Chapter 924 It's not my problem, it's your problem!
"Our eight companies make annual profits ranging from one to two billion U.S. dollars to five to six billion U.S. dollars. Our total assets are in the hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars. How much wealth does Optimus Communications have? Even if we lose money, we can still compare.
Qingtian Communications will last longer and will survive Qingtian Communications!"
Seeing that Ryo Doi, Arun Rao and others already understood what he meant, Korokuro Mori clenched his fist, slammed it on the table, and said sternly.
He wanted to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Ryo Doi and Arun Rao nodded in agreement. Indeed, apart from having more wealth and being able to afford compensation, they really had no other advantages they could gain to compete with Qingtian Communications.
There is no way around it.
But then, Doi Ryo changed his mind and said with some uncertainty: "Although the truth is this, can the head office allow us to lose money to compete with Qingtian Communications?"
"You have to agree even if you don't agree, unless they are willing to accept the outcome of losing the Chinese market." Korokuro Mori said without hesitation, "Furthermore, the head office has made so much money in China, and it's time to spit out some.
"
Speaking of this, Mori Korokuro looked at Doi Ryo, Arun Rao, and Wayne. All four of them had an unpredictable and tacit look in their eyes.
In fact, they are not sure how important the Chinese market is to the parent company, and how much resources the parent company is willing to spend to maintain the Chinese market. But what they are sure of is that the Chinese market is extremely important to a few of them.
, even life is at stake.
There are not many executives who sit in their position in the entire company. It can be said that they are a carrot and a pit.
If they lose the Chinese market and return to the headquarters in despair, even a person with a background like Mouri Korokuro may have to sit on the bench for a while, and his power will definitely not be the same as it is now.
It can even be said that it directly cuts off their possibility of reaching higher levels of the company in the future.
Therefore, no matter whether the company wants to invest a lot of resources in the Chinese market to compete with Qingtian Communications, they must work hard to convince their respective companies to agree to do so for the sake of their professional lives.
Furthermore, the head office has not made money in the Chinese market before. The annual turnover earned by their eight companies is basically around 10 billion to 20 billion. If Qingtian Communications did not disrupt the situation this year, they would even
We are confident that we can achieve a turnover of 24 billion.
Now the head office spits out some.
In addition, if we can defeat Qingtian Communications and completely defeat Qingtian Communications, then the Chinese market will still belong to the parent company, and the parent company will still be able to get a share of China's rapidly growing economic aggregate and earn more money every year.
So all the investment now is worth it!
It’s also a must!
They are also doing this for the good of the company!
Thinking of this, the eyes of Doi Ryo and others became clearer and clearer, and their expressions became more determined!
"Now that everyone has reached a consensus, let me throw some light on it and share some thoughts on specific measures." Mouri Korokuro suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be calm.
Since the rise of Qingtian Communications, he has been feeling anxious and even desperate at night, but at this moment, he can finally see a little bit of light.
"First of all, there is the price issue. I think we should reduce the price by another 10% to 15%, that is, reduce the price to between US$240 per line and US$230 per line. Although this price is lower than Qingtian
The price of US$210 per line of communication is much higher, but as a world-famous communication company, I feel that with our technology and brand effect, it is worth so much more than the price of Qingtian Communication Switch, and it is also quite attractive.
Competitive." Mouri Korokuro said.
Ryo Doi nodded slightly and agreed. He had already lowered the price of the switch to US$260 to US$250 per line before, and now it would be no pressure for him to drop it by another US$20.
Until then, the faces of Arun Rao and Wayne, who had always expressed support for Mouri Koroku, suddenly became a little unnatural.
Arun Rao frowned and then said: "Mr. Mauli, I have no objection to reducing the price by 10% to 15%, but lower the price to between US$240 per line and US$230 per line.
, this may not be difficult for you two, but for us, Lucent and Nortel Canada, it is a bit too difficult, after all, our current selling price is still around 320 US dollars."
Seeing Arun Rao speak, Wayne on the side also took the opportunity to quickly nod his head to express his embarrassment.
You must know that the price of their previous switches was basically around US$350 per line. This US$320 per line is already the result of a huge price reduction.
If according to Mori Korokuro's statement, it is reduced to between US$240 per line and US$230 per line, it is basically equivalent to a price reduction of 25% to 30%. This price reduction is too large and does not meet the requirements.
Koroku Mori said before that it was about 10% to 15%.
Mori Korokuro glanced at Arun Rao, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his lips, "I think if you want to compete with Optimus Communications, I'm afraid Lucent and Nortel of Canada, the switch manufacturers
The price can only be reduced to this extent! After all, Rao, I believe you also know very well how the premiums of Lucent, Nortel of Canada, and other European companies come from?"
Being snatched away so unceremoniously by Mouri Korokuro, the expressions of Arun Rao and Wayne both changed.
Even Arun Rao had a vague feeling that Koroku Mori was actually taking revenge on him!
