Chapter 120: Cooperation
Something to do with the Xiaobawang handheld game console? Lenovo just mentioned the LCD screen and CPU production, Zhu Ziqing couldn't think of what he meant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Please?"
"I want to become a supplier of Xiaobawang LCD screens and CPUs, I don't know if Mr. Zhu can consider it."
It's not impossible to become a supplier, and he wants to support him as much as he can when he encounters such a company. However, although he has great respect for companies that are determined to fill the gap in domestic technology, in business, whether the other party can act as a supplier depends on product quality and price.
And he has another question: "I can understand the CPU, but the domestic LCD screen technology is not worse than that of foreign countries, and the product should not worry about sales." ”
Zhu Ziqing still has a meaning that he didn't say directly, if the quality is qualified, he won't worry about sales, and you are a boss who personally sells it, is the quality not up to standard?
Hu Manying also heard what he meant, and said with a wry smile: "There is absolutely no problem with the quality of our company, and the price is lower than that of the same type of products." It's just that our technology matures too late, and when we launch our own products, most of the market has been carved up by other companies, and it is too difficult for us to squeeze in. ”
"Oh, then what are the well-known LCD panel manufacturers in our country? What about market share? ”
"It must be BOE, which is the largest LCD panel manufacturer in China, and it is also the fastest growing one, which is our model. The total market share is not very high, and several companies such as Samsung and Sharp occupy 80% or 90% of the market. When it comes to the same industry, Hu Manying makes no secret of his envy and yearning.
"No, we also have our own famous brands of electronic products, Lenovo, Hisense, Huawei and other products are very popular abroad. Shouldn't it be a market share to be driven internally? Zhu Ziqing asked puzzled.
"The first is that the market is too late, the market has been occupied by companies from other countries, and we have to grab food from them little by little, which is very difficult. The second is limited by production capacity. Our company's annual output has just exceeded one million pieces now. Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhu Ziqing would misunderstand the ability of his own business, Hu Manying added:
"Of course, production capacity and sales are linked, and we don't dare to install new production lines if we produce too much to sell. If sales go up, a new production line can be installed immediately, and production can be ramped up quickly. ”
Zhu Ziqing still understands this truth. A mature enterprise will not blindly start the project, every decision is based on market demand. If you can sell a million pieces, you can install a production line of one million pieces, and it doesn't matter if you go a little bit more.
If you can only sell a million, but you have a production line with a capacity of five million. It will cause equipment to be idle, funds to be occupied, and a lot of resources to be wasted. When your market share expands and production is insufficient, it's not too late to install a new production line.
"There is also a conditional exchange of benefits. I purchase your LCD screen, and you open some patented technologies to me, or open up part of the market. Therefore, those large electronics companies will purchase a large number of LCD screen panels from foreign companies. ”
"Taught." Zhu Ziqing suddenly realized. He is not an economics major after all. I have seen and heard a lot of things, but I am very blind in practical application. But as soon as others explain, he will understand the truth.
"Our company started later, and now most of them are producing LCD screens for copycats and some small brand electronics. But now there is more and more no market for miscellaneous electronic products, and our company's situation is becoming more and more dangerous, and a large enterprise is urgently needed to recover the decline. Hu Manying said sincerely: "I hope Mr. Zhu can consider my request and give our company a chance." ”
Zhu Ziqing was silent, he really wanted to help, but Xiaobawang was a brand that was only played out after a long time, and he didn't want to destroy it because of his sympathy.
"Well, I don't know anything about this, so I'll call the company and ask them to send a team of experts to come over for inspection. If your company's products meet our requirements, I will make the decision to purchase a certain number of products from you every year. How is it? ”
"Okay, I'm waiting for the arrival of the little overlord investigation team at any time." Hu Manying's face was full of smiles that couldn't be hidden.
As an entrepreneur with a net worth of tens of billions, he will not make decisions blindly. I have already got the report of the laboratory before I came, and their products are fully capable of meeting the requirements of the Xiaobawang game console. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come over to talk about it himself - it's not a shame enough if he didn't meet the requirements.
And Zhu Ziqing promised to purchase a batch as long as he met the requirements, and in his opinion, this matter was equivalent to a certainty.
So far, the global sales of Xiaobawang handheld game consoles have exceeded 9 million units, successfully breaking the monopoly of the four major handheld manufacturers, and officially becoming one of the world's top five handheld machine sellers.
Nine million is far from its limit, and experts predict that its annual sales should be around 20 million units, which is a terrifying number.
This is only for the three models of the Xiaobawang generation, and there are many ways for game companies to make money. It can be issued in limited editions, commemorative editions, and special customized for high-end customers...... If there are second-generation consoles, third-generation consoles and other types of game consoles, sales will increase by leaps and bounds.
Based on tens of millions, even if it only accounts for 10% of the supply, it is a huge number. Coupled with orders for miscellaneous electronic products, it is enough to feed these two companies.
