Chapter 491: Huawei's 500 million purchase order! 30 GWh production capacity layout! Song Yuncheng the dog!
On October 15, the pre-sale event for Pinbei’s Double Eleven promotion started.
Meitu CEO Wu Hongxin announced that the cumulative sales of Meitu 1S beauty camera have exceeded 300,000 units, with revenue reaching 640 million yuan.
On the other hand, HTC One Max's first-day sales data was released, with a total of 11,000 units sold worldwide.
This model is equipped with a Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space, a built-in 3300mAh lithium battery, and is priced at 5,288 yuan.
This price made netizens couldn't help but exclaim: Who gave HTC the courage?
You should know that the standard version of Yaocheng X1 has a memory configuration of 4GB plus 32GB, and the price is only 3,999 yuan!
Therefore, as soon as the HTC One Max, priced at 5,288 yuan, was launched, it was ridiculed by the entire Internet.
Immediately afterwards, according to data released by IDC, China's smartphone shipments jumped to first place in the world, accounting for more than 40% for the first time.
After their release, Nokia Lumia 1520 and BlackBerry Z30 both targeted the Chinese market.
The former hopes to leverage China's huge mobile phone user base to increase the market share of the Windows Phone 8 operating system; the latter wants to take this opportunity to save BlackBerry's precarious market position.
Unfortunately, the prices are too high, one sells for 4999 yuan and the other sells for 4299 yuan.
For users, it is better to buy Yaocheng X1, a pure domestic system with no advertisements, smooth operation, powerful camera function, higher security and cheaper price.
As a result, three flagship phones from overseas manufacturers, from HTC to Nokia and BlackBerry, have failed in the Chinese market.
Only the iPhone 5s has the best sales and firmly occupies the high-end market.
Among the models priced above 4,000 yuan, only the Yaocheng X1, Sanxing GALAXY S4 and Sony L36h still have a chance to compete.
As Orange Technology’s new product launch conference approaches, everyone expects the Yaocheng X2 to continue the glory of the first generation and suppress Apple’s arrogance.
Huawei's Ren Zhongfei was no exception. When meeting Chen Yansen, he sighed and said, "In the high-end market, the only domestic mobile phone that can compete is the Yaocheng series."
Four months ago, Huawei launched the Ascend P6, which sold only 2 million units, far from its target of 10 million units.
In 2013, Huawei's mobile phone business was mainly concentrated in mid- and low-end models, and was mainly contract phones, that is, mobile phones given away for free when you top up your phone bill.
Models such as Ascend P2, Ascend P6 and Ascend Mate launched this year are generally priced between two and three thousand yuan. Their hardware configurations are comparable to the flagship phones of Xiaomi and 360, and they have not yet begun to impact the high-end market.
"Mr. Ren, you're joking. We can't just rely on Yaocheng.
Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad, and Xiaomi can also make high-end models. Whether it's Deep Blue batteries, Aurora Future OS, or the Tiangong A100 chip, Orange Technology is happy to open them to friendly companies."
Chen Yansen stood tall, looked at Ren Zhongfei and said with a smile.
Cao Dahua was there with him.
On Ren Zhongfei's left and right are He Boting and Yu Chendong respectively.
Last night, just as Chen Yansen, Ma Wenteng and others raised their glasses of wine, Yu Chendong called and invited him to visit Huawei's headquarters.
Previously, the two companies have cooperated in chip design, voice recognition and IT infrastructure.
For example, the baseband module of the Tiangong A100 chip is the result of patent cross-licensing between Tiangong Technology and HiSilicon Chip; Huawei's intelligent voice assistant "Xiaoyi" was successfully developed using speech analysis development tools.
Huawei started out in the communications industry. At that time, the proportion of mobile phone business was still very low, less than 25%, and the core sectors were still operators and server businesses.
Taking Orange Technology's two data centers as an example, during the construction process, they purchased a batch of valuable Cloud Engine 12800 switches, all-solid-state storage products and uninterruptible power supplies from Huawei.
After hearing what Chen Yansen said, Ren Zhongfei smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Chen is so confident in the Tiangong A100?"
"There's always an extra filter for your own children," Chen Yansen said half-jokingly.
Tiangong A100 has not yet been launched on the market. Huawei currently only knows that it uses some Balong baseband technology, is an octa-core processor, and uses the Orange Z1 instruction set and Xuanshu architecture.
But no one can tell what the performance of this chip will be like before the new product launch conference.
However, in Ren Zhongfei's opinion, since Chen Yansen dared to install the Tiangong A100 on the Yaocheng X2, its performance must be no worse than Snapdragon 600.
Otherwise, the reputation of the Yaocheng series will be really ruined.
"Deep Blue batteries are of great significance to the mobile phone industry. Judging from the market feedback on the iPhone 5s, domestic users have a higher demand for smartphones with longer battery life.
Mr. Chen, starting with next year's new models, Huawei is also preparing to fully use Deep Blue batteries."
