In fact, in essence, this "loss" of money is not really a loss, it is just a reduction in the estimated revenue of Qiongxing after the sound card is released in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Qi Tianxing decisively chose to cut off his wrists and start a price war with Geng Xiaowen.
After the boss gave the order, the entire Qiongxing Company also took action. They began to contact major cooperative manufacturers and inform them of their company's latest quotations.
Qi Tianxing himself was not idle either. He chose to contact several long-term partners with close relationship in person in a more sincere manner.
These companies are almost all big-name computer companies in the Eastern Federation market. They can be said to be the cornerstone of Qiongxing's rise and the anchor of Qi Tianxing's heart!
As long as we can maintain a cooperative relationship with them, the sound card business will not be too bad.
——Of course, these large companies will choose to cooperate with Qiongxing more or less because of Qi Dongqiang’s face. This can also be regarded as an invisible benefit for the second generation of Jinmin Group.
...
In the evening, Wenhui Company.
Geng Xiaowen didn't sleep all night, and only took a nap at noon. At this time, he was staring at the documents piled up like mountains and seas on his desk with red eyes. These were letters of intent for cooperation submitted by the sales department.
The effect of holding a patent is very significant. It is a reassurance for major cooperative manufacturers. In addition, the price quoted by Wenhui is more beautiful, and there are many manufacturers willing to cooperate.
Most of them are small businesses.
When Domestar's Sky Dome series graphics cards were released, prices were differentiated.
——For those companies that can buy a large number of graphics cards, Qi Tianxing gives lower purchase prices, while for those companies that do small business, Qi Tianxing sells them at the original price.
Although this kind of price reduction is carried out secretly, there is no airtight wall in the entire industry. Over time, every boss will hear similar "gossip".
These rumors were indeed not confirmed, but they also became the trigger for small companies to choose to cooperate with Wen Hui.
Of course, this is also related to Qi Tianxing's love of "focusing on key points".
There are more than one company developing graphics cards. The SkyVault series graphics cards are just one of the many on the market. Qi Tianxing is not so arrogant as to dominate the entire market, so in his mind he has always wanted to "grasp the key points" first.
"Has the third group reported any new situation?" Geng Xiaowen asked without raising his head.
"I heard from the team members that Qiongxing has given a lower price, 44 star coins." The secretary replied.
Geng Xiaowen’s secretary is a young man in his thirties named Yang Zhijie.
He was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, but his hair was covered with hair gel and combed in a slicked back, transforming him from an elegant and easy-going man into a "greasy, high-quality man."
"44 star coins, a sound card makes a profit of 4 star coins, Qi Ergou really dares to follow." The little fat man stopped what he was doing, frowned and calculated in his mind, "But this should be the smallest loss for him. "
"So what should we do here?" Yang Zhijie himself is a business school graduate from a prestigious university, but he has great respect for Geng Xiaowen, a kid who has just entered college, and will wait for his instructions on almost everything.
This is not only respect for the boss, but also admiration for Geng Xiaowen's ability.
"Ha..." The little fat man smiled slightly, "The numbers calculated by Qi Ergou and his team are only the optimal solution under the current situation."
"Mr. Geng, what do you mean... we are going to continue to lower prices?" Yang Zhijie pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "If the current situation continues, we can occupy at least about 40% of the market. This has already changed from Qiongxing has eaten a big piece of meat, and you even have a good chance of getting into the middle-level list of Jinmin Headquarters. If the price continues to be reduced, the income may not be as high as it is now, and the list may also..."
The second generation of the Jinmin Group all started external subsidiaries to gain experience, and finally entered the headquarters based on their performance. This is something that almost the entire group's employees know.
People like Yang Zhijie who work in secretarial positions have the best chance of being promoted along with their bosses. Of course he hopes to be able to achieve enlightenment alone and follow Geng Xiaowen to the headquarters.
Therefore, from Yang Zhijie's point of view, he hopes that Geng Xiaowen can be steady and steady, rather than die together with Qi Tianxing all at once, and neither of them can be included in the headquarters list.
After all, the cost of the sound card from Qiongxing is 40 star coins. With the quotation of 44 star coins, the profit is already very low. The cost of Wenhui's sound card is...
Hey, how much does our sound card cost?
Yang Zhijie was suddenly confused.
"I know what you mean." Geng Xiaowen smiled, "Everything will be under control as soon as possible. We can easily fight a price war here. It depends on whether Qiongxing will follow suit."
"Oh? Mr. Geng, you mean... our costs are actually lower?" Yang Zhijie, who started studying business as an undergraduate, reacted immediately.
Geng Xiaowen said nothing, but smiled calmly.
learn from mistakes.
This time the little fat man learned the lesson wisely. Even though Lu Li's patent had been approved, he still did not reveal the contents of the sound card design drawing. He only sent it to several factories in scattered ways.
Regardless of the line of work, information is the most important. Qi Tianxing was already at a disadvantage without knowing exactly how much the new sound card would cost.
"Each group will continue to give quotations, and we will offer 41 star coins." Geng Xiaowen ordered, "The sales department, especially the members of the third group, ask them to spread the news immediately."
Price reduced by 1 star coin.
Such a small price reduction is not because Geng Xiaowen wants to deliberately disgust Qiongxing, but because he wants to continue to keep the "cost information" opaque and let Qi Tianxing continue to struggle.
"Okay." Yang Zhijie left the office in a hurry.
...
A hotel in Haicheng.
On the huge round table, most of the delicacies have been eaten.
After drinking for three rounds, Qi Tianxing's face was reddish, and he was chatting and laughing with a fat man. There were also many middle-aged people toasting each other around him.
These are the company CEOs invited by Qi Tianxing.
"Oh my God, Xiaoqi, when are you going to release that sound card?" The fat boss smiled like a neighbor's uncle watering his flowers.
"It's coming soon. It's expected to be next week." Qi Tianxing raised his glass and said, "Also, Uncle Gu, you must come to the product launch conference this weekend. It is a favor for my nephew."
Most of the bosses present were middle-aged, so Qi Tianxing naturally looked twice as young as him in front of them.
——And the sound card business depends on these people. Even if you act, you have to act like one.
"Ding Dong!"
The middle-aged man's cell phone rang, and a message appeared on the screen.
"What information...huh?" Boss Gu's eyes widened.
