Chapter 159: Terry Gou

When the plane landed at Taoyuan Airport, Foxconn, which got the news early, had already sent a special car to the airport to wait for the pick-up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hello Mr. Li, welcome to Taiwan!" A short man in a suit with a mustache politely took Li Yue's luggage and walked towards the car with Li Yue.

"What about you Guo Taiming Guo Zong?" Li Yue came to Taiwan this time to meet this Taiwanese legend. They were OEM for MOTO V3 back then, but Li Yue remembered that in 2013, Foxconn's OEM Apple mobile phones had large-scale quality problems, and Apple returned 8 million mobile phones, and Foxconn's direct loss was as high as 16 billion. When signing the contract this time, you must avoid the losses you may suffer in advance, and write all of them into the contract.

An hour later, Li Yue did not go to the hotel to rest first, but came directly to Guo Taiming's office.

"Hello Mr. Guo!" Li Yue stretched out his hand.

"Sure enough, he is young and promising, Mr. Li really opened my eyes!" Guo Taiming shook hands with Li Yue and complimented him with a smile.

"It was supposed to arrive two days ago, but the company had something to deal with temporarily. I'm really embarrassed!" Li Yue changed the date temporarily because the two parties had an agreement in advance, and a character like him had already arranged his work early on weekdays. Because of his rescheduling, his work schedule has also been fluctuating. Li Yue must apologize for this rescheduling.

"You and I are both businessmen, and it is normal for a company as big as Mr. Li to have urgent matters to deal with temporarily, which I can understand. Nothing to apologize for. After Guo Taiming finished his politeness, he immediately turned to the topic: "It's just that I'm a little puzzled that your company suddenly wants to make a mobile phone." According to my understanding, Mr. Li's company should provide Internet services, such as online games and social services. Why do you suddenly want to enter the red sea of the mobile phone industry? You must know that the world's mobile phone business is now dominated by the top mobile phone manufacturers, and it will not be appropriate for a brand-new company to rashly produce without sales channels. Guo Taiming looked at Li Yue suspiciously and asked. He really couldn't figure out that there are only two things that a mobile phone manufacturer is most valuable, one is design, and the other is sales channels. Sometimes the sales funnel is even more important than the design. After all, in this era, operators are the main sales channel. However, according to Guo Taiming's understanding, Li Yue's relationship with China Mobile and China Unicom is very delicate. Is it difficult for his company to export all the mobile phones?

"You don't need Guo Tai to worry about sales, you just need to ensure the quality of our mobile phones. Li Yue looked at Guo Taiming very confidently. NOW, MY OWN YOUTUBE WEBSITE RADIATES A WIDER AUDIENCE THAN ANY OTHER TELEVISION STATION. WHEN THE TIME COMES, THE PHONE WILL BE MANUFACTURED AND THEN ADVERTISED ON YOUTUBE AND THEN SOLD THROUGH THE NETWORK IN ITS ENTIRETY. Li Yue just let the world know that his company is also a manufacturer of technology hardware, although it sells mobile phones, but not the mobile phones themselves. Instead, let the world see the world's top mobile phone chips, mobile phone memory, and mobile phone cameras. As long as this configuration is unveiled, even if the mobile phone itself does not sell well, the mobile phone memory and camera will definitely be shipped in a large area around the world.

"Since Mr. Li is so insistent, I can't say anything, I want to know how many units Mr. Li plans to produce in the first batch of mobile phones?" Guo Taiming kindly reminded him, but this arrogant young man didn't buy it. In that case, then business is business.

"30 million units!" Li Yue wanted to say that he would produce 100 million units first, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Guo Taiming is right, in the future, the Chinese market is the largest growth point of mobile phone sales, and there is no country in the world that can be compared except the United States, but it is this important market, but Li Yue's relationship with the two operators is very poor. Whether they are willing to buy Li Yue's mobile phone is really a mystery.

"What a lot of courage!" Guo Taiming said secretly in his heart. Obviously at odds with the two domestic communication operators, they dare to produce so many mobile phones. If you only export, those big names abroad will squeeze you to death, how can an outsider like you be allowed to come in the market for how many years they have been in business. Moreover, at this time, the reputation of Made in China in the world is not very good, and foreign users do not recognize Made in China. In such a context, this Mr. Li still dares to produce 30 million units. Guo Taiming thought that if it was himself, he would only dare to produce about 5 million units at most.

"In view of the fact that Mr. Li's company is a brand-new mobile phone company, according to the industry rules, we can produce it by charging 30% of the cost first, but now we want to charge 70% of the cost. Guo Taiming thought for a while and limited the cost that Li Yue needed to pay in advance to 70%.

Li Yue saw Guo Taiming's cunning and smiled knowingly. If he is not the richest man in the country, he must collect 100% of the full amount before he can produce. After all, your mobile phone is to be sold to users and communication operators. Selling to users, they don't have a national sales channel, not even a store. As for selling to communication operators, the two companies regard Li Yue as an enemy, and they may not buy it. Guo Taiming was worried that he would pay for production, but Li Yue would not be able to sell it. The risk of recovering the capital is all transferred to your own head.

"I don't need Mr. Guo to purchase mobile phone accessories, Mr. Guo only needs to be responsible for the production of mobile phone body and assembly. Of course, if Mr. Guo is reluctant, the body of the mobile phone can also be produced without production. I can outsource to other companies. "In the documents that Li Yue passed to their company before, there was no mention of mobile phone accessories. The purpose is to see what the other party has offered him.

"If we were only responsible for assembly, we would be charged $10 per phone. Guo Taiming thought for a while and said.

A mobile phone costs $10, close to the price of 83 yuan, which makes Li Yue shake his head. According to his understanding, many domestic manufacturers now produce mobile phones, and their profits are even only about 100 yuan. And some small OEM factories, and even copycat manufacturers, their profits are even only more than 10 yuan. The profits of foreign manufacturers will be higher, after all, in this era, their quality is still better than some domestic manufacturers.

"Guo always didn't take my company, but Nokia and Motorola. A mobile phone costs me $10 for assembly, how much profit do I have?" Li Yue looked at Guo Taiming and shook his head with a smile.

"Our company's current orders are almost saturated on the existing production line. If I want to take over Mr. Li's order, I have to start a new production line. For this reason, I have to raise the offer!" Guo Taiming's words are obvious, this is a naked hint, I have enough orders, and your 30 million units are not a matter for me. Either give $10 or you go to someone else.

"Since Mr. Guo's order is saturated, there is no need for me to talk about it anymore. Even if Mr. Guo lowers the price he gave me, I can't wait for you to build a new production line. After speaking, Li Yue stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

After Guo Taiming heard Li Yue's words, he frowned, obviously a little dazed. However, as an old Jianghu, he still stretched out his hand and apologized.

"I'm really sorry to let Mr. Li run for nothing!" Guo Taiming shook Li Yue and pulled his hand back.

Seeing Li Yue walk out, Guo Taiming was still a little depressed, his words just now were obviously an art of bargaining, why did this young man leave?

"Secretary, inform me of the cancellation of the engineering meeting. "Terry Gou is ready for the engineer meeting, and he wants to show his company's design capabilities, as well as manufacturing capabilities. But now none of that is needed. Because everybody is talking to death! Young people are young people, and they can't stand the slightest language frustration. The order for 30 million units flew away. Guo Taiming sat in his seat for a while, and then continued his work, as if what had just happened had not happened.
