Chapter 235 If you can't do it, I'll find Samsung
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is Xiao Qi's specialty in this life, and he can even deceive the American people. If he deceives the Japanese, he has absolutely no burden at all.
He pretended to know nothing, drank water and looked at the information he had compiled, but actually listened to the entire conversation between the two.
Natsume Ryohei and Kawai Fashiki talked very quickly and directly, because in this situation, there was no time for them to slowly think of countermeasures.
Since the beginning of this year, both laboratories have been moving towards higher-standard lithium polymer batteries. The 6MM size ones have gone through thousands of repeated research experiments and are basically technically perfect experimental products.
The two of them are not worried about whether it can be transformed from the laboratory into actual mass production, because they have encountered this kind of thing in many previous generations of battery products. As long as the laboratory comes out, Japanese production lines and workers can transform it.
This is their confidence as a powerful electronics manufacturing country.
They were worried that Xiao Qi would continue to purchase the products after they had worked so hard to make them.
Even if Xiao Qi purchased so much hardware from other places, Hitachi and Panasonic would not dare to take it lightly, because Asahi Kasei's products can be used on mobile phones. If Xiao Qi doesn't make them himself, he can sell them to others; memory and flash memory can also be used on mobile phones.
Same, this is a prescribed format, it can be used on mobile phones and laptops, and the same is true for cameras.
Only this lithium polymer battery is made according to Xiao Qi's specifications, so it is specially built for Xiao Qi's e-readers. Once Xiao Qi's company goes bankrupt, there is no way to hold him accountable, and there is no way.
The cheaper way is to dispose of them to others. Batteries worth hundreds of millions of dollars will have to be scrapped.
It is true that Xiao Qi has the full guarantee of Citibank. Everyone in Japan also knows that Xiao Qi has huge assets of 18 billion yuan in China.
However, in the electronics industry, more than 10 billion is either too much or too little. It is very possible to lose all this money in one or two years after a decision-making mistake.
This is why they have been hesitant and do not want to make customized lithium polymer batteries, but want Xiao Qi to directly purchase their finished lithium polymer batteries.
But now that Xiao Qi has spoken to such an extent, if the two of them don't fight, how will they be able to hold their heads high and behave in the future?
They don't do what they can, and they are still afraid of things. How is this Japanese style?
It’s embarrassing to tell anyone!
What the Japanese like to earn the most is Chinese money. Their requirements are not so high and they are easily manipulated.
Although Xiao Qi is different from ordinary Chinese people now, the two believe that with the deepening of cooperation, they will definitely be able to join Xiao Qi's industrial chain. Even if things go wrong, they will borrow Xiao Qi's money to sell their own lithium polymer batteries.
Once the technology is well honed, it will lay a solid foundation for other products in the future.
The two discussed it for a long time before finally settling on a protocol.
"Mr. Xiao, from the laboratory to mass production, we have spent a lot of time and money, and there are also many difficulties. Do you think this will work..." Hetong Feldspar's attitude was much lower than before.
: "You don't have to worry about the R&D funds. You only use them in the first two years of the contract and pay in advance every quarter. This is considered as taking care of us."
Paying in advance represents their distrust of Xiao Qi.
It is common to buy bulk goods and delay payment for a month after receiving the goods.
When Japanese companies do business with Chinese companies, they often open three-month forward drafts, and they are in U.S. dollars. In the past, it was not a problem for the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar to be stable. But since last year, the RMB has continued to appreciate, and this situation has become more serious.
There have been huge changes.
As a result, when the Huaguo company received the payment three months later, it was discovered to the point of tears that the appreciation of the RMB in the past three months had directly reduced its profits by more than half before it was received.
When I went to negotiate with the Japanese, the Japanese still said plausibly, "What I paid has not been reduced at all. It's not that I treated you badly."
The company in China was so angry that there was smoke coming out of every hole, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
Because in the process of doing business, Japanese companies are in a strong position, so Chinese companies have to grit their teeth to accept such orders and business.
Of course, European and American companies do the same thing, so there is rarely any concept of equality in doing business. Whoever is stronger will have the upper hand and let the other party follow their own ideas.
When it comes to doing business, Xiao Qi never likes to default on arrears, let alone be careful in these aspects.
The young man always believes that doing business is the same as being a human being. If you don’t have that kind of big-mindedness and courage, it will only be a small effort at best and there is no way to achieve a big career.
However, he can't let the Japanese manipulate him like this, otherwise it will happen again in the future?
"You guys go back and make a budget first." Xiao Qi said thoughtfully, "If the price is right, your opinions are not impossible to consider. If it is too expensive and you have such harsh conditions, I think Samsung should
I am very interested in taking this order. In recent years, Samsung has developed much faster than your Japanese company."
Xiao Qi directly slapped them in the face with Samsung, and their expressions were ugly.
Samsung, which has the full support of the Korean government and people, has been developing rapidly since the new century, first focusing on LCD TVs, and now it has expanded to the electronics industry, such as mobile phones, personal computers, etc., and it is indeed better than it has already entered.
Japan's major corporations, which are bottlenecked, are much more vibrant.
What's more, Samsung has always taken it as its mission to defeat Japanese companies, and they are willing to do anything that can steal Japanese business.
If Xiao Qi transferred his business to Samsung, they would definitely be eager to receive orders.
Samsung attaches great importance to the electronics industry, and is naturally very attentive to the battery business that drives the development of the electronics industry. There are at least thousands of senior technicians studying various batteries in Samsung's laboratories in South Korea, such as lithium polymer batteries.
Batteries with high technical threshold are no longer a problem for them, but such thin and light lithium polymer batteries have not yet been successfully developed.
But no one doubts that the Koreans will be able to make a breakthrough in it after waiting for three to five months at most - Samsung, with the help of scientific researchers from one country, has a reserve of technical talents that will definitely exceed that of any company in Japan!
However, the meaning behind Xiao Qi's words is that he has accepted their advance payment terms, so the risks can be completely avoided and making money is certain. It is just a matter of making more or less.
