Global monopoly of technology

(Four days a day at the end of the month, ask for votes in the front row~~(*^▽^*))

——

After three days, Luo Sheng arranged the work related to the two companies before setting out to go abroad. This time, the first stop of the business trip was New York, North America.

Arrived in New York and rested for a night in a hotel, turning the jet lag around.

Early this morning, Luo Sheng went to bed until he woke up naturally. After coming out of the guest room, breakfast was prepared and a newspaper was put in at the same time.

"Please come in."

When he heard the knock on the door, Luo Sheng, who was enjoying breakfast, stared at the content of the newspaper and responded, and it was Qin Weimu who walked in.

"People have already made an appointment for you. I will meet Corning CEO Wendell Wicks in the morning and go directly to their company. Tomorrow afternoon I will meet with Take-Two founder Leon Blunt. Four days later I will meet with Valve. The founder Gabe Logan Newell met." Qin Weimu said, these are all arranged by Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng nodded, took a glance at her and said, "Tough hard, haven't you had breakfast? Huh...?"

After speaking, he gave her a look. Qin Weimu did not eat breakfast, but he did not refuse. He sat down at the table generously and enjoyed the breakfast.

Luo Sheng admired her and suddenly said solemnly: "To be honest, Arsenal also want to score a goal, thinking about it, okay, let's not talk about the shooting problem, I can think about it, but anyway. See what the restricted world is like, right?"

Qin Weimu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly glared at him pretentiously and pretentiously: "Don't be a hooligan in front of me."

Luo Sheng said helplessly: "What I can't get is really like a cat scratching it. When will you torture me? It's too difficult for me..."

Qin Weimu couldn't help laughing and holding back. If nothing happened, he said, "You stinky men are too easy to get and you won't cherish them. I just want you to understand that not all women can be broken with money and material. "

Luo Sheng suddenly rolled his eyes and glanced at her mockingly: "Cut~~, standing and talking can’t hurt her back. She is already a rich woman worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Of course, you can say that. Your equity makes you cry."

Qin Weimu looked at him with a smile and said, "Then you can fire me?"

Luo Sheng stared at her pretendingly and looked at her with an incredible face. Qin Weimu saw his expression inexplicably. Luo Sheng immediately said: "Uh~~ Really? Is this good? I've seen him for the first time. The woman who asks for it... but this kind of thing doesn't need to be said... shouldn't it be a little reserved? I didn't expect you to..."

Qin Weimu:???

After reacting, Qin Weimu immediately interrupted him with shame and angrily reprimanded: "Shut up, go away--"

Luo Sheng grinned and quickly confessed his mistake: "It's not me...I'm not sure about my fault. I won't tell you anymore. I won't say this. Ah, I will ask you to eat goose another day. It is super delicious.

Qin Weimu wasn't really angry with him, but he had to express his emotions, otherwise, with this guy's cheeky skin, he would definitely get an inch, maybe the penalty area would fall.

goose?

Qin Weimu felt suspicious and didn't want to understand.

...

After the early morning, Luo Sheng went to Corning's headquarters as scheduled and met with Wicks at about ten in the morning.

"I was really surprised to hear that you wanted to meet me. I still don't understand why'Son of the Internet' would look for the CEO of a glass manufacturer for an interview." In Corning's reception room, the company's head Wendell Wei X quipped.

At the moment both were seated, Luo Sheng brought Qin Weimu as his accompanying assistant.

"Mr. Wicks, you may not know that besides Bluestar Technology, I also founded another company."

"No, I know, Blue Coast Company." Wesker corrected.

Hearing this, Luo Sheng shrugged and spread his hands with a smile, "Uh...well, in fact, during this period of time, I was inquiring about manufacturers that can produce the hardest glass, so Corning came into my sight."

Wicks flaunted his legs and said: "Haha, Mr. Luo, if you want to buy glass, then find the right person. I am an expert in glass. But what I want to know is, what do you want glass for? ?"

Luo Shengyan said concisely: "Smartphone screen glass."

There is nothing to conceal. A screen glass material does not show any clues. The purpose of Luo Sheng's trip is to hope that Corning can supply screen glass materials to the Blue Coast. How to do it. The company has its own assembly line and related supporting equipment. .

