Chapter 219 Insufficient output
The quality crisis that TCL's new mobile phones continues, but unlike TCL Group and MediaTek, Sha Zihao has swept away his sorrow these days, and he always smiles when he sees people all day long. He looks like he is almost reincarnated as Amitabha Buddha.
On March 8th, this time happened to be a full month before the Orz phone was released. Although February is two days less than other months, the connection is nearly 30 days long.
During this month, Sha Zihao experienced the initial change of anxiety, panic, fear until the calm, joy and excitement of the later period. Due to the great success of TCL mobile phones during the initial sales period, the low-key Qrz mobile phones were put on the market like a small stone thrown into a pond, and did not cause much trouble. But no one expected that as time went by, everything changed after just over half a month. The sales of Qrz mobile phones gradually increased from the initial hundreds or thousands of units a day. After TCL's mobile phone quality problems broke out, its sales volume suddenly began to rise at a geometric speed.
At present, the daily shipment speed of Qrz mobile phones has reached about 15,000 units. This is because of insufficient production capacity. Zhou Liwen only adopted the sales strategy of key cities. However, such achievements have made Sha Zihao ecstatic. Every day, watching the factory continue to produce three shifts, packing and loading finished mobile phones to local markets, or the larger number of initially equipped semi-finished products are transported to Heijiang assembly factories through logistics, Sha Zihao was so happy that he was so happy.
"Selling mobile phones is like playing upgrades and I have captured a good deck of cards. I threw them out in one breath. This feels so good!"
This sentence said to Zhou Liwen clearly shows Sha Zihao's ecstasy now. His previous worries had long been thrown out of the sky. Now, he would laugh happily even in his dreams every day.
With novel styles, excellent workmanship, considerate design and safe and stable system, coupled with reliable quality and relatively low price, Zhou Liwen's mobile phones have gradually gained a large number of loyal consumers. And as time goes by, this group of numbers has become more and more. Especially the quality crisis of TCL mobile phones has erupted, compared with excellent Qrz mobile phones, it is equivalent to giving Zhou Liwen a disguised advertisement. With the establishment of a good reputation, mobile phone sales are getting better and better. Although there are two factories (including assembly plants) producing at the same time, the problem of insufficient production capacity is imminent from the market reaction.
"Brother Zhou, your place is very good!"
Brother Jun and Wei Zi were sitting in Zhou Liwen's car and opened in through the heavily guarded research institute gate. After entering the door, they suddenly became clear. Looking at the surrounding scenery and elegant layout, Brother Jun couldn't help but praise.
"It's really good. I think your place is not bad than the private clubs in the suburbs of Kyoto. Moreover, your main building is a half-century old building, which is more authentic than the newly built ones." Wei Zi's eyes also lit up. When he got off the bus, he looked at it and nodded in praise.
"Don't praise me, two brothers. It's a lucky thing to do this place. This was an old factory built by the former Soviet Union in the 1950s. It was abandoned for a long time. After I got it, I just asked someone to design and reorganize it. What's so exaggerating as you said?"
Jun Ge smiled and said, "Don't be modest. Speaking of which, there are fewer old factories like this now, especially your main building, except for its smaller size, the overall effect looks like the historical buildings on the Bund in Shanghai. It is a good thing for the country to carry out reform and opening up, but now many places have fewer and fewer historical buildings. Take Kyoto as an example. I don't know how many old town areas have been demolished a few years ago, and the most delicious courtyards are almost destroyed. If it weren't for the above two years that advocated the protection of traditional cultural buildings, I'm afraid that all the courtyards would have disappeared in Kyoto within ten years. Wei Zi, from this perspective, does this place look like the courtyards of the big capitalists before the liberation?"
"Hi! Not to mention, it looks a bit like this. Not only does it look like it, but if you make some Western sculptures nearby, fountains and pools, I think it's similar to foreign manors."
"That's the reason!" Brother Jun smiled and nodded, and suggested to Zhou Liwen as a joke: "I said Brother Zhou, can I lend this place to me if I want to film the movie in the future?"
"No problem! What's the matter? It's as long as you want!" Zhou Liwen didn't want to agree at once. Brother Jun and Wei Zi burst into laughter at the same time when they heard this.
After entering the main building and reaching the office on the top floor, the two of them felt emotion again. As they greeted them, Zhou Liwen personally made a pot of good tea, and then sat down on the sofa together.
"Give!"
As soon as Zhou Liwen finished sitting, Wei Zi took out the bank draft with a smile and handed it to him.
"This is……?"
"Payment last month."
