"What are you talking about? Isn't this what I should do?" Zhang Jun shook his head with a smile, and then asked Wu Hao: "Why on earth do you have to call us over to eat lunch with you?"
Nothing to do, just a casual chat with you. As he spoke, Wu Hao looked at Yang Fan and asked, "I heard that many people within the company have been discussing and wondering why our company doesn't directly build cars."
Hearing Wu Hao's question, Yang Fan stopped his chopsticks, then nodded at Wu Hao and said: "There has been this noise recently, but it is not a whim or someone's malicious move.
Isn't this B Asia's self-driving car that won the Car of the Year award launched by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and its sales are booming. It has occupied the top spot in the new energy and self-driving car sales list for more than a year in a row.
So naturally there are people in the company and the R&D department who can't help but complain and feel grievances. It is obvious that the autonomous driving technology used by B-Asia Automobile is developed by us, the new lithium battery it uses is also ours, and even the on-board intelligent system is also ours.
Since these key technologies are ours, why are they the ones who win the awards and make money? "
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Zhang Jun also nodded and said: "This kind of voice did not appear recently, but has always been there. It's just that this B Asia Automobile award was the catalyst."
So you want to get rid of BIA Auto and build your own car? Wu Hao asked the two of them.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wu Hao continued: "Tang Fusheng from B Asia Automobile called me and asked me, saying that he had received news that we were going to get rid of them and build our own cars.
It took me a while to explain and calm down. "
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun frowned and said, "Do we need to explain and report to him what we are doing? Does he really think that we are the kind of supplier who can be bullied by them?
I think they shouldn't be indulged in this matter, and they should be beaten. Aren’t they afraid of us building cars? Then why don’t we act like this to scare them?
Of course, if the fakery comes true and we really build a car, I will agree with both hands. "
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao nodded helplessly with his chopsticks, then smiled and shook his head: "I'm just telling you, why is this voice getting louder? It turns out the root cause is you.
B Asia Automobile has paid us a high patent fee for using our technology, and it has also paid us fees for using it in our system. As for batteries, we have a large number of battery orders coming from them, and they pay us every year. Brought very considerable profits.
In this case, why should we build the car ourselves? It's not the same as leaving it to them.
In fact, you can carefully calculate the market car prices and costs? You will find that their profits are not as generous as the outside world imagines.
So from this aspect, they didn't take much advantage.
Secondly, the cost of building a car is not only the factory building, but also related equipment and various raw materials and parts, involving the entire automobile industry chain.
Now that so many manufacturers are gathering in the automobile industry, it can be said that the automobile industry has created a big bubble. It is obviously not wise for us to enter at this time.
Instead of this, why don't we become technology suppliers like H Wei? We produce technology and products, and let them work for us willingly.
The income this brings is no less than building and selling our own cars, so why build cars? "
Speaking of this, Wu Hao slowed down and said: "Well, I think you should also know? What is the purpose of my doing this? Only by being bound to many interest groups can we and our company be as stable as Mount Tai."
If others want to target us? Or to attack us, they must also consider the chain consequences it will bring.
As for Tang Fusheng and B Asia Auto? They have indeed been a little too complacent recently and need to be hammered down. "
Hearing what Wu Hao said? Zhang Jun immediately became more energetic: "Shall I just say it? It must be beaten carefully? Otherwise, he really thinks that all of us will be at his mercy."
Wu Hao smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said to Zhang Jun: "Let's do this, you inform them in a few days and say that our battery factory system and production equipment need to be upgraded, so starting from next month, their battery supply order quantity Reduce by 20%.”
20% is too little, I think it’s at least 50%. Zhang Jun raised five fingers and suggested.
Wu Hao looked at Zhang Jun's fleshy palms, smiled and shook his head: "No, just 20%, these 20% are enough for him to feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, in this way, they would not be able to find any flaws.
If it's 50%, it's obvious that we're targeting them, which will easily push them into trouble and prevent them from making some small moves to retaliate against us.
You need to know that many of our products currently have components produced by their foundries. "
What if they also reduce the supply of our parts accordingly? Yang Fan interrupted and raised his worries.
Wu Hao smiled and waved his hands: "No, they don't dare.
If they had any sense at all, they wouldn't do it. After reducing the supply, they will naturally realize the problem, so for the sake of production and market stability, they will definitely be eager to repair the relationship with us.
Of course, if they really do that, we are not afraid. There are many similar foundries. If they do this, it will be like destroying their own jobs. "
Hearing his explanation, both Zhang Jun and Yang Fan nodded. Zhang Jun responded: "I will inform them in a few days. No matter what, at least make some appearances and preparations."
"Well, then you can tell the other party tactfully that the cost of raw materials and scientific research labor is rising. The current supply price is too low. We need to study appropriate price adjustments."
The current price is indeed a bit low. Should the price be raised? How high is appropriate? Zhang Jun nodded, and then asked Wu Hao.
Twenty to thirty percent, maybe. If it’s too high, they won’t agree to it. We have to do this bit by bit. Wu Hao replied with a smile.
"How about we also learn from those memory manufacturers and have a fake fire. In this way, the price increase will not be a matter of course." Yang Fan couldn't help but suggest.
This is a good approach, as it gives us legitimate excuses to maintain share reductions, price increases, etc. Zhang Jun's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said excitedly.
Wu Hao glanced at Yang Fan speechlessly, he could really think of such a damaging method.
But this doesn't seem to be impossible. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but warn him while nodding: "Be careful, don't be too big."
