Chapter 1074: The Last Fire
Zheng Jiayu smiled mischievously: "I told him that there are many manufacturers who contact us to ship now, no matter what price he offers, he needs to queue up, and the main orders we buy now are from Chicago, let him wait, I will call if necessary." ”
After Zheng Jiayu finished speaking, he added: "In fact, except for IBM, six or seven companies have called in the past few days, and I basically politely refused. ”
"Not bad." Li Siwen nodded in approval.
"Don't we need to sweep lately?" Zheng Jiayu asked curiously.
"Yes, but in a different way." Li Siwen explained.
"A different way?" Zheng Jiayu asked softly, "In what way?" ”
"Because of the limited parts, the only thing we can be self-sufficient is MP3, and the average monthly supply of this product is about 400,000 units, so 1.5 million LCD panels are enough for us to last a few days. However, in order to stimulate the price inflation of LCD panels, our sweeping cannot be terminated, and we can take a number of small quantities to purchase, and at the same time create some public opinion to follow up. Li Siwen explained.
"A small number of many? That is, we buy less goods in every company, but will this cause suspicion among others? Zheng Jiayu asked.
"That's where you go." Li Siwen looked at Zheng Jiayu and said.
"I'm going to do it?" Zheng Jiayu asked puzzledly, "How to operate?" ”
"To put it simply, let's make a bureau, from today onwards I will not show up, all the things that talk about cooperation are up to you, if company A calls and wants to sell goods, you tell him that we have imported a large number of goods from other companies, if he asks, you refuse to disclose on the grounds of trade secrets. If Company A is more sincere, you will buy less goods from the other party on the grounds of making personal friends, and tell the other party that it will buy a large number of goods immediately when necessary, whether it is 10,000 orders or 20,000 orders or 50,000 orders according to the size of the other party.
In this way, we not only reassured these companies, but also created public opinion to sweep goods, but in fact, in addition to taking 1.5 million orders from Motorola, other companies have only entered a little bit. Li Siwen smiled confidently when he said this: "Do you know what this strategy is?" ”
"What strategy?" Zheng Jiayu was very curious.
"Fish Food Strategy." Li Siwen said with a slight meaning.
"Fish food strategy?" Zheng Jiayu couldn't laugh or cry: "Have you forgotten that I studied business management?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
"Can you learn it from a book, it's still called a strategy?" Li Siwen smiled: "Standing in front of the fish pond and throwing a handful of food into it, there will be countless fish swarming, they will not doubt whether they can eat and run away in the end, they will only spin in place in anticipation of the next feeding." ”
"Oops, that sounds like that." Zheng Jiayu laughed.
"What is the matter, as long as this matter is operated well, the market will inevitably boil." Li Siwen affirmed.
Zheng Jiayu also agreed with Li Siwen's statement, but after thinking for a while, he said: "But I don't think this situation will last too long, and when we really run out of food, this group of fish will disperse sooner or later." ”
"As long as we can hold on until the end of the Internet Expo on June 1st, it's fine." Li Siwen said with a smile.
"Looks like you're going to make a big move again." Zheng Jiayu raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to ask, but saw Li Siwen make a silent gesture: "It's boring to say it." ”
"Hey, I don't want to hear it yet." Zheng Jiayu glanced at him, twisted his graceful posture and left angrily, at this time Chen Qiuyu came over and said with a smile: "Boss, did you make Sister Jiayu angry again?" ”
"How dare I mess with her." Li Siwen snorted, and Chen Qiuyu handed him the phone in his hand: "Brother Chang Hai's phone." ”
"Okay, you go get busy first!" Li Siwen took the phone and said, "Brother, is there something wrong?" ”
"Brother Wen, the batch of goods from the beautiful country has been proposed, because the customs side has to be reviewed, so it has been delayed for several days, and I found that the customs always seem to be targeting us. If it weren't for Xu Vice City this time, it would take a week to bring it up. Tsunekai complained.
"Customs belongs to a single system, and the relationship with us was not good in the early years, they didn't dare to talk when we were going well, but now the situation in Datang is well known." Li Siwen said in a deep voice.
