Chapter 2369: The Sought-After Steamed Bun

The reason why Zhang Zhanzhao gave up here was half because Xiao Qi was unwilling to cooperate, and the other half was because his think tank was not sure.

But at this time, some other people are starting to get busy.

In the smart electronics industry, the busiest people these days are not the staff of Xiannv Company, nor the six major manufacturers who are busy preparing for R&D and production, but a group of foundry bosses.

The largest foundry kingdom in the world is Huaguo.

Although more than half of the companies are from Baodao, everyone is always a family.

In this generation, the basic pattern of foundries remains unchanged. The largest is still the Red Sea factory, and the largest group of foundries is still the Baodao foundry.

But the details have changed a lot.

At least the second largest foundry has become Star Electronics.

Star Electronics first annexed Friendship United Holdings Company, which is responsible for the production of earphones, polyurethane protective casings, and charger parts for Fairy Company's products.

Today's production scale is based on more than 600 million sets per year. It seems that with these alone, it has reached a medium and large foundry.

Then they also won 60 million orders for Dream Stars and 60 million orders for Dream Snow from Fairy Company, becoming the second largest mobile phone foundry after the Red Sea factory. In terms of output value, they also surpassed other computer and electronic manufacturers. The foundry of products such as products ranks second in the total foundry.

Also because of the prosperity of Star Electronics, Li Xiaochao was ranked eighth in Hong Kong's top ten richest people at the end of last year, and his father Li Chaoren's No. 1 complement each other, a hero.

In the entire ranks of smart electronic products, thanks to Xiao Qi, four of the top ten are cooperative manufacturers of Fairy Company - plus Yinhuang Electronics and Xindian Technology.

Now is the time when smart electronic products are developing rapidly, and everyone wants to rush in and get a share.

Although the profit of the foundry will not be very high, but looking at the experience of the Red Sea Factory and Star Electronics, they have formed a scale. The profit will be greatly increased, and making money is definitely much more profitable than making buttons and lighters.

Of course there are also considerations. The question of the profits these entrusted companies give.

Fairy Company has always been generous, directly giving about 15%-20%, ranking first in the profit margin of all foundries.

As a result, the Red Sea factory directly stopped some OEMs with low profit margins, desperately tilting various resources towards Xiao Qi, and doing a perfect job of the OEM assembly business assigned by Xiao Qi.

Even a company as stubborn as Apple, after it was revealed that it treated the foundry harshly. Gritting his teeth and pinching his nose, he raised to the 10% level, which was a big loss for the stingy Gang Leader Qiao.

With the two giants of Fairy Company and Apple in front of the comparison, no matter how stingy the entrusting company is, it will not be less than about 13%.

It is unrealistic to be less than Apple. It is a big company with a big brand. It is an honor to assemble its products, which can improve the reputation of the foundry. This fame can offset some of the profits.

It is also more unrealistic to have more than Fairy Company. In this world, there is no smart electronics company whose profit is higher than Fairy Company, and there is no boss as rich and generous as Xiao Qi.

So choose a middle ground. It is their helpless reality - you are entrusted by a medium-sized company to do OEM, and you have too many requirements. The quality is required to be good, and the money is less, who will do it for you?

In fact, after inquiries from Guo Taiming and Li Xiaochao, Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo are basically planning to give 13% of the 300 million smartphones prepared by the six major companies.

Originally, the three companies were not stupid and wanted to pay less, but Guo Taiming and Li Xiaochao jointly issued a circular letter. It is strictly stated that if any OEM factory receives orders at a low price, it is their enemy. There will definitely be various suppressions against them in the future.

As soon as the two giants spoke, the Baodao foundries that originally had several companies immediately shrank back.

They were not only afraid of Guo Taiming and Li Xiaochao, they also cared about Xiao Qi behind them, because Xiao Qi had said on many occasions that they hated sweatshops the most, and those who exploited labor costs at low prices.

Guo Taiming and Li Xiaochao wanted to suppress them, but they could still hold on. If Xiao Qi made a direct move, with Xiao Qi's influence in the smart electronics industry, they would not be able to resist any random moves.

Therefore, the 15% foundry fee has become an amount that everyone can accept by default, and then everyone competes on this basis.

After Guo Taiming, Li Xiaochao, Yan Chenglong and others got the news from Xiannv Company, they basically found the bosses of the six major companies in Rongcheng without waiting for the contract to be signed, and set up a relationship and prepared to make a list.

You said BBK, Gionee and Amoi have their own mobile phone production lines?

It doesn't matter.

