Chapter 446: The pie is a bit heavy
After a moment's hesitation, Bob said, "It's a lot of trouble, but it doesn't seem to be a reason for you to give up this business......"
Before Bob could finish speaking, Mike interrupted him, "Who said our boss was going to give up this business?"
“......”
Bob looked at Mike in a daze, almost pointing at Mike's nose and scolding: Didn't you say that?
"I've never said that our boss won't take this business, just kidding! Even if it's the lowest 100,000 units, it's a business that's almost hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention 400,000 units, even if there is only half of it in the end, only 200,000 units, that's a big business of 200 million dollars, do you think our boss will not do it?"
That's right!
Bob only then reacted that compared with household appliances such as TVs and video tape players, the annual output of 100,000 units is indeed small and pitiful, but for high-tech and high-value electronic products such as personal computers, although the final order price of a single unit varies according to the specific configuration, even if it is a "simple electronic toy" like Apple's Apple II The OEM price is not less than 850 US dollars, and if the configuration is higher, the OEM price is more than 1000 US dollars / unit It is really easy.
1,000 US dollars a unit, 100,000 units is 100 million, 200,000 units is 200 million, such a big business, even if the CEO of Asahi Electric is kicked by a donkey and does not want to take this business, the shareholders of Asahi Electric will also change to a CEO with a good brain.
But then the question also comes, what is the OEM business of Asahi Electric for Garrett 2000?
"I might as well tell you that Asahi Electric actually wants to do this business very much," for the sake of 100,000 US dollars, Mike really knows everything and says everything: "Not only Asahi Den, but Jabil and Visteon are also looking at this order for Garrett 2000...... That's a net profit of about $500 to $7 million!
Speaking of this, Mike couldn't help but shake his head: "You don't know whether to arrange a production capacity of 100,000 or 200,000, 300,000 or 400,000 for Garrett 2000 Company, in this case, in order to ensure your own interests, Asahi Electric can only increase its own offer, otherwise what else can you do?"
I see!
This time Bob really understood that Asahi Electric, Jabil and Visteon all wanted to win the order of Garrett 2000, but the fluctuation of Garrett 2000's order was too strong, so in order to ensure their own interests, Asahi Electric, Jabil and Visteon no longer followed a basic principle of the foundry industry when dealing with this order: the larger the foundry quantity, the lower the price, but raised the price.
Obviously, in the face of this situation, Garrett 2000 is not happy: the more OEM I give you, the higher the OEM price?!
Because of this, the negotiations between the two sides, or Garrett 2000, and Jabil, Asahi and Visteon, were deadlocked, and Mike, the bastard, saw that it was profitable, so he sold the news to himself for $100,000.
To Bob's dismay, he found that he really seemed to have to pay the $100,000.
For Flex, the significance of this order for Garrett 2000 is too important, not only to mean millions or even tens of millions of dollars in gross profit per year, with this order, Flex has a fixed big partner, and has the opportunity to become bigger and stronger, instead of relying on small orders that several giants disdain to live like now......
"So......" Looking at Bob, Mike stretched out his finger and pointed to the small lockbox in the passenger seat and smiled, "Bob, if you don't mind......"
Bob waved his hand and motioned for Mike to get the money and get out...... 100,000 dollars, he was very distressed.
........................
When Bob rushed back to the company, the company's other two shareholders, Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts, were already waiting — yes, pitiful, a few years later, Flextronics, second only to Foxconn and Pegatron combined, was now only a private company with only three shareholders.
"Bob, what's going on?" Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts hurriedly greeted him, and asked eagerly, "You say there's a big business, but what kind of big business is it?"
Bob took a deep breath: "A contract for the OEM of up to 400,000 personal computers a year, do you think it's a big deal?"
"What?!"
"400,000 PCs?!"
Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts blew up in an instant!
