Chapter 110 Cooperation Mode
What he didn't know was that this equipment was built with the goal of achieving extreme accuracy in signal transmission.

For ultrasonic signals to act on the human brain, there cannot be any error.

Although Lei Jun and other Xiaomi executives don’t know much about music, they can definitely tell the good from the bad.

At their level of wealth, the headphones, speakers, and cars they buy are all very high-end. It is no exaggeration to describe the sound quality of these devices as top-notch.

You should know that traditional sound transmission equipment will try to use multiple sound sources to create a stereo effect, in this way to ensure that the sound transmission is as accurate and true as possible.

Now the device is a mono device, and because mono sound compresses the audio elements together, it sounds flatter and has less detail.

Especially when listening to music, which is usually recorded and mixed in stereo.

The music playback effect of mono channel can never be compared with that of multi-channel.

But now they see a mono device that can transmit sound with the fidelity of top-notch speakers.

Leehom was much more excited than he showed, because this equipment allowed him to see the possibility of another breakthrough.

When recording an album, singers need to record it many times and then choose the one in which they sing best.

Before the formal recording, I will listen to the songs I have sung repeatedly to think about where I can improve.

Now with better equipment, he can capture his weaknesses in singing more accurately. It is like a system that can make you stronger if you work hard, and you can see what you did and make some improvements.

For a singer of his level, it is very likely to improve his singing skills.

Lei Jun was also very excited. This is an era of high transparency and automobile suppliers are very transparent.

Especially electric cars, each gasoline car manufacturer has its own unique features, such as transmission, engine, and chassis, but the unique features of electric cars are much simpler and can be purchased.

Precisely because technology can be purchased from suppliers, a large number of companies have entered the automotive industry since the advent of the electric car era.

In order to achieve a breakthrough, you must have technology that others cannot achieve. This set of sound equipment can become one of Xiaomi Automobile's trump cards for breaking through to the high-end market.

Chen Yuanguang said: "Yes, when we were studying this type of crystal we wanted to be absolutely accurate.

The absolute accuracy of sound capture and the accuracy of converting sound waves into electrical signals using the piezoelectric effect are exponentially improved compared to traditional materials.

The same principle applies to the inverse piezoelectric effect, which is the process of converting electrical signals into sound waves, and its transmission is extremely precise.

This is just the effect of a single device. When the time comes, we will optimize it according to the requirements of the speakers to create a larger and richer overall sound field, and its sound expression effect will be more exaggerated. "

After inspecting the goods, everyone felt more confident.

Xiaomi Auto executives felt that this was a sure thing.

In the past two years, Ideal has become the only profitable company among NIO, Xiaopeng and Li Auto, making a fortune from the L series. They certainly know that this is due to their extremely precise positioning.

Xiaomi Auto’s executives naturally do not think that the Ideal L series’s huge sales are due to marketing, extended-range technology, and other things. Its good sales are entirely based on the fact that the daddy car market was previously dominated by large luxury brands.

The dad cars from large luxury brands often start at RMB 500,000 or 600,000, but Ideal offers them lower prices and a better experience.

This also shows that Chinese consumers' demand for audio and video is real and they are willing to pay for this function.

If Xiaomi can achieve 120 points in other aspects and points in audio and video and experience, then it will be an absolutely competitive product.

With a price of 500,000 yuan, there is definitely no shortage of market for such a product in China.

"Everyone can go to the tea room of Guangjia Technology to take a rest. Then I will talk to you alone about cooperation." Chen Yuanguang arranged as the host.

Lihong couldn't hold it in any longer, "Mr. Chen, may I ask when this equipment will be available on the market?
I like it so much."

Chen Yuanguang said: "I am not sure either, because it is still a laboratory product. Large-scale mass production requires too many steps. I cannot give you an accurate time now."

Leehom was helpless: "That's such a pity."

Chen Yuanguang said: "But if you want to use it, there may be opportunities later."

Leehom quickly took over the conversation: "Then I'll be waiting for your good news at any time."

Chen Yuanguang nodded, then took Lei Jun out of the laboratory.

"Junior brother, today is an eye-opener for me. This sound equipment gave me a pleasant surprise.

It will bring an explosive selling point to Xiaomi Auto. We will think about what to call it later and come up with a high-end definition. "Lei Jun seemed to be several years younger.

