Chapter 548 Be careful

Comrade Liu is not a fool. Lin Zheng has already said this to this point. If he doesn't know what to do, he really plans to tear off his face with Lin Zheng. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lin said so, what else can I say? Although we think... Alas, I've done this matter anyway. Don't worry, I'll send you money in the past two days."

"Mr. Liu, you are my big brother. I shouldn't say this, but I feel a little uncomfortable. Although you may not like to listen to me when I say it, but since we are friends, I still want to say it. We have no objection to you, but you can't get close to you and you cheat who you cheat. Is it interesting to cheat friends?" Lin Zheng sighed and said.

He knew that although Lenovo had a good future, it encountered a very serious supplier crisis before 2003. The reason was similar to what he encountered now. Because Lenovo's purchase volume was low, the requirements were very strict, and the payment cycle was very long, which made everyone unwilling to cooperate with them. At the beginning, Shenji, which supported Lenovo in the Zhaoyang laptop project, canceled its cooperation with Lenovo. Later, its partner Volkswagen (fic, not killing Alto) also gave up its cooperation with Lenovo. For a period of time, there was no OEM manufacturer to cooperate with Lenovo, which made some of the above people quite embarrassed. If Lenovo had not adjusted its supplier strategy in the end and the bosses above greeted these OEM manufacturers, Lenovo would not have the chance to become the world's third largest personal computer product complete supplier.

But obviously, Comrade Lao Liu didn't take Lin Zheng's kindness seriously. He responded perfunctorily, "I know my brother's kindness, don't worry. We will ensure that there will be no trouble in our cooperation in the future."

I hope, Lin Zheng sighed in his heart. Some people, even though they knew that it was inappropriate to do this, always felt that they would be the exception and would not look back without hitting the wall. As a friend, he fulfilled his responsibilities and Lao Liu refused to listen. What else could he do?

—————————————————————

The mold of this notebook launched by Lianchuang Technology is a public version, which keeps the internal design unchanged. Through the local adjustment of external details, materials and colors, dozens of different models can be quickly derived. There will be no embarrassing situations in which everyone launches except for the logo. Everyone is in the mixed-electronics industry, so they naturally understand such a simple truth.

Not everyone has such ambitions like Lao Liu. Seeing the sample machines without any logos placed by Lianchuang Technology, which are available for everyone to experience, and then compared the laptops of major domestic and foreign computer brands provided by them next to them. After experiencing them, the eyes of the bosses are red: the public version of the laptop computer produced by Lianchuang Technology is no different from these comparison samples!

Immediately, a boss who was planning to enter the personal computer field yelled at Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, how is the stability and reliability of this notebook? If there is no problem, our cooperation will be successful!"

He didn't even ask about the price!

Although the competition in the TV industry is so fierce that people are almost making their brains come out, how high is the profit of computers? As for laptops, this thing is not something that can be described as huge profits. Besides, because Lianchuang Technology is an OEM company, they cannot give too high prices.

"Stability and reliability Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about it. We conducted rigorous tests, and the rigorous test was no less than that of ibm's thinkpad series. I was also counting on making some money to get married, so I didn't dare to smash our brand." Lin Zheng said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that Lin Zheng is going to get married at the end of the year. With Lin Zheng’s net worth, there is no need to worry about whether he has the money to get married. But if he can express his attitude in this way, it will make everyone very happy: Who doesn’t want to find a reliable partner?

"Everyone is friends, but personal friendship is personal friendship. Since everyone is on behalf of their respective companies today, we will do our business. We will first public and then private today. After we finish our work, we will have a relationship at tonight's banquet... This is the data during the redesign and testing of this laptop. Everyone understands technology. I believe that everyone has an account in their hearts after reading it."

As soon as Lin Zheng's voice came to his feet, several beautiful etiquette ladies came out one after another with enthusiastic smiles. Each of them held an exquisite tray in their hands, and there was a detailed introduction to this laptop in the tray, which was delivered to several bosses one by one.

Lin Zheng's attitude made the bosses very satisfied. That's right. It's one thing for everyone to have friendship, but who has a few thousand people under him for dinner? Friendship is one thing. You can't delay business affairs because of friendship. It's necessary to first public and then private.

