The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

While the two were chatting, Zhou Yingling came over.

"Sister Ling." The two of them greeted at the same time.

"Nana, Sister Qiu called me just now. The group is holding a press conference in the United States on the 28th. We are going to the United States on the 26th, and you are going to sing the theme song live." Zhou Lingling said.

"What about filming?" Gulina asked in surprise.

"The filming will be postponed for a few days. The press conference in the United States is more important." Zhou Yingling said.

"I understand." Gulina nodded.

"Sister Ling, how many days are we going to stop filming?" Deng Jinyu asked curiously.

"Let's stop filming for four days." Zhou Yingling said.

"Then can I go to the United States with you? Anyway, I have nothing to do during the filming shutdown." Deng Jinyu asked.

"Okay, you can come with us." Gulina said.

London, Great Britain.

The morning in London seemed very bleak, and the cold weather was just like Han Chen's mood at this time.

He walked out of the hotel and looked for a Chinese restaurant. After walking along the street for a while, he finally found a Chinese restaurant that looked quite authentic.

A green plaque hangs on a white pillar at the entrance of the restaurant, with the four characters "Hong Kong Island Tea Restaurant" written on it. The door curtain was hung halfway, making a rustling sound when the breeze blew.

Han Chen stepped into the restaurant, and there was a burst of tea aroma. The whole restaurant seemed very crowded, with people coming and going.

Most of the diners are of South or East Asian origin, with men and women sitting at tables of four or five, or sitting alone in their own corners.

There are some paintings about Chinese landscapes hanging on the walls of the restaurant. One of the paintings is a landscape painting, depicting a landscape with clear water flowing on the undulating land.

The horse in the painting is walking happily, and the birds are flying in the distance. The painting is full of life and vitality, contrasting with the almost still atmosphere of the restaurant at the moment.

What's more, after all, the urban scenery of London is completely different from the landscape of China.

The waiter's accent was also different from that of China, but the Cantonese and Mandarin spoken in the restaurant made Han Chen happy.

He ordered a side of noodles and a cup of hot tea, put down his chopsticks, and felt the heat of the tea penetrate deep into his throat, warming his whole body.

"Excuse me, what do you want to eat?" A waiter walked up to Han Chen and asked in a nonchalant manner.

The figure of the waiter made him feel like a waiter in a tea restaurant in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The waiters in tea restaurants in Shenzhen and Hong Kong were exactly the same as him.

"Bring me a bowl of bamboo noodles." Han Chen said after looking at the menu.

"A bowl of bamboo noodles on the 38th," the waiter called in Cantonese while writing the order.

The waiter then placed the written order on the table.

"Thank you for your business, 11 pounds." The waiter looked at Han Chen with a smile and said.

Han Chen took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the other party, and the waiter also took out change from his pocket to make change.

After the waiter left, Han Chen took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Butzweig Brooks.

"Han, has the matter been resolved?" Butzweig Brooks asked after answering the phone.

"Mr. Butzweig, I have already negotiated with YouTube and Naifei two days ago. We will hold a press conference in the United States on the 28th of this month. It will be released together with the smart TV box. Will Walmart join us? Will there be a linkage with the press conference?" Han Chen asked.

"This is the responsibility of the Propaganda Department. I will report the matter to the headquarters later and contact you as soon as three hours later." Butzweig Brooks said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Han Chen said.

After eating and drinking, Han Chen took a taxi and came to WoFunda headquarters.

Han Chen received Andara Wenger at the front desk and led him to the office of Procurement General Manager Malek Roguli.

Malek Roguli's desk is covered with important documents, and data scrolls on his computer screen.

He frowned and looked at Han Chen and Andara Wenger with a little anger, as if their arrival had disturbed his work, but after seeing Han Chen, he immediately changed his face and smiled.

Because he remembered that the person in charge of Huaxia Company made an appointment with him to meet in the office this morning.

"Boss, this is Mr. Han Chen from China Deep Blue Group." Andara Wenger introduced.