"Damn, now even small fish and shrimp dare to step on us." Chang Hai scolded.
"Okay, as long as the goods are mentioned, arrange workers to produce as soon as possible, and the orders for hundreds of thousands of units dragged by Longguang have not been delivered." Li Siwen said.
"Don't worry,This side is already at full power,But there have been news reports in China about Datang's high-priced purchase of display screens,Such a high price,If we MP3 don't raise the price,It will be a loss。 Tokokai replied.
"There is no need to raise the price, even if you have to buy at a loss, now that major companies have begun to make efforts in the MP3 sector, we just want to occupy market share in a short period of time." Li Siwen said seriously: "As for the money I lost today, I will earn it back sooner or later." ”
"I know, but the books of our headquarters are about to be lost, although we have made a lot of money by VCD chips for more than a year, but basically you have invested it, and the most important thing is that as our company gets bigger and bigger, the salary of employees and the investment in research and development are not small expenses." Chang Hai muttered two sentences and suddenly realized something: "I won't tell you this little thing, but there is one thing to tell you, since you decided to adjust the VCD chip to 15 US dollars, a large number of VCD companies have come to us to order, and some old customers have also returned, but the grapevine said that Philips and Samsung will also reduce prices." ”
"They drop, we also drop, anyway, the chip money has earned enough, even if we don't make a penny, we can't let them eat the sweetness in the market, I just want them to know the fate of moving my cake." Li Siwen said fiercely.
"Brother Wen, I have to say, what you do is really amazing, they have invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, but in the end they can't make any money, I guess they want to cry." Chang Hai couldn't help but sigh when he said: "Technology really has to be in front." ”
There is nothing wrong with saying this, and it is precisely in this method that the developed countries continue to encircle and suppress China, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
"Okay, don't sigh, remember to help me bring a good one to Chief Engineer Kong, so that they can get the DVD chip out as soon as possible." Li Siwen said.
"Okay, leave it to me......"
Chang Hai and Li Siwen chatted a few words at the end and hung up the phone in a hurry, and then Li Siwen began to analyze the next steps alone.
——
In May 1995, it was definitely the most chaotic month in the economic circle of the beautiful country, since the beginning of the month, the topic of LCD panels has been high, coupled with Li Siwen's operation, the market has been chaotic.
At first, it was just a newspaper crazy reprint report on the LCD panel, but in the middle of the year, even TV stations began to track this problem, and even CNN opened a special feature for this broadcast.
If the successive media bombardments of Lao Mei can still be endured, then by the end of May, Lao Mei has completely broken the defense, and this is all due to an explosive news.
On May 26, Li Siwen sat in front of the TV early in the morning, and his eyes never took off the news channel.
"Sister Jiayu, the boss doesn't know what's wrong these days, he often gets up at five or six o'clock in the morning and sits on the sofa to watch the news, motionless, and he doesn't pay attention to me when I talk to him."
Chen Qiuyu saw Zheng Jiayu coming out of the bedroom, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper, and finally asked: "Is it because there has been no movement in the beautiful country for a long time, and the boss is a little worried?" ”
"Probably not, right?" Zheng Jiayu muttered in a low voice, then walked up to Li Siwen and observed carefully for a few seconds, and whispered, "Sven, are you okay?" ”
Li Siwen didn't answer, his eyes were still staring at the news, his brain was running rapidly at the moment, according to the memories of his previous life, he remembered that a major event happened in the beautiful country in late May, which he also saw in the magazine, but he couldn't remember the specific time for a while, and this matter was also related to the success of the layout.
"Is he alright?" Li Fuzhen walked out of the bathroom at this time.
"It should be fine, I think he's thinking about something, or we shouldn't bother him." Zheng Jiayu whispered.
