Chapter 537 Reverse Bundling Sales

[Let Ideal Mobile's R&D department evaluate first, and if possible, ask Samsung to give priority to providing us with mid- and low-end smartphone hardware]

Samsung intends to transfer its traditional mobile phone hardware to Ideal Technology. It seems that Samsung is ready to give up the traditional mobile phone market because its sales have dropped too sharply. Zhou Jing will not refuse to take over. Now Ideal Mobile Phone is the only one in the traditional mobile phone market. It would be better if Samsung could give priority to supplying some smart phone hardware to Ideal Mobile Phone at the same price.

In the short term, Ideal Mobile cannot escape the reality of being a comprador. Being a comprador is not an easy task. Building a stable supply chain is the foundation, and the second is to gradually bind with supply chain companies to gain advantages in delivery time and price, and even steal technology if possible.

The business world is like a battlefield, and being able to steal technology is a skill.

Bai Xiyao: [OK, this reverse bundling sale is too expensive, so I will ask Samsung to provide a few sets of hardware for the R&D department to evaluate]

Currently, Ideal smartphones use Samsung Electronics' hardware, but because Ideal smartphones have not yet been launched on the market and are a new force, they are not Samsung's priority supply option. It is beneficial for Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. to take the opportunity of transferring traditional mobile phone hardware to deepen cooperation with Samsung Electronics.

"what's up?"

After hearing Zhou Jing hang up the phone, Gu Jia returned to the bedroom with the child and asked.

"Samsung wants to transfer traditional mobile phone hardware to us."

Zhou Jing gently pinched the child's face and said.

"Such a big company actually wanted to cooperate with us."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Our company is not small anymore, call me dad."

Zhou Jing kissed the child's little hand.

Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. expects to sell more than 80 million traditional mobile phones in the second quarter, which will make domestic electronics factories run out of steam. Looking at the world, its sales volume alone is almost comparable to the peak sales of Samsung and Nokia, but of course its sales revenue cannot be compared with theirs.

"babababa"

The little girl couldn't stop talking and her saliva was flowing out from her shouting.

There was no time to play with the children in the morning, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to have breakfast, then took a shower and went to the company.

At Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., the personnel on duty for the day had arrived at the company to clean the offices around 8 a.m., and other people arrived at the company one after another after 8:30. Some of them arrived early to drink coffee in the lounge, play table tennis in the activity room, or go to work early.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Bai, good morning."

"morning."

When people from the company met Zhou Jing and Gu Jia, they greeted each other and Zhou Jing responded one by one.

"Give this to Director Li."

When he met someone from the R&D department, Zhou Jing asked them to hand over the latest test report on the smartphone to Li Jianwei, and then went to talk to the project director Wang Tao about the software needed by the chip design company.

"Let me make a plan first."

When Wang Tao learned that his boss was going to set up a chip design company, he was full of enthusiasm. Chips are related to whether smartphones can enter the high-end market. If they can design independent high-end chips, then it will be a natural thing for smartphones to enter the high-end market.

After work at nine o'clock, everyone in the company began to busy themselves with their own work. Zhou Jing went to the game studio to learn about the game under development.

Happy Landlord and Everyday Cool Run are currently in internal testing, while King's Call has completed preliminary development and is being optimized. Compared with King's Call, Zhou Jing is more optimistic about Happy Landlord and Everyday Cool Run. King's Call needs a lot of promotion to mature, while games like Happy Landlord and Everyday Cool Run do not require deliberate guidance of players, just the right hand will do.

"There is no problem with Happy Landlords. It can be put on the shelves at any time."

Qin Zhengyu introduced the game development situation to Zhou Jing.

"Put it on the shelves when it's ready. Otherwise, wait until the game studio moves to Changxin Building next week before putting it on the shelves. Make arrangements for the move this week and move in over the weekend."

Changxin Building is very close to the company's current address, diagonally opposite the current office building, so the relocation will not cause much inconvenience to employees.

"it is good."

Qin Zhengyu nodded and said.

It's time to build an office building in BJ. Zhou Jing returned to the office and checked nearby office buildings on the computer. There were entire office buildings for rent or sale within a one-kilometer radius, but there were no new ones. Considering the residence of the company's employees, Zhou Jing did not want to move the company too far away, but there were no newly built office buildings within a one-kilometer radius.

As a second choice, Zhou Jing set his sights on old buildings, giving priority to those that were for sale.

"I've seen this one up close before. It's so easy for such a big company to go bankrupt."

Gu Jia pointed to the advertisement for an office building for sale and said.

"Things change all the time. The bigger the company, the harder it is to solve capital chain problems."

Zhou Jing was not surprised. The domestic development has been good in the past two years. When the development was not good, companies went bankrupt one after another.

"How much would it cost to fully renovate an office building like this, inside and out?"

Gu Jia took a sip of water from the cup and said.

"It depends on the decoration requirements. A good decoration costs 600 to 700 yuan per square meter. If we calculate it based on more than 600 yuan, this building has 20 floors and each floor is 2,000 square meters. The decoration cost is less than 30 million yuan."

