Chapter 236: Unspoken Rules
Apple's Trek finally decided to buy eight units instead of four, which made Nikon and Philips deeply satisfied, although the price was almost half cheaper than the price that was first sold to TSMC, but there was no way, who let the negotiator end up becoming the technology giant Apple.
The leadership of the two companies after hearing that the opponent of the negotiation became Apple, for the reduction of the price of the lithography machine, has been fully prepared, the previous way of blackmailing TSMC, in Apple will definitely not work, this period of Apple, the management of parts suppliers has been very strict, later, they have been the foundry company Foxconn in the treasure island, its profits have been depressed by Apple to a very low level, so that Foxconn is called a sweatshop by many workers, for a period of time, workers in order to fight, even do not hesitate to jump off the building to expose its shady。
At present, the industry has been widely known for the low profit of cooperating with Apple, but no matter how much you criticize it, Apple needs a large quantity, which well hides the fact that the unit price profit is low.
Take the lithography machine, TSMC may not update one in a few years, and as a result, as soon as Apple took over, it updated eight at once, which made the two lithography machine manufacturers overjoyed. As a product, your technology content is very high, and the added value is also high, but as long as you can't sell it, it's just a pile of waste.
There were a few hiccups at the end of the contract.
On behalf of Apple, Cui Ke asked for the location of delivery, divided into two batches of four units each, and delivered them separately at the two ports of the treasure island, and what is even more strange is that one is in the Kaohsiung port in the south and the other is in the Keelung port in the north.
What's more, TSMC is located in Taipei's science and technology park, which is very close to Keelung Port, so what is the purpose of shipping to Kaohsiung Port?
As if seeing the doubts of the two companies, Cui Ke coughed lightly and explained, "We are going to build two chip production lines in the south of the treasure island, although they are both on the same island, but the Hualien highway connecting the north and the south, perennial mudslides are frequent, and the transportation is not safe, considering this situation, the company decided to directly transport the lithography machine to Kaohsiung Port is the most convenient." ”
Such an explanation made the people of the two companies suddenly realize. I see, it seems that after TSMC changed owners, it has a lot of money and is ready to expand its production capacity and do a big job.
Think deeper, Apple has a complete industrial chain of hardware and software, except for the central processing unit of the computer with the help of IB and Intel, everything else can be self-sufficient, and now with the chip production line, even IB can be put aside. But with the current production capacity of TSMC, I am afraid it will not be able to meet Apple's needs.
Expanding the production line has also become an inevitable choice for Apple.
The representatives of Nikon and Philips made up the reason for Apple's expansion of the production line on their own, and they didn't care about this matter.
As for the Batumi Committee, which is responsible for reviewing sensitive equipment, the application submitted by Apple was only cursoried and approved.
The so-called Batumi, trial
The object of the investigation is only the companies of the countries on the Sam's Country blacklist, for Apple, what is there to review, besides, no one dares to censor, it is purely self-inflicted.
The only regret is that in order to make the application pass as soon as possible, the former TSMC will use some public relations methods, and everyone is grateful for it, but in the future, it will be replaced by Apple, and there will be no such opportunity to take benefits.
The negotiations ended happily in a peaceful atmosphere.
After seeing off the negotiation teams of the two companies, looking at the distant planes, Trek was at the airport, avoiding his colleagues around him, took out a maritime satellite phone in his briefcase, and dialed it.
"Mr. Zhang, hello, I'm Cui Ke, what you ordered has been done!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then he immediately responded, "Mr. Trek, you are doing a great job, and in five minutes, you will receive a text message on this phone." ”
When Trek heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, very pleasant to cooperate with!"
The phone hangs up.
From the perspective of his subordinates in the distance, the Apple supervisor in charge of purchasing seemed to be in a very anxious mood, walking around in place, and for a while, he raised his arm and looked at his watch several times.
Suddenly, Trek shook and picked up the Inmarsat phone.
"Dear Mr. Trecker, you have received a remittance of one million dollars in your bank account with Credit Suisse, and in view of your good standing with our bank, you have been upgraded to a gold member in the bank, and in the future, the bank will be a personal butler of the bank to advise you on your finances and investments. ”
Trek rubbed his eyes and looked closely, yes, a million dollars. Although he will also have a salary of more than 100,000 US dollars a year in Apple, there is not much left after removing various expenses and advanced consumption, plus the newly found goblin lover, although he has never gotten the tenderness and enjoyment from her, but this woman's excessive demand for money has made him a little unable to bear this heavy economic pressure.
