Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.
Chapter 469 Disrupting the International Market
The two companies were originally very close to each other. After President Ren returned to the company exhausted, he didn't even have time to take off his suit jacket and immediately convened an emergency meeting of senior management.
Inside the conference room, the air was filled with tension.
President Ren slowly recounted the details of the negotiation, his tone somewhat helpless.
As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting room suddenly became noisy. A senior vice president couldn't help but complain:
"Boss Hao's offer is simply outrageous!
1500 yuan per chip? That's a whopping price!
You know, the design drawings for this product haven’t even been released yet!”
"No, it's the only one of its kind in the world, so you're lucky to be able to buy it.
To be honest, if it were me, I'm afraid the quote would be higher.
After all, resources are scarce." Another executive shook his head and sighed.
President Ren looked around and saw the intense reactions of the senior executives. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Well, this is the situation. It's quite tricky.
Everyone may wish to express their own opinions and see if there is any good solution. "
A sales vice president suddenly interrupted and said, "Mr. Ren, are they really determined not to sell lithography machines?
Even if we offer 20 billion yuan, they will remain unmoved?"
President Ren shook his head, frowning: “Not for sale.
You have to understand that Future Technology Group is wealthy and has no shortage of this money.
If we were in their shoes, we wouldn’t sell this cutting-edge technology so easily.”
He paused and added, "You know, the most advanced EDU lithography machine in the international market is priced at $1.4 million.
We offered a price of over $2 million, but they remained unmoved and restricted the sale to us."
President Ren smiled bitterly and continued, “To be honest, it’s too naive to think that you can buy the lithography machine of Future Technology Group for 20 billion yuan.
This cutting-edge equipment is simply a money printing machine!
If they are really willing to sell, even for 30 billion yuan, I will buy it without hesitation.
Given the current market conditions, the entire investment cost can be recovered in two years at most, and after that it will be pure profit."
The meeting room fell silent, and everyone was lost in thought.
The Vice President of Sales broke the silence: "Our most expensive mobile phone currently has a terminal price of less than 5,000 yuan. Procuring a chip like this, the price would be around 8,000 yuan."
Huawei AscendP1 and AscendD1 are considered the company's most high-end mobile phones, priced at around 4000 yuan.
Prices of other flagship phones:
iPhone 4S: 5000-6500 yuan
Four-star Galaxy Note/S3: 5000-6500 yuan
HTO: High-end models are around 4000-5000 yuan
Nokia: Top-end models are around 4000-5000 yuan
(Prices may fluctuate in different regions and periods)
At this time, Huawei had not yet entered the high-end mobile phone market, and mainly focused on the mid-to-low-end market. The prices of its flagship phones were generally lower than those of international brands such as Pingguo and Sixing.
Pingguo and Sixing's flagship models are in the highest price segment in the current mobile phone market.
"If we really want to purchase it, we can only cut out other configurations and focus on the processor." A vice president of technology suggested, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, but also a hint of hope. "I think we can give it a try. First, it will help enhance our brand influence and enter the high-end market;
Secondly, maybe this phone will really be a hit.”
"If we just replace the processor with Future Technology Group, the other configurations don't need to be improved much, and the purchase cost will only increase by 1200-1500 yuan, raising the price from 4,000 yuan to 6500 to 7000 yuan. Maybe there will be a market for it." A vice president suggested that the price of the processor purchased for their flagship mobile phone is not low, reaching 700 yuan.
Replacing the processor with Future Technology Group will cost 800 yuan more, and other configurations will be improved accordingly, so the total purchase cost will increase by 1200-1500 yuan, and the selling price will increase by 2500-3000 yuan, which is relatively reasonable.
Moreover, if sales increase significantly, the price of purchased processors can be reduced to less than 1200 yuan, and the actual increased cost of the processor is not much.
"Well, we can give it a try and see how the market reacts." Mr. Ren finally made the decision. He had always wanted to give it a try.
