Chapter 548: Keep an eye on it
Comrade Lao Liu is not stupid, Lin Zheng has already said this, if he doesn't know what to do, then he really plans to tear his face with Lin Zheng, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lin said so, what else can I say?" Although we associate ...... Alas, but after all, I got this thing wrong, Mr. Lin rest assured, I will call you the money in the next two days. ”
"Mr. Liu, you are my big brother, I shouldn't say this, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, although you may not like to hear it when I say it, but since we are friends, I still have to say, we have no opinion on you pit outsiders, but you can't be close to you and who you pit you, is it interesting to pit friends?" Lin Zheng sighed and said.
He knows,Don't look at Lenovo's later development momentum is very good,But before 03 years, there was a very strict supplier crisis,The reason is similar to what he is encountering this time,Because Lenovo's purchase volume is low,But the requirements are very harsh,At the same time, the payment cycle is very long,The director zhì everyone is unwilling to cooperate with them,At the beginning, Shenji, who supported Lenovo very much on the Zhaoyang notebook project, canceled the cooperation with Lenovo,Later partner Volkswagen (FIC, Not to kill Alto) also gave up cooperation with Lenovo, in a period of time there was no OEM manufacturer and Lenovo cooperation, which made some of the above people quite faceless, if not for the final Lenovo adjusted its supplier strategy, and at the same time there are the above bigwigs and these foundries to say hello, I am afraid Lenovo will not have the opportunity to become the world's third largest supplier of personal computer products.
However, obviously, Comrade Lao Liu didn't take Lin Zheng's kindness very seriously. responded perfunctorily, "I know my brother's kindness, don't worry." In the future, our cooperation guarantees that nothing will go wrong. ”
I hope so, Lin Zheng sighed in his heart, some people, even if he knows that it is not appropriate to do this, but he will always have a fluke mentality in his heart, and always feel that he will be the exception, not hitting the south wall and not looking back. As a friend, he fulfilled his responsibility, but Lao Liu didn't listen. What else can I do?
――――――――――――――――――――――――
The mold of this notebook launched by Lianchuang Technology is the public version, keeping the internal design unchanged, and through the local adjustment of external details, materials and colors, dozens of different models can be derived soon. There will be no embarrassing situation that everyone launches a notebook that is the same in all places except for the different logos. Everyone is in the electronic industry, and such a simple truth is naturally understood.
Not everyone has such great ambitions like Lao Liu, seeing that Lianchuang Technology has put out a few sample machines without any logo for everyone to experience in person, and then comparing the laptops of major computer brands at home and abroad provided next to it, after some experience, the eyes of all the CEOs are red: the public version of the laptop taken out by Lianchuang Technology is no different from these comparison samples at all!
Immediately, the CEO of a TV brand that was planning to enter the field of personal computers shouted at Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, how is the stability and reliability of this notebook?" If it's okay, our cooperation will be done! ”
Even. He didn't even ask about the price!
Don't look at the fierce competition in the TV industry now, people are about to hit the dog brain in their brains, but how high the profits of computers are. As for laptops? This thing is not something that can be described as profiteering at all, and since Lianchuang Technology is an OEM company, it is impossible for them to give too high a price.
"Stability and reliability, Mr. Li don't worry, we have carried out rigorous tests, and the rigors of the test are no less than IBM's thinkpad series, and I still expect to make a sum of money to marry a daughter-in-law, but I dare not smash our brand." Lin Zheng said with a smile.
"Hahaha......" everyone burst into laughter.
Everyone naturally knows that Lin Zheng is going to get married at the end of the year, and with Lin Zheng's worth, he naturally doesn't have to worry about whether he has money to marry a daughter-in-law, but he can show his attitude in this way, which still makes everyone happy: Who doesn't want to find a reliable partner?
"Everyone is a friend, but private friendship is a private relationship, since the big guys are here today on behalf of their respective companies, let's do business, let's go public and then private today, after finishing work, we will have a friendship at tonight's banquet...... This is the number of times in the redesign and testing process of this laptop, everyone understands technology, and I believe everyone has an account in their hearts after reading it. ”
As soon as Lin Zheng's words landed, several beautiful hostesses came out with enthusiastic smiles, each holding a delicate tray in their hands, in which was placed a detailed introduction to the laptop, and was delivered to several CEOs one by one.
