To date, Wujiang Group has sold 15 million copies of the HarmonyOS operating system disc.
After signing cooperation agreements with computer manufacturers, every computer they sold was equivalent to selling a system disk. Moreover, the computer manufacturers' purchase price was not cheap; they had to pay Wujiang Group $250 for each computer!
Although it was expensive, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.
"Let Qiu Bojun talk to major computer manufacturers about PC OEM manufacturing. We'll provide a one-stop service, taking over all the production processes. The computer manufacturers only need to focus on sales!" Zhao Ye said with a faint smile.
He didn't believe they wouldn't be tempted once the cost of PC manufacturing was laid out.
Currently, Wujiang Group's products are so expensive that if they want to make money, they can only try their best to cut costs.
...
After receiving Zhao Ye's instructions, Qiu Bojun immediately sent people to contact representatives of major computer manufacturers.
He called all the manufacturers' representatives together for a meeting.
At the meeting.
Qiu Bojun organized his thoughts and said, "Hello everyone, I've called you all here today because I have some good news to tell you."
Upon hearing this, everyone inwardly grumbled.
Wujiang Group's products are always so expensive, what good could they possibly be? Are they just trying to sell us another product...?
Everyone was filled with hatred.
If they had no other choice, which company would be willing to pay a high price to purchase Wujiang Group's products?
Qiu Bojun, seemingly oblivious to the complaints in everyone's eyes, smiled slightly and said, "As far as I know, most of your companies build their own factories and produce their own PCs. In my opinion, this is highly inadvisable. Why do I say this? It's simple: because labor is very expensive!"
How much does an American worker earn in a month? At least $2,000!
Do you know how much a Chinese worker earns in a month? 500 RMB, which, at the current exchange rate, is only about 100 USD.
A 20-fold difference! Can you imagine that?
Qiu Bojun paused, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd. Seeing their expressions of shock, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He quickly added, "Our Wujiang Group provides PC OEM services. You don't need to build a factory. By outsourcing production, logistics, and other processes to Wujiang Group, you can greatly reduce production costs and thus obtain higher profits!"
Many computer manufacturers' representatives were already quite interested when they heard this.
Not only are American workers paid high wages, but unions also frequently cause trouble, making it difficult for employers to get workers to work overtime.
In addition, many parts and software have to be purchased from Wujiang Group. In order to save on transportation costs and tariffs, it would be better to produce the complete machine in China and then ship it to various parts of the world for sale.
"Manager, what are your company's OEM prices?" the computer manufacturer inquired.
"Wujiang Group only charges 100 RMB for manufacturing and installing a complete machine," Qiu Bojun stated.
That's fucking cheap!!!
Representatives from major computer manufacturers were all surprised to hear this.
100 RMB is only worth 20 USD. It's impossible to expect an American factory to assemble a complete machine for 20 USD.
The costs of factory construction, production equipment, land rent, worker salaries, and other expenses add up to a high production cost.
However, 100 RMB is considered a huge profit in China.
At this point, one of the manufacturers, somewhat incredulous, asked, "Assembling a complete machine really only costs 100 RMB?!"
"Of course it's true! We can sign a contract, why would we lie to you!" Qiu Bojun laughed.
"If that's the case, then our company is willing to have you manufacture the products!"
“Our company can also outsource some of our production orders to Wujiang Group!” the IBM representative added.
"Dell is also willing to outsource some of its production orders to Wujiang Group!"
"..."
Representatives from major manufacturers have expressed their views.
Wujiang Group's strength is undeniable, and no one doubts the quality of its OEM manufacturing. Shenzhou computers are even of better quality than those produced in their own factories.
Qiu Bojun was already quite satisfied. Although major computer manufacturers only gave a portion of their orders to Wujiang Group, it was a very good start.
Once they taste success, they will definitely place more production orders with Wujiang Group.
That evening, Qiu Bojun called Zhao Ye to report on the day's events.
Zhao Ye chatted with Qiu Bojun for a few minutes, encouraging him to keep up the good work, and then hung up the phone.
Wujiang Group's OEM business has started to improve, but Zhao Ye is now considering a problem.
"In my past life, I often heard about Foxconn exploiting its employees and suppressing their feelings and dignity, which resulted in Foxconn being criticized for many years. In the future, competition in the contract manufacturing business will become increasingly fierce. Although Wujiang Group will not exploit its employees to the extreme, it may require workers to work overtime frequently. Some people with weak stress resistance may not be able to accept it, which will lead to Wujiang Group's bad reputation."
"Therefore, companies that specialize in OEM manufacturing cannot use the name 'Boundless'."
"I think we could choose a name that has absolutely nothing to do with 'Boundless'..."
Zhao Ye pondered for a moment, then murmured, "Let's call it Global Electronics Technology Company. Rename most of the factories under the Wujiang Group to Global Electronics, and completely separate R&D, marketing, and production!"
"Technology companies can operate with a lighter burden, while Universal Electronics specializes in OEM manufacturing of consumer electronics such as computers, mobile phones, VCDs, digital cameras, and gaming entertainment products."
