Midday. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the small room of the leaders of the canteen of Ahri Baba Company, Zhang Wei and Ma Yun were eating, the food was not bad, and the two of them made two meat and two vegetables plus a soup.

Ma Yun pretended to complain: "I just helped you work hard to prepare to sell two million mobile phones, but you still let me go back to the canteen to eat lunch?"

"Hey, the traditional Chinese virtue of diligence and thrift cannot be lost. Zhang Wei opened his mouth and said casually, in fact, he also wanted to see how the life of Ahri Baba employees was, after all, Ma Yun expressed his willingness to delegate power in the morning, and he always had to care about it.

"That's right. Ma Yun agreed: "No matter how rich you are, you must be strict with yourself." ”

Zhang Wei finished eating and said: "Okay, I'll go back first, you go to Nokia to sign a contract as soon as possible, you must add my name to the contract, don't play word games with Finnish Maozi." ”

Ma Yun stood up, "Okay, I know, I'll send you back." ”

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said: "No, I'll call the driver to pick me up, you promised to sell two million copies, and I also want to make some achievements, at least get the mobile phone out quickly, the material dealer should find everything, and it can't be delayed for too long." ”

Since the mobile phone is developed on its own side, then the material supplier must also be looking for Zhang Wei, which has been written in the contract, and the price limit of each material is clearly marked, and the contract will be signed with Nokia after it is found.

When he walked out, Ma Yun thought of something and said, "Then do you also help with advertising about our Ahri Baba consignment sales?"

"No problem. Zhang Wei immediately agreed, "I will mention it when I wait for the new product launch, in addition, the preliminary publicity will also be carried out, let's talk about the specific details, I am still a little busy here." ”

Ma Yun said: "Okay. ”

The money you can make on Nokia this time is not just a commission, but there are other aspects.

In terms of chips, leave it to your own people.

Housing material?

Other configurations: Find the original partner.

What is the kickback Zhang Wei disdains to take, but with so many material configurations, he can make the rules of the game, isn't Nokia President Elop embarrassed himself? Then I have to be embarrassed on my sideNokia, for example, the chip designed by Zhang Wei, you must get the goods from that supplier, the technical aspects are provided by him, if you don't get the goods from the designated supplier, then I'm sorry, you can't get it elsewhere;

This time, Zhang Wei wants to play a big game by developing a mobile phone for Nokia, if it happens, he can play like this in the future, the mobile phone has not been made and has been sold out of 2 million units, Nokia has nothing to say, right? Although the cost is very low, it does not mean that the material configuration will be shoddy, who said that low prices cannot make good mobile phones?

Leave it to Freescale!

The shell is made of polycarbonate!

The display is made of silicon substrate and ultra-thin ultra-flat tempered glass!

As for the price of these materials...... Of course, it won't be too expensive, because now many mobile phone manufacturers don't expect that some cheap materials are used in mobile phones, and the effect is no worse than expensive materials!

Just walked out of Ahri Baba company and waited at the intersection.

The mobile phone rang, Zhang Wei saw that it was a cold number, and picked it up casually, but he didn't expect it to be Yaoyao who spoke.

"Hello?"

"Zhang Wei. ”

"What, Yaoyao. ”

"I'm so bored here, come back quickly. ”

"If you are really bored, you and Sister Leng will go home first? I'm still a little busy here, by the way, have you eaten lunch? ”

"Okay. ”

"You want to listen to Sister Leng, you know?"

"Got it. ”

After explaining a few sentences to Yaoyao, Zhang Wei picked up his mobile phone and turned up the number while waiting for the driver to pick him up, he was not ready to meet the R&D room for the time being, and he had the confidence to sell two million units, so he naturally had to select all the raw materials while it was hot, and then let the designers thoroughly develop and test the mobile phone.

Who to contact first?

Why don't you find a familiar one first?

It will take a while to talk about the price of unfamiliar estimates, although it is good to pit Nokia, but the cost cannot be high, after all, a large share will be drawn from it in the future.

Zhang Wei thought about how to negotiate later, originally when these were preparing to develop Nokia 3310, he thought about contacting, but at that time the material had not been determined, so it could not be contacted, and now the consignment has also gone out, and the material has been determined, Zhang Wei has to do something, for example, use some cheap materials that others dare not use!

Reach out the phone and dial.

