"Chen Yu, I forgot to tell you something. Boss Zhang was with me just now. He heard about your Super TV and wants to cooperate with you. "
Receiving Miss Dong's reply, Chen Yu was a little surprised. "Boss Zhang? The Boss Zhang of Heil?"
"Who else could it be?"
"How does he want to cooperate with us?"
Chen Yu asked curiously, "Does their Heil store also want to sell our Super TV?"
Haier could be said to be the best when it came to the distribution channels in the country.
They had all kinds of products, and they were very strong in terms of both variety and brand.
Although some of their products were not very good, many people liked Heil because of the brand.
Therefore.
In terms of home appliances, Heil had the most home appliances specialty stores in China, and it was also the strongest one.
Heil was also one of the giants of home appliance chains.
However, Heil only sold Heil products and would not sell other brands.
Miss Dong's reply made Chen Yu very confused.
"Haha, you are right."
Miss Dong laughed and said, "Boss Zhang thinks so."
"President Dong, don't joke around. They will never sell our Super TV."
Chen Yu shook his head.
Although Miss Dong's reply could not be a joke, Chen Yu still could not believe it.
"Who said that? How about I ask Boss Zhang to talk to you?"
Miss Dong gave the phone to Zhang Ruiming. "Boss Zhang, I can't help you. The little guy doesn't believe it. You should talk to him."
Zhang Ruiming laughed and did not mind. He took the phone and said, "Boss Chen, this is Zhang Ruiming."
"So it's really Boss Zhang."
Chen Yu said, "It's too polite to call me Boss Chen. Just call me Chen Yu like Mr. Dong. But Boss Zhang, President Dong wasn't joking with me just now, right? "
"Of course not."
Zhang Ruiming shook his head. "We do want to sell super TVs in Heil stores."
"Really?"
Chen Yu had no choice but to believe Zhang Ruiming's words.
Although Chen Yu believed it, Chen Yu did not believe that a pie would fall from the sky.
Chen Yu asked Miss Dong for help because Huanyu Technologies's business did not conflict with Gree's for the time being.
One was selling air conditioners, and the other was selling televisions. They were not competitors.
But it was different with Heil.
Heil had attended the China Television Product Exhibition.
It was obvious that Haier placed great importance on television.
Now that they said they wanted to sell super TVs, it must not be so simple.
"Boss Zhang, you must have a condition."
"Hahaha, Boss Chen is wise."
Zhang Ruiming nodded. "We only have one condition. We want your super TVs to be branded with Heil's brand."
"You mean PDA?"
"You can say that."
At this moment, Chen Yu understood.
It was impossible for Heil to sell super TVs with Huanyu's brand.
But it was not impossible to put Heil's brand on them.
In fact, although Heil had a series of products, not all of them were produced by themselves.
Except for Heil for refrigerators and washing machines, the other Heil products were not very good.
Many of the products were under Haier's private label.
Including the televisions they sold before.
Including the Heil brand computers on the market.
Otherwise, no matter how good Heil was at fighting, it was impossible for them to manufacture all the home appliances.
"OEM is fine, but the exterior must be redesigned."
"That's not a problem."
Zhang Ruiming nodded.
In fact, he did not want to have the same appearance as Huanyu Technologies's super TVs.
Huanyu Technologies's super TVs were very powerful now.
He was afraid that even if they put Heil's brand on them, others would think that it was not Heil's.
If ordinary people knew that it was a OEM product, how could they survive?
Some people would say that only professionals knew.
So what if they knew?
There were not many professionals.
They sold to the public. It was fine as long as most people did not know.
Of course, it was fine even if others knew.
Many people who bought Heil's brand did not necessarily think that Heil's products were good. They thought that Heil's service was good.
Even if the products were average, Heil's service could make up for it.
This was also why Heil dared to produce hundreds of home appliances.
"In addition, Heil can't get other companies to do OEM for the next five years."
Since it was a OEM product, Huanyu Technologies would do the OEM for them.
However, the technology behind electronic products was not very advanced.
Chen Yu also had to prevent Heil from becoming popular and leaving Huanyu Technologies behind.
That was why he agreed on five years.
As for whether Heil would get other companies to do the OEM or do it themselves, that was their business.
With these five years, Chen Yu was confident that he had an absolute advantage in the TV industry.
"No problem. Your OEM standards are very high. Even if you ask me to find other companies in five years, I will not leave."
Zhang Ruiming had no problem with this and agreed.
"In that case, Boss Zhang, I look forward to working with you."
"I look forward to working with you."
After the phone call, Chen Yu clenched his fists.
With Heil's support, he predicted that the promotion of LCD in the future would be accelerated by at least three years.
Of course, there were also huge benefits for Huanyu Technologies to do OEM for Heil.
First, it would increase production efficiency and profits.
Second, with Heil's support, it would be more beneficial for the promotion of the Super TV.
