"It is estimated that the factory in Shenhai City will be completed by July, and the equipment placed on the Hutchison dock will be ready for shipment. He Guoyuan said: "But the later debugging may take longer. ”

"Try to hurry up, but you can't ignore the quality because of urgency, and the debugging of the production line should be stable. Xu Zhi nodded and said. Although the production line of color TV is not as good as that of some heavy industries, it is not something that can be done by a few simple factories, which involves a large number of plumbing, drainage systems, circuit design, and so on.

The fundamental reason is that when the RCA factory in Taiwan was relocated, all the internal architectural drawings and circuits, waterways, and pipeline designs were brought out, plus a large number of relevant photos to assist, the Shenhai Special Zone side is based on these materials, directly copy a copy of it, and then the construction engineers will make slight modifications according to the actual situation in the mainland, which saves a lot of time to build the factory.

However, after the factory is in place, there is no way to debug the subsequent production line, but considering that a large number of employees are not familiar with the work at that time, it can be regarded as giving a buffer time!

Xu Zhi continued: "Fortune thinks that the TV business will be a burden to us, to a certain extent, it makes sense, $2 billion in sales, a loss of 5% is $100 million, plus when I first acquired it, I also signed a contract with the U.S. government that will not lay off employees within two years, so we can't put all our hopes on the Shenhai City factory, after all, it may take two years to wait for this factory to fully produce!"

He Guoyuan asked: "Then Xu Sheng means that we want to lower the price of the OEM?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, Bled was in a hurry to find a few suppliers because he was too anxious, and the price he paid was too great, but he was quite smart, he just signed a one-year contract, and now it has been more than half a year, and it will expire soon, you have to pay more attention to this area and strive to change a few cheaper foundries." ”

"I've thought about that, too. He Guoyuan said: "Now the main foundry of color TV is Thomson in France, Samsung Electronics in South Korea, and NEC in Japan, which have signed a one-year OEM agreement with us, of which Thomson's foundry cost in France is the highest, we purchased their company's color TV, and sold one at a loss of 10 US dollars, and the contract signed by Brad was a supply agreement of 600,000 units a year, just this company, we have to lose 6 million US dollars. ”

"In order to maintain market share, there is no way to do this, otherwise in such a short period of time, no company can suddenly increase the production of three or four million more units. Xu Zhi smiled and said: "What's more, it's only a year, compared to our acquisition of the entire RCA TV business, this loss is just a drop in the bucket." ”

"That's just as well. He Guoyuan smiled, Midea only spent 450 million US dollars to win such a big business, if under normal circumstances, it is impossible not to double, and it depends on whether people sell it or not.

Xu Zhi asked, "What is the situation between this Samsung and us now?"

He Guoyuan replied: "Samsung is a big brand company in South Korea, almost no international popularity 10 years ago, but in recent years, their black and white TV business is said to have been the world's first, and the color home appliance business has also developed rapidly, last year RCA found Samsung's branch in the United States, negotiated this OEM agreement, Samsung gave the lowest offer, even we will not lose money at this price, but there is no profit!"

If it weren't for Samsung's inability to immediately increase its production capacity by 3 million units, I'm afraid it would have been able to get all the orders from RCA!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "In other words, the original Samsung didn't actually fall into the ground?"

He Guoyuan thought for a while and said: "That's true, I asked the lawyer in charge of the negotiation at the time, Samsung's intention at that time was to spend a year to adjust the domestic production line, and then the next year to win all the orders of RCA at the right price, it is said that Brad at that time was also very optimistic about this plan, he may have known that the pollution of Wanwan ** is difficult to solve, so he intends to reach a long-term cooperation with Samsung, but I didn't expect that the entire company would be acquired in the future, and the cooperation plan between RCA and Samsung was lost." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "This plan is actually very good, Samsung is very ambitious and wants to win long-term orders, so I don't care if RCA can be slaughtered in this first year." ”

He Guoyuan said: "Yes, and the current labor cost in South Korea is not too high, according to the current contract price, Samsung should also have some profits, if you can get long-term and stable orders, the profits will be more, in the long run, Samsung's choice is correct." ”

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "You will find all the current information of Samsung, including the development process, the current scale, business areas, market share, current senior management, etc., I want to know more about the details you want to find!"

He Guoyuan asked: "Xu Sheng is very optimistic about this company?"

"Yes, being able to do not start hard when RCA was difficult at the beginning shows that they are looking for long-term cooperation, and they can give up their immediate interests and think about the long-term, and this kind of company is a good partner to work with. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It will take a while for the Shenhai City factory to be able to produce normally on a large scale, and we still need an OEM company like Samsung, but the price should still be pressed, as for the foundries in France and Japan, they can be replaced, and you can find a few suitable suppliers in Southeast Asia." ”

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to contact my colleague in South Korea later. He Guoyuan nodded in agreement.

"Go ahead, bring me Samsung's information early. Xu Zhi smiled and waved his hand.

After He Guoyuan left the office, Xu Zhi began to ponder, in the field of electronics, the current Samsung is still just a baby in the entire international market, the main products are still black and white TVs and some household appliances, and it has not been too long to work in the color TV market.

But Xu Zhike knows that in the future, this company will break out with terrifying lethality, and the second generation of leaders has seized the contradiction between the United States and Japan in the field of semiconductors, and took advantage of the collapse of the Japanese economy to launch a counter-cyclical price war and successfully defeated the entire Japanese semiconductor.

Now he suddenly knows that Samsung actually has a cooperative relationship with his own company, which makes it difficult for him to decide how to deal with this matter for a while.

"Ding Ding Ding ......" The voice of the phone interrupted Xu Zhi's contemplation, Xu Zhi picked up the microphone and said, "Hey, who is it?"
