Chapter 1276 Touch Screen

The country began to rectify rare earths a few years ago, but this rectification has achieved remarkable results. Many illegal mines that were dug and mined indiscriminately have been basically closed, and the country has mastered all the domestic rare earth mining processes.

And compared with the previous direct export of rare earths, rare earth smelting technology has been improving in recent years. Therefore, the original purchase of raw materials has changed to the current purchase of semi-processed products, and the income has further increased.

However, in the international market, the prices of rare earths and domestically exported rare earth semi-finished products have not been raised. At the beginning, Yang Dongxu thought that as long as the rare earth mining was well controlled and there were not so many private transactions, it would not be a big problem to raise the export price of rare earths.

But now it seems that he undoubtedly thought too simply about this problem at the beginning. The country also hopes to raise the export price of rare earths. After all, who wants to sell scrap iron when they can sell gold prices?

But this is not a price increase if you want to raise the price. Let alone the disagreement of those foreign businessmen, if the domestic side is stuck and does not let go, it will not be easy for itself.

First of all, China's rare earth reserves are indeed rich, 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 for exporting and obtaining foreign exchange.

If you close this channel, there will be no loss in rare earth exports, but your foreign exchange reserves will also decrease accordingly. How can you buy technology, oil, and iron ore internationally without foreign exchange?

You must know that the US dollar is the current hegemon of global transactions. The RMB is not recognized by the cargo owners.

Therefore, although the reprocessing and sale 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.

"Have we made any progress in the application and research and development of rare earth elements?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Because some rare earth element research is developed in cooperation with the above, many processes are kept confidential. However, there was good news from the rare earth element research and development room last month. The research on europium has made great progress.

If nothing unexpected happens, within the next six months to a year, Dongxu Technology's technology on LCD screens will reach a new height." Ye Rongrong couldn't help but smile and said.

"What about touch screen technology?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask.

The breakthrough in the development of LCD screens is certainly exciting good 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 can still get a share of the future smartphone market with its absolutely leading touch screen technology.

"The light transmittance is still not very ideal, currently only 57%, and the screen glass is also a huge problem. At present, no better glass can be found as a touch screen, either domestically or internationally. The light transmittance is too low and the light loss is very high."

"If the glass problem can be solved, how much light transmittance can be achieved?"

"The experts in the research laboratory said that it will be increased by at least 7%. This is when the light loss rate of single-sided reflection of glass is 5%. If the quality of glass can be further improved, there is still a lot of room for light transmittance to be improved. After all, glass is double-sided, and every percentage point increase is a double effect improvement." Ye Rongrong looked at Yang Dongxu hopefully.

I hope that my omnipotent boss can help the company solve this big problem. When I first saw the touch screen technology hidden in the laboratory, Ye Rongrong instantly fell in love with this little thing that was like shooting a science fiction movie.

At the same time, as the executive director of Dongxu Technology, her keen sense of business also made her realize that this was a new gold mine at the first time.

"What is the reflective loss rate of the glass currently used?"

"About 6.5%, single-sided."

"You can order high-transmittance glass from major international glass manufacturers, using the current breakthrough in LCD displays as an excuse.

Domestic glass manufacturers should not be too proud. As far as I know, there are several domestic glass factories with leading technologies in the world. If it doesn't work, 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 touch-screen projects?" 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 products like touch-screen MP4s in a short time.

So although the transmittance is still not satisfactory, while developing, we should also transform this technology into production on MP4s. After all, this is a high-tech product.

People have never seen it before. As long as the picture is not too blurry, everyone is still very receptive. It's just right to bring it out to make Dongxu Technology famous again." Yang Dongxu said.

"Then the secret of our touch screen development is exposed?"

"It's okay to expose it briefly. 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 showing a proud look on his face when he said this.

Touch screen technology is actually nothing new, because it appeared very early. As early as 1971, someone in the United States invented the touch sensor.

It's just that no one has used it on mobile phones, which makes people feel like a genius idea, so it has been tepid and not so amazing.

But for the relatively mature resistive touch screens on the market, Dongxu Technology has developed a capacitive touch screen. Although the latter is only slightly higher than the former in terms of light transmittance, this point is the key to success and the absolute leading technology.

