Age of Dreams

The next day, that is, Tuesday, April 12, Xiao Qi got up early in the morning, got in a taxi, and went to Corning in upstate New York. It took a day to sign a toughened glass with Corning. Custom-made contract.

Corning may not be so famous among Chinese people, but this Fortune 500 company is a leader in the American glass industry. It is equivalent to Jingdezhen's porcelain in the eyes of Chinese people. The glass they make, It is loved and sought after by users all over the United States.

The 9.7-inch tempered glass with a thickness of 1mm required by Xiao Qi has the strength to reach the level of S. For other companies, it may be difficult, but at Corning, it is not a problem at all.

Several managers read Xiao Qi's order size and other requirements, and directly asked Xiao Qi to go to Corning City for a round, eat a light meal and then come back, and then they could see the finished product.

Xiao Qi was shocked by the efficiency of these people, so he walked around in the small town of Corning, accompanied by a beauty in the public relations department of Corning, and ate the most famous Corning city happily by the way. The devil's sandwich—that is, extra-large bread and a lot of meat and vegetables together, I have to say again that the American diet is almost a hundred blocks away from China.

However, the devil's sandwich with a little green onion tasted good. During the meal, Xiao Qi began to develop his eloquence again. It didn’t take long for Mei Ren Er to laugh for the Nth time today, looking towards Xiao Qi. His eyes are also full of appreciation. If the teenager proposes a pleasant date tonight, it is probably not difficult to get a beautiful woman in bed.

American girls, especially girls who are not married, are very open to the matter of happiness. If you like this man, you can have a good night.

Seeing Mei Ren'er's delicate eyes, Xiao Qi immediately knew that he could not overdo it, so he gradually shifted the content of the conversation to other aspects, lest he would be eaten by this beauty later, that would be sorry for Fairy and Maggie.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Meiren'er to receive a call from the company, and she reluctantly returned to Corning with Xiao Qi.

Nearly when Xiao Qi followed the managers into the finished product workshop, Mei Ren'er and Xiao Qi hugged and left, and by the way they kissed Xiao Qi on the cheek. Several managers secretly gave Xiao Qi a thumbs up.

Don't talk about it. Under the leadership of the managers, Xiao Qi passed by several large workshops, and finally came to a huge finished product workshop with a very fine division of labor.

Many small inter-factory shuttle buses are moved back and forth outside the workshop. Many finished products are placed in a fixed area. The quantity is not too large. The chances of looking like samples are more than those of large quantities. Finished product production.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi entered one of the rooms. There are already two or three skilled workers waiting.

Following the gesture of one of the managers, the skilled worker lifted the mask on the milky white workbench, revealing three pieces of slightly dark ultra-thin glass inside.

"9.7 inches...1mm thickness...with MTT material added to make the glass softer...Strengthening degree S grade...Excellent conductivity..."

Every time the manager repeats a request from Xiao Qi, the skilled worker tests a technical index. All tests are very strict and institutionalized. Xiao Qi can observe all the processes.

Including the conductivity of the last item, Corning's tempered glass is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Many expensive high-end mobile phones use its tempered glass, so it has a touch transmission function. They also have their own set of purchased instruments, which can fully test the conductivity of multi-touch.

Facts have proved that Corning is worthy of being the leader of the American glass company. This kind of tempered glass, which should have appeared on NE and IPAD, is of very good quality. It has fully met Xiao Qi’s expectations. It feels like holding it in his hand. When using the IPAD. There is not much difference.

The quality has passed, and the rest is price negotiation.

Before Xiao Qi came, he had made an investigation and was clear about Corning's approximate price, but Corning didn't know how big Xiao Qi's business was, so they were sadly fooled.

"The order quantity is more than one million pieces, the price is ten dollars per piece; the price is more than five million pieces, the price is eight dollars per piece; the price is more than ten million pieces, the price is six dollars per piece; and the price is more than 20 million pieces. It is five dollars per piece.... If the annual order quantity exceeds 20 million pieces, the price will be executed for three years."

Of course, other than that, starting from Corning’s supply contract, Xiao Qi will use black and white to ask them to strictly keep secret when signing every supply contract, and not to disclose the information about his order.

The price of each piece of tempered glass is five dollars, and Corning still makes a profit, but that is small profits but quick turnover.

But Corning’s managers don’t think they will sell more quickly. They think that a Chinese electronic product that can sell two or three million units per year is already sky-high, so the price of ten dollars per piece is definitely Profiteering.

As a deposit, Xiao Qi handed over 5 million U.S. dollars when signing the contract and asked Corning to send 100 samples to Chenhong Optoelectronics and Shenghua Technology in Baodao. They integrated touch screens and LCDs together. The screen and tempered glass can make the product better.

As the saying goes ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Good things usually come one after another. After Xiao Qi returned to the Hilton Hotel at night, he received a call from a private detective company, and then a bunch of information about Linus Torvalds. , And sent to Xiao Qi's room.

I opened it and saw that Linus' current situation was as good as he had imagined. After they came out of Transmeta, their family moved to New York. They are now helping a technology company with some system construction tasks, and they are also improving in their spare time. And developing his NUX system.

Linus is not a person who loves money, and he doesn't like to enjoy it very much, so he lives in a very popular place. It is just an apartment next to a school. The environment is somewhat noisy. It is reasonable to say that it is not suitable for the work of programmers, but He also enjoys it, and takes his children out to play with a smile every day.

The most feared in business are people who have no desires, but Linus is such a person, so he dares to scold Joe, the vice president of Microsoft, the president of Nokia in the Americas... As long as he feels profitable, he dares. Go scolding.

However, due to his outstanding achievements, the leader of Qiao's gang will not care about him. Anyone with extraordinary abilities should be respected. This is the consensus of those who engage in technology. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