"Han, I'm glad you can come to Paris." Malek Roguli immediately stood up and walked to Han Chen, stretched out his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Malek, I'm glad you can take the time to see me." Han Chen smiled.

"Han, let's talk over here. Do you want something to drink?" Malek Roguli said as he waved his hand towards the sofa.

"Just give me a glass of boiled water." Han Chen said.

Then the two of them came to sit down on the guest sofa. Andara poured Han Chen a glass of water and left.

"Han, I heard from the secretary that you have a product that we want to cooperate with at WoFunda. I wonder what your product looks like?" Malek Roguli asked with his hands crossed on his lap.

Han Chen took out an unopened box from his shoulder bag and placed it on the table.

Then Han Chen opened the package and took out the mobile phone inside and handed it to the other party.

"This is a smartphone independently developed by us. This phone uses a 5.5-inch IPS screen, a front 200-megapixel camera, a rear 500-megapixel camera, and the CPU uses our independently developed Deep Blue One." Han Chen started to introduce. Pick up the dark blue phone.

As the general manager of the purchasing department, he has a rich background in mobile phones, and he understood every word in Han Chen's introduction.

He couldn't believe that China could develop a mobile phone with such powerful performance.

"Han, how much did you sell this phone to us for?" Malek Roguli asked after taking a deep breath.

"We offer 485 U.S. dollars for arrival at WoFunda. This price includes tariffs." Han Chen replied.

"Do you have contracts with other operators besides us?" Malek Roguli asked again.

He could accept the price of US$485 for such a powerful mobile phone. The reason why he asked this was because he wanted to win the exclusive agency. "Except for you, I have reached an agreement with AT&T, and we have finalized the retail price at $699. We will hold a product launch conference in the United States on the 28th of this month." Han Chen said.

"I wonder what your payment method is?" Malek Roguli asked after pondering.

The exclusive agency matter was out of the question, but he couldn't refuse Han Chen because their business involved multiple countries, and AT&T's business only covered 4 countries.

"This depends on how much your company plans to purchase," Han Chen said.

"I plan to purchase 200 million units from you. These 200 million units will be divided into 10 supplies. We will be supplied to us once a week, and 20 units will be supplied to us each time. However, if your products are unsaleable, you must refund the original price to us. If there is a slowdown in sales, we will notify you one week in advance to stop production," Malek Roguli said.

Although he is personally very optimistic about this mobile phone, Deep Blue is a new brand after all, and he will be responsible if it cannot be sold, so he will request a return.

"There is no problem with returns, but the cycle cannot exceed one month." Han Chen said.

Han Chen and AT&T also offered the same conditions. If the product cannot be sold, it must be returned within a month. This is to prevent the other party from deliberately suppressing the product and causing trouble.

As long as the products are returned within one month, Han Chen can arrange to sell the products in other regions.

"No problem. I wonder how much I need to pay in advance?" Malek Roguli nodded.

"Pay 40% of the payment in advance and transport by air. The shipping freight will be borne by you and the return freight will be borne by us. The settlement will be settled by both parties after 35 days." Han Chen said.

"When can you supply goods to us?" Malek Roguli asked again.

"We will supply products to you within 10 days after signing the contract, which is the same time we supply to AT&T. You two can go online at the same time," Han Chen said.

Kong Huimin called Han Chen on the way to Vodafone. Tantai Lingling had already contacted BYD, which could provide a production capacity of up to 100,000 units per day.

AT&T wants 50 units at a time, WoF requires 20 units at a time, and 70 units will take 7 days at the earliest.

In addition to logistics and transportation, ten days is just right. In addition, Luxshare Precision can OEM 20 pairs of headphones for Deep Blue every day.

"Okay, then let the legal affairs handle the matter of the contract." Malek Rogulli said after thinking about it.

"Mr. Malek, I have another product here. I wonder if you are interested." Han Chen said and took out another box from his bag.

The box contained the wireless headphones of Deep Blue Technology. Then Han Chen introduced the headphones to Malek Roguli. Malek looked at the small headphones in his hand and liked them very much.

