Cooperation

On the internet, the message Ning Yifan officially posted to Samsung via Weibo was like a stone dropped into the sea, not causing even the slightest ripple.

Except for those who specifically sought out Weibo, the messages released by Shenma Technology Company were nowhere to be seen, as if the world had selectively forgotten them!

Even under Ning Yifan's Weibo, the majority of comments were gloating and mocking Shenma Technology Company.

Things on the internet didn't really matter much, and Ning Yifan didn't pay them much mind, busy with the tasks he needed to accomplish.

The next morning, outside Shenma Technology Company, the chairmen of several home appliance companies—Changhong, Haier, TCL, Hisense, and Skyworth—arrived as if by prior arrangement.

One luxury sedan after another drove into the Shenma Technology Company factory.

After alighting from their vehicles, the chairmen of the major companies exchanged pleasantries.

"Old Wang, you're here too!"

"Alas, how could I not be? The company is already in this state; we have to grasp even a one-in-ten-thousand chance!"

"Who isn't? Our company's stock price has plummeted recently; it's been killing me with worry!"

"Don't even mention it. Let's hope for a good outcome at Shenma Technology Company today!"

"Last night, some of the senior management at our company discussed the incident where Samsung Group sued Shenma Technology Company all night. There are many inexplicable issues with the claim that Shenma Technology Company stole technology from Samsung's labs. Shenma Technology Company should be innocent!"

"I have great expectations for this trip. I hope Shenma Technology Company can allow us companies to continue to survive. I've dedicated my life to working for the company and don't want to see it go bankrupt in my twilight years."

"Seeing the company decline recently makes my heart bleed; decades of hard work!"

"Business is like war. If you're outmatched technologically, there's nothing to say, but I still don't want to see the company fall!"

"Let's hope for a good outcome today!"

"Regarding what young brother Ning Yifan said on the phone yesterday, I'm very interested in the global TV projector display market!"

"Me too!"

As the familiar chairmen exchanged greetings after getting out of their cars, Ning Yifan, as the host, quickly came out to welcome them.

"Shenma Technology Company, Ning Yifan. It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Ning Yifan extended his hand and introduced himself as he approached the chairmen.

"Changhong Company, Wang Qizhen. Young brother Ning Yifan is truly handsome!"

"Hisense Company Chairman Li Weichao. Young brother, you're truly a man of talent!"

"TCL Company Chairman, Huang Yuanhuai. Young brother Ning Yifan is excellent, young and promising!"

"Skyworth Company Chairman Luo Jisong. They've said all the important things, so I'll just be brief."

"He Yuanhang, Director of Haier Group."

After they had all introduced themselves, Ning Yifan asked, "You all came so early, have you eaten?"

The group exchanged glances, and the chairman of Changhong Company hesitantly replied, "Uh, I haven't eaten yet. Business is important; eating or not doesn't matter."

"I haven't either, haha!"

"We rushed here so quickly. We caught a flight at 7 AM and only ate some snacks on the plane."

"Everyone rushed over early this morning and didn't even have time to think about eating!"

"Come to think of it, I am a bit hungry."

Ning Yifan said speechlessly, "Then let's go eat first. There's a decent breakfast place in the industrial park, not far from here. We can talk on the way."

A group of chairmen from several companies, along with their secretaries and drivers, headed toward the breakfast shop in a grand procession.

Along the way, Ning Yifan reiterated his ideas to everyone.

"Regarding the matter on the internet, the truth is that Samsung cracked my technology. I believe it wasn't just one company trying to crack my technology, but only Samsung succeeded. Not only did they succeed, but they also came out to provoke me, claiming the projector technology was from their lab.

It's fine that they cracked my company's technology; if you gamble, you accept the consequences. It shows their capability if they could crack it.

However, I don't want to give up the global projector market. Compared to Shenma Technology Company, Samsung has advantages in production capacity and sales channels. Relying solely on Shenma Technology Company would mean losing the global projector display market.

Therefore, at this time, I've reached out to you all, hoping to use your help to crush Samsung Group into the ground!

That's the general situation. Of course, words are not enough. After breakfast, I'll take you to experience Shenma Technology Company's technology and our latest Phantom Projector!"

Ultimately, seeing the actual product would put people at ease and facilitate further discussions on specific matters.

After a quick breakfast, the numerous chairmen eagerly awaited Ning Yifan to take them back to the company to see Shenma Technology Company's latest product, the Phantom Projector.

In this matter, it wasn't just Ning Yifan who needed their sales channels; they also needed the Phantom Projector product to bring profits to their companies.

Ning Yifan, on the other hand, had a hearty appetite. He had worked until 2 AM last night and slept for only four hours before waking up at 6 AM to continue working. He had long since depleted his energy reserves and was starving.

He ate six large steamed buns and three large bowls of congee with pickles before he was finally satisfied.

After breakfast, Ning Yifan intended to pay the bill, but there were too many observant secretaries; Ning Yifan didn't even get a chance to pay!

