Chapter 194: The sky-high asking price
"Chang, have you inquired about the head?"
Wu Tian sat leisurely on the sofa in the general manager's office of Fengyun Company, and while talking, he took the strong tea made by General Manager Bai and took a sip.
Fengyun Company's lawsuit against the municipal government made a fuss, but Fengyun Company didn't seem to take it seriously at all, and it was running as usual, and because after contacting the factory in southern Jiangsu, it was found that the production capacity of the factory there was even higher than that of the second electrical appliance factory, so it simply adjusted this year's sales plan, preparing to rush the Fengyun brand electric fan out of the original three provincial markets and expand the sales area and scale.
However, Wu Tian doesn't need to worry about these things, the operation of the electric fan project is already very mature, and expanding the market is nothing more than sending Zhang Xinhua to nearby provinces and cities to advertise and contact merchants, and even Chang Tianhua doesn't have to go out.
After finalizing the foundry, Mr. Chang has put his main energy into the new project arranged by Wu Tian - the Walkman, and the first problem to be solved is the tape recorder head.
"Well, according to the current situation, the current domestic head production line, part of the domestic independent research and development, the production of head technology is relatively backward, single function, and there are also some new production lines introduced from abroad, can produce two-channel stereo head and recording and playback integrated head, the technology is still relatively advanced." Chang Tianhua said, "But after I contacted them, there are two who are willing to supply us, but the supply is limited, far from the standard you set." ”
At the end of the 90s, the cumulative sales of the WALKMAN reached 250 million units! Wu Tian's copycat plan, of course, will not set such a large expected sales, but it is still necessary to sell 100,000 units a year. Otherwise, what's the point of doing it? But that's the number. In the present. It's not a small scale, I'm afraid that no electronics factory in China dares to say that it can supply so many heads, not to mention those factories with head production lines, basically all of them also produce tape recorders, and people will give us excess capacity at most.
"How many more should you find?" Wu Tian asked unwillingly.
Chang Tianhua said with a smile: "Xiaotian, the number is guaranteed, but the problem is that different head models and corresponding circuits are also different." Mass production in the factory will be very troublesome. ”
"Tsk......" Wu Tian picked up the teacup depressedly and drank it.
"Hehe, in fact, this problem is easy to solve, it's a big deal that we can just put on a few head production lines." Chang Tianhua said.
"How much does that cost?" Wu Tian shook his head and said.
"Or overcharge." Chang Tianhua said with a smile, "I have already asked, the introduction of a single-amplification head production line from the little devil is only tens of thousands of dollars, and the single-amplification head of the two-channel channel is already a backward technology in Ridao, and they are happy to sell it to us." The production line of the integrated recording and playback head is a little more expensive, about hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we can use a single playback head and a recording head solution......"
Wu Tian thought for a moment. "The most important thing for the Walkman is to be small in size, and the dual heads take up too much space. Don't think about it. However, for the time being, we don't need to introduce the recording and playback head production line, only two single-play head production lines, the factory can first produce a single playback machine, and then make a record and play machine after making money! ”
"Okay, I'll let the little devil on Hong Kong Island get in touch." Chang Tian Hua Road.
"Hmm." Wu Tian nodded, and was about to speak, but there was a knock on the office door, so he stopped.
"Please come in!" Bai Jie said.
The door was pushed open, but I saw four or five people standing outside the door, the first two people did not enter the door, laughter came first, the fifty-year-old, slightly bald guy entered the door, while greeting affectionately: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Chang, hello, hehe......"
"Oh, it's Director Fang and Director Ji here? Come in, please sit ......" Chang Tianhua and Bai Jie hurriedly greeted them and beckoned them to sit down on the sofa.
Wu Tian understood who was coming, the first two older ones were the director of the Second Light Bureau, and the middle-aged man in his forties was Ji Weiping, the new director of the Second Electrical Appliance Factory. However, even though four or five people poured in the room at once, and the sofa was a little nervous, Wu Tian still occupied the single sofa on the main seat and drank it by himself, holding the teacup.
Director Fang and the others saw that Wu Tian had no eyes, but they didn't dare to speak out, didn't they see that Mr. Bai and Mr. Chang were speechless? Who knows who this little kid is Mr. Bai and Mr. Chang? It is impossible to say that the three followers can only move the stools and sit down, leaving only two long sofas, so that Mr. Bai, Mr. Chang, Director Fang, and Director Ji can sit down opposite each other.
"Director Fang and Director Ji, the two of you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, right?" Chang Tianhua asked with a smile after waiting for the secretary to serve tea to everyone.
"Hey, Mr. Chang is right, this time the two of us came over, we really want to discuss something with Mr. Bai and Mr. Chang." Director Fang said, "Well, Mr. Chang should also be able to guess that it was this misunderstanding between you and the Second Electrical Appliance Factory......
