Chapter 220 Are they all family? The Clown Chief
Chapter 220 Are they all family? The Clown Chief
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingyong subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
It wasn't out of fear, but rather the name?
The mayor's visit is a good thing; it's an affirmation of their work.
It could have been a great publicity stunt, but the boss said it was a huge misfortune...
Only your own boss would say something like that.
……
Phase II production line.
It took this factory about two years to go from a barren land to lighting up the first screen, and then to achieving a yield rate of over 87%.
The second-phase production line is an expansion project of this factory.
The total investment is estimated at RMB 30 billion, and the production capacity will increase by 2.2 times, expected to capture about 80% of the domestic high-end market.
money is not a problem.
Transsion has money on hand; it has at least several billion in cash in its accounts.
The problem is the land.
Industrial land in the Yangcheng Development Zone is becoming increasingly scarce. The plot of land next to the Transsion Panel has long been coveted by others, with several companies interested in it.
At 2 p.m., Yangcheng Mayor Chen Jianhua arrived.
He brought an inspection team of more than 20 people, all of whom were the heads of various bureaus in the city. The Development and Reform Commission, the Industry and Information Technology Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, the Planning Bureau—basically, everyone who could come was there.
Chen Jianhua is 56 years old. He has already benefited from Zhang Shiqing's support to get to this point, but his age used to be his limit.
"Mr. Chen, we're practically family. No need for all that formalities, just show us around."
Chen Mingyong nodded, understanding the meaning of the topic.
So he led them directly into the workshop.
Inside the cleanroom, rows of vapor deposition machines are humming and running. Robotic arms sweep through the air, grabbing glass substrates and precisely placing them onto the conveyor belt.
"This workshop is currently the largest OLED production line in China," Chen Mingyong introduced as he walked. "It is designed to have a monthly production capacity of 5 glass substrates, and each substrate can be cut into 200 5-inch screens."
In other words, at full production capacity, it can produce 1000 million mobile phone screens per month.
Chen Jianhua nodded excitedly. As a veteran representative, he knew how difficult it was for Transsion to achieve this.
So looking at these production lines, his eyes were filled with excitement, and he wanted to do as much as possible to repay the leader's kindness in promoting him.
"Is 1000 million yuan enough?"
"Not enough." Chen Mingyong was very straightforward. "Just the mobile phones we use for transmitting audio alone cost at least 300 million yuan every month."
In addition, Huawei received another 200 million.
Currently, the production capacity for orders from ZTE, Lenovo, and Coolpad is already saturated.
So that's why we need Phase Two?
"What will be the production capacity of the second phase? What is the expected area it will cover?" the planning bureau director asked solemnly.
"The design is to produce 10 substrates per month, which will produce 2000 million screens per month."
Once fully operational, Transsion Panel will become the world's third-largest LED screen supplier, after Samsung and LG.
Chen Jianhua nodded, a look of approval on his face.
The director of the Investment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission leaned over and whispered, "Mayor, there are several other companies vying for the land next door."
One of them is a South Korean company that also makes panels... but the terms haven't been agreed upon yet.
Chen Jianhua glanced at it but ignored it.
Of course he knew about it. Zhang Shiqing had sent him a document, which showed that the company was a subsidiary of Sansang.
The investment invitation sent at this time was a ploy to target Transsion.
The slogans they shouted were indeed very loud.
They plan to invest 500 billion yuan to build China's largest panel production base in Guangzhou.
The project will include one 8.5-generation large-size LCD production line, four 5-generation LCD production lines, and three 4.5-generation LCD production lines.
But the other party just kept dragging out the negotiations and refused to move forward with the work.
The meaning is clear: they are preparing to use the same methods they used against Dongfang Factory on Transsion Company, but unfortunately, he won't fall for it.
Chen Jianhua continued walking forward to the aging test area. Rows of screens were lighting up simultaneously, their colorful lights flashing in the dark workshop, somewhat like a scene from a science fiction movie.
"Mr. Chen, as I said, we're family. Tell me the truth, where exactly does this screen fall short compared to Sansang?" Chen Jianhua suddenly asked.
Chen Mingyong thought for a moment.
"To be honest, there is definitely a gap."
Although Sansang has been making OLED screens for 10 years, everyone thinks their technology is definitely better than ours.
But in reality, our technology is still a bit more advanced.
For example, in terms of brightness, our screen can achieve 550 nits, while Samsung can only achieve 420.
The same applies to excitation brightness; we are also significantly ahead.
The most advanced technology is still anti-burn-in screen technology.
Chen Mingyong picked up a screen, looked at the leaders present, and then began to praise it again.
"You leaders should have done your research before coming here. The display effect of OLED panels is definitely the future trend, and it can greatly improve the user experience."
However, it also has a fatal problem: screen burn-in.
Leaders, you should know this, right?
Chen Mingyong looked at them again.
Chen Jianhua also looked at them, and the group of people just stared at each other blankly.
Especially that investment director who just spoke up, how come Sansang is worse than them? Wasn't Sansang supposed to be number one in this area?
Why is this script wrong?
Chen Jianhua looked at the group, a hint of disdain on his face. They were all just there for the spectacle, but when it came to the technical aspects…
"Mr. Chen, we are all laymen. Could you explain it again? Please don't use any technical terms, we don't understand them."
Just give me a general idea.
Chen Mingyong nodded: "Simply put, the diamond arrangement used in our OLED panels is the best arrangement in the world, and no one can surpass it."
Not to mention now, it's impossible within the next 10 years.
The head of the investment department clearly wanted to test him further, and followed up with a skeptical tone: "Is it really that good? It won't surpass them in 10 years. That's Samsung, their panels and storage are world-leading."
If Chen Jianhua hadn't been there, he would have definitely asked him a lot of questions.
But this immediately amused Chen Xiyong: "Director Chen, open your eyes and look at the world! Some technologies are not so easy to surpass."
But some technologies aren't that difficult.
Chen Jianhua frowned as well. How was today's list reviewed? How could there be such an inconsiderate person?
No, this is the secretary's person; the other party has always wanted to bring in some international companies.
"Of course, there are still some gaps. For example, in terms of flexible screens, Sansang has already started mass production, while we are still working on overcoming them."
However, we are confident that we can catch up with them this year.
Chen Jianhua looked at him and suddenly laughed: "President Chen, this man is honest. Everyone else is just bragging, but you're exposing your own shortcomings."
"We're all from the same clan, there's no point in getting into those superficial things."
Chen Jianhua laughed heartily, "We're family, why bother with all this nonsense?"
After touring the workshop, the group arrived at the conference room...
