One hundred and fifty-four chapters menacing fruit(1/2)
"The screens produced by Rouyu Company are indeed good screens, but the price is still too expensive!"
Cook thinks that Rouyu’s screens are quite good, and if used on his own products, they would be even more powerful.
But it is too expensive in terms of cost.
The price of the basic version of the OLED screen made of r4 material has reached 1,400 yuan.
The price of the most advanced OLED screen made of R5 material is as high as 2,100 yuan.
Such an expensive cost is too high in the opinion of the fruit company. You must know that the Sansang screen fruit was purchased for only 900 yuan.
"Let me explain to Ge Yue, the screens made of R4 and R5 materials are both very good, but the price is too expensive. If we can get R4 to less than 1,000 yuan and R5 to less than 1,400 yuan, we might consider cooperating with Rouyu.
!”
Cook is a very shrewd businessman, and he already has his own plan at this time.
Guozi Mobile is currently the mobile phone brand with the largest shipment volume in the world, but its product performance in recent years has been too much for toothpaste.
With ios and a series products, Guoguo has the capital to squeeze out toothpaste. At the same time, in order to obtain more profits, they often reduce costs in terms of hardware configuration.
Obviously this time the fruit company has taken a fancy to the screens of Rouyu Company, but they just want to buy Rouyu's OLED screens at a lower price.
On the Chinese side, when Ge Yue received the news from the headquarters, she quickly took people to the headquarters of Rouyu Company to discuss cooperation without any hesitation.
Ge Yue is already used to this kind of cooperation method of lowering prices.
After all, the fruit company is the dominant player in the entire global technology industry, and basically the upstream supply chain manufacturers have to give Guozi some thin noodles.
"Manager Ge, lowering prices like this makes me unable to see the sincerity of the fruit company!"
Zhou Zhen was also full of expectations when he heard that Ge Yue's team had come to negotiate.
But when he heard that the other party had lowered the cost and selling price to such a low price, Zhou Zhen couldn't sit still at all.
Although the current profit margin of Rouyu Screen is as high as 50% to 60%, Zhou Zhen does not want to see the price reduced to such a low level.
If Zhou Zhen chooses to lower the price because of cooperation with large-volume orders, this will simply lower the positioning of his own screens.
At the same time, other Android manufacturers will inevitably feel grudges after seeing Rouyu's attitude towards Guozi.
And if you choose to lower the price this time to cooperate with the fruit company, it is equivalent to Rouyu Company taking the initiative to bow to the fruit.
At that time, the cooperation between the two companies will take "fruit" as the core and the initiative.
For Zhou Zhen, who currently has the foundation, this kind of cooperation will simply hurt the future development of Rouyu Company.
Isn’t it ridiculous to want to use Rouyu’s screen at such a low price?
"Guozi has a vast global market share, and being able to cooperate with a fruit company is the dream of every technology company!"
Ge Yue turned a blind eye to the unhappy expression on Zhou Zhen's face and explained to Zhou Zhen the advantages of the fruit company.
The fruit company is the world's largest technology company, and its product shipments are also among the best in the world. If you can join the fruit company, you, Rouyu, will be lucky.
Now our fruit company has taken a liking to your screen. This is your honor. Don’t be ignorant here!
Zhou Zhen's face turned cold and he immediately issued an eviction order.
Although the decrease in Juchang’s market share has affected the development of Rouyu Company, logically speaking, cooperation between Rouyu Company and Guozi is the best development direction in the future.
But the fruit company's attitude and cooperation methods were simply unacceptable to Zhou Zhen.
This is not the so-called cooperation, this is clearly robbing!
At this time, Zhou Zhen still felt that partners like Juchang were the real partners of Rouyu Company.
Zhou Zhen refused, and Ge Yue also sent the message back to the fruit company.
Although Cook is a little unhappy with this result, Guozi’s current product strategy simply cannot accept Rouyu’s screen.
You must know that the hardware profit of the products pursued by the fruit company is as high as 50% or more.
