Sure enough, only a few days later, Xing Baohua came looking for him.
He could see the importance of the joint venture with Samsung to Xing Baohua.
It's just a matter of what price this little guy will pay to get Samsung on his side.
While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and a man in his thirties came in.
"Jun'en! Go to the mainland and replace that guy Jin Canshan. You'll go there..."
The Third Prince gave the newcomer detailed instructions on how to respond to Xing Baohua.
Of course, I also passed on a message for him.
After leaving the Samsung factory, Xing Baohua returned to Dami Technology and called his chief secretary, asking him to conduct a comprehensive investigation into Lenovo's products.
Or products that are under research or development or preliminary research.
Lenovo has its own well-established supply chain, so why would it need to use products made by Samsung?
These days, insufficient production is normal. Even the joint venture Samsung factory is struggling to supply itself, let alone have surplus stock to supply Lenovo.
Alternatively, Lenovo may have colluded with Samsung's factory managers to reduce their own supply volume.
That's the only way to think about it! Do you really believe that Samsung products are cheap and of good quality?
We know our own products are made in our own country, and we can only consider them average compared to similar products.
The price is not cheap due to issues with manufacturing processes and product yield.
The components Lenovo chooses are even less desirable than those from Samsung.
The chief secretary quickly arrived at Xing Baohua's office, carrying a newspaper—last month's paper.
This is a computer technology newspaper, which includes an introduction to two new products that Lenovo is developing.
In situations like this, it's usually a pre-launch marketing effort, informing consumers in advance so those who are interested can simply wait to pay.
The newspaper said that Lenovo is developing a super tablet and a supercomputer.
As for how "super" it is, Xing Baohua almost burst out laughing when he saw the configuration details in the introduction.
EC's V20 chip.
The v20 chip is comparable to the Intel 8088 processor, and its performance surpasses that of the latter.
No matter how much you overclock it, it's still an 8-digit processor.
It's not that it's impossible to use on a tablet, but... there's no way to even complain about it.
Just as Xing Baohua remembered, the configuration would never be high-end; they would only use things from many years ago to create cheap products.
I guarantee I'll smash your computer.
If Xing Baohua remembers correctly, the V20 chip was used in supercomputers.
The supercomputer's configuration is relatively high, using a 286.
It can compete with Xing Baohua's current mainstream computers.
No matter how low the configuration Lenovo uses, at least they have a market for their products, and they compete with Xiaomi tablets and computers.
There are only a few manufacturers in the domestic market, and very few people own personal computers; most of them are purchased by their companies.
This is squeezing out Xing Baohua's remaining market share.
If Xing Baohua were to face a hardware bottleneck, the output of the rice electronics factory would decrease.
Whether in the domestic or international market, if rice production doesn't increase, market share will be swallowed up by other manufacturers.
"Go and find out who supplies the motherboards Lenovo uses. Which company is the hard drive distributor, and what about the memory..." Xing Baohua instructed his chief secretary to investigate immediately.
The chief secretary didn't turn and leave, but instead answered Xing Baohua's question: "It's the General Trade Department."
This company is an old nemesis.
Xing Baohua nodded. It was normal for the general trade company to help handle those hardware import orders, given Lenovo's huge import volume.
"Find the manufacturers of the imported parts, and we'll cut off their orders by disrupting their supply," Xing Baohua ordered his chief secretary forcefully.
The chief secretary nodded and turned to go out to do his work.
Xing Baohua rested his hands behind his head, his legs propped up on the corner of the table, half-reclining. He sneered, "Go ahead and fight! Let's fight amongst ourselves. I can't kill you, and you can't kill me. Anyone can be disgusting!"
Next, Xing Baohua prepared to disgust people.
The next day, Wei Laisong accompanied Xing Baohua to Zhoucun, the number one village in the world, to visit the Yicun brand air conditioner factory.
Zhoucun has two main products: Zhoucun sesame seed cakes and cloth.
There seems to be a TV series about a large dyeing workshop, which is about Zhoucun cloth.
Towns where cloth and silk are the core of their culture.
Now we've added another piece of furniture. The leather interior seats in the modified cars at Xing Baohua's factory are made here.
The Yicun Air Conditioning Factory was informed in advance that higher-level officials were coming to inspect the work, and the factory's leadership team greeted them collectively at the main gate.
After the convoy arrived at the gate, Wei Laisong and Xing Baohua shook hands with the factory leaders and said thank you for their hard work.
Upon arriving at the factory's conference room, we listened to the factory director's work report.
I talked for a whole morning in a very dry and monotonous way.
Before coming here, Xing Baohua asked people familiar with the factory and learned that the factory had more than 1,800 employees and was divided into two factories.
One is the final assembly plant, and the other is the compressor manufacturing plant.
It's not bad that we have all the core technologies in our own hands.
After listening to the report, Wei Laisong and Xing Baohua went to the workshop to see the frontline workers at work.
Wei Laisong even inquired about the working conditions and living conditions of the frontline workers.
If Xing Baohua hadn't known this guy before, he might even seem quite approachable.
After looking around, Wei Laisong returned to the factory director's office, leaving factory director Yan Hua and factory party secretary Sun Jie behind.
The two thought Wei Laisong was about to give important instructions, but to their surprise, he pointed at Xing Baohua and said, "He's taken a liking to your factory. You can discuss the rest."
The sudden change of topic left Xing Baohua and the two factory leaders somewhat bewildered.
That's good, it saves us from having to beat around the bush and use all sorts of excuses.
Xing Baohua said, "I have two plans. The first is to integrate it into the rice series. I will mobilize R&D resources to comprehensively upgrade the air conditioners produced."