"I said Brother Wei, you are too exaggerating, right? Just arrange the financial wire transfer directly, why bother sending it to me in person." Zhou Liwen was really amused and amazed by the other party's actions. Last month, the total sales of nearly 100,000 mobile phones were sold, and the amount was about 74 million at the price previously negotiated. Such a large amount of money, Wei Zi went directly to the bank to issue a bill of exchange, so he was not afraid of losing it halfway?
"Tsk! Where is the real thing about wire transfer? Besides, I introduced such a good deal to our brothers. It seems more sincere to bring them with you in person, right?" Wei Zi said happily.
Zhou Liwen called the Finance Department with a laugh and cry, then handed the bank bill to the Finance Department who arrived, and asked her to write a receipt to Wei Zi.
"Okay! This matter is over." Wei Zi put away the receipt, patted his pocket and smiled: "There is another good thing. Do you want to listen to Brother Zhou?"
Since it was a good thing, Zhou Liwen refused, so she immediately asked what the good thing was.
Then, Wei Zi told Zhou Liwen that the cooperation on mobile has been negotiated. Wei Zi and his company and Mobile have just signed a cooperation agreement. Based on the monthly phone fee of 120 yuan, a 2-year telephone contract will be given a free Orz mobile phone. Although Zhou Liwen does not know the specific share ratio of Wei Zi and the mobile company, a rough figure can be obtained based on the proportion of later generations. Even if the share is divided according to this base, Wei Zi and his company will have much more profits than the profits obtained by directly selling mobile phones.
Of course, the key to cooperating with companies like Mobile is to get the money from the share. If an ordinary company signs such an agreement, it is easy to delay payment or even suppress payment, but Wei Zi and the others do not have this situation at all. Don’t forget that the old man in his family is holding the power of life and death of the mobile company. If the leader of the mobile company has a little eyes, it is too late to please him. Who dares to offend them?
Zhou Liwen has no control over these messy things, and he is not interested in it. He has handed over all the cooperation between the domestic traditional market, including China Mobile and China Unicom. As long as they sell them in the market according to their own prices and strategies, other issues have nothing to do with him.
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Liwen quickly congratulated the two of them with a smile, and at the same time asked about China Unicom's cooperation.
"The talks on China Unicom are almost done. I guess the method is not much different from mobile." Wei Zi answered this sentence, then looked at Brother Jun and smiled and said to Zhou Liwen: "By the way, I talked to Brother Jian before coming here this time. He asked us to thank you for him. The assembly factory in Heijiang is operating very well, and this matter has given him a face."
"This is what it should be. In fact, if I want to say thank you, I will have to do it. If Brother Jian and the two elder brothers hadn't helped, our mobile phones wouldn't have succeeded like this, right?"
Zhou Liwen's words caused a burst of kind laughter. After laughing for a while, Wei Zizheng said seriously: "Brother Zhou, the output is a bit insufficient now. According to the current market sales, it is estimated that more than 400,000 units will be deployed per month. Moreover, the agreement on the mobile side has been signed. According to the agreement, the first batch of goods required by the mobile phone will be 100,000 units. If this sales method is successful, the number will double, so..."
Zhou Liwen understood what he meant, picked up the teapot on the table and brewed them all tea, and then explained: "I have already started to prepare this matter. The new assembly line at the Echeng factory has been installed in place. The factory's finished product output will increase to about 350,000 units next month. If the assembly factory in Heijiang is added, the total output will exceed 700,000 units. This number can basically meet the demand for the current situation. Of course, I have also considered the problem of insufficient production that may occur in the future, so I am preparing to find several OEM factories to cooperate and use OEM to completely solve the problem."
Speaking of this, Zhou Liwen looked at Wei Zi and the others, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Brother Wei, and Brother Jun, if you want to do business, why not invest in a factory to help me do OEM?"
"Where did I get this time? I don't have time to care about the film and television company, let alone make this thing." Brother Jun was happy as soon as he heard it, and shook his head first and said.
Wei Zi thought about it and shook his head: "It's okay to do OEM. This kind of business investment is very slow and it's very hard. I can't endure such hardships. It's better for you, Brother Zhou, to work harder."
"That's right, Brother Zhou, don't worry if you do things." Brother Jun made up this sentence happily, and Zhou Liwen laughed silently and stopped mentioning this matter.
In fact, Zhou Liwen himself knew that the money earned by OEM was much less than that they are now. But his main meaning was intentional. Zhou Liwen was sure that these two young masters would never answer his words before saying this. Zhou Liwen’s intention was an attitude, and sometimes attitude was more important than any friendship, not to mention that they are still in the cooperation period, so Zhou Liwen did not want to affect the happy cooperation between the two parties because of some trivial matters.