For example, the hardware cost of a Guozi mobile phone priced at nearly 7,000 yuan is not much different from the hardware cost of a domestic flagship with a price of more than 4,000 yuan.
The hardware cost accepted by Guozi is up to 3,000 yuan.
A screen is sold for 1,400 to 2,100 yuan, which is obviously unacceptable to Guozi.
Since the other party refuses to give in, it can only choose to give up the cooperation between the two.
After all, they are different and do not seek each other.
Time has gradually come to the end of September.
The Guozi 12 series, Guozi's first standard product with 5g, has also officially appeared in the public eye.
This time, after years of negotiations with Jiaotong, Guozi finally obtained Jiaotong's patented external baseband chip, which truly enabled the mobile phone to connect to 5G.
With the official convening of the Guozi Technology Spring Festival Gala, the Guozi 12 series finally appeared in the public eye.
But when the Guozi 12 series was officially launched, netizens were completely dumbfounded.
This familiar lens module and corresponding stainless steel vertical edge right-angle middle frame.
This exterior design seems familiar.
Digital enthusiasts who have been in the technology circle for many years suddenly thought of that relatively niche model.
“Holy shit! Isn’t this the design of the SoftPai mobile phone generation? The lens module on the back cover and the middle frame design are exactly the same!”
"I'm sorry, Guozi has copied the Roupai!"
"What kind of plagiarism is this? Can what a mobile phone company does be considered plagiarism? This is called design reference!"
Apparently the design of the Guozi Phone 12 series has caused a commotion on the Internet.
After all, this appearance has nothing to do with the SoftPai mobile phone generation, it is exactly the same.
As the chairman of Flexpai, Zhou Zhen also published a promotional poster of the original Flexpai mobile phone generation and a meaningful paragraph late at night.
“Classics never go out of style!”
This wave of operations has also made Ropai more and more prestigious in the technology circle.
After all, the appearance of the first-generation product is two years ahead of the fruit company, which is really awesome!
Of course, this time the Guozi Phone 12 series does have very few hardware upgrades.
It’s nothing more than an extra 5g function!
There is an extra A14 processor chip!
Upgrade the LCD screen to an OLED screen!
The reason why this time's Guozi Phone 12 series is said to be toothpaste is mainly because it seems to be incompatible with the rapid progress of the Android camp.
This year the Android camp is in full swing.
High brush!
Fast charging!
Big bottom and big pixels!
High screen-to-body ratio full screen!
These substantial technological breakthroughs have once again made the attributes of flagship phones in the Android camp higher.
It's just that Guozi turned a blind eye to the rapid improvement of the Android camp.
The above major upgrades basically have nothing to do with fruits.
Faced with the rapid growth of the Android camp, the fruit company only used one move to suppress the Android camp.
Lower the starting price of your product.
The retail price of this generation of products is at least 400 yuan lower than that of the previous generation, which is enough to drive a group of users who like Guozi phones crazy.
Of course, the fruit company also has its own plans. Although the Android camp has made rapid progress this time, it is still a little inferior to this company's products.
Coupled with the blessing of Guozi's high-end brand attributes, Juchang's development is restricted. Guozi Company is very proud to announce: In the competition in the mobile phone market, I have the advantage!
As for the leap-forward technologies that have appeared in the Android camp this year, it can definitely keep Guozi squeezed out toothpaste for several years.
There will be a high-end brush next year!
Change your bangs next year!
Upgrade to a higher resolution next year!
I’ll upgrade to a fast charger next year!
A new technology comes out every year, and toothpaste comes out every year.
It’s not flattering to make money while standing still!
Of course, although this time the Guozi 12 series continues to squeeze out toothpaste, it is still recognized by many users who like Guozi mobile phones.
But this time the fruit company came up with a new cool operation.
For the sake of sustainable development of the entire global environment, the fruit company actually canceled the free charger!
Guozi’s outrageous actions aroused the ridicule of the entire Internet.
