Tang Gang emphasized: "The price that these two domestic suppliers of Deneng Battery and Xinwang Battery are willing to offer is one-third lower than what you offer! Not only that, the performance and quality of these two battery suppliers are also not bad."
Ishikawa Taku remained calm and said: "As far as I know, due to the recent battery incident in the mobile phone market, the production lines of these two battery suppliers are at full capacity. If you want to place an order, you will have to wait at least a few months. "
"Furthermore, if you want new lithium batteries to match HX1, you must come up with new design solutions. Currently, we are the best choice if we can provide safe, stable, and powerful lithium batteries. These require technical costs. production costs, so the price increase is reasonable.”
What he said makes sense. The mobile phone battery problems in the past two years have made mobile phone companies more vigilant and pay special attention to safety.
Not to mention small brand battery suppliers, even large battery suppliers will have some problems.
The negotiation continued, but Tang Gang couldn't get any advantage, and Ishikawa Zhuo refused to pay a penny less, as if he had taken advantage of them.
Then talking about the issue of mobile phone lithium batteries, Nishimura Heiichi came up with a lithium battery usage plan.
After Yao Li read it, he immediately frowned and said, "Mr. Nishimura, the performance parameters of this lithium battery are wrong. It's different from what we want."
Nishimura Heiichi said in less than standard Chinese: "This is the most suitable lithium battery for your Hongxin mobile phone. It uses our Fujihei's latest battery technology!"
Yao Li did not give up and continued to question: "What we want is the standard lithium battery you provide for Panasonic Group's electronic products. What you are giving now is obviously a lower level."
Ishikawa Taku said: "That's not what you said. What we are giving now has better performance than the lithium batteries you are using now. As for the batteries produced by Panasonic Group you mentioned, they are specially customized by Panasonic Group. This Not available at the moment."
Tang Gang was immediately dissatisfied. He said displeasedly: "In other words, we have to spend 50% more to buy your lower-grade products? Mr. Ishikawa, if this is the case, then we will not be able to cooperate. !”
Ishikawa Zhuo squinted his eyes and was not angry. Before coming, their company had already investigated. Now that Hongxin mobile phones are facing battery problems, they are the most suitable choice, so he has nothing to fear.
Unless Hongxin continues to cooperate with the previous battery supplier, it will reduce the brand reputation.
Ishikawa Taku said calmly: "Mr. Tang, you can think about it again. The lithium battery for mobile phones we can provide will definitely have better performance than what you are using now."
"Don't think about it!" At this time, Lu Zixin couldn't listen anymore. They raise prices and don't provide the best products. Do you think they are being taken advantage of
Everyone looked at him, and Lu Zixin said simply: "Since we can't cooperate, then so be it."
Ishikawa Zhuo was suddenly a little surprised. Lu Yan had been silent just now, but now he directly rejected them when he spoke.
He asked: "Don't you want to replace the battery accessories with stronger performance?"
"Of course I do, but we have more options." Lu Zixin said.
Ishikawa Zhuo shook his head and said: "With all due respect, other battery suppliers really can't compare to us."
"That's not necessarily true." Lu Zixin snorted, "Your battery technology is not the most advanced. We at Hongxin can also make batteries ourselves."
Lu Zixin originally didn't want to go to such trouble, but he found it more difficult to find a suitable battery supplier. Moreover, Hongxin wants to launch other black technology products, and batteries are one of the keys.
Whether it is a mobile phone, computer, tablet or other electronic product, it must rely on batteries. Since it's not cost-effective to cooperate, he might as well build it himself. Besides, he already has the relevant technical information.
Hearing Lu Zixin's words, Tang Gang and Yao Li were both a little surprised. Making their own batteries? Do they have the technology
Zhuo Ishikawa even laughed and said: "Mr. Lu really knows how to joke. Now, the only things Hongxin can independently develop are software and chips, right? Battery technology is a completely different field."
"Even if Hongxin is really willing to spend money to manufacture it, the product I want to create may not be better than your current battery. If something goes wrong, it will really outweigh the gain."
"This is our Hongxin matter, of course we have a solution." Lu Zixin didn't want to talk nonsense to him.
Ishikawa Zhuo smiled and said: "In this case, let's end today's discussion here. If you still want to cooperate, we will still have this condition and it will not change."
With that said, he left with Nishimura Heiichi. After leaving Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, Nishimura Heiichi asked in Japanese: "Ishikawa-kun, does Hongxin really want to make its own batteries?"
Ishikawa Taku shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Do you want to create lithium batteries? If the batteries they create are not as high-performance as other battery suppliers, they will lose money if they create them."
"Then why did Lu Yan from Hongxin say that?" Nishimura Heiichi asked in confusion.
"Of course it's for bargaining!" Ishikawa Takumi said, "Chinese people just like to play these little tricks. They think that by doing this, we can take the initiative to lower prices. But I have seen through it a long time ago!"
"Don't worry, Hongxin will come to negotiate with us soon. By then, our Tengping batteries will still be at the same price and the same type of battery. Let's see if they want it!"
Nishimura Heiichi admired him: "Ishikawa-kun still understands Chinese people better."
Within Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, after the negotiation representative of Tengping Battery left. Tang Gang and Yao Li were also puzzled and asked Lu Zixin: "Mr. Lu, if we reject Tengping Battery, we really won't be able to find a suitable supplier in a short time. Will we continue to cooperate with the previous supplier?"
"Didn't I say it? Make it yourself." Lu Zixin said seriously.
"What? Are you really making it yourself? We don't have the technology and craftsmanship!" Tang Gang was startled. He originally thought Lu Zixin was joking, so he quickly said: "R&D now, at least it will take a few years to achieve any results. ”
"Unless we purchase mature technology or cooperate with existing battery suppliers for research and development, there is no guarantee that we can develop high-performance batteries."
Yao Li also said: "It is too difficult to make it yourself. Even if we don't cooperate with Tengping Battery, we can still find other suppliers. There are several new energy companies in China that we can also try to cooperate with. In addition, there are several suppliers in Baodao The battery performance is okay.”
Lu Zixin smiled and asked, "You know about lithium-air batteries, right? What if you could make that?"
"Lithium-air battery?" Yao Li remembered it as soon as he heard it. He immediately shook his head and said, "It's impossible. How can we make this thing?"
