And then I got into a crown car. Chiba Yuki and Hayashi both sat in the back row, talking and laughing along the way, and arrived at the headquarters building of the company that supplied chips.

Judging from the size of the headquarters, this company should not be very large. The full name is "Titanium Photovoltaic Co., Ltd.", judging from the name, it is indeed a high-tech enterprise.

Chiba Youxi's form is a bit Meng Lang, and before she brought Lin Yan here, she didn't need to inform this company. No matter how big the enterprise is, its boss can't just sit in his office every day, motionless and be a Buddha.

Therefore, in the slightly hectic contact of the front desk ladies, they arranged for Yuki Chiba and Hayashi to go to the lounge first and wait, saying that the big boss would rush back as soon as possible.

In the conference room, Lin Yan sat on a chair and asked, "You only found this one company to make chips?" ”

"Well, what's wrong, is there a problem?" Yuki Chiba asked.

There is a problem, of course there is a problem. If Lin Yan is allowed to operate, he will choose to negotiate with several companies, so that no matter which one is finally decided, the progress of that one will not be slow. However, this is all an ideal thing, and the specific things are analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If the Chiba Group can only find this chip manufacturer, there is no way.

"Can you find other chip manufacturers?" Lin Yan asked.

Chiba Yuki didn't know where to take out a piece of candy, threw it in his mouth and said, "According to your request, I can't find a second one." According to your requirements, there are only three suitable ones in Japan. We have no contact with the other two at all, and if we want to place an order for them, they won't want it. ”

Lin Yan nodded after listening to Chiba Yuki, Japan will indeed not accept orders. As mentioned before, Japanese business is mainly divided into several large conglomerates, and each of these consortia has a large number of manufacturers. If another consortium wants to place an order from this consortium, they may accept it, but if the product sells really well, then it is likely that there will be a shortage of raw materials. Situations where parts are in short supply. Because, compared to the interests of the whole group, the interests of an enterprise are really very meager.

So, it gradually developed into it. The companies in their own consortium play with the companies in their own consortium, and those companies that do not stand in line, although they can theoretically get orders from any consortium, they basically will not be too much. Generally, it is used to make up for the lack of industry of enterprises within the group.

Lin Yan and Chiba Yuxi, after talking for a while, the big boss of Tiguang finally pushed open the door of the lounge.

Although the reason for the current situation is basically all the responsibility for Lin Yan and Chiba Yuxi, he still bows very humbly and admits his mistakes, and he says sorry vigorously, and Lin Yan, who has a sincere attitude, is embarrassed.

Although Lin Yan knows that this is the rule in Japanese shopping malls, everyone understands the truth of reaching out and not hitting smiling people. However, after becoming the owner of a relatively large company. It's not easy to still have this kind of mentality.

Lin Yan remembers that in his memory, there is such a game company, and the games produced by this company are indeed fun and can indeed be called high-quality products. But perhaps because it has been held by players for too long, the mentality of the whole company has changed.

Originally, the game was intended for the game company to think about the players, but the company forced some inconvenient operation methods to "cultivate" the players' habits. In the end, there is such a saying. "Dear player, I'm your father."

Such a problem will occur, in fact, it is easier to understand if you think about it carefully, that is, it takes a long time. The mentality has changed. Two people who love each other will be numb after a long time. Not to mention the long years of work. Therefore, the four words "don't forget the original intention" are really important.

Lin Yan took the business card of the boss of Tiguang, and the name of this middle-aged man was Fukuda Eimura. Without being too polite to him, Lin Yan asked, "Why is the price of chips so expensive?" ”

Hidemura Fukuda wore a black suit. The fact that his big belly was confined in it made it look like he must be quite uncomfortable. He said with a smile like a spring breeze, "The reason for the high price of chips is this, isn't it required that the chips be custom-made." Custom-made chips, of course, the price will be higher, you know. ”

Of course Lin Yan understands. Although he proposed a customized chip, it is actually a facelift of the 6502, which increases the performance in some places, and shrinks the performance in other places.

However, even if this is not a big change, the production line needs to be modified, and the cost of modifying the production line will be apportioned to each chip, so the price of chips with a unit price of less than ten dollars will soar to twenty dollars.

And for the products of the industrial age, if you want to reduce the unit price, there is a simple and crude way, that is, to increase the production, and the more the increase in production, the lower the price of the unit.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If I want the price to be less than five dollars per piece, how big an order will I need?" ”

Fukuda Hidemura gave the secretary next to him a look, and the secretary took a calculator and began to calculate.

The secretary posted a number in Fukuda Yingcun's ear, and Fukuda Yingcun said to Lin Yan, "To control each piece at five dollars, you need to place a one-time order of at least 800,000 pieces." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yan nodded, and as expected, he raised his head and said, "The first batch of orders is a total of one million pieces, how about the price of a single piece of four .7 dollars?" ”

"A million pieces?" Fukuda Hidemura didn't say anything, and Chiba Yuki let out a surprised sound.

Because, one million pieces is too much, although the total order amount is only 5 million US dollars, but when converted into yen, it is a large order of more than 100 million yuan.

She looked at Lin Yan with wide eyes, thinking she was joking. Although she is a big lady, she is still very concerned about the market of video game arcades, although this market is booming, but the total sales volume has not reached one million units.

You know, all the big and small arcade machine manufacturers are working hard together, and there are not a million arcade machines on the market. As soon as Lin Yan said this casually, he said an order for one million pieces, which was a joke.

If the sales of a video game console were in shambles, wouldn't it be a loss of millions of dollars? She knew that Lin Yan was quite rich and made a lot of money on the arcade, but whether his total assets were five million dollars or not, it was really hard to say. Because, he has always been a licensed producer, and he doesn't make much money on the machine. That is, a tap.

