Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Li Chunlian replied without hesitation, "It's going very smoothly. Our screen resolution has increased significantly. We'll be able to release an even clearer screen next year."

Xiao Shan nodded in satisfaction. The screen research center was the fastest-progressing research center and also the research center that Xiao Shan was most confident in besides the welding machine.

"Xiao Li, do you know about OLED and QLED?" Xiao Shan asked Li Chunlian.

Li Chunlian nodded: "I know, I heard about it when I was in school, but both technologies are not very mature yet and are in the trial operation stage. Many screen companies are also watching and waiting, not knowing whether they should take the risk to enter the market."

Xiao Shan nodded in satisfaction: "I'm quite optimistic about these two types of screens; they might be the future trend. When we're researching screens, we might as well take a look at the prospects of these two types. Especially OLED. If the team isn't big enough, we can expand; if we lack funds, we can apply to the group, and I'll approve it quickly."

"Computer monitor technology also needs to be prioritized, given the rapid development of the internet. Display screens are the easiest area for breakthroughs in computer technology, and we already have some experience in this area. Other technologies are like the blind men and the elephant, requiring us to start from scratch."

"We can't let foreigners make the lion's share of the market, which has more than a billion people. Next year, 01, we will officially join the WTO, and we at Taishan have to deliver a satisfactory result no matter what."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll hold a meeting in the next few days to come up with a plan. If we want to implement all of these plans, we'll have a huge shortage of personnel, especially highly skilled professionals."

Xiao Shan waved his hand and said, "You can go and visit various universities later. We at Taishan University are never stingy with talent. We can also invite some top experts to participate in research and development. We have no shortage of money."

"Ok."

In the following month, sales of the Starry Sky mobile phone were booming, with 200,000 units shipped in just one month.

It's October now, and Taishan's mobile phone sales have already reached an astonishing 2.8 million units, with the potential to break through 3 million.

Sales have been soaring year after year, but the doctoral supervisor's mobile phone has only just started production, and it will be several years before it reaches the goal of selling 10 million units a year.

However, it's hard to say whether this world's doctoral supervisor can reach the same level as Xiao Shan in the world before he traveled through time.

However, Xiao Shan is not in a hurry; next year will be the time for him to truly exert his strength.

Before she knew it, it was time for the group's regular meeting, and Xiao Jingyan rushed back from Beijing.

The meeting room was filled with heads of all the companies and research centers under the Taishan Group in mainland China.

As the boss, Xiao Shan was naturally the first to speak: "Next year is an important year. Our country is joining the WTO, and we will face the impact of manufacturers and distributors all over the world, with products ranging from high-end to low-end. How to maintain Taishan's trading position in the WTO is of paramount importance."

"Let me start by mentioning a few points. Regarding mobile phones, in addition to our existing mid-range and low-end offerings, we'll add ultra-low-end models for export to neighboring countries and some less developed countries around the world. We'll use inexpensive products to first penetrate their domestic markets. We have some technological expertise in screens, and because they're cheap, we can challenge the European and American markets. Capitalists are greedy."

"The efficiency of laser welding machines can be increased by 20%, and the development of the new welding machine will be completed in a while. Our competitors are too slow. Even if we stop and wait for them, they still can't catch up."

"Next November, I plan to organize a Taishan Group product exhibition and sales fair, open to people all over the world. Many of our products are already able to compete with world-class brands. Manufacturers who cooperate with us are welcome to participate if they are interested. We still have a year, which is not too much time but not too much either. I ask everyone to work together to make Taishan even more glorious."

After the meeting, Xiao Shan took Xiao Jingyan back to his office.

After sitting down, Xiao Shan said to Xiao Jingyan, "It's been a while since we last met. You've matured a lot. What do you think of our cooperation with the Precision Research Center?"

"I am quite optimistic about this cooperation. After all, the Precision Research Center belongs to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the country is determined to take control of the manufacturing of precision machine tools. The foreign countries have imposed too severe blockade on us in this area, and the research and development of precision machine tools involves many aspects. Especially for the military industry, without precision machine tools, the development of many weapons is severely restricted."

