The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 388 You Are Out

That night.

After receiving the special envoys from the other side of the ocean, the "Oriental Motor" headquarters in Tokyo immediately held an urgent internal high-level meeting.

"Everyone has seen the long-term contract sent by the Phoenix Group. They purchase a large quantity and the price is relatively reasonable. Once we reach an agreement, it will obviously be of great benefit to our development of 'robot motors'."

"However, they asked us to give priority to fulfilling their motor orders every month, and specifically indicated that we must sign a compensation clause of up to one billion RMB."

"Under normal circumstances, it's okay to sign such a compensation clause. After all, our production capacity is sufficient, and even if we encounter problems, we can temporarily modify other production lines to guarantee their orders."

"However, this afternoon, Mr. Smith flew to our headquarters in person, and he hoped that we could cause some troubles for Phoenix Group in order to delay the mass production of Phoenix robots."

Speaking of this, seeing the confusion on the faces of the senior executives, the president of "Oriental Motor" Sakata Kirino paused for a moment and explained:

"Mr. Smith is sent by Zesla Corporation!"

As soon as these words came out, all the executives present understood.

Some time ago, Phoenix Group's "Kaitian" robot made a big splash at the "Global Robotics" conference, and the limelight completely crushed Zesla's "Optimus Prime".

Unexpectedly, Zesla's counterattack came so soon.

After a short pause, an executive immediately stood up and said:

"Mr. President, it was hard for us to get the order from Phoenix Group. We have no reason to cause trouble for Phoenix Group."

"Even if Zesla promises more benefits, we can't offend the Phoenix Group; you know that once we can enter the supply chain of the Phoenix Group, it will be of great benefit to our future development..."

"Also, I don't think we should be involved in the competition between Zethra and the Phoenix Group, it won't do us any good!"

"You're right, Sugimoto-kun."

President Sakata Kirino nodded heavily and looked at Sugimoto-kun.

"but……"

"Although Mr. Smith said he came here on behalf of the Zesla Corporation, he is actually a person with a military background in the United States!"

"He has made it clear that he has a showdown with me. Zesla has teamed up with Boeing and Hongguo, and he has also obtained the tacit approval of the AUS military for coming in person!"

Ah US military!

Hearing the AUS military, everyone present became nervous.

If it was just the commercial company Zesla and their characters, they might still have to think about how to refuse or try to delay it.

But if it's the U.S. military...

There was no trace of resistance in their hearts.

You know, the Ami military is their absolute father, and they can handle them easily!

Just now, Sugimoto-kun, who strongly advocated rejecting Zesla, froze on the spot, unable to speak for a while.

Seeing this, the president Sakata Kirino sighed slightly and said:
"But fortunately, after negotiating with Mr. Smith, things have turned around."

"We don't need to directly refuse to cooperate with Phoenix Group, we just need to reduce their monthly motor supply."

"Phoenix Group proposes to purchase 20 robot motors per month. We need to reduce the supply to a maximum of [-] per month, and the price will increase by [-]%!"

"In addition, the liquidated damages clause in the contract must also find a way to cancel it."

After Sakata Kirino finished talking about the conditions, all the executives present were lost in thought.

After a while, a young executive sitting in front raised his hand and said:
"This plan is feasible to a certain extent. It can not only not offend Zesla, but also maintain a cooperative relationship with the Phoenix Group."

"You know, even if we produce 70 "robot motors" per month, it actually reaches [-]% of our current production capacity; if we communicate well, I think the Phoenix Group is likely to agree."

"It's just a liquidated damages clause. I don't think it's possible for the Phoenix Group to cancel it. They will add this clause to all the spare parts they purchase from outside. The purpose is to worry about being cut off suddenly!"

As the voice fell, there was a burst of discussion in the conference room, which was the only way to go in the current situation.

We can only have a good talk with Phoenix Group first to see if there is any turning point.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, only Mr. Sugimoto, who had spoken earlier, still had a bit of worry on his face.

"Mr. President, even if the Phoenix Group agrees to our purchase plan of [-] motors per month, their insufficient order gap will definitely purchase other brands of motors."

