Chapter 335: Show the Guts to Build the Core!
At this speed, it seems a bit slow to complete the task.
It's been such a long time, and the stock distribution hasn't even reached a billion. I wonder if Microsoft is playing some tricks over there.
However, Lin Yi wasn't too worried about this, as after all, they truly can't imitate his technology.
At most, they are just trying to buy time to crack his product.
A couple of days ago, Lin Yi received a data report about foreign products.
Internal system data shows that recently there have been almost a hundred mobile phones damaged every day over there.
It's evident that this is definitely a deliberate operation.
It seems that although this group of Microsoft folks has influence, they aren't reliable partners.
If that's the case, then I might as well find a few more companies to collaborate with.
With mutual constraints, they'll have to obediently distribute the goods to make money.
After all, it's better not to put all your eggs in one basket.
Smiling and shaking his head, now that he has the technology, can he still be manipulated by these guys?
With this thought, he packed up the mecha and left the lab.
He went to the group headquarters and first instructed the establishment of a Nuclear Inspection Department, then went to the foreign trade department responsible for liaising with Microsoft.
He carefully looked into the recent situation over there.
Upon investigation, he indeed found something fishy.
Not only are there plenty of damaged phones every day, but over such a long time, Microsoft has only opened one sales store.
The reason given for not expanding was that they are locating stores in different places.
Though this excuse is lousy, and the foreign trade department has been urging them, the actual effect is still minimal.
However, one thing is very suspicious, which is the large order volume.
It's almost like they take whatever is supplied from this side.
Though the order volume is large, Lin Yi's system shows poor cash flow ability. With such a large order volume, the sales revenue is only tens of millions.
According to the contract, they only need to pay a 30% advance on each phone, with the remaining amount settled based on the activation volume of Fruit Core phones here.
Clearly, these goods have been hoarded by Microsoft.
Though the purpose is not yet completely certain, it likely isn't anything good.
During this time, Lin Yi's focus has been on the Nuclear New Park, while Li Huiqun's energy shifted to the Nuclear Car, leading to some neglect here.
Of course, this is also because both Li Huiqun and the Fruit Core Technology executives are overly confident in their product.
In their view, the Fruit Core phone is a product ahead of its time, and no matter which country it reaches, it would surely be as frantically pursued as in Huaxia.
Moreover, distributors having the chance to cooperate with Fruit Core Technology would also try their best to stockpile goods.
And the other side indeed has hoarded goods; as long as supplies are provided, they take everything.
"From now on, stop supplying phones to that side and notify them that starting today, 30% prepayment is no longer allowed, and 100% payment is required for delivery.
Additionally, for all previously ordered phones, the remaining 70% payment must be settled within two days! Otherwise, we will unilaterally terminate this cooperation.
And tell their side straightforwardly that a few major companies like Apple have already contacted us."
After going through the various reports in his hands, Lin Yi set them on the table, looked up at the foreign trade department head, and said.
Just as the foreign trade department head nodded and was about to execute, Lin Yi's voice sounded again:
"Additionally, show the spirit of us Nuclear Creators. If they want goods, let them beg us. Let them look up to our noses. Alright, go get busy now."
After delegating the tasks here, Lin Yi arranged for the external affairs department to go on to major foreign forums, announcing that Fruit Core phones would collaborate with a mysterious company, striving to let everyone use Fruit Core phones soon!
The purpose of doing this, of course, is to deliberately show those who want to see.
Lin Yi believed that once this news spread across major foreign forums, not just Apple, but many foreign capitals would likely be eager to move.
After all, in front of capital, only profits matter most.
And coincidentally, the actual controllers of the Beautiful Country are powerful capitalists and huge consortiums.
Ring—ring—ring~
Just after handling the matters here, the phone rang.
When he looked, it was Li Huiqun calling.
"Boss, I just received an invitation from the 'Middle East Dubai Car Exhibition', saying they've invited us to attend an international car show a week from now. They've even specially invited you. Should we go?"
"Middle East Dubai Car Exhibition?? Yes, go, why not. These guys are loaded with money. By then, tell Ziri to set up a special Middle Eastern edition selection store.
Set the basic model pricing at 5 million, and tell the technicians to loosen some engine restrictions to achieve a hundred-meter acceleration of 2.3 seconds.
Double all optional prices in the store by dozens of times, with no ceiling. Even if it's a car worth billions, we'll make it for them.
Oh, and specially promote that if a single car costs over 50 million, our options will be unique, with absolutely no second car of the same model globally."
Upon hearing the boss suggesting that a car could sell for over a billion, Li Huiqun almost threw his phone down.
Wow, the boss is ruthless! Just the most basic model costs 990,000 domestically, yet directly starts at 5 million in Dubai.
That's more than 50 times the price of a domestic car for just one!
Moreover, Li Huiqun believes that those wealthy tycoons, seeing a car accelerating to 100 meters in just 2.3 seconds, will definitely go crazy.
The key point is, they will definitely not choose the lowest configuration.
After all, those guys are masters at customization.
Just like the boss said, make a Pure Gold version and sell it for tens of billions. The profit from selling one car can be equivalent to the profit from selling thousands domestically!
It's insanely profitable not to pursue this opportunity.
Since Lin Yi agreed, Li Huiqun went to respond and had the Nuclear Car team begin preparing the vehicles for the exhibition.
Of course, Li Huiqun knows, this trip is not just about fooling some foreigners, as the Middle East Dubai Car Exhibition is the largest and most influential professional car exhibition in the Middle East region.
By then, it could be said...