Xiao Shan nodded: "I'm happy to see you becoming more and more mature. Don't rush off. Your mother has been talking about you a lot these past few days. If the time is right, find someone. Staying single all the time isn't a good thing."

Xiao Jingyan quickly said, "Dad, weren't you a staunch advocate of singlehood back then? Marriage is too much trouble, I want to enjoy being single for another two years."

Xiao Shan was speechless. Was this his own way of defeating him?

"I was indeed a staunch advocate of singlehood back then, but I chose to be single when I was 21 or 22. Look how old you are now. When I was your age, you were already several years old."

Xiao Jingyan found these words rather awkward: "Dad, something came up at my old company, so I have to go."

Xiao Jingyan joined Taishan. His original company was still operating, but it no longer made mobile phones and switched to researching learning machines and music players.

This thing is much simpler than a mobile phone, and it's a product that can bring you a lot of wealth in a short time.

Watching Xiao Jingyan leave, Xiao Shan shook his head speechlessly.

In the blink of an eye, November 2001 arrived, and the country officially joined the WTO.

The product exhibition and sales event in Taishan was also promoted in full swing, and customers all over the world received invitations.

Xiao Shan was reading documents in his office when the phone rang.

Xiao Shan answered the phone and found that it was Tan Chengjia calling.

Tan Chengjia called Xiaoshan this time to deliver business to Xiaoshan.

Tan Chengjia told Xiaoshan that the Camel Kingdom in the Middle East wanted to commission Taishan Group to customize several mobile phones.

Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment upon hearing Tan Chengjia's words.

It shouldn’t be!

The Camel Kingdom is very wealthy and has all kinds of mobile phone brands, so they actually ordered mobile phones from him.

"Brother Tan, why would the Camel Kingdom think of ordering phones from me? Although we've made some technological breakthroughs recently, we're still a bit behind the high-end flagship phones from international brands," Xiao Shan asked, voicing his doubts.

Hearing Xiao Shan's question, Tan Chengjia explained, "Because all of Camel Kingdom's mobile phones were being monitored, their business and military operations were leaked several times. But they investigated for a long time without any results, until they turned their attention to the mobile phones."

"Taishan possesses all the core technologies to produce mobile phones, and it's the only company without any connections to the West that has the capability to manufacture mobile phones independently. So naturally, they thought of you!"

Upon hearing Tan Chengjia's words, Xiao Shan immediately smiled; it was like a pillow being delivered just when one was about to fall asleep.

So he said into the phone, "Brother Tan, you must have heard of the product fair in Taishan, right?"

"Of course!" Tan Chengjia replied without hesitation.

"Could you do me a favor and get the people from the Camel Kingdom to bring their product order to the trade fair? I need some impressive figures to really make our Mount Tai famous. I can start producing the phones for them first, sign the contract, and then announce the contract details at the trade fair."

Tan Chengjia said on the other end of the phone, "No problem! I'll bring the people from Camel Kingdom to Shenzhen tomorrow, and we'll discuss the order details tomorrow morning."

"No problem, I'm always welcome."

Before Xiao Shan's transmigration, several renowned and deified intelligence agencies were exposed for what they truly were.

This is because the core components of the communication devices used by many people have broken free from Western control.

Without the ability to monitor the world, the over-glorified intelligence agencies are no longer very effective.

The next morning, Xiao Shan met his old friend Tan Chengjia and the people from Camel Kingdom in the group's conference room.

In Xiaoshan, the heads of several research centers involved in mobile phone business also attended the meeting.

The introduction began, and then we got down to business.

The people from the Camel Kingdom looked at Xiao Shan and said, "Mr. Xiao, I would like to order 200,000 mobile phones, according to the highest standards of your Mount Tai."

"Okay, are there any other requirements?"

The people from the Camel Kingdom continued, "Well, of the hundred of them, I need to use gold for the outer shell, ten need to be inlaid with diamonds, and ten need to be inlaid with gemstones. I have already brought the diamonds and gemstones."

