Top of the big era
Chapter 2710 A symbolic gift
When Xiaomi started its business in the early days, the supply chain was a big dilemma. It's okay for those in China, with Zhou Buqi helping to speak up and Lei Jun's reputation in the industry.
However, some core components need to be provided by foreign supply chain manufacturers, which is more troublesome.
People simply look down on a start-up like Xiaomi.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand is of course the best. But the industry logic of the supply chain has never been like this. It is to get the goods first and then pay for it after the phone is sold.
If Xiaomi phones are not sold, how will the supply chain manufacturers pursue the accounts?
Lei Jun had no choice but to run to Japan for help.
It happened to be a time when the nuclear power plant was leaking, Japan's tourism industry was avalanche, and tourists were fleeing. Lei Jun ran there with his team despite the risk of nuclear radiation.
This spirit moved the Japanese, and they got the goods.
In other words, many core parts in Xiaomi's supply chain are provided by Japanese companies. The supply accessories provided by Japanese companies are of course very good, but the prices are relatively expensive.
Now that Xiaomi has developed, has a market, and established a brand, it is time to re-plan the supply chain and reduce costs.
Sony batteries are too expensive.
It is suitable to change to LG batteries.
As for domestic batteries, Xiaomi may not dare to use them with its technology.
The quality of the battery core is mainly reflected in the attenuation of the battery, the life of the battery and the stability of the battery. With good battery cells, the battery can be charged and discharged more times and more stably.
However, this is at the hardware level.
There is also battery management technology at the software level.
For example, when charging, if the battery overheats, the charging speed must be reduced to protect the battery; for example, when charging while playing with a mobile phone, excellent battery management technology can better protect the battery.
What should I do if the technology at the software level is not enough?
Then the only problem is that the technology is not enough, the hardware is improvised, and better battery core materials are selected.
Asda can use domestically produced batteries because it has invested many years in research and development and its battery management level is pretty good. In particular, the technical management of charging while playing with mobile phones can be said to be the best in the world, and the battery protection efficiency is better than that of iPhone and Samsung.
Not so with Xiaomi.
If domestically produced batteries are used and the technology at the software level is not enough, it might be like the fatal technical error that once occurred in Samsung mobile phones later - spontaneous combustion or even explosion.
For Xiaomi, it is very suitable to change the battery supplier from Sony to LG. (This is also the case in reality)
Zhou Buqi can coordinate and help LG secure this order from Xiaomi. When it comes to cooperation, you can't just let the other party give you gifts or show your goodwill first every time.
This time, he planned to send millet there first.
Zhou Buqi wanted to promote cooperation, but unexpectedly, LG's furniture also expressed their sincerity.
That night, people from Gu's family contacted Boss Zhou's secretary and said that they were inviting him to dinner that night and wanted to ask Boss Zhou for a favor.
The person who answered the phone was Gu Zanli, who had little experience. When she heard this, she was a little dissatisfied.
What's going on with the people at LG?
This is not familiar!
Just met once.
It's late at night, and you're still anxiously trying to ask my boss to go out and help... You're too shameless, aren't you? These Koreans don’t feel very reliable!
However, the other party's next words made Gu Zanli slightly stunned.
The other party told her that LG's investment department had invested in several entertainment companies, one of which was called Source Music, which was currently preparing a girl group and would receive a lot of resources. However, it is not easy to select a few girls to debut among dozens of trainees, so I asked Boss Zhou to come over to appreciate them and help with the selection.
Gu Zanli suddenly realized.
Oh my god!
Familiar taste!
Big Boss Zhou recently cooperated with SK Hynix. SK also asked Big Boss for help. He said that one of its affiliated entertainment companies called JYP wanted to launch a girl group in the near future, but they encountered some difficulties in selecting people.
Who should I choose?
I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to come over and give me some advice.
Is this a request for help?
It’s obviously just giving gifts and beauties to the big boss!
It’s just the same routine!
Guzanli didn't dare to decide on this matter without authorization, so she knocked on the study door.
Hearing "Come in" and opening the door, I saw Mr. Xu's sister, a decent woman named Xu Yuting, standing up from Boss Zhou's lap, blushing and tidying up her underwear and suspenders with a little embarrassment. sleeve.
