Chapter 050: Finalizing the Cooperation
Gong Hui left on time the next day, and Meng Qian sent her to the airport, a little reluctant when she let go of her hand. He wanted her to move here, but she had her own life, her own family, and he couldn't promise her, so he didn't say anything about this selfish offer.
She left a kiss on his face and whispered in her ear, "Take care of yourself." ”
"So are you." He said.
"Goodbye." She waved her hand and pulled the box away.
"Goodbye." Meng Qian watched her leave. It's just that they all know in their hearts that this goodbye will probably not be seen again for a long time.
Driving back alone, going home bored and simply going to work.
Recently, he has been a bit of a king who does not come to the court, and he is just following the development of the company on the phone. Negotiations are still ongoing, and in addition to Warwick, there are two other mobile phone companies in China that are their candidates. From the perspective of the future, whoever Fuguo Energy supports, who will be able to soar.
Parking upstairs, the company is as busy as ever, and there are some new faces.
"Mr. Meng!"
"Mr. Meng is good!"
There were many people who greeted him, and Meng Qian nodded and came to his office.
He listened to the assistant's report on the recent work and progress, and then Zong Yan came to the door: "Tomorrow, the senior management of Samsung will come over and talk to us about cooperation." ”
"Hype it up?" Meng Qian has learned a lot from Zong Yan, and he has been dyed black.
"It's okay to be appropriate, and there are many people who pay attention to us without publicity." Zong Yan said, opened the document in his hand, and handed it to him: "Warwick's request, you can see it." ”
"Have you decided?" Meng Qian picked it up and looked at it.
Zong Yan was very comfortable: "Basically, there are only some small differences, but I believe that Samsung will let go of them if they contact us a few more times." ”
Meng Qian nodded: "Then we can only bother our Samsung friends to run more." ”
……
Samsung attaches great importance to battery cooperation, and the heads in China are here.
But Meng Qian suddenly found that his company's background was not enough: there was no official car.
Obviously, we can no longer use the excuse that the company has not been established for a long time and cannot be arranged. The first few times I didn't realize it was because the customer brought his own vehicle, such as Warwick in the same city. And this time the customer came from the capital, and there were two foreigners, but the company did not have a car, and the customer took a taxi.
Meng Qian mentioned to the assistant: "Official car, write it down." ”
"Okay, Mr. Meng." Liang Tao hurriedly remembered.
The Koreans came here with sincerity, but because they first dealt with domestic cooperation, they did not focus on it for the time being, but their demand is impressive, and the shipment of 300 million mobile phones is ah. It's just that this cake is not easy to bite: the factory capacity is insufficient; The second model is too miscellaneous; In the end, Apple is more profitable.
Samsung and Apple, we have to think about it later.
As for why not pick together?
Meng Qian also thought about it, but their output added up, and the production capacity demand reached 450 million.
If the low-end is excluded, it is estimated that there are 400 million.
However, the factory's investment of 3 billion yuan only solves the production capacity of 150 million batteries, and it will cost a lot of money to expand it, but Meng Qian does not want to rush to sell the shares. The future of Wells Fargo Energy is very broad, and no matter how high the bid is now, it will not be as mature as it will be in the future.
If you choose one of the two, you will have an exclusive authorization, and in addition to normal business, you can also get a protection fee, for example, Huawei will have at least 1.5 billion protection fees; As for foreign businesses? Big dogs must have high requirements. Zong Yan estimates that whether it is Apple or Samsung, it will inevitably cost more than 1.5 billion.
The 1.5 billion is in dollars.
Therefore, with the exclusive authorization cooperation, the company can first get a large amount of money, which can be used to increase production capacity, without the need to refinance and dilute Meng Qian's shares. The remaining funds will be used in the field of power batteries, which has a larger market and a broader future.
Returning to the negotiations, the two sides are still testing each other.
But this meeting kept putting pressure on Warwick, who had been preparing for the cooperation for a long time.
300,000 new battery mobile phones have been sold out one after another, consumers have received a lot of praise, and they have not been scolded and complained about behind the scenes, and even some hoarding profiteers have raised the price to twice the original price...... All kinds of strange market performance make them even more nervous.