Soon, the people from the camel kingdom brought out two boxes, one filled with large diamonds and the other with colorful pigeon eggs.

Xiaoshan was speechless. No wonder it's called the Camel Kingdom; they're really rich.

The heads of the research center also witnessed what a real tycoon was like.

“Okay, Xiao Luo, you guys discuss the price. All the parts will use the technology we just developed this year, and the materials from the suppliers will also be the best.”

The people of the Camel Kingdom were very satisfied with Xiao Shan's words. Their Camel Kingdom had no shortage of money, and anything that could be bought with money was no problem.

The vast land contains a wealth of riches; once you run out of money, just dig a few shovelfuls and money will come right away.

"Mr. Xiao, according to these people's requirements, a single mobile phone might cost around 3,200 yuan," Luo Zhenliang said to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan explained the situation to the people of the Camel Kingdom.

“If we pay in US dollars, it’s less than four hundred per unit.” The people from the Camel Kingdom said with some surprise, “Mr. Xiao, this price is too cheap, we are very satisfied.”

Xiao Shan didn't know what to say, but Taishan's net profit accounted for 70% of it.

The main problem is that the exchange rate is too low these days. Three thousand seems like a lot, but it's cheap when converted.

Subsequently, the two parties signed a contract for 200,000 units, priced at 3,200 yuan per unit, for a total amount of over 600 million yuan.

After seeing off Tan Chengjia and the people from the Camel Kingdom, Xiao Shan said to his assistant, "Keep the contract on file, and announce it directly at the trade fair three days later. Consider it a success for the trade fair, and a good start for us."

"Yes," the assistant nodded quickly.

The day of the trade fair arrived quickly.

Because of the large-scale publicity campaign beforehand, a lot of people came this time, with people of all races and skin colors gathering together.

The majority of those who came were from Hong Kong; almost everyone with a bit of fame was there.

Given Taishan Group's current status in Hong Kong, almost everyone has to give it some face.

The opening ceremony speech in Xiaoshan marked the official start of the trade fair.

Xiaoshan saw many familiar faces from other companies among them.

In front of the screen display stand, screens of various sizes are neatly arranged.

A staff member explained, "This is our latest OLED screen, currently the best mobile phone screen in Taishan. Its clarity has surpassed that of our LED screens."

One of the Japanese men's faces immediately darkened: "This is impossible. OLED is something we developed recently. Our technology is clearly the best in the world. You must have plagiarized our technology."

The receptionist arranged by Taishan immediately came over and said, "Sir, slander has consequences. Our technology has applied for international patents, and we have relevant documents on our booth. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. OLED is not unique to you. Taishan has been conducting related research since its establishment. In terms of research time, we may have started earlier than you, but we are a humble people. We don't boast about our achievements as if we're afraid of being looked down upon. This screen is the culmination of our many years of research and can be considered a congratulatory gift for our country's accession to world trade."

The Japanese chicken merchant, blushing with embarrassment after being spoken to by the people from Mount Tai, turned and left.

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to contact people in China and explain the situation.

Xiao Shan also witnessed this scene. Before he traveled through time, the best screen was from Sanxing, which has not yet ventured into OLED.

The screen on Mount Tai is considered the first mature screen product to be officially used in commercial applications.

The service staff at the center of the screen introduced the clear screen again: "This is our independently developed QLED screen. In terms of clarity, it is second only to our OLED screen. Currently, Taishan's technology is among the world's leading technologies."

All the major mobile phone, computer and TV manufacturers have flocked to this, and the resolution of these screens has reached the top tier internationally, but the price is much cheaper than those of those major international manufacturers.

For a time, the reception staff at Mount Tai were extremely busy, and in just one morning, they sold over a million screens of various kinds.

Orders were placed for mobile phones, televisions, computers, and displays for other research purposes, with sales reaching 600 million.

A large crowd also gathered in front of the welding machine booth. Now almost everyone in the industry knows that Taishan's welding machines are number one in the world, especially laser welding, which is far ahead of others.

