Chapter 457: Chapter 457: The Great Commander’s Cell Phone Business

If this business is really carried out, not only will I be blamed, but I can only earn a meager compensation fee.

But considering the special status of the company’s boss,

This is what makes Schaefer very hesitant.

If we take on this business, then making a profit is out of the question, at best we will have someone owe us a favor.

But whether such a favor is reliable or not when we actually need it in the future is unknown.

"Let’s do it this way." After thinking through the connections, Chen Yiyang said to Schaefer.

"You set up a company on your side, and I will introduce several low-cost smartphone component suppliers to you.

We can export the components to Europe under the normal export procedures, and then you find a fall guy over in Europe to be responsible for shipping the components from Europe to the United States. This way, even if something happens in the future, there will be someone to take the blame."

"Alright, that’s a method." Schaefer said after hearing Chen Yiyang’s idea.

It seems fairly reliable.

Even if something happens in the future, Huaxia won’t be able to find any clues, and in Europe, as long as I find someone to take the blame, it’s fine.

As for the favor from the Great Commander, Chen Yiyang doesn’t want to be involved at all.

Ever since he went to the United States and nearly got caught, he decided never to go there again.

So the favor from the Great Commander is of no use to him.

Chen Yiyang himself doesn’t quite understand the business of supplying smartphone components.

But Lei Jun does.

Coincidentally, Lei Jun helped Qian Du mediate, which means he owes me a favor.

So Chen Yiyang sent the configuration list to Lei Jun, asking if he could get in touch with cheap component suppliers.

After all, the phone is priced at only 499 US Dollars, but the components must first be shipped from Huaxia to Europe, and then from Europe to the United States.

That’s nearly a trip around the world, and the shipping costs aren’t cheap.

Shortly after sending the configuration list, Lei Jun called to inquire.

"Are you planning to enter the smartphone market? But the specs are so outdated."

"Outdated? It’s not too bad," Chen Yiyang joked, "I’m planning to sell this phone for 499 US Dollars. What do you think?"

"If you really sell it at this price, the sales of this phone might not even exceed the sales of the Gree phone with Ms. Dong’s face on the screen."

Chen Yiyang was amused by Lei Jun’s words.

Apparently, the bet between Gree and Rice back then left quite an impression on Lei Jun.

I didn’t expect that Lei Jun would still mock about Gree making phones now.

"This phone is for a foreign manufacturer. Can you help me find the lowest price for the specs?"

"Getting the lowest price shouldn’t be a problem, but even our budget brand, Redmi’s low-end specs, wouldn’t use it. I’ll help you find a supplier, but you’ll have to negotiate yourself."

"No problem." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Lei Jun’s side moved quite fast.

He sent a technician to coordinate with Chen Yiyang, and soon found a supplier willing to provide components at a low price.

Chen Yiyang sent the received price list to Schaefer.

"These prices are way too low," Schaefer exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the prices.

"If we can supply at this price and ship to the United States, we could still make a small profit."

"Then remember to give me a share of the profits," Chen Yiyang immediately said.

"Sure, let’s split it fifty-fifty," Schaefer wasn’t stingy, and immediately agreed on a profit-sharing plan with Chen Yiyang.

Of course, another reason for Schaefer’s generosity is the uncertainty of how long such an obviously dodgy brand can survive.

The Great Commander only has one term, and this phone brand lasting till the end of his term would be lucky enough.

So both considered it a one-shot deal.

After wrapping things up with Schaefer,

Chen Yiyang also took a look at the information sent by his assistant about the brain-computer interface company.

When Chen Yiyang first saw the brain-computer interface investment opportunity and was so surprised that even Zhang Yuling playing Chicken Dinner noticed something was wrong,

The main reason was that Chen Yiyang was previously a cyberpunk game enthusiast.

In his perception, the technology of brain-computer interfaces, which involves drilling directly into the human brain, would take at least several decades to develop results.

So he was quite shocked to discover that this opportunity was related to brain-computer interfaces.

However, according to the information sent by his assistant, this brain-computer interface technology is not too distant from their current era.

Brain-computer interfaces refer to the creation of direct connections between the human or animal brain and external devices, enabling the exchange of information between the brain and the device.

As we know, human rise owes a lot to the fact that, in addition to a brain, humans have nimble hands that help them create various tools.

In the information age, one hand on the mouse and one hand on the keyboard have maximized human work efficiency.

But those who have worked at a computer for long periods have noticed that having only two hands is limiting.

Most of the time, human work progress is hindered by just having two hands.

For instance, while drawing, writing novels, or coding programs.

If computers could directly input the content imagined in the human mind,

human work speed could be increased by tens of times.

Brain-computer interfaces were conceived under such imaginative possibilities.

In 2003, the world’s first non-human primate invasive brain-computer interface experiment was successful.

This proved that the concept of brain-computer interfaces indeed holds research potential.

Soon after, related clinical work began unfolding.

By 2005, a company in the United States had obtained permission to conduct the first human brain-computer interface experiment.

A quadriplegic patient became the first successful case.

He used an invasive brain-computer interface to control the operation of a mechanical arm and computer cursor, among other things.

Domestic approval for related experiments followed quickly.

Ji Nao Technology is the company Chen Yiyang learned about from the intelligence of the investment discovery.

This company has also been approved to conduct human trials.

Of course, such trials are extremely costly.

Primarily because finding suitable test subjects is quite challenging.

For drug tests, even some healthy individuals might be willing to try for money.

After all, even if these drugs adversely affect the body, the impact might not be immediately apparent.

However, drilling a hole in one’s skull to install mechanical devices usually results in most people refusing instantly.

Even though scientific progress is great,

A considerable number of unlucky individuals have been sacrificed in the process of scientific advancement.

For instance, Cao Cao, who was nearly subjected to skull trepanation by Hua Tuo,

Even if he had agreed at the time, in the bacteria-concept-lacking ancient times, after having his skull opened, his illness might be cured, but the possibility of dying from bacterial infection remains uncertain.