So Yang Dongxu really wanted to see what would happen when everyone thought that Dongxu Technology's touch screen was also a resistive touch screen. Although it was used on MP4, it was very cool, but for those who really knew the business, they would not care too much.

As a result, one day when Boss Joe was promoting how awesome his iPhone was, Dongxu Technology suddenly announced that its smartphones used a more advanced capacitive touch screen. What kind of expression did Boss Joe have?

Of course, this was just a mental YY. Apple, such a big company, probably wouldn't make such a common sense mistake. As long as Dongxu Technology's touch screen is put on the market, a quick check will tell that it is a capacitive touch screen, not a traditional resistive touch screen.

But even if Boss Joe had known about the capacitive touch screen in advance, his expression at the time must have been very exciting. Unfortunately, Yang Dongxu couldn't see it.

The negotiations with Nokia went smoothly, especially after Yang Dongxu gave up his shares in exchange for Nokia and got rid of the situation of the parent company being controlled, the other party began to make selective concessions on some sensitive technologies.

After all, the current mobile phone market is so hot that 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 grinding, until Adams suddenly came to Yanjing on the sixth day, and the other party reluctantly agreed.

So on the one hand, every day of delay, they have to pay a lot more money, and on the other hand, the sooner they get these shares, the sooner they can make money. Under such a dynamic trend, Nokia is quite active.

Adams came to Yanjing this time to send favors, although many bigwigs are interested in Nokia's mobile phone business shares.

But Nokia is quite protective of its food, and in addition, Nokia's mobile phone sales have hit new highs in recent years, so Nokia's shareholders are also rich and powerful, and it is a bit unrealistic to want to grab meat from their bowls.

So Adams's position in coming to China this time was very clear, that is, to be a troublemaker, to do a favor to this mysterious oriental man, to further bring him closer to the First Bank, and to accomplish this was equivalent to completing his mission.

What he didn't expect was that the small favor he had sent with sincerity from afar had just received a considerable return.

1 billion US dollars of investment funds, even if he was used to seeing all kinds of big money in the First Bank Investment Department, a lot of money was just a series of numbers in Adams' eyes.

But when the other party casually gave him such a sum of investment funds, Adams was still stunned on the spot and took a deep breath before he recovered.

"I wonder if Mr. Yang has any investment preferences? If there are investment preferences, we will develop a professional financial plan based on your preferences." Adams, who came back to his senses, seemed extremely calm and professional on the surface, but the insider was criticizing himself.

As a professional financial advisor, after hearing the amount of funds provided by the customer, he did not respond professionally, but was stunned. There was a feeling of being stunned by the money, which would undoubtedly leave a very bad impression on the customer.

"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 of this fund." Yang Dongxu said with a smile, motioning Adams to eat.

He obviously didn't care about Adams's daze just now, because he knew that the other party was not stunned by the money. It's just that happiness came too suddenly, and it was a bit difficult to adapt for a while.

And the reason for such a daze is related to the current conversation environment. This is a Chinese restaurant, and more importantly, it is a hot pot restaurant. What you want is not a shuangyang pot, but a spicy pot.

This is very different from the Western restaurant where Adams often ate with guests, or the coffee shop, even in the office where it was a negotiation occasion.

Although when he was told to take down Yang Dongxu, a big customer, he also made a deep understanding of the customs and living habits of the Chinese people, and even found a China expert to learn about this aspect, and at the same time he was cramming Chinese.

But the hot pot restaurant was a bit noisy, and the extreme taste stimulation in his mouth made him a little abnormal. He was able to quickly stabilize himself, and calmly used the public chopsticks that he was not used to to pick up a piece of tripe and put it in his bowl.

And there was no resistance or even rejection on his face when facing unfamiliar ingredients. He chewed very easily, and gave a thumbs up to praise the deliciousness, and his face showed a look of enjoyment. This is definitely not something that ordinary foreigners can do.

Yang Dongxu was sure that Adams, who was diligently studying everything about China in order to get close to him, definitely didn't know what tripe was.
