Chapter 765 Negotiating Apple OEM Orders

"In the next step, the management of the company's departments, should be replaced, should be adjusted, the group wants to be in the rapid development, but also to grasp the stability and balance, in addition to the planning of the enterprise, the most important thing is to find stable and reliable talents, not necessarily how good, but must be obedient. ”

"As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and the management of the group is an important general, and the generals at the bottom don't take the orders of the command headquarters seriously, so what's the use of such generals?"

Guo Taiming and Wang Chuanwei clearly stated the importance of the problem word by word.

At this time, Li Feiteng's sense of alcohol was really gone, and he finally understood the problem of Feiteng Electronics Group.

The problem is really not ordinary.

The management that is too chaotic, the group that is developing too fast, and the people in charge of the subsidiaries, they used to be the bosses, and it is difficult to change from the boss to the professional manager.

The salary is high, the treatment is good, and there are also a lot of employee shares, but for their previous identity, they are two realms, and they may make a lot of money, but they have never regarded the group as their own in their hearts.

Li Feiteng thought to himself, it seems that not everyone is like Ma Huateng, Lin Xinhe and other figures, who can go from the identity of the boss to the top management position among professional managers, and enter the board of directors as an administrator.

Not all companies can follow the growth path of Google Group, because the Internet and electronics manufacturing are really two very different industries.

"You're right, the management of Feiteng Electronics Group needs to be rectified. ”

After Li Feiteng figured it out. There is no doubt. He already had all the countermeasures in his head.

……

After the banquet. After Li Feiteng returned to the hotel, he asked Sang Jie to sort out the more detailed information of the subsidiary.

This time, he directly took the comprehensive evaluation form from the personnel department.

The personnel department of Feiteng Electronics Group is the same as other groups, and uses a very special inspection method, not only can not be managed by the president and general manager, but also at the level of directors and shareholders, and wants to obtain a comprehensive evaluation form of the personnel department. You will also need to apply to the above.

Because, this is a "through train" specially made by Li Feiteng.

For example, at the end of last year, Li Feiteng also made a layoff, and he used the through train to directly get rid of some middle and high-level management.

12 subsidiaries, middle and senior management. There are more than 120 people in total, and Li Feiteng is very serious about getting the information of these personnel departments. I read them all one by one, and according to the results of the comprehensive assessment, mark them in the back, and even directly annotate some things.

"Wang Leehom, comprehensive evaluation of five A's, such an excellent talent, should be the general manager. ”

"Su Hua, there are actually three C-grades, it seems that we need to investigate them seriously. ”

Li Feiteng did not believe all the information of the Ministry of Personnel, because there is no impermeable wall in the world, and he is just a reference, and when the preliminary judgment results are done, of course he will send people down to conduct another investigation and verification.

Those who pass the test will definitely be promoted.

And if there is indeed a problem, then it will be ruthlessly expelled and fired.

After working for more than an hour, Li Feiteng finished reading all the information, he sorted out the text, handed it to Sang Jie and said: "Sort out all my annotations, contact the group's supervisory committee, let them all verify it, and I will rectify the management within a week." ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away. Sang Jie took Wen Jiàn and hurriedly turned around.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the building of Feiteng Electronics Group, it was urgent to carry out a foreign negotiation meeting.

The first negotiation meeting was the negotiation of cooperation between Feiteng Electronics and Apple Group.

After Li Feiteng arrived at the company, he met a group of negotiators led by Anthony, and immediately asked, "Who did Apple send to preside over the negotiations this time?"

Anthony replied: "It's Smith, and he's a commercial marketing director at Apple, and he's very low-key at Apple, and we haven't investigated his situation yet." ”

Li Feiteng nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, I'll be your backup next to you in this negotiation." ”

When Anthony heard this, an excited expression suddenly appeared on his face.

The negotiations between the group and Apple this time are related to large orders worth tens of millions of dollars next year, including more profit margins.

It cannot be ignored, and Li Feiteng's identity is also a deterrent, even if he sits there and doesn't speak, I believe that he can put a lot of pressure on the other party.

Everyone entered the medium-sized conference room for negotiations.