Galvin- Zhang Wei decided to talk to the chairman of Motorola in person, although Freescale is a split subsidiary, but it may involve the production of countless chips, so it must be negotiated with the top executive, the price can be pressed down as much as possible, Motorola's chip in this era did not say, that is a supergiant that can compete with Intel, so Zhang Wei rest assured, now the mobile phone chip is not as troublesome as the later generations, the future generations are divided into countless chips, and now only one integrated chip is needed to make a single-chip microcomputer, but this monolithic integrated circuit is very important, involving the normal operation of the mobile phone, once the integrated circuit fails, the mobile phone is basically finishedand had to pay attention.

Doot-to-doo-

The call was answered.

"Hey, Wei?" Galvin, chairman of Motorola, answered the phone, listening to the voice and listening to the song, as if it was a very old American imperialist country music, "I turned off the music and got ready to sleep." ”

It's late at night.

After a moment, Galvin said, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Wei said: "Why don't you go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow?"

"It's okay, you can say it. "Galvin is a good talker.

Zhang Wei thought about it for a moment and said, "You also know that I am developing a new mobile phone for Nokia, right?"

"I know, or I nodded. Galvin said: "I was going to call and ask how the research and development went, are you really going to make such a cheap mobile phone?"

"Well, are you optimistic about the future?" asked Zhang Wei.

Galvin smiled: "To tell the truth, I'm quite optimistic about the real low-end market, I don't know how this mobile phone sales can be, but I know that the real low-end market will definitely go forward, and the current mobile phone industry price is not healthy for a long time, I must be optimistic about this mobile phone." ”

Zhang Weile said: "Mr. Galvin, you can't just talk about it, do you want to express it?"

Galvin was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Wei to hit the snake with a stick, "What do you want to say? What kind of technology do you want from my mobile phone? As long as it doesn't involve company secrets, you can discuss it." ”

Zhang Wei denied: "No, I want to make a deal with you, and the chip will be handed over to Freescale to do, what do you think?"

Galvin was surprised, "Oh? Why did you think of handing it over to Freescale? There are many excellent chip manufacturers in the world, but Freescale has not yet been fully established, and if it is done in the name of Freescale, in fact, it can only be handed over to the existing semiconductor department of our company." ”

Zhang Wei said: "In the name of Freescale, as for why we are looking for you to cooperate, on the one hand, we have had several times of cooperation more pleasantly, on the other hand, Motorola's chip is famous in the world, is a good signboard, you just imagine, if I make this mobile phone is a big seller, then everyone knows that Freescale's chip is very good?

Galvin smiled bitterly: "How do I feel that you are tempting me? But there are pros and cons, if the Nokia mobile phone is sold well, it will inevitably have some impact on the Motorola mobile phone, to be honest, it is difficult for me to make a decision in my heart." ”

Zhang Wei said: "You can rest assured of this, if Nokia really presses your company out of breath, then after I enter the mobile phone industry, I can also create a mobile phone that is not inferior to or even surpasses this, I can assure you, I have a lot of ideas in my head, didn't you start cooperating with me for this purpose? I have promised you, so, if I cooperate with Freescale, I only have one request, the chip price should be given a conscience price." ”

Galvin: "......"

Zhang Wei continued to pressurize: "If you don't agree, if I continue to make a joint venture brand with Nokia, Motorola may really not be able to turn over at that time." ”

Hearing this, Galvin was also happy, "You little guy, I kind of understand, come to threaten me?"

Zhang Weihan said: "No, no, you think too much, what do you think of what I just told you?"

There was silence for a while, and Galvin said: "You've told me to this point, I can't refuse, and Freescale really needs a project that needs to be a hit, okay, I agreed." ”

Zhang Weixi smiled, "Okay, in terms of price?"

Galvin smiled dumbly and said: "The price will definitely be lower than other chip manufacturers, as for how much lower, I still have to see what kind of chip you make to decide." ”

"No matter what kind of chip is made for the time being, how much cheaper can it be than outside? Zhang Wei explained honestly.

Galvin thought for a moment and said, "Twenty percent of the base." ”

Zhang Wei was very satisfied, "So much is enough, tomorrow I will have someone fax the chip design drawings to your company." ”

"Well, I'll give you a specific quote then. Galvin said.

The two chatted a few more words, nothing more than about the development of Freescale after it was fully completed, how much Zhang Wei's family could profit from the wafer fabrication plant, these innocuous things can be chatted casually, and the details will not be known until after the operation.

However, Zhang Wei is excited, the price of chips can be 20% cheaper than the outside world, which means that he can make more money on his side, and if he makes his own mobile phone in the future, he may also get a lower price chip from Freescale!