Zhou Buqi casually wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Guzanli pretended not to see anything, "LG's family called and said they wanted you to come over and help. One of their entertainment companies is launching a girl group, and they want you to come over and pick someone."
"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Come again?"
Guzanli pursed her lips and said happily, "Well, it's exactly the same as the one at SK."
The two of them were speaking in Chinese, and Xu Yuting could understand it even from the side, sighing secretly in her heart. I feel that business is really not easy, socializing and beauty are almost indistinguishable. Especially when you reach the level of Mr. Zhou, it is meaningless to give money. The biggest way to build friendship is to give beautiful women.
It’s really not easy for Mr. Zhou to do business!
When someone comes to give you a gift, you refuse it once or twice. You can’t refuse it every time, right? Then wouldn’t this friendship be left in the cold? But once you receive the gift... can your body not be empty?
We really can't blame Mr. Zhou for being too fond of beauty.
It's really up to him to handle the welcome and delivery in the business world.
This time, Xu Yuting understood Mr. Zhou more and more.
I feel that while I am still here, I should help Mr. Zhou recuperate as much as possible this month... Xu Yuting has a gentle and kind personality. I heard that Mr. Zhou cooperates with Hynix to create tens of thousands of domestic products. The jobs are very impressive. Taking good care of such a man is also his due.
Even if he doesn't pay him, he should be well nourished.
Zhou Buqi reached out, patted Xu Yuting's butt, and said, "Sister Yuting, thank you for your hard work. It's almost time for dinner. Go and prepare with them."
Xu Yuting nodded gently and said in a low voice: "After dinner is finished, I will come over to feed you...come to you."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "No need to work so hard."
Xu Yuting shook her head and said solemnly, "This is what I should do."
Zhou Buqi said kindly: "How about you come to my room at night, and I can take the time to pamper you once, and help you moisturize and replenish your skin. I won't always take advantage of you."
"No... no need..." Xu Yuting waved her hands repeatedly, blushing, "I don't need it, you should rest more."
After saying that, he covered his face and ran out of the study in embarrassment.
Zhou Buqi looked at Gu Zanli who was snickering, stretched and hummed: "LG's Gu family is also a shareholder and director of Hynix, so he should have learned experience from SK's Cui family. "
Gu Zanli smiled and said: "I guess so. We have reached a cooperation with Hynix, but failed to promote cooperation with LG. The Gu family must feel that they have not done a good job in some aspects and are copying the others."
Zhou Buqi said: "I'm not free!"
According to the original plan, he would visit South Korea for three or four days to see the young and beautiful female trainees who had not debuted in South Korea, and then go to the United States.
But not now, the itinerary has been modified.
He wanted to return to China quickly and go to Liangxi City to investigate and understand the situation in order to promote Hynix's investment there. In addition, I have to meet Lei Jun and say hello.
Gu Zanli asked tentatively: "Are you still accepting gifts?"
Zhou Buqi hesitated slightly and frowned, "Originally, the cooperation with LG was not promoted. The other party came to give gifts. If they rejected it again... wouldn't it be bad?"
Guzanli nodded, "Well, I feel a little cold too."
Zhou Buqi said: "Then agree! I don't have time. You, Ning Lu, Zhao Li Muge, and Zhang Zetian will stay here these two days to help me check on the situation."
Guzanli held out four fingers, "There are four!"
"Um?"
"There are four girl groups that are potentially forming a group. There is one from S/M Entertainment and one from JYP Entertainment. Mr. Seo's girl group reality show is also going to launch a girl group with several girls. They are all trainees signed by Korean agencies. This time, the Source Music mentioned by LG will launch another one."
"Oh, that's quite a lot." Zhou Buqi nodded and waved his hand casually, "Just go for a walk and take a look around. Are we really going to pick and choose? The production of a girl group Everyone has a set plan, and only those who meet the standards can make their debut. Let’s not give random instructions, don’t act like a beauty pageant, it’s not good. By the way, Xu Baihui will stay, right?"
Gu Zanli smiled sweetly, "Yes."
Zhou Buqi felt relieved, "That's fine, let her take you around and receive some symbolic gifts. I've never been interested in giving gifts to beauties!"
