Feiyang New Materials is making electronic-grade PI films? Isn't this nonsense?

The provincial capital of southern Fujian Province, R\u0026D Department of TIM Company.

After hanging up the phone with Jiang Xinyi, Xu Yan murmured to himself, not believing it at all.

He believed that Jiang Xinyi was, after all, the apprentice of an old colleague, and he had seen her. She was indeed a smart girl who did practical things. However, this belief lies in the professional technology of mobile phone glass, not in the manufacturing of raw materials, especially electronic grade PI film.

How many years?

Xu Yan himself has been in the industry for more than 20 years, not to mention the years before he entered this industry. For more than half a century, electronic-grade PI films have always been imported from foreign countries.

TIM is a large group company and state-owned enterprise. It is a large-scale display screen manufacturing enterprise established by Aviation Technology International Holding Company under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China and jointly with many local state-owned enterprises and investment banks. It is located in Pengcheng, Minnan, Hero City, and Tianfu. There have been large-scale investments in cities and other places to build and put into production various mobile phone glass production lines. The fourth generation, fifth generation, fifth and fifth generation, and now the most advanced sixth generation OLED have been successfully put into production.

Xu Yan is the R\u0026D director of Minnan Company, a subsidiary of TIM Group. He is mainly responsible for the R\u0026D and manufacturing of fourth- and fifth-generation mobile phone glass, conventional mobile phone glass screens, and current mid-to-high-end water drop screens, beauty tip screens, pole screens, and pill screens. Wait, most of them have been produced.

Xu Yan is very familiar with the raw materials of these mobile phone glasses. The electronic-grade PI films used are basically imported. Only those extremely low-end mobile phone glasses and those industrial control and medical display glasses will be used in domestic products. PI film, and often produces a lot of problems, causing headaches for everyone in the company.

Feiyang New Materials is developing electronic-grade PI films, but Xu Yan doesn't agree with it.

Well, yes, Feiyang Optics can produce FY-01, an optical material with perfect performance. I heard that it exceeds the performance of polymer optical films made by King Materials, but this is different from electronic grade PI film.

How long has it been since Feiyang New Materials was founded?

It should take no more than half a year to fully calculate. Xu Yan has no idea, but his guess is that there is none. This means that it is impossible to develop a new electronic-grade PI film.

Quite simply, not enough time!

The development time for any new material is at least more than half a year, which is still a very ideal situation.

Design, proofing, verification, small batch trial production, etc., a series of steps. Among them, I don’t know how long it will take just for the design and proofing stages.

With inspiration and experience, I designed it quickly. If you have experience but no inspiration, it may even be impossible in your lifetime.

However, he still asked Jiang Xinyi to send her some samples, but he still had to keep his posture low so that his old colleagues would not find out and take advantage of him.

As for the results, the worst case scenario is that the performance will not work after testing.

Mr. Xu, the PI film material for the double-hole screen has not arrived yet. This small batch shipment to Wheat is expected to be delayed.

After casually dealing with Jiang Xinyi, Xu Yan put the matter behind him and started busy with the work at hand. Zhao Lin, the head of the organization department of the aviation technology international holding company of the head company, would come to inspect the work of the company the day after tomorrow. , he had to prepare some information in advance.

As a state-owned enterprise, what we pay attention to is an organization.

The arrival of the Organization Minister is a bigger deal than anything else. In the final analysis, he and all TIM Group employees must be under the jurisdiction of the Organization Minister.

However, an accident interrupted his steps. One of his R\u0026D managers hurried into his office and reported bad news to him.

Xu Yan suddenly felt helpless: Why hasn't it arrived yet? How many times is this this month?

Most of the PI films purchased by TIM Group, electronic grade PI films are imported from Tianfeng Chemical, a small part is purchased from Wangzhe Materials Company, and only a very small part of PI films are purchased from some domestic companies. Here, TIM Group deals directly with Tianfeng Chemical and Wangzhe Materials Company, not through agents, which is different from many other companies.

Of course, this is almost a universal rule for very large group companies.

During this period, I don’t know what happened, but Tianfeng Chemical’s material delivery was delayed several times, which caused the trial production of many of their projects to be delayed, seriously affecting the progress of customer development, and they were criticized several times.

The R\u0026D manager said with a dissatisfied look: Who knows what happened to those guys who had a good life in childhood? I have been urging them this month, just because I am afraid of delay. They have always promised well, saying that there will be no problem, no problem. Thinking it was about to be delivered, they suddenly said sorry, there was something abnormal about the goods and the delivery would be postponed.”

Xu Yan asked: Did they say what the reason was? It's impossible not to deliver the goods for no reason, right?

The R\u0026D manager shook his head and replied: They did not give me a clear answer. They only mentioned that they have been strictly restricting shipments recently. I guess it has something to do with the recent sanctions.

Sanctions?

Xu Yan was startled, frowned and said: If this is the case, then there is really nothing we can do. But this is a bit outrageous, and the sanctions are only Feiyang Optics, so why are we still implicated?

The R\u0026D manager under him sneered: If you ask me, this Tianfeng Chemical is doing it on purpose. Maybe they will start to raise prices. They are used to this kind of trick. Some time ago, they even raised prices under the pretext of an earthquake.

Hearing this, Xu Yan looked helpless and didn't know what to say.

The R\u0026D manager mentioned the price increase, and he complained a few times to the company's leadership at the time.

Just last month, Tianfeng Chemical had an earthquake where its production plant was located. The next day, it used the excuse that the production capacity of electronic-grade PI films was affected, so it wanted to increase prices, and then sent a price increase letter to all customers. client. Regardless of whether you have paid a deposit or not, as long as the goods have not been delivered, the price will be increased and you must pay at the latest price or make a new payment.

As soon as the price increase letter came out, mobile phone glass manufacturing giants including TIM, BE, HE, etc. were furious.

Damn, I’ve seen prices rise before, but I’ve never seen you raise prices like this. This is simply a money grab!

But there is no way. No matter how they communicate and protest like these mobile phone glass manufacturing giants, it will not help. Even if they have to go up, they will ask you if you want it?

King Materials also exports electronic-grade PI films, but its production capacity cannot satisfy all customers. Most of its production capacity is still in the hands of Tianfeng Chemical.

In the end, they had to accept the price increase letter from Tianfeng Chemical and pay obediently.

Now, the speculation of this R\u0026D manager may be true. The real purpose of Tianfeng Chemical is probably to increase prices.

Xu Yan thought for a while and made such a guess.

It is also the case that domestic material manufacturers are not living up to expectations. As long as there is one company that can produce electronic-grade PI films in batches, we will not be so passive.

The R\u0026D manager under him couldn't help but complain.

Replacement?

Xu Yan's heart moved, and he subconsciously thought of Jiang Xinyi's phone call just now: How about you become a living doctor and try it after receiving the materials?