Lin Zheng's attitude made several CEOs very satisfied, that's right, it's one thing for everyone to have a relationship with each other, but who doesn't have thousands of people to eat? Friendship is one thing, but you can't delay official affairs because of friendship, it is necessary to put public affairs before private affairs.
As a group of business CEOs who started in the 80s, all the CEOs present all started by technology, this kind of technical information may be equivalent to the book of heaven for ordinary people, but it doesn't seem to be a problem at all for the CEOs, quickly looked at the information, everyone exchanged glances with each other, and there was some surprise in their eyes: What Lin Zheng said just now turned out to be true? As far as the technical numbers reflected in the data are concerned, the overall technical content of this laptop is indeed very good.
Of course, information is information, information does not mean that the product is really so good, everyone knows that information can be faked, but it is still that sentence, unless Lin Zheng wants to smash the signboard by himself, he can't go too far.
"If there is really such a good ...... as the information says," Mr. Li, who had just spoken, paused slightly and said: "As long as the price is right, our ace group will book 20,000 units first...... Let's go back to the foundry of desktops. ”
This Mr. Li is really interesting, Lin Zheng nodded vigorously, "No problem, thank you Mr. Li for giving face so much, I didn't say it, no matter how big Mr. Li's order is, I will definitely give you the best price." ”
"Hah...... Thank you then. Mr. Li grinned, very happy.
With Mr. Li's beginning, everyone has more or less placed orders of intent: more than 20,000 or 30,000 units, less than 5,000 or 6,000 units, and in the blink of an eye, a total of more than 80,000 laptop OEM intentions have been reached.
This is amazing, this is more than 80,000 units of intent agreement, even if there is only no legally binding agreement of intent, but as long as the laptop of Lianchuang Technology has no defects that have a heavy impact on the use of the major electronics manufacturers' own tests, this contract will basically not be a problem, in conversion, this is a big contract of more than 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Not to mention that traditional home appliance manufacturers such as Ace also intend to strengthen cooperation with Lianchuang Technology in the field of desktops.
Everyone was smiling, but Lao Liu's face was tense all the time, and he was also one of the leaders of the two companies with the smallest contract amount signed with Lianchuang Technology among the CEOs present.
"Mr. Liu doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" Tan Na said softly.
"He's in a good mood to hell," quickly slanted a glance at Lao Liu, Lin Zheng sighed softly: "Lenovo's Zhaoyang series of laptops, since its launch, has sold less than 30,000 units, which has set a great record, but now we haven't done anything, 80,000 laptops have gone out, although our OEM profits can't be compared with their sales profits, but the total scale is here." ”
In this era when laptops are still high value-added products, even foundry companies have more than 15% profits, strictly speaking, in fact, the profits of foundry companies are not much less than that of brand enterprises.
Some people may not believe it, think that the profits of OEM enterprises are not very meager, is to rely on the scale effect to earn a little hard processing fees, this view is not right, if it is clothing, shoes and hats these low value-added products with little technical content, the profit is indeed very low, a pair of Nike basketball shoes sold in China hundreds of thousands of foundry costs are only seven or eight yuan, but if it is a computer such as high value-added electronic products, the OEM cost is another matter, that is calculated with percentages.
What the? Why don't you produce it yourself, you say? It is extremely cost-effective to calculate in terms of the cost-effectiveness ratio of input and elimination; OEM? There are only a few companies that can produce laptops, and the rules that everyone has agreed on are so easy to break? Even after 2010, when the notebook foundry industry entered the era of meager profits, the profit was 4% to 5%.
"Lao Liu, this person ......" Tan Na frowned: "How do you give me the feeling, the more friends he is, the more you don't discuss it." ”
"......" Lin Zheng smiled bitterly, he didn't speak, what could he say? Shaking his head, he said, "Just take it as ...... Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Although the cooperation process with Lenovo was a little unpleasant, but overall, Lin Zheng was still very satisfied with the development of this period of time, and there was good news from the seaside port, which Lin Zheng had high hopes for, and the seaside city agreed to the conditions of Lianchuang Technology, and when he heard this call, Lin Zheng waved his fist excitedly!
Although the two sides still have some details to discuss in detail, it will take a while from the first start to the signing of the contract, but Lin Zheng understands that when the two sides have reached an agreement on the general direction, it is basically impossible for anything to happen, and no matter which aspect it is, it will not be able to lose this person!
"I don't know what you're happy about, what are you going to do about our mobile phone network access license?" On the plane, Tan Na, who was sitting next to Lin Zheng, muttered quietly. (To be continued......)
