The country began to rectify the rare earth industry a few years ago, but the rectification has achieved remarkable results. Many illegal mines that were dug and mined indiscriminately have basically been closed down. The country controls all domestic rare earth mining processes.
And compared with the direct export of rare earths before, rare earth smelting technology has been improving in recent years. Therefore, the original purchase of raw materials has been changed to the current purchase of semi-processed products, and the income has further increased.
However, in the international market, the price of rare earths and semi-finished products exported from China has not been able to increase. At the beginning, Yang Dongxu thought that as long as rare earth mining was well controlled and there were no private transactions, raising the price of rare earth exports would not be a big problem.
But now it seems that he undoubtedly thought this issue was too simple at the beginning. The country also hopes to increase the export price of rare earths. After all, if you can sell things at the price of gold, who wants to sell scrap iron?
But this is not about raising prices just because you want to. Not to mention the disapproval of those foreign businessmen who have joined forces. If the domestic side does not let go, life will be difficult for itself.
First of all, China is indeed rich in rare earth reserves, but this does not mean that other countries do not have them. At the same time, in order to develop the domestic economy, rare earths were one of the main channels to obtain foreign exchange through export.
If you close this channel, although there will be no loss in rare earth exports, your foreign exchange reserves will also decrease accordingly. Without foreign exchange, how can you buy technology, oil, and iron ore internationally?
You must know that the U.S. dollar is currently the dominant player in global transactions. People do not recognize the use of RMB to settle transactions with cargo owners.
Therefore, although the reprocessing and selling of semi-finished products of rare earths has increased the profits of rare earth exports, the price of rare earth exports is still very frustrating.
"Is there any progress in our research and development of rare earth element applications?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Because part of the research on rare earth elements is developed in cooperation with the above, many processes are kept secret. However, last month there was good news from the rare earth element research and development room. The research on europium has made great progress.
Not surprisingly, within the next six months to one year, Dongxu Technology's LCD display technology will reach a new height. "Ye Rongrong couldn't help but smile on her face and said.
"What about touch screen technology?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask.
Breakthroughs in LCD research and development are certainly exciting news, but touch screen technology is also a top priority. To put it bluntly, even if Dongxu Technology cannot develop chip technology in the next ten years, it will still be able to get a share of the future smartphone market with its absolutely leading touch screen technology.
"The light transmittance is still not very ideal. It can only reach 57% at present, and the screen glass is also a huge problem. At present, no matter whether it is domestic or international, it is impossible to find better glass as a touch screen. The light rate is too low and the light loss is very high.”
“If we could solve the glass problem, how high could the light transmittance be?”
"Experts from the scientific research office said that it should be increased by at least 7%. This is when the single-sided reflection light loss rate of the glass is 5%. If the quality of the glass can be further improved, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the light transmittance. After all, glass is Double-sided, every percentage point increase will double the effect." Ye Rongrong looked at Yang Dongxu expectantly.
I hope that my omnipotent boss can help the company solve this big problem. When she first saw the touch screen technology hidden in the laboratory, Ye Rongrong was instantly fascinated by this little thing, which was like filming a science fiction movie.
At the same time, as the executive director of Dongxu Technology, her keen sense of business also made her understand immediately that this was a new gold mine.
“What is the reflection refractive index of currently used glass?”
"About 6.5%, one-sided."
“You can order glass with high transmittance from major international glass manufacturers, using the current breakthrough liquid crystal display as an excuse.
Domestic glass manufacturers should not let themselves shine here. As far as I know, there are several domestic glass factories whose technologies are leading internationally. If it is not possible, we can invest in research and development together. At the same time, pay more attention to Apple in the United States. "
"Are they also developing a touch screen project?" Ye Rongrong raised her eyebrows.
"Not only are they developing touch-screen projects, they are even developing touch-screen mobile phones. But it's too early to say this now, but you should be able to see touch-screen MP4 and other products before long.
So although the light transmittance is still not satisfactory, while researching and developing, we should also convert this technology into MP4 and put it into production. After all, this is a high-tech product.
People have never seen it before. As long as the picture is not too blurry, everyone's acceptance is still very high. It can be used just in time to make Dongxuke Technology famous again. Yang Dongxu said.
"Then wouldn't the secret of our touch screen development be exposed?"
"It's okay to simply expose it. After all, no one knows that our biggest goal is to use this to make a touch-screen mobile phone. And our touch-screen technology is different from the touch-screen technology currently circulating on the market." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but feel at this point. Showing an arrogant look.
Touch screen technology is actually not a new thing, because it appeared very early. As early as 1971, someone in the United States invented a touch sensor.
