Optoelectronics research, meeting room.
"Teacher Liu, that's it? According to this plan, when will the raw materials be available to us?"
"I have to go back and check. I'll give you an answer later."
These days, Cheng Yongxing had meetings with different people every day, and he was dizzy.

The fixture design at the manual stage is still very smooth.Within a few days, the design drawings were completed.With the smooth progress of the fixture production line 1.0 plan, the start of this LED manual production line is getting closer.
Although this production line is still experimental in nature, Cheng Yongxing is also prepared to treat it as a practical exercise.
After all, the LED lamp beads needed for a large screen are in millions.Taking into account the yield in the actual production process, this number must be multiplied by four to be safe.
There are two factors in this, the first is the yield.
Not every LED lamp bead is a qualified product.Considering that this is the first trial production, a yield rate of 30% to 50% is considered an acceptable level.
In addition, semi-manually processed LEDs will also have the problem of batch brightness fluctuations, which will also lead to the production of waste.And this kind of waste, one waste is one batch.
Therefore, for this large TV-level low-resolution LED advertising screen, the LED lamp beads required have reached the horror level of tens of millions.
The cost of every penny, magnified by this number, is a huge burden.
This large screen with low resolution and low brightness in later generations looks extremely simple. Regardless of the R&D cost, it is only the production cost. If 2 million yuan can be blocked, it will be thankful!
This is the essential difference between large-scale industrial production and manual production.The cost and quality of large-scale industrial production have formed a rolling advantage over manual production.

This large-screen sample, plus the development of various fixtures, the development of core equipment, and the development cost of core circuits, the total cost has approached the 4 million mark.Spending money is like running water, and the cost of starting from scratch is huge.
With such a large cost, Cheng Yongxing also hopes to make more noises.
Since the sample development this time, it is completely at no cost.So this opportunity may not be a rare opportunity for the upstream industry chain.
So these days, Cheng Yongxing has been running two departments related to materials in the University of Technology, the Materials Research Institute and the Materials Department of the Aviation Institute.
I hope to use this order and future market expectations to nurture several upstream suppliers.
The preliminary plan, the most important sapphire substrate, will be provided by the Materials Research Institute of Aviation Academy.The chemicals, medicaments, and various reactive gases are left to the materials department.
Due to the presence of two downstream LED manufacturers and several partners at the same time, the enthusiasm for this project is relatively high.A small supply chain system has slowly taken shape.
Perhaps this is the first time for everyone. The cost of obtaining these raw materials is more expensive than imported raw materials.But I believe that with the passage of time, slowly, the cost and price advantages of domestic raw materials will become apparent.
In addition to future cost expectations, outsourcing will actually face the problem of industrial chain security.
The price of important basic raw materials such as sapphire is expected to have an explosive growth driven by the explosive demand for blue LEDs.When the time comes, it will be no joke to be caught by the supplier and collect IQ tax.
In history, the phenomenon that flour is more expensive than bread has not happened.This phenomenon is not only happening in the LED market, it is more famous in the photovoltaic industry.In the hottest years of the photovoltaic industry, the most profitable was not photovoltaic manufacturers, but polysilicon suppliers.
In addition to price increases, the more important thing is to stop supply!The next few years will also be turbulent years. Who knows what will happen?With the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the embargo, which has almost existed in name, has revived and is tightening step by step.
In the next few years, the external environment of the mainland was actually in a process of deterioration year by year.93 Yinhe, 96 Taiwan Sea, 99 Embassy, 01 Nanhai, etc., are the final results of this environmental deterioration.

"Xiaocheng! Xiao Liu, you are here too! Come on, Xiaocheng, I want to talk to you."
Following the voice, Principal Lin walked in.The photoelectric office is almost in an undefended state.Teachers and students in the school can come in almost anytime.
"Principal Lin, you are busy. I'm finished talking here, and I'm leaving."
Lecturer Liu Hongtao rolled up the materials spread on the table and gave up the meeting room.
"Principal Lin, have something to do with me?"
Stretching his waist gently, Cheng Yongxing also took the opportunity to relax.It is tiring to keep talking with people.
————————
"Yes, there is something, I want to ask for your advice."
Lin Shuqiang came here today because the school is planning to establish a high-tech industrial park.
Recently, under the cover of the LED boom, a number of scientific and technological achievements that are expected to be industrialized have blossomed, and many people have used their brains.
Bingcheng at this point in time is not synonymous with rigid thinking.Because of the Sino-Soviet trade, Bingcheng's commercial atmosphere is quite strong, and its commercial thinking is also quite active.There is not much resistance to going into the sea as a business.
In this era, Bingcheng called itself Little Paris, which is not without reason.
In addition, the amount of pulling power of the LED itself cannot be underestimated.The school has received a lot of applications for projects directly related to LED.
For example, the simple tooling equipment project reported by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the sapphire project and the laser project reported by the Aeronautical Institute, plus the materials and electronics departments, a total of more than a dozen projects will soon become a reality.Coupled with the two leading enterprises of Optoelectronics Research and Philip LED, the time for the establishment of the high-tech park is ripe.

Hearing this information, Cheng Yongxing actually felt a sense of time and space crossing.
Under his interference, many things in this world have undergone tremendous changes.
But the inertia of history is huge.Some things, not only did not disappear, but appeared early.
Cheng Yongxing still has some memories of this park.
This "High-tech Industrial Park" should only appear after a year in the original history.In 1992, the University of Science and Technology announced the slogan "One school runs a district, one district makes up schools" to set up an industrial park.
In response to the call of the school, various departments have established companies.And many companies, many are the products of everyone's brains.Many things are designed and produced without a market.
The counselor Zhou Hang also approached Cheng Yongxing, who had already entered his senior year, and asked about his family background.I hope this group of students can promote some unsalable products in the major.
I don't know the final result of the company that Teacher Zhou participated in.
————————
The "High-tech Industrial Park" of the National University of Technology has set a precedent for a generation in terms of ideas and modes of operation throughout the country. It is a relatively well-formed university science park nationwide.
Its appearance also refutes some prejudices of later generations, such as rigid thinking and poor investment environment.
In terms of the entrepreneurial environment alone, starting a business on the campus of the University of Technology after 1992, regardless of market factors, the microclimate is not even worse than that of Zhongguancun.If the time node of LED technology is not here, time is not waiting, Cheng Yongxing should wait two years before starting a business.
It is a pity that, due to the restrictions of Bingcheng and the markets of the three eastern provinces, even companies that have grown up from the park have to follow the footsteps of the market and leave the South.
The development of this park has never been compared with some universities in the south, and no one mentions it in the end.
Winner and loser!
