Chapter 846 Earn at least $400
...
Silence, the whole office fell into silence, and then Olila stood up and was about to open the door to see the guests, Boss Jia finally spoke!
"20%!" Boss Jia said lightly.
"What?" Olila was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand what the sudden 20% meant.
"I mean, I can reduce the manufacturing cost of Nokia by 20%," Boss Jia said lightly.
"Are you kidding?" Olila looked at Jia Yapeng's expression and seemed to be a fool. "We have compressed the production cost of Nokia to the extreme. No one can reduce the production cost of Nokia by more than 20%!"
"I can!" Boss Jia knocked his finger on the handrail, and then said in the most unquestionable tone. "According to our market research, Nokia's best-selling model this year is the Nokia 2150."
"The Nokia 2150 is $2,459 in the EU market, and the actual production cost is about $1,800 to $1,900. Is the data I mentioned right?" asked Boss Jia, and Olila didn't say anything.
Silence is the default.
"Not bad!" Olila finally said, "But it is not difficult to obtain these data. You Daqian is also a mobile phone. Just conduct a little market research to calculate these data!"
"So if I tell you that I can provide you with a Nokia 2150 for $1,400, do you believe it?" Boss Jia asked with a smile at the end.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Olila said without hesitation. As a manufacturer, if you want to increase your profits, you are just two means of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
Open source is something that everyone has been doing all the time, and it is the most important point.
But throttling is equally important.
If a stable mobile phone is produced at the cheapest price, it has always been a problem that Nokia has been studying tirelessly. When the Nokia 2150 was initially designed, the cost was as high as US$2,500 per unit.
However, after three months of cost savings, the production cost of a 2150 was finally reduced to $1,820 per unit. This is an achievement for Nokia that makes all Nokia people very proud. This is the mobile phone with the highest cost savings in Nokia in history.
That's why Nokia made a pity to guarantee that the cost price of $1,820 per unit would not change at least within a year. But now, Jia Yapeng told him that he could produce a 2,150 for $1,400, saving another $420 in cost. How do you make Olila believe it?
"I never tell lies!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, I can sign an agreement with you. As long as Nokia sells GSM baseband to us at the cost price, then starting from October, I will be able to continue supplying Nokia for $1,400!"
"What, you mean, you supply Nokia at a price of 1,400 meters. Didn't you give me a cost reduction..." Olila found that she seemed to have misunderstood Jia Yapeng's meaning.
"Haha, in fact, Nokia's cost savings are indeed very good. If the factory is opened in Finland, then Daqian will only reach this level at most. But if the factory is opened in China, there will be no problem with the cost of $1,400!" Boss Jia smiled.
"So that's it!" Olila nodded. If the production location of the mobile phone is replaced, it is not surprising that the cost can be continued to be reduced. After all, the wages of workers in China are very low, while the wages of workers in Finland are too high. But Finland is another society with high welfare.
However, even if changing production sites can reduce the cost by $420, Olila still feels very crazy.
"You're sure you can supply the goods stably at $1,400!" Olila couldn't help but ask again.
"I promise that Nokia only needs to provide a few parts and technical drawings such as gsm baseband that our Daqian cannot produce, and all the rest can be handled by our Daqian, and the shipment price is guaranteed to be US$1,400. If it is lower than this price or cannot be supplied on time, we Daqian can compensate Nokia for the losses at the price!"
"These can be written in the contract, and it is safe and sound!" Boss Jia added.
"Then we, Nokia, sells you the GSM communication baseband of Daqian, and we will also give it to you at the cost price!" Olila was silent for a long time and asked this question again. This question made Boss Jia feel relieved. It seemed that the deal was negotiated.
"As long as the profit does not exceed 20% of the cost, it's enough!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "These are two transactions, we have to calculate separately!"
"Then, I won't provide you Daqian with baseband and several other parts according to the cost price, but you Daqian will provide us with the baseband-free part at the price of $1,128. Nokia can install the baseband on its own, and you Daqian doesn't need you Daqian to do it!" Orila thought for a while and felt that if he provided the baseband at the cost price and sold the baseband to Daqian with a profit of 20%, then he might be good at it.
So Nokia decided to make the deal more securely.
"So, Mr. Olila agreed to sell gsm baseband to us!" Boss Jia finally showed a smile on his face.
"The premise is that you must ensure the price to supply us, otherwise I will stop selling basebands to you immediately!" Olila said proudly.
"I understand!" Boss Jia smiled.
Olila laughed as well.
Boss Jia is actually very clear. When Boss Jia told Olila that he could reduce Nokia's production costs by another 20% and save a full $400, he would undoubtedly win the negotiation.
No company can resist the temptation of a 20% reduction in cost, even at this price, it is possible to cultivate a strong competitor.
What if he doesn’t matter, first make the profit in front of him, it’s a huge profit of hundreds of millions of dollars!
To be on the safe side, when Nokia and Daqian finally signed an OEM contract, Nokia only handed over the Nokia 2150 model to Daqian for OEM. It was obviously trying to test the quality of Daqian and see if Daqian can really achieve stable supply.
Boss Jia actually didn't lose money. After Boss Jia signed a cooperation agreement with Nokia, Boss Jia summoned Leng Xuxin Tongshoe as soon as he returned to China.
"I've got you a good deal!" Boss Jia threw his cooperation agreement with Nokia in front of Leng Xuxin. Leng Xuxin looked at the entire contract as fast as possible, and then he became excited and said, "Chairman, you are really amazing. We are still fighting with Nokia. Then you get all the production orders for a mobile phone in Nokia. We can make at least $400 in profits on this mobile phone!"
"That's right, this Olila thought I was giving him money, but in fact, he was the one who gave me money!" Thinking of this, Boss Jia couldn't help laughing.