"You mean the built-in microphone of your headset supports the call function?" Malek Roguli asked.

"Yes, and our headphones also support iPhone 4." Han Chen nodded.

"Can't other mobile phones be used?" Malek Roguli asked curiously.

"Other mobile phones can also use our headset, but other mobile phones do not support the Listening technology, and the battery life will be greatly shortened. If the battery life is up to 40 minutes on other mobile phones, the battery life is likely to be shorter than I expected." Han Chen said.

"Why do you also have listening technology?" Malek Roguli asked curiously.

In his opinion, it was impossible for Fruit to share its technology with others. The fact that the two companies used the same technology made him very curious.

"Because this technology was invented by us, the fruit is licensed from us." Han Chen said with a smile.

"Then the Starlink technology used in the iPhone also belongs to you?" Malek Roguli asked again.

"Yes." Han Chen nodded.

"How much do you charge for Starlink technology?" Malek Roguli asked.

In addition to selling mobile phones, WoFunda also operates wired networks, so they have their own brand of Internet equipment. Starlink WIFI has also become popular in recent times. Its ultra-low latency and ultra-high Internet connection make users love it. How can they put down such a good product? Can miss it.

So the operations department decided to launch its own Starlink WIFI. Unexpectedly, Han Chen delivered it to his door by such a coincidence.

"We only license the technology on the receiving end. We only sell chips on the transmitting end and do not license the transmitting technology. The price of a single chip is US$27.8. This price does not include shipping and tax, but we will provide a public version of the routing design." Han Chen said.

"Can't the price be cheaper?" Malek Roguli asked.

The market price of old-fashioned WIFI chips is only US$27.8 per piece, while Starlink's transmitter chip actually sells for US$. This price is far beyond his budget.

"Mr. Malek, the price cannot be lowered for the time being. The performance of this chip is very powerful, and it also has a firewall function and is much more secure than other routers.

Presumably Mr. Malek should know about Deep Blue Network Security Company. Deep Blue Network Security Company is a company under our group, and our routing firmware was developed by Deep Blue Network Security.

And we will also provide customers with firmware iteration updates regularly. "Han Chen shook his head.

"What is the payment method for chips?" Malek Roguli asked.

"Full payment, the local price to the port is 27.8 US dollars. You are responsible for transportation and customs clearance. I suggest you find a foundry in China and ship it to all parts of the world after production in China. This can significantly reduce your costs." Han Chen said.

"5000 million pills, 27 US dollars." Malek Roguli said.

Because their networks were all produced by Chinese OEMs, he did not reject Han Chen's proposal.

"Mr. Malek, even if you want 1 million pieces, I still need them. I sell them to other friends at the same price. Their purchase volume is no less than yours, unless Samstar or TSMC lower their foundry costs." Han Chen said seriously .

The reason why Han Chen is unwilling to sell to them for a penny less is precisely because at this price, a chip can earn 100 soft sister coins. If the price is less, there will be a lot of extra change. 5000 million chips can earn exactly 50 billion soft sister coins. .

"Okay, you win." Malek Roguli stopped bargaining after seeing Han Chen's determination.

"Mr. Malek, when they adjust the OEM price, I will definitely lower the price as soon as possible." Han Chen said with a smile.

"How much does that headphone cost?" Malek Roguli asked.

At this moment, Malek Roguli no longer wants to worry about the 80 cents.

"A pair of headphones costs US$80, with a minimum prepayment of 50%, and returns are not supported. This price includes tariffs. The price I agreed with AT&T is US$199," Han Chen said.

"How about $70 a pair?" Malek Roguli said.

"Mr. Malek, the price we gave AT&T is also the same price. Mr. Randall's daughter is my classmate." Han Chen said.

Han Chen’s meaning is very simple. The daughter of the president of AT&T is still my classmate. The price I give him is the same as the price I give you, so you don’t need to bargain anymore.

"We want 100 million pairs of headphones. If we want to add more in the future, I will contact you at that time." Malek Roguli said. (End of chapter)