As a group of corporate bosses who started in the 1980s, all the bosses present started with technology. This kind of technical information may be equal to the Book of Heaven for ordinary people, but it seems that it is not a problem for the bosses. I quickly looked through the information and exchanged glances with each other, and my eyes were a little surprised: What Lin Zheng said just now is actually true? In terms of the technical data reflected in the information, the overall technical content of this laptop is indeed very good.

Of course, information is information. Information does not mean that the product is really so good. Everyone knows that information can be faked, but the same thing is true. Unless Lin Zheng wants to smash his own signature, he cannot do it too much.

"If there is really such a good information..." Mr. Li, who had just spoken, paused slightly and said: "As long as the price is right, our Ace Group will book 20,000 units first... Let's talk about the OEM issue of desktop computers later."

Mr. Li was indeed very interesting. Lin Zheng nodded vigorously, "No problem, thank you Mr. Li for giving face so much. I didn't say anything. No matter how big Mr. Li's order is, I will definitely give you the best price."

"Ha...thank you." Mr. Li grinned, very happy.

With Mr. Li’s beginning, everyone placed more or less intention orders: 20,000 or 30,000 units or 5,000 units or 6,000 units or less. In the blink of an eye, the intention of OEM for laptops has reached a total of more than 80,000 units.

This is amazing. This is an intention agreement of more than 80,000 units. Even if it is just a legally binding intention agreement, as long as this laptop from Lianchuang Technology has no major impact on its use in the tests of major electronic manufacturers, there will basically be no problems with this contract. In other words, this is a large contract of more than 1 billion yuan! Not to mention that traditional home appliance manufacturers such as Ace also intend to strengthen cooperation with Lianchuang Technology in desktop computers.

Everyone was smiling happily, but Lao Liu's face was always tense. He was also one of the heads of the two companies with the smallest contract with Lianchuang Technology among the bosses present.

"Mr. Liu doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" Tan Na whispered.

"It's a damn he can be in a good mood," said Lin Zheng quickly slanted Lao Liu, and Lin Zheng sighed softly: "Lenovo's Zhaoyang series laptops have only sold less than 30,000 units since they were launched. This has created an amazing record. But now we have not done anything. 80,000 laptops have been out. Although the profits of our OEM cannot be compared with their sales profits, the total scale is here."

The profit of making laptop OEM is actually not low. In this era when laptops are still high-value-added products, even OEM companies have more than 15% profit. Strictly speaking, the profit of OEM companies is not much less than that of brand companies.

Some people may not believe it. Do you think the profits of OEM companies are not very meager? They rely on the scale effect to earn some hard processing fees. This view is correct. If it is OEM for low-value-added products with no technical content, such as clothing, shoes and hats, the profit is indeed very low. The OEM cost for a pair of Nike basketball shoes sold hundreds or thousands of in China is only seven or eight yuan. But if it is an electronic product with high added value such as computers, OEM cost is another matter, and it is calculated using percentages.

What? Why don’t you produce it yourself? It’s extremely unprofitable to calculate from the perspective of investment and elimination efficiency ratio; OEM? There are only a few companies that can produce laptops, and the common rules are so easy to destroy? Even after 2010, when the notebook OEM industry entered the era of low profits, the profit was 4% to 5%.

"Old Liu..." Tan Na frowned: "Why does it give me the feeling that the more friends he is, the more he cheats you, you have no discussions."

"..." Lin Zheng smiled bitterly, and without saying anything, what could he say? He shook his head and said, "Just treat it... every family has a difficult sutra."

—————————————————————

Although the cooperation process with Lenovo was a little unpleasant, overall, Lin Zheng was still very satisfied with the development situation during this period. Good news came from Haibin Port, which was highly anticipated by Lin Zheng. Haibin City agreed to the conditions of Lianchuang Technology. After hearing this call, Lin Zheng waved his fist with excitement!

Although the two parties still have some details to discuss in detail, and it will take some time from the beginning to the signing of the contract, Lin Zheng understood that when the two parties have reached an agreement on the general direction, it is basically impossible for any change to happen, and no matter which aspect, they cannot afford to lose this person!
