Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Imagining the Future Landscape of the Mobile Phone Industry!

”New type of smartphone? What does Mr. Island Master mean by that?”

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Yu Chengdong secretly rubbed his hands together and said with a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

The other bigwigs also couldn’t help but perk up their ears, obviously very eager to hear the answer Jiang Cheng was about to give.

Seeing the eyes of the bigwigs all focused on him, Jiang Cheng smiled faintly and said, ”We have recently developed a new type of flexible LCD display, and we plan to advance smartphones into a new generation, which is the flexible era!”

”The flexible era?”

As soon as they heard Jiang Cheng’s words, the four bigwigs were immediately shaken.

It was at this moment that they realized that Isle Master Jiang wasn’t just thinking about replacing smartphone screens with flexible ones, but was aiming to overthrow the entire smartphone manufacturing supply chain!

This is definitely earth-shattering news for the world!

Because if everything goes as Jiang Cheng envisioned, it would be nothing short of disastrous for some of the world’s major smartphone manufacturers.

All the previous production lines would have to be replaced.

Because producing this new generation of phones requires a comprehensive transformation of the materials industry, chip industry, manufacturing industry, packaging industry, and semiconductor industry!

On the surface, it indeed pushes the progress of the world’s tech industry, but for some current vested interests, especially the top smartphone manufacturers, this is undoubtedly destruction!

In this regard, the Samsung Empire would definitely suffer the most damage.

Because Samsung Company is a full-cycle manufacturing company, it is so huge that it encompasses almost every aspect of phone manufacturing.

The bad impact it brings is that it severely lacks flexibility in the face of sudden technological innovation and change!

Therefore, the official arrival of the flexible era almost marks the day of Samsung Electronics’ demise!

Too cruel!

In an instant, the bigwigs felt a slight sense of sympathy for Samsung Electronics’ future, but more than that, they felt deep gratitude for being invited to collaborate with Jade Island.

If they hadn’t been part of today’s meeting, the consequences would definitely be severe!

”Ahem, when does Isle Master Jiang plan to start producing the flexible LCD displays?”

Calming the fluctuating emotions in his heart, Lei Jun glanced at Jiang Cheng and cautiously asked.

This was a question that Lei Jun cared deeply about.

Because it directly determines the attitude and manner in which he should make this major decision!

The other bigwigs also slowly returned to their senses and listened attentively.

”The first batch of products will be available in as soon as three months, and as for the flexible phone samples, I’ll produce them within this year.” After thinking for a moment in response to Lei Jun’s question, Jiang Cheng said.

The innovation and replacement of this type of mobile product must be swift, otherwise, if other manufacturers start to imitate, it will not achieve the effect of disrupting the industry structure.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng had secretly instructed those semiconductor and optoelectronics experts he had gathered to thoroughly understand the high-tech factory he opened to them and expand production in the shortest possible time.

And it was clear that these bigwigs also understood this; they all knew that to profit the most in the smartphone industry and to dominate the market structure, they must hatch the technology into products as quickly as possible, otherwise, even if they hold the advantage, they will end up making clothes for others.

However, it was clear that Jiang Cheng’s answer greatly satisfied them, even bringing tremendous surprise.

”Jade Island truly is the leader of the world’s tech industry with astonishing production efficiency. I fully support this cooperation with Jade Island.” Yu Chengdong was the first to express his intention, even somewhat eager.

”I agree!”

”Agree!”

”Agree!”

Immediately, the other three bigwigs also expressed their stance.

”Very well, since all of you agree, we can now discuss the ways of cooperation.”

Seeing the heads of the smartphone manufacturers expressing their intention in unison, Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and said meaningfully.

”Ways of cooperation? What does Mr. Island Master mean?” Yu Chengdong was slightly taken aback and then asked, a bit confused.

”Once the new generation of flexible technology is successfully commercialized, Jade Island is willing to invest in the new generation of flexible phone companies you will set up by means of technology equity.” Seeing their puzzled expressions, Jiang Cheng gave a brief explanation.

”Technology equity?”

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the bigwigs felt a tremor in their hearts, and their facial expressions became somewhat unnatural.

As business elites, they instantly understood Jiang Cheng’s intention!

The intention was not just to defeat giants like Samsung and Apple but to meddle in their companies!

This was clearly aiming to take everything!

According to this approach, when flexible phones emerge, Jade Island, without producing its own smartphone brand, will have already invisibly controlled the entire global smartphone industry!

Too damn ruthless!

At this thought, the bigwigs felt furious, realizing that with this cooperation method, they would ultimately become mere agents for Jade Island, an unequal treaty that impairs sovereign dignity!

Hmm, definitely unacceptable!

The bigwigs exchanged looks in a short time, secretly reaching a tacit agreement.

At this moment, the person occupying the top spot in Hua Country’s domestic smartphone market, Hua Wei’s head Yu Chengdong, slightly opened his mouth, preparing to propose the intention they just reached.

However, before he could utter a word, Jiang Cheng had already spoken first: ”Oh, by the way, regardless of whether our cooperation is successful, I hope all of you will keep this confidential because I plan to hold talks with the second batch of smartphone manufacturers.”

Jiang Cheng spoke in a very calm tone, but to the bigwigs, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

”What!”

”The second batch of smartphone manufacturers?”

”Does Jade Island plan to cooperate with other smartphone manufacturers?”

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, they felt a wave of anxiety, and their faces were full of worry.

They suddenly realized that this time they were invited, probably not as equal partners for collaboration, but as chosen ones by providence, with only two paths: agree or disagree.

If they disagreed, someone else could easily replace them.

Put bluntly, they were just the lucky first batch of candidates.

”Everyone doesn’t need to worry.”

Just as the bigwigs were worried about the future independence of their enterprises, Jiang Cheng suddenly said.

”Hmm?”

They all looked at Jiang Cheng simultaneously, filled with confusion.

”The reason for investing in your companies through technology equity is not for control but to protect core technology from leaking and to ensure Jade Island’s legitimate interests; moreover, I can guarantee that in future business operations, you will still have complete independence and achieve accomplishments far beyond what you can imagine!”

Seeing the concern in their eyes, Jiang Cheng offered a very sincere cooperation invitation.
