Chapter 206 New Problems with Foldable Screen Mobile Phones
The sudden squeaking sound made the researchers in the conference hall look over curiously.
After a while, a few people who were close to the sound seemed to be the first to notice what was going on. They all showed surprise on their faces, and then they took out their mobile phones and started checking.
Everyone was even more curious, and low-pitched inquiries buzzed through the conference hall.
About ten seconds later, the news spread, it was——
“Samsung Electronics’ stock price suddenly fell sharply!”
Stock price suddenly drops? !
As soon as the news came out, the discussion in the conference hall suddenly became much louder. The originally orderly and lively road show was suddenly interrupted. The researchers looked at the real-time stock price on their mobile phones and looked at Li Wenxuan on the stage with some concern.
Li Wenxuan also noticed the situation in the audience. The assistant on the side had quietly opened Samsung's stock price on his mobile phone. He glanced at it and his heart beat violently.
Although he is not a professional financial person, he can still understand the stock trends!
In just a few minutes, Samsung Electronics’ stock price plummeted by 5%! (Note: Samsung Group and Samsung Electronics are listed separately. Samsung Electronics has a foundry department, memory chips and OLED screens; Samsung Group has other Samsung businesses.)
To know,
Even Samsung Electronics, which was split and listed, is not a small business with billions or tens of billions. It is an industry giant with a market value of hundreds of billions. The daily fluctuation is only about 3%!
And now!
It plummeted 5% in just a few minutes? !
The increase brought about by the inclusion of "Yellow River Storage" in the "Entity List" in the past few days has almost been wiped out!
Li Wenxuan frowned. This kind of straight-line and rapid dive was not a normal transaction at first glance. It seemed that there was a large amount of money behind the crazy selling of Samsung stocks.
But who is this?
Li Wenxuan was thinking, and the researchers in the audience were also thinking.
Compared with Lee Moon-hyun, who only saw the decline in Samsung's stock price, professional investment researchers also discovered that not only Samsung Electronics' stock price has plummeted, but also SanDisk, Micron, Toshiba, Hynix and all "memory chip"-related American companies, South Korea Businesses are taking a dive!
This is obviously a sector linkage, a plunge in the entire "memory chip" sector!
"Is there any breaking news in the memory chip industry?!"
Thinking of this, the senior researchers present could no longer sit still. Next to Jack, the Goldman Sachs Capital researcher who had just asked the question, a young investment consultant with blond hair suddenly stood up and looked towards the stage.
"Mr. President, you have also seen that Samsung Electronics' stock price is plummeting rapidly."
"Excuse me, is there any breaking news, or is there any news that you are hiding from us?"
This is a bit rude to say.
Li Wenxuan's face darkened, but he quickly adjusted. He knew very well that he was now facing the top investment institution on Wall Street and could not afford to offend.
"I am not hiding any information. I can responsibly say that our business conditions are normal."
As he spoke, he paused and stared at the researcher who had just asked the question.
"As for why the stock price suddenly fell... I think there are so many investors around the world. It is entirely possible that some institution suddenly sold our 'Samsung Electronics' shares at this moment."
"They have the right not to be optimistic about the future of our 'Samsung Electronics' because they don't understand or know that we are about to launch 64-layer '3D-NAND' particles."
"do you think so?"
Hearing that the topic once again turned to Samsung's upcoming 64-layer "3D-NAND" particles, the impetuous mood in the conference hall could not help but ease a little.
really.
All said and done, currently only Samsung and Micron have mastered the world’s top 64-layer “3D-NAND” flash memory particle technology.
Once it is mass-produced, no one will be able to shake its industry status in a short period of time.
Not to mention being shaken, he couldn't even catch up.
"That's right."
When the blond-haired young man heard this, his momentum froze, and then he nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Li Wenxuan's profound gaze left him and turned to look at everyone.
He said in a deep voice:
"As the president of Samsung Electronics Yanguo, no one knows the inside information of the entire industry better than me. Our industry is currently very stable, and we at Samsung are still the best 'memory chip' company!"