Zhou Jing's goal is an office building with 20 to 25 floors and a total area of ​​about 40,000 square meters. The main business of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is software development, including mobile phone systems and PC systems. A workforce of more than 3,000 people is enough.

"Two hundred million should be enough for the equipment and supporting facilities."

Gu Jia roughly calculated that buying an office building in BJ was not as expensive as he had imagined. The cost of decorating a 40,000 square meter office building was less than 1.1 billion yuan.

Zhou Jing selected three buildings in advance, and Gu Jia called for consultation. After finding out the details, they made an appointment to view the buildings.

Jinlin Capital launched its investment business last week and it has been developing rapidly because the first phase of investment target is projects with investment of less than 5 million. Zhou Jing called projects with investment of less than 5 million small projects. In fact, projects with investment of more than 4 million are not small. Take Xiaomi as an example. Last year, Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi, raised more than 40 million in the first round of financing for its smartphone business.

There are many projects that can be invested in with an investment amount of less than 5 million yuan for a single project, including technology projects, clothing, catering, furniture, etc. Jinlin has already found a suitable investment project. Investment manager Jiang Xinnan sent the project information to Zhou Jing's email. Zhou Jing took a look at it and agreed to invest.

The office building rented by P Station does not need to be renovated. One floor of 2,000 square meters is enough for P Station's development in the short term. After the formalities for renting the office building were completed, recruitment began. Zhou Jing asked two people who participated in the development of P Station to be responsible for the recruitment work of P Station. He also sent a financial staff member and a human resources staff member to assist. The company's establishment can be completed this week.

The morning passed quickly. There was nothing important at the company, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went home together for lunch. As soon as they got home, the child whined and crawled towards Gu Jia.

"Are you hungry?"

Gu Jia picked up the child and rubbed his belly and said.

"Forehead!"

The little girl stuck to Gu Jia looking for food.

"Xiao Zhou eats first."

Mother Gu said as she prepared the meal.

"Let's eat together later." Zhou Jing picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it first. He shook the watermelon in front of the child and asked, "Do you want watermelon or milk?"

The child was drinking milk, his eyes fixed on Zhou Jing, his chubby feet dangling in the air.

"Don't be greedy for her! You can only eat watermelon after you have had milk."

Gu Jia turned around and said.

After eating a piece of watermelon, Zhou Jing went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came out to kiss the head of the baby who was breastfeeding.

"Say dad is bad."

Gu Jia patted the child's butt and said.

After the child is full, Gu Jia puts him in the bassinet and pushes him to the dining table to eat.

"Now I weigh half a pound less."

Zhou Jing touched the baby's round belly and said to Gu Jia.

"You have a rich imagination." Gu Jia said this, but still went to weigh herself. She didn't lose half a pound, but she was indeed lighter than before she started feeding the child. "Chou Zhou can drink about 200 milliliters at a time now. Is that half a pound?" "Almost. One pound of water is 500 milliliters. The density of milk should be greater than that of water." Zhou Jing squatted down and clung to the child and said, "Call daddy."

"baba."

"Call mom."

Gu Jia continued.

"Mama."

"Call me grandma, grandma."

"wabo."

The little girl can already clearly call "Daddy" and "Mommy," but her voice is too babyish and the tone is not accurate.

"Zhou Zhou is really smart. It's relatively early for him to be able to call mom and dad so clearly at over four months old."

Gu Jia kissed the child and ate.

"If you teach it often, you will learn pronunciation early."

Zhou Jing put some vegetables into the bowl, picked up a steamed bun, and moved his chair next to the stroller to eat.

"Ho~"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jing and smiled.

"Just a silly smile."

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

"Children who love to laugh will have better luck. They should laugh more often."

Zhou Jing pinched the child's feet and said.

Gu Jia looked at her mother and smiled, "Are you tired during this period, mom?"

"I'm not tired. I can stay anywhere."

It is not difficult to coax her granddaughter. Mother Gu only needs to look after her every day. She will go back to Tangdu at the end of the month when her in-laws come, and she is very reluctant to leave.

Gu Jia said, "Mom will be back in Tangdu in July. The next time we meet, Zhou Zhou should be able to stand."

"Don't rush to let him walk. Just let him crawl more before he is one year old."

Mother Gu looked at the child and said.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Jing took the child to the bedroom to coax him. While Gu Jia helped Gu's mother wash the dishes, the child fell asleep during the nap. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia did not stay at home for long. They washed their faces and went to the company.

"This big red sun, don't you boys feel it on your skin?"

When they got outside, Gu Jia opened the parasol. The summer sun in the north was very strong, and one could feel the heat waves on the skin.

"Yes, I'm used to it."

Zhou Jing looked at his arm and said.

"Rough skin and thick flesh."

“Are these stockings cool?”

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and smiled. The stockings were selected by Zhou Jing. They were made of ice silk and wrapped Gu Jia's legs perfectly. Gu Jia was wearing a white shirt and a black A-line skirt today, with a pair of pearl pink sandals on her feet, which was quite tempting in the office.

"Not bad, you have good taste."