If they can successfully launch a high-end phone, their brand influence and market share will be significantly improved.
In the future, most mobile phone chips can be purchased from Future Technology Group, and we will not be subject to foreigners.
……
As the sun sets,
The working hours had long passed, but Hao Qiang was still busy in his office on the 37th floor.
Since his family moved to the 38th floor in the afternoon, the boundary between his work and life has become more blurred, and he is in no hurry to leave.
Hao Qiang rubbed his tired eyes, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the events that happened in the morning.
It’s a bit frustrating that we can’t find the murderer.
It is also impossible for him to pay money to kill people.
What he can do, others can do too.
Hao Qiang has children and a wife, and he cannot afford to exchange injuries for injuries.
For now, it's just targeting him.
There will always be a day when the truth comes out, and I will have the ability to protect my family's safety. After I have fully investigated the truth, I will settle the score and not give the other party a chance to counterattack.
If he had no family, this would be much easier.
There is no way to hide at the moment, so we should suppress them economically and eat up their market share.
After figuring this out, Hao Qiang felt a lot less burdened.
He picked up his cell phone, called Wang Jian, and asked about the situation of A Kun's family.
A few minutes later, he gained a better understanding of the situation.
The pillar of a family has fallen, and the family members are immersed in grief and are currently in the hospital.
Hao Qiang pondered for a moment and decided to go to the hospital to visit in person.
He stood up and returned to the 38th floor, saying to Han Qingying and Qiu Yuqing, "I'm going to the hospital to visit A Kun's family."
Upon hearing this, Han Qingying gently hugged Hao Qiang and said softly, "Well, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
When she first learned about this, she was terrified.
Qiu Yuqing also said with concern: "We'll wait for you to come back and have dinner together."
Hao Qiang nodded in agreement and immediately arranged the travel arrangements.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at a nearby hospital.
When he walked into the ward, he saw A Kun's wife and his parents.
A Kun's wife lives in Future City and she knows very well that her husband has been protecting his boss.
Seeing Hao Qiang coming, a complex look flashed in her eyes, which contained both gratitude and unspeakable sadness.
As she thought about it, she cried even more bitterly: "Wuwu... What should I do in the future? You're gone like this, wuwu..."
The ward was filled with a suffocating and heavy atmosphere. The smell of disinfectant mixed with sadness made the whole space seem particularly depressing.
Hao Qiang walked slowly to the bedside and his eyes fell on A Kun, who was completely covered by white cloth.
The dazzling white seemed to silently tell the fragility of life.
A complex emotion surged in Hao Qiang's heart, a mixture of guilt and gratitude.
He took a deep breath, turned to A Kun's wife, and said softly, "Please accept my condolences.
A Kun is not only an excellent employee, but also my good brother.
None of us expected something like this, and we share your grief."
He paused and continued, “The perpetrators have received the appropriate sanctions.
Wang Jian should have already discussed with you the subsequent consolation work.
Here, I solemnly promise you personally and on behalf of the company that we will honor everything he said without reservation."
Seeing that her crying had subsided, Hao Qiang continued, "We will be fully responsible for the child's education from now until he graduates from university. As long as he has good character, Future Technology Group welcomes him to join at any time.
The house you are living in now is your own house and the company will not take it back. Please live there with peace of mind.
I assure you that A-Kun's immediate family will have no worries."
He paused and added, “Regarding other compensation and insurance, as well as A Kun’s unpaid wages and the refund of the five social insurances, the company will strictly follow the agreement.
A Kun's parents and wife will each receive a quarter, and the remaining half will be left to the children. We will arrange for regular payments, and the unpaid portion will be paid according to the bank's regular interest.
This way, A Kun will feel more at ease."
After saying this, Hao Qiang's heart was still filled with complicated emotions.
He knew the truth that he was being targeted by hired killers, but the matter was too complicated to tell A Kun's family.
