Chapter 2952: Because It Is a Bull, It Is a Bull

When the sky was still gray, Feng Yiping and Lao Ma had arrived at the office on time. They seemed to have been waiting for a while. As soon as the call was connected, Cook immediately said, "Feng, thank you for talking to me at this time. "

"You're welcome Tim, please pass on my regards to Steve," Feng Yiping said.

Feng Yiping did not ask Jobs about his physical condition because he knew very well, and even if he asked such a question, Cook and others would not tell him.

"I will, thank you Feng,"

Lao Ma next to him was a little sad when he heard this. A strong man like Steve Jobs, but now...

well!

"Steve originally wanted to call you in person yesterday, but then he saw that you were probably very busy, so he didn't bother," Cook said.

Lao Ma looked at Feng Yiping like, "What do you think? Now I have an opinion."

Feng Yiping seemed not to notice his emotions, "I'm also very busy today,"

Yes, if Steve Jobs calls me directly, I may answer the call. The problem is, you are not Steve Jobs.

There was a small pause on the other side, and Cook immediately said, "In that case, Feng, I'll just say it straight."

"you say,"

Lao Ma gave Feng Yiping a thumbs up. I'm afraid you are the only one who can talk to Steve Jobs's successor like this.

Feng Yiping didn't take his compliments seriously at all.

what is this? Not to mention Cook, but Jobs. I yelled at him until he lost his temper, not even two or three times.

The key is that many times, his wife and even children are on my side.

"Feng, I heard that your memory and flash memory will also be shipped in large quantities, right?"

"Yes Tim, we are working hard to produce. You know how huge the demand for this is from Chinese smartphone manufacturers,"

"So, in terms of quality, of course, I believe very much in the quality of the products produced by Feng's company. I mean, after all, you have just entered this field..."

Feng Yiping interrupted him, "You should have the most say in this regard. After all, iPhone is the first user of our optical company's products. It was you who personally promoted our panels to become Apple's main supplier."

That was also our first time getting involved in the optical field. Isn’t the quality of our products still great?

Lao Ma blinked, am I unable to keep up with the situation?

So this is how all big business deals should be discussed?

"Hehehe," Cook smiled, "Yes, your chip will definitely look like..."

"Our chips adopt the most advanced technology and process technology. Our workers started training when the foundation of the factory was laid. All the backbones went to Qimonda's German factory for training. Now their Qimonda’s senior workers were also impressed by its operational capabilities.”

"So even though it has just been put into production, our chip factory has repeatedly refreshed the yield rate in related fields. Test reports from third-party testing agencies show that the stability and reliability of our products are second to none among similar products..."

"Of course, this kind of thing is not news in China's manufacturing industry,"

Cook does have a very objective understanding of this point.

When we master the core technology in a certain industry, our products will definitely become the overlord of that industry.

There are many examples in this regard.

"Yes, Feng, I completely believe this," Cook, who was still a little emotional at the beginning, seems to have corrected his attitude now, "It's just that, you know, for smartphones, the chip has a greater impact than the panel. …”

"Tim, as chip suppliers, we know this better than you do,"

Cook is rude, and Feng Yiping is even ruder.

"What do you want to say," he asked.

There was a slight pause over there. Since you must have guessed my intention, are you still not allowed to express a little concern?

I am a quasi-user, and I am a quasi-user with great needs.

"As you know Feng, Toshiba is a key supplier in our supporting system, but now, due to the earthquake, Toshiba's supply has some problems,"

Feng Yiping believes that there should be no problems with Toshiba’s supply to Apple.

Affected by the 311 earthquake, Toshiba's production had some problems, but most of its production capacity is still there, and Apple is obviously one of the customers that Toshiba must fully guarantee its supply.

Lao Ma had already written a few words on the tablet, "Toshiba increases prices,"

Yes, Feng Yiping also believes that this is the main reason.

"I'm sorry," Feng Yiping said.

