Chapter 214: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
Waiting for the car to arrive at the research institute, Zhou Liwen's mind was still echoing Liao Yuancheng's previous words. Cai Mingjie's intention is very obvious, he just wants to use this trick to completely disrupt Zhou Liwen's plan in the market, and even make Zhou Liwen's mobile phone project fail in the end.
Doing business is completely different from engaging in trade, and the capital chain demand of industry is far more critical than trade. Cai Mingjie is a business tycoon, and I am afraid that he has already figured out how much money Zhou Liwen has in his hands. In addition, it is easy for Zhou Liwen and Cai Mingjie to inquire about the details of the orders of the American chip factory, and Lianke has no shortage of excellent professional accountants, so it is easy to calculate the bearing capacity of Zhou Liwen's capital operation.
If there is no competitor, Zhou Liwen's question, but now there is a competitor, or to be precise, a spoiler, so it is difficult to say whether the sales of mobile phones can achieve the expected results. And compared with TcL, Zhou Liwen has no advantages in terms of brand or sales channels, and even in Liao Yuancheng's view, he is like two boxers of different levels. TcL is a heavyweight on its side, and it may not even be a lightweight on its side, and it is not clear who wins when a new company's products are compared with a large company that is already well-known and well-known in the industry?
As long as it is blocked in the market and Zhou Liwen is questioned, it will inevitably affect his capital chain. Once there is a problem with the capital chain, not to mention anything else, just the order of the chip factory will completely drag Zhou Liwen across. Even, Zhou Liwen can imagine Cai Mingjie's sinister intentions, he and TcL teamed up, and the mobile phones produced must also be fighting a price war, using low prices to impact the market. This trick has been proven in later generations. Lianke is known as the father of mobile phone copycats, but there is a reason, if it were not for Lianke to promote the mobile phone copycat, China's mobile phone market would not have flourished all of a sudden.
In a sense, Lianke's approach is of progressive significance for promoting the mobile phone market, but also from a business point of view, he is doing this to completely disrupt the situation, using the price advantage to mess up the mobile phone industry that originally had huge profits, and even make some little-known mobile phone brands lose the last market in this case, so as to withdraw from this industry.
This behavior of Lianke has made international mobile phone manufacturers hate it so much, but no one thought that in just a few years, with the huge Chinese market, Lianke has become a solution giant in the mobile phone industry. At this point, there is nothing they can do about Lianke, and they can't change the new market that has become a pattern. And Lianke, who was so rich that he was oiled, also pretended to be a good person at this time, just like a good*, he turned around and suddenly changed, from the king of cottages to a good enterprise with a sense of responsibility and conscience.
For Lianke and Cai Mingjie, Zhou Liwen knows that he is shameless and greedy, which is one of the reasons why he rejected the other party when Cai Mingjie took the initiative to throw an olive branch. The current Zhou Liwen is not the previous Zhou Liwen, if he was just starting out, he wouldn't mind taking the big boat of Lianke to make money. But now, Zhou Liwen has built his own mobile phone industry, and at this time, cooperating with Cai Mingjie is simply seeking skin with the tiger and seeking his own death.
In the research institute, Zhou Liwen is not interested in seeing his Liao Yuancheng's specific situation about the TcL mobile phone project for the time being. At the same time, Zhou Liwen also called Sha Zihao and asked him to immediately use all his connections to find the details of the other party's mobile phone project, and it is best to get the finished product of the other party's mobile phone.
After talking to Sha Zihao on the phone, Zhou Liwen was still not at ease after thinking about it, and immediately hung up the phone to Guo Tao again. Let Guo Tao immediately do this through the channels of guò logistics. Didn't he TcL already produce the phone? With the product, the next step is to shop the market, TcL is a large company, no matter how to store the market, it is inseparable from logistics, maybe this road can be used to get their finished products in advance.
"Dong Chou, don't worry, in fact, I have already thought about it, even if their mobile phones sell well, it doesn't mean that our mobile phones are not selling well, right?" Seeing Zhou Liwen's several phone calls, Liao Yuancheng comforted him on the side and put the brewed tea in front of him.
Zhou Liwen didn't touch the tea, but lit a cigarette, took a hard puff and shook his head: "I also know this, to be honest, I'm not very worried about the sales channel now, I'm afraid that they will fight a price war with us." If their phones are launched at a low price that no one can accept, the impact on us is very big. In addition, the key now is to get the finished product of their mobile phone, and I must know the exact number of their mobile phone to rest assured. ”
"Yes, know yourself and know your opponent......." Liao Yuancheng nodded in agreement.
