Chapter Eighty-Six: Cold Welcome
In the 90s, Wanwan can be said to be the leader in the main board market, and the proportion of motherboards from Wanwan in the world's motherboard shipments is more than ninety.
A large number of familiar names ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Shengji, Elite, Meijie...... Take any one out, they are all well-known big brands.
What Wang Anran needs to do now is to seek the support of these motherboard manufacturers.
Founded in 1987 and located in Neihu Science and Technology Park, Wanbei City, Elite ECS has grown into the third largest industry giant in terms of shipments to the main board of Wanwan in 1994.
In the living room, Wang Anran, who had been waiting for half an hour, asked Zhang Lei suspiciously.
"Huaxin Technology's corporate letter, did the other party receive it? Is it a mistake in time?"
Zhang Lei shook his head, looked back and saw the photocopy of the letter, and then said: "Mr. Wang, can I confirm that we and Elite Technology are about half past two today to discuss cooperation, I don't know why, their person in charge has not appeared yet?"
Zhang Lei stood up and walked to the front desk, "Miss Shang, it's three o'clock now, can you help ask, when is Mr. Xiang free." ”
Shang Luo at the front desk hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, Mr. Xiang's office just called, he is in a meeting now, and it will take a little time." ”
Wang Anran also held back his anger after listening to Zhang Lei's report, but since he came, it didn't matter if he waited a while.
Another half an hour later, Wang Anran said to Zhang Lei: "Xiao Lei, you go and ask again, what's going on!"
As soon as Zhang Lei came out of the door of the living room, he saw Shang Luo trotting all the way over, followed by a young man in a straight suit.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, I've kept you waiting for a long time, Mr. Xiang still needs a little time, this is Xia Hui from our Ministry of Commerce, Mr. Xiang arranged for him to communicate with you first. ”
Xia Hui nodded to Zhang Lei, walked straight to the living room, and sat down in front of Wang Anran with a big grin.
Wang Anran stood up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Wang Anran, general manager of Huaxin Technology, may I ask who you are?"
Xia Hui also stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Xia Hui, the commissioner of the Commerce Department of Elite Computer Company. ”
Wang Anran was stunned for a moment, a big boss of his own came over, and your elite technology sent a commissioner from the Ministry of Commerce, which is too.
As a senior engineering man, Wang Anran's joys, sorrows and sorrows were all on his face, and he immediately said: "Commissioner Xia, what we are going to talk about next, about the cooperation between Huaxin Technology and Elite Computer, can you do it?"
Xia Hui was also stunned, although he is a commissioner, it is not the first time he has contacted manufacturers on the mainland, don't look at those people on the other side of the strait, this is always and that is total, in fact, the income is a little higher than usual, from this point of view, his salary can throw them eight streets.
Besides, it has always been mainland enterprises begging for their cooperation, and it is the first time Xia Hui has seen him talk like this.
Xia Hui coughed a little dissatisfied, and said: "Mr. Wang, I came to represent Mr. Xiang, within the scope of 1 million authority, I can make a decision, and then go through a company process." ”
Wang Anran said casually: "What about 10 million, dollars!"
Xia Hui was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Mr. Wang, I really don't know what to say, do you know? The poster published by Huaxin Technology in the newspaper is a joke in the semiconductor industry on Bay Island, do you know why?"
Wang Anran stood up, he didn't want to waste time here, Zhang Lei on the side stared at Xia Hui and said, "Why?"
Xia Hui shook his head and said, "I think Elite Computer is not the only computer company you visited!"
"So what?"
Xia Hui smiled, put on a look of seeing through the world, and said: "Your deception is too superficial, first advertise in the newspaper that you have world-class technology, and then go to various manufacturers to deceive, but you can register a European and American company, pretending to be a Chinese-American to invest in the Bay."
The cost of registering a mainland company is too low!"
"What happened to mainland companies?"
"Hey, I don't understand what I say, let's take an analogy, the development of semiconductors in Wanwan has entered the industrial civilization, the semiconductor development in Europe and the United States has entered the electrical civilization, and the mainland, hehe, your semiconductors are still in a primitive society.
You say that people in primitive societies say that they have built aircraft carriers, is it possible? Do you say that it is possible?"
Zhang Lei's face turned red when he was excited, and his voice became louder unconsciously.
"Then why did you agree to meet with us?"
"Hehe, I don't know about this, I guess the manager wants to see what kind of person dares to brag such a big cowhide. ”
Wang Anran shook his head, the matter was not discussed, he was sulky, waved his hand to Zhang Lei, signaled not to say any more, turned his head to Xia Hui and said, "Commissioner Xia, can you confirm that Mr. Xiang can't come?"
Xia Hui nodded in affirmation.
Wang Anran smiled and said: "Commissioner Xia, please tell Mr. Xiang, just say that Wang has resigned, and please tell him, the next time you suspect something, you might as well calm down first, observe first, or have a different judgment......
............
On the car back, Zhang Lei was angry.
"Mr. Wang, it's too much, how can the companies in Bay Island be so virtuous, and the previous TSMC is also like this, looking like they ignore it. ”
Wang Anran shrugged his shoulders and said, "But it's sorted out now!"
Wang Anran remembered what Ma Shoufu said: Today you ignore me, and tomorrow I will make you unclimbable.
After returning to the hotel, Wang Anran gathered all the people who went out to negotiate for a meeting, and found that the attitudes of the major manufacturers were surprisingly consistent.
The only good news is that there is a manufacturer called Panying EPOX that is quite patient, and after watching the demo of the representative, he is very enthusiastic about cooperating with Huaxin Technology.
"Mr. Wang, Guo Huaisheng, general manager of Panying EPOX, plans to entertain you in the evening, I don't know if you have time. ”
Available, of course.
Wang Anran knows something about Panying, although this company is not as good as ASUS and MSI in the board industry on Bay Island.
In terms of quality, it is still reliable, and a "solid as a rock" advertising slogan has once swept the country.
Moreover, this company has a lot of innovative ability, and pioneered the motherboard Debug automatic error detection lamp, Q-boot boot, and motherboard lightning protection and other technologies in the motherboard industry, which once became the object of imitation by major first-line brands, which is extremely rare in the board industry.
"Zhang Lei, you can also participate, we finally met someone who reasoned with us, we have to express our enthusiasm!"
Wang Anran stood up and looked down on the entire Wanbei, in front of him, there was a pool of stagnant water, to see if his cross-river dragon could stir up a storm in the Banka realm of Wanwan.