Several staff members were so busy signing orders that their hands were sore. The specific data is not yet available, but Xiaoshan can already imagine the outcome.

Looking at the bustling trade fair, Xiao Shan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Having been in this world for so many years, my influence on it has grown increasingly greater!

Just then, the assistant ran over and whispered to Xiao Shan, "Mr. Xiao, the big boss from Shenzhen is here."

"Come with me to greet them," Xiao Shan nodded.

The two arrived at the entrance, and Xiao Shan went over and shook hands with the leader, saying, "Welcome to this trade fair, leader, despite your busy schedule."

After shaking hands with Xiao Shan, the senior leader of Shenzhen City smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, with such a big commotion in Taishan, how could I not come? This trade fair is also a trial run for our accession to the WTO. It's not just me who's paying attention; many other people are too. Judging from the lively atmosphere at the venue, it's been a great success at the very least."

"Yes, the trade fair will last for five days. The first three days should be the key time for signing orders. So far, the results are good. In less than half a day, we have already signed orders worth nearly 3 billion yuan."

This time, the top leader was genuinely shocked: "Xiao Sheng, is this true?"

"Leaders, you can come with me and take a look. We've been preparing for this trade fair for a year. We've made breakthroughs in all technologies, especially in the screen industry. We've successfully developed two screens that have been in the testing phase in major laboratories and manufacturers around the world, and they're now officially used in commercial applications. We're practically the only ones of their kind in the world. In just a few hours, we signed contracts for over a million units, with sales reaching over 600 million."

The top leader of Shenzhen laughed and said, "Indeed, technology is the primary productive force."

Xiao Shan led the senior leaders around the trade fair.

“We originally didn’t plan to enter the high-end mobile phone business, but a few days ago, people from Camel Kingdom contacted me and ordered 200,000 of their most high-end mobile phones. It’s a profitable business, so I can’t just not sell them. Now our mobile phone division has four tiers – high, medium, low, and ultra-low.”

"High-end products can target the European and American markets, while ultra-low-end products can target the markets of developing countries. This is also our strategy for dealing with joining the WTO. So far, the plan is working well."

"Haha, this is called an accidental success. The Camel Kingdom has been plagued by information leaks for years, and it seems they have found the reason for the leaks."

Xiao Shan continued, "These are learning machines and music players produced by our partners. They've just been launched and seem to be very popular."

"I've also heard about the reputation of these two things; they're very popular among young people, which is good."

"We have also made significant breakthroughs in lithium batteries, whether for mobile phones or laptops. They are small in size, high in density, and can store a lot of electricity. Our battery R&D center has already started to generate profits. After deducting R&D investment, we can still make a profit. This means that Taishan will not need to continue investing money, which can achieve a positive cycle. Lithium batteries still have a very high development prospect. We do not need to worry about bottlenecks for at least the next fifteen years."

The senior leader nodded and said, "Only when profits exceed research investment can research continue. Many of our industries currently have more investment than output and are always in a loss-making state. But there's nothing we can do about it. Our initial foundation was too weak. Only by continuously investing money to solidify the foundation can we develop faster in the future."

"What the leader said is true. In terms of long-term strategic planning for a major power, no country in the world can rival us. We can basically achieve our long-term strategic plans, but many long-term strategies of European and American countries have been abandoned for various reasons before they have even been implemented for two years."

The senior leader asked with some surprise, "Xiao Sheng also understands international strategy?"

"The leaders also know that our Taishan started in Hong Kong and has a fairly good understanding of the situation abroad. In my opinion, those guys abroad basically don't have a long-term strategic plan, or rather, once they implement it to a certain extent, someone will inevitably jump out and cause trouble. It could be other political parties, or for various other reasons."

The senior leader nodded and said, "Xiao Sheng's analysis is very insightful; he sees the big picture from small details."

Xiao Shan continued leading the senior leader on the tour, and soon arrived at the mobile phone exhibition area in charge of Luo Zhenliang: "Manager Luo, this is our senior leader from Shenzhen. How is the situation?"
