"Mr. Feng, it feels so good to see representatives from so many major PC manufacturers in the world lining up to apologize to us." Liu Chuanzhi looked excited at this time.
"That's not all. Those who spoke the most vehemently lost money. Donating them in the name of Lianxiang Group will improve our reputation." Zong Qingxian also said with a smile.
"After this time, they no longer dare to act casually. But there are also disadvantages, that is, our production costs. They all know it, and they also see the profit margins of this kind of netbook." Feng Yu put down his tea cup and said .
"There's nothing we can do about it. Before, they thought they couldn't make any money, or would even lose money. Now that they see that it can not only make money, but also won't delay the sales of their other products, they will definitely make netbooks." Liu Chuanzhi consoled him.
"What are you afraid of? We were the first to make a name for ourselves. After they design it, our second batch will be released." Zong Qingxian said nonchalantly.
"That's right. This ordering plan is really good. It not only increases the traffic of our official website and makes more people pay attention to our Lianxiang brand, but it also costs nothing to produce. They pay first and we produce it later."
"But Mr. Feng, will they imitate this? If they do the same, they will definitely steal many of our consumers, right? How about we accept the second batch of orders immediately? Anyway, the first batch of users, Some have already started shipping." Liu Chuanzhi asked.
Feng Yu shook his head: "No, we let them order it. Think about it, how much time we spent researching this netbook? A lot of hardware is specially designed for this netbook. And in terms of product appearance, we have always been outstanding. They can’t imitate this.”
"If they built it so quickly, they must imitate our internal structure. I won't say whether it infringes on our design patent rights. Do you think there will be no quality problems if it is built in such a short time? They were too late for many evaluations."
Liu Chuanzhi's eyes lit up: "Yes, they can't do the test of continuous boot time. And they are in a hurry, so there will definitely be quality problems. When the time comes, we will seize this point to make a fuss, which will definitely make them miserable."
Feng Yu snapped his fingers: "Yes, what we have to do is compare. Moreover, our factory's production cost is lower, but they may not be able to achieve it. If their pricing is the same as ours, we can check whether they have violated the regulations Dumping law. If they charge a higher price than us, we still have a price advantage."
"And don't forget, even if their pricing is the same as ours, they can still guarantee profits, but the profits will definitely not be as high as ours. We placed the orders for these hardware first. If they want to get them quickly, they have to pay more money."
"So, we can continue to reduce prices over time. There are two price reduction options. The first is to lower the price of the current model, and the second is to keep the price unchanged but upgrade the performance of the netbook, such as increasing the CPU frequency. , improvements in screen clarity, improvements in battery technology, etc.”
"No matter what they do, the leader in netbooks must be us, and it must be us."
"Hahahaha, don't worry, Mr. Feng, I can guarantee this. The scale of our factory is world-class. And we have introduced many internationally advanced production management methods to ensure that we maximize our efficiency. We originally built world-class manufacturing in the west This project is really a smart move, our labor costs are really low." Liu Chuanzhi said excitedly.
Feng Yu waved his hand: "Using labor costs as the main means of competition is what labor-intensive manufacturing should do. We should be a technology-intensive enterprise. Temporarily using price to squeeze out other competitors is a way to reduce our own profits at the same time. Means cannot be used for a long time.”
"We should still ensure that we are ahead in technology. This is the right way. As for production costs, just ensure that they are not too high. Don't let people think that we, Lianxiang, are evil exploiters and capitalists."
"Mr. Feng, don't worry about this. Although our Lianxiang Group does not donate as much as you, it is still one of the top companies in the country. Although the salary we give is not high, it is definitely high locally. As time goes by, the salary It will definitely be raised, and we won’t cheat our own people.”
"The world-class electronics manufacturing factory we cooperate with the Tata Group will start construction next year. By then, the focus of manufacturing will gradually shift there. Labor costs in India are cheaper than here."
Hearing Liu Chuanzhi's words, Feng Yu nodded. Although China is a manufacturing power, it cannot only define itself as a manufacturing country, but also a scientific research power.
The added value of technology is much higher than the added value of labor. Manufacturing factories in the west will mainly supply Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe in the future, while other places will mainly supply factories in India.
The industrial park in Huaxia not only produces computers, but also produces mobile phones, MP3s and other electronic products. It is a comprehensive consumer electronics manufacturing industrial park invested by Taihua Holdings.
This is second only to Fushikang in China, but its development is much better than Fushikang.
In the previous life, Fushicon was the world's number one OEM brand and the definer of production capacity standards in the manufacturing industry.
In this life, Fushikang has not received as many orders as in the previous life. For example, Lianxiang Group and others have built their own factories. There are also some smaller but equally good OEM companies, so the development of Fushikang , and it’s nowhere near as fast as in the previous life.
Perhaps within two years, Fu Shi Kang may be surpassed by Taihua Electronics Manufacturing Company in China.
It was also under the leadership of Taihua Holdings that the development of China's consumer electronics industry slowly began to change from the low-tech value-added in its previous life.
Feng Yu wants to achieve one-stop integration of R&D, production and sales, starting from the raw materials, which are his own. Taihua Crystalline Silicon is the world’s number one crystalline silicon factory.
Feng Yu’s next goal is to recycle electronic waste. In this regard, island countries have relatively good technology and are considered to be the leaders in the world, because they have too few domestic resources.
Feng Yu has asked Kameda Masao to contact several powerful companies and plan to acquire them, so as not to let the islanders take advantage of them in the future.
In the past life, the island country took away so many good things in the name of helping Chinese friends "dispose of garbage." Then they are re-produced into semi-finished products or finished products, and then sold back to China, making a lot of money.
In this life, Feng Yu feels that it is better for the Chinese to earn this money themselves.
"Remember, we are not going to follow the old path of Galanz. We are not going to be a manufacturing factory. Price can be a weapon, but it cannot be the main weapon. There will always be only one main weapon for us, and that is technology!"
