Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 182: High-end outlook, Sony is on the road!

Audiences and fans who had just watched the finale were shocked by this news.

Everyone knows that Meiyou has launched a new high-end brand!

Everyone knows that Liu Shishi endorses Le Zhenyou!

Zhen You is obviously only making her first public appearance, but she has already become an instant hit!

It can only be said that Wang Yi's choice to officially announce Zhen You in the finale of "Step by Step" is just right.

So many female fans know about Zhen You and are looking forward to Zhen You’s new products!

After all, Meiyou is so successful, defeating HM and ZARA.

It is not impossible for Zhen You to go one step further and try to compete with GUCCI, LV and Prada.

In addition to branding, big brands also need to look at design.

Zhenyou's brand is not as famous as the big international brands, but its design is ten years ahead of them!

You can definitely give it a try!

For a time, many female users were excited and looking forward to it.

There are also a lot of discussions and speculations about Zhen You on Weibo.

Others discovered that Zhen You’s official WeChat account had been opened and started paying attention to it.

Some people even felt that they could not buy Zhenyou’s new products for the time being, so they simply went to Meiyou Mall and bought some Meiyou clothing...

Women's consumption is like the rain in June, it comes as soon as it comes.

When you’re in a good mood, spend!

Even if you are in a bad mood, you still need to spend money!

Whether you are in a bad mood or not, you still have to spend money!

In short, there are 10,000 reasons to spend...

Wang Yi didn't pay attention to these and went to sleep directly. He had to talk about screens and memory chips tomorrow!

The number of Kemeiyou users has begun to increase crazily.

Many viewers of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and fans of Liu Shishi were not originally users of Meiyou.

Through the Zhenyou incident, I got to know Meiyou, and they all downloaded the Meiyou APP and became Meiyou users!

When I see the beautiful Meiyou pure lust style dresses and pure lust style autumn clothes, I just feel like I have discovered a new world!

They were so excited that they chopped their hands all night long!

You know, night is the most impulsive time!

As a result, the number of users increased, and the revenue and profits of Meiyou Mall also soared again.

Overnight, Meiyou APP added another 100 million users, and the total number of users exceeded 2700 million!

And it’s still increasing.

Wang Yi is not surprised by this. Today, the 28th, the number of Meiyou users exceeded 3000 million in the evening, which is no problem!

And it will continue to increase dramatically in the next few days!

Without him, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is so popular right now, and Liu Shishi is so popular!

Even more popular than "Thirty-three Days of Love" and Ye Xiaohe.

After all, a movie is just a movie. Everyone will be excited after watching it, but after a few days, the excitement will fade away.

But "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is different. It has been broadcast continuously for so long, and I stayed up late every day to catch up on it.

The influence is naturally much greater than the 90-minute "Love Is Not Blind"!

And the current Liu Shishi is much more popular than Ye Xiaohe.

In addition, you need to pay to watch "Thirty-day Love" in a theater. Even if it sells for 1700 million at the box office, it will only be seen by million people.

But "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is free and broadcast every day, so the audience is not tens of millions, but hundreds of millions!

Even if the TV premiere is over, there are still two or three rounds...

On the video platform, it continues to be on the on-demand list, and people watch it every day!

Even if only some of the hundreds of millions of viewers and fans become Meiyou users, it is an astronomical figure!

Precisely because of the greater influence of "Step by Step" and Liu Shishi, Wang Yicai asked Ye Xiaohe to endorse Meiyou and Liu Shishi to endorse the higher-end Zhenyou!

Only "Thirty-three Days of Love" and Ye Xiaohe have added nearly 10 million new users to Meiyou.

So how many new users will the more terrifying Liu Shishi bring to Meiyou and Zhenyou?

Ten million will definitely not be able to stop it!

With this wave of traffic, Wang Yi will still win!

With two of the most popular spokespersons this year, it is only the beginning that the number of Meiyou users exceeds 3000 million, and it is only a matter of time before it reaches 4000 million!

Wang Yi was in a good mood and had breakfast with Takizawa Tianichi.

Originally, Wang Yi was planning to change his hotel stay, but Takizawada refused and insisted that Wang Yi stay here.

After all, the order for 1000 million sets has been signed, the first batch of payment has been fully received, and every subsequent batch of goods has also been prepaid in advance!

Takizawa Tianichi must pay attention to this kind of refreshing super big customer, and he hopes to continue to cooperate next year!

"Director Wang, after dinner, I will take you to experience the customs and customs of Neon Country!"

Takizawa smiled, but Wang Yi refused: "Sorry, Mr. Takizawa, I have to go to Toshiba to talk about mobile phone screens."

Chatting with Takizawa Tianichi last night, Wang Yicai learned a fact.

Currently, JDI is still under formation!

In 2009, Neon Country officially promoted the investment company's industrial innovation organization and integrated the small and medium-sized LCD departments of Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi into a new "Neon Display" company, which is the famous JDI!

