City: Start A Chip Factory

Du Bo entered the reception room on the first floor of the office building and saw several people sitting on the sofa.

There are two people on one side and three people on the other side, sitting separately and clearly distinguishable.

They didn't speak to each other, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.

Wei Tao was also in the reception room. When he saw Du Bo coming, he immediately stood up and introduced the two groups of people.

Xiaopeng and Tesla's people also stood up and said hello to Du Bo.

Of course, as the owner of the chip factory, Du Bo must have attracted much attention.

Du Bo is so young, only in his twenties, which surprised both groups of people.

Whether you are young or not is secondary, the key is to talk about business.

The leader of Xiaopeng Electric Vehicle is named Zhu Wenyu, who is in his thirties and is the manager of the supply chain department.

The leader of Tesla is named Kaili Jiang. She is a woman and looks to be in her thirties.

His name sounds like a foreigner, but he is actually a returnee from overseas, and he is also a manager at Tesla Zhongyuan Company.

Du Bo was very curious about how Xiaopeng's electric car and Tesla came to his door.

Du Bo Semiconductor has only been established for less than two months, and its popularity is still very low.

In fact, Du Bo underestimated the electric car industry.

In the future, electric vehicles will also play a prominent role in China, and the supply chain has long been thoroughly studied by peers.

News of future electric vehicles’ cooperation with Du Bo Semiconductor has long spread.

No, Xiaopeng's electric car also suffered from core deficiency, so he hurriedly found it.

As for Tesla, as mentioned before, the situation is not very good, and preparations need to be made early.

Once there is a reduction in core production or even a suspension of production, it will have a huge impact on the stock price, and things will get serious at that time.

At this time, everyone had finished their greetings, and Du Bo asked both parties to sit down.

He also asked Wei Tao to arrange more food and drinks.

Zhu Wenyu: "Mr. Du, let's keep the story short. We have negotiated with Mr. Wei and are ready to sign an OEM contract, so we must give priority to our orders. Do you think this is right?"

Du Bo was stunned and said: "Indeed..."

Kaili Jiang shook his head and took over the topic: "Boss Du, you can't say that. You have discussed it, but the contract hasn't been signed yet. It only counts after you sign the contract."

Kaili Jiang added: "Besides, the difference is only half an hour. What does it mean if you are so early?"

When Zhu Wenyu heard this, he was not happy: "How can you talk like that? It's better to do it sooner. Even if there is no contract signed, it is at least verbally agreed upon. This is called a gentleman's agreement!"

Kelly Jiang curled his lips: "What kind of gentleman's agreement? This is not the case internationally."

Zhu Wenyu was angry: "This is not international, this is domestic!"

Du Bo has a headache.

How could these two be middle- and senior-level managers of a large company? They were clearly giant babies.

But they were obviously impatient.

Compared with the superficial courtesy, the chip is more important.

Without the core, the loss is not just a matter of money.

The domestic electric vehicles in Zhongyuan are developing too rapidly, and they are all trying to capture the market and strive to gain a larger market share.

If you relax a little bit at this time, you will end up at the mercy of others.

Although Tesla is so awesome, the situation is not much better, so I thought of adding it.

Du Bo persuaded them to stop, and then said: "You two, listen to me, it's great that we are all harmonious, and harmony makes money."

Zhu Wenyu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Du, I can't be nice now. Our inventory is about to bottom out. If we wait any longer, it won't be a reduction in production, but a suspension of production!"

Kelly Jiang glanced at Zhu Wenyu and muttered in a low voice: "Pretend to be pitiful, as if no one is in this situation."

Du Bo thought about it for a moment: "Well, let's do it this way. Since Xiaopeng's electric car is the first thing to be discussed, let's go to the front first."

When Kaili Jiang heard this, his expression became very unhappy.

Du Bo said first: "Of course, we will also try our best to arrange Tesla orders to meet the procurement requirements of both parties."

I have to say that Du Bo still uses this "diplomatic rhetoric" very smoothly.

Du Bo also feels that he is fair.

Regardless of whether a formal OEM contract has been signed or not, after all, it has been negotiated, which means that you have arrived early to buy milk tea and you should not be jumped in line.

Tesla is indeed a huge customer, and any manufacturer would drool when they see this opportunity.

Becoming a supplier of Tesla is quite difficult, no less than becoming a supplier of coarse grains.

But Du Bo feels that there is still a bottom line.

Especially in this kind of supply chain business, reputation in the industry is even more important.

After hearing this, Zhu Wenyu immediately smiled and seemed to be relieved: "Mr. Du, this is best, so I don't have any objection."

Kaili Jiang: "Of course you have no objection, Boss Du, I don't agree!"

Kaili Jiang stopped Du Bo from speaking: "Boss Du, I have said everything I should say before, now I will say something more realistic."

Du Bo was startled: "Say."

Kelly Jiang: “We’ll increase the price!”

Du Bo and Zhu Wenyu were both stunned.

Du Bo: "Price increase?"

Kaili Jiang: “No matter how much Xiaopeng’s electric car costs, we at Tesla will raise the price by 20%!”
