Chapter 377: The Great Layout

"Duke, this is a plan of mine, how about you take a look?" When Cai Siqiang saw Duke, he didn't talk nonsense, opened his notebook directly, and showed Duke an investment plan he considered.

"Build a mobile phone factory with an annual output of 5 million mobile phones, and a smart TV with an annual output of 3 million units?" Duke looked at the main indicators of Cai Siqiang's investment draft and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Is there such a large market space in the South Asian market to digest this capacity? No, we built these two factories, but we couldn't sell what we produced. Duke asked, skeptically.

"Hehe, don't worry, this is only the first phase of the project, Duke," Cai Siqiang explained with a smile, "We are not only targeting the South Asian market, but also the Middle East Muslim market, after all, Bangladesh, as one of the poorest Muslim countries, has preferential economic and trade exchanges with many Middle Eastern Muslim countries, and there are also considerations between countries to help poor brothers." ”

"It's a richer market than Ah San, and the consumption of luxury goods is much bigger than the South Asian market, and through the factory in Bangladesh, we can better radiate this market."

I see, Duke rarely asked about business matters, and when he heard Cai Siqiang say this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that he was able to find this kind of business wizard, otherwise even if he was excellent in technology and not good in business operation, SAL would not have developed to the point where it is today.

"But I remember that our mobile phone production capacity seems to have been oversold for a long time, isn't it a waste to do another one like this?" Duke also has a question, the new Nokia Mobile, the original annual production capacity of more than 200 million, in today's new Nokia Mobile to the high-end, a lot of production capacity needs to be contracted.

According to the plan, it would be good to be able to retain about half of it in the end, and from the perspective of the current mobile phone market, the new Nokia Mobile can occupy more than 100 million mid-to-high-end markets is basically the limit. Most of the low-end feature machine production capacity will be eliminated. It's just that the time has not yet come, and this part of the production capacity is still lingering.

It's just that there is already some excess capacity and then build a new factory, which will have greater resistance to the elimination of low-end functional machine production capacity in the future, especially the trade union in Europe will definitely use this as an excuse to prevent the company from eliminating production capacity.

For the future layout of the new Nokia Mobile, Cai Siqiang's move seems to be a little inappropriate in Duke's view.

"We are ready to sell the production capacity of low-end feature phones directly, and now someone has begun to contact and prepare to take over, for some domestic mobile phone manufacturers, zero cost to take over a few first-class mobile phone production plants in Europe worth tens of millions of euros, for them is also a temptation, anyway, low-end mobile phones are always done, a year to increase the production capacity of hundreds of millions of units, for their competitiveness is also a great enhancement." Cai Siqiang said confidently, "Soon, we will be able to travel lightly." ”

It turned out that this was the case, and Duke suddenly realized.

Although the feature phone market is shrinking more and more, as long as the poor people in this world also have communication needs, then this market will not completely disappear, although the profit margin of this market is lower, but for those high-end market can not squeeze in, the mid-end market is untenable manufacturers are also a way to survive by doing large-scale access to lower cost advantages.

For these manufacturers, in the case of a large enough scale, there are 3 to 5 percentage points of profit can already be snickered.

"You see, we think so, Europe will probably retain a production center, mainly for the European market and the American market, on the one hand, close to the market, on the other hand, after all, the quality of products produced in China, in the current situation, left to these European and American users or a negative impression, we are all high-end models, can not take risks in this aspect."

"And then the Asia-Pacific market will retain a production center in Chengdu, while the South Asian and Middle East markets will rely mainly on this factory that is going to be set up in Bangladesh, so that we can maintain a cost advantage in production and also make sure that we minimize tariff barriers in individual consumer countries."

Hearing Cai Siqiang say this, Duke realized that the company had already considered this aspect holistically, and he was a little worried about it just now.

"Originally, the Maldives was not bad, but now we have an excellent political and business relationship there, Dong Feng, this kid can now have morning tea with the president and many ministers at any time, and life is quite nourishing, but the population and area of this country are too small, and workers, factories, and power supply are all problems."

"In comparison, our main consideration was in Pakistan, because the relationship between them and the country is strong enough, and even the political situation will not have much impact on the factory, but unfortunately their relationship with the Asanmen is really too bad.

Relatively speaking, although Bangladesh has a worse foundation, but Ah San wants to win him over, and there are many more preferential conditions in trade than Pakistan, but we have no contact with the dignitaries here, although Bangladesh has good diplomatic relations with our country, but the political situation here is relatively turbulent, and it is really a little uneasy to rush over without a little connection, after all, such a big move, once it falls, it is not easy to change. ”

"But now we take advantage of the momentum of the old Li family, and you have also entered the circle of political leaders of the authorities in one fell swoop, and you can complement each other with the nuclear power plant in the future, and the development of this market will be twice the result with half the effort, hehe, speaking of which, it depends on the blessing of the old Li family." Cai Siqiang couldn't help but laugh a little proudly when he said this, because so far, the cooperation between SAL and Lao Li's family seems to have taken advantage of SAL's side.

Being able to take advantage of Lao Li's family, as a business person, even if Cai Siqiang has more and more confidence in himself, he knows that it is really not easy.

After listening to the ins and outs of this, Duke nodded frequently in approval, and was quite impressed by Cai Siqiang's layout concept. Cai Siqiang's vision has become wider and wider, and similar layouts have begun to be handy, and Duke feels that this kid is really getting closer and closer to a world-class entrepreneur.

With this understanding, Duke was of course more clear about who he was looking for, and he took Cai Siqiang to visit the people who were close to this matter among the newly acquainted dignitaries.

Duke, the God of Wealth, took the initiative to visit so quickly, which surprised these dignitaries in Bangladesh, and when they heard that there were two more factories with an annual output value of billions of dollars to be opened in Bangladesh, this surprise directly turned into extremely shocking news in the local area.

After the news spread, even President Ahmed couldn't help but meet with Duke and Cai Siqiang and their entourage to have a detailed and frank exchange on this investment intention, and President Ahmed expressed his full support for the investment plan of SAL and the Bangladeshi authorities will provide all necessary support, including tax incentives and infrastructure support.

With the support of these dignitaries, Cai Siqiang's Bangladesh strategy plan went very smoothly and soon entered the stage of substantive business negotiations.