Lin Yan gave Chiba Yuki a look and comforted her, who was a little fried.

Fukuda Hidemura was so surprised when he saw Miss Chiba, knowing that the young man in front of him had not discussed it with her. Just now. It is estimated that he came up with it himself, and it is possible that he said this as if he wanted to test himself and let himself reduce the price of a single piece, as for whether there would be a million orders. He smiled, a million orders, a total of only tens of thousands of computers in Japan. One million, isn't it dozens of times the current computer market?

"You don't have to say so much, you don't have to place such a big order, the price can also be reduced, I try to put forward a price that satisfies you." Fukuda Hidemura said with a smile. Regardless of whether Lin Yan said the number of one million, whether he meant to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, he still had to be polite.

The reason is not it, this is the person brought by Yuki Chiba. And Miss Chiba is next to him, if he doesn't have a good face for Lin Yan, it will not give Miss Chiba face. If you don't give face to Miss Chiba, you don't give face to the Chiba Foundation. As a peripheral company of the consortium, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chiba consortium controls the fate of his company.

As for why not defect to other consortia. First, because it is really not worth turning away in this situation, and second, even if you go to other consortia, you will not be treated very well. As for being wary, that's a matter of course.

There are really not a few companies that can do what a few domestic slaves do. Most of the businesses. From birth to death, it was in a consortium, and this is the norm.

"Then I'll go out and do the math first, you and Miss Chiba. How about discussing it again? Fukuda Hidemura looked at Chiba Yuki with an expression that wanted to speak, and he said very understandingly.

When he came out of the lounge, he was still thinking in his head, should he not make any money on this list, and the price should be lowered, and he would have a good fate at that time.

"How can you name a million tablets!" Chiba Yuki's eyes widened and he said. "Don't mess around, don't think I don't know the entire video game arcade market, there are only a total of how many arcade machines, and you can place a million orders at once, are you out of your head?"

Lin Yan faced Chiba Yuxi's roar, he didn't mean to dodge at all, he knew that it was his own or not, and he didn't talk to her beforehand. However, if she had ventilated beforehand, she would have brought herself to Titanium Light to meet its big boss, and it was impossible to say.

Lin Yan sorted out the language and said, "An arcade machine is an arcade machine, and a home machine is a home machine." No matter how fun an arcade game is, no matter how fanatical the players are, it is rare to bring an arcade machine home to play. One is that this thing takes up too much space, and the other is that it is too expensive. However, although home consoles and arcade machines are both used to play video games, their prospects are definitely different, and there are hundreds of millions of inhabitants in Japan, and even tens of millions of families. If the home console is cheap enough and the game is fun enough to make every family buy a home console. Instead of going to the arcade to spend money to play games, you can buy the game back and play it for as long as you want, and what will be the market reaction? If you calculate it this way, how much is an order for one million chips? ”

Chiba Yuki nodded as if she didn't understand, Lin Yan's speed of speech was really fast, although she felt that something was wrong, but she didn't understand what was wrong. She said a little dazed, "What you said seems to make sense." ”

"Well, it does make sense! Believe me, the home console market is really not a million-level market like arcades, at least a million-level market, and even a game console is not impossible to sell hundreds of millions of units. "Lin Yan's flickering method has not been used for a long time. When he first came to this world, he fooled Sakata Yuki like this.

However, compared to the ignorant boy Yuki Sakata, Chiba Yuki, as the eldest lady of the Chiba Foundation, is much more knowledgeable. But the electronics industry, and even the video game industry, is really an emerging industry, even if she has a wide range of knowledge, she can't figure out whether what Lin Yan said is true or is fooling her.

Lin Yan is indeed fooling, but he is fooling with reason. The market for video game home consoles is really big, so big that people who have never entered this industry can absolutely unimaginable.

The sales volume he said are also justified, in another world, there are several hosts from several companies, which have reached such sales.

Therefore, Lin Yan is not afraid that Chiba Yuki will not be convinced.

"That's it." Lin Yan looked at Yuki Chiba, and then opened the door of the lounge. Fukuda Hidemura is a few steps away from the door of the lounge, and it is not far away. This is also quite knowledgeable, isn't it eavesdropping when you get close, don't look at it, don't listen to it. It was far away, and it was difficult for the people in the house to find him. So, he found a distance not far away and stood there.

Lin Yan said, "Chairman Futian, we have decided that the first phase of the order is 1 million pieces, what do you think?" If you think so, can you ask the lawyers in your company's legal department to draft the contract now? ”

When the company operates to a certain scale, there will always be such a department as the legal department. The reason for this department is not only to deal with lawsuits, but also to draft contracts. People who understand the law are popular because detailed contracts are really not read by people.

If you don't have a legal department and don't have enough lawyers, it's not too difficult to sign a contract that looks like there is no problem, but you end up ruined.

Fukuda Hidemura's face was still in disbelief, and he looked at Yuki Chiba. You must know that his titanium photonics company, the number of chips manufactured last year was only tens of thousands, if it were not supported by other industries, just engaged in chip manufacturing, his company would have starved to death.

Chiba Yuki nodded slowly under the gaze of Fukuda Hidemura. The whole process, Hidemura Fukuda and Yuki Chiba, are like doing slow motion.

After Fukuda Hidemura received an affirmative answer, time seemed to suddenly change faster. He quickly turned his head to the secretary beside him and uttered a long list of orders. The secretary in the suit of high heels, "Da Da Da ~ Da ~" trotted away, and quickly went to perform the various tasks ordered by the boss.

From this process, it can be seen that the corporate structure of Titanium Optics Co., Ltd. is still very reasonable, and the speed of execution of the order is very fast, and in a short time, five lawyers from the legal department came to the lounge. (To be continued.) )
