Chapter 468: A Huge Price Difference
When Chen Geng got up to run as usual the next morning, he and Bob "bumped in" very coincidentally.
Looking at Bob Todd, who was sweating profusely and running with a fat body, Chen Geng couldn't help but tease: "Mr. Todd, you also like to run?"
"Yes, I like to run," Bob also worked hard for business, and he said to Chen Geng seriously: "My blood pressure is a little high, and my doctor told me that running can effectively lower my blood pressure." β
Chen Geng: "......"
It's kind of.
Since Bob wants to "meet" him, how can he do it without paying a price?
For Chen Geng, who has long been accustomed to running and exercising for an hour every day, this speed is nothing, and it can even be classified as jogging, but for Bob Todd, who is pampered and fat all day, this is simply about to die, just one minute, Bob Todd began to pant for breath, and after two minutes of hard work, he was panting like a bellows, and before waiting for three minutes, Bob Todd's white shirt was already soaked...... Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart: Running out in a shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, you are also a talent.
Looking at Bob Todd, who couldn't breathe, Chen Geng simply stopped and said with a teasing face: "Mr. Todd, it seems that what your doctor said is very reasonable, you are really extremely lacking in exercise." β
"Yes...... Yes...... "Poor Bob Todd, just a few minutes of hard work has been out of breath, looking no different from a dead dog, if it weren't for Chen Geng's change from jogging to fast walking, it is estimated that he would have slipped directly to the ground at this time: "Doctor...... The doctor has ...... Makes sense......"
Seeing Bob Todd who was fighting for business, Chen Geng felt a little sympathy for him, shook his head, and simply changed to walk fast and slowly, lest Bob Todd's heart of the overweight Bob Todd couldn't stand the stimulation of the ups and downs: "Mr. Todd, I know why you came, to be honest, I like people who work hard, for the sake of you chasing from the United States to China so desperately, then I am willing to give you this opportunity, as long as your conditions satisfy me, I can hand over this business to you." β
Bob Todd didn't speak, but he wasn't tired and out of breath, but the whole person was stunned: Chen Geng said...... Is he willing to give himself this chance?
It took more than ten seconds for Bob Todd to react, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, so that he couldn't say anything: "Mr. Fernandez...... Rest assured, I ...... I assure you that we will do our best to meet your conditions and requirements......"
"Don't be so excited," Chen Geng made a gesture and motioned to Bob Todd to calm down first: "I'm willing to give you this opportunity, but whether we can reach a final cooperation depends on the results of our negotiations...... I might as well remind you that some of our conditions may be more demanding. β
Hearing Cai Chen Geng's words, Bob Todd finally calmed down: Yes, Mr. FernΓ‘ndez is right, he is willing to talk to himself, but whether the cooperation between the two sides can be reached depends on the final outcome of the negotiations...... If this business will make you lose money, it will definitely not be done.
Bob Todd, who calmed down, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fernandez, I believe you already know very well about our Flex situation, we are a small and medium-sized electronic product OEM company, we do not shy away from this, I know that our production capacity and strength are not comparable to giants such as Jabil and Asahi Electric, but please rest assured, I dare to assure you that if you choose to cooperate with us, you will definitely be able to get a lower price than Asahi and Jabil." β
"Of course the price is important, but it's not the most important thing, hmm......" Chen Geng waved his hand: "Do you know that what we need is a very flexible order?"
"Yes, I know," Bob Todd nodded immediately, "That's why Asahi and Jabil are reluctant to take your order." β
"Hah...... It seems that you know a lot," Chen Geng also smiled, and immediately, his smile suddenly closed: "So, an order of 100,000 to 400,000 computers in a year, are you sure that such a large order is flexible, can you do it?"
"I swear, we can do it. Bob Todd said without hesitation.
Chen Geng shook his head: "You can't just talk about it......"
"Of course," without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Bob Todd knew what Chen Geng's worries were: "We will definitely provide you with a complete set of supply plans for raw materials and electronic accessories for your analysis, and I guarantee that as long as your payment is in place, we will have absolutely no problem with Visteon." β
Chen Geng nodded.
