Of course, it is uncertain how much Sugon Technology can borrow. Sugon Technology is currently negotiating with banks, and it will take some time to know how much it can loan.
But the outside world just doesn't give Sugon Technology time. Sugon Technology is booming in the field of chip foundry.
When the newly built mobile phone factory with an annual output of 30 million units was officially put into operation, a series of events that were quite bad for Sugon Technology broke out in the outside world.
…
September 27, 2003, Sugon Technology Headquarters.
“...Currently due to the pressure from the world’s four major mobile phone giants, Enochia, Motorola, Sanxing Mobile, and Soni Ericsson.
At present, Carlisle is only willing to supply 30 million 1-megapixel mobile phone lenses per year, and is not willing to increase the supply of mobile phone lenses to us.
During this process, we have not thought about looking for other mobile phone lens companies. We contacted global mobile phone lens suppliers such as Leica, Nicon, Canon, Soni, and Casio, but they all said that they could not supply us with 1 million pixels on a large scale. Lenses are only available on a small scale!
According to the current situation, even if we purchase their lenses from major mobile phone companies, the maximum quantity we can purchase will not exceed 35 million! "
Chen Dong, who is in charge of mobile phone production, is introducing the current cruel situation to everyone in the conference room.
In response to this, the senior executives of Sugon Technology at the scene were all extremely angry, and they were very angry about the despicable behavior of the four major mobile phone giants such as Nokia, Motorola, Sanxing, and Sony Ericsson.
They had no idea that the world's four major mobile phone giants would make such a despicable move, and they saw that they could not defeat Sugon Technology.
They actually resorted to restricting the sales of mid- to high-end mobile phone spare parts. This behavior is really despicable.
Of course, although this method is despicable, it is indeed effective.
This method was like beating a snake to the ground, and it directly made the senior executives of Sugon Technology feel numb and powerless in addition to their anger.
However, the angry bad news did not stop. At this time, Chen Dong continued to say amidst people's angry faces:
“In addition to the restricted purchase of 1-megapixel mobile phone lenses, Carlisle, Leica, Nicon, Canon, Soni, Casio...
All manufacturers that can design and produce 2-megapixel mobile phone lenses refuse to supply us with 2-megapixel mobile phone lenses on a large scale because they lack production capacity!
As far as I know, the 2-megapixel mobile phone lens they just developed less than a year ago does have insufficient production capacity, but it has not reached the point where it cannot be supplied to us on a large scale.
It is said that Casio of the island country will release the world's first 2-megapixel mobile phone A5403CA in October. Their slogan is to sell 10 million units per year!
So they don't have insufficient production capacity at all, but they don't want us to purchase 2-megapixel mobile phone lenses. Among them, the only one who can be said to be easy to talk about is Carlisle.
They are willing to sell us 50,000 2-megapixel mobile phone lenses every month, which is equivalent to 600,000 high-end mobile phones a year..."
"Haha, you couldn't buy mid-to-high-end foreign production equipment before, but now you can't even buy mid-to-high-end mobile phone spare parts. This is really ridiculous."
At this time, Huang Hua, who was in charge of Sugon Electronics' direct-operated store business, made a sarcastic sound with deep anger in his eyes.
At this time, Li Qianqiang, the sales director in charge of Sugon mobile phone sales, shrugged helplessly and said:
"Yes, I have to say that the despicable actions of these four major mobile phones really refreshed my understanding of the bottom line of foreign companies. I never thought that they could be so despicable."
"Although the method is despicable, it is indeed quite effective. It can be called a fatal blow!"
The person speaking at this time was Rebus, the general manager of Sugon Technology. He put his right hand on his forehead and gently rubbed it, feeling very headache.
"What do we do now?"
Frowning Chen Dong asked about the difficulty in his heart.
After all, the new mobile phone factory has been officially put into operation, and Sugon Technology's current annual production capacity has reached 60 million units.
After building the factory, it seemed that it was going to skyrocket. However, because there were no mid-to-high-end mobile phone parts, production capacity could not be expanded...
This new factory looks like it has not been built yet, and it is even losing money every day because its production capacity is largely vacant. How can this make people feel comfortable?
At this time, people at the scene followed Chen Dong's questions and focused their attention on Lin Chen. They wanted to see what Lin Chen said?
“Apart from mobile phone lenses, are there any other mobile phone spare parts that are restricted from sale?”
Lin Chen asked a more critical question.
"Yes, in addition to mobile phone lenses, the current most advanced 65,000 TFT color LCD screens are also subject to sales restrictions.
We contacted the four major mobile phone LCD screen suppliers, Sharp, Hikasa, Sanxing, and LG, and finally found that we can only purchase up to 35 million 3.5-inch 65,000 TFT color LCD screens a year.
And one thing worth mentioning is that they also refuse to sell us large-size TFT color LCD screens above 3.5 inches.
In addition to mobile phone screens, there are also high-precision sensors, such as electronic gyroscope sensors, which have also seen purchase restrictions.
We contacted mobile phone accessories manufacturers such as Honeywell, Emerson, Bosch, Texas Instruments, Tongyong Electrical Appliances, and Siemens...
It was found that the number of high-end mobile phone sensors we can purchase does not exceed 35 million. "
"35 million again?"
Lin Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Obviously, the sales restrictions on mid- to high-end mobile phone parts that have affected the world are quite complete.
Not only the sales of mobile phone lenses and mobile phone screens are restricted, but also the sales of mobile phone sensors are restricted. The four major mobile phone giants really did not miss any opportunity to suppress Sugon Technology.
I am afraid that at this time, Sugon Technology's estimated annual sales volume is not 30 million a year, but 20 million a year.
So at this time, the number of mobile phone lenses, screens, and mid-to-high-end mobile phone sensors that Sugon Technology can purchase each year does not exceed 25 million, right?
It can only be said that Sugon Technology seems lucky to be able to maintain annual sales of 30 million units a year.
"It has affected all mid-to-high-end mobile phone accessories in the world. This is really bad news."
At this time, Rebus felt a headache when he heard that not only the mobile phone lens, but also the screen and electronic gyroscope were limited in supply.
After all, it doesn’t matter that the sales of a mobile phone lens are restricted. Now, the supply of many mid-to-high-end mobile phone spare parts is restricted. This means that Sugon Technology has too many difficulties to overcome.
“I think it’s better to enter the low-end mobile phone field and give up on the high-end mobile phone field for the time being.”
Rebus, who had a headache, proposed to give up the high-end mobile phone field first.
After all, high-end mobile phone spare parts cannot be purchased on a large scale. Even if they come up with super hot-selling high-end mobile phones, they will only lose money if the parts purchase volume cannot keep up.
