Chapter 405: Lao Liu's dilemma

Lin Daguan went back with a belly full of anger, and when Anjibo agreed, he was extremely suspicious that he had not hidden it from Boss Lin.

Do you think I can't do this in three months, buddy? As soon as he thought of Anjibo's suspicious gaze, Boss Lin was on fire: Then buddy, I'll let you see how the Chinese people created the zào miracle.

"Go, let someone buy me a few Fujitsu laptops and come back, with different configurations and different sizes, just one for each specification, well, remember not to buy them in one place." On the way back, Boss Lin made a remote control arrangement directly on the phone.

"Okay, boss, don't worry, I'll buy you all the Fujitsu notebooks that can be bought on the market." Waldegard on the other end of the phone didn't even ask, and said simply...... How big of a deal is just buying a few laptops?

“…… Also become. Lin Zheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: Buy every one back, just buy every one, it doesn't take much effort...... It's still an era when laptops are just beginning to develop, and it's good for each computer manufacturer to have three or four kinds of notebooks at the same time, and expect Fujitsu to have more than a dozen?

Yes, Lin Zheng plans to "borrow" Fujitsu's mold and motherboard design, people who really know something about laptops know that there are two real supergiants in the notebook field: IBM and Fujitsu...... These without exception have established the standard image of an IBM notebook: when it comes to IBM notebooks, the image of a "little black" commercial notebook immediately emerges in the hearts of people who hear it;

But speaking of Fujitsu. There are many people who know this brand and don't even know about Toshiba and Sony notebooks, but after the emotional factor, to be honest, the quality of Fujitsu notebooks is really good. In many ways, it is not weaker than IBM, but the price of quality is that Fujitsu notebooks are not only scarce in production, but also slightly higher than IBM in the price of notebooks with the same configuration.

Since they have decided to find a mold to "borrow" it, it is natural to "borrow" the best quality: IBM is an American brand, and when the notebook is sold in the United States in the future, it will be a troublesome and endless saliva lawsuit, since this is a bit troublesome. Then "borrow" from the leaders of Japanese laptops: Fujitsu is good, and Lin Zheng didn't expect to be able to sell laptops to Japan, an extremely xenophobic country.

"By the way, I'll tell you something when I get back. About the gearbox. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Zheng added.

What about the gearbox? Waldegard had something strange to say about the boss: Is there anything to talk about the gearbox? But the boss is the boss, and Waldegard is very clear about this positioning, and immediately said. "That's it. I'm going to you with all my laptops in 2 hours. ”

Hanging up Waldegard's phone, Lin Zheng thought for a while, picked up his mobile phone and dialed another number.

The phone rang 10 empty tones before it was picked up, and the person on the other end of the phone yawned and asked Lin Zheng in a daze, "Mr. Lin, what's the matter?" ”

It's the middle of the night in China, and Lin Zheng is really embarrassed. Laughed dryly, "Mr. Liu." I'm sorry, I'm going to ask you something, which company is your Zhaoyang S5100 notebook? (The first notebook in China, Zhaoyang S5100, some say that it was born in 95, and some say that it was born in 96, but it is more said that Lenovo was established soon after the 10th anniversary, so the statement of 95 years is more credible, and 95 years are used here)

"Huh?" Hearing Lin Zheng's question, Comrade Liu, who had just slept and was still a little dazed, became vigilant, his drowsiness disappeared without a trace, hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Lin, you ask this question...... You're making it a little hard for me to answer. ”

"It's nothing more than Compal or Quanta, what's so hard to answer, do you think I'm going to rob you of your jobs?" Boss Lin rolled his eyes depressedly: It's all mixed in this business, who else can you hide?

"Tsk......" Hearing Lin Zheng's words, Lao Liu's old face turned red, this is really a shame to be thrown home.

Lenovo has just launched its first domestic notebook this year: Zhaoyang S5100, and it is known as "the first laptop produced by Chinese", with its cost-effective advantage, it is now very popular in the market, and it is considered to have greatly increased the ambition and confidence of the Chinese people, but those who are really in the know know that this laptop ...... Tsk, how to say it, the production is handed over to the Bay Island enterprises OEM, molds, boards and spare parts on it are also provided by the Bay Island people, Lenovo actually didn't do much.

But if you have to say that Lenovo hasn't done any work, this is actually not right, Compal or Quanta can't directly provide you with a complete set of solutions, which involves a lot of links, and Lenovo has indeed done a lot of work, such as the motherboard used in the notebook is designed by themselves.