"As far as I know, Yaskawa Co., Ltd. has recently developed a 'servo robot motor' with similar performance to ours, and they are capable of supplying it!"

"It's impossible for Yaskawa Co., Ltd.! They have a very bad relationship with the Phoenix Group. When the Phoenix Group launched an electric motorcycle a few years ago, they restricted the motor. It is impossible to take the initiative to lend a helping hand at this time. It is possible to purchase motors from Yaskawa Corporation!"

"Also, after Mr. Smith leaves us, he will meet with other motor companies one after another tomorrow. Even if he has the ability, who would dare to sell it to the Phoenix Group without permission?!"

"Okay, that's it, give the Phoenix Group a formal reply tomorrow morning!"

……

Sakata Kirino is right.

Smith arrived early the next morning - Yaskawa Electric Co., Ltd.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yaskawa Co., Ltd. is the most powerful motor manufacturer in the world.

The motors it produces are durable, with precision and responsiveness far exceeding similar levels. They are used in industrial robotic arms, new energy vehicles, and electric motorcycles, as well as general products, transmissions, and motion control.

A few years ago, because Phoenix Group threatened to ban the sales of the most advanced S-1 series high-power motors, Phoenix Group directly developed "Blue Sky Motor", which completely broke the absolute monopoly of Yaskawa Corporation in the field of high-end motors.

but.

Even though the Phoenix Group has developed the "Blue Sky Motor", the focus of the Phoenix Group is not on the motor industry.

Yaskawa Co., Ltd. did not recover after a setback. Instead, it was stimulated by Phoenix to increase R&D investment. In recent years, they have continued to make efforts in the mid-end and high-end markets of various types of motors, and their technical advantages are more obvious than in previous years.

and so.

Although Yaskawa Co., Ltd. has not reached any contract with Phoenix Group, Smith is still the first to come to Yaskawa, just to say hello to Yaskawa in advance.

Koji Ohara, president of Yaskawa Co., Ltd., warmly received Smith, but Koji Ohara seemed a little surprised when he learned of Smith's purpose.

As the first group of international companies to fight against the Phoenix Group, Koji Ohara recognized the strength of the Phoenix Group more clearly than most business owners!

When Phoenix Group only had bicycle business and electric motorcycle business, they were able to develop the most powerful S-1 high-power motor that surpassed Yaskawa Electric at that time!
This kind of scientific research ability can be called terrifying!
It's just that the Phoenix Group later shifted its focus to the new energy vehicle market with a larger market, and did not continue to expand in the field of motors. Otherwise, it will definitely have an unimaginable impact on Yaskawa Electric!
In the past two years, through a deeper understanding of the Phoenix Group, Koji Ohara's attitude towards the Phoenix Group has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, he regarded Phoenix as a confidant's serious trouble, but as the Phoenix Group stubbornly resisted Ami's pressure, and even made Ami embarrassed, his mentality has changed from contempt to shock, even admiration!

and so.

When Smith revealed that he was entrusted by Boeing and Zesla to come to hope for the cooperation of Yaskawa Electric, Koji Ohara agreed directly on the surface, but he was a little excited in his heart.

He waited for a long time, and the opportunity to find a way to repair the relationship with the Phoenix Group finally came!
After Smith left satisfied, Koji Ohara locked the office, took out the Phoenix "Super 2" mobile phone with the highest business privacy version, quickly edited a text message and sent it out via satellite signal.

……

On the other hand, just after 9 o'clock in the morning, the "Oriental Motor" company provided the Phoenix Group with the plan discussed by the senior management last night.

In just one hour, Dongfang Motor received a reply from Phoenix Group.

All high-level officials thought that the two sides would start intense negotiations on this, but it was beyond everyone's surprise.

The reply is only five words.

"You're out."

President Sakata Kirino looked at the reply letter in disbelief, and couldn't believe that Phoenix Group canceled the order without saying a word.

but.

If they don't purchase their robot motors, whose motors will the Phoenix Group use? !
Don't want to mass-produce their robots?

He looked at Sugimoto beside him in pain.

"Sugimoto-kun, they canceled the order directly, so whose motor did they use?!"

Sugimoto-kun also had a bitter face.

"Mr. President, I don't know."