Amidst the proprietress's enthusiastic calls of "Come again tomorrow!", Ning Yifan and his entourage left the breakfast shop.

Upon returning to the company, Ning Yifan didn't beat around the bush and directly brought out the new Phantom Projector he had made on the first floor of the factory.

He plugged it in and turned it on!

After the startup animation, the Shenma Technology Company logo appeared.

Ning Yifan used the remote control to play a movie with an 8K source.

Less than a minute after the movie began playing, the chairmen watching around them were already deeply shocked. After exchanging glances, The chairman of Changhong Company was the first to affirm, "This is 16K picture quality!"

"It's like a dream, it's definitely 16K picture quality. I've seen plenty of 8K, and it's absolutely not like this!"

"Projectors or displays currently have no mass-produced 16K resolution models. Those that exist are unfinished versions from laboratories. The ones previously exposed were Sony's astronomically priced displays, assembled from numerous seamless monitors, costing over 5 million US dollars. They were also experimental products, not sold in mass production!"

"But this latest projector from Shenma Technology Company..."

Everyone looked at the projector machine in the center, which wasn't much larger than the Phantom Projector!

"It looks like it has the potential for mass production!"

"16K picture quality, the image is twice as clear as 8K. Even up close, the naked eye can't see the pixel grains!"

"The movie looks just like reality, it's incredible!"

These individuals had been involved in the home appliance industry, including televisions, for decades. Although they didn't work in production departments, they had discerning eyes. An expert could tell at a glance!

As soon as the projector screen lit up, it deeply impressed the chairmen.

"Truly, a young hero emerges. I believe Samsung doesn't have this kind of technology, otherwise, their news would have spread worldwide by now."

"How was the source material issue resolved? I've seen this movie before, and the highest resolution available online is 8K. Even the original film negatives only have 8K resolution. There can't be 16K source material!"

"It's like a miracle! How was it achieved!"

Facing everyone's questions, Ning Yifan explained briefly.

"This projector device, I've named it the Phantom Projector Super Edition." (It took a full evening to develop and manufacture!) Ning Yifan added silently in his heart.

"The driver board and software used have been greatly improved compared to the first and second generations, and the Youth Edition of the Phantom Projector. It's our company's latest independently developed projector technology."

"The light source inside also uses an LED light source for projectors that our company recently developed and manufactured, which is a huge upgrade from the first and second generations of the Phantom Projector."

"As for the source material issue, it's through AI image enhancement technology, where we use algorithms to enhance 8K source material to 16K picture quality.

After all, very few computers nowadays can handle 8K gaming and viewing. Ninety-nine percent of computers can't even run 16K resolution.

AI algorithm image enhancement technology is not unfamiliar nowadays; several companies online have this technology.

However, Shenma Technology Company is ahead of all other companies, leaving them far behind. They can enhance 2K to 4K, 4K to 8K, and 8K to 16K!

Whether playing games or watching movies, it can enhance the picture quality!"

After hearing Ning Yifan's explanation, the chairmen looked at each other. They could roughly understand what Ning Yifan was saying, but how could these technologies be realized? They were completely clueless!

Ning Yifan saw their confusion but pretended not to. He couldn't possibly explain the specific operating principles, and even if he did, they wouldn't understand!

After watching the 16K projector movie for a while, Ning Yifan led everyone to the next visiting location.

Leading the chairmen, Ning Yifan arrived at the factory elevator. The elevator door opened automatically. After inviting the chairmen inside, Ning Yifan said, "Second floor."

The elevator door closed, ascended, and stopped on the second floor.

The elevator door opened, and Ning Yifan led them into the factory's fully automated production workshop.

Although the fully automated workshop wasn't running at the moment, it still shocked the chairmen. Rows upon rows of neatly arranged automatic robotic arms, with assembly lines running between them.

Seeing their expressions, Ning Yifan said, "This is the production line of our Shenma Technology Company. Let me give you a simple demonstration."

Ning Yifan walked to the main switch not far away and pressed the green start button.

Instantly, all the automatic robotic arms on the second floor entered a self-inspection state. Their movements were synchronized, flexing their joints and performing grasping actions.

After self-inspection, all robotic arms entered their working states.

The assembly line truly flowed like water. Robotic arms processed components from raw materials into various parts.

Then, automated carts responsible for transportation in the factory carried batches of components to the next assembly station.

At the very front, Phantom Projectors were continuously manufactured, packaged, and sealed.

Is this Shenma Technology Company? Technology that only existed in imagination has been realized!

"It's too amazing, he's simply a genius. No, he's like a god! A god of mechanical manufacturing! Genius is not enough to describe Ning Yifan's power!"

The chairmen's faces were filled with shock as they watched the dreamlike scene before them.

"It's truly fully automated production, with absolutely no workers!"

"Just as he said before, Shenma Technology Company only has him!"

After a brief demonstration for the chairmen, Ning Yifan shut down the Phantom Projector production line. The Phantom Projector production line had not yet completed its upgrade and would need another two days to resume production. However, once resumed, it might not produce other components for projectors anymore!