It’s just that no one has used it on mobile phones to make people feel like a genius, so it has always been tepid and not so amazing.
But now, for the resistive touch screen with relatively mature technology on the market, Dongxu Technology develops a capacitive touch screen. Although the latter is only slightly higher than the former in terms of light transmittance, this higher point is the key to success and the absolute leadership in technology.
So Yang Dongxu wants to see it. When everyone thinks that the touch screen of Dongxu Technology is also a resistive touch screen. Although it feels awesome when used on MP4, people who really know the industry don't care too much. .
As a result, one day when Boss Qiao was promoting how awesome his love was, Dongxu Technology suddenly announced that its smartphones used a more advanced capacitive touch screen. What kind of expression did Boss Qiao have?
Of course, this is what I think in my heart. As a company as big as Apple, it is unlikely that it would make such a common sense mistake. As soon as Dongxu Technology's touch screen is put on the market, after a quick inspection, you will know that it is a capacitive touch screen, not a traditional resistive touch screen.
But even if Boss Qiao had touched the capacitive screen in advance, his expression would have been very exciting when he learned the news, but it was a pity that Yang Dongxu couldn't see it.
The negotiations with Nokia went very smoothly, especially after Yang Dongxu gave up his shares to replace Nokia and got rid of the situation where the parent company was controlled. Some even more sensitive technical parties began to make selective concessions.
After all, the current mobile phone market is so hot, and the shares in Yang Dongxu's hands are appreciating every day. The tone set at the beginning of the contract was to purchase at a premium based on the stock price on the day of signing.
The negotiation team and Nokia spent five days working on it. It wasn't until Adams suddenly came to Yanjing on the sixth day that the other party reluctantly agreed.
So on the one hand, every day of delay will cost you a lot more money; on the other hand, if you get these shares one day earlier, you will make money earlier. Under such a momentum trend, Nokia is quite active.
Adams came to Yanjing this time specifically to send favors. Although many bigwigs were interested in the shares of Nokia's mobile phone business.
However, Nokia is quite protective of the situation. In addition, the sales of Nokia mobile phones have hit new highs in recent years. Therefore, Nokia shareholders are also very wealthy. It is a bit unrealistic to snatch meat from their bowl.
Therefore, Adams's position in coming to China this time is very clear. He is here to be a spoiler, to send a favor to this mysterious man from the East, and to further draw the relationship between him and First Bank. Completing this is equivalent to completing his mission.
But what he didn't expect was that the small favor he had sincerely sent thousands of miles away would receive a huge reward just after he sent it.
With an investment capital of US$1 billion, even though he was used to seeing all kinds of big money in the investment department of First Bank, a lot of money seemed to Adams to be just a series of numbers.
But when the other party casually gave him such a sum of investment funds as a follow-up, Adams was still stunned on the spot and took a deep breath to calm down.
"I wonder if Mr. Yang has any investment tendencies? If so, we will formulate a professional financial plan based on your preferences." After coming back to his senses, Adams appeared to be extremely calm and professional on the surface, but he was making self-criticism on the inside.
As a professional financial advisor, after hearing the amount of funds provided by the client, instead of responding professionally, he was stunned. There is a feeling of being overwhelmed by money, which will undoubtedly leave a very bad impression on the guests.
"I don't have any special preference, as long as I can make money. You are a professional in investment, so I believe you can maximize the return on funds." Yang Dongxu said with a smile, motioning for Adams to eat.
He obviously didn't care about Adams' daze just now, because he knew that the other party was not knocked unconscious by money. It's just that happiness came too suddenly, and I couldn't get used to it for a while.
And the reason why I am so absent-minded has something to do with the current conversation environment. This is a Chinese restaurant, and more importantly, it is a hot pot restaurant. What you want is not mandarin duck pot, but spicy pot.
This is very different from the Western restaurants or cafes where Adams often eats with customers, even in the office where negotiations are held.
Although when he was told that he wanted to win the big client Yang Dongxu, he also had an in-depth understanding of the customs and living habits of the Chinese people. He even found a China expert to learn about this aspect, and at the same time he was still supplementing it. Chinese.
But the noisy environment of the hot pot restaurant and the extreme taste stimulation in his mouth made him involuntarily go crazy. He was able to stabilize quickly and calmly, using chopsticks that he was not used to, he picked up a piece of tripe and put it into his bowl. .
And there was no resistance or even rejection of unfamiliar ingredients on his face. He chewed it very easily, and gave a thumbs up to praise how delicious it was, with a look of enjoyment on his face. This is definitely not something ordinary foreigners can do.
Yang Dongxu can be sure that Adams, who worked diligently to learn everything about China in order to get close to him, has absolutely no idea what a hairy belly is.
