Chapter 810: Qiao Gang Leader's Procurement Alliance
At the time of Madoff's fall, Japan was the third largest victim after the United States and the European Union.
The core members of the six major consortia, including Nomura Securities, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Holdings Co., Ltd., and Dacheng Fire & Marine Insurance, which is No. 1 in Asia, are all victims of the disaster.
The core members of the above-mentioned six major consortia are all known for their stability.
Speaking of Nomura Securities alone, it is Asia's No. 1 Securities that has experienced numerous financial crises and is still standing proudly.
But they planted a big heel in Madoff, so much so that from then on, it was written in the terms of the club that they would rather invest in real estate in China than participate in any Wall Street-led financial investment!
Xiao Qi looked at Madoff's red-faced appearance, and even began to speak with the microphone, and nodded secretly in his heart: Uncle Mai, you'd better pit the Japanese a little more, the more their vitality is damaged, the more helpful it will be for me to short the Japanese economy! By then, I'll have bought enough patents to give you a few more quilts in prison.
"Are the main components of the mobile phone you are going to make still procured in Japan?" Jobs picked up a piece of cake casually and ate it without any image.
"Part of it in Japan." Xiao Qi replied casually.
"So are you interested in doing a purchasing alliance together?" Jobs stared at Xiao Qi and said: "Although the size is different, the high requirements for the product, as well as our alliance with each other, should be able to save costs!" β
Xiao Qi reacted quickly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is in charge of the procurement alliance?" β
Jobs didn't expect Xiao Qi to think of the core problem so quickly, and after being stunned for a while, he didn't reserve it, and said, "Of course it's Apple!" We have a global procurement system. With more than 20 years of experience! After joining in, the cost of the fairy company can be reduced by at least 3%, or even 6%, it is possible! β
Don't underestimate the 3%-6% cost savings that Steve Jobs said.
With the Fairy Company's large-scale sales of at least 30 million DreamPad units in 2007, each purchase is calculated with hundreds of millions of billions of yuan, and a slight saving of one percentage point is a savings of tens of millions.
If you save 3%-6% per year. Enough for a person to become the richest man in a certain small city.
Jobs felt that the ultimate goal of every businessman was to make a profit, and Xiao Qi was no exception, and the bait he threw was enough for him to be tied to the war chariot by himself.
Once the fairy company is added, I am afraid that even Volvo's price purchasing alliance will have to back down and settle for second place.
But Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't participate in this kind of procurement alliance." β
Jobs frowned. βweishenmeοΌβ
"First, I don't like to hand over what I do to others, the most unpleasant thing for a company is to become dependent on other companies, and in the long run, I'm afraid the fairy will have to become a vassal of Apple, right?" Xiao Qi said eloquently: "Second, I am now purchasing a lot in Japan and Treasure Island, and I hope to gradually return to China in the future, so that our country's electronics industry can also develop." And giving them sufficient profits is also an important condition for them to continue to develop. But it's not suitable to cut the price too hard. β
When Jobs heard the first reason, his old face blushed, and when he heard the second reason, he didn't feel that his face was strange, and he looked at Xiao Qi with a mocking expression.
"I never knew you were such a saint." Jobs said amusedly. "If a company can't develop, it can only be its own problem, if you support them like this, and when you leave it alone, will they not be the same as going out of business? This is a deeper dependence than the procurement alliance. β
Xiao Qi smiled but did not speak.
The great success of Steve Jobs' Apple. Benefiting every company in the chain is indeed a model to be praised and learned.
But he is undoubtedly the sole owner of the biggest interests, and he distributes the profits very clearly, only giving some parts manufacturers very little profits, and most of them are taken away by Apple.
Samsung, which knows how to resist and has confidence, used its unique technology for A4, A5 and other chips to force Apple to raise prices one after another, thus ensuring its reasonable profits.
The Red Sea factory, which wants to resist but has no strength, can only rely on the large number of orders and cheap labor prices to earn a negligible hard-earned money.
Later generations also revealed that the Indian factory and the Red Sea factory were treated similarly, and the OEM assemblers had no human rights and no interests, which made the Americans themselves feel that Apple was squeezed too much.
Xiao Qi is absolutely unwilling to become such a person, for his own success, he has to spread white bones under his feet, this kind of bloody money, he can't ask for it at all.
To put it bluntly, in terms of money, the two are not all the way.
Don't look at Jobs, who only receives a salary of $1 a year at Apple, but how much does he own in Apple? How much equity incentive is given to him each year?
He doesn't like to be like Paul though? Allen is as poor and extravagant, but he also likes to possess wealth and have wealth.
What's more, since being kicked out of Apple, Jobs has vowed to succeed again at Apple and let everyone who opposes him know that they are wrong! With this as his ultimate goal, he simply regards Apple as his own, and wishes that Apple would make as much money as possible. Without considering the fact that he was no longer the super largest shareholder who held 11% of Apple back then.
Xiao Qi is different, the young man's personal wealth has surpassed Jobs, and he is firmly ranked in the top ten on the bright side of the whole shijie, but he never attaches importance to money, money is just a tool for him to think about his ideals, and he can live a decent and humble life.
"Whether they can succeed or not depends on the actual situation." Xiao Qi was not angry, and replied calmly: "Among a hundred companies, thirty successes are victories, and fifty are big victories...... As you said, those who fail will eventually fail, and those who succeed will eventually succeed, as long as there are examples of success, are you afraid that they will not work hard? β
"Speaking of success, you're probably the entrepreneurial idol of the Chinese people, right?" Jobs said lightly, "I haven't seen anyone as hard to innovate as you." β
Nonsense.
Unless it is another person who has been reincarnated and reborn, how can it be possible to create such a miracle as the DreamPad under the pressure of your European and American layers?
If you don't open the Jishu patent, it's just that, many entrepreneurs have worked hard to create invention patents, but they have been framed and slandered by you, and they have always returned home in the world, isn't this a means for European and American companies to block China?
Xiao Qi secretly scolded himself, but with a smile on his face: "Starting a business is a very difficult process, maybe they are working hard, can't you see it?" β
"Hmph, I want to see if there is anyone as wicked as you!" Jobs said with a glare.
Jobs was still not reconciled.
IPHONE is the crystallization of Apple's entire company, but DreamPad is only the embodiment of Xiao Qi's wisdom, this miraculous achievement, Europeans and Americans can only use "God's gift" to describe Xiao Qi, but also let Xiao Qi sit on the "father of intelligent electronics" position.
Jobs also thought that he was God's favorite, but he didn't expect that there were people more powerful than him!
Having said that, when Jobs saw Xiao Qi like this, he knew that the procurement alliance couldn't be negotiated, and he secretly felt a little frustrated in his heart.
Although in the long run, the price purchase alliance is a trap for the fairy company, but in the short term, it is very beneficial to the increase of Xiao Qi's wealth.
The young man was not tempted by money at all, and immediately reacted soberly and refused.
Looks like a tough opponent!
After Jobs sighed, his fighting spirit was stirred up again.
Xiao Qi is right, the body is the most important thing, if he only works hard for a few years, he will definitely not be able to bring higher achievements to Apple, and he will not be able to completely defeat this little guy.
After I recover, there will be a chance to compete in the next 20 years! (To be continued......)