Chen Yuanguang could feel Lei Jun's excitement from his expression. It was as if he had been given a shot of cardiotonic and he couldn't calm down at all.

He is also very curious about what kind of car Xiaomi can make with these technologies.

Guangjia Aerospace is just one of the suppliers. Even if it becomes one of the shareholders, the success or failure of Xiaomi's car manufacturing will not have much impact on them.

Investing 500 million yuan for a 20% stake is not a loss at all, unless Xiaomi's car manufacturing business is like Faraday Future or Evergrande Auto.

“Right, actually it’s a byproduct of our research on aerospace communication materials. After testing, we found that its properties are very suitable for use in speakers.

Moreover, Xiaomi has experience in making audio equipment and can fully explore the potential of this new material.

If the car is equipped with multi-channel speakers, the effect will be even more amazing." Chen Yuanguang said.

"Xiaomi needs time to research car models, and we also need time to mass-produce this material."

Lei Jun said: “Okay, in the initial testing phase, we still need a lot of cooperation between us.

As for the cooperation method, will it still be as we said yesterday, 5 million RMB for % of the shares?"

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Okay, then we will sign a five-year exclusive technology licensing agreement, which will only be limited to the automotive field."

Lei Jun thought for a moment and said, "Five years is too short. Starting from today, Xiaomi Auto will not be launched until next year at the earliest."

Chen Yuanguang said: "Renewal when it expires, second term of three years?"

Chinese law stipulates that exclusive licensing agreements for this type of technology can only be signed for a maximum of five years.

Lei Jun knew that permanent exclusivity was impossible, and eight years was enough. "Okay."

He then asked, "Is it Light Armor Aerospace that signed with us or Light Armor Technology?"

These two entities are different. Guangjia Technology needs to be approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, but Guangjia Aerospace has the final say.

Chen Yuanguang's main consideration was that this technology would be used in human hibernation equipment in the future, and placing it in Guangjia Aerospace would be suspected of damaging the interests of corporate investors.

"Guangjia Technology, the news of the listed company has just been announced, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the listing of Xiaomi Automobile." Chen Yuanguang said.

Lei Jun was relieved because Guangjia Aerospace was included in the list by American, but Guangjia Technology was not. Guangjia Technology added American to its own list.

Guangjia Technology's investment will not affect Xiaomi's auto exports, although Xiaomi's auto exports to the American market are limited.

"Okay, it's a deal." Chen Yuanguang continued, "Also, Wang just mentioned that he hopes to buy our equipment.

It suddenly occurred to me that Xiaomi could use it as a preheating tool before its launch.

Doesn't Xiaomi have so many stores across the country? Consumers have no idea how good this new sound device is. They can only feel it intuitively by listening to it with their ears.

Why not have all Xiaomi stores nationwide prepare this device a week before the launch, and then play music to give everyone the most direct impact? "

Lei Jun thought, this is a good idea. It is not as direct as playing the song directly even if you say it a thousand times at the press conference.

"Good idea, I think it's okay."

Chen Yuanguang then asked, "When we were chatting before, you said that it would be released next year. Next year is the Year of the Dragon, so it's a good opportunity for Wang to sing Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth. That song is quite suitable, and it can be played every day."

Lei Jun smiled and said, “No problem, it’s a good opportunity for consumers to come to the concert for free.

In the second half of the year, I will contact the singers and the orchestra to record music.”

"Guangjia Technology announces that the company may be involved in the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers, Mergers and Share Buybacks and the inside information provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Section 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and major events under Rule 13.09 (1) of the Securities Listing Rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited, in order to ensure fair information disclosure."

Simply put, Guangjia Technology has been suspended for two trading days.

At the same time, Xiaomi’s shares in Hong Kong were also suspended.

Ever since Lei Jun and Chen Yuanguang reached an agreement, there have been rumors in Lujiazui that Guangjia Technology is going to acquire a stake in Xiaomi Auto.

Because the executives of Xiaomi and Guangjia Technology are also human beings, they also have various relationships. After knowing that Guangjia Technology has invested in Xiaomi Auto, they will naturally leak the news.

Guangjia Technology was suspended from trading, and the announcement clearly pointed out that it was related to Hong Kong, which put an end to the rumors.