It turns out that Wicks, who learned the reason, was not too surprised. When Luo Sheng came to meet him, he also learned about it. Knowing that Blue Coast also cooperates with Qualcomm, it is not surprising to make mobile phone screens.

Knowing that the customer came to talk about business in person, Wicks couldn’t help but take a lot of heart. He immediately introduced Corning’s many products and R&D capabilities to Luo Sheng, showing off the development of "King Kong Glass" for the American fighter cockpit in the 1960s. "s story.

Just after finishing the story, Luo Sheng clapped his legs and said: "Nice, this so-called'diamond glass' is the kind I want, Mr. Wicks, will your company produce this kind of glass for us? There is a requirement that the thickness of a piece can only be 1.3 mm. Our order is very large. The first order is no less than a million mobile phones. There may be more in the future. We can establish long-term strategic cooperation."

Is the first one million?

Will be more later?

Now it's Wicks' turn to be dumbfounded, so confident that the product can sell so well?

Okay, let him go, Wicks regained his senses and suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Luo, we can't produce this kind of glass."

Facing the cold water, Luo Sheng was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Why is this?"

Wicks replied frankly: "After this kind of glass was developed at that time, the market demand was too small. The company stopped production in 1971 and has not produced it for decades."

When Luo Sheng heard this, he smiled easily: "I thought it was a big thing, it's nothing, it's just a small problem, just restart the production line."

Wicks was speechless when he heard it. No one knew his factory better than him. The problem in it could not be overcome by a "small problem" or "restart".

Then Luo Sheng put forward a big problem for him: "Mr. Wicks, we hope that your company can produce 2 million pieces or more of diamond glass within one year."

Wicks said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo. Although I am very excited about this business, I don't have the ability now. Our factory now produces LCD monitors and does not produce diamond glass. It is difficult to restart the production line."

Luo Sheng stared at him and said, "It's not difficult at all. You can definitely do it. Use your brain and think of a way. You are experts in the glass field. Not only did I bring a substantial order, It also brings a historical opportunity for your company."

Story King is online again.

"Imagine how many mobile phone brands are currently in the world? Don’t you want to be the standard equipment for mobile phone glass covers? OK, just think again, when almost all mainstream mobile phone manufacturers are happy to use Corning’s diamond glass panels, then again What will it be like?"

"We will be better. All of us are very enthusiastic about our products. You can produce glass that has never been made before. I believe it! I believe it!"

At this moment, Luo Sheng once again displayed his skillful talents, boasting the other party to the sky, saying that the other party is an expert, others can't do it, but Corning produced more than 2 million pieces in one year. This kind of glass is as easy as turning the palm of your hand, so clouded, it can be called the sky falling in disorder.

Luo Sheng frantically instilled Ecstasy Soup on Wendell Wicks, and finally he offered a killer.

"OK, since your company has not produced this kind of glass, I will invest 80 million US dollars to support your company's project restart, research and development, equipment introduction and advanced glass manufacturing for diamond glass. And I immediately signed a contract for 2 million pieces. The company pays in advance, and includes the follow-up long-term strategic cooperation, more than 40 million pieces of contract, if the Blue Coast defaults, it will pay Corning up to 50 million US dollars in liquidated damages."

Two million pieces, the contract is at least 10 million U.S. dollars, and the 40 million piece contract is not less than 200 million U.S. dollars.

Luo Sheng let out these words, and Wicks' small universe broke out on the spot.

"Mr. Luo, are you sure it's true?"

Luo Sheng said affirmatively: "Of course, is it possible that I was joking with you when I crossed most of the earth?"

The energetic Wicks made a decision on the spot: "I have decided that we will put the best scientists and engineers into this project cooperation."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "It should be so."

On the same day, the two parties reached an agreement and quickly reached a consensus on cooperation, but the formal signing of the contract will take some time.

Because this involves investment, Corning is a North American high-tech company. The company's business has five major sectors, followed by display technology, optical communications, specialty materials, environmental sciences and life sciences.

King Kong Glass is only a sub-product under the specialty materials sector, and display glass is Corning’s highest revenue and most profitable business sector and its products.

This company almost went bankrupt in 2003, but by this year the market value has rushed to more than 30 billion US dollars.
