Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 100 [The first graphene full-screen mobile phone is launched]

It is now July.

While Xiao Yu was busy working on the electric aircraft, the Xiaomi 12S-Ultra equipped with a graphene full screen and graphene battery technology was officially released on July 7, which is today. Lei Jun grabbed the first full-screen launch for his own 4S-Ultra.

Because Huawei's M50Pro is scheduled to be released in September, 9S-Ultra is two months earlier.

Except for these two mobile phone manufacturers, other manufacturers have not received the goods yet.

Today, Xiao Yu also took some time to watch the live broadcast of the Xiaomi 12S-Ultra launch conference hosted by Lei Jun. This phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 8+Gen1 processor and uses technologies such as the "leaf vein cold pump cooling system". It is also the first imaging flagship phone launched by Xiaomi and Leica.

In terms of imaging, according to Lei Jun, Xiaomi 12S-Ultra is equipped with the world's first Sony IMX989 sensor. In addition, it also has a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 48MP periscope telephoto lens, supporting Dolby Vision HDR video shooting and 8K movie shooting.

Originally, Lei Jun planned to promote the cooperation with Leica as the core selling point, but now it can only be regarded as "one of" and it has to be put at the back because there are bigger selling points.

Since establishing cooperation with Lingjing Technology and obtaining 100% supply of full-screen and graphene batteries, Lei Jun has regarded the graphene full-screen and the long battery life of graphene batteries as the core selling points of 12S-Ultra.

Moreover, the first launch of the 100% full-screen phone has been preheated for a long time, and users are also very much looking forward to it.

It has to be said that even if the other industrial designs of Xiaomi 12S-Ultra remain unchanged, and just remove the "extreme screen hole" of the front camera on the screen, the appearance level will immediately have a qualitative leap, and the whole screen will be clean, especially for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder who will call it extremely comfortable.

In addition, another thing that makes users feel that Xiaomi 12S-Ultra exceeds their expectations is that it uses Lingjing Technology's graphene battery, which can achieve 72 hours of battery life under normal use. This is the battery life that can be achieved without power management or power saving mode.

To put it simply, you can play games for more than 70 hours continuously with this phone without any problem. This battery life directly kills all known smartphone brands on the market.

Moreover, the charging speed of graphene batteries is extremely fast. The fast charging technologies currently on the market take at least 20 to 30 minutes to fully charge, which is a direct blow to their dimensionality reduction. The graphene batteries supplied by Lingjing Technology can be fully charged within three to five minutes.

Compared with the charging speed of graphene batteries, the fast charging technologies currently on the market have become slow charging.

Now, people from all walks of life in and outside the industry, including many netizens, believe that Lei Jun has obtained the supply of full-screen and graphene batteries from Lingjing Technology and grabbed the first launch. The 12S-Ultra product has more hope than ever before to lead Xiaomi to successfully impact the high-end market.

Because currently on the market, the only product is the Xiaomi 12S-Ultra, which is equipped with Lingjing Technology's graphene full screen and graphene battery. We haven't even got any products from other competitors, and their products don't use these two technologies at all. Moreover, the Huawei M50Pro, which supports these two technologies, will not be released until September.

In other words, in the next two months, only the 12S-Ultra product will be equipped with a 100% full screen and a long battery life.

The reaction of the capital market is the most intuitive reflection. Today is Monday. The share price of Xiaomi, which is listed in Hong Kong, soared to HK$16.8 per share today, with a daily increase of +27.47%. It can be said to be a surge, setting the largest single-day increase since Xiaomi was listed in Hong Kong. There is no limit on the daily price fluctuation in the Hong Kong stock market.

Xiao Mi’s current latest market value has also exceeded the HK$4000 billion mark, specifically HK$4196 billion, equivalent to approximately RMB 3582 billion.

The surge in the company's stock price is undoubtedly the most intuitive reflection of the capital market's super optimism.

At this moment, Xiao Yu just clicked into the live broadcast room of Xiaomi's press conference. The press conference has been going on for a long time, and Lei Jun, who was hosting the release of 12S-Ultra, happened to brag about Lingjing Technology's supplier Daddy. His emotional intelligence was maxed out.

"Why can companies like Lingjing Technology succeed in new businesses, while those Fortune 500 companies are prone to fail in new businesses? For example, Microsoft, such a powerful company, made mobile phones, but it couldn't make them on its own, so it bought Nokia and lost miserably. Another example is Intel's mobile phone chips. How could a company that was so powerful or years ago fail to make them? It's incredible. Is the difference between PC processors and mobile phone processors that big?"

At this moment, Lei Jun talked freely: "The reason why the world's top companies are prone to failure when they cross over into new businesses is, I think, the biggest problem is the image burden. Big companies think I have brands, talents, technology, money and everything, while you startups have nothing. In fact, you forget that you are zero when you enter a new industry, so we Xiao Mi have awe."

"We need to realize how complex this industry is. No matter which company it is, or how much smaller it is than us, we all deserve our respect and we should really bend down to learn from them. Of course, I am not saying that Lingjing Technology is smaller than us. Lingjing Technology's current market value is equivalent to the combined market value of the four Xiaomis, which is much larger than us, and its innovation ability is beyond doubt."

The audience immediately burst into laughter, and many netizens who were watching the live broadcast of the press conference also posted barrages of laughter.

It has to be said that Lei Jun also gave enough face to Lingjing Technology's supplier father. Netizens also said that there was a reason why Xiaomi was able to grab the first launch qualification for the two major technical applications of graphene full screen and graphene battery.

As the press conference came to an end, Lei Jun on the stage said: "So how much does a phone like Xiaomi 12S-Ultra cost? This phone does bring together all kinds of the most advanced technologies this year. I won't keep you in suspense. Let's take a look at the Ultra's pricing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant screen on the stage switched the picture, and the price of Xiaomi 12S-Ultra was officially announced.

8GB+256GB版本定价5999元；12GB+256GB版本定价6499元；12GB+512GB版本定价6999元。

After announcing the price, Lei Jun said: "The initial price starts at 5999. I believe that at the price of 6000 to 7000, Ultra will be a very competitive flagship model. I sincerely invite everyone to come to the Xiaomi House nearby to experience the strength of Ultra in person."

Mobile phone users who watched the press conference were indeed tempted. Apart from other things, the 12S-Ultra currently has a unique 100% full screen and a super long battery life thanks to the graphene battery. It is not a loss to buy it at the starting price of 6000 yuan.

After seeing this, Xiao Yu also closed the live broadcast page of the press conference. No matter whether Xiaomi’s mobile phone sells well or not, Lingjing Technology will not lose a penny of the money it deserves.

According to the contract between the two parties, Xiaomi must pay for the amount of goods it takes, regardless of how many are sold. And regardless of whether the price is reduced later, Lingjing Technology will charge 30% of the initial price.

That is, the screen charges 20% and the battery charges 10%.

The starting price of Xiaomi 12S-Ultra is 5999 yuan, of which Lingjing Technology will take 1799.7 yuan for each phone, and 6999 yuan for the phone priced at 2099.7 yuan. For Xiaomi, this is the cost of the phone, but for Lingjing Technology it is real money revenue.

Xiaomi obtained screen supplies for 2800 million mobile phones from Lingjing Technology, with a contract value of 355.7 billion yuan, and also obtained batteries for 3000 million mobile phones, with an order value of 189.3 billion yuan.

In other words, no matter how many mobile phones are sold, Xiaomi will have to pay Lingjing Technology a huge sum of 545 billion yuan.
