NOVEL NEXT Chapter 136: The Great Japan Earthquake
As the global vice president of OPP Group, Xu Ming is also the president of the development business group within the group.
Since my employees attended the Tiansheng Company press conference, several of them took back several battery gift packs.
The next day, engineers from the development department were immediately asked to start testing the performance and reliability of the battery.
After several days of testing, the final results were beyond Xu Ming's expectations.
Of course, it's not that the battery that was brought back failed the test, but that the results obtained after the test were actually better than those introduced at the original press conference.
After confirming the formality of the report for three times, Xu Ming went directly to the company president Chen Yongming on the day he received the report.
When he found the other party, he proposed on the spot that OPP's mid-to-high-end models should immediately be replaced with new lithium material batteries.
Chen Yongming didn't think it was necessary at first. After all, the battery supplier is already very stable.
The "353" batteries that came out then have not been verified by the market, and the price is definitely much higher than the currently used ternary lithium batteries.
By then the cost of the whole machine will definitely increase a lot.
Although Xu Ming was rejected on the spot, he was not discouraged and explained to Chen Yongming how many benefits it would be if all mid-to-high-end OPP phones were paired with this phone.
How can we create a topic at that time? With Tiansheng's fast charging technology, how much can the price of mobile phones be increased?
After a whole day of fighting, Chen Yongming, president of OPP Group, finally had no choice but to nod in agreement with his idea.
Of course, it was just to give him a chance to test this idea, and he decided to first take a model that will be released next quarter and use it with a new lithium material battery to see how consumers respond.
If the response is enthusiastic, we will consider replacing all remaining mid- to high-end models with new lithium materials.
With Chen Yongming's permission, Xu Ming did not delay and asked his secretary to contact Tiansheng Company that day, and drove from Guancheng to Wanyue Building the next day.
Li Yu received a notification from Hua Xue yesterday that Xu Ming wanted to see her to discuss the other company's purchase of batteries.
At first, he didn't know who Xu Ming was. After Hua Xue explained, he realized that he was actually the president of the development department and vice president of the domestic mobile phone industry giant OPP Group.
For this domestic brand, in addition to knowing that the other party has high quality and low price, Li Yu also did not think of the bad news about OPP Group for a while.
The most important thing is that this company has not been listed and has no foreign shares. These points are very suitable for Ji Yu's appetite.
So he agreed to meet the other party on the spot.
"Mr. Li! I didn't expect you to be so young! You are so young and promising!"
When Xu Ming looked at such a young Li Yu, he suddenly felt unbelievable.
"Haha! President Xu deserves the award!" Li Yu laughed directly after hearing this.
The two of them did not chat about the business content for the first time. Xu Ming was not in a hurry, so he would not stop talking.
Although the other party is the first customer to come to the door in a few days, the production line in Dapeng District has not yet been completed, and even if it is negotiated, it will not be produced at all.
The two of them drank tea and chatted for nearly two hours. Li Yu, an old man named Xu Ming, chatted from south to north, and the topic continued and he admired the other party's rich experience.
Seeing that the time was about to reach lunch time, Xu Ming stopped chatting, immediately straightened his posture and changed his attitude and said:
"Mr. Li, after our company's internal testing, the performance of your company's new lithium battery is very consistent with the requirements of our next model.
So I came here this time to purchase batteries from your company for our next model. "
Li Yu asked doubtfully: "President Xu, thank you for your company's kindness. I wonder how much your company will purchase this batch and when will it start delivery?"
"This!" Xu Ming suddenly said with some embarrassment: "I really don't know this detailed information. I came here just to ask if your company can start mass production.
And can you customize the battery according to our requirements? Of course, the most important thing is whether you can provide a batch of samples for our R&D department to adapt?"
After all, Xu Ming is not from the purchasing department. Although one of the next-generation flagship phones has already been decided to be equipped with a new lithium battery.
But at present, he is actually here just for the purpose of purchasing and wants to get a batch of samples for development.
"Oh! I don't know how many samples Mr. Xu needs. If there are too many, it will still be a bit difficult for our company at the moment."
The other party asked for a batch of samples first. Li Yu knew that this was normal. After all, the other party's models were not compatible with new lithium batteries and it was impossible to directly set specifications and purchase a batch.
So he first asked the other party how much this batch of samples would cost, and told him that the industrial zone in Dapeng District was still under construction and was temporarily unable to produce large-scale production...
If the other party requires a small quantity, Li Yu can also ask the current production department to put some effort into producing it for the other party.
"Not much, not much!" Xu Ming said happily when Li Yu agreed directly: "At present, our R&D department has designed seven specifications of battery shapes [one thousand yuan for each specification should be enough."
Seven thousand batteries, although divided into seven specifications, are not too many for the current Tiansheng Production Technology.
After all, the company produced tens of thousands of batteries for the battery gift package last time at the press conference, and the specifications were also divided into several types.
"No problem, but President Xu, even though it's just a sample, you still need to pay for it!"
Even if 7,000 batteries cost 100 yuan each, it is only 700,000 yuan, which is just a small thing for both companies, but Li Yu still directly asked for payment.
Xu Ming naturally had no objection and immediately said that the payment would be credited to Tiansheng Company's account within one working day after signing the contract.
This time, Li Yu and Xu Ming chatted smoothly, and they signed a sample purchase contract that afternoon.
Originally, the other party said that the payment would be received within three days, but the payment was received the next day. Tiansheng Production Technology immediately started production according to the other party's request.
Just when Li Yu was focusing on the battery industry, the domestic daily chemical industry suddenly experienced an earthquake.
"What did you say? Zhang Xianzhong resigned?"
In the Guangdong Community, Li Yu had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the sofa checking some documents. When Chen Xi suddenly told him about Zhang Xianzhong's resignation, he said in disbelief.
You must know that since Zhang Xianzhong joined the Procter & Gamble Group in 1996, he has led Procter & Gamble to become the company with the highest market share in the domestic market for more than 20 years.
No matter how many people in the cleaning headquarters are jealous of the position of president of Greater China, they have never been able to threaten him at all.
But now the other party unexpectedly broke the news and resigned directly without saying anything.
"Yes!" Chen Xiran was sitting on the sofa and said with a look of disbelief: "I heard the news this afternoon that he resigned this morning and I couldn't believe it at the first time.
But after the Procter & Gamble Group also issued an announcement announcing that Zhang Xianzhong will no longer serve as the president of Greater China and has resigned, I believe it is true!"