"The iPad 2, which we just launched at the beginning of the month, will be affected to a certain extent because its flash memory mainly comes from Toshiba,"

Feng Yiping also knew this.

iPad 2 was officially launched in the United States on March 11. On the morning of that day, they completed the disassembly in the United States and fully grasped the main supplier list of various components of iPad 2.

"Although Toshiba has promised us that it will definitely meet all our needs, according to the situation we have learned, the demand for iPad2 will be very huge. In order to ensure that the global supply plan by the end of the month is not affected, we must find another company Flash Memory Supplier,"

"You mean, us?" Feng Yiping asked.

Can't you just have some fun?

"Yes, Feng, we believe that Jiaqiang's flash memory is qualified to join our supporting system," Cook had to say directly.

"Then you move quickly," Feng Yiping said. "You know, our current production capacity is limited, and the demand from Chinese smartphone manufacturers is huge. Our sales staff are currently negotiating contracts with various companies that come to us. ,"

Cook's tone showed a little urgency, "Feng, you know our process..."

"Of course I know that we are honored to be a potential supplier to Apple. However, I cannot guarantee now that if we follow your process, we will still be able to supply your needs by then,"

Lao Ma lowered his head and gave a thumbs up again. He was so arrogant towards Apple who came to him, and he would obey you even if he didn't even try to help you!

Feng Yiping also had some small intentions. When Jiaqiang's panels were added to Apple's supply chain system, the process was not skipped. There was no way around it. Apple was so good at that time!

But now, in the chip field, it's my turn to be awesome.

"Feng, can we sign a supply agreement as soon as possible first," Cook said, "Also, the supply price..."

"Tim, you know our style of doing things, and you should have heard the relevant news. We supply at a fair price and will not give you an increase of 10% or more,"

The latest news today is that flash memory has increased by 15%. It seems that it is not difficult to increase by 20%.

"No, of course they supply us at the original price," Cook said immediately.

Feng Yiping was noncommittal about this. Of course you can say that you have the biggest apple face.

But in that case, why are you so eager to find us?

Chip companies, of course, have to cherish big customers like Apple, but on the other hand, the chip industry can also be said to be a seller's market. For example, before Jiaqiang started production, the two largest suppliers, Samsung and Toshiba, had a monopoly. Market share exceeds 90%.

Even a big customer like Apple doesn't have much choice. Therefore, if Toshiba says it wants to raise prices, the most Apple can do is make a counteroffer and supply it at the original price?

Absolutely impossible!

"We all know that China's human resource costs are much lower than those of other chip-producing countries," he said.

Feng Yiping sighed. People's hearts are indeed not satisfied. "Different industries have different situations. Compared with the huge hardware investment in the chip industry, human resources do not have much impact on the total cost."

Of course, this is also an excuse. How could it have no impact? It’s just not as significant as other industries.

He changed the subject and asked another question, "Where is your memory? Have you ever considered finding an alternative supplier?"

Cook hesitated, "In this regard, Feng, we..."

"Tim, I'll be blunt," Feng Yiping said, "I know that because of the Android issue, the relationship between our two families will inevitably be somewhat antagonistic, but in business, as a world-class supply chain management expert and Cost control expert, do you think the conflict between Jiasheng and you is greater when it comes to smartphones, or the conflict between Samsung and you?”

"Do you think that Jiasheng will make small moves in related supplies in the future for competitive reasons?"

"There is another news, you should have heard it, we are now a high-end photolithography machine manufacturer and one of the shareholders of ASML in the Netherlands,"

"What does this mean? It means that even they recognize that we will inevitably become the leader in the chip industry,"

"Are you still refusing to cooperate with us because of these emotional factors?"

"In short, if you can treat these things objectively, we warmly welcome you, but please do it as soon as possible,"

Lao Ma couldn't complain at this time, so he opened his eyes and opened his eyes. Hey!
