Chapter 63: Beautiful Chinese (Ch 826675320)

“OLED screens can achieve local brightness adjustment. When taking selfies, the brightness around the screen can be increased to achieve a fill-light effect!” Chen Tong directly explained the advantages of OLED screens for African user groups.
Most of Africa has a tropical savanna climate, with only a few rainy days a year and scorching sun being commonplace.
The high brightness of the OLED screen makes the phone more convenient to use outdoors, solving the problem of LCD screens being difficult to see under strong light.
At night, many African users have darker skin, and may even face the embarrassing situation of blending into the darkness when taking pictures.
The front camera combined with the active lighting feature of the OLED screen allows you to take clear selfies in the dark, which is undoubtedly a huge selling point.
After listening to Chen Tong’s explanation, Zhu Zhaojiang’s eyes flashed with excitement, but the high price of OLED screens made him hesitate.
Chen Tong saw Zhu Zhaojiang’s concerns, smiled slightly, and threw out more attractive conditions: “Mr. Zhu, we come here with sincerity this time. If your company can purchase more than 10 million OLED screens, we can give you a very favorable price!”
This sentence instantly ignited Zhu Zhaojiang’s interest.
Huateng Microelectronics needs sales, while Transsion needs cost-effective components. The needs of both parties are so perfectly matched.
“If we purchase 50 million OLED screens at one time, what kind of quotation can your company give us?” Zhu Zhaojiang gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to ask.
Fifty million screens! ?
When Chen Tong heard this number, he was shocked and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Transsion has just established itself in Africa, and its annual shipments are estimated to be just over 10 million. Aren’t they afraid of a backlog of inventory if they purchase 50 million screens at one time?
However, since the other party has made such a request, Chen Tong will naturally not miss this opportunity.
He quickly calculated the cost and gave a reasonable price: “280 yuan per screen!”
When Zhu Zhaojiang heard the offer, a dazed look appeared on his face.
He didn’t expect that Huateng Microelectronics’ quote was less than 300 yuan.
You should know that the current price of OLED screens on the market is generally around 400 yuan, and even after Sanxin’s price reduction, the price is still 350 yuan.
Although the price of 280 yuan is only 70 yuan lower than Sanxin, as the purchase volume of products increases, the price difference will become very considerable.
“260 yuan!” Zhu Zhaojiang started to bargain without hesitation. In his opinion, every penny he could cut was a penny he could save, and all the money he saved was profit.
Chen Tong shook his head and said firmly: “275 yuan, this price can’t be lower.”
“265 yuan! If your company is willing to accept this price, we can take out 80% of the entire order amount as a deposit!” Zhu Zhaojiang once again offered tempting conditions.
After a fierce tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached a consensus: 270 yuan per screen, which was the middle price of the first quotations from both parties.
According to the agreement, Huateng Microelectronics will provide 50 million OLED screens to Transsion within the next year.
Chuansheng Company is required to pay a 70% deposit when placing an order.
The cooperation agreement was formally signed under the witness of the legal teams and professional teams of both parties.
“Mr. Chen, I hope we can become the most steadfast partners!” Zhu Zhaojiang held Chen Tong’s hand with anticipation in his tone.
“I think so too…” Chen Tong responded with a smile, but he knew in his heart that the cooperation between manufacturers is changing rapidly and the basis of everything is interests.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
You should be on guard against others, but you should not have the intention to harm others.
After Zhu Zhaojiang sent Chen Tong and Huateng Microelectronics’ negotiation team away from the company, his smiling face instantly turned cold.
“I’m sorry…”
Zhu Zhaojiang sighed lightly, and finally slowly took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
As the call was connected, Zhu Zhaojiang said to the other party in a cold tone: “It’s all done, the fish has been hooked…”
Chen Tong naturally had no idea what happened after he left. Now he needed to arrange for the company to speed up the production of orders as soon as possible.
When Chen Tong of Huateng Microelectronics was about to arrange for engineers to open the presentation and start production orders, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of Chen Tong.
[Due to recent market fluctuations! The cost of OLED screen panel production materials has doubled]
Looking at the game pop-up window in front of him, Chen Tong was stunned.
The cost of OLED screen panels has doubled, so the material cost for our company just to produce one screen is 370 yuan!
This does not include a series of investments such as manpower and R&D.
“Why, even if the price of raw materials increases, it can’t be increased to this extent?”
Chen Tong was sweating profusely on his forehead at this time, and he hurriedly called Tian Hongbo.
As the company’s supply chain manager, Tian Hongbo is naturally responsible for these matters.
“I just got the news that the price of raw materials has increased…”
Tian Hongbo was also curious about the gossip about his boss, but as a smart employee he naturally did not dare to ask too much.
After Tian Hongbo made several phone calls to inquire, he finally got the answer.
At the request of Sanxin, the world’s top screen panel manufacturer, in order to continue to maintain cooperation between the two parties, we had no choice but to accept Sanxin’s suggestions.
The only one injured was Huateng Microelectronics.
“Sanxin! Sanxin again!”
Chen Tong couldn’t help but laugh at Sanxin’s actions in the past few months.
First, we offer extremely low prices and better screens to allow all mobile phone brand manufacturers to make their choices.
It directly cut off the order cooperation relationship between Huateng Microelectronics and major manufacturers.
Now this method is used to force screen panel material suppliers to make a choice. Although the supply of raw materials has not been stopped, the price increase has blocked Huateng Microelectronics’ path to competition.
“Next, are you planning to resort to legal means? Sanxin has done everything it can to compete!” Chen Tong said with a cold look in his eyes.
But just as he finished speaking, an urgent ring suddenly rang in the office.
Chen Tong calmed himself down and answered the phone call in the office.
A mechanical electronic voice from the other end of the phone made Chen Tong’s face even gloomier.
The electronic sound was a notification, and the content of the notification was about the patent issue of Huateng Microelectronics.
Sanxin Screen Panel Co., Ltd. suspected that Huateng Microelectronics infringed 12 patents on the OLED screens it produced and demanded that Huateng Microelectronics stop the infringement and stop producing OLED screens.
The production of screen panels can only continue after the investigation is completed and it is confirmed that there is no infringement.
The electronic sound repeated twice and finally stopped abruptly.
Chen Tong’s face was now as dark as charcoal, and he was shaking with anger as he held the phone.
“Sanxin, I ***, ***”
[This is a greeting that contains more than 50% mommy content!]
[What a beautiful Chinese phrase!]
