"General Manager Feng, I am so happy to see so many PC manufacturers' representatives queuing up to apologize to us." Liu Chuanzhi said excitedly.
"Not only that. Those few who were the most vocal had lost money. We can donate the money under Lenovo Group's name, and it will increase our reputation." Zong Qingxian laughed.
"After this time, they won't dare to jump around casually anymore. But there are also disadvantages. They will know about our production cost, and they will see the profits of this netbook. "Feng Yu put down his teacup and said.
"This can't be helped. In the past, they thought they will not be able to make money from this and might even lose money. Now, they know we can make money from this, and it will not affect the sales of their other products. They will surely choose to produce netbooks. "Liu Chuanzhi comforted Feng Yu.
"What's there to be afraid of? We are the first to make a name for ourselves. After they design the second batch, we will be selling it." Zong Qingxian replied casually.
"That's right. This is a good idea. It will increase the traffic on our website and let more people know about our brand. Also, the production cost is not high. They will pay us first, and we will start the production later."
"But General Manager Feng, will they imitate us? If they do the same, they will surely snatch away our customers. Why don't we accept the second batch of orders now? Anyway, some of the first batch of users had already started to ship out. "Liu Chuanzhi asked.
Feng Yu shook his head. "No. We will let them place the orders. Think about it. How much time did we spend on developing this netbook? Many of the hardware is specially designed for this netbook. Also, our product's exterior design is outstanding, and they will not be able to imitate us. "
"They are developing this product so fast, and they must be imitating us. We don't know if they will infringe our patents, but do you think there will be no quality issues with this product? They did not even have time to do many of the tests. "
Liu Chuanzhi's eyes brighten up. "That's right. They will not be able to do continuous tests. Also, they are in a hurry, and there will be quality issues. When the time comes, we can use this point to make an issue of it. We can definitely make them anxious. "
Feng Yu snapped his fingers. "That's right. What we need to do is to compare. Also, our factory's production cost is lower, but they may not be able to reach it. If their prices are the same as ours, we can check to see if they have violated the dumping laws. If their prices are higher than ours, we will still have a price advantage. "
"And don't forget, even if they set the same price as us and can guarantee a profit, their profit will definitely not be as high as ours. These hardware orders were all placed by us first. If they want to rush it, they have to pay more. "
"Therefore, we can continue to reduce the price after a period of time. There are two ways to reduce the price. The first is to lower the price of the current model. The second is to maintain the price but upgrade the netbook's performance. For example, the CPU frequency, screen clarity, battery technology, and so on. "
"No matter what they do, we have to be the leader of the netbook industry. It has to be us."
"Hahahaha, General Manager Feng, don't worry. I can guarantee that. The scale of our factory is world-class. Also, we have used many advanced production management methods to ensure our efficiency. It was a wise decision to set up a world-class manufacturing factory in the west. Our labor costs are too low. "Liu Chuanzhi said excitedly.
Feng Yu waved his hand. "Using labor costs as our main means of competition is what a labor-intensive manufacturing company should do. We should be a technology-intensive company. Using our prices to push out our competitors is a way to lower our own profits. This cannot be used in the long run. "
"We still need to be ahead of other competitors in terms of technology. This is the way to go. As for the production cost, we just need to make sure it is not too high. We must not let others think that Lenovo is an exploiter and capitalist. "
"Don't worry, General Manager Feng. Although Lenovo Group's donations are not as high as yours, we are still one of the top companies in China. Although our salary isn't high, it's definitely high in the local area. As time passes, our salaries will surely increase, and we will not cheat our own people. "
"Isn't the world-class electronics manufacturing factory we are cooperating with Tata Group going to start production next year? At that time, the manufacturing focus will gradually shift to India. The labor cost in India is cheaper than here."
Feng Yu nodded after hearing what Liu Chuanzhi said. Hua Xia might be a manufacturing country, but it must not only be a manufacturing country. It must also be a research country.
The value of technology is much higher than labor. The factories in the west will mainly be supplying to Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe in the future, and the factories in India will be the focus.
Hua Xia's industrial park is not only producing PCs. It is also producing mobile phones, MP3 players, and other electronic products. Taihua Holdings had invested in this industrial park. It is a comprehensive consumer electronics industrial park.
In China, this industrial park is only second to Foxconn. But it is much more developed than Foxconn.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Foxconn is the world's top OEM brand, and it is the standard for manufacturing.
But in this life, Foxconn did not get as many orders as Feng Yu in his previous life. For example, Lenovo Group had built their own factories, and they still have some smaller OEM factories under them. That's why Foxconn's development is not as fast as Feng Yu's previous life.
Maybe in less than two years, Foxconn might be overtaken by Tai Hua Electronics in Hua Xia.
Under Taihua Holdings's leadership, Hua Xia's consumer electronics industry started to change from the low technology value in Feng Yu's previous life.
Feng Yu wants to develop, produce, and sell everything. Starting from the raw materials, it will all be his. Tai Hua Crystalline Silicon is the world's top crystalline silicon factory.
Feng Yu's next target is to recycle electronic waste. Japan's recycling technology is the best in the world. This is because they do not have enough resources in China.
Feng Yu had asked Masao Kameda to contact a few powerful companies to acquire these companies. This is to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of these companies in the future.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Japan had used the excuse of helping Hua Xia's friends to "dispose of their waste." After that, they will re-manufacture those goods into semi-finished or finished products and sell them back to Hua Xia.
In this life, Feng Yu felt it is better for Hua Xia to earn the money themselves.
"You all must remember that we are not following the footsteps of Grant. We are not going to set up factories. The price can be weapons, but it cannot be our main weapon. Our main weapon will always be one, and that is technology! "