The news Huang Liang got was mixed, the good thing is that Wells Fargo Energy has sincere cooperation, and they also want to help Chinese companies, but the other half is that the enemy's sugar-coated shells are too fierce, whether it is Samsung's huge demand or Apple's not bad money offensive, Huawei does not have an advantage.
After Huang Liang thought about it, he hurriedly arranged a meeting.
The company's senior management and directors were present, and Huang Liang said what he thought: "Now is not the time to care about small profits, even if we lose money at the beginning, we have to seize this advantage." It is better to defeat the enemy than to give up the opportunity to become a giant. ”
What a chance to become a giant!
This goal has been heard by the high-level enthusiasts, and Huawei has always had the ambition to become one of the world's mobile phone brand giants, and only by entering that circle can it have the strength to compete with Samsung and Apple. If you can't get into the circle, how can you talk about development? In the end, the top brass agreed.
So Warwick decided to end the negotiations, which had dragged on for many days.
They agreed to the agreement negotiated by the two sides: Huawei invested 1.5 billion yuan as the only domestic brand to use Fuguo Energy's new battery; And ensure that the annual battery demand is at least 50 million. Warwick, in turn, has oversight powers over the production of Wells Fargo Energy.
The CEOs of both sides showed up to sign the contract, and all the senior executives were present.
"Happy working together!" Meng Qian picked up the prepared champagne and greeted the other party.
"It's a win-win start!" Yellow and bright with red light.
The cooperation is not a loss for both parties, Wells Fargo Energy got 1.5 billion in cash, and also finalized an agreement to at least 50 million batteries per year within three years after the factory is fully completed, which means that 8 billion operating income is safely recorded, almost turning into a local tyrant.
Wells Fargo Energy has a very high unit price for batteries, even after deducting production costs, various expenses and taxes, its profit margin still accounts for half, which means that 8 billion operating income may generate 4 billion profits. This is unimaginable profiteering in the industry.
Meng Qian roughly calculated an account for himself, and when the factory can operate normally, he will be able to get more than 200 million dividends from this profit, a safe ten figures! Of course, this is not how the company operates, and they will spend a lot of money in the future, such as power batteries.
If you want to pay dividends, it is actually a bit far away, and the factory construction will take half a year at the earliest, and then wait for the company's business to be normal and recover the payment, it is estimated that it will be a year or two later...... In order to enter the field of new energy, the company's expenses will definitely not be small, and tens of billions may not be enough.
Meng Qian knew that he couldn't be proud yet, and he had to open up more fields.
For Warwick, they have the act of swallowing elephants, but they do not regret taking care of everything, and can drive away their opponents - if they let domestic competitors succeed, let alone international giants in the future, I am afraid that the country will become second-rate; Although the purchase volume of 50 million is high, they are monopolistic.
Even Huang Liang learned from Meng Qian's personal words that Fuguo Energy preferred cooperation with Apple, which made him feel excited to kill Samsung just around the corner...... Therefore, when the glasses were clinked, the previous depression was swept away, and both parties treated each other with smiling faces, and the two brothers were good.
……
After the cooperation was finalized, Warwick's official website also posted the news.
For the continuous rumors in recent days, saying that Warwick can't make an agreement, the new battery supply is dying, and it is about to be replaced by a certain meter, etc., it is immediately self-defeating. The website claims in a high-profile manner that Warwick is already exclusive to the country, and no one in the country can challenge them anymore.
Of course, this doesn't make people shut up, some people said that night that this is a villain's ambition, even if there is technology, the user experience is poor, it can only be a second-rate brand...... The sour smell can be smelled ten kilometers away, and naturally not many people care, and users are more concerned about the progress of the new machine.
Warwick also took advantage of the boom to once again announce the launch plan of the flagship model.
The original factory of Wells Fargo Energy, the output and people have been hand-held, the latest batch of batteries has been shipped, and Huawei immediately increased its horsepower to start assembly, and it is already foreseeable that it will be sold out. After the battery technology can be satisfied, various fancy plays, 2K screens, and octa-core came into being.
