Chapter 1148: Ultra-low cost
"Mr. Fujio, this is our invitation letter from the Shenzhen Municipal Government, and please keep this handwritten letter I wrote to your chairman, please be sure to hand it over to your chairman himself. ”
Two days later, when Fujio was about to leave China and return to Japan, Duan Yun personally sent him to the airport, accompanied by his wife Cheng Qingyan and chief engineer Zhao Xuewu.
During the two days that Fujio lived in the product R&D center, he established a good friendship with the old professors in the R&D center, relying on Li Yun to act as a translator in the middle, and Zhao Xuewu and others also learned a lot of the current international advanced microelectronics technology from Fujio.
Although Fujio did not tell them the core secrets of the latest chip technology for the protection of the company's trade secrets, the exchanges in the past two days still benefited Zhao Xuewu and others a lot, especially in the field of chip integration, Zhao Xuewu and others' understanding of this aspect has been further improved.
And this is exactly the result that Duan Yun wants.
Because if the matter of Toshiba and Tianyin Electronics Factory is implemented, then Duan Yun can continue to be handed over to Zhao Xuewu and others in charge of the technical aspects of the new factory.
"Okay, I will definitely hand over Duan Jun's letter to our chairman. Fujio took the letter and invitation from Duan Yun by hand with a solemn face, and gently stuffed it into the pocket of his suit's underwear.
"I wish you a smooth journey!" Zhao Xuewu also said at this time.
"Zhao Jun, let's have a chance to meet again in the future!" Fujio said, hugging Zhao Xuewu gently.
Compared with Duan Yun, Zhao Xuewu is a peer of Fujio Masuoka, and Zhao Xuewu is a few years older than the other party, but in terms of academics, the two are equal, and Fujio Masuoka is better than Zhao Xuewu in microelectronics.
After coming to China twice, Fujio Masuoka also made a lot of friends in Tianyin Electronics Factory, which he never expected before, because his original purpose in China was just to negotiate business.
Then, after a few simple greetings, under the eyes of Duan Yun and others, Fujio Masuoka entered the terminal with his luggage.
"It would be nice if Mr. Fujio could stay in our factory......" Zhao Xuewu said with emotion.
"He'll come again......" Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "But next time he comes, his identity may be the technical representative of Toshiba Electronics." ”
"Is it possible for Toshiba to accept our conditions?" asked Cheng Qingyan suspiciously.
Cheng Qingyan has learned that Toshiba's offer for the production line is 100 million US dollars, and Duan Yun directly cut this price in half to 50 million, in Cheng Qingyan's opinion, Toshiba Group is almost unlikely to accept this condition.
As Japan's home appliance giant, Toshiba's top management is the guest of honor of the local government no matter where it is in China, and everyone hopes that companies like Toshi can invest in factories in their own jurisdictional cities, especially in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.
In addition, from the bottom of her heart, Cheng Qingyan is also reluctant to let her husband spend so much money to transform into the production of flash memory chips, even if it is half price of $50 million, it is enough to completely hollow out the Tianyin Electronics Factory, and if it is not good, it will owe a lot of loans to the bank, making them change from the richest man in the city to the "first loser" in the city overnight.
Cheng Qingyan is already very satisfied with her current life, Tianyin Electronics Factory is now making enough money for them to spend for several lifetimes, if you stand, you can't spend all the flowers you are lying down, and there is no need to risk any more chip industry.
But Duan Yun is the head of the family at home, and although Cheng Qingyan has different opinions, Duan Yun has the right to make decisions on major matters.
However, in Cheng Qingyan's view, there is a chance that the matter of setting up a joint venture factory with Toshiba of Japan will not be negotiated, and the production line of 100 million US dollars has been cut to 50 million US dollars.
"Who can say for sure?" Duan Yun spread his hands and continued: "It depends on what Toshiba's top management thinks, if they don't want to, I can't do anything." ”
"In fact, the sales of our Walkman have always been very good, and there is no need to open a joint venture with Japan to open a chip factory, and they sell the production line to us at a high price, and if they don't pay a penny, they will account for 49% of the shares, and we will suffer too much loss......," Cheng Qingyan said.
"Shall we suffer?" Duan Yun laughed when he heard this, and said: "In fact, even if they sell us for 100 million US dollars for a set of production lines, we have picked up a huge bargain, don't you know the value of this kind of chip......"
"No matter how valuable the chip is, can the profit be compared to the walkman we produce?" Cheng Qingyan said with some disapproval.
"Okay, let's not talk about this in advance, whether the joint venture factory can be a success, we still have to increase the sales of the Walkman during this time. Duan Yun thought for a moment, then turned his head to Zhao Xuewu on the other side and said, "Master Zhao, how is the sample of our Walkman at the Canton Fair?"
"The sample is made, but I feel a little ...... quality" Zhao Xuewu frowned when he said this, only to hear him continue: "According to your requirements, we have reduced the cost of this Walkman, all the internal transmission gears are hardened plastic, and the shell has been replaced with a plastic shell, the function is just a simple single machine, in addition, this kind of machine is more power-consuming, in the past, the two No. 5 batteries of the Walkman produced by our factory can be stopped for about 18 hours, and the new product will run out of power after listening to eight or nine hours at most......"
"How much does this Walkman cost?" Duan Yun asked directly.
"It's probably about 13 cheaper than our current colorful walkman, and if some process improvements are carried out and mass production, it can be even cheaper, and it is estimated that the final cost can be reduced to ......about 120 yuan," Zhao Xuewu thought for a while and said.
"Very good!" Duan Yun smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
"But Manager Duan, if this product is used for export, I think the reputation should be very poor, and compared with the Japanese Walkman, the performance is too far behind......" Zhao Xuewu said with a frown.
Zhao Xuewu is a very honest and honest person, he always feels that it is irresponsible to sell such inferior products to consumers, especially when they are sold abroad, and it is a shame for Chinese products.
"Master Zhao, you just need to give me the samples to make them, and you don't have to worry about business matters. Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "A penny for a penny, everyone understands this truth, foreigners come to our China to buy, the most important thing is the word cheap, as long as our price is low enough, they must have a way to sell things, and they can make a full bowl, next year they will come to our factory to order, as for foreign consumers...... After this batch of goods is exported, we don't need to go abroad Walkman, who will remember which Chinese manufacturer produced this product?"
