Chapter 127 Is it going to end just after it begins? (Please subscribe)
Langbo's reaction was within Chen Xiao's expectation.
This company is relatively petty to begin with, otherwise it would not have been able to start off as the king (it has a USB storage patent), but in the end it was not as good as others in producing U disks, and it relied on patents to survive.
But this matter is easy to handle. After all, what Chen Xiao wants to buy is not a USB flash drive but a flash memory. If Netac cannot do it, he will go to an overseas company.
But how can he get online with overseas companies? Chen Xiao suddenly thought of someone!
The other is lithium batteries.
Lithium batteries are really difficult to deal with.
The problem is still technical barriers.
The technology is in the hands of a few people, and it is not because Sony is unwilling to sell it. But if Chen Xiao were the person in charge of Sony, he would not sell the product to a company that competes with him.
At that time, Shanxing couldn't get Suoni's lithium batteries, so Shanxing Chemical asked Shanxing Chemical to publicize lithium battery technology.
Chen Xiao was a little speechless. This was really a reckless era. Don't die just after Lingyue was born. Twenty years later, a certain technology self-media evaluated Xia Guo's most regrettable company in recent years, and Lingyue might be on the list.
What to do with the battery?
If lithium batteries are not used but nickel-chromium batteries are used, the size of Lingyue will definitely be sacrificed.
The lightweight size is one of Lingyue's main sales gimmicks, and this point cannot be sacrificed.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao decided to ask Zhou Linghua to find Sony's lithium batteries, whether he found an intermediary or found a way.
Even if the current profits are a little lower, we still need to build a good brand.
This scene made Chen Xiao feel familiar.
The girl sitting opposite Chen Xiao watched Chen Xiao borrow a book just now, then closed it, and then looked around again. She frowned, thinking that Chen Xiao came to the library to fish for girls.
When the girl was about to remind Chen Xiao not to affect her reading, Chen Xiao left his seat, and he never looked at the girl from beginning to end.
This made the girl feel a little disappointed.
Don't even look at yourself?
At this moment, Chen Xiao said: "Classmate, I'm sorry."
The girl's eyebrows widened and she was ready to say something.
Chen Xiao: "You pressed my library card. Please move the book. Thank you."
girl:"!
…”
The boys' dormitory does not have internet access, which is very inconvenient.
Chen Xiao went to the school's computer room and found the Alibaba website.
At this time, Ali had just received more than 20 million US dollars in financing from SoftBank and was at the peak of his powers.
Focus on the global trade wholesale market.
This is similar to a virtual commodity distribution base. Those who trade here are not necessarily merchants and customers, but also many middlemen.
These middlemen rely on their background of working or studying overseas (the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea) to put overseas products on the website. If domestic customers need it, they will act as second-tier dealers, purchasing overseas products and then shipping them.
Go inland.
This is the earliest batch of online trading brokers. Although it may make people feel a little disgusted (earning the price difference), it is indeed useful.
Chen Xiao browsed Alibaba, hoping to find a flash memory supplier.
Sure enough! Yes!
Someone posted Toshiba's flash memory information on the website.
As the developer of flash memory, Toshiba is also the first flash memory factory in the world. At present, its flash memory business is mainly targeted at the US, Toyo, and South Korean markets.
Market in Xia Kingdom?
Sorry, Xia Guo is still extremely backward for Toshiba. Toshiba's home appliances have a market in Xia Guo, but flash memory does not.
As soon as he chatted with the other party, Chen Xiao knew that the other party was a Chinese from Japan. This family's shop also had various mechanical equipment parts unique to Japan.
As far as flash memory is concerned, Toyo's prices are much cheaper than Netac's.
This is really not an issue of labor costs, but of mass production process.
Chen Xiao immediately negotiated a purchase plan for 10,000 pieces of flash memory with the other party, and purchased 2,000 pieces in batches.
Because of the platform guarantee, Chen Xiao was very relieved and asked Wang Xiang to transfer the money, and the money would be included in the cost.
The other party did not expect Chen Xiao to be so refreshing. Logically speaking, Alibaba is a new thing. Many people will ask a lot of questions when purchasing goods to confirm the authenticity of the goods again and again.
But Chen Xiao was different. He just understood the specifications and price of the product, cut the price, and then purchased it directly.
Flash memory is something that no one can counterfeit in this era. If you can produce it, you will have it, but if you can’t, you won’t have it. It’s not like fake flash memory with poor quality becoming rampant a few years later.
Moreover, Dongzhi now uses SLC particles instead of TLC particles commonly used in later generations.
SLC particles are more expensive, but the reading speed will be faster. Conversely, TLC particles can be cheaper, but the reading speed will be slower.
It’s not that Dongzhi doesn’t want to use TLC particles, but the current technology still doesn’t meet this requirement.
Chen Xiao felt relieved now that the flash memory matter was settled.
There is no good way to deal with the lithium battery. The only way is to let Zhou Linghua find a middleman to buy it from Sony for other reasons.
Zhou Linghua was very resistant. Calculated this way, profits would shrink further.
Chen Xiao insisted on his opinion: "Mr. Zhou, if you think the risk is too great, we can change the way of cooperation."
"All costs are borne by us, and we adopt the OEM cooperation model."
Chen Xiao was very determined in negotiations.
High risks come with high returns. Zhou Linghua would definitely not be willing to do it if he were to only do OEM work, so he bit the bullet and agreed.
Even if you have to pay some costs, it is worth it. Who says that other people's current technology is leading?
Zhou Linghua personally went to Yangcheng and finally purchased a batch of Sony lithium batteries through other methods under the arrangement of a friend from the previous equipment factory.
The cost increased by more than 30%, but the closed loop of the production chain was finally completed.
Zhou Linghua returned to Jiangzhou in a hurry to continue supervising production matters.
This time, people from Changtian Company got to see Chen Xiao's efficiency and speed in doing things.
While Netac was still debating whether to open up a new business of producing MP3 by itself or continue to cooperate with Lingyue, Changtian Technology had made all preparations.
Gao Miao called Chen Xiao.
I have purchased some raw materials according to Chen Xiao's requirements, but I still encountered some problems during the experiment, so I asked Chen Xiao to help.
Materials and Chemistry Laboratory.
There are not many people left in Gao Miao's team. After everyone decided to leave last time, they changed the research team and the research topic the next day.
After all, no one believes that Chen Xiao really knows anything about lithium batteries.
Gao Miao was still very confused, "I don't even know where to start."
