Chapter 522 The Forced Agreement of Lenovo
Chapter 522 The Forced Agreement of Lenovo
Chen Ming and Liu Jun's faces turned pale instantly. What on earth happened?
They just wanted to lower the price, and the other party started kicking them out?
Huang Renxun remained silent; in the current gaming laptop market, Nvidia is the undisputed king.
With the same configuration, just slap on a GTX label and it can sell for 1000 yuan more than an AMD card, and it sells better.
The first question gamers ask when buying a gaming laptop is whether it uses Nvidia graphics cards. If all of Lenovo's gaming laptops were to be replaced with AMD graphics cards, Lenovo's gaming laptop sales would drop by at least half.
However, he also knew that getting the other party to accept a 3% rebate would be a bit difficult.
After all, the other party couldn't possibly be willing to accept that; they wouldn't have that kind of authority to give up a third of it.
"Mr. Huang, we've been working together for so many years, supporting each other to get to where we are today."
Chen Ming then played the emotional card again, as if he wasn't the one who had just threatened him.
"Can't you be a little more flexible? 8% would be fine, or even 5%?"
3% is really too little; we can't explain it to them.
Huang Renxun glanced at him, seemingly lost in thought. Just then, Huang Renxun's secretary walked in.
"Mr. Huang, the deal with Mechrevo has been signed. The first batch will be 10 cards, and the total order is expected to be 30."
Huang Renxun signed his name on it and then placed it in front of Chen Ming.
But he continued looking at the secretary and said, "Send over the batch of goods that were produced in advance in the warehouse."
Since they've offered their pledge of loyalty, we can't treat them unfairly.
The secretary nodded and quickly left the conference room.
Chen Ming and Liu Jun exchanged another glance, unable to believe the result.
After all... that's a 3% discount! They work so hard to earn this little bit of money, how could they possibly accept it!
"Mr. Chen, if you won't sign, there are others who are willing to."
You think that with AMD and Qualcomm, the market has now become a buyer's market.
The future may look like this, but for now, it's still a buyer's market!
Chen Ming and Liu Jing remained quietly there with their heads down, seemingly deep in thought.
It's just a mechanical revolution. Although it has good traffic, it's still a new brand with very few after-sales service outlets, so it doesn't pose a significant threat to them.
Seeing their hesitation, Huang Renxun completely extinguished any remaining hope they might have.
"Mr. Chen, as you just mentioned, our cooperation has been going smoothly, so I can give you a sneak peek."
"What news??"
Although Chen Ming asked the question subconsciously, his eyes were still on the list of cooperation opportunities, after all, he really wanted to curse the person in charge of Mechrevo.
The fact that they signed such outrageous terms suddenly put their remaining partners in a passive position.
[Jack Bro: Who the hell is your business partner? I'm the one who stole your business partner!]
Seeing that the other party didn't take it seriously, Old Huang said something casually that instantly made them uneasy:
"Transsion Terminals will officially establish an independent computer business unit next month."
"Focusing on high-performance gaming laptops and work laptops."
"The entire series comes standard with NVIDIA graphics cards and NVIDIA CPUs, and the entire chain from chip to complete machine is self-developed."
Regarding pricing, we will allow you some room to survive in the short term.
Chen Ming's heart sank suddenly, and he could no longer care about the traitor.
Liu Jun, in particular, was very panicked.
After all, telepathy was the opponent he feared most.
Don't be fooled by the many new forces vying for market share; they're all a motley crew. But if the behemoth that is Transmission enters the scene, then they'll...
If we compare Transsion to Lenovo, while they may not be a motley crew, their competitiveness certainly cannot match Transsion's.
As for whether the transmission of sound will be successful?
That goes without saying!
Simply switch the gameplay from mobile to computer, and all these established manufacturers will be forced to give up.
Moreover, once Transsion becomes popular, how to allocate production capacity will be their own internal matter.
It's uncertain whether these third-party manufacturers will even be able to get the goods, let alone negotiate discounts.
That guy in the leather jacket isn't just showing his bottom; this is a blatant threat.
It's fine if you don't accept the 3% rebate, but once their own brand is established, they won't even offer a 3% rebate anymore.
Chen Ming and Liu Jun exchanged a glance, then said to Huang Renxun:
"Mr. Huang, we need to discuss this. We thought we had enough authority, but it's actually a little too little. We also need to discuss this with headquarters."
"Don't worry, we won't leak the news that Transsion is entering the PC market."
"It's fine to leak it. It's news that's about to be officially announced anyway."
Huang Renxun said casually, then got up and picked up the contract from the table. He was going to go to other meeting rooms to see if other partners had signed it.
"Mr. Chen, should we sign?"
If you're the last one to sign, you not only won't get a better discount, but you might also offend someone.
After all, this negotiation is being conducted personally by President Wang. If it really comes down to the last one...
Chen Ming understood perfectly well what Liu Jun had left unsaid.
"This matter isn't in our hands. Send it to headquarters. Let Boss Liu worry about it."
Chen Ming sighed again after he finished speaking.
Although the negotiations failed, uncovering such important information can be considered a meritorious achievement.
After discussing it, Boss Liu and Yang Yuanqing sent a message.
agree.
After all, Lenovo may appear to be the world's largest PC manufacturer, but in reality, it has no bargaining power when it comes to core components.
Just like meat on a cutting board, people can cut it however they want.
Especially for domestic enterprises, they don't need him to do anything special, so he has no value in united front work.
After a while, Hwang In-hoon knocked on the office door again:
"What are your thoughts, you two? We've just landed another big order, and our production capacity might be insufficient."
"Since Mr. Huang has said so, there's no need for us to be coy anymore."
3% it is, we accept it.
However, regarding the production capacity of the new card, we hope that you can prioritize our orders in light of our existing ones.
Gaming laptops for the second half of the year will all depend on these new graphics cards.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen."
Huang Renxun immediately agreed, after all... that big order was just a ploy to trick him, and the others were making a fuss too.
"Only our core partners can be given priority in production scheduling."
We will reserve 30% of your orders for each month going forward.
Thank you.
…………
Back at their hotel, Chen Ming angrily slammed his fist on the table, seemingly wanting to vent all the frustration he'd suffered during the negotiations.
"Huang Renxun is going too far, he doesn't give me any face at all."
A 3% discount? Isn't that just throwing money away to a beggar?
Li Jun sighed, "There's nothing we can do. They have something in their hands; we have no choice."
I just hope AMD and Qualcomm will do better next year.
"By the way, how about we look into Transsion's foray into the computer market first?"