"However, is it possible that they are planning to support Yanguo's motor company, or that they develop a robot motor themselves?"

"You know, the world's top high-power 'Blue Sky Motor' is from their research institute..."

"No!"

Sakata Kirino shook his head.

"If they want to develop their own motors, they have already started independent research and development for such a long time, and they would not even think about signing a long-term contract with us!"

"It's even more impossible to support the electrical machinery companies in Yan Country. Now they have only half a year left to mass-produce the 'Kaitian' robot, and the time is too late!"

"There is only one possibility..."

Having said that, Sakata Kirino seemed to have suddenly reacted, and his expression froze instantly!

"Could it be that they have found another alternative company!"

"But... that's impossible!"

"Now the world's best robot motors are us and Yaskawa..."

Before he finished speaking, the office assistant next door suddenly pushed open the office door, and said in a trembling voice:
"President, according to the letter you just received, Phoenix Group has officially terminated all procurement contracts!"

"Not only the 'robot servo motor', but also all other common motors they purchased from us have terminated their purchase contracts!"

"In addition, many Yanguo enterprises, such as 'Hammer Auto Parts Company', 'Loncin Motorcycle Group', 'Shancheng Machinery Manufacturing Factory' and other long-term cooperation with us, have proposed to terminate the procurement contract."

what!
Sakata Kirino and Sugimoto looked at each other, horrified in their hearts!

A moment later, Sakata Kirino slumped on a chair.

"Sugimoto-kun, this time, we are really out."

……

On the other side, the Phoenix Group.

Hu Lai's office was full of familiar faces, including Director Zhang, Professor Wu, Feng Rong, Zhang Feiyang and others.

It can only be something very important that can make Hu Lai summon all the high-level confidants.

no doubt.

Zesla, Boeing, and Hongguo teamed up, and even involved the Ameri-military military to target the Phoenix Group. This matter was enough to attract Hu Lai's attention.

However, Hu Lai did not first discuss Zesla's joint attack on the Phoenix Group, but first mentioned Yaskawa Corporation.

"Everyone has seen the text message, let's talk about it, why did the Yaskawa Club leak the news about Zesla's alliance against us this time?"

Everyone present knew that the Phoenix Group and Yaskawa had some grievances before.

Therefore, in the past few years of development, Phoenix has completely rejected any cooperation with Yaskawa Electric.

"Is there a possibility that they are showing favor to us?"

Zhang Feiyang was the first to express his opinion.

As soon as the words fell, Professor Wu nodded and said:
"It's entirely possible!"

"Now the global economy is in a period of recession, but they are now being ruthlessly harvested by Aramco's scythe. The neon country's currency has plummeted and devalued to a 32-year low!"

"The world's top motor companies like Yaskawa are more sensitive to the economy, and our country is their most important overseas market. It is not surprising to take this opportunity to show us goodwill."

"However, I have to say that the chairman of Yaskawa Co., Ltd. dared to disclose such important news to us this time, and it really meant a bit of a bet."

Hu Lai smiled slightly.

"Professor Wu, do you think Yaskawa is optimistic about our victory?"

Professor Wu nodded affirmatively and said:

"Although they dare not disobey Ami directly, Yaskawa's actions obviously think that we will at least not fall behind."

"The technological strength we have demonstrated in various industries over the years has given them enough confidence."

Hu Lai hummed, feeling very emotional.

To be honest, he really did not expect that Yaskawa, as a neon country enterprise, would provide him with such important news in private.

In this world, after all, strength speaks for itself!

"Well, now that we have terminated all procurement cooperation for 'Oriental Motors', those orders that originally belonged to 'Ordinary Motors' should be handed over to Yaskawa Electric."

"Their status in the industry is unquestionable, and the quality of their products can fully meet our requirements. This is also our response to their performance this time."

"What do you think?"

Everyone nodded one after another, which had no effect on the Phoenix Group.

It is nothing more than transferring the order originally belonging to "Oriental Motor" to Yaskawa Corporation.

But Lao Zhang still expressed his concerns.

"Boss, we can purchase Yaskawa's motors for ordinary motor orders, but this time Zesla is mainly limited to our 'robot servo motors', where do we purchase them from?"