"So... I still said what I just said, the current stock price of our 'Samsung Electronics' is undoubtedly an excellent 'gold pit' and the best buying opportunity!"
Perhaps Li Wenxuan's words really gave the market confidence. After a while, everyone found that the stock price that had just plunged had stopped, and then began to slowly rise.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall also relaxed, and various echoes began to appear.
"Indeed, it is also possible that some overseas capital is liquidating and selling. After all, they do not have road show resources like us."
"Yes, I have always been very optimistic about Samsung's future. Just like Mr. President said, it is rare to encounter some short-term negative news now, which is an excellent buying opportunity."
"Yes, I am fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful. Isn't now the time to be fearful?"
"..."
The sound of the discussion reached the stage, and a smile finally appeared on Li Wenxuan's face.
But at this moment, suddenly, the soft whine sounded again.
"Um?"
"Is there something new?!"
This time everyone gained experience and turned to look at the source of the sound. Li Wenxuan's heart tightened and his eyes followed suit.
But before anyone could ask, he suddenly caught an APP push message popping up on his phone from the corner of his eye.
[Latest news, Huanghe Memory suddenly announced a breakthrough in 64-layer ‘3D-NAND’ flash memory particle technology late at night, which is about to be mass-produced! 】
[At the same time, ‘Huanghe Storage’ announced that the new phase of ‘flash memory particle’ production line with an annual production capacity of 80 million units has been officially put into production, and ‘3D-NAND’ flash memory particles will be sold externally from now on! 】
What!
Li Wenxuan's heart was shocked and his head felt dizzy!
"What!"
"Yellow River Storage!"
"Floor 64!"
"'Yellow River Storage' has also broken through the 64-layer '3D-NAND' technology!"
"How could they be so fast!"
"and!"
“Expand production capacity again!”
"Where did they buy the equipment?"
In the violent shock, Li Wenxuan even appeared a little dazed.
After a while, the commotion from the Wall Street researchers in the audience was also heard. He sat there straight, looking at everyone, with only one thought in his mind.
"It's over, the plan for the 'Yellow River Storage' is over!"
“Samsung’s stock price is over!”
…
the other side.
Early the next morning, when the world was immersed in the idea that "Yellow River Storage" had once again broken its monopoly and ranked among the world's top "memory chip" industries, Mo Ran came to Nietzsche's "mobile phone business department."
After the early arrangements for Hao Technology, Nietzsche’s latest “folding screen mobile phone” has made some new progress.
Or,
While there have been some new developments, more problems have also emerged.
In the mobile phone business department office,
Mo Ran looked at the design manuscript in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
It's not that Mo Ran asked Nietzsche's "mobile phone business department" to design it himself. In fact, he also purchased this design plan from the system.
However, due to "timeline" reasons, those better-selling folding screen mobile phones in 2023 in my memory, such as Huaji's META X5 and Xiaomi's MIX FOLD, are not available for purchase.
Folding screen phones that only appeared in the previous generation in 2019, such as Samsung's Galaxy Fold, are not included in the system mall.
He thought for a while and found that the quality of the first batch of folding screen mobile phones in the world before time travel did not meet the system inclusion standards, so there were no relevant drawings.
This is not surprising.
Actually,
Whether it is Samsung or Huake, the first-generation folding screen mobile phones released in 2019 unexpectedly encountered huge Waterloo.
It’s not that there is a problem with their brand appeal, but that in 2019, all manufacturers were in a state of exploration for “folding screen” mobile phones, and folding screen mobile phones had unprecedented quality problems, or serious quality defects.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy Fold folding screen mobile phone sells for US$2,000 overseas, about 13,000 RMB. Just two days after it went on sale, there were many cases of screen cracking or even black screen damage.
Hua Ji has almost figured out the situation.
After a period of use, obvious creases will appear in the middle of the two curved screens of Meta X. After a period of time, irregular lines or leakage may even appear.