But there are too many interests involved, and progress is slow.

It was only recently that a complete agreement was reached, and the merger will be officially announced to become JDI.

However, the three major companies are still operating independently, and JDI will not officially put into production until April next year!

Therefore, Wang Yi can only choose from Sharp and Toshiba for his screen.

As for Sony, although it also has a 720 resolution screen.

But now the 720P screen is considered a new technology, and Sony’s production capacity is limited. Most of the 720P screens are given to Sony’s new mobile phones.

Wang Yi asked for too much, and Sony was powerless!

"Oh, yes, you are short on time to make mobile phones." Takizawa Tianichi suddenly realized:

"Then I will arrange a car for you and a driver who is familiar with Neon Country!"

"How embarrassing is this?" Wang Yixiao said with a smile.

"This is my honor! Director Wang, you will always be my best friend! Sony's best friend!"

"Thank you."

Wang Yi is very satisfied with Sony's success.

Next year’s big lens order will go to Sony!

After all, Samsung's lenses are worse and may be cut off, so Sony's lenses are obviously better.

The butt decides the position!

Samsung’s mobile phone sales number one in the world and will always be Samsung’s main business. No matter how profitable other accessories are, they have to make way for the mobile phone business.

If it threatens Samsung mobile phones, Samsung would rather pay liquidated damages than break the contract!

But Sony is different!

Sony's mobile phones failed to live up to expectations, and their market share was always at the expense of others. In the next two years, Sony's mobile phone business would suffer losses every year, and finally it would close down completely...

It can be said that Sony’s mobile phones are Sony’s most loss-making department, while lenses are Sony’s highest-income department.

Later, Sony simply thought about it, gave up the mobile phone business, and focused on selling lenses!

Therefore, by cooperating with Sony, Wang Yi does not have to worry about neck jamming.

Same goes for Sharp and Toshiba.

The mobile phone business failed to live up to expectations, and they gradually gave up, and their main business became selling accessories!

If you cooperate with this kind of supply chain, you will feel more at ease.

Like Samsung, it sells both mobile phones and accessories.

They are both suppliers and competitors, so no one can rest assured!

Takizawada directly arranged an Alfa and a driver for Wang Yi to serve him throughout the journey.

Send Wang Yi all the way to Toshiba headquarters.

"Thank you for sending us here." Wang Yi smiled and wanted the driver to go back first.

But the driver waved his hand: "Director Wang, just go and talk. When you finish talking, I will take you back!"

"Why are you so embarrassed?" "It's okay, Director Wang, the president has told me that my task these days is to be your driver! If you drive me back, I can't explain it!"

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work!" Wang Yi patted the other party's shoulder and walked towards Toshiba's headquarters.

The core of a mobile phone is the four major components: chip module, screen assembly, memory + flash memory, and lens module!

It is also the most expensive of the four items.

Among them, chip modules are the most expensive!

However, Qualcomm processors in 2011 were still very cheap, the MSM8860 was only about 150 yuan.

But three years later, the price of Snapdragon 810 and 820 has risen to 60 US dollars, 400+!

On the contrary, it was 845, which dropped to about 300 yuan.

Snapdragon 855 is also about 400 yuan.

A big event happened in 2019. Competitors were sanctioned, and Qualcomm became emboldened and increased prices crazily.

The Snapdragon 865 launched that year directly increased its price by 50%, selling for more than 600.

The subsequent Snapdragon 888 directly exceeded 1000+

The later Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is about 1100 yuan.

You know, the total cost of the first generation of Xiaomi was only about 1300, and the subsequent ones dropped to about 1000!

And a Qualcomm chip many years later will be 1100!

No wonder Xiaomi mobile phones have been sold from 1999 to 2999, 3999, or even 4999...

It’s not that Rebus has forgotten his original intention, it’s mainly because Qualcomm chip prices have increased too much!

If you sell it for 1999, you will definitely lose money!

The current Qualcomm MSM8860 chip only costs about 150 yuan.

Adding the dual power management chip and other three chips, the price is only 40-45 US dollars, less than 300 yuan.

It’s so cheap!

Similarly, screen assemblies these days are not as expensive as they would be many years later.

The screen assembly includes a display screen + capacitive touch + touch chip.

Xiaomi’s 4-inch 480 resolution screen assembly only costs about US$30 as a complete set.

However, Wang Yi wants a 4.3-inch screen with 720 resolution, which is a level higher and will definitely be more expensive.

What price can be negotiated at that time is the question.

Zhu Changlin had already contacted Toshiba before going out, so someone was already waiting at the door.

"Hello, Director Wang, I am Taichi Ohashi, Director of Marketing Department of Toshiba. Welcome Director Wang to visit Toshiba!"

Ohashi Taichi smiled and held out his hand.

Ever since he learned that Wang Yi had signed a large order for 1000 million sets of lenses with Sony last night, Ohashi Taichi had been so excited that he couldn't sleep.

