Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 47 [All mobile phone manufacturers want to grab the first launch of 100 full-screen phones]

The competitiveness of Prism Technology's graphene material products is obvious. Looking around the world, there is no company that can rival it.

Not only can it be mass-produced, but its quality purity is also the best in the world, and the price can be ten times, or even dozens or hundreds of times cheaper than the current market price. With such a competitive advantage in products, no other similar competitor can rival Prism Technology.

Another thing is that graphene material has a wide range of applications. It is not limited to making mobile phone batteries and screens.

A series of high-end industries such as aerospace, energy storage, electronic devices, biosensors, etc. have a strong demand for graphene materials. Electronic products such as smartphones and tablets are just one application scenario in the sub-sector.

In addition to the commercial market, it also includes the military market.

The company has no worries about having no customers, but the actual situation is definitely one of supply exceeding demand. If you want to get goods from Prism Technology, you have to queue up.

Apple wants to be the boss, but Xiao Yu obviously won't indulge it and is even too lazy to pay attention to it.

At this moment, Xiao Yu picked up another document and looked at it for a while, then nodded and smiled: "Okay, these domestic manufacturers seem to be cooperative."

Compared with Apple's arrogant attitude, many domestic manufacturers are much more pragmatic and basically negotiate cooperation in a begging manner.

Although Xiao Yu did not meet with the potential customers who came to investigate and inquire, he could feel the sincerity from the cooperation initiatives proposed in the materials.

To be precise, they are clearly aware that they do not have much bargaining power with Prism Technology, and they are very clear that there will be no shortage of buyers for Prism Technology's products, so they have to lower their stance.

After a while, Xu Changming said: "I have received dozens of manufacturers who came to investigate and inquire about prices. The military is expected to take about 70% of the production capacity. The remaining 30% of the production capacity cannot meet the strong demand of the civilian market at all."

Graphene materials are already in great demand in high-end industries. Prism Technology can provide higher quality and cheaper products, so the scale of demand will definitely increase further.

Xu Changming went on to say: "To be honest, it's quite a headache right now. There are too many sellers and too little meat. One company that was given the goods didn't get the other one, especially since the two companies' products are in competition with each other. The one that didn't get the goods will definitely be very upset."

The manufacturers that came to Prism Technology Company for research and quotation inquiries this time included not only Apple, but also well-known large manufacturers in the smartphone industry. Mainland manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Blue-Green Factory also sent people.

Because they all want their next generation flagship mobile phone products to be the first to launch 100% full-screen, say goodbye to extreme screens and notch screens, and realize a truly 100% full-screen mobile phone.

This is a big selling point, so everyone wants to be the first to launch it.

Prism Technology has insufficient production capacity and supply, so we have to grab the supply. Once we get it, our competitors will be out of stock. For a period of time, there will be only one brand on the market that can achieve 100% full-screen mobile phones, which is equivalent to an exclusive selling point, and the advantage will definitely be huge.

Xu Changming suggested: "Our market pricing is obviously too low. Even if we raise the price by two or three times, it is completely reasonable. After all, our product competitiveness is unmatched in the market."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he rejected the proposal without thinking twice: "The price remains unchanged. I have made up my mind."

As for the market pricing of graphene materials, Xiao Yu made the decision after careful consideration after weighing the pros and cons.

It is not only to stabilize the irrational and terrifying profit margin, but more importantly, Xiao Yu needs to accelerate the development of technology on the entire earth.

The purpose of accelerating the development of Earth's technology is to deal with other high-tech products in the Blue Star World, because they are too advanced to be brought to Earth rashly. For example, smart holographic bracelets have been popularized in the Blue Star World as early as smartphones on Earth.

However, such a high-tech product that clearly surpasses the Earth's era cannot be rashly brought out. Industry insiders can easily conclude that this is not a product that can be produced by the current level of technology on Earth.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a complete technology industry chain system, involving many technology industries such as chips, displays, communications, etc.

Only when the entire industrial system is in place, Xiao Yu dares to bring the holographic bracelet to Earth with confidence.

With so many industries involved, it is obviously not something that Xiao Yu alone or Prism Technology alone can handle.

Even if it could be done, it would take a long time. Ten years? Twenty years? Xiao obviously didn't want to wait that long.

Graphene has the reputation of being the "king of new materials" and is widely used in high-end industries.

The price is too high and it will always be a niche market. So far, the annual output value of global graphene materials is less than one trillion yuan.

Only by lowering the price of materials and releasing a larger market scale, many technology companies that could not afford such materials before will be able to afford them. Their products will become more advanced and competitive, and they will be able to make more money. With sufficient profit support, companies will be able to increase their investment in the research and development of new technologies, and the development of the entire technology industry will naturally be accelerated.

Moreover, lowering the price does not mean that Prism Technology will make less money. It will definitely make more money.

The high pricing means that the output value ceiling of the entire industry cannot exceed one trillion yuan. Even if Prism Technology monopolizes the profits of the entire industry, it can only make this much.

But lowering the price has released a larger market scale, and the output value of the entire industry has expanded to 10 trillion yuan. Even if Prism Technology takes half of the market share, that is 5 trillion yuan, which is obviously more profitable. From this perspective, the price must also be lowered.

Another thing is, from the perspective of corporate competition, if you lower prices in one go, your competitors will either suddenly go bankrupt or be seriously damaged.

Not only is your product better than his, it is also ten or even dozens of times cheaper. His customers will definitely come to you to purchase the product, but your competitors cannot follow suit and lower their prices to the same level as you. They cannot afford to keep up, otherwise the company will go bankrupt and close down the next day.

At this time, Xu Changming said: "But if we don't raise the price and sell it at such a low price, if I were the buyer, I would definitely not use it in my own end products. Instead, I would resell the graphene materials purchased from Prism Technology at a higher price and become a middleman."

Xu Changming went on to say, "For example, scientific research-grade graphene is priced at 999 yuan per gram by the company. If I were a buyer, I could easily sell it at 3000 yuan per gram or even 5000 yuan per gram. I could easily make more than four times the profit by just reselling it, making more than Prism Technology. Why would I bother doing anything else?"

Then, Xu Changming added: "I received dozens of research inquiries from potential enterprise customers this time, and I found that more than a dozen of them were not technology companies at all. I dare to conclude that they must be aiming to buy goods from us at a low price and resell them as middlemen."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "You are right. This problem must be solved. We must not allow some people to take the goods from us and resell them to make a huge profit from the middleman's price difference."

The huge profits were taken away by middlemen, and it also seriously hindered the accelerated development of the Earth's scientific and technological industrial system. This was something Xiao Yu absolutely could not accept.
