Chapter 202: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Chen Jiansheng frowned slightly, what Chen Ying could think of, he naturally thought of, so he said:
"So, it's impossible to stop selling, but now go to MediaTek, sign a supply agreement, design a new phone model, and then adjust the production line, so it's too late for a month, right?"
Li Zhi knew that Chen Jiansheng was asking himself, and he had already prepared: "The key lies in how long it will take to complete the design of the new mobile phone model with MediaTek processing as the core, if it will ......be within ten days."
Li Zhi didn't continue to say this, because he knew that this was obviously impossible.
The mobile phone processor is an integrated chip, which is not as simple as changing the core.
Between different mobile phone processors, because the integrated functions are different, if the processor is replaced, the basic circuit of the mobile phone needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Listening to Li Zhi's words, Chen Jiansheng's eyes couldn't help but turn to Chen Chen, because the industrial design of the mobile phone last time was actually completed by Chen Chen with Xingchen.
"I remember, last time it was just the optimization of the design, and it took fifteen days, right?"
Chen Chen scratched his cheek with his fingers: "Yes." ”
In fact, it only took three days, and the rest of the time was deliberately delayed by Chen Chen in order to reduce the impact on the worldview of ordinary people.
Chen Jiansheng sighed helplessly: "If the processor is replaced, it is actually equivalent to a change in the design plan, and in this case, it is almost inevitable to stop selling......"
After listening to Chen Jiansheng's words, Li Zhi hesitated a little and coughed:
"Actually, there is a not-so-good way. That is, go to other mobile phone manufacturers and let them sell the predetermined Qualcomm processor share.
"Because of the advent of our mobile phones, their mobile phone sales have plummeted, and the original predetermined share of processors will almost certainly not be used up.
"So under normal circumstances, if we were willing to pay for it, they would have sold it.
"The only thing we need to worry about is that we are competitors, and we have just grabbed their market and driven them to a dead end.
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Chen Jiansheng held his forehead with one hand: "Uh...... But this is a bad idea, and I really don't want to deal with them......
"But, it seems, that's the best way to do it, right? No need to redesign or adjust the production line. ”
Li Zhi laughed dryly: "This is also something that can't be helped, in fact, we didn't say it just now, even if we go to MediaTek, we may not be able to get enough processors."
"Their processor share must have been booked out a long time ago, and it will be difficult for him to squeeze out enough share if we go now.
"Because our demand is so great, we can't use any manufacturer's remaining share of the allocated share.
"Even if you go to MediaTek, you have to find other manufacturers to deploy in the end. So actually, we only have one way to go.
"So chairman, look at this matter, are you going or am I going?"
Chen Jiansheng shook his head helplessly: "If you go to me, you must go, go separately, and go door to door to find it!" ”
Li Zhi continued: "Then let's act now? ”
Chen Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and then finally nodded:
"Bear with me, after this year's share, next year's share, Qualcomm dares to sell as much as I want.
"The mobile phone model with the MediaTek processor as the core will also start to be made, and it will not be hanged on the tree of Qualcomm next year."
"I understand." Li Zhi nodded, ready to get up and leave.
Chen Jiansheng and Li Zhi both looked very reluctant, but they were not too pessimistic.
Because they all know in their hearts that if they go to other mobile phone manufacturers for processor share, the possibility of success is very great.
After all, this is a market, and all of them are centered on profits, and if they hold the share of processors empty, but they can't sell the product, they will only occupy funds.
If they sell it to Xingchen Technology, they can also get an extra profit, which can just subsidize their dismal sales.
It's just that they will inevitably make it difficult for the people of Xingchen Technology to negotiate, and they will inevitably offer a very high price.
And Xingchen Technology had to accept it.
In this way, Xingchen Technology's mobile phone sales profits have been taken away by them for nothing.
Chen Chen felt that he was at a loss, and it was unnecessary.
So Chen Chen spoke: "Uncle Li, wait a minute, I have an opinion, you can listen to it, it's not feasible." ”
"Huh?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and stopped his steps.
Chen Jiansheng also raised his head, now he has become more and more convinced of Chen Chen, so when he heard Chen Chen's opinion, he immediately became interested:
"Chenchen, what can you do, say it quickly?"
Chen Chenqing coughed: "I don't think we need to go to other mobile phone manufacturers, let's go directly to Qualcomm and let Qualcomm negotiate with other mobile phone manufacturers." ”
"Let Qualcomm negotiate with us......" Chen Jiansheng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded slightly, "This seems to be a good idea, Lao Li, what do you think?" ”
Li Zhi thought for a while: "I think it's worth a try, ordinary mobile phone manufacturers generally don't dare to offend Qualcomm easily, otherwise they will cut off the supply at least and sue you for infringement."
And Qualcomm is good at one-on-one negotiation, that is, each break, and he has extremely rich experience in how to negotiate with downstream mobile phone manufacturers.
"What's more, above the mall, everything speaks with the market and sales. It is the uncle who occupies the market, and if you can't sell things and can't get back the money, it's normal for the supplier to stop supplying them.
"We are Qualcomm's largest customer now, and we will be the largest customer in the future, next year's shipments, we can even eat them all, help us now, for Qualcomm is a gesture, they have no reason to refuse."
Chen Jiansheng also nodded slightly: "Yes, those mobile phone manufacturers can't sell the goods, and naturally they won't be in a hurry to find Qualcomm for the goods behind, so Qualcomm will give us all the production capacity this month."
"Since they are not in a hurry to get the goods, then their orders continue to be postponed! And we will maintain a high level of sales for a long time to come.
"The number of orders we have next year will definitely exceed that of all previous mobile phone manufacturers, and this is what we rely on to demand from Qualcomm.
"For Qualcomm, it should not be difficult to make a choice between whether to continue to hold on to inventory and wait for other mobile phone manufacturers to pick up the goods, or sell them directly to us in cash."
After listening to Chen Jiansheng's analysis, the expression on Li Zhi's face was obviously much more relaxed: "Okay, I'll go and communicate with Qualcomm now." ”
"Let's go......" Chen Jiansheng nodded, and then sighed again, "It's a pity that we don't have our own processor, so we can only be controlled by others......"
Li Zhi shook his head helplessly: "This is also something that can't be helped, our own mobile phone, this is just starting, and we don't have the conditions to think about our own processor."
"Like Huawei, with the background of the world's largest communication equipment manufacturer, it has been developed for so many years, and it can barely catch up with Qualcomm......"