I've been waiting for Wang Yi all day today!

When he learned that Wang Yi was coming, he even canceled other meetings and came to the door to greet Wang Yi in person!

This kind of big customer is really important.

There is no way, the screen competition is more fierce than the lens competition!

In terms of lenses, Sony and Samsung compete.

But the screen is different!

The T0 echelon has Samsung as the super overlord!

The T1 echelon includes international giants such as Sharp, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Kyocera.

The T2 echelon includes AUO, Tianma, etc...

When Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi are completely merged into JDI, there will be two fewer competitors.

But now, they are still fighting each other and the competition is fierce.

After some pleasantries, Ohashi Taichi took Wang Yi to the conference room, took out a model machine and showed it to Wang Yi:

"Director Wang, as you can see, this is our latest Toshiba 720 resolution, 4.3-inch screen!"

Wang Yi took it and looked at it carefully while thinking to himself:

'The resolution and size are what I want! '

'Cool white screen, no yellowing, good screen quality, decent brightness...'

Wang Yi was very satisfied in his heart, but he said casually: "It's just so-so. Is the production capacity no problem?"

"No problem. There are currently few customers for 720P resolution and sufficient production capacity. It will not be a problem to provide you with one million sets per month. I wonder how much Mr. Wang wants?"

Taichi Ohashi was full of expectations.

Unlike Sony, Toshiba mobile phones are only feature phones and were discontinued in 2007.

Sony has made a 720P screen, but it cannot be sold. It can be used in Sony mobile phones and is produced and sold by itself.

But Toshiba made a 720P screen, but if it couldn’t sell it, it would be a real loss!

Therefore, we have sufficient production capacity and we are eager to win Wang Yi’s five million order!

Wang Yi smiled: "How much you want depends on the price."

Ohashi Tai nodded: "To be honest, 720 resolution is the latest product, the cost is more expensive, the price is much higher than 480. The 4.3-inch one, a set of screen assembly, costs 45 US dollars!"

"How much?" Wang Yi almost wanted to curse:

"The screen Xiaomi bought is only 30 US dollars. You charge me 45 US dollars, which is half the price! Are you crazy?"

Taichi Ohashi sighed: "Director Wang, there is really nothing we can do. The latest technology is one generation ahead of Xiaomi, but the cost is high."

"Don't talk about these useless things!" Wang Yi waved his hand: "I want a large quantity. You have to think carefully before bidding. Don't scare me away!"

If only 100,000 sets were needed, Wang Yi would have to beg his grandfather and grandma like Rebus.

Now that Wang Yi wants five million units at once, then he is Party A, the father of the funder!

You don’t have to be polite to speak!

On the contrary, Ohashi Taichi nodded and bowed, fearing that Wang Yi would turn around and go to Sharp, Hitachi, or even Samsung...

Taichi Ohashi thought for a while: "Director Wang, if you want five million units, I will give you 42 US dollars!"

"the lowest?"

"the lowest!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and think about it!"

Wang Yi expected that a 720P screen would be more expensive than a 480P screen, but he didn’t expect it to be so much more expensive!

Xiaomi wants a small amount, a set of screen assembly costs 30 US dollars, but Wang Yi wants a large quantity, and it is not a big problem to press the screen to 24 US dollars.

Even if the 720 resolution is a new technology, the cost is high, 50% more expensive, $36, Wang Yi accepts it.

But Toshiba charged him $42, which was a full 75% more expensive!

Mudd, it’s too dark!

Seeing Wang Yi getting up and about to leave, Daqiao Taiyi said quickly: "Director Wang, it's almost noon, why not stay for a meal?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "I won't eat anymore, I have to rush to Kyoto."

"Kyoto, Kyocera!" Tai Qiao's expression changed drastically, knowing that Wang Yi was going to inspect other suppliers.

Kyocera’s screens are pretty good these days.

The city next door to Kyoto is Sharp, an LCD screen giant!

If Wang Yi goes there, these five million screens will be snatched away by Kyocera and Sharp!

For a moment, Daqiao Taiyi was anxious: "Director Wang, I did another calculation. If you want five million sets, the price can be as high as 40 US dollars!"

"Another bargain!" Wang Yi shook his head:

"It's not low enough. You have to know that as time goes by, the cost of the screen will only get lower and lower. I want a large quantity, so you have to keep the price to the lowest!"

Taichi Ohashi frowned: "Director Wang, if it goes any lower, we will have no profit!"

"So what if there is no profit? Even if you don't make money with the first one million screens, when the cost comes down later and the remaining four million screens are left, you will make a lot of money! People, you have to have a long-term perspective."

After saying this, Wang Yi turned and left.

Since he is Party A, he has to be arrogant.

Otherwise, the price cannot be lowered at all!

As for whether Toshiba will compromise, it depends on the psychological game!
