The next day, Tuesday, April 12, Xiao Qi got up early in the morning, took a taxi and went to Corning city in northern New York. He spent a day signing a customized contract for tempered glass with Corning company.
Corning company may not be so famous in the ears of Chinese people, but this fortune 500 company is a leader in the American glass industry. It is equivalent to the status of Jingdezhen porcelain in the eyes of Chinese people. The glass they make is deeply loved and sought after by users in the United States.
The strength of 9.7-inch tempered glass with 1mm thickness required by Xiaoqi should reach grade s. It may be difficult for other companies, but it is not a problem at all in Corning.
After reading Xiao Qi's order size and other requirements, several managers directly asked Xiao Qi to go around Corning City, have a light meal, and then come back to see the finished products.
Xiao Qi was shocked by the efficiency of these people, so accompanied by a beautiful woman from the public relations department of Corning company, he looked around the small town of Corning, and happily ate the most famous devil sandwich in Corning - that is, extra large bread and extra meat and vegetables. Once again, the American diet, It's a hundred blocks from China.
However, the devil sandwich with some scallions tastes good. During the meal, Xiao Qi began to exercise his eloquence again. It didn't take long to make meixx laugh for the nth time today. His eyes looking at Xiao Qi are full of appreciation. If the teenager puts forward a happy date tonight, it's estimated that it's not difficult to get meix into XX.
American girls, especially unmarried girls, are very open about XXX. If they like this man, they can have a good night.
Looking at Mei x'er's charming eyes, Xiao Qi immediately knew he couldn't go too far, so he gradually turned the content of the conversation to other aspects, so as not to be eaten by Mei x'er later. That's sorry for the fairy and Meiji.
Fortunately, before long, meix'er received a call from the company, which reluctantly took Xiao Qi back to Corning company.
When Xiao Qi entered the finished product workshop with the managers, Mei x'er and Xiao Qi hugged each other and kissed Xiao Qi on the face, which made several managers give Xiao Qi a thumbs up.
Without mentioning the gossip, under the leadership of the managers, Xiao Qi passed by several large factories and finally came to a large but carefully divided finished product workshop.
Many small inter factory cars move back and forth outside the workshop. Many finished products have been placed in fixed areas, and the number is not many. The probability of looking like samples is more than mass production of finished products.
Sure enough, after Xiao Qi entered one of the rooms, two or three skilled workers were waiting.
With the gesture of one of the managers, the technicians uncovered the mask on the XX white workbench and revealed three ultra-thin glasses with a little dark color.
"9.7 inches... 1mm thick... Add MTT material to soften the glass color... Strength grade s... excellent conductivity..."
Every time the manager repeats Xiao Qi's requirements, the technical workers test a technical index. All tests are very strict and institutionalized. Xiao Qi can observe all processes.
Including the conduction performance of the last item, although Corning's tempered glass is very expensive, it is worth every penny. Many expensive high-end mobile phones will use its tempered glass. Therefore, for the touch conduction function, they also have their own set of purchased instruments, which can fully test the conductivity of multi-point touch.
Facts have proved that Corning is worthy of being the leader of American glass company. The tempered glass that should have appeared on the iPhone and iPad is of quite good quality and fully meets Xiao Qi's expectations. The feeling of holding it in his hand is not much different from that when he uses it with the iPad.
The quality has passed, and the rest is price negotiation.
Xiao Qi had a survey before he came to know the approximate price of Corning, but Corning didn't know how big Xiao Qi's business was, so they were tragically deceived.
"The order quantity is more than one million pieces, and the price is US $10 per piece; More than five million tablets, the price is $8 per tablet; More than 10 million tablets, the price is $6 per tablet; More than 20 million pieces, the price is five dollars per piece If the annual order quantity exceeds 20 million pieces, the execution time of this price will remain unchanged for three years. "
Of course, in addition, starting from the supply contract of Corning company, Xiao Qi will require them to keep their orders strictly confidential in black and white when signing each supply contract.
The price of each piece of tempered glass is five dollars. Corning still makes money, but it is a small profit and quick turnover.
But Corning's managers don't think they will make a small profit and sell more. They think that a Chinese electronic product can sell two or three million units a year, which is the top of the sky. Therefore, the price of $10 per piece is definitely a huge profit.
As a deposit, Xiao Qi handed over US $5 million when signing the contract, and asked Corning company to send 100 samples to CHENHONG optoelectronics and Shenghua technology in Baodao. They can better produce products by integrating touch screen, LCD screen and tempered glass together.
As the saying goes, good things usually come one after another. After Xiao Qi returned to the Hilton Hotel in the evening, he received a call from the private detective company, and then a pile of information about Linus tovaz was sent to Xiao Qi's room.
When you open it, Linus's current situation is really similar to what you imagined. After coming out of quanmeida company, their family moved to New York. Now they are helping a technology company with some system construction tasks. At the same time, they are also perfecting and developing his Linux system in their spare time.
Linus is not a person who loves money and doesn't like to enjoy it very much, so he lives in a very popular place. He just lives in an apartment next to a school. Some noisy environment is not suitable for programmers' work, but he also enjoys it. He smiles and takes his children out to play every day.
What he fears most in business is people who have no desire, but Linus is such a person, so he dares to scold Joe gang leader, Microsoft vice president, Nokia's president of America... As long as he feels that he is addicted to profit, he dares to scold.
However, due to his outstanding achievements, gang leader Joe and they will not care about him - anyone with extraordinary ability should be respected, which is the consensus of people engaged in technology( It's not finished yet.
