Chapter 447: Not as backward as you thought
After being stunned for seven or eight seconds, Bob finally opened his mouth with difficulty: "Miss Dolucy, you ...... Not kidding, right?"
"Are you kidding?" Dorothy smiled, shaking her head, "My boss, Mr. Fernandez, understands your concerns very well, and he said that you can sign a tiered payment contract according to the custom of the foundry industry. ”
Can you sign a tiered payment contract?!
If at the beginning, Bob Todd, Joe Sullivan and Jack Watts thought Dorothy was joking, but after Dorothy said that they could sign a stepped payment order, the suspicions in the hearts of the three of them were removed by seventy!
Tiered payment order is the standard payment method in the OEM industry, although the payment ratio of each "ladder" can be negotiated according to the specific order, but people are willing to pay in tiers, what else do you have to worry about?
What's more, Garrett 2000 is Fernandez Chen's property, and it is born with Fernandez Chen's credibility as a guarantee!
If it were an unknown small electronics company in Silicon Valley, the three Bobs might weigh it again and again, but ...... This is the property of Fernandez Chen, the fifth most famous super diamond king in the United States, he can't afford to pay?!
With Chen Geng's credibility to take care of it, Jack Watts asked almost impatiently: "So...... Miss Dorothy, I don't know when it is more convenient for you and Mr. Fernández? My partner and I sincerely invite you to visit our company.
Oh, our Flex company is not a big company, but since the day it was established in 1969, we Flex has been rooted in Silicon Valley, serving many high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, in terms of scale, we Flex really can't be compared with giants like Asahi Electric, but we have a good cooperative relationship with many companies in Silicon Valley, and we also have rich electronic manufacturing technology and experience, I guarantee that we Flex can provide you with the most competitive OEM price and the best quality products. ”
As long as Dolucy and Fernand Sken go to Flex for inspection, this first step can be regarded as going out.
But Dorothy looked regretful: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fernandez is not in Silicon Valley right now." ”
"It's okay, Mr. Fernández can ...... whenever it's convenient for you"
"Mr. Fernández has gone to Huaxia," Dolucy herself was also very depressed: "In a short time, I mean, maybe he has no time for the last half a month." ”
“......”
Bob, Joe Sullivan, and Jack Watts were stunned.
........................
"Flex?" When he received the call from Dolucy, Chen Geng, who had just arrived in Huaxia yesterday afternoon, had just finished breakfast and was chatting with Geng Shaojie, who was specially responsible for accompanying him, and Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Dorothy was surprised: "You know this company?"
Yesterday, after Bob and the other three left, he specially asked people to send the information of the minimally invasive company, only to know that the scale of this company is indeed not large, last year's net profit was only more than two million US dollars, but Bob and others did not lie, although the scale of this company is not large, but in Silicon Valley generation is indeed a well-known high-tech electronic foundry company, many board hardware design companies that do not have production capacity will hand over their products to this company to produce, but the boss actually knows this company, which makes Dorothy more surprised。
Of course, Chen Geng would not tell Dorothy that I not only know this company, but also know that this company will become one of the world's three largest foundry giants in the electronics industry alongside Foxconn in the future, and nodded: "Well, I have heard that this company seems to be a little famous in the Silicon Valley generation......
Dorothy was really surprised: the boss really knew about this company?
After a moment of silence, Chen Geng said: "In this way, you go to this company to have a look and inspect on the spot, if their production capacity can meet our requirements, and the price and cooperation methods are satisfactory, it is not impossible to consider them...... In any case, let's take a look first, small and medium-sized OEM companies are more beneficial to us. ”
Dolucy responded, she also thinks so, small and medium-sized electronic foundry enterprises are easier to control, on the contrary, some things are much more troublesome to cooperate with a giant foundry enterprise of the scale of Asahi Electric.
When Chen Geng hung up the phone, Vice Minister Li hesitated and asked cautiously: "Mr. Fernandez, I didn't mean to listen to your phone call on purpose, but...... If I heard me right, is your company going to make computers? It seems that you still have a lot of production capacity in your planning, and you need to find a company to do OEM for you?"
"Hmm," there is nothing to hide, Chen Geng nodded: "We are highly optimistic about the future of personal computers. ”
got a positive answer from Chen Geng's mouth, and Vice Minister Li's heart turned upside down!
