God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 234 The prototype of the supply chain

Just when Chen Weidong and the others were discussing the next action plan.

On the other side of the island country, Kazuo Hirai suddenly called.

He told Chen Weidong that Sony is about to sign a cooperation plan with Intel to provide them with high-quality LCD panels, and it will be officially implemented in three months at the earliest.

At the company meeting, he also tried to put forward different opinions, but the board of directors did not adopt them.

Because this resolution was personally issued by Sony's new CEO, Norio Ohga, and he, a regional manager, has no right to refute it.

Although Kazuo Hirai reassured Chen Weidong on the phone that it would never affect their supply of LCD panels.

But this still made Chen Weidong a little annoyed.

If Intel and its contractors also use Sony's high-definition LCD panels, the advantages of Infinity's Dimensity computers will be further reduced.

It seems that in the end, we still have to take the road of independent research and development, otherwise we may be stuck at any time.

He considered it over and over again and made an amazing decision.

When Director Zhang received a call from Chen Weidong and asked him to tell the domestic manufacturers to outsource all the components needed for Dimensity Computer, his first sentence was: "What difficulties do you have, do you need help?"

In Director Zhang's view, Infinity Corporation has made too much contribution to the country, but received almost nothing in return!
They provide a large number of precision instruments and technical support for domestic scientific research institutions. They help the domestic electronics industry to recover and expand the international market. The machine tools they produce allow local enterprises to complete the work easily without spending much money. Industrial upgrading
They pay so much, but alone bear the pressure of the United States, high retaliatory tariffs, driving Infinity Company from the market!
Now, Chen Weidong suddenly proposed that all the components should be subcontracted to domestic manufacturers. Director Zhang immediately subconsciously thought that Infinity Company could not bear it.

Although Chen Weidong repeatedly explained that this was because Infinity Company planned to concentrate its efforts on improving the level of chip and liquid crystal technology to widen the gap with the West, but Director Zhang was dubious about his words, and came to the company in a hurry to talk to the company. Chen Weidong talked for a long time before leaving.

Not long after, Huanan City secretly reported a message to some enterprises: "Infinity Company will disassemble all the production parts of Dimensity computers and distribute them to various domestic manufacturers. Anyone who is confident and has reached a certain standard , can come to participate in the bidding.”

As soon as this news was revealed, it caused a huge sensation among domestic manufacturers.

Who doesn't want to eat a piece of the fat of the computer?
In the past, everyone saw that the sales volume of Infinity's computers was so high that every manufacturer who helped OEM made a lot of money.

But Dimensity computer is an exclusive product of Infinity, and the standards of many components are not the same as those of computer accessories on the market, so everyone can only look at it with greedy eyes.

On the other hand, there are no domestic manufacturers that can produce the processor chips and liquid crystal display devices inside, so they cannot enter this industry.

Therefore, everyone usually just thinks about it, and no one dares to say that all accessories can be produced.

But now, Infinity Corporation has openly hung up this piece of fat for everyone to share.

And from the mouths of the technicians, they learned that the most difficult processors and liquid crystal controllers are all produced by Infinity itself, and the subcontracted components are all components that are fully capable of being produced in China!

Soon, all the manufacturers who received the notice were extremely excited, and began to organize manpower for research and development, and a small amount of trial production.

After the one-month bidding ended, Infinity Company conducted strict tests on every component sample submitted by the manufacturers.

If the craftsmanship is slightly insufficient, they will also send technicians to guide them to adjust the production line.

But then, when Chen Weidong opened their bidding documents, he was slightly taken aback.

In addition to the normal quotations of some manufacturers, the insured prices of many manufacturers are estimated to be slightly higher than the cost. Among them, there are even some companies whose quotations are lower than the cost!
Facing Infinity's inquiries, the representatives of the manufacturers all laughed and said, "Director Zhang has told us about your situation. In fact, no one will encounter difficulties. As long as we help each other, we will get over it!"

"Before, your company took the lead and opened up foreign markets. Our profits were much higher than domestic work orders, so now it's okay to earn less!"

The rest of the manufacturers gave similar answers.

They are the first batch of manufacturers to cooperate with Infinity, and most of them are local enterprises in South China City. They have helped Infinity to manufacture graphics cards, sound cards and other accessories before.

In a very short period of time, huge profits were made.

In their view, Infinity Corporation is really too generous. It gnaws the hardest bones, but leaves the meat for us to eat. Which company can compare with such a high morale?

Many of Infinity's expenses are visible, and they even worry that if this continues, will Infinity's losses be greater?

In addition, they also got a hint from Director Zhang, asking them to support Infinity Company at an appropriate time.

With this mentality, when their products were trial-produced, after the accounting was completed, they quoted a very low price when bidding for quotations.

Chen Weidong received a call from the department below and heard the whole story clearly. While being moved, he was also a little dumbfounded.

In the end, he asked the people below to make a ranking according to these bidding companies and those manufacturers with the highest support, and they will be the strategic partners of Infinity Company in the future.

As long as their products are qualified, their products will be used first.

In addition, the price is also paid according to the normal OEM price.

He put down the phone, leaned on the office chair, looked at the night view of the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and fell silent.

Adversity sees people's hearts.

It was a very unexpected gain to find some reliable friends among domestic manufacturers through a bidding process.

However, during this period of time, I don’t know who has released rumors in the market, saying that Infinity’s chip production capacity is insufficient, and the processors that come out of rush work are all shoddy, and international software vendors may not be compatible with Dimensity chips. Wait for ambiguous news.

This makes some users feel a little worried when they want to buy a Dimensity computer, fearing that there will be some problems with the computer.

Chen Weidong soon learned of this matter.

In his opinion, whoever benefits these messy rumors the most is probably the one who released them.

But since Intel and those international hardware manufacturers all support Lenovo, there is no need for Infinity to be polite.