"By the way, I have something strange to me." Zhou Liwen took a few puffs of cigarette and suddenly thought about it, and couldn't help but ask himself: "This TcL didn't make mobile phones before, even if it entered the mobile phone industry with the support of Lianke, how did they get their permits and licenses?" ”
Liao Yuancheng shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "I forgot to report this matter to you just now, I heard that TcL has acquired Alcatel's mobile phone brand, but this matter has not been disclosed by the outside world, if I guess correctly, their new mobile phone is to enter the market using Alcatel's license and license." ”
Zhou Liwen suddenly realized that Liao Yuancheng's reminder made him suddenly remember this. He had heard about this in his previous life, but because Alcatel mobile phones did not sell well in the domestic market, and the brand disappeared completely after being acquired by TcL. I didn't think about this for a while, Zhou Liwen was careless, if this is the case, it is normal for TcL to use this method to enter the mobile phone market.
A few phone calls went out, and there was no response after two hours, and Zhou Liwen couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Actually, he could also call Brother Jun or Wei Zi to ask, but this idea was vetoed by Zhou Liwen as soon as it came out. Zhou Liwen didn't want to use this matter to fall behind the other party's favor, if he did this, although he might be able to achieve a temporary goal, it would be worth the loss in the long run. Compared with the other party, Zhou Liwen is just a businessman, and he is at a disadvantage in some aspects. At present, the cooperation between the two sides is at least superficially equal, but if the initiative changes in the future because of this incident, it will inevitably lead to future cooperation.
Zhou Liwen and Brother Jun cooperated with the intention of mutual benefit, rather than really borrowing the power in their hands to achieve their goals. In this way, the cooperation will deteriorate, and Zhou Liwen will lose his independence in the future. He didn't want to end up becoming the "white glove" of some characters and getting involved in politics, which would not do Zhou Liwen any good, and even cause some unsolvable trouble.
As the minutes ticked by, the ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts. Suddenly, the mobile phone vibrate, and when I picked up the phone, I heard that it was Guo Tao calling.
"How?" Zhou Liwen picked up the phone and asked.
"Damn, I'm tired of Lao Tzu...... Guo Tao gasped on the phone: "You kid has to invite me to drink, it's done!" ”
"Really?" Zhou Liwen almost didn't believe his ears, he asked Guo Tao to ask about this matter just with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, but he didn't expect Guo Tao to give himself such a surprise.
"Nonsense!" seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhou Liwen's words, Guo Tao shouted on the phone: "How big is the logistics circle?" Lao Tzu is now a celebrity in this circle, and he is also a brother in the express delivery circle. Sue you, it's really not easy to get this thing done, I asked several friends to go around in circles to get in touch. It cost tens of thousands, and now people are trying to get a sample. That's right! Sue sù you! In this way, the product will have to be returned at noon tomorrow at the latest, or it will be a big trouble for others. ”
"No problem, no problem! Where is the stuff now? Zhou Liwen asked in surprise, when he learned that the thing was already in the hands of Guo Tao's people, Zhou Liwen asked him to immediately ask this person to send it to him, and when Guo Tao affirmed that the sample could be delivered in an hour, Zhou Liwen's heart suddenly settled, and his expression relaxed a lot.
Waiting for Zhou Liwen to hang up the phone, Liao Yuancheng on the side also hurriedly called the doorman to explain, as long as the delivery person arrived, he would notify him immediately.
After waiting patiently for less than an hour, the doorman called and said that a courier had arrived, and Zhou Liwen and Liao Yuancheng didn't care about their identities, so they ran downstairs in a hurry.
Holding a baby in general, holding a courier box, Liao Yuancheng immediately opened it when he returned to the office, and soon a mobile phone box was revealed from inside, looking at the refined printing of the box and the color pictures of the mobile phone on it, the two looked very dignified.
"Take it apart and be careful not to break the seal."
Liao Yuancheng nodded, took a tool from the drawer and carefully unsealed it, opened the mobile phone case, first removed the top manual, and then a light blue mobile phone inlaid with a silver border was revealed.
Judging from the appearance, this mobile phone is quite trendy, very much Japanese-style mobile phone, and Zhou Liwen's mobile phone is different, TcL This mobile phone uses a clamshell design, which is small and exquisite, and it looks very eye-catching at a glance.
"I'll go to the real yàn room." Liao Yuancheng took out his mobile phone with gloves on, looked at it in his hand first, and then said.
Zhou Liming understood what he meant, nodded at him, Liao Yuancheng put the mobile phone in a sealed bag and turned around and went out.
It took some time to test the number of tests, and Zhou Liwen waited patiently in the office. From the afternoon to the evening, and then late at night, Zhou Liwen didn't go anywhere, and even found a bowl of instant noodles for dinner.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Liwen, who was a little asleep, was really not sleepy, and when he was sitting on the sand and his head was in a daze little by little, he suddenly heard a banging sound in his ears, and when he raised his head, he saw that Liao Yuancheng had finally returned.