According to the information he has, Chen Geng is not only the boss of the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the United States, but also the person who is extremely feared by Ford, General Motors and Chrysler Motors in the United States;
He also knows that he attaches great importance to Chen Geng, otherwise the old man would not have emphasized the need to strengthen the relationship with Chen Geng many times at the meeting;
Chen Geng has a computer software development company, and the operating system produced by this company and the imitation versions of other companies have accounted for more than 90% of the field of personal computer operating systems, but they are going to make computers?!
This is beyond his imagination!
As for the production capacity, although Chen Geng did not say what the specific production capacity is, but looking at it like this, it is clear that it has been acquiesced.
It was Chen Geng, looking at Vice Minister Chen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he smiled and said, "What? Vice Minister Chen, do you have something to say? It doesn't matter, if you have anything to say." ”
Since Chen Gengdu said so, Vice Minister Li did not hesitate, and nodded heavily: "That's the case, what if...... I mean, I don't know if it's inconvenient for us to hand over some of the supporting work? I assure you that we definitely have an advantage over American companies in terms of price. ”
Well?
"This ......" Chen Geng hesitated for a moment: "I haven't thought about this thing...... I don't know much about the domestic electronics industry, Vice Minister Li, what do you think we can do for us in terms of our domestic electronic technology level?"
If some parts can be handed over to domestic enterprises to do, the price is also relatively good, Chen Geng certainly will not mind handing over some accessories and even subsystems to domestic enterprises: compared with the labor in the United States, the domestic labor cost is cheap as if it does not need money.
But Chen Geng's question really stumped Vice Minister Li: Yes, what can domestic enterprises do? After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of something that could be done in China: "Then...... Is the monitor okay?"
Display?!
Chen Geng was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Can it be used as a progressive scan monitor for computers in China?"
Domestic electronic technology is already so advanced ?!
But then again, if China can really produce displays, and there are advantages in terms of price...... Fools don't do it!
"I don't know if we can produce monitors for computers, but we can produce CRTs for televisions......
Before Vice Minister Li's words were finished, Chen Geng couldn't sit still anymore: "Are you sure?"
In the era of picture tubes, the biggest difference between the picture tube for TV and the picture tube for computers is the difference in scanning method and refresh rate (field frequency), the scanning method of the picture tube for TV is interlaced, and the refresh rate is 45Hz, and the scanning method of the picture tube for computer display is progressive scanning, and the refresh rate should reach more than 60Hz.
Theoretically speaking, if a company can produce picture tubes for televisions, even if they have not produced picture tubes for computers, it means that they have the technical potential to produce picture tubes for computers, but the question is, can China picture tubes?
"Yes......"
"Really?"
"I really can!" Vice Minister Li, who also realized that it seemed that the opportunity had come, turned red all over his face: " I have worked in the electronic industry system for more than ten years, and I understand the situation, our country produced the first domestic black and white picture tube as early as 59 years, if I remember correctly, the model seems to be 35SX2B, which should be produced by the Rongcheng red light electron tube factory in Bashu, and by 70 years, the red light electron tube factory has produced our country's first single gun and three beams of 19-inch picture tube, which was praised by Taizu and the central leadership. ”
"Really?" Chen Geng was a little surprised, but also a little skeptical: "Then why are the TVs in our hotel all Dongying branded?"
The TV in his room is a 19-inch color TV from Panasonic, well, without a remote control, the kind that requires manual access to the TV and the front adjustment station.
Vice Minister Li's Lian was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Uh...... To tell the truth, the technical level of basic materials and whole tube assembly production in our country is still relatively limited, and the color picture tube is ...... Well, there is no way to mass produce it for the time being," Speaking of this, Vice Minister Li himself felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shifted the topic from the color picture tube: "However, our country introduced the color picture tube technology from Dongying in 78 years, and the production base is located in Xian@Yang, and the design and production capacity can reach an annual production of 960,000 14 and 22-inch color picture tubes, which will be accepted and put into production at the end of next year according to the plan."
In addition, in 79 years, the Modu Bulb Factory introduced a black and white picture tube production line from Dongying, which can produce 1 million 1 million 12-inch and 14-inch black and white picture tubes per year, and it can be put into production this year......
Mr. Chen, the technology of these picture tubes introduced by our country is the average level of similar products in the world, do you think?"
Looking at Chen Geng, Vice Minister Li looked eager.
