Soon after, the test results for the HCH notebook computer also came out.
Old Wang said, "This computer is a new brand, but the quality is unquestionable. Its performance is comparable to Toshiba's laptops costing over 10,000 yuan. How come it only cost 6,000 yuan? Are you sure you haven't run into a scammer?"
"I also hope it's just a scam, after all, this price is too unbelievable. By the way, Lao Wang, how much profit do you think the supplier can make at this price?"
Peter sighed and asked a question that concerned him greatly.
Old Wang stroked his chin and thought for a moment, his expression serious.
"I think even if we make money, it won't be much. A 10% gross profit margin would be good. This is definitely a large quantity, filling, and cheap deal!"
"10% is not a small amount. This is a million-dollar order, and you can easily make hundreds of millions."
"Several hundred million? That's gross profit. This amount of money is barely enough to keep the company running normally. It's practically charity."
Old Wang scoffed at Peter Ma's sentiments.
After a long while, the two remained silent.
Nobody knows what got into Su Wu that led him to offer such a price.
They're fighting tooth and nail to grab orders!
It's not that no one has done this before, but those people are now buried with grass three feet tall.
Peter Ma had already prepared for Su Wu to cut corners.
As long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would let Su Wu take the blame, since favors had to be repaid.
But now he is worried about Su Wu instead.
Following Su Wu's approach, Huachao Computers will likely lose a considerable amount of money.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Peter Ma decided to confirm with Su Wu again.
"Su Wu, are you sure you want to proceed with this quote?"
"Yes, at this price, we'll take as many orders as you can get."
Is it worth it for you to do this?
"Worth it? Absolutely worth it! I won't have to worry about domestic orders for the rest of the year."
After hanging up the phone, Peter Ma felt guilty.
Su Wu had helped him a lot, yet he had managed to handle the Huachao Computers matter to this extent.
How could he just stand by and watch Su Wu lose money?
"Hey brother, even if I'm a jerk, I can't push you to your death. I really want you to make money."
Peter shook the report in his hand and sighed helplessly.
He then tossed the report to his subordinate, saying, "Go and redo this report. Computers cost 3500 each, laptops cost 6500..."
He felt that raising Su Wu's price slightly would prevent Su Wu from feeling cheated.
On the other side.
Hu Mingfu and Liu Gengju were having a pleasant conversation.
As he spoke, Hu Mingfu's face was filled with smugness.
"Geng Ju, although you suffered a little loss in the Huachao Building matter, the notebook order business is enough for you to earn back all the losses. You must work harder."
That's an order for a million laptops that's about to be received, with a total value of 7 billion.
Even if Liu Gengju only takes 10% commission, that's still over 700 million.
If he could get cheaper goods of similar quality, he would earn even more.
This can be considered an olive branch extended by the Hu family to the Liu family.
Liu Gengju was also beaming with joy.
Although things didn't go as planned with Huachao Computers, this order is really great.
In the face of interests, personal grudges become insignificant.
He has used his connections to secure a batch of soon-to-be-discontinued laptop inventory from overseas.
These laptops are estimated to be obsolete and obsolete overseas next year, but they can still be sold in China.
In this way, his costs will be reduced significantly, while his profits will be quite substantial.
Seeing Hu Mingfu's pointed remark, he immediately smiled and raised his glass.
"Brother Mingfu, you're too kind. I can't handle such a big business by myself. I'll need your help and guidance."
"Hehehe, once the sample passes the review, the order will be finalized. You'd better arrange for shipment as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Mingfu. I've already reached an agreement with several overseas companies, and the pricing has been paid. There will absolutely be no problem."
"Officer Geng is indeed efficient and decisive. It seems you're going to make a fortune this time. Congratulations in advance!"
Hu Mingfu also raised his glass with a smile, but his eyes remained fixed on Liu Gengju.
His meaning was crystal clear: how could he not benefit from such a large deal?
Liu Gengju understood and smiled as he held up five fingers.
“Brother Mingfu, we should share this joy. I conservatively estimate that you can earn 500 million.”
500 million!
Upon hearing this, Hu Mingfu's heart skipped a beat.
It seems he underestimated the profits in the computer industry; high technology really is lucrative.
Just as he was excitedly preparing to discuss the follow-up plans, his phone suddenly rang.
Hu Mingfu picked up his phone somewhat impatiently and answered the call.
"Hello, I'm with a guest right now. What's up?"
"What? There's been a change in the laptop order? How is that possible!"
His tone immediately changed from impatience to surprise, and he involuntarily stood up.
After a moment, he hung up the phone and looked at Liu Gengju.
"There's been a small problem. I'll go check it out. I'll head out first."
Having said that, he left his seat without waiting for Liu Gengju's reaction.
Inside an office.
Hu Mingfu, who had rushed over, sat down, slightly out of breath.
"Boss, what exactly happened?"
"Sigh, take a look at this newly submitted order first."
The person opposite didn't say much and handed a document to Hu Mingfu.
Hu Mingfu skipped over the performance parameters he didn't understand and went straight to the price quote.
"A laptop costing 6500 yuan, with only 512MB of RAM? How is that possible?"
"What brand is HCH? How can the price be so cheap? Who gave us this order?"
Exclamations of surprise rang out, and Hu Mingfu's face was filled with disbelief.
The person opposite him smiled wryly and said, "This is a contract from the Li family. You know it's official business, so there has to be a price-performance ratio. Can you offer a lower price?"
"The Li family? Didn't they already get the desktop computer orders? Now they want to take over the laptop orders too?"
Hu Mingfu looked puzzled upon hearing this.
The person opposite him frowned upon hearing this.
"Mingfu, don't speak carelessly. We will take care of those who deserve it, but we also need to follow the principle of survival of the fittest. We're not going to engage in any underhanded dealings or secretly allocate quotas..."
"Yes, yes, yes. You're right, I'll call and ask right away." Hu Mingfu didn't dare to act rashly after being suddenly reprimanded.
The person opposite nodded in satisfaction, "If you can lower your price to 6500, I can withstand the pressure from the Li family and give you the order. Similarly, if you can sell the desktop computer for below 3500, then this order can also go to your Hu family!"
While saying this, the person was secretly groaning inwardly.