This is not surprising for "folding screen mobile phones" with relatively high technical content, but for consumers, it is obviously an unqualified product.
Therefore, what Mo Ran bought in the system this time was not a design solution from a mature manufacturer in the previous world, but a folding screen mobile phone solution called "V Series" from an unknown planet.
but.
Although it originated from an alien planet, the appearance of the design drawing of the folding screen mobile phone I purchased is not much different from the folding mobile phone in my memory.
While Mo Ran was thinking about it, Hao Keke on the side thoughtfully made a cup of Longjing and brought it over.
"Mr. Mo, please drink tea first."
Mo Ran took it and put it on the table, still looking at the design manuscript of the "V series folding screen mobile phone" in his hand, and said:
"After drinking tea for a while, let's talk about the latest progress."
Hao Technology also knew that Mo Ran attached great importance to the "folding screen mobile phone", so he did not dare to make any mistakes at the moment. He gently patted a young man next to him and said:
"Mr. Mo, this is Xiao Liu. Liu Ye is the team leader of the 'folding screen mobile phone' development team. He is here to report the situation to you."
Mo Ran glanced at Liu Ye, vaguely impressed, and then nodded.
Liu Ye was still a little nervous when facing Mo Ran, but he quickly took a deep breath to adjust and said:
"Mr. Mo, with the design plan you provided, we have basically finalized the appearance design and hardware configuration of the mobile phone."
"However, as the project progresses, some difficulties have arisen in other aspects, and this difficulty is not something we can easily solve."
With that said, Liu Ye carefully handed a compiled document to Mo Ran.
"The first is the issue of adaptability."
"Adaptability?"
While listening to Liu Ye's explanation, Mo Ran glanced at the information in his hand.
"Well, although our 'folding screen mobile phone' is also a mobile phone, its size when unfolded is obviously much larger than an ordinary mobile phone, but compared to the 'tablet PAD', it is much smaller."
"Therefore, when using various software on a 'folding screen phone', you will first face display compatibility issues, such as incomplete display, disordered UI overlapping, black borders, abnormal layout, etc."
"At present, we have tried various methods, but we have not found a perfect solution to the compatibility problem."
Mo Ran reacted immediately.
Whether it is software on mobile phones or software on PADs, they are all software developed by various software companies based on mobile phones or Pads. Naturally, their resolutions can perfectly fit the screens of mobile phones or PADs.
Folding screen phones are a bit embarrassing.
The screen is larger than an ordinary mobile phone, but smaller than a PAD, and the size is somewhere in between.
"And, most importantly, you should also know that according to ergonomic research, the field of view of two human eyes is a rectangle with a length-to-width ratio of 16:9."
"So, whether it is a mobile phone, a tablet, a monitor, or a TV, all products are designed according to this golden ratio. However, when the 'folding screen phone' is unfolded, it is square, and the proportions cannot be coordinated at all."
“The only solution is to re-adapt all software specifically for ‘folding screen phones’.”
After the words fell, Mo Ran couldn't help but pout.
All adapted?
The amount of this project is not generally large.
Under normal circumstances, it would be nice to be able to adapt ordinary, daily-used software.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly without expressing his opinion, and then focused on the second question.
"Liu Ye, please continue with your second question."
"good."
Liu Ye paused for a moment and then said:
"Mr. Mo, the second problem is the battery problem."
"You can imagine that a 'folding screen phone' has one more screen than an ordinary phone, and this means that the same battery has to support two screens, and the battery life is almost half."
"The current ordinary mobile phones can be charged once a day. If it is a 'folding screen mobile phone', we calculate that it will take almost 5-7 hours to charge once during normal use."
“I think many customers cannot accept this battery life.”
"So, when it comes to batteries, we also have to find ways to increase capacity and battery life."
Mo Ran frowned slightly, and he really began to realize that developing a "folding screen mobile phone" seemed to be quite difficult.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Liu Ye and said seriously:
"anything else?"
"Then there's the screen and the hinge."
"Let's talk about the screen first."