To them, it was just an ordinary accident.
Hao Qiang did a rough calculation in his mind and found that the total amount of double compensation from A Kun's company plus the insurance compensation paid for him was close to three million yuan.
In this era, it is a huge fortune.
A Kun’s wife is still young, maybe she will remarry.
It was precisely because of this possibility that Hao Qiang decided not to give all the compensation to A Kun's wife, but instead adopted this more fair and long-term distribution plan.
After hearing what Hao Qiang said, A Kun's parents said with tears in their eyes: "Mr. Hao, thank you. It is his honor to work for you."
They also didn't expect that the world's richest man, Hao Qiang, would come to visit them in person and handle A Kun's funeral personally.
No matter what, he is a man of integrity.
In their opinion, they are very lucky to be bodyguards for such a boss.
Alas, his son has a bad life.
After comforting A Kun, Hao Qiang said some comforting words to A Kun’s parents and wife before leaving the hospital.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Pushing open the door, Hao Qiang saw Qiu Yuqing and the chef busy at the dining table, waiting for him to enjoy dinner together.
Facing his family, Hao Qiang tried hard to wipe away the heaviness in his heart, wipe away the sorrow on his face, and replace it with a relaxed and happy smile.
The family chatted happily over the delicious meal.
After dinner, Hao Qiang accompanied Han Qingying for a walk on the rooftop. The fresh air in the high-rise building made him feel relaxed, as if all the complicated affairs had disappeared at this moment.
After returning to the house, he played with the children, and laughter and joy filled the small home.
the next morning,
The sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, casting a warm glow over everything.
A new day begins anew.
Just as Hao Qiang was preparing for a new day, the phone suddenly rang.
It was John, CEO of Gaotong Company, who called.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening over there.
"Hello, Mr. Hao, I'd like to ask if you are considering selling your lithography machines?"
"I'm very sorry, we don't sell lithography machines." Hao Qiang refused without hesitation. John's question was probably just to test the waters.
At present, the outside world does not know what type of lithography machine Future Technology Group’s lithography machine is.
"Oh, that's a pity. We were planning to bid $3 million per unit. What about the chip?" John asked again.
Hao Qiang smiled secretly in his heart and said, "John, Gaotong Company doesn't need to buy our company's chips, right?"
He knew that the other party just wanted to find out some information, but he did not give John any opportunity.
After a brief greeting, Hao Qiang hung up the phone.
Now, the two sides have become competitors and there is nothing to talk about.
John looked at the hung up call, feeling slightly angry.
He has been in a very bad mood in recent days. Hao Qiang deceived him and even fooled the whole world.
They actually secretly developed lithography machines and chips, and only announced the results when they were almost out.
Originally, he planned to acquire the other party's wafer factory, but he didn't expect that Hao Qiang was just delaying time.
fraud!
Damn the Hua people!
In recent times, Gaotong's stock price has fallen by 33%, making him miserable.
Qinglong 8124 has been launched on the market. They have already obtained a sample at great expense.
The other party has indeed developed high-end chips, and the purity of the wafers is extremely high.
The price they found out for the Qinglong 8124 chip was US$2000 per chip.
As a result, both Eagle Vision and Gaotong's high-end automotive chips will have to reduce prices.
Their business partners all used Future Technology Group's automotive chips to bargain for prices: "Their chips are two or three generations ahead of yours and they only sell for $2000, and they even offer discounts for large quantities. Why are you selling them for $1000?
If the price is still this high, we would rather purchase the Qinglong 8124 chip!"
High-end cars don’t even consider using their chips, and will only purchase the best automotive chips in the world.
Therefore, Gaotong Company will lose the high-end market and its profits are expected to be cut in half next year.
In such a bad situation, the stock price will definitely continue to fall.
The situation is not much better for other semiconductor companies.
Future Technology Group, this troublemaker, has messed up the market.
FU*K!