Xiaobawang's own orders are important, but he values the cooperative relationship between the two sides more important. Being a supplier to a famous brand is a symbol of strength in itself.
Think about it, one is to be a supplier of miscellaneous products, and the other is to be a supplier of brand-name products, which is more face-saving and which is more convincing. In the future, he can use this contract as a stepping stone to negotiate more large enterprises.
A preliminary intention of cooperation was reached in business, and neither side continued to talk about this topic. It was useless to talk too much before the results of the investigation came out, so the two naturally changed the topic.
How do you say that sentence, everyone is hundreds of thousands of people every minute, and then the effort is a waste of time here. So the matter was negotiated, and after chatting for a while, Hu Manying offered to leave, and Zhu Ziqing did not stay.
After sending Hu Manying away, Zhu Ziqing called Lin Baoer.
"Husband, how are things going?" Lin Bao'er's soft and glutinous voice tickled Zhu Ziqing's heart.
"He had just seen the plane this morning, and he didn't want to say anything. I had no choice but to investigate on my own. Zhu Ziqing said helplessly.
"Well, don't worry, it's okay if he doesn't speak, as long as he doesn't confess. Take your time and find out the truth. Lin Baoer comforted.
"I know, I've asked Hong Jun and them to investigate. Not to mention him, how is the company now? ”
"Everything was good. By the way, the manager of Yamashiro Clover has been replaced. ”
"So fast?" Zhu Ziqing said in surprise. What happened the day before yesterday, the store manager was replaced today.
"Of course, you, the big boss, have spoken in person, can you not be happy." Lin Baoer laughed.
"Yes, yes, I'm glad you can have this kind of awareness, and you will be rewarded when you go back." Zhu Ziqing said in a pinched tone.
"Oh, really, I don't know how you're going to reward me, big boss?" Lin Bao'er said in a long voice.
Suddenly, half of Zhu Ziqing's body was crispy, and he quickly changed the topic: "How is the situation of our handheld game console?" ”
"It was great. Some time ago, the four major handheld manufacturers also wanted to encircle and block us, and then we opened up the patent authorization of Chinese squares to the outside world, successfully breaking the barriers they set. Now we have completed the distribution of goods in the global market and are selling hotly. ”
"What about the yield? Can you keep up? ”
"What restricts our development now is output. However, with the help of our distributors, we have signed processing agreements with many large factories, and we will be able to increase production very quickly. ”
"That's good. By the way, I met a ...... here in the mountain city" Zhu Ziqing told Lin Baoer about Hu Manying: "Do you think it's necessary to come and see?" ”
"If it is not necessary from a commercial point of view alone, we already have established suppliers, quality and quantity are guaranteed, and it is a waste of time to find them again." Lin Baoer directly gave a negative answer.
However, Zhu Ziqing was not a little disappointed, because he knew that she must have something to say: "What if you don't think about it from a business point of view? ”
"A lot of things can't be considered from a business point of view, you can't just look at the immediate situation. Most of our current LCD screen panels are purchased from Samsung, Sharp, and BOE. CPU is all imported, and the price is too expensive.
In front of those large enterprises, we have no advantages at all, and we cannot enjoy any preferential policies. And once the Big Four reach an agreement with these companies, the situation we face will be very serious. That's bad for us.
Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate our own suppliers. At that time, even if these big companies want to target us, there will be room for resistance.
Of course, it is also important for you to support domestic products. Only when our country can produce it ourselves, international suppliers will not dare to raise prices arbitrarily, and we will be able to buy cheap materials at that time. Only then can the cost of our products be reduced and the competitiveness can be improved. ”
"Well, that's good, this is Hu Manying's phone, you can just contact him directly when the time comes."
There are some things that Lin Baoer did not say too thoroughly, the choice of suppliers is not such a simple matter, and there are many aspects to consider. For example, the other party must have enough strength and sufficient technical reserves.
Otherwise, when Xiaobawang is going to come out with a new model, the other party will suddenly drop the chain, and it will be a cheat. Therefore, Hu Manying's company still needs to be investigated in all aspects if it wants to become a supplier of Xiaobawang.
There is one thing that Lin Baoer is very satisfied with, that is, Hu Manying is definitely not bad for money, at least his company has the capital to update new technologies. Otherwise, she wouldn't even send an investigation team and would have refused.
Another point is that Hu Manying's company has tens of billions of assets and great energy. Cooperating with such a company to become an ally is conducive to broadening the network of Skynet, and it will be much easier to do things in the future.
I chatted with Lin Baoer for a while before hanging up the phone. I originally wanted to go to the gym downstairs of the hotel to exercise my body, but who knew that the phone rang again. When he picked it up, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number in the local area of Shancheng, and he didn't think much about it, thinking that someone from the Du family was calling, so he picked it up.
"Hey, that one?"
The other party was silent for a while before he said, "Zhu Ziqing, I'm Zhu Mengmeng." (To be continued.) )
