29: Chapter 29 Unlocking Flexible Screens: Xiaomi's Shock to the World

This time, Peng Rizhao was much more straightforward than the last.

Regarding the goods Bai Jingqing brought out,

He didn't even bother to inspect them.

Last time, Bai Jingqing hadn't inspected the package of cash Peng Rizhao handed him in person either.

Regarding this point,

Peng Rizhao was actually quite moved.

He felt that Bai Jingqing was a very direct person who trusted him deeply.

Naturally, he had to accord Little Boss Bai the same level of trust.

Only in this way could business last for a long time.

Inspecting the goods again right in front of someone,

Would make him seem a bit too petty.

The transaction went very smoothly this time as well.

Peng Rizhao bought 100 units of the xiaomi 5 for 299,900 yuan.

Of course, these weren't fully-featured xiaomi 5s yet,

Just xiaomi 5s with swapped chips.

These were all assembled for Bai Jingqing by the system,

So from the outside, no flaws could be seen.

Bai Jingqing had no way to assemble them himself.

If he were to assemble them himself,

He wouldn't know how long it would take to finish these 100 units.

The cost of a xiaomi 4 set was 40 yuan.

The cost of a snapdragon 820 processor was 10 yuan.

Added together, the cost was 50 yuan.

Then, subtracting the snapdragon 801 taken out of the xiaomi 4,

The cost was 5 yuan.

Plus the system's assembly fee of 10 yuan,

It was equivalent to a cost of 55 yuan per machine.

Yet he was going to sell them for a price of 2,999.

This was equivalent to a net profit of 2,944 yuan,

A net gain of 2,944 profit points.

Was there anything more unscrupulous than this?

Bai Jingqing clutched his chest,

Feeling a pang of remorse.

He really didn't want to be a profiteer!

But there was no choice.

The system was forcing him to do this,

And he still had debts to pay!

Regarding the current so-called xiaomi 5,

He was still quite dissatisfied.

This phone had no major upgrades besides the processor.

It lacked sincerity in itself.

Even the upgraded processor couldn't even maintain a steady 60 FPS in honor of kings.

So this xiaomi 5 was clearly just meant to fleece the customers!

Bai Jingqing was a little afraid he would be flamed.

Wait until the xiaomi 6 comes out,

Using the snapdragon 835 processor,

It should be much better by then.

Plus the optimization for honor of kings from Penguin's side,

Maintaining 60 FPS should be a piece of cake.

But upgrading from the xiaomi 4 to the xiaomi 5,

Aside from the change in processor,

Basically nothing else changed.

On this point,

Bai Jingqing felt very dissatisfied.

He felt like he was still acting like a profiteer,

Only upgrading the processor,

While increasing the price by 1,000 yuan.

If this wasn't being a profiteer, what was?

But there was no choice.

His current profit points were simply too low.

To unlock higher-tier phones,

Or some other technologies,

He still had to work hard to earn profit points.

He planned that after the xiaomi 5 opened up the market,

He would sell more xiaomi 4s and xiaomi 5s,

Earn more profit points,

And then unlock the full-featured xiaomi 6 for his fellow phone-enthusiast fans,

Giving the whole world a little taste of Xiaomi shock.

No!

That's not enough!

A full-featured xiaomi 6 is not enough!

He had to keep pushing higher!

He intended to lead the trend in this life,

Pushing domestic phones to the pinnacle of manufacturing.

Current phones couldn't even achieve a Full-screen display,

Let alone a Curved screen.

He planned to put a Curved screen on the xiaomi 6,

Using a Flexible AMOLED screen,

To make a domestic phone the first to be equipped with a Curved screen.

At the thought of this,

He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

To think that in this new life,

He could actually make a small contribution to the country,

Allowing the nation's manufacturing industry to stand tall and proud in the world.

When the time comes, he would punch little South Korean Samsung,

And kick big North American Apple.

Wouldn't that be easy?

If he remembered correctly,

In his previous life, the first Curved screen was featured on the Samsung Galaxy Round,

And it was only a single-Curved screen back then.

Samsung at that time could still be said to be in its prime,

Still working hard on innovations.

The Samsung Galaxy S released later

Was also equipped with dual-Curved screens on the left and right,

Truly leading the trend in the mobile phone circle.

And in this life,

On the xiaomi 6,

He planned to equip it with the same screen as the Samsung Galaxy S.

After a quick search in the mall,

He soon found that screen.

Samsung Galaxy S Super AMOLED flexible screen,

Unlocking points: 100,000; cost: 50 yuan.

Good grief!

Bai Jingqing was startled.

The cost of just this screen alone was 50 yuan.

He remembered that the cost of the entire xiaomi 4 was only 40 yuan!

In other words, the price of this single screen even exceeded the price of the entire xiaomi 4!

He then looked at the processor of the Samsung S,

Which used the Exynos 7420.

This was an octa-core processor.

However, even for this Exynos 7420 octa-core processor,

The cost was only 25 yuan.

Meaning the most expensive part of the Samsung S was very likely this screen.

"As expected of Samsung!

Their screen technology is indeed top-tier!"

However, looking at the system's evaluation of this screen: "A classic work from Samsung.

It indeed stunned the world when it first came out,

Sparking a generational trend.

The dual-Curved screen design also made Samsung famous for a time,

Winning multiple awards.

But as times changed,

Whether the Curved screen design was right or wrong remains inconclusive.

However, as more and more phone manufacturers began returning to Flat screens,

It seems the era of Curved screens is about to become a thing of the past.

And this Super AMOLED screen from Samsung back then also had many issues,

Such as color shifting, poor transparency, poor color accuracy, insufficient peak brightness, no dimming to speak of, and so on.

It has some collectible value,

But will ultimately become a relic of its time."

That was relative to the point in time before he transmigrated.

If placed in the present,

Bringing out this kind of dual-Curved screen would be a heavyweight, massive shock to phone manufacturers across the entire world.

People have only just been liberated from Feature phones.

Who could have imagined that one day a phone screen could actually be made curved?

Anyway, he planned to use the Super AMOLED screen on the xiaomi 6,

So he might as well just unlock it now.

Unlocking this screen required 500,000 profit points,

And he currently had 533,125 profit points,

Which was just enough to unlock it.

This would also become one of the foundations for his survival now.

By the time the xiaomi 6 comes around, it would need 3 million profit points.

He believed that after the storm of the honor of kings release,

The xiaomi 5 would earn back those 3 million profit points.

Even if it couldn't,

He could think of other ways by then,

Like selling other things,

For instance, the snapdragon 820 processor and this flexible screen,

To other phone manufacturers.

That would be a last resort,

But it should also be able to earn back those profit points.

So he directly unlocked this Super AMOLED screen now.

Then, he had the system assemble an incongruous xiaomi 4.

Using the xiaomi 4 as a base,

He changed the processor to a snapdragon 835,

And changed the screen to the Samsung Galaxy S Super AMOLED flexible screen.

It must be said, the system was truly impressive.

Even with this kind of mismatched configuration,

The system could complete the assembly of a whole phone and have it run smoothly.

Bai Jingqing planned to use this as his main phone for a while.

The rest would wait until he saved up enough profit points for the xiaomi 6 before switching.