Ren Zhongfei is not very interested in Tiangong A100.
He would not be interested in a processor that has not yet been verified by the market, even if it is praised to the sky.
What's more, the HiSilicon Kirin 910T quad-core processor has entered the tape-out stage, with a performance improvement of 20% over the HiSilicon K3V2E.
Chen Yansen wants to promote his own Tiangong A100 chip, and Ren Zhongfei also wants to promote HiSilicon's Kirin chip.
Even if it is only used in the Orange C series, based on the global shipment volume of Orange mobile phones, 10 to 20 million units can be sold a year.
Seeing that Ren Zhongfei was only interested in Deep Blue Battery, Chen Yansen didn't force him. He nodded and said to Cao Dahua, "You should contact General Manager Yu later. Once the production capacity of Factory No. 2 is released, give priority to supplying Huawei's orders."
As for the contract amount, it naturally starts at 500 million US dollars.
This standard applies no matter which company comes to negotiate, unless Deep Blue Battery's production capacity is expanded again.
"Okay, boss." Cao Dahua agreed quickly.
In private, he would occasionally call Chen Yansen "classmate Chen" or "Brother Sen", but in business occasions, Lao Cao always kept his composure and acted like a close henchman.
If two sellers meet and both want to sell their goods to each other, there is a high probability that they will not be able to reach an agreement.
This is the case with Chen Yansen and Ren Zhongfei.
So, when Chen Yansen left Huawei's headquarters, he only took away a supply contract for Deep Blue Battery.
Ren Zhongfei has no intention of purchasing the Tiangong A1100 chip, nor does he have any plans to install the Aurora Future OS on Huawei phones.
"Old Cao, what do you think?" Chen Yansen asked Cao Dahua next to him while sitting in the back seat of the car.
"The food in Huawei's cafeteria tastes average, but the steamed buns are good. When you break them open, you can see the hollow inside."
Cao Dahua said with a grin.
Chen Yansen laughed dumbly and rolled his eyes at him. "Huawei has a strong foundation in B-side technology and its strength should not be underestimated."
What Cao meant by this was that Huawei looks strong, but it will collapse if squeezed.
To be honest, Cao Dahua's tone was indeed a bit too loud.
In Chen Yansen's eyes, Orange Technology's biggest competitors are Sanxing and Apple.
Huawei's global annual shipments are less than 50 million units. It would be too unconfident to regard such an opponent as an imaginary enemy.
"Boss, but I feel that Huawei is quite hostile to Orange." Cao Dahua said solemnly.
"It's normal to have hostility. After all, we're all competing. Don't Xiaomi, 360, LeEco, and Meitu have any hostility towards Orange?"
Chen Yansen said indifferently.
Orange Technology has recruited a group of younger brothers. The big brothers want to make more money, while the younger brothers want to spend less money, and this contradiction arises.
It’s just that Orange Technology is currently strong enough to control the supply of key software and hardware.
Although Lei Yijun, Zhou Hongyi and others understood that Chen Yansen had made a lot of money from the purchase price and had ripped them off, they did not dare to speak out.
Because they know that once they lose the support of Orange Technology, the sales of their own products may not reach the current level.
Chen Yansen leaned back in his chair, looking at the red sunset outside the window, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
Li Qingsong's visit is not only to support DeepBlue Technology, but also to send a signal to the outside world: the development of the new energy industry is imperative.
Currently, the annual production capacity of DeepBlue Technology's No. 1 and No. 2 factories is only 15 million kWh, corresponding to an industrial output value of approximately US$6 billion.
If it wants to become the dominant force in the battery industry, its production capacity must at least increase several times to 50 GWh or 100 GWh per year (1 GWh = 1 million kWh) to initially meet the consumption needs of global consumer electronics, energy storage, pure electric vehicles and other industries.
Thinking of this, Chen Yansen instructed Cao Dahua, "Tell Yuan Ruili hello and ask him to find a way to allocate another piece of ready-made industrial land to Deep Blue Technology. Ideally, we can increase Deep City's production capacity to 30 GWh within a year."
"Boss, a production line is not cheap. The double planetary mixer, vacuum degassing device, coating machine and roller slitting machine alone cost 30 million.
This year, with the influx of energy storage orders from the Middle East and power battery orders from automakers, building a third factory would be prohibitively expensive.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Dahua turned around, looked at the boss's profile, and persuaded him carefully.
30 GWh is high?
Tall ass!
No one knows the future development trends better than Chen Yansen.
By 2026, global demand for power batteries will reach 1,600 GWh, and combined with small batteries and energy storage batteries, the total shipment volume will reach 2,000 GWh.
Only by planning ahead can you seize the opportunity.
Chen Yansen turned to look at Cao Dahua and said, "30 GWh is just the starting point. I plan to increase battery production capacity to 50 GWh within two years."
Seeing the boss's determined look, Cao Dahua knew that Chen Yansen had already made the decision. Although he was worried, he did not dare to persuade him anymore.
