Since Li Xiuwen left, Zhou Ping felt anxious and could not sit still, and started pacing in the conference room.
This time the competitor was Apple. Zhou Ping was not sure that he could win the final victory, so he wanted to rush to the next door to interrupt Li Xiuwen's negotiations with Apple.
Ugh!
Zhou Ping sighed, gritted his teeth, and said to the assistant: "Go to the bathroom and check out Apple's conditions by the way. Or look at the expressions on their faces and come back after seeing them clearly."
"It doesn't seem very good... I'll go now."
Seeing Zhou Ping's firm determination, the assistant agreed. He certainly knows that such behavior is very impolite, but it is related to the company's vital interests and can't take that much into consideration.
A few minutes later, the assistant came back with a frustrated face: "It's not good, Mr. Zhou, Apple seems to have reached an agreement with Li Xiuwen and is signing it."
Failed! Is it going to return without success this time?
Zhou Ping felt a shock in his heart, a feeling of weakness, his mouth was bitter, and his breathing was a little bit difficult.
As far as financial resources are concerned, Xiaomi is inferior to everything. At this stage, is there any way to save it?
Zhou Ping didn't completely admit defeat, he was thinking about finding a way to solve the problem.
咚咚咚.
Li Xiuwen walked in, feeling very good, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, the company will not authorize the battery and screen technology of 3D mobile phones."
Zhou Ping was slightly disappointed in his heart. Even though he was prepared, he still had difficulty accepting the bad news. He felt that Xiaomi was about to miss an important opportunity.
His eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Mr. Li, I want to know what kind of terms Apple's President Yin En has reached a cooperation with the Warcraft Factory?"
"There is nothing to say about this. Apple intends to purchase batteries and screens as components for new phones."
Li Xiuwen laughed: "Apple mobile phone made a lot of money from China, and now it is my turn to make money from it. It's really a cycle."
The contract of intent has been signed, but Apple will not buy in large quantities immediately. It will take ten and a half days before it will start small batch purchases and tests.
However, after the news goes out, the reputation of 3D mobile phones in China will have a huge growth, and it will be the opportunity to start sales. This is a free live advertisement.
"Mr. Li, we at Xiaomi are also willing to purchase these two components at the same price as Apple."
Zhou Ping smiled at the corner of his mouth and finally found a way to solve the difficult problem.
As soon as 3D mobile phones are launched, not to mention completely replacing existing smart phones, they can at least erode 10 to 20% of the mobile phone market and become a trillion-scale market.
The trillion-dollar market is only the price of more than 100 million 3D mobile phones, which is less than one-tenth of the current mobile phone market.
There are apples in North America and Warcraft factories in China, so Europe and South Asia have opportunities to take advantage of!
Zhou Ping's small abacus is very good. He didn't even ask about the price, so he decided to purchase batteries and screens and let the company launch a new mobile phone.
"No, Warcraft Factory is not an opponent of Xiaomi, I don't want to be just a component supplier."
Li Xiuwen shook his head, and refused without thinking.
His purpose is not just to make money, so he can only defeat Zhou Ping's proposal, even if this proposal can make the Warcraft Factory easy to make money.
"What if Xiaomi stated in the contract that mobile phones with batteries and screens are not listed in China?"
Zhou Ping looked at Li Xiuwen with a smile.
"what!"
Li Xiuwen was a little surprised, if it was really like that, it seemed that he could consider it.
The Warcraft Factory can only rely on BBK for its domestic sales channels. I don't know when to get through to foreign countries. It's just that this week it seems I can't be the master.
Li Xiuwen asked with doubts: "Apple purchases screens and batteries for $300 and $50 respectively. Will Xiaomi agree to this price?"
Zhou Ping's eyes widened, and he only felt a chill pouring in from the top of his head, creating regrets. He never expected that Apple would agree to such a high purchase price. This is a trick!
As a veteran in the mobile phone industry, Zhou Ping naturally knows the hardware costs of major companies' main mobile phones. He can almost recite the purchase prices of mobile phone components of companies such as Huawei, ov, and Apple.
In terms of screens alone, Apple X's screen is less than $100, and if you increase the cost of the screen by 200%, is Apple crazy?
The price of Apple X is as high as US$999 to US$1200, and the price of a mobile phone with a 3D screen will reach US$1,500. Do you want to sell a new phone?
Zhou Pianluo hesitated and was shocked by the news, and the pride just disappeared instantly.
Apple, a local tyrant, is willing to spend a lot of money to purchase screens, but Xiaomi is far from the local tyrants and cannot be so bold.
"Mr. Li, can this price drop a little?"
Zhou Pianping showed hope.
"No. The price is already very favorable. After all, I have to spend a lot of money to buy a screen production line, which is not a small sum."
Li Xiuwen looked at the changeable expression on Zhou Ping's face and smiled faintly, without the slightest intention of lowering the price: "Moreover, the purchase quantity may be too small. UU reading www.uukanshu.com requires at least one million pieces to start an order.
Overseas markets such as Europe and South Asia are not smaller than China, and it is impossible to sell 1 million 3D mobile phones without risk. "
Buying the screen and battery production line from the system store is not a small amount of gold, and this cost can be recovered early.
Otherwise, if buyers such as Apple and Xiaomi do not plan to continue purchasing, what about the cost of purchasing the production line?
Zhou Ping looked at Li Xiuwen with a firm tone, and his chest felt uncomfortable. This feeling was the same as when he went to Qualcomm to purchase the latest generation of Snapdragon chips.
This kind of lifeline is in the hands of others, and it is really uncomfortable to have no room for negotiation!
Zhou Ping still remembers Qualcomm's gringo president, how similar the tone and expression of his eyes were to this Li Xiuwen, the same kind of expression: if you like to buy or not, you can get away.
I think Xiaomi wanted to get rid of its dependence on Qualcomm chips and reached a cooperation with MediaTek.
As a result, Xiaomi's main mobile phone failed to get the Qualcomm chip, which made the main mobile phone performance insufficient, and sales suffered a waterloo, which was reduced by half!
In the end, Xiaomi cancelled the cooperation with MediaTek, turned around and hugged Qualcomm's father's thigh, the performance of the main mobile phone has caught up, and sales have improved.
Such a profound lesson has been remembered by every employee of Xiaomi! Senior executives like Zhou Ping have never forgotten.
[Hehe, Xiaomi is completely working for core component suppliers such as Qualcomm and Samsung! ]
Zhou Ping resisted the depression in his heart and said, "I want to call Rebs."
Li Xiuwen nodded.
Five minutes later, Zhou Ping said loudly: "Xiaomi is willing to buy screens for $300."