"Director Fang, what I said is a bit inaccurate, there is no misunderstanding between our company and the second electrical appliance factory." Bai Jie said lightly, but the tone without waves was full of firmness.
Director Fang's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said with a dry smile: "Mr. Bai, you dissipate your anger, this matter, the second electrical appliance factory is indeed a little sorry for your company, but if there is any problem, we can discuss and solve it behind closed doors, there is no need to go to court, and the city will be full of storms......"
"Director Fang, it's not that we haven't reported the situation to the city and the bureau, but how did the city and the bureau reply to us, you won't forget, right?" Bai Jie said with a frosty face.
"Uh, this ......" Director Fang was suddenly out of words, it had only been two days since the incident, and he naturally remembered how a representative of Fengyun Company went to talk to him with lawyer Cao Datong, how he blew people away. At that time, I said very hard words, who would have thought that it had only been a few days, and I would have to come to say good things to others? But Mayor Yuan had an order, and he had to come to the door with a hard head and a cheeky face.
Ji Weiping saw that Director Fang was poor, so he couldn't say it, smacked his lips, and said: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Chang, this matter is indeed a little considered in the factory, but the matter has come to this point, it must be properly resolved, I think this is good, your company will withdraw the lawsuit from the court first, and our factory will give your company some compensation for losses, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, how much compensation can the factory give us?" Bai Jie asked lightly.
When Ji Weiping heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, it seems that Fengyun Company has been making trouble for a long time, not just for a few money. As long as they ask for money, it is easy to say, spend a few dollars to send them away, and if you can successfully complete Mayor Yuan's explanation, it will be better than anything else.
Ji Weiping and Director Fang exchanged glances and said, "Well, 200,000, how about it?" ”
Bai Jie sneered and said, "Director Ji, are you kidding me?" Excuse me, do you know what the profit of our Fengyun brand electric fan is in a year? Excluding the share of the second electrical appliance factory and the taxes paid to the state, what is our net profit for a year? Now there are more than three years to go before the cooperation agreement we signed with the second electrical appliance factory, you calculate how much profit we should make during the contract period! You make up this number for us, and we will withdraw the lawsuit immediately, otherwise, we will see you in court! ”
In the complaint filed by Fengyun Company to the court, it is to ask the municipal government and the second electrical appliance factory to compensate Fengyun Company for its losses of more than 18 million, Ji Weiping naturally knows this situation, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, everyone understands the truth of asking for money on the spot, but who knows that Bai Jie is so tough, and when it comes to private peace talks, he still wants to bite this price code?
Ji Weiping's face turned red and white, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Bai, are you a lion with his mouth wide open?" ”
Bai Jie smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Director Fang hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Bai, don't be angry, hehe, this, let's sit down and have a good talk, if you have something to say, say it slowly, hehe......"
Bai Jie smiled: "Hehe, do you know that you have something to say at this time?" When the factory unilaterally tore up the agreement, why didn't you talk to our company and negotiate slowly? ”
Director Fang couldn't help but be embarrassed, and he was very reluctant to laugh. When Ji Weiping wanted to break off cooperation with Fengyun Company, but he talked to him about it, Director Fang was also very much in favor of it, and Mayor Yuan agreed, so the two immediately made a decision, where did they consider whether Fengyun Company agreed? Even the prior notice was not given, and the factory directly stopped supplying.
"Mr. Bai, even if this matter goes to court, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will definitely be able to win the lawsuit, right? Do you really think the court will make the factory pay you so much money? Ji Weiping had long lost a hint of a fake smile on his face, and said in a strange manner.
"Then don't worry about the factory director, how to judge the court, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, our company is not short of this little money, we just want to go to the court to seek justice." Bai Jie said lightly.
Ji Weiping was finally angered by Bai Jie's arrogance, is this one determined to tell us to the end? In this way, if you can't complete the task assigned by Mayor Yuan, you have to eat and hang, and more importantly, this matter is really going to court, and there is a big movement, I'm afraid that Mayor Yuan will also have to be very passive, and I'm afraid that we will have to be used as cannon fodder at that time!
"Mr. Bai, this matter is a big problem, and it will have an impact on the factory, but I'm afraid it won't be good for your company, right?" Ji Weiping stood up and said with a cold face, "Don't forget, this is not your Hong Kong Island, this is a mall!" Director Fang, let's go! ”
"Walk slowly, don't send." Bai Jie said lightly.
Seeing a few people walking out of the office in a hurry, Bai Jie sighed lightly, turned his head with a worried face and said to Wu Tian, who was sitting there with the old god: "Xiaotian, will this be a bit too much?" ”
"Hehe, it's not at all, it's not too ruthless to deal with this kind of thing." Wu Tian said lightly, "This Yuan Chenyang, the shelf is quite big, it's all so troublesome, and he hasn't even come forward in person?" Well, Lao Chang, arrange two more reporters to go around the factory and the municipal government, and interview Mayor Yuan himself......" (to be continued......)
