Chinese time, on the evening of July 30th.

Google officially announced that it will also acquire LG mobile phone division, HTC, Nokia mobile phone division, and Finland HMD.

This news was like dropping a bombshell around the world, quickly occupying headlines from major media.

For three months, the mobile phone war, which has been filled with gunpowder, has finally ushered in the final madness.

At this point, the Warring States Period, where heroes were divided, has completely ended. Apart from China, there are only three major players, Samsung, Apple and Google.

Others such as LG, Nokia, HTC, and Alcatel have all become yesterday's yellow flowers, completely disappearing from the stage of the mobile phone industry history.

In China, the four giants have crazily acquired other small and medium-sized manufacturers, and the world's top seven has officially formed.

Except for Transsion, which is mixed in Africa, they are an exception to this brutal war.

Even Nokia and LG gave up treatment, they were still alive and were quite moist in Africa...

Just one day passed, Luo Jia suddenly received a call from Huawei Mr. Ren.

"Do you know what day tomorrow is?" Mr. Ren asked.

Luo Jia smiled, "Of course, tomorrow is the day when your new mobile phone will be launched. I saw posters from major specialty stores have been posted, and people on the Internet are talking about it. How can I get the goods as soon as possible?"

Mr. Ren laughed heartily, "To be precise, it is our new mobile phone. Without your energy wave wireless charging module, without your front and rear cameras, and without your mobile phone assistant, there will be no epoch-making new products. Let me say, the biggest contribution this time is Xingchen Technology."

"I won't say much politely. I'm in Kunshan. Do you have time to come?"

"What? Mr. Ren wants to treat me to a meal?"

"There is a meal to eat, but there are some other things that you will know naturally when you come."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Jia got on his Tesla and headed straight for Kunshan.

Others can be given face, but Mr. Ren himself should respect it.

Along the way, Luo Jia looked out and saw the vehicles driving on the road.

Recently, he has become less and less fond of his car, and his battery life is too poor.

He said he could run 400 kilometers, but Luo Jia drove hard. In addition, when the air conditioner was hot, he could run less than 300 kilometers even if he could die.

He thought about changing to a traditional gasoline car, at least he didn't have to worry about the battery life.

......

A large LCD display factory outside Kunshan.

General Ren’s secretary waited for Luo Jia outside the factory and took him directly into the workshop.

Mr. Ren and several assistants checked around the production line. The equipment was almost brand new. Luo Jia had heard of this factory in his memory. Jing Hong showed that a not-famous display manufacturer in China seemed to be in Dongguan, and Huawei had just moved its headquarters there recently.

"This is the 8:5th generation line just built last year. Although it is impossible to compare with BOE's 10:5th generation line, it has invested a lot of money, about 10 billion yuan." Mr. Ren pointed to the production line and said.

Luo Jia frowned, "Why tell me this?"

Mr. Ren asked back: "I heard that you have encountered financial troubles recently?"

Luo Jia nodded, "Yes, we want to enter the display industry, but purchasing production lines and equipment exceeds the company's current financial resources and are applying for a loan from the bank."

Mr. Ren waved his hand, "No need to look for a bank. This 8.5-generation line is looking for sale, with an 80% discount, how about selling it to you for 8 billion?"

Luo Jia smiled bitterly, "I can't afford eight billion, and in the end I have to find financing."

Mr. Ren smiled, "Three-year interest-free loan, each of us, each of us, will lend you 2 billion. Even if you give me your favor, if you want, ask the finance and legal affairs to sign the contract immediately."

Luo Jia was surprised. He began to carefully observe the 8:5th generation production line. The equipment was almost brand new. A total of sixteen units were installed for the Nikon FX85 type exposure machine alone.

You should know that the unit price of this exposure machine imported from Neon is more than 200 million yuan, and the exposure equipment on this production line alone has reached an astonishing 3.2 billion yuan.

With 8 billion yuan, Luo Jia obviously took advantage of it!

Moreover, in addition to the production line, there are also skilled workers.

If you open a new factory by yourself, training for workers and engineers alone will be a headache for Luo Jia.