The five foreigners led by Smith were already sitting on the opposite side of the conference table, and when Anthony and Li Feiteng came in, he recognized Li Feiteng at a glance, and his expression was very surprised, and he couldn't help but stand up, greeted and shouted: "Oh, Mr. Kingli, I really didn't expect you to participate in this negotiation." ”

Li Feiteng smiled: "It's nothing, we can produce consumer electronics for Apple, which itself requires sincerity." ”

Smith had already walked over to shake Litto's hand.

After he understood, he smiled and said, "Thank you, we are really honored." ”

After the polite words, both parties sat at the conference table face to face, and everyone visited Youwen Jiàn and the contract, and Anthony also held a fountain pen in his hand, and he spoke first: "I don't know Mr. Smith, how many orders are you going to give to our group for EMAC computers this time?"

Smith said with a smile: "EMAC computer order, we are ready to place 300,000 sets of mouse keys for your group to produce, the manufacture of shells, I want to know your group's plastic abrasives, are they ready?"

Anthony said: "The plastic stamping machine qì that produces EMAC computer shells has been purchased from the Japanese side more than 100 units, with a total value of more than 25 million yuan, and 30 sets of abrasives have been made. ”

Smith: "Your group's product defect rate is too high, and the number of returns of accessories for the iMac computers we produced last year exceeded our requirements, so this year, we may not be able to make iMacs for you anymore." ”

Li Feiteng, who was sitting next to him, heard the news and felt a little uncomfortable.

The iMac computer is an idea proposed by Steve Jobs in 1998 as a "computer that is not a computer", and then Apple engineers launched the iMac all-in-one computer.

This computer is one of the few products that Apple has never discontinued and is constantly updated.

The sales of iMac, whether it is the production of this product, the production experience brought to Feiteng Electronics Group, can not be accurately described by price.

Li Feiteng is not yet able to produce the same good all-in-one machine, because domestic companies have a strong ability to copycat, but in terms of product innovation technology, it is extremely lacking.

More importantly, many of the technologies and contracts for the production of computers have not been obtained by Feiteng Electronics Group, and it may not be too difficult to produce computers in China, because it is difficult for foreign companies to stop.

Even if you want to sue Li Feiteng, there is basically no chance of winning.

However, at the beginning of the 21st century, if Li Feiteng wanted to produce an all-in-one machine, if he could not guarantee the technology, he would not dare to export the products and sell them at all, and he would not dare to sell them at home.

Word-of-mouth is difficult to establish, and destroying word-of-mouth is just one or two products.

Li Feiteng's goal is that as long as he makes a product, it must be done well, with good sales and high reputation and evaluation.

"Mr. Smith, I think your company can think about it again, we have invested more than 100 million yuan in the production of accessories for iMac all-in-one computers, and if we don't continue to cooperate with Apple, not only will we lose a lot of money, but it will also be difficult to ensure that Apple will not be affected. ”

"What can affect us?"

"Maybe Mr. Smith doesn't know much about Huaxia, in our country, a lot of piracy/copyright infringement has happened repeatedly, even our chairman Mr. Li Feiteng, he has invested a huge amount of money to crack down on piracy/copy, but I believe that in the face of huge profits, there will be many people who will take risks. ”

"I don't want to see a lot of piracy/copy syndicates in Huaxia copying the iMac all-in-one computer, using our cheap productivity here to imitate or even improve your Apple products to obtain high-priced profits. ”

Anthony deliberately said it very carefully, he was just scaring Smith.

However, Smith was really frightened and didn't dare to say anything.

Li Feiteng couldn't listen to it anymore, he coughed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith, I think you should know that many of Apple's engineers have been tapped by our group to work in Huaxia, in fact, whether it is Apple's computer or Apple's music player, it has long been no secret to us, if you really give up the iMac order, it is difficult for me to guarantee that there will be no stricter problem." ”

His words, to Smith's ears, were as loud as a brass bell, and the meaning was basically the same as that expressed by Anthony, only more violently.

This time, Smith is really not too calm, he said: "Chairman Li, although we Apple has recently had a situation, but our factory, our engineers are still in the work of research and development, including the patent protection department, have not forgotten their own responsibilities, this year Huaxia has joined the WTO, I think even if Huaxia has what you said, but I believe that the impact on Apple is not as big as you say." ”

After hearing this, Li Feiteng and Anthony glanced at each other, but they really didn't expect that this Smith was on point. (To be continued......)
