Chapter 204 Cultivating Domestic Suppliers

After listening to Qiao Ruida's discussion, Maurice suddenly became enlightened. Many things that he had not understood before were now suddenly clear to him, "I understand, BOSS. If we want to ensure the stability of Ruida's mobile phone production, we must diversify the supply chain as much as possible." , and even took control of some companies in the supply chain, providing them with funds, technology, and even production equipment, so that they have enough strength to compete with foreign manufacturers."

"You're right, that's what I mean. After all, Reda Technology Company is a latecomer in the mobile phone market. There is a huge gap between it and those established mobile phone manufacturers in terms of channels and connections. In order not to be controlled by others in the supply chain, more Winning over several mobile phone parts suppliers is exactly what it should be.”

That afternoon, Qiao Ruida and Morris talked about a lot of things together, including the development plan of Ruida Technology Company, the economic situation at home and abroad, the expected trends of Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, and European stock markets, etc. The conversation lasted until the evening, and then Jorida invited Morris to have dinner with him in the restaurant downstairs before sending him away.

After a night of silence, Qiao Ruida got on the flight back to the capital the next day. When he came, his hands were empty. When he returned, Qiao Ruida had a small trolley case in his hand as a cover. The trolley case contained things that his girlfriend Du Qingqing asked him to buy on his behalf. As for the other things Qiao Ruida bought in Hong Kong this time, they are still stored in the dimensional space. Putting things in the dimensional space does not take up any external space and does not carry any weight. It is not very convenient. From this point of view, this dimension space is simply a magical tool for home travel and shopping.

After returning to the capital, Qiao Ruida returned to her daily routine, attending classes, going to the library to read books, and occasionally going to the company to handle some daily affairs. With the large number of mechanical hard drives provided by Shengshi Foreign Trade Company, hard drive products that have been out of stock for a long time in Ruida Mall are finally on sale again. As for the selling prices of these hard drives, they naturally need to be increased appropriately. For some large-capacity hard drive products, the selling prices have increased by more than 50%. Even so, the price of these hard drives in Reda Mall is still much cheaper than the prices quoted in offline computer malls. More importantly, these hard disk products are available in large quantities in Reda Mall. Even though consumers and profiteers who came after hearing the news rushed to buy batch after batch, the supply was still not exhausted.

At the same time, the first batch of Ruida first-generation mobile phones were sold all over the world through Shengshi foreign trade channels. Compared with popular foreign smartphones from Apple, Four Star, HTC, SONY, and other brands, Reda's first-generation mobile phones have larger screens, more functions, and better looks. The most important thing is that Reda mobile phones are cheaper, and not just a little bit cheaper, but hundreds of dollars cheaper. This price difference of one hundred dollars may be nothing to people in developed countries in Europe and the United States. It is just their salary for one or two days. However, in less developed regions such as Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa, the price difference of one hundred dollars is likely to be equivalent to one month's salary of local people. When buying a mobile phone, you can save a month's salary by choosing a Reda mobile phone. Moreover, the Reda mobile phone has a larger screen, looks more attractive when you take it out, and its performance is not bad. As a result, the Reda mobile phone quickly became popular in less developed regions such as Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa, and it has the potential to become a national magic phone.

A month later, Reda mobile phones finally got all the certifications in Europe, U.S. and Taiwan. However, after Reda mobile phones entered the markets of these three countries or regions, the hot sales scene that Morris expected did not appear. Ruida mobile phones have become synonymous with cheap mobile phones and low-end products in these three countries or regions. Only those at the bottom of society will buy them.

"BOSS, I don't quite understand. Our Reda mobile phone has a bigger screen, more functions, and longer battery life, so why has it become a low-end product?" Morris raised his doubts on the phone.

Qiao Ruida organized her words and then said: "There are many reasons for this phenomenon. First, for a long time, the products exported by China to Europe and the United States were all clothing, shoes and hats. Low-end products. In the local people's perception, Made In CHINA has been regarded as synonymous with cheap products, forming a deep-rooted impression. No matter how powerful or high-end a Ruida mobile phone is, it is still a Chinese brand. In their eyes They are low-end products and not mainstream. Secondly, brands such as Apple, Four Star, and SONY are very well-known in the Western world, and their products are highly recognized by the public. And Reda mobile phones are a brand new brand, and they I have never seen it before, and no matter how cheap the price is, I dare not buy it. Thirdly, the mobile phone sales model in many European and American countries is very different from that in China. More than half of their mobile phone products are sold through the channels of communication operators Lost. And Ruida Technology does not have any channels or connections overseas. Their mobile phone products will not appear in the stores of any communication operators at all, so there is no way to open up sales.

Therefore, the road for our Reda mobile phone to go overseas is very long, and there are still many hurdles to overcome. There are still many things we have to do to establish a brand image, develop sales channels, and establish a complete after-sales service system. "

Morris thought about it carefully, then nodded in approval and said: "Boss, you are right, I was too optimistic before. By the way, BOSS, there is one more thing I want to report to you. Yesterday, An Indian seller came to us and wanted to represent our Reda mobile phones. Let’s see if we can give them a batch of goods and let them sell them in India.”

When it comes to India, Qiao Ruida is very entangled. On the one hand, India has a large population, almost as much as China, and the market potential is huge. On the other hand, the integrity of Indians is very problematic. When it comes to doing business, they often use deceptive and deceptive methods, which makes it difficult for people to guard against them. Have you never heard of the famous saying about India, "India earns money, India spends it, and don't even think about taking a penny home."

Qiao Ruida struggled for a long time before saying: "The agency rights of Ruida mobile phones can be given to them, but they are not the only agents. We can also sell them a batch of mobile phones, but the payment must be paid on the spot without any arrears. In foreign trade The integrity of Indians is very problematic, so you have to be doubly careful."

"Good boss, I have long heard about the bad reputation of Indian businessmen. I will be extra cautious when doing business with them."
