Chapter 050 Finalize Cooperation
Gong Hui set off on time the next day, and Meng Qian sent her to the airport. He was a little reluctant to leave when he let go of her hand. He wanted her to move here, but she had her own life and family. He could not give her any promise, so he did not say this selfish proposal.
She left a kiss on his face and said in her ear: "Take care for yourself."
"So too," he said.
"Look aside." She waved her hand and pulled the box away.
"Let's see you." Meng Qian watched her leave. But they knew in their hearts that this farewell would probably not see you again for a long time.
I drove back alone, and I was bored when I got home, so I simply went to the company.
Recently, he has a bit of a monarch's intention to not go to court early, but he just paid attention to the company's development by phone. The negotiations are still in progress. In addition to Warwick, there are two domestic mobile phone dealers who are their candidates. From a future perspective, whoever Fuguo Energy supports will be able to make a fortune.
When I parked the car and went upstairs, the company was as busy as ever, and there were some new faces.
"Mr. Meng!"
"Hello Mr. Meng!"
Many people greeted him, and Meng Qian nodded and came to his office.
He listened to the assistant's report on the recent work and progress, and then Zong Yan came to the door: "Tomorrow, Samsung's senior management will come over and discuss cooperation with us."
"Promote this matter more with high profile?" Meng Qian learned a lot from Zong Yan and was already stained with darkness.
"It's OK if you have appropriate information, and there are many people paying attention to us without publicity." Zong Yan said, turning on the documents in his hand and handing them to him: "You can check out the requirements of Warwick."
"Have you decided?" Meng Qian picked it up and looked at it.
Zong Yan was very comfortable: "There are basically only some small differences, but I believe that Samsung will let go of us a few more contacts."
Meng Qian nodded: "Then we can only worry about our Samsung friends running around more."
...
Samsung attaches great importance to battery cooperation, and all the people in charge in China are here.
But Meng Qian suddenly discovered that his company's shortcomings were insufficient: there was no official car.
Obviously, we can no longer use the excuse that the company was not able to arrange it. The previous few times I didn’t find out that it was because the customer brought his own vehicles, such as Warwick in the same city. This time the customer came from Beijing and there were two foreigners. As a result, the company had no cars and the customer came by taking a taxi.
Meng Qian said to his assistant: "Come on official vehicles, write them down."
"Okay, Mr. Meng." Liang Tao quickly remembered.
Koreans came here with sincerity, but because they dealt with domestic cooperation first, they did not put the focus yet, but their demand was engaging, and the shipment volume of 300 million mobile phones was just not easy to bite: the factory's production capacity was insufficient; the second model was too complicated; in the end, Apple's profit was higher.
Samsung and Apple have to be considered later.
As for why not choose together?
Meng Qian once considered it, but their output combined, the capacity demand reached 450 million.
If the low-end is excluded, it is estimated that there will be 400 million.
However, the factory's 3 billion investment only solved the production capacity of 150 million batteries, and it would cost a lot of money to expand it. Meng Qian did not want to rush to sell the shares. Fuguo Energy's future is very broad, and no matter how high the bid is now, it is not as good as the maturity stage in the future.
If you choose one of the two, there will be exclusive authorization. In addition to normal business, you can also get a protection fee. For example, Warwick requires at least 1.5 billion protection fee; as for foreign companies, big dogs must have high requirements. Zong Yan estimates that whether Apple or Samsung, it will definitely cost more than 1.5 billion.
This unit is USD 1.5 billion.
Therefore, with exclusive authorization to cooperate, the company can first obtain a large amount of funds. This money can be used to improve production capacity without any financing or diluting Meng Qian's shares. The remaining funds will be used in the larger market and a broader field of power batteries in the future.
Back to the negotiations, the two sides still tried each other.
But this time the meeting continued to put pressure on Warwick, who had been preparing for cooperation for a long time.