After the tour, everyone gathered in the reception room on the first floor of Ning Yifan's three-story building.

Standing at the front, Ning Yifan said, "Alright, you've seen the powerful capabilities of Shenma Technology Company. Samsung definitely doesn't have this kind of technology!

Our Shenma Technology Company could not have stolen Samsung's technology.

The Phantom Projector Super Edition will comprehensively crush the second-generation Phantom Projector in performance, with a full 100% performance enhancement.

With this product, the laughable situation of Samsung suing Shenma Technology Company for stealing company technology will naturally collapse.

Just as I told Samsung before, copying a failing student's test paper for sixty points will never get you one hundred points!

By producing a projector that can crush Samsung's products, the lie will naturally fall apart."

Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to Samsung's problems.

However, I cannot stand by and watch Samsung potentially use stolen technology to produce products with the same performance as the Phantom Projector and seize the international market for it!

I want to suppress Samsung from all sides, ensuring they can't sell a single projector! They won't make any money!

For this, I need your help. First, I need worldwide sales channels, elite sales talent, public relations teams, and so on.

Of course, I'm not asking for help, but for cooperation!

As you've seen, while Shenma Technology Company's fully automated production line can manufacture products with high efficiency, its production capacity is not enough to cover the entire world when compared to international giants like Samsung.

At the same time, Shenma Technology Company lacks sales channels and sales talent. I can't possibly travel to every single country myself.

These issues will be handed over to your companies to handle.

I wonder if you're interested in producing and selling the Phantom Projector!

After hearing Ning Yifan's words, the chairmen immediately asked:

"What exactly is the cooperation method?"

"We're definitely interested! However, as businessmen, our companies have numerous employees who need salaries paid from company profits. Profit is also a primary concern for us!"

"If possible, our Changhong company doesn't want to give up our decades-long TV business."

The companies expressed their strong interest one after another.

Ning Yifan continued, "Since you're all interested, here's my idea: Shenma Technology Company will produce the key components, driver boards, and LED light sources for the Phantom Projector. Your companies will produce the remaining components and finally assemble the Phantom Projector."

"So, Shenma Technology Company will become our key component supplier for the Phantom Projector?"

"Not entirely." Ning Yifan nodded and shook his head.

"I want the Phantom Projector to be sold worldwide under Shenma Technology Company's brand and model!"

"Then, are we becoming Shenma Technology Company's OEM factory?"

"Is this private labeling?"

Ning Yifan still shook his head, "Neither OEM nor private labeling is correct. I will sell you a set of Phantom Projector driver boards, light sources, and the TV System 2.0 for five hundred yuan per set. You will assemble and produce the products, then sell them yourselves, and all the profits will be your company's!"

"You can also view it as you purchasing key components and production equipment from me to sell, but the Phantom Projector equipment must be sold under the name of Shenma Technology products."

"The light sources, driver boards, and TV System 2.0 I provide you cost five hundred yuan. The remaining components for the first-generation Phantom Projector will cost approximately eleven hundred yuan in total. If your large companies produce them yourselves, the cost might even decrease. The final cost will be around sixteen hundred yuan. Our Shenma Technology Company currently sells it for three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan. You can calculate the profit yourselves. For the Phantom Projector Generation 2, the cost of components plus the light source, driver board, and TV System provided by Shenma Technology Company will be around two thousand yuan. For the Phantom Projector Youth Edition, your manufacturing cost will be about eight hundred yuan. For the Phantom Projector Super Edition, your cost will be around four thousand yuan. Within Daxia Country, the selling price will follow Shenma Technology Company's previous pricing. However, in overseas markets, while ensuring we squeeze Samsung out, you can set your own prices. It's fine to charge a bit more to earn money from foreigners."

After looking at each other, the Changhong chairman confirmed, "Our Changhong company is willing to cooperate!"

"Hisense is willing to cooperate!"

"TCL is willing to cooperate!"

"Our company will immediately hold a remote board meeting to approve this cooperation plan!"

"It's profitable, very profitable. I believe no one will refuse!"

With the companies agreeing, Ning Yifan smiled, "Don't agree too quickly. This is just our basic cooperation plan. Beyond this, I have two more requests. First, I need your companies' crisis PR teams to help me expose the truth about Samsung stealing our technology. Second, I need legal teams to sue Samsung."

"That's not a problem, it's all minor stuff!"

"Agreed!"

"No problem!"

The chairmen of the companies expressed their agreement one after another.

In less than an hour, the chairmen of the companies successively passed their board meetings, confirming the preliminary intention to cooperate with Shenma Technology Company.

Next, the companies' professional teams will draft procurement contracts and other related matters.

The chairmen stayed at Shenma Technology Company for a whole day, finalizing the upcoming specific arrangements, and then they returned to their respective companies.

With Shenma Technology Company providing two types of key components and the Phantom Projector TV System 2.0, the Phantom Projectors manufactured by these companies are about to enter the global market!
