238. Seeking cooperation(2/2)
Magnesium Group is directly acquired. There are two options, each with advantages and disadvantages.
Chen Dongcheng is well aware of the pitfalls of shared bicycles.
It was all a plan to concentrate on hype and then sell Qingju Bicycle.
The two technical experts had a discussion and basically solved all the problems of Qingju Bicycle.
Shen Chao planned to stay in Pengcheng for a few more days to completely perfect the model before leaving.
Without saying a word, Chen Dongcheng directly arranged the presidential suit at Langham, which gave Shen Chao enough face.
Only then did Shen Chao notice Chen Dongcheng. Chen Dongcheng had never introduced his identity before. Shen Chao thought he was just a senior executive of Qingju Technology.
In the evening at Tang Pavilion, Shen Chao drank several glasses of wine.
His bold side was revealed, and he and Ding Baoshan became brothers.
Shen Chao suddenly talked about the OEM: "When are you going to find a manufacturer to produce? I guess it will be difficult for any manufacturer to be willing to take your order. No manufacturer dares to agree to the four-year warranty requirement."
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "The four-year warranty is just a gimmick. Telling it can widen the gap between us and our competitors."
After all, ofo’s little yellow car only charges a 99 deposit.
If you don't talk a little higher, how can you have the nerve to accept a deposit of 299?
To put it simply, Chen Dongcheng is just using Shen Chao's design to make publicity.
It really follows Shen Chao's design, with arm front fork, no rear fork design, all-aluminum body...
Chen Dongcheng is crazy, that's why he plays like that.
Businessmen are always seeking profits, and no one is like Shabi.
According to Chen Dongcheng's plan, the cost price of a Qingju bicycle will be controlled at 500.
The cost price of mainstream shared bicycles is just over 200.
Qingju Bicycle is more expensive than them, mainly because of the smart lock.
It is precisely this smart lock that is the key to Qingju bicycles being able to sell at high prices in the future.
And the cost is high, but one advantage is that you can diss other competitors like crazy.
No matter how they defend themselves, they cannot deny that Qingju Bicycle’s cost is higher than theirs.
And the shared bicycle market is also quite interesting.
As long as you choose a car paint, buying 10,000 shared bicycles for three million and putting them on the market can be regarded as joining the war.
But if you want to develop further, it is simply unrealistic without misappropriating the deposit.
Why do so many shared bike companies fail?
Not only that, the misappropriated deposits could not be recovered, and they had to go bankrupt one by one.
There are countless owners of bike-sharing companies who have been included in the list of dishonest people and have become renegades.
It used to be so prosperous, but now it's so miserable.
With Yang Zhongjie, a technical master, by his side, Shen Chao almost forgot that he was still the boss of an automobile design company.
It was the partner who called Shen Chao and called him back.
Although Shen Chao is gone, the prototype of Qingju Bicycle has been designed.
The next most critical thing is to find a foundry. Building your own factory is not impossible, but it is too slow.
The Internet industry plays with economies of scale.
Ofo chooses low-priced bicycles just to seize the market as quickly as possible.
Chen Dongcheng took Zhao Yin and Ding Baoshan to the Magic City.
Through Zhu Tao, we contacted Song Jie, the chairman of Magic City Phoenix.
The hotel chosen was Yongfuhui. Song Jie was in his early fifties and had been operating in the magic city of Phoenix for many years.
If it weren't for Zhu Tao, the branch manager of the Shanghai Industrial Bank Branch, he would not have bothered to meet Chen Dongcheng and the others.
To be precise, Magic City Phoenix was its previous name, but now it is called Jinshan Real Estate.
Just because the real estate market is booming, Magic City Phoenix changed its name and planned to engage in real estate development.
However, it never made any money and its development was tepid.
Recently, Song Jie is also considering whether to change the company's name back to Magic City Phoenix and resume its main business of bicycle production.
Zhao Yin smiled and said: "Mr. Song, we are very sincere and want to develop in-depth cooperation with your company."
"What kind of cooperation law?"
"We, Qingju Technology, plan to purchase five million bicycles from your company."
"Five million vehicles is indeed not too much...wait, how many?"
Song Jie was very calm at first, but when he came to his senses, he asked in shock regardless of his posture.
Zhao Yin smiled calmly and said in an unhurried tone: "Five million vehicles."
Song Jie took a breath: "Are you sure?"
"The contract is written in black and white, how dare we lie to Mr. Song?"
There is a reason why Song Jie's expression changed drastically.
You must know that the current bicycle output in Phoenix, the magic city, is less than 5 million units a year.
It is equivalent to Qingju Technology giving him an additional year of orders and giving him a big cake on the pole.
Song Jie's first reaction was not joy, but vigilance: "There are so many bicycle processing factories, why did you choose us?"
Zhao Yin thought to himself that he was really an old fox, able to stay calm at this time.
“Modu Phoenix is a well-established bicycle manufacturer in China, and your strength is obvious to all in the industry.
It just so happens that the product we designed encountered some technical difficulties and we need your company's help to complete it."
Song Jie was relieved a little and said with a smile: "Haha, you have found the right person at this point.
When it comes to bicycle research and development, when has our Magic City Phoenix ever lost?"
“Under the leadership of Mr. Song, Magic City Phoenix has been making great progress.
We also immediately thought of Phoenix, the Magic City, and Mr. Song."
Song Jie glanced at Zhu Tao. With Zhu Tao here, he could feel more at ease.
Besides, if someone really dares to lie to them, they really don’t know how they will die.
"Tell me, what type of bicycle do you plan to get? It can't be the ordinary one on the market, right?"
Ding Baoshan quickly handed over the design drawings to Song Jie. Song Jie had been operating in the magic city of Phoenix for many years and could tell the difference between Qingju Bicycles and mainstream bicycles at a glance.
"Solid tires, smart locks, solar templates, GPS positioning... Good guys, you guys are really willing to give it up!"
Song Jie was a little surprised. Recently, he heard that a company called ofo had created some kind of shared bicycle, which caused a lot of commotion.
Many people are betting that ofo will be stolen and bankrupt soon.
Right now, this company should probably be producing similar products.
The main difference lies in the fact that Qingju Technology uses smart locks, which can play a positioning and tracking role.
Song Jie was too lazy to care whether Qingju Bicycle would suffer losses.
He estimated the cost in his mind and made a tentative offer: "If I follow your requirements, my cost price can be 650 for you."
Zhao Yin was not in a hurry to bargain, and pointed to Shen Chao's design drawing in the following article: "If you want to produce this kind of product, can Phoenix City be able to do it?"
Chapter completed!