"Dad, how many Xiaomi stocks did you buy?" Lin Jia went back home once a month on average. The last time she went back, she told Lin Qinghua the great news that Guangjia Technology was going to join hands with Xiaomi to build cars.

Lin Qinghua stretched out his hands and counted: "About 20 million."

Lin Jia was surprised and asked, "So many?

What if it falls? "

Lin Qinghua waved his hand: "How could it possibly fall?

The cooperation between Guangjia Technology and Xiaomi may not be a good thing for Guangjia Technology. Instead, it will be regarded as not doing its job properly and spending energy on non-core businesses.

But it is definitely a major positive for Xiaomi, and there will definitely be an influx of southbound funds after the opening.

What does Xiaomi lack in making cars? It has supply chain, funds, user accumulation, and brand accumulation, but the only thing it lacks is technology.

As a rare technology-based company in the A-share market, Guangjia Technology has a good personal image.
The empowerment you provide to Xiaomi Auto will definitely have a very strong positive effect.

This is also the first time that Yuanguang has entered the To C business, which can effectively increase consumers’ willingness to buy.”

Lin Qinghua saw it very clearly.

Lin Jia thought that he was being too idealistic: "The more this is the case, the easier it is for people to attack you.

The electric vehicle industry is already cruel enough, and Xiaomi's cross-border car manufacturing has already attracted the attention of many car companies, so these companies are definitely paying more attention.

By then, there will definitely be all kinds of negative publicity.

I can imagine that a company that makes people sleep is also making cars. What if you hibernate while driving, then the tram will become a funeral tram.

That libation."

Lin Jia drew a line in the air with his slender fingers.

Lin Qinghua was amused by his daughter, "Haha, you think too much.

What you are saying is that in the long run, this is an entrepreneurial mindset, not a stock trading mindset.

The stock market only looks at expectations and sentiment. Now the sentiment is optimistic, and everyone thinks that Xiaomi has a good chance of making cars.

Sentiment determines whether it goes up or down.”

Lin Jia then asked: "Remember to keep your operations concealed, otherwise it will be considered insider trading."

Lin Qinghua waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've been in the martial arts world for so many years, so I have some skills.

I operated it using a private equity fund that your mother bought. Your mother was the only investor in that private equity fund, and the shareholders of the private equity fund were our distant relatives.

And the amount purchased was not much, only 20 million.

Since you are not optimistic about Xiaomi and Guangjia Technology making cars, you can bring it up with Yuanguang. "

Lin Jia sat upright on the sofa, with a standard sitting posture, his back straight, his hands on his knees, and said slowly:
“I give suggestions and Yuanguang makes the decisions.

He thought it was possible and didn’t cost much, so he decided to give it a try. ”

Lin Qinghua said: "This is a good thing. It is a good thing for young people to want to make trouble.

You can't be as lifeless as us old guys when you're only in your early twenties, right?

When Xiaomi Motors goes public, I will call on all of our Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce to support it.”

Although Lin Qinghua is unknown nationwide, as a tycoon with a billionaire's fortune, he still has some reputation in Hangzhou and even in Zhejiang Province.

After Chen Yuanguang's rocket-like rise, Lin Qinghua has become more prestigious. It is not easy for each generation to be stronger than the previous one.

"I thank you on behalf of Lei Jun. Yuanguang doesn't want to build cars, but to find a way out for Guangjia Aerospace's future business."

Lin Jia briefly explained that in the future, Guangjia Aerospace will use the minerals mined in automobiles.

Lin Qinghua slapped his thigh fiercely: "This is not difficult. In addition to being used in luxury cars, it can also be used in luxury home decoration. The light armor aerospace will give you the feeling of the stars and the sea.

How likely do you think it is to mine on asteroids?
I always thought Yuan Guang was just talking."

Lin Jia explained: “I also thought it was just talk before.

Since last year, I have been taking some professional courses at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Jiaotong University. Now I have a new understanding. It is definitely difficult, and there are countless difficulties to overcome.

But it is not to the point where it cannot be done, and the plan formulated within Guangjia Aerospace is very clear, which goals should be achieved and what level should be reached in each time period.

Perovskite batteries are the result of this plan.”