"I'm sorry, right? Is it so cheap to buy a factory with your money," said Luo Jia.

Mr. Ren shook his head, "Nothing is embarrassing. You are our most important supplier, and you are our favorite type. You only provide products and have no competitive relationship with us."

"Unlike Samsung, on the one hand, it sells us screens and flash memory, and on the other hand, it's hard to trade with us in the mobile phone market."

"We always have to keep a hand in cooperation with Samsung. As for you, you deserve our absolute trust!"

Ren finally told the truth.

Luo Jia's Star Technology is an invisible giant, a pure supplier, only making products, not markets, and has no commercial disputes with the four giants. Some of them are all good and care for each other.

Luo Jia's top-level design has begun to show effect. The four giants' trust in Star Technology is definitely not comparable to Samsung.

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything anymore. I hope we will continue to cooperate sincerely in the future."

Luo Jia stretched out his right hand and held it with Mr. Ren, and then notified the company's finance and legal affairs to come and handle the handover.

"Why don't you do OLED?" Before leaving, Mr. Ren also asked the same question as An Ran.

"Apart from the high cost, we really can't make the evaporation machine thing." Luo Jia told the truth to Mr. Ren.

The relocation of extra-star civilization to Luo Jia's brain is a long process, and the knowledge that has entered his mind is very basic.

Luo Jia thought hard for a long time and could not find a solution to the evaporation machine problem. Coupled with cost and market considerations, he finally decided to take the already mature LCD route.

......

The production line matters have settled, and the scale of Xingchen Technology has exceeded one thousand people for the first time.

The newly opened display business unit is the largest number of employees in the company's history, and the software center under the charge of Li Moran is also quietly recruiting troops.

Luo Jia became busier than rabbit again. He wandered among various project teams, constantly reminding and guiding them, researching and improving directions, leading the entire company, and on the two paths of display and operating systems, he was getting faster and faster.

On August 1st, the war will burn all over the world again!

The press conference on July 16 is just a preheating of new products.

After half a month of intense preparation, Samsung and Apple's 4,000-screen folding phones, and the four giants' full-screen wireless charging phones have finally begun to distribute a large number of products around the world, bringing new products to the market wildly, and fighting to the death.

With the fact that major players around the world are overwhelmed and forced to withdraw from the battlefield, the seven giants who are still alive are completely desperate and pushing this full-scale war that has lasted for a full three months to the final climax.

In August, something interesting happened.

The Indian authorities have filed serious protests to our country, protesting against the Big Four and other domestic companies. In the past two months, almost all factories located in India have been closed down and withdrawn from the country.

The mobile phone manufacturing industry, which had just emerged, was directly cut off, which made the Indian authorities extremely angry.

A few years ago, India relied on gangster tariffs to force the four giants to set up factories in India.

If you produce mobile phones in India, you only need to pay a small amount of taxes. If you import mobile phones, customs will make things difficult for you, and the tariffs will be even higher.

As a result, the four giants were forced to set up factories in India and endure the bad environment, backward infrastructure, and ignorant and scattered employee qualities.

However, the situation is different now. The key parts of Star Technology are not exported and are only sold in the country.

The four giants' factories in India cannot buy under-screen cameras and wireless charging modules no matter how much they spend.

What else can I do?

As a result, the four giants directly withdrew large-scale investment from India and returned to China to open new factories, leaving India with a mess.

As for the high tariffs, then it's high.

China sells mobile phones for 2,000 yuan, India sells 3,000 yuan, and 3,000 yuan.

There is no way, India itself wants to collect tariffs. If consumers think it is expensive, they can scold your own government.

For a time, the Indian authorities were not human inside and outside.

Big money owners like the Big Four ran away, and large numbers of employees were unemployed, and they took to the streets to protest. Domestic consumers criticized the excessive tariffs and the authorities for being incompetent.

Smart businessmen began to smuggle large numbers of mobile phones from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal next door to India.

For a time, major checkpoints in India were crowded with people. They used trucks and manpower to transport domestic mobile phones into India.
