Chapter 341 The First Generation Of Gorilla Glass
And at this time.
Lu Yi, who was far away in Su City, didn't know what was being discussed at the flower factory's internal meeting, let alone that Yu Chengdong was already on his way to Su City.
At this moment, he, Liu Hong and his party arrived at Kangxing Joint Venture Factory.
Since Lu Yi created a big and fragrant pie for Corning, Corning, from CEO Wendell Weeks to ordinary employees, has attached great importance to the joint venture.
Because they all know it.
Although Lu Yi drew a big pie for them, this pie may not become reality.
Once it becomes a reality, Corning will take the lead.
According to the winner-take-all rule, all major mobile phone manufacturers in the world will have to seek cooperation with Corning.
At that time, Corning will also use this to get out of the current predicament and become great again.
so.
After the joint venture plant was built, Corning headquarters mobilized a group of engineers with strong technical capabilities to come to Sioux City to specialize in research on diamond glass.
In the end, it lived up to expectations.
Two Corning chemists proposed a "melt pull-down" technology that improves the process. The melted glass is poured into a refractory tank. The sides of the refractory tank overflow and converge below the refractory tank. When pulled down at a certain speed, it A continuous sheet of glass will appear.
"Melting pull-down" and ion space exchange chemical enhancement constitute the two core technologies of Gorilla Glass.
then.
A new generation of diamond glass appears.
Kangxing joint venture factory.
In the laboratory.
At this moment, a technician was holding a piece of glass in his hand to explain to Lu Yi.
This piece of glass is a new generation of diamond glass that was completed in accordance with the requirements of Blue Star Electronics and took four months to complete.
Now.
The technical research and development personnel of the Kangxing joint venture factory have reduced the original 4mm thick diamond glass to the 1.3mm thickness required by Blue Star Electronics.
Not only has the thickness been reduced, but its performance has also been greatly improved in terms of scratch resistance and drop resistance.
In the laboratory, technicians conducted a series of experimental tests on the newly developed diamond glass in front of Lu Yi. It can be said that it exceeded the technical requirements put forward by Blue Star Electronics.
"Warigood!"
After Lu Yi saw it, he gave a thumbs up.
He said to John Bruce, director of the Kangxing joint venture factory: "This is the glass cover we need at Blue Star Electronics. The quality is very good. Your company's technical strength is indeed strong."
This is a very pleasant cooperation between both of us. "
John Bruce responded with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your recognition. We at Kangxing are very honored."
Although foreigners feel superior to others in front of Chinese people, it also depends on who is in front of them.
Let alone John Bruce, even if Corning CEO Wendell Weeks came, he would not be proud in front of Lu Nan.
"Mr. Bruce, have you named this newly developed diamond glass? Or should we just continue calling it diamond glass?" Lu Yi asked with a smile.
John Bruce said: "Mr. Lu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Lu Yi said: "As the saying goes, a new year brings a new atmosphere. Tomorrow we will enter a new year. I think we can change the name instead of calling it King Kong Glass."
"Oh? What's that name?" John Bruce asked.
How about Gorilla Glass?”
"Didn't Hollywood release a remake of the 1993 classic movie "King Kong" some time ago?"
"King Kong is originally a gorilla, and now the first generation of new King Kong glass developed by your company fits the name of a gorilla."
Lu Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, John Bruce's eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "It's called Gorilla Glass. This is the first generation of Gorilla Glass. Mr. Lu, you are so talented!
"Haha, where is it?
Lu Yi was modest.
What is talent but not talent? I am using it as a form of ism!
then.
The first generation of Kangxing Gorilla Glass was decided.
Subsequently.
The two parties came to a conference room and began to negotiate on procurement matters.
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement to supply Blue Star Electronics at a price of 13.5 meters of gold per piece.
Blue Star Electronics placed a one-time order of 2 million pieces. In addition, Blue Star Electronics is one of the joint venture partners of the Kangxing Joint Venture Factory, so John Bruce gave a considerable discount.
Although it was not a loss, this order did not make much money.
Of course.
What John Bruce wants is to rely on Blue Star Electronics to open up the reputation of Gorilla Glass.
Once you become famous, are you still worried that you won't be able to make any money later?
Now the most important thing for Kangxing Gorilla Glass is to build a reputation in order to attract customers from around the world.
Bluestar Electronics alone will never be able to support Kangxing.
It is impossible to develop the first generation of Kangxing Gorilla Glass, and it will just fall flat later. If we don’t continue to iteratively develop the technology, it will be surpassed by others sooner or later.
soon.
Relevant news was revealed from the Kangxing joint venture factory.
Now that the Kangxing joint venture needs to make Gorilla Glass famous, it will naturally not miss any opportunity.
Blue Star Electronics' 27 million meter gold order is undoubtedly a good gimmick, which can initially open up the Kangxing joint venture factory's reputation in the glass cover area.
Lu Yi had nothing to say about John Bruce's approach.
I’m not worried that the [Peak Plan] will be leaked.
What can just a glass cover reveal?
Nowadays, there are many people on the market who use high-strength glass as mobile phone covers.
Of course.
As soon as the news came out, the outside world became more certain that Blue Star Electronics would enter the mobile phone industry.
Otherwise, why would Blue Star Electronics go it alone?
Just placing a one-time order of 2 million pieces, is Lu Yi really confident that he can make a name for himself in the mobile phone industry? 827 Countless people expressed doubts!
The news spread to two glass cover companies, Lansi Technology and Boen Optical, which made the top management of the two companies a little unhappy.
27 million meters of gold, equivalent to RMB 216 million, is definitely a huge deal.
Let’s not talk about Born Optics. It was established in 1986 and has already become the world’s largest glass panel manufacturer. Its reputation and strength are there, and there is no shortage of orders.
Orders cannot be received every year. Without the Blue Star Electronics order, the impact is actually not big.
But for Lansi Technology, the impact is huge.
Lansi Technology was founded in 2003, and it has only been two or three years now. It is still in a state of loss. It needs a big order to reverse the current loss-making situation.
If we can win the Blue Star Electronics deal, we can turn losses into profits, boost morale, and the company will have money to expand its production lines.
Blue Star Electronics also approached them at first, but unfortunately, their products could not satisfy Blue Star Electronics, and there was no follow-up.
Naturally, Lu Yi will not sacrifice the interests of users in order to help domestic manufacturers.
That is irresponsible to users, and also irresponsible to your own company.
Although Blue Star Electronics is now cooperating with Corning, it does not exclude domestic manufacturers. As long as the products of domestic manufacturers can meet the requirements of Blue Star Electronics, this is the first premise, and Yuanwei Yi will never give in. .