With this million dollars, all these difficulties have been solved.
Although intellectually understands that this transaction is not so simple, what does it have to do with him?
As the largest private shareholder of Apple at present, how dare a middle-level employee like him resist, not to mention, he didn't think about resisting at all, such a compulsion, he likes it, if only he came a few more times.
As the director in charge of purchasing, he knows in his heart that his current position is already his ceiling at Apple, and if he wants to go up, there is basically no way out. When he was a little desperate for the future, the shareholder handed him an olive branch, and he would be a fool if he didn't climb along the branch.
As a negotiator, anything he talks about is not illegal, and that's enough, if something goes wrong in the future, it's also to find a high-ranking person, not him.
People die for money, birds die for food, in the mountains where money is supreme
The same is true of Muslim society.
Picking up the maritime satellite phone, he dialed the bank's audit number, and after entering the account and password, the balance on the account was confirmed to be correct, and it was indeed one million dollars.
He still remembers that when the transaction was negotiated, the other party helped him set up such a top-secret account of UBS, without an account name and password, no one could inquire about the details of this account, and the money was placed on such an account, which was absolutely safe.
A copy of the agreement is required to be filed with Apple. However, to Cui Ke's surprise, his request for archiving was rejected, because according to the new resolution of the company's shareholders' meeting, all the contract texts about TSMC in the future will be retained by TSMC.
So, the text of the contract went around and was finally handed over to the newly appointed Apple representative in TSMC. This representative is a Chinese, and Trek has never seen him at Apple before, maybe he is a recent recruit!
Two days later, a courier from the plaster country house was placed on Zhang Yi's desk, and after seeing this courier from Baodao, Zhang Yi smiled and opened the unopened contract text, and laughed a few times, the kind of conspiracy that succeeded made the secretaries sitting outside tremble.
Could it be that the boss has done something bad again, or does he want to do something to them?
If he really wants to do something to himself, will he ever obey or not?
When he hesitated, he looked up and swept around, only to find several young and beautiful female secretaries, each of whom was busy dressing themselves.
Ahh
The supervisors who were about to report were a little dumbfounded when they saw the unusual behavior of these secretaries.
Could it be that the boss is so powerful that he has given all these clever little cabbages!
Makeup can't be stopped, work can't be stopped, a group of secretaries, those supervisors, temporarily stopped, one by one catwalk, in front of the boss to show their advantages.
For these young and beautiful little secretaries, it is impossible to say that Zhang Yi has no ideas, in the face of beautiful women, which man will not be tempted, of course, maybe Liu Xia Hui and Tang Seng will not be tempted.
It's just that in the previous life, after he saw too many bosses and female secretaries get together, the company was in a miasma, and the disadvantages far outweighed the benefits.
Besides, his girlfriend, any one who comes out, will dump these women a few streets. The most important thing is that these women are so unreserved, to say that they have fallen in love with him as a person, it is pure self-deception, and what they fancy is nothing more than the money in his hand, and he has a clear understanding of this, of course, he is not very interested in them.
"What's the matter, don't you have to go to work? Dressed in fancy clothes, are the models on the catwalk?"
"Alas, alas, what about you, Xiaoling, it's already very big there, it's still crowded, and then squeeze the buttons of your clothes
It was cracked. Xiaohong, your lipstick is so thick, like biting a big sausage, do you like sausages very much? Tomorrow I will ask the master of the cafeteria to give you an oversized sausage, and you will eat it clean in front of everyone! And Xiaoli, why are your eye circles so dark, have you recently fallen in love with pandas, SY is addicted!"
A speech, like a poisonous tongue, sprayed these young little secretaries all over their heads.
The supervisors outside the door listened with great pleasure.
For the first time, everyone also discovered that the young little boss still has such a humorous side.
Only Bai Jie, looking at these little goblins, the cold light flashed.
These little Bichi are too much, and they dare to openly seduce the boss.
Speaking of seduction, her own face is also a little feverish, as a mature woman, when she talks about others, she will also think of herself from time to time, isn't it the same for herself?
The women of the company, except for Bai Jie and special circumstances, Zhang Yi will not provoke any woman and engage in such a thing as unspoken rules, which will bring serious consequences to the company.