Bob Todd's approach is the practice of the electronic foundry industry, or rather, the patent of a strong partner, just like Apple and Foxconn, you Foxconn don't show me the entire supply plan you signed with upstream suppliers to increase the supply volume and reduce the supply volume under what circumstances, how do I know if you can complete the order I gave you according to my requirements with quality and quantity on time?
"OK," since Bob Todd dared to promise that he would be able to guarantee the completion of an order of 100,000 computers or an order of 400,000 yuan, then Chen Geng would no longer be entangled in this, anyway, someone was responsible for the specific negotiation work, he answered, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Todd, which company made the CRT you used to make computers for people before? RAC or General Electric?"
"It's mostly RCA," Bob Todd said honestly, "and GE's imaging is less useful. β
"Oh, what is the price of a 9-inch black and white monitor picture tube, how much is the price of the product, and what is the price of a complete monitor?"
Chen Geng's problem is a bit sensitive, for any electronic foundry, they are sensitive to the price of the goods they get from upstream manufacturers: although everyone knows that the price is between XXX US dollars and XXX US dollars, even the price difference of a picture tube is five US dollars, which will have a great impact on the final profit of the manufacturer.
But Bob Todd really wanted to make this order for Garrett 2000, he hesitated, and said to Chen Geng honestly: "RCA's condition for our OEM is that every 1,000 units are sold, and the price is $128, and the price can be cheaper by $3 without increasing the price of 1,000 units, and if it exceeds 5,000 units, you can get a super large customer price of $110."
As for the final finished product price, a 9-inch monochrome monitor will cost between $190 and $210, but ......"
Speaking of this, thinking that no PC manufacturer had given such a large order before, Bob Todd gritted his teeth: "If you can really get an order of more than 100,000 units, I will give you 180 ...... $176 price. β
Chen Geng didn't speak, he was a little confused: a 9-inch progressive scan black and white picture tube, RCA and General Electric are quoted as much as $128?
He remembered clearly that Secretary Li personally assured himself that the black-and-white CRT production line imported from Dongying NEC in Jinmen would not exceed $45 per 12-inch black-and-white CRT and $50 per 14-inch LBT after it could be supplied in the future!
Of course, this also includes the shipping and customs fees in the United States, but even so, the CIF price of a 12-inch progressive black-and-white picture tube in the United States will not exceed $50, and in the US market, the price of a 9-inch progressive scan picture tube is as high as $128!
Chen Geng's heart jumped with a puff.
He suddenly thought of another thing, if it didn't have his own appearance, Flex would have moved to Singapore about this year, relying on the rapid development of this wave of Asian economy, Flex has become one of the world's top ten OEMs in a short period of time, and also acquired Asahi Electric, which can only be looked up to now......
Taking a deep breath, Chen Geng said to Bob Todd: "Todd, if I tell you that in Huaxia, it only costs $45 to purchase a 12-inch monitor CRT, would you believe it or not?"
"Mr. Fernandez, you're not joking with me, are you?" Bob Todd's eyes were about to pop out, but he was not surprised by this price, but looked at Chen Geng with a surprised face: "Can Huaxia produce CRT?"
Bob Todd's reaction did not surprise Chen Geng, he nodded: "There are three relatively large picture tube manufacturers in Huaxia now, with an annual production capacity of 960,000 color picture tubes, 1 million black and white picture tubes and 720,000 respectively, if you are interested, I believe that the Huaxia government will be very happy to take you to investigate." β
"Unbelievable!"
When Chen Geng said this, Bob Todd couldn't believe it, didn't listen to Chen Geng, you are welcome to investigate, everyone is welcome to investigate, what else do you have to doubt......?
This is the production capacity of 2.68 million picture tubes, and Bob Todd really can't digest and accept it.
Looking at Bob Todd's face with shock and disbelief, Chen Geng smiled slightly: Where is this, if you are told that in a few years, the annual production capacity of Huaxia CRT will reach an astonishing more than 20 million, I don't know if you will be scared?
Although Chen Geng doesn't remember exactly what year it is, after all, he is not from the home appliance industry, but the time period is probably the late 80s and early 90s, when the output of Huaxia picture tubes jumped to the first place in the world, and then it never fell.
Bob Todd, who had finally barely digested and absorbed this information, finally reacted, he suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Geng, and said excitedly: "Mr. Fernandez, what do you mean......"
