Chapter 57 Review of quotations, Mr. Cai of MediaTek comes to visit
"Mr. Young, a total of 1,454 workers in the two factories of Pineapple Company have been recruited. This is the list of rented employee dormitories in the industrial park and the centralized purchase of dormitory supplies. Take a look. ”
Longxing Technology Company Headquarters.
President’s Office.
Yang Minshuo, who is responsible for the factory-side business and is the factory director, handed over the list report and waited for Chen Xing's final review.
“Let it go first.”
Chen Xing nodded.
Yang Minshuo put down the list and report, looked at the pile of documents on the table, and couldn't help but remind him:
"By the way, Mr. Young, the new dormitory building has not installed iron frames for beds yet. The workers are laying floors now. Although it is summer, I would like to ask you to check and confirm as soon as possible.”
“I understand, do you have your own fan?”
Chen Xing asked rhetorically.
The matter of laying the floor is not a big deal, because it will be September soon, and the temperature in eastern Guangdong Province will be over 30 degrees.
Compared to bed frames, they need cooling methods more.
"Yes."
Yang Minshuo nodded and continued: "The dormitory building we rent is newly built. Each dormitory has two hanging fans, as well as air conditioning and Washing machine."
"Air conditioner and washing machine?"
Chen Xing is a little confused. Is Guancheng Industrial Park crazy? Will the usage rate really be high if these two appliances are installed?
Seeming to see Chen Xing’s confusion, Yang Minshuo patiently explained: “Maybe the park is prepared for young people. Young people nowadays are not willing to wash clothes. I have tested the washing machine and washed it once. Clothes only cost three yuan.”
“Three yuan a time, that’s ninety yuan a month.” Chen Xing muttered to himself, and then ordered: “You make an incentive plan every month. The top 100 employees with the longest working hours can receive a laundry subsidy of 90 yuan.”
“I’ll do it now.”
"Yeah."
"Then I'll go out first. If you need anything, call me anytime."
"Go ahead."
After Yang Minshuo left, Chen Xing picked up the The list report he brought was prioritized for price review.
The placement of 1,454 workers requires 181 dormitories based on eight people per dormitory. This also needs to take into account the spare dormitories for adjustment, and at least 200 worker dormitories must be arranged.
A single dormitory is about 20 square meters, which requires 4,000 square meters of living space. Taking into account the public corridors and stair areas, the overall area is expected to be 4,800 square meters. Calculated based on the unit price of about 25 yuan per square meter. The monthly rent for the dormitory building will not exceed 130,000.
The list report quoted 170,000 yuan. Although the price is 40,000 yuan more, it is just a new five-story dormitory building. The unit price certainly cannot be calculated as 25 yuan. Moreover, the total area has reached 5,500 square meters, and the total area is 170,000 yuan. It is reasonable to rent the building.
After confirming that the rent of the dormitory building was reasonable, Chen Xing continued to look down. The second place was the bed frame.
The market price of bed frames for bunk beds is generally 100 yuan each. For an eight-person dormitory, you need to prepare four bed frames. Each dormitory costs 400 yuan. We are purchasing 800 bed frames and the quotation is 75,000 yuan. , this should be a discount given by the supplier.
The first two items are reasonable, which shows that Yang Minshuo can still do things well.
Since four shareholders were kicked out last time, the remaining five shareholders have performed their duties well and have not behaved in the slightest.
As he reviewed each item, time was passing quickly.
A few days in a row.
Longguo Market is as calm as water.
This can’t help but make Chen Xing and even many friends and business colleagues wonder, why has Gaotong Company not taken action yet?
No, Gaotong Company acted extremely quickly back then.
Like the Star Flash fast charging patent, it was stopped in less than a week.
There are also comprehensive sanctions and blockades, and methods such as wooing the three giants of EDA software, MediaTek, and parts manufacturers, all proving that they are aiming to kill.
Weird, strange.
It is not like Gaotong Company’s usual style.
