Chapter 5: Collaboration That Could Not Be Agreed (Ch 823654837)

Li Dan quickly agreed on the cooperation matters with Chen Tong.
The cooperation period this time is one year, and Huateng Microelectronics needs to provide at least 300,000 screens every month within the first ten months.
If the chrysanthemum factory has certain needs in the future, we are allowed to increase the order by 20% within the cooperation period.
This means that although the order volume for the cooperation between the two parties is to deliver 3 million screens a year, the actual 3 million screens need to be delivered within ten months.
If the Ju factory still needs screen supply in the future, Huateng Microelectronics will still need to provide at least 600,000 screens.
On the surface, 3 million screens need to be provided, but in fact it is actually an order for 3.6 million screens.
Chen Tong had no problem with this, and a slightly higher order volume was not a bad thing.
The payment method is also based on traditional payment methods.
The Ju Factory will first pay 70% of the order transaction amount as a deposit for this order.
As for the remaining 30%, it will be settled as the final payment after the cooperation between the two parties is completed.
This is also the way supply chain manufacturers and many technology companies currently cooperate.
Chen Tong had no worries about this kind of cooperation, after all, the partner was the wealthy Ju Factory.
Of course, in the entire industry, there are still many cases of overdue final payments, and even many top technology companies have such problems.
Even some supply chain technology companies with great potential often go bankrupt because they cannot receive the final payment and eventually their capital chain breaks.
Naturally, Chen Tong doesn’t have to worry about the Ju Factory not being able to pay the balance.
After leaving the Chrysanthemum Factory, Chen Tong headed straight for Kyoto.
In addition to the cooperation with the chrysanthemum factory, Chen Tong also contacted the rice company this time.
Although he has already cooperated with the Ju Factory, Chen Tong is not willing to simply cooperate with one company.
It’s always a good idea to have one more way.
In 2015, the rice company did not move into the science and technology park, but was located in an office building.
[NPC: Zhou Pingguang]
[Level: SS-level supply chain management talent]
Chen Tong looked at the middle-aged man who came out to greet him, and examined him with a little surprise in his eyes.
This was the first time Chen Tong encountered a double S-level talent.
S-level talents are basically the best or even leaders in the industry, and the double S means they are the real industry leaders.
In Chen Tong’s memory, Zhou Pingguang in front of him was definitely an indispensable figure in the rice company.
He is not only one of the founders of Rice Company, but also the person in charge of the supply chain of the mobile phone business developed by Rice Company in the past few years.
Chen Tong looked at Zhou Pingguang, and Zhou Pingguang also looked at Chen Tong.
Looking at Chen Tong’s young appearance, Zhou Pingguang’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.
When Zhou Pingguang learned that Chen Tong was the head of Huateng Microelectronics, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
In the reception room of the rice company.
Zhou Pingguang looked at the screen panel handed over by Chen Tong, and instructed an employee nearby to bring an engineering machine without a screen installed.
After connecting to the engineering machine and operating the screen briefly, Zhou Pingguang couldn’t help but frown.
When Chen Tong saw the other person’s appearance, a look of worry appeared in his heart.
Is there something wrong with their own screen panel?
“The screens produced by your company are still a certain distance away from the standards required by our company!” Just as Chen Tong was worried, Zhou Pingguang slowly said: “Of course we are willing to give your company a chance…”
Listening to what Zhou Pingguang said, a hint of annoyance flashed across Chen Tong’s heart.
Still some distance away from the standard?
Listen, is this what a normal supply chain manager would say?
Chen Tong felt as if he was insulted.
Just yesterday, the company reached a cooperation agreement with the Ju Factory. The other party conducted laboratory tests and finally graded the screens produced by their company.
The so-called standard at present is to take an engineering machine without a screen and install the touch screen briefly to give it a try.
Comparing the two, Chen Tong felt that the so-called standard was a bit harsh.
In Chen Tong’s opinion, after the screen panel manufacturer completes the production of the screen panel and hands it over to other manufacturers, the manufacturer needs to fine-tune the color display of the panel.
For this reason, when most manufacturers purchase screen panels, their primary consideration is the color accuracy of the screen panel, that is, the color accuracy, to facilitate subsequent fine-tuning of the screen panel.
Just when Chen Tong was feeling unhappy, Zhou Pingguang directly gave him an offer that even Chen Tong could not accept.
“Although your company cannot meet our standards, we are willing to purchase your screen panels at a price of 80 yuan per piece!”
Zhou Pingguang said calmly to Chen Tong.
Chen Tong looked at Zhou Pingguang and suddenly laughed.
It turns out that when people are angry, they will really laugh.
“The price your company has proposed is indeed very sincere, but we still need to discuss it within the company before we can give you a final answer!”
Chen Tong directly and politely rejected Zhou Pingguang’s offer.
After all, eighty yuan was a price that Chen Tong could not accept.
Excluding the cost of specialized components and hardware, the remaining profit is only thirty yuan.
This also includes a series of costs such as special labor, research and development, packaging and transportation.
At the same time, the factory’s production chain also requires a certain amount of money every year for special maintenance.
If you calculate it this way, it would be difficult to even break even, let alone make money.
Zhou Pingguang understood what Chen Tong meant, but he didn’t say much. Instead, he politely sent Chen Tong out.
In Zhou Pingguang’s opinion, rice companies now have many supply chain partners and are not short of cooperation with a small company like Huateng Microelectronics.
After ending the unpleasant trip, Chen Tong returned to the company without stopping.
Just as he was getting on the plane, Chen Tong received a text message from the Ju Factory regarding a transfer.
[Obtained 252 million gold coins!]
252 million, this is the amount of the screen panel order from the Ju factory.
When the money arrives, it means that the contract between the two parties officially comes into effect.
After the contract takes effect, Huateng Microelectronics must deliver 300,000 screen panels to the Ju Factory within one month.
[Main Mission 2 (Completed)]
[Rewards: Three primary professional experience books and a random talent card!]
[Main Mission 3: Build a Level 3 building!]
With the arrival of income, Chen Tong’s second main task was officially completed.
This time the rewards are three elementary technical experience books and a card that can summon talents of random levels.
Each use of a primary technical experience book can increase 5,000 experience points for a technology.
The three awarded junior technical experience books are very important to Chen Tong.
With the support of these three basic technical experience books, plus the experience gained in the current scientific research laboratory, Chen Tong will be able to upgrade the screen panel technology from Lv1 to Lv2 soon!