Chen Yansen knew what Lao Cao was thinking, which was that DeepBlue Technology's expansion speed was too radical.
After all, Panasonic's annual battery production capacity is only 4.8 GWh, Sanxing SDI's is 3.5 GWh, LG Chem's is 3.2 GWh, and BYD's was 2.6 GWh before the expansion.
Only by tying Panasonic, Sanxing, LG and BYD together can we compete with Deep Blue Technology.
Cao Dahua was thinking that unless the year-on-year growth rate of battery consumption remained above 50%, Deep Blue Battery's production capacity would not be fully utilized.
But then he thought again, once DeepBlue Technology takes over the market share of Panasonic, Sanxing, LG and other companies, won’t there be a way out for sales?
Half an hour later, Chen Yansen returned to the hotel.
He opened the door and walked straight into the living room.
Song Yuncheng was wearing a black and white fashion suit, with his long hair simply tied behind his head, a strand of hair lightly touching the corner of his mouth, and he was looking through the new product plan of Orange Mobile with a focused expression.
There are still three days before Orange Technology’s new product launch. As the main shipping channel, Pinbei’s resource position, activity page, price, inventory and marketing rhythm all need to be confirmed one by one.
Even though this plan had been revised by his subordinates, Song Yuncheng was still worried.
She remembered clearly what Chen Yansen said: In the workplace, the only person you can trust is yourself.
At first, Song Yuncheng did not understand the deep meaning of these words.
Until one day, a big imported food brand sought cooperation, but food safety issues broke out in the brand's country of origin.
She sent the information about the illegal ingredients to the corresponding investment promotion personnel, and reminded them to be careful when selecting products and delete those that did not meet the requirements first.
However, the other party was careless and missed three items, which were eventually discovered by users and complained to the Municipal Supervision Association, causing considerable negative impact and losses to the platform.
After this incident, Song Yuncheng finally understood what Chen Yansen meant.
From then on, she would personally review every event plan and business contract she handled.
If you encounter legal terms that you don’t understand, just ask the legal department directly.
Over time, her reading, knowledge, vigilance and working ability have improved.
In terms of IQ and EQ, Song Yuncheng is far inferior to Ye Qiuping, but she is studious and hardworking.
If you learn slowly, you will spend more time than others.
In addition, Chen Yansen was willing to give her opportunities, which allowed him to train her step by step.
Privately, many people wanted to poach her. The human resources departments of Dongfang, Ali and Amazon had contacted her, but she rejected them all.
Leave Pinbei and leave Chen Yansen?
Song Yuncheng had never had this idea.
Although she knew that with her abilities, she could find a well-paid business director job in BAT, she just couldn't bear to leave Chen Yansen.
When I think of that freshman with a smirk on his face leaning close to my ear and saying, "Senior sister, you don't want your boyfriend to know that you kissed me in order to get the second-level agency rights for the campus card, right?"
This guy is so bad!
Chen Yansen walked behind Song Yuncheng and saw that she was unaware of anything. He couldn't help but laugh and thought to himself: What a little curly-haired girl who loves to work overtime.
He raised his hand and rubbed her head.
Song Yuncheng's neck shrank in shock. After seeing that it was Chen Yansen, he frowned and asked softly, "You're back so early? Didn't Mr. Ren invite you to dinner?"
"Well, he's too stingy. He still has to make do with lunch in the Huawei cafeteria."
Chen Yansen lied with his eyes open.
If Ren Zhongfei heard this, he would definitely retort: I clearly arranged the dinner, and not only did you refuse it, you also turned around and blamed me, right?
"I don't believe it!" Song Yuncheng said with a smile.
"Let me take you out for a walk." Chen Yansen said while sitting on the sofa.
"But I haven't finished my work yet..." Song Yuncheng hesitated.
"I'm the boss, and now I'm sending you shopping." Chen Yansen took her little hand and gently pulled it into his arms, and she leaned over.
"Aren't you going shopping?" Song Yuncheng blinked and stared at him.
"Don't worry, give me another hour or two."
Chen Yansen found the lock cylinder with ease, applied some lubricating oil, and then inserted the key.
at the same time.
Wu Hongxin held a celebration party in Minzhou, inviting a number of celebrities such as Yang Tianbao and Li Xiaolu, as well as dozens of Weibo and Douyin internet celebrities.
"Boss Chen must like this kind of game. I heard he's in Shenzhen. Can you tell me if he can come?"
Wu Hongxin pondered secretly.
Then he took out his cell phone and called Chen Yansen.
But Boss Chen was busy unlocking the door at the moment, so how could he have time to pay attention to him?
Seeing that he couldn't get through, Wu Hongxin took a few photos of the beautiful women at the scene and sent them over, along with an invitation message.
Two hours later, Chen Yansen replied: "Next time."
He has no good feelings towards celebrities in the entertainment industry, and most of them are second-hand cars, and Mr. Chen has always been a mysophobe.