Lay the foundation first now, and they want to increase the production quantity in the future, and then they see that it is cheap and worry-free on their side, maybe a new order will come?

The three major companies that have been focused on research have exhausted all their skills, such as visiting factories, introducing their own ideas, making various preparations for their orders... and so on.

Even these foundries directly said that as long as the three major companies are willing, let them place their factories wherever they are, and it is convenient to produce and sell them nearby.

To be honest, the smartphone OEM industry, which has been influenced by Xiao Qi for so long, is already a very complete industrialization system. It is the first time for the three major companies to enter this industry, and they are immediately shocked by such perfect and considerate services.

If they didn't have a little city, and hoped to wait and see what conditions other competitors offered, they might have to sign contracts with Guo Taiming, Li Xiaochao and Yan Chenglong on the spot.

...

Before coming out of Zhang Zhanzhao's office, for a moment, Xiao Qi wanted to tell him that there is actually another foundry that can be established in Shuchuan.

That is the foundry factory of Yu Lihong's Xiaomiao Electronics Company.

But Yu Lihong is not Xiao Qi's puppet, he also has his own ideas, Xiao Qi can't rely on himself as a major shareholder, and impose his own ideas on him, so Xiao Qi decided to let Yu Lihong decide this matter. up to you.

Compared with the popularity of these companies, Yu Lihong's Xiaomiao Electronics Company is much more low-key.

In front of Xiao Qi, Yu Lihong drew a big picture of producing 100 million smartphones per year, but even those who have never experienced this industry know that it will be very difficult to ship 100 million smartphones a year. What a difficult thing.

Just because he felt a great responsibility and a lot of pressure, Yu Lihong didn't have any time to be proud at all, and flew directly to all parts of the country with the contract signed with Xiao Qi.

He has worked in Motorola and Nokia for so many years, and he has many connections. He will find his generals in several important electronics companies, and then work with them to develop the ace mobile phone in his mind.

Yes.

Yu Lihong has great ambitions.

He doesn't think that the mobile phones of Fairy Company, Apple and Samsung are good, there is never the best, only better.

Now that he has Fairy Company's powerful hardware and software department as his Olympic aid, he doesn't believe that he is only worthy of being a supporting role in the eyes of others.

Who wants to be a supporting role?

Who doesn't want to gallop the world and make waves?

To do this, it is necessary to fire the first shot, occupy the smartphone market below 2,000 yuan, defeat other competitors of the same level, and then extend upwards to wrestle with major international giants.

If Xiao Qi could hear his current thoughts, his first reaction would be: Damn, isn't this the footsteps of Rebus? How come one of them has the potential to become Rebus?

But even if he knew Yu Lihong's thoughts, Xiao Qi would not take any unpleasant actions.

He hopes that more and better people will enter this market, and everyone will work together to make the entire smart electronics market bigger and better, so that Huaguo will at least have a commendable opportunity in the future competition.

If Yu Lihong succeeds, he will inspire more people to work hard. Are there still fewer smart people in Huaguo?

Even if he is unsuccessful, he will leave experience and lessons for the people behind, and inspire people with dreams to move forward.

As for whether you are worried that your leading position will be replaced?

Frankly speaking, Xiao Qi thinks there will be no problem for at least 50 years.

Because Xiao Qi held the lifeblood of the entire smart electronics industry - APP STORE in his hands in advance.

The relationship between APP STORE and smart electronics manufacturers is like the relationship between theaters and film companies.

No matter how good the movie company's movie is, if you don't have theaters to show it to you, you're a fart.

APP STORE is even more tyrannical. The theaters in the world are divided into countries and sizes, but APP STORE is the application store that dominates the world, and is in charge of the lifeline of more than 90% of the world's APP programs.

Other smartphones, various programs and games are not as rich and excellent as APP STORE, and you don't need to compare to know which one is better.

With such powerful resources, Fairy Company's smart electronic products are of course the most loved by everyone.

Since everyone uses Fairy Company's products because of the APP STORE, it is impossible for Fairy Company's product sales to be so bad.

If one day, a more powerful company appears and replaces Fairy Company as the leader, Xiao Qi doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

There are talents from generation to generation in Jiangshan, each leading for decades.

It is good that Fairy Company has been strong for so long. Even if it is not number one in the future, it is not a bad thing for future generations to maintain a world-class company standard and make steady progress.

There are really too many people who only see the title of the world's number one, but can't see the pressure on the world's number one.

Removing this burden might be a very comfortable thing for the descendants of the Xiao family! (to be continued ~^~)