The 300,000 new battery cell phones have been sold out one after another, consumers have received a lot of praise, and the criticism and complaints behind it. Some stocking-ups have even raised the prices to twice the original... All kinds of weird market performances have made them extremely nervous.
Huang Liang received mixed news. The good thing is that Fuguo Energy has sincere cooperation and they also want to help Chinese companies, but the other half is that the enemy's sugar-coated shells are too strong. Whether it is Samsung's huge demand or Apple's non-small offensive, Warwick is not the advantage.
After Huang Liang considered it, he quickly arranged the meeting.
The company's senior executives and directors were present, and Huang Liang expressed his thoughts: "It's no longer time to care about small profits. Even if we lose money at the beginning, we have to seize this advantage. We would rather defeat the enemy by 800 yuan than give up the opportunity to become a giant."
A good opportunity to become a giant!
This goal made the senior executives excited. Warwick has always been ambitious to become a world mobile phone brand giant. Only by entering that circle can he have the strength to challenge Samsung and Apple. If the circle cannot even enter, how can he develop? In the end, the senior executives agreed.
So Warwick decided to end the negotiations that had been delayed for many days.
They agreed to the agreement negotiated by both parties: Warwick invested 1.5 billion yuan, as the only domestic brand that uses the new battery of Fuguo Energy; and ensured that the annual battery demand is at least 50 million yuan. In turn, Warwick also has the power to supervise the production of Fuguo Energy.
Both bosses appeared to sign a contract, and all senior executives were present.
"Happy cooperation!" Meng Qian picked up the prepared champagne and greeted the other party.
"This is a win-win start!" Huang Liang's face was red.
The cooperation did not lose money for both parties. Fuguo Energy received 1.5 billion yuan in cash and also finalized an agreement to have at least 50 million batteries per year within three years after the factory was completed, which means that 8 billion yuan of operating income was securely recorded, and he almost turned into a local tycoon.
Fuguo Energy has a high price for the battery. Even after deducting production costs, various expenses and taxes, its profit margin still accounts for half, which means 8 billion of operating income and may generate 4 billion of profits. This is a huge profit that cannot be imagined in the industry.
Meng Qian roughly did some calculations for himself. When the factory can operate normally, he can get more than 2 billion dividends from this profit, a safe ten-digit number! Of course, the company does not operate like this, and they will spend a lot of money in the future, such as power batteries.
It is actually a bit far away to want to pay dividends. The factory construction will take at least half a year. After the company's business is normal, it will probably take one or two years to recover the payment... And in order to enter the new energy field, the company's expenses will definitely not be small, and hundreds of billions are not necessarily enough.
Meng Qian knew that he could not be proud yet and had to explore more areas.
For Warwick, they have the act of swallowing elephant by snakes, but they don’t regret taking over the big bags and can drive away their opponents. If they let their domestic competitors succeed, they may become second-rate in the future, let alone international giants in the future. Although the purchase volume of 50 million is high, they are monopolized.
Even Huang Liang learned from Meng Qian's personal words that Fuguo Energy prefers cooperation with Apple, which made him feel excited that he was about to kill Samsung... Therefore, when he clinked the glass, his previous depression was wiped out, and both sides treated each other with a smile, just the two brothers were missing.
...
After the cooperation was finalized, Warwick's official website also posted a message.
Regarding the constant rumors in recent days, saying that Warwick could not handle the agreement, that the supply of new batteries was aborted and was about to be replaced by a certain medium, etc., it immediately broke itself. The website claimed that Warwick was already the exclusive nationwide and that no one in the domestic brand could challenge them.
Of course, this does not make people stop talking. Some people said that night that this is a villain. Even if they have the skills and poor user experience, they can only be a second-rate brand... They can smell it ten kilometers away, so naturally not many people care about it, and users are more concerned about the progress of new phones.
Warwick also took advantage of the craze to announce the release plan for flagship models again.
Chapter completed!