However, it is only the design, the design is completed, and a batch of small batches of production for performance testing is carried out under the actual yàn room conditions, and then the motherboard used on the finished machine is handed over to Quanta or Compal to OEM, of course, they can also find other electronic manufacturers to OEM, of course, this is no problem, Compal or Quanta will not stop it, but the problem is that Compal or Quanta purchase electronic components when the purchase volume is large, the purchase volume is large, then the purchase price can be reduced, relying on the advantage of mass production, Compal or Quanta OEM boards, Each piece is at least 30 yuan cheaper than the domestic electronics factory.

So the so-called "first domestic laptop", in fact, the moisture is quite large, of course, you have to insist that Bay Island is also our land, Quanta and Compal should also be regarded as our Chinese enterprises, of course, it is not wrong, but the problem is ...... Isn't there no unification yet?

However, since Lin Zheng's words have been said to this point, Lao Liu naturally understood what Lin Zheng meant, and smiled wryly, "It's not Quanta and Renbao, it's Shenji...... Their quality control is good, but Mr. Lin, you called me in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be just for such a thing? ”

"Shenji?" Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment: How could it be Shenji (mitac)?

The one he is full of is Quanta or Compal, and the most unfortunate is also a great creation, how did he become a god? However, when I thought of Shenji's status in the industry, that is, it was a second- or third-tier notebook computer OEM company, I immediately understood in my heart: what Shenji's quality control is doing well, it is simply that Quanta and Compal don't look down on Lenovo's little list...... Does Lenovo have an order of 50,000 units for Shenji?

In fact, there really aren't 50,000 units.

For ZhaoyangS5100Market prospects,Even Lenovo and Lao Liu themselves are not sure,After all, this is a domestic laptop with a market price18000Ah,For insurance purposes,Lenovo gave Shenji a list of 10,000 plus 10,000:Produce 10,000 units first,If the market response is good,Add 10,000 units,If the market response is not good,Then there are only 10,000 units in the early stage。 But such an order is not enough trouble for Quanta and Compal, and people are too lazy to take it.

"Shenji is not bad," Lin Zheng laughed dryly, although Shenji is not very good in the field of notebook foundry, but Shenji's parent company, Lianhua Shentong, is still very good, well, but these have nothing to do with him, "and Shenji...... It can't be said that it doesn't matter. ”

"We just signed the desktop OEM contract of Texas Instruments, and Texas Instruments also intends to give us the OEM contract for laptops, but Mr. Liu can also think that we lack relevant designers in our hands, so this is not going to talk to Mr. Liu, when you were engaged in Zhaoyang S5100, you have cultivated a lot of talents, I wondered, can you lend us a few designers in your notebook department?"

Borrowing? Lao Liu really didn't expect Lin Zheng to make such a request, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Laptops don't make money? There is no doubt that it must make money, and the profit margin of notebooks is more than double that of desktops, otherwise you will have to make notebooks? Not to mention the big truths that have been said in the media, the real reason is not because notebooks are more profitable?

Lin Zheng wanted to borrow some money from his own side to design their boards, maybe the people who borrowed it in the past would also have to bear the heavy responsibility of training the personnel of Lianchuang Technology, thinking of what Lin Zheng just said was also related to Shenji, Lao Liu immediately realized the meaning of Lin Zheng's unspoken words: Nima! In addition to engaging in desktop OEM, Lin Zheng also wants to play notebook OEM!

Want to help with this? Lao Liu was a little hesitant, of course, what he was worried about was not whether Lin Zheng would come to borrow someone from him this time Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou - only borrowed but not repaid, Lin Zheng played OEM, in the OEM industry, word of mouth is equal to reputation, and a foundry company with a bad reputation will not be able to survive.

He just didn't believe in Lin Zheng's approach: Boy, even if our Zhaoyang S5100 is handed over to Shenji OEM, do you know how much effort we spent to build this Zhaoyang notebook? Notebook OEM is really not as simple as you think.

Can you reject it outright? Thinking that Lenovo's desktop OEM would be handed over to Lin Zheng, he was a little hesitant, although "business is business", but the domestic business field should also pay attention to personal feelings, and he handed over the desktop business to Lin Zheng, but he did not support Lin Zheng's notebook business, which is somewhat unreasonable, word of mouth is very important to Lin Zheng, but it is not important to himself? And Lin Zheng has already won Texas Instruments, if he is taking Compaq and Dell, counting several domestic computer brands in China, whether there is Lenovo has a really big impact on him, but the impact on Lenovo is really not ordinary, and ...... Even if he doesn't help, Lin Zheng must not be able to find the right talent? (To be continued......)