Gu Jia couldn't help but smile. The boy was very perfunctory when buying clothes for herself, but his taste in buying clothes for her was no worse than that of girls. No wonder there is a saying that boys understand girls the best.

The car was parked under a tree on the community road. It was still a bit stuffy inside the car even in the summer, so Zhou Jing opened the car door and turned on the air conditioner.

"It's half past twelve. We can go look at the office building."

Gu Jia got in the car and looked at the time.

Zhou Jing used his spare cell phone to call the owner of the office building to confirm.

Zhou Jing's requirements for office buildings are good conditions, good internal structure, and a higher price. After looking at the three office buildings that had been reserved, Zhou Jing temporarily decided on the one with the best conditions, Building C of Jingfu Software Park, which has 25 floors, 2,000 square meters per floor, and a total construction area of ​​50,000 square meters, which is enough for a large company.

The park where this office building is located was only put into use in 09. The office building is still very new and does not require major renovations. Only internal decoration will be enough.

The two parties reached a purchase and sale intention. The owner was very enthusiastic. It was not easy to trade a large office building worth tens of billions of dollars, and buyers with the ability to take it over were rare.

"There are only a handful of young people as young and outstanding as Mr. Zhou in BJ. I wonder what business Mr. Zhou is in?"

What the owner of the office building wanted to ask was what Zhou Jing's family did. Zhou Jing was so young, but there were actually quite a few people in BJ who could buy an office building worth over one billion yuan. However, those with such strength must have a family worth at least hundreds of billions, and they were definitely well-known people in BJ.

“Software and electronics.”

Zhou Jing considered whether to take the first business card, but after thinking it over, he didn't take it out.

“The software and electronics industries have been very hot in recent years.”

Seeing that Zhou Jing didn't want to reveal more identity information, the other party tactfully stopped asking.

One is buying with a sincere heart, and the other is selling with a sincere heart, neither of them beats around the bush. To get back to the point, Zhou Jing is not short of money and is not going to be a sucker. The price he offers will definitely not be higher than the newly developed office buildings in the nearby area, and will be slightly lower than the average transaction price of nearby second-hand office buildings last month.

The owner seemed a little embarrassed. This office building was built less than three years ago and has an excellent geographical location, less than one kilometer away from the nearest subway station. The price is definitely above the average price of second-hand office buildings.

The transaction amount exceeded 1 billion yuan, and both parties were very cautious in bargaining. After some haggling, the final price was 200 yuan higher than the recent average transaction price of second-hand office buildings. The down payment for purchasing an office building should not be less than 50%, and anyway, you can get a mortgage loan at any time after you get it. Zhou Jing was prepared to pay the full amount, but the other party was taking out a mortgage, so Zhou Jing did not pay the full amount. He continued to mortgage the amount owed to the bank, and prepared to pay the rest to the owner.

The procedures would take ten days to half a month, so Zhou Jing paid a deposit first.

"Spending money is like running water. Now it's not running water anymore, it's running like a river."

More than 1.3 billion yuan was spent in less than half an hour, and Gu Jia couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"This is an investment. In the next ten years, real estate will still be the leader of the country's economic development. There is no loss. If you buy now and sell it next year, you can make at least several million or even tens of millions."

Zhou Jing didn't feel bad at all about the tens of billions, as he would be able to make a lot of money by selling it in a few years.

"That's true."

After hearing what Zhou Jing said, Gu Jia no longer felt bad. She checked the prices in Jingfu Software Park in 09. In 09, the price per square meter was less than yuan. The price increase of office buildings brought the boss more than million yuan in profits.

Rich people really don't deserve any sympathy. Just now, Gu Jia was sympathizing with the boss whose huge company went bankrupt. In fact, it was just the company that went bankrupt, and the boss might still be richer than more than 90% of people.

After deciding to buy an office building, Gu Jia returned to the company and contacted a decoration company. The interior of the office building was 80% new, but the company's relocation needed a new look, at least it had to be beautified. After this relocation, Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. would not move to another location for ten or eight years unless something unexpected happened.

The testing of the Ideal smartphone software system has been completed. The R&D department of the Imagine series software system only needs to arrange two people to continue testing. The work of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. in developing the Ideal first-generation smartphone has been basically completed. There is no rush for the development of Ideal 2, and the mobile phone project can come to a temporary end.

Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. was established in March last year and launched the smartphone project in April. Over a year has passed since then and everyone in the company has worked very hard.

Instead of launching the development of Ideal 2, Zhou Jing plans to let the staff of Chuangzhi Technology relax and not add other major projects for the time being. The plan to work overtime on weekends starting in the third quarter will also be postponed.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiyao called Zhou Jing, and the cooperation between Ideal Technology and Samsung had come to a conclusion. Samsung agreed to the condition that Ideal Technology would accept Samsung's traditional mobile phone hardware while having priority access to smartphone hardware.

This reverse bundling sales plan is not disadvantageous to Samsung. After all, Samsung Electronics provides hardware to many Chinese companies, including all Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, so it doesn't matter which company it makes money from.

This will be very beneficial to Ideal Technology. With Samsung's stable supply chain, Ideal mobile phones can be on par with domestic competitors.
