Age of Dreams

When any company produces its own products, especially consumer products, it can never produce just that many.

There are quality issues, repair and replacement issues, etc., as well as maintaining a certain amount of inventory, all of which need to be considered.

The NE has a problem with the replacement of a new machine. Although it seems a bit too hypocritical, the DreamPad is more compact than the NE, and the chance of replacement of the whole machine is relatively high.

The 30 million sets of DreamPad components that Xiao Qi had previously booked per year were proved to be insufficient at all.

The boy originally planned to sell only 30 million units after the IPAD came out in the first year. DreamPad is three years earlier than it. Now people’s acceptance of smart electronic products is not as good as three years later and can be sold. To reach 25 million units is a big victory, and the remaining 5 million units are used as maneuvers to reduce inventory, quality replacement, etc., which is also sufficient.

However, since spending 780 million U.S. dollars and overwhelmingly advertised, the DreamPad website has been squeezed again and again, and billions of video views have made Xiao Qi realize that he underestimated the enthusiasm of technology-loving fans all over the world. .

After the big price, Nielsen and other survey data companies are specially commissioned to investigate. After their data is summarized, the conclusion is that if DreamPad can guarantee the production capacity, there is no problem in selling 40 million units a year.

Xiao Qi had never dared to make up his mind through careful consideration.

Because in this world. Many people speak beautifully, but actually do it is another matter. People who said they would buy, but didn't even look at the product after it went on the market, are not only in China, but also in foreign countries.

DreamPad will be upgraded in a year and a half at most. If there is too much inventory to sell, it will always be troublesome.

That is, in the process of pre-purchasing DreamPad, the 3 million units were sold out in three days without seeing the goods. Xiao Qicai really made the decision and decided to purchase 50 million more DreamPad parts, so that the entire 80 million DreamPad should be enough for more than a year, even if there is a little memory, it can be completely digested.

According to the current status of Xiao Qi, he doesn't need to go to the parts dealer's company to order one by one. There is no need for him to personally even contact or contact.

However, the young man is a very responsible person, and he has never had the ambition to be rampant, so although there is no time to negotiate one by one, he first called and invited them to come to Chengdu to discuss the business of additional parts.

30 million sets of DreamPad parts. It was enough to make the suppliers happy, and with another 50 million sets of such a big piece of cake, everyone naturally hurried over in a hurry.

But Xiao Qi also said that who he hoped to negotiate with him last time, who also came this time. It makes those executives who contact him feel grateful, because this is obviously to improve their reputation and voice!

Only two things have changed.

First, although Samsung sold 30 million sets of NAND flash memory chips to Xiao Qi every year. But this time the addition of NAND flash memory chips has nothing to do with them, and Xiao Qi has not even made a phone call.

Then came the DreamPad chargers from Hitachi and Panasonic. Xiao Qi also persuaded them to transfer this small order to seven alliance factories in Nanwan. As a result, this company with 30% of Xiao Qi’s shares was called Friendship United. The holding company owns the three major businesses of earphones, polyurethane protective shells and chargers.

The same sentence, he remembered the people who helped Xiao Qi.

If these people are in trouble, Xiao Qi will definitely help them as much as possible.

These days in the factory sector in South Bay, the Friendship United Holdings Company has been spread. After receiving an order of 30 million sets, it has now increased by 50 million sets, and the profit margin has remained above 20%. , Why not let those factories who are exhausted with only about 5% profit envy them?

The most bitter thing is that Xiao Qi’s previous big cooperator-Quanta Electronics, the LCD screen manufacturer of AU Optronics, the No. 1 AU Optronics manufacturer on the island, has a crack in the relationship with Xiao Qi due to the relationship between Chairman Jiang Yanxin and Xiao Qi. Looking at Xiao Qi's strong support to previous cooperative manufacturers, even MediaTek has obtained chip research projects, but they still got nothing.

Jiang Yanxin has survived three rounds of impeachment, but his position in the company has plummeted. It is said that many directors have been secretly connected together, preparing to give him a thunderous blow at the next general shareholder meeting.

In the past, he could still handle it, but seeing DreamPad's three-day sales of 3 million units, and the appointment sales, it can be so hot, he knows that if he doesn't want to think of a way, it may not be a few months, he You can only leave the company that has been struggling for a lifetime.

Face can never be eaten as a meal.

Hearing that Xiao Qi was convening major suppliers during this period, Jiang Yanxin bit his head and came to Rongcheng. He also brought Su Longteng and Zhao Xueqin who had friendship with Xiao Qi, and begged to see Xiao Qi.

AU Optronics and MediaTek make the same mistakes, they both look down upon the mainland companies that can make high-tech products, so Xiao Qi has no particular dislike for Jiang Yanxin.

It’s just that this old man is too reserved. Even people such as Cai Guozhi and Xiao Qi have come to beg for mercy. Don't care about you, come and cooperate with me"?

Now Jiang Yanxin pulled his face down to apologize, and the boy naturally accepted it.

The reason is not only because of Quanta Electronics’ previous help to the fairy mobile phone ~www.readwn.com~. Another reason is that AUO’s LCD technology is very mature. On the one hand, it can be used to counterbalance Shenghua Technology and allow them to compete with each other. It can make the technological progress of both of them faster. On the other hand, it is because of the consideration of 5.0 and 5.3 inch LCD mobile phone screens. It is indeed beneficial to have more suppliers on the LCD screen.

In modern production, any single supply chain is a fragile supply chain.

If you want to have sufficient anti-risk capabilities, having two or three suppliers for the same component is the easiest way to balance development.

The only thing Xiao Qi finds a pity is that there are almost no high-precision parts suppliers in mainland China.

If at any time it is possible to realize that more than 60% of the parts and components are produced by companies in mainland China, it will prove that the high-tech companies in China have begun to flourish.