When Chen Xing was wondering that the new round of sanctions had not yet arrived, the company's front desk girl called the internal phone and said:
"President, a man named Cai Mingjie, who claims to be the CEO of MediaTek, is looking for you. ”
Cai Mingjie?
Chen Xing couldn't help but be stunned.
This is a super giant, the absolute king in the era of copycat phones. If we go back five years, in this period of time in 2009, MediaTek's chip market share accounted for 90%, and all knockoff phones used their chips.
But as the saying goes.
Success is Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He.
MediaTek succeeds in copycat phones and fails in copycat phones. Because of its high degree of integration with copycat phones, their chips are also downgraded.
Of course.
This also has a lot to do with themselves.
Because after making money, MediaTek executives made a mistake.
They did not judge the trend of the times and thought that there would still be a long time for counterfeit phones to make money, so they did not rush to improve their scientific research strength and focus on chip development, but continued to make money by supplying chips for counterfeit phones. Gold dividends.
By the time MediaTek’s top management reacted, it was already 2013. Gaotong had fully overtaken the former king, and copycat phones were also shuffled by smart phones.
Even though Cai Mingjie later invested tens of billions, he was still unable to catch up with Gaotong Company and was completely tied to copycat phones and low-end chips.
When the CEO of MediaTek came to visit, it was impossible for Chen Xing to say goodbye. After all, he was a former giant in the chip field.
"Let him come up."
"Okay CEO."
After a while.
Cai Mingjie, who is sixty-four years old, has a stooped figure and wrinkles on his cheeks, was brought to the office.
"Mr. Cai, how are you? How are you?"
Chen Xing took the initiative to say hello.
Cai Mingjie sighed, his eyes full of regret and said: "My health is fine, but my eyes are not working well, and my vision is blurry. Sometimes they often lead me in the wrong direction."
There was something in his words, and Chen Xing could naturally hear it. He went to the negotiation area and said, "Please sit down. I happen to have some eye-catching tea here."
"Then let me try it."
Cai Ming Jie came to the negotiation area and sat down.
While Chen Xing was making tea, he did not intend to be too polite: "Mr. Cai has traveled thousands of miles to visit, so he doesn't just want to have a drink of tea, right?"
"Alas!"
Cai Mingjie sighed again and said bluntly: "Of course not. I came to the inland this time specifically to apologize to Mr. Chen."
"Oh?"
Chen Xing showed a look of surprise and asked: "Boss Cai and I apologize? What apology?"
"It was about the lack of timely supply of processor chips. I have found out that it was caused by collusion between shareholders. "It has nothing to do with me personally, but since the company did it, I have to come and apologize to Mr. Chen."
Cai Mingjie wanted to pluck himself out so that he could clear his name for the company.
Chen Xing did not accept this. When the MediaTek MT6592 processor was found to be a fake eight-core processor, he did not ask for any compensation and still steadily signed a supply order with MediaTek.
What can be exchanged for it?
Stop supply! Cut off contact! Evaporated!
If we continue to cooperate with a company that has no quality control and loves backstabbing, there is no guarantee that one day we will be backstabbed again.
"Mr. Cai, I believe it is not your fault, but Longxing Technology is still a small company. The chip business has cooperated with Korean Star Group, and the demand is saturated. You see..."
Saturated, no need anymore, Chen Xing’s words are clearly rejecting.
Cai Mingjie smiled bitterly and said, "Is there really no chance? The supply price can still be negotiated."
In the current Longguo mobile phone market, MediaTek processors are no longer used by mobile phone manufacturers, and the global market share is still shrinking.
He was really unwilling to lose the cake of Longguo Market.
At the same time, he also wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he follow Gaotong Company to sanction Longxing Technology in such a obsessed way at that time, but he was picked off by Han Xing Group.
The current situation in Longguo is that Gaotong is safe and sound, Hanxing Group has gained a foothold with Longxing Technology, and MediaTek chips are completely unused by manufacturers.
The group played a game, and only he was injured.
Chen Xing's attitude was still firm, and he handed him a cup of tea and said: "A broken mirror cannot be reunited. Mr. Cai should find another place."