This was because it was very difficult to do well in the market alone.
If it could be done well, someone would have to follow up and imitate it.
Heil's OEM product was actually another kind of imitation.
Third, this would further expand the development of LCD technology and eliminate plasma technology.
With so many benefits, Chen Yu could not refuse.
…
Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.
Last week, it was announced that Huanyu Technology's Super TV had sold 10800 units that week.
Samsung was silent.
Panasonic was also silent.
It was not that they wanted to be silent, but the difference in sales was too big. They did not know how to go head-to-head with Huanyu Technologies.
Samsung might be better off.
After all, Huanyu Technologies' Super TV also used Samsung's large screen.
The better the Super TV sold, the better it was for Samsung.
If Samsung did not worry about their products not being able to sell.
But Panasonic almost vomited blood.
Plasma technology itself was better than LCD technology, and their production costs were also much higher than LCD technology.
This time, their 1.5 generation plasma TV was priced at 19000 RMB, and this was after they had greatly reduced the price.
To be honest, Panasonic's plasma TV was the one that was losing money with every unit sold.
But even so, Panasonic's plasma TV was completely outclassed by Huanyu Technologies' Super TV.
This situation made Panasonic a little confused.
They really found it hard to believe.
In Japan, in the European and American markets, they could conquer their competitors.
But in China, why couldn't they?
…
"Boss Lee, the current situation is not that bad for Samsung."
"Oh?"
Lee Jae-yong looked at Jin Zhizhong.
"Boss Lee, think about it. Huanyu Technologies' Super TV is selling very well. But at the end of the day, Huanyu Technologies' screens are still provided by us. They are also part of our LCD team. The better their Super TV is selling, the better it is for our LCD technology. "
"Zhizhong, according to what you said, the better Huanyu Technologies' Super TV is selling, the happier we should be, right?"
"Well, theoretically, that should be the case."
Jin Zhizhong was a little embarrassed.
Of course, this required a certain amount of Ah Q spirit.
The higher the Ah Q spirit, the greater the joy in the heart.
But how could Jin Zhizhong not know?
He was just comforting Lee Jae-yong.
"Are the sales for this week out?"
Lee Jae-yong snorted.
He did not have the so-called Ah Q spirit, and he did not know what it was.
But he did not like this way of comforting himself.
"It should be out. Let me check."
"Boss Lee, Huanyu Technologies' Super TV sales should drop this week."
Regarding this point, Jin Zhizhong could still predict.
This week.
Not only did Samsung and Panasonic not do much promotion, but neither did Huanyu Technologies.
Why were the three companies so synchronized?
That was not something that had been discussed.
That was all because of money.
Such intense publicity in the first week would cost a lot of money.
The high-end TV industry was not profitable to begin with. Now that the market was still in its infancy, how could they promote it every day?
Since that was the case, then the Super TV sales that had skyrocketed because of Huanyu's shopping mall should drop this week.
Maybe he could sell more than Samsung and Panasonic.
But even if it was a lot, it shouldn't be too much.
"Let me check."
Jin Zhizhong turned on his computer and checked the sales.
There was no need to check his own sales.
He already knew.
Samsung's 60-inch LCD TV sales this week were 2,000 units.
It could not be helped. It had indeed dropped from the previous week.
However, Panasonic's Plasma had dropped even more. There were only 1,000 units left.
As for Huanyu Technologies' Super TV.
"Damn …"
He stared at the figures on Huanyu Technologies' Super TV.
Jin Zhizhong opened his mouth in his heart.
He did not know how to report this to Lee Jae-yong.
"Zhizhong, what are you doing?"
"No, nothing."
"Have you checked the figures?"
"Yes."
"How many units did Panasonic sell?"
"1,000 units."
"What about Huanyu Technologies' Super TV?"
"Two, two …"
"2,000?"
Lee Jae-yong was delighted.
If Huanyu Technologies' Super TV also sold 2,000 units, then Samsung would not have any pressure.
"It's not 2,000."
Jin Zhizhong shook his head.
"It's okay. 2,000 something?"
Whether it was 2,000 or 2,000 something, it was just a few hundred more than Samsung.
"It's not 2,000 something either."
"Then how much?"
"20,000."
Yes.
After joining Huanyu's and Gree's stores, Huanyu Technologies' Super TV sold 20,000 units that week.
"Boss Lee, what's wrong with you?"
"Boss Lee …"
Seeing that Lee Jae-yong was motionless, Jin Zhizhong was a little flustered.
"Boss Lee, it's nothing. I've studied the entire industry before. The better the sales of Huanyu Technologies' Super TV, the better it is for Samsung. Moreover, it's good that we're in second place, really … "
At this time, Ah Q's spirit was needed.
Otherwise, without this spirit, Jin Zhizhong was really afraid that Lee Jae-yong would take things too hard.