Several people nodded after listening, but at this time, the TV news host suddenly reported: "At seven o'clock this morning, I received a notice from relevant people that the third round of automobile trade negotiations between China and Japan in Canada broke down completely, and Clinton authorized the decision to retaliate against Japan for refusing to open its automobile and auto parts market, and filed a lawsuit against Japan's trade behavior to the World Trade Organization, and it is expected that China will announce in the near future that it will impose 100 percent tariffs on 13 kinds of Japanese luxury cars such as Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, and Mitsubishi... …”
"Beautiful!" Li Siwen's voice suddenly sounded like thunder, and only then did he realize that everyone was nearby, and hurriedly added: "I tell you, this is the news I am waiting for." As soon as the auto negotiations break down, the contradictions in the relationship between the two countries will inevitably continue to deepen, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the retaliatory tariffs will affect the LCD panels. ”
After Li Siwen explained, he laughed, then stretched and said, "What are you all doing in a daze?" Is breakfast ready? ”
"You still know how to have breakfast? We all thought you were demented. Zheng Jiayu scolded coldly.
This sentence provoked Chen Qiuyu to giggle: "That's why Sister Jiayu dares to say that, boss." ”
"Hey, I don't know her like her." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "Everyone clean up after eating today, Qiu Yu will book the nearest ticket to San Francisco in a while, and we will leave Chicago." ”
"What are you doing in San Francisco?" Li Fuzhen asked curiously.
"Of course, it's to participate in the Internet Expo, which will be the last fire I will burn for the beautiful country." The corners of Li Siwen's mouth slowly hooked an arc.
On May 28, 1995, Li Siwen and his group boarded a plane to San Francisco, and Lu Shuhang set off three days early because he wanted to help Li Siwen get admission tickets.
On May 29, as soon as a group of people landed, Lu Shuhang, who came to pick up the plane, stuffed a newspaper into Li Siwen's arms: "Brother, look at it, victory is just around the corner." ”
Li Siwen took the newspaper and read it, and it was clearly written that the beautiful country had approved a 100 percent retaliatory tariff on the Japanese automobile industry.
"Yo, the action is so fast, the proposal was passed in just three days?" Li Siwen said with a smile.
"Yes, this kind of hooliganism in the beautiful country never drags the mud and water." Lu Shuhang laughed: "Maybe it's used to being a hooligan, I heard some reporter friends say that the main reason for the breakdown of negotiations in Canada is that beautiful countries not only want to open up other people's markets, but also want other people's technology, and Japan will definitely not agree!" ”
Lu Shuhang paused slightly: "By the way, you should also pay attention to this matter, right?" ”
"It's not just attention, he doesn't want to wait for this news, I wonder if he knows something in advance." Zheng Jiayu, who was walking on the side, said.
"Brother, don't listen to her nonsense, I also watched the news to know that the two countries have negotiated in Canada." Li Siwen explained.
"Brother, it doesn't matter, you look at the following content and look back." After Lu Shuhang finished speaking, he helped to point and said: "This string of small words said, in addition to the imposition of tariffs on automobiles, it is likely that relevant sanctions will be imposed on other fields, which is obviously putting pressure on Japan, according to the temper of the United States, I estimate that this wave of punitive tariffs is not running, and if you are lucky, it will affect the panel field, and I have heard that this Internet Expo may play a decisive role." ”
"That's why I came to San Francisco." Li Siwen nodded and finished speaking, and suddenly said, "Brother, have you got the admission ticket?" ”
"Of course, although it cost some money, it's not much, you don't have to give it to me, it's only 20,000 US dollars!" Lu Shuhang pretended to be generous while reminding Li Siwen of the price.
This made Li Siwen laugh, and deliberately said: "How can I give you money, you are my own brother." ”
"Ahem, there is a saying that is called "Brothers and Brothers."
Lu Shuhang hurriedly reminded.
"But there is also a saying that talking about money hurts feelings."
Li Siwen hurriedly retorted.
Lu Shuhang glared at the other party angrily: "Okay, you are ruthless." ”
The conversation between the two made everyone laugh, and soon everyone came to the front of a small car, and just as everyone entered the car, Li Siwen's phone rang.
"You guys go in first, wait for me."
Li Siwen walked to the back of the car with his mobile phone, and then pressed the answer button, and a man's voice came from inside: "Brother Wen, I have arrived in Los Angeles, do you have any instructions?" ”
Hearing this familiar voice, the corners of Li Siwen's mouth showed a slightly cruel sneer, and after a while, he said four words: "Pay attention to safety." ”
"Got it, Brother Wen!"
