    At 8 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Qi appeared on the third floor of the Fairy Canteen on time.  Yang Na is still sleeping now. According to normal circumstances, she will not get up until at least around nine in the morning, and then wash up, eat and go for a walk.  The environment of Green Town is definitely not as good as Yulu Garden, but it is next to Sichuan University. She simply went for a walk on the tree-lined avenue of Sichuan University. Although the female bodyguards and Japanese aunts were behind, such beautiful girls often appeared on campus.  Here, it still makes many boys ready to make a move.  Yang Na is sharper than Huo Zhuzhu. When she meets a boy who stalks her, she will scold him mercilessly. So just one month after moving here, she already has an "icy beauty"  title.  By about September, Yang Na will return to her villa. The villa community there is at least much more spacious and comfortable, and the community environment is cleaner.  She will live with her parents until she gives birth to a baby, and then she will move to her new home in the fourth phase of Yulu Garden.  By then, it had been left open for 8 months. Not only did the villa itself have no smell, but the entire Yulu Garden no longer smelled like decoration. Yulu Garden was decorated uniformly, not like other villa communities. The time of moving in was different, and the decoration was different.  The time is different, some will be renovated within two or three years.  Japanese aunts are very dedicated. Although they are used to getting up at five o'clock every morning to do things, the hostess doesn't get up to eat, and they don't know how to eat.  Because of this, classmate Yang Xiaona, who was too lazy to get up until ten o'clock during this period, had to get up at nine o'clock. Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing to see the Japanese aunts who kept their homes spotless but were hungry.  of.  Because of this, when Xiao Qi got up.  I didn¡¯t ask the Japanese aunts to prepare food. Anyway, the Fairy Canteen provides meals 24 hours a day, so just go to the company to eat.  With the increase of Fairy Company¡¯s business.  There are more and more employees in Fairy Company, and more and more middle- and high-level people can enter the third floor to eat.  Of course, it doesn¡¯t mean that others can¡¯t come to the third floor.  It's just that everyone's positions are not equal, so it's inevitable to feel uncomfortable sitting next to a group of senior executives, so it's better to eat downstairs or in another canteen dedicated to workers.  What Xiao Qi wanted was simple porridge, steamed buns and eggs. After eating, he carried a bag to the Fairy Laboratory Building.  When Xiao Qi entered the first floor of the building, he smelled the smell of instant noodles. Then there were at least a dozen engineers sitting together in twos and threes, laughing and eating instant noodles while chatting.  Regarding the topic of eating instant noodles, Fairy Company¡¯s General Affairs Department and Logistics Department.  I have told Sun Manxue, the vice president in charge of Fairy Laboratory, many times.  Although Mingming Fairy Canteen has all kinds of delicacies, why do the engineers here still like instant noodles the most?  Except for the laboratory area, they can eat instant noodles no matter where they are. The average daily consumption of instant noodles is more than 10,000 packs. Some foreign engineers are so motivated that they will eat 5 packs at a time when working overtime.  Their wives often protested when they got home.  This not only left the smell of instant noodles everywhere, but also made the chefs at Fairy Canteen feel a little frustrated. They felt that their superb cooking skills were lost to instant noodles, which was really a bit embarrassing.  But Sun Manxue said.  This is a kind of enjoyment for science engineers. They enjoy the feeling of having hot food at any time. This feeling has nothing to do with gourmet food.  But it has become a habit in their lives.  There was no other way. In the end, we had to let all the engineers vote. As a result, more than 90% of the engineers refused to give up their right to eat instant noodles in the non-test area of ??the Fairy Laboratory, so they could only vote at will.  It's up to them.  Sun Manxue was already waiting for Xiao Qi downstairs. He accompanied him to a laboratory of hundreds of square meters on the third floor, where two engineers were already waiting inside.  Naturally, it could not be the entire engineering team that came to see Xiao Qi, so two directors and deputy directors came to explain in detail. One was Zheng Pingfei, who was poached from Zeiss in Germany, and the other was Han, who was trained by Fairy Company itself.  morning.  Han Chen has been in the United States before.  I just came back yesterday, and I came back with him.  This time Xiao Qi came to see the protagonist.  What was placed in front of Xiao Qi was a model of a mobile phone.  It¡¯s not entirely correct to say it¡¯s a model.  Because it is fully usable, but there are still some functions under testing. If it is put on the market, it can only be used as an upgraded version of Dreamsta2, which will not reach the level of Dreamsta3.  "Yesterday, Xiao Han brought 12 screen samples back from the United States. We assembled them and tried them out. We found that the screens basically meet the requirements. Both hardness and flexibility are very good! They can withstand normal impacts, such as  It was when it fell to the ground, the mobile phone screen will not be broken.  "Zheng Pingfei said with a smile, "It's really not in vain that we spent a total of 170 million US dollars in research and development expenses!  " "But because of this, our costs are also high.  "Han Chen continued, "The tempered glass we use from Corning Oriental Company is currently 2.5 US dollars per piece, but if it is replaced with this sapphire tempered glass, the cost will suddenly jump to at least 10 US dollars per piece. Although the overall cost is lower.  The impact is not big, but overall, the three times the cost of a single component is still not cost-effective.  "Xiao Qi smiled and nodded. "Compared to the gross profit of a Dreamsta, which is close to 400 US dollars, an increase of 7.5 US dollars is nothing. But from the perspective of technical research and development personnel, they are constantly designing cheaper and more usable parts.  This is the goal they have been striving for, rather than blindly using high-priced parts to improve mobile phones. But for Xiao Qi, it is definitely necessary to replace Corning¡¯s tempered glass with sapphire tempered glass.  Corning's Gorilla Glass, this kind of tempered glass used on helicopters, is not bad in terms of hardness, but it is based on a large piece of tempered glass right in front of the helicopter. Because the mobile phone screen is very small,  That¡¯s three to five inches, so it¡¯s still lacking in impact resistance. This is why even in 2013, the screens of both Apple and Samsung mobile phones often break. But now Xiao Qi.  The sapphire glass in my hand is different. It was used on the highest-end brand Vertu. After so many years of use, it has been proven that it can¡¯t be broken. Of course, the cost and selling price of Vertu are also different.  If one is an ordinary thing, that¡¯s why they can use sapphire glass. Xiao Qi has been thinking about constantly making his mobile phone better than other mobile phones. On the one hand, he works hard on the software and internal configuration, and on the other hand, it is natural.  That is the use of hardware. This sapphire glass is one of them. As early as 2008, after Dreamsta was launched, Xiao Qi began to look for sapphire glass manufacturers. He remembered that there were not many manufacturers that could produce sapphire glass.  There are two, one in France and one in Germany. For the sake of convenience, Xiao Qi found an American company called Kohler Optics. Although they also have technology patents for sapphire glass, due to cost reasons, sapphire glass is not commercialized on a large scale.  It is still lagging behind in terms of use, so basically they have not done much production, let alone research and development. There is no other way. Xiao Qi can only cooperate with them and invest his own money to conduct research on the use of sapphire glass in mobile phones.  A total of 12 technicians were sent there, and another 170 million US dollars was invested. Only two years later did the finished product come out. Because Fairy Company invested a huge amount of research and development expenses, the technology patent for this sapphire glass now exists.  70% belong to Fairy Company, and only 30% of the patents belong to Kohler Optical Company. But Kohler Optical Company is already very satisfied. If they had not signed a contract with Fairy Company from the beginning, they would have it now.  This piece of sapphire glass was sold to major mobile phone manufacturers. Kohler Optical Company did not suffer any loss. Once it can pass the test of Fairy Laboratory and can be mass-produced, Fairy Company will jointly establish a production factory with Kohler Optical Company.  , located in Vietnam, specializes in the production of sapphire tempered glass used by Dreamsta, and then shares it according to the proportion of technology patents and shares held.  ??And Fairy Company also promised them that after two years, they can take orders from other companies, provided that someone is willing to pay such a high cost to order.  But even if there are no orders from other companies, thinking about the 13 million units of Dreamsta sold by Fairy Company every month, Kohler Optical feels at ease and has a very positive attitude.  As for why Xiao Qi did not acquire Kohler Optics, the reason is actually very simple, because Fairy Company has basically mastered this technology.  The 12 scientific researchers sent one after another were originally elites from the optical glass profession. After several years of hard study and research and development, they have fully understood the patented technology of sapphire glass.  ¡°When they come back, with the support of the excellent conditions of the Fairy Laboratory, and another year or two of research, they can come up with a new generation of sapphire glass, and then they can produce it themselves, so why bother to annex an American company?  ¡° Moreover, Kohler Optical¡¯s business is very large, and its debts exceed 300 million US dollars. Most of them cannot be used by Fairy Company, and they are not specialized at all.  There is a difference between buying a company and starting one yourself.  (To be continued.)