It's not because this news is a huge Li Hao for Flex, but it's also a company that is messing around in Silicon Valley, Flex occasionally takes on a little bit of OEM personal computer to board and other hardware work, although each order is not large, but it also means that they know and understand the market of personal computers, and also know what 400,000 personal computers mean. Watts felt that Bob had been deceived nine times out of ten: this is 400,000 personal computers, and in the entire history of Silicon Valley, no company has ever sold so many personal computer products, not even IBM's 5100 and 5120 combined......
Aside from Bob being deceived, Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts couldn't find any other possibility.
"Hey, hey...... Workers, I know your worries, and I used to have the same worries as you, but you'll know when I hear me," Bob raised his hand and motioned to his two partners to be calm, waiting for him to finish: "The number of this order has not yet been determined, roughly between 100,000 and 400,000, and the most important thing is ......"
Met with the skeptical gazes of Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts, Bob said, "This is an order for Garrett 2000." ”
Garrett 2000 order?
Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts glanced at each other, and the two of them were suddenly a little excited: if it was Garrett 2000's order...... Well, it doesn't seem that the situation is so bad, it seems to have a little credibility......
Joe Sullivan said urgently, "Bob, what the hell is going on?"
"Yes, Bob, what the hell is going on, how did you know about this?" asked Jack Watts.
Hiding his relationship with Mike, Bob roughly introduced the situation, and when Bob finished speaking, Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't believe that there was really such a big pie on their heads: could this really be true?
"Is it true, just ask Garrett 2000?" Bob said.
Wake up the dreamer with a word!
As a small and medium-sized electronic foundry company, they do not have the qualifications to pick and choose from giants such as Jabil and Xudian, Flex must seize every opportunity to survive, whether this is true or not, go to Garrett 2000 and ask it, isn't it true......?
The opportunity for Flex to develop is here!
..............................
Bob, Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts not only have the slightest slackness, they know that not only do they have news channels in Jabil and Asahi Electric, but other small and medium-sized electronic foundries also have their own news channels, and even those bastards who sell news to Flex turn around and sell the same news to others, and they must go to Garrett 2000 as soon as possible to verify this matter.
After confirming their identities, it was Dorothy who came to receive them, and in the face of Bob's question, Dorocy did not hesitate, and seemed not to be surprised at all why the three of them knew about this, and nodded happily: "Yes, Garrett 2000 does have a plan to develop a personal computer." ”
“......”
Bob, Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts looked at each other quickly, and there was some surprise in their eyes: it was real!
Bob said, "Lady Dorothy, I have a question......
"You say. ”
"I heard about this order from your company...... How many hundreds of thousands?" asked Bob cautiously.
After getting through the initial excitement, on the way here, the three people who calmed down finally realized the inappropriateness of this matter: Garrett 2000 is the first time to make a whole machine, according to normal logic, it should not be a safe way, first place an order of one or two thousand units to test the water? No matter how confident they are in their own products, as an emerging enterprise, an order of 5,000 units is considered to be the top of the sky, an order of 100,000 units......
It's incomprehensible no matter how you think about it.
In the electronic foundry industry, when we launch a new product, the usual practice is to place a small order to the foundry company, the purpose is to test the market's reaction, if the market response is good, and then sign an OEM agreement with the foundry company in batches, how can there be so many orders at one time? Or is it their own understanding of Garrett 2000's foundry?
That's right, it must be like this.
But after hearing Bob's words, Dolucy's cheek couldn't help but twitch: "Of course not so much." ”
Hearing Dolucy's words, the three Bobs breathed a sigh of relief: sure enough, they had misunderstood.
"If we reach an agreement, the foundry company will have to provide Garrett with 100,000 complete machines within half a month. ”
“......”
Bob was stunned!
Joe Sullivan was stunned!
Jack Watts was also stunned!
Provide 100,000 complete machines in half a month?!
Did I hear it wrong? Did I hear it wrong? Or did I hear it wrong?
The three of you look at me, I look at you, and the same question arises in my heart:
hat the Vaco?!
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Looking at the expressions of the three Bobs, Dorcy felt bitter, and she couldn't wait to look up to the sky and shout: When I don't know that business doesn't do this? But that's what the big boss asks, what can I do? What do you think I can do?
Yes?!
