Chapter 122: Let's Make It Ourselves
Tang Gang emphasized: "The price that these two suppliers are willing to provide is one-third lower than what you give! ”
Ishikawa Takushi remained calm and said: "As far as I know, because of the recent battery incident in the mobile phone market, the production lines of these two battery suppliers are at full capacity, and you will have to wait at least a few months to place an order." ”
"In addition, if you want a new lithium battery that matches HX1, you must come up with a new design scheme. At present, we are the best choice to provide safe, stable and powerful lithium batteries. These require technical costs, production costs, so the markup is also reasonable. ”
What he said also makes sense, the mobile phone battery problem in the past two years has made mobile phone companies more vigilant and pay special attention to safety.
Not to mention small brand battery suppliers, even large battery suppliers, there will be some problems.
The negotiation continued, Tang Gang couldn't get any bargains, and Ishikawa Zhuo refused to lose a penny, as if he had eaten them.
Then talking about the problem of lithium batteries for mobile phones, Heiichi Nishimura came up with a plan for the use of lithium batteries.
After reading it, Yao Li immediately frowned and said, "Mr. Nishimura, this lithium battery, the performance parameters are wrong." It's not what we wanted. ”
Nishimura Heiichi said in a non-standard Chinese: "This is the most suitable lithium battery for your Hongxin mobile phone, using the latest battery technology of our Fujipei!"
Yao Li did not give up and continued to ask: "What we want is the standard lithium battery that you provide to Panasonic Group's electronic products. What you give now, is significantly lower. ”
Taku Ishikawa said, "That's not what I said. What we are giving now is more powerful than the lithium batteries you are using now. As for the battery you mentioned for the Panasonic Group, it is specially customized by the Panasonic Group, and this cannot be provided for the time being. ”
Tang Gang was immediately dissatisfied, and he said unhappily: "In other words, we have to spend an extra fifty percent of the price to buy your products that are one grade lower?" Mr. Ishikawa, if this is the case, then we will not be able to cooperate!"
Ishikawa squinted, not angry. Before coming, their company had already investigated. Now Hongxin mobile phones are facing battery problems, and they are the most suitable choice, so he has nothing to fear.
Unless Hongxin continues to cooperate with the previous battery supplier and reduce the brand reputation.
Ishikawa Zhuo said calmly: "Mr. Tang can think about it again, the lithium battery for this mobile phone we can provide must be stronger than the performance you are using now." ”
"Don't think about it!" At this time, Lu Zixin on the side couldn't listen anymore. And increase the price, and do not provide the best products, when they are wronged?
Several people looked at him, and Lu Zixin said simply: "Since you can't cooperate, then so be it." ”
Ishikawa Zhuo was suddenly a little surprised, this Lu Yan had not spoken just now, and now he directly vetoed them as soon as he spoke.
He asked, "Don't you want to replace the more powerful battery parts?"
"Of course, but we have more options. Lu Zixin said.
Ishikawa shook his head and said, "With all due respect, other battery suppliers really can't compare to us. ”
"Not necessarily. Lu Zixin snorted, "Your battery technology is not the most advanced. We can also make batteries ourselves. ”
Lu Zixin didn't want to be so troublesome, but he found it more difficult to find the right battery supplier. And Hongxin wants to launch other black technology products, and the battery is one of the keys.
Whether it's a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet, or any other electronic product, it must rely on batteries. Since the cooperation is not cost-effective, he simply built it himself, and he already has relevant technical information.
Hearing Lu Zixin's words, Tang Gang and Yao Li were a little stunned, making their own batteries? Do they have that technology?
Ishikawa Zhuo laughed even more and said, "Mr. Lu is really good at laughing. Battery technology is a completely different field. ”
"It's that Hongxin is really willing to spend money to manufacture, and the products I want to make are not necessarily better than your current batteries. If something goes wrong, it's more than worth the cost. ”
"This is a matter of our red letter, and we naturally have a way. Lu Zixin didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
Ishikawa Zhuo smiled, "In that case, let's stop for today's discussion." If you still want to cooperate, we will still be on this condition and will not change. ”
With that, he and Nishimura left with Heichi Nishimura. Out of Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, Nishimura Heiichi asked in Japanese: "Ishikawa-kun, does Hongxin really want to make its own batteries?"
Ishikawa shook his head and said, "Impossible." If the battery is not as high as the performance of other battery suppliers, they will also lose money. ”
"Then why did Lu Yan of Hongxin say that?" Nishimura Heiichi was puzzled.
"Of course, it's for bargaining!" Ishikawa said confidently, "The Chinese just like to play these little tricks, and they think that by doing so, they will make us take the initiative to lower the price." But I've seen through it a long time ago!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long before Hongxin will come to us to negotiate. When the time comes, our Fujidaira battery will still be at this price, or that battery, depending on whether they want it or not!"
Nishimura Heiichi admired: "It's still Ishikawa-kun who understands the Chinese people better." ”
Inside Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., after the negotiation representative of Fujidaira Battery left. Tang Gang and Yao Li were also puzzled and asked Lu Zixin: "Mr. Lu, if we reject Fujipei Battery, we really can't find a suitable supplier in a short period of time, and continue to cooperate with the previous supplier?"
"Didn't I say it? Lu Zixin said seriously.
"What? We don't have that technology!" Tang Gang was startled, he originally thought that Lu Zixin was joking, and hurriedly said: "Now that research and development will take a few years to achieve some results, to say the least." ”
"Unless we buy mature technology or cooperate with existing battery suppliers, but this does not guarantee that we will be able to develop high-performance batteries. ”
Yao Li also said: "It is too difficult to build it yourself. Even if we don't cooperate with Fujidaira Battery, we can find other suppliers, and there are several new energy companies in China that can also try to cooperate with them. In addition, there are several suppliers in Baodao, and the battery performance is also okay. ”
Lu Zixin smiled and asked, "You know the lithium-air battery, right?
"Lithium-air battery?" Yao Li remembered as soon as he heard it, and immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, how can we make this thing?"