In retaliation for him just going off the rails and deliberately stepping down for Ryo Doi.
But he had to admit that what Mouri Korokuro said made sense. The reason why their switches could be sold was eighty to one hundred dollars more expensive than Fujitsu and Towa Electric, two products from Towa countries, which was nearly 100% more expensive.
The 30% premium is not because their switch technology and materials are really much better than these two Japanese and Japanese companies.
It is more because the productivity of Fujitsu and Towa Electric is far from enough to satisfy China's thirst for switches.
Those post and telecommunications offices cannot buy cheap switches from Fujitsu and Towa Electric, but they still want to develop. They have no choice but to go to them.
The remaining six European and American companies have also formed an alliance of interests with each other outside of their eight alliances, agreeing to advance together and retreat together, and to unify prices.
In other words, those post and telecommunications offices that want to purchase switches from them will have to accept a price that is about 30% higher than that of Fujitsu and Towa Electric.
After all, the Eastern Japanese are dwarfed by these countries, especially the United States. Moreover, their production has indeed reached its peak. There are so many orders that they can't finish the work even if they work overtime. It is impossible to meet all the needs of the China Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
Therefore, we just let these six companies sell their products at high prices.
But things are different now. Qingtian Communications has emerged and has a terrifying production capacity of 3.6 million lines per year.
In this case, if they continue to maintain high prices and cannot offset the price advantage of Optian Communications, and there is no competition with Optian Communications, then they will definitely be the first to die.
"You two Japanese companies, if the price drops to between 240 US dollars per line and 230 US dollars per line, you may still be able to make a profit, or at least maintain your capital, but what do you want us to do?"
Wayne couldn't help but said.
As we all know, the goods produced by Eastern Japanese companies are indeed much lower in cost than those produced by European and American companies.
In other words, if they sell switches at a price of US$240 per line to US$230 per line, they will definitely lose money, and they will have to lose at least about US$30 per line. One device will cost at least
Ten thousand lines is equivalent to three hundred thousand dollars.
This is not a small amount. If the six companies can maintain their current market share, which is expected to sell 1.8 million lines a year, then the total is 54 million US dollars.
"This is not my problem, it is your problem." Korokuro Mori said unceremoniously, and looked at Wayne with a look that not only contained a hint of disdain, but even a hint of madness!
This era belongs to the Eastern Japanese era, an era when Eastern Japanese products are invincible, and an era when Eastern Japanese people are crazy about buying and buying, and even want to buy from the United States.
Starting from the Osaka World Expo in 1970, Towa announced to the world that not only did Tobo never have hope as MacArthur said, and could only be reduced to a fourth-rate country, it instead became a world-class economic power, even in the 20th century.
The last thirty years of this century and the twenty-first century belong to the Japanese!
For example, Toyota, Honda and other Japanese cars entered the U.S. market in large numbers in the 1970s and 1980s, defeating the traditional American car overlords, Ford and General Motors.
Ford was very unconvinced by this and believed that Toyota and Honda had used very unethical means to defeat them.
Later, after an investigation, economists concluded that it was natural for Toyota and Honda to surpass Ford and General Motors.
For example, the average absenteeism rate of American workers is 3.1%, and can reach a maximum of 10.5%, while the absenteeism rate of Japanese and Japanese companies is generally a terrifying 0!
Yes, no absenteeism!
Moreover, the defective product rate of Eastern Japanese companies is only about one-tenth of that of American companies.
Plus cheaper labor costs.
In other words, with the same cost, Eastern Japanese companies can produce products that are much cheaper than American companies!
Mori Korokuro's words really made Arun Rao and Wayne speechless.
Arun Rao was about to say something, but who knew that Koroku Maori actually said something shocking again: "You two! You must know that the price will be reduced from 240 US dollars per line to 230 US dollars per line.
In the meantime, this may be just the beginning, and eventually we may have to lower the price to 220 US dollars, or even 200 US dollars! After all, who dares to say that Qingtian Communications will not be able to increase the price based on the current 210 US dollars.
Continue to lower prices?”
Hearing this, Arun Rao's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't even bother to express his anger at Mouri Korokuro's attitude just now. These words really frightened him.
He thought for a few minutes, and finally couldn't agree that what Mouri Korokuro said made sense.
In addition, you should know that when Qingtian Communications turned on the 04 machine and passed the verification ceremony, the price sold to the major post and telecommunications offices in the Central Plains Province was US$200, which was ten US dollars less than the current price sold to the Haidian Bureau!
He can conclude that once Qingtian Communications really starts fierce competition with them, when they lower their prices, Qingtian Communications will also lower their prices.
By then, the price may really drop to US$220, or even US$200.
"If we really keep the price at this price, our company will probably lose $60 for every first-line switch sold, which will double the price." Arun Rao said bitterly.
If the loss per line doubles, the total loss will naturally double, reaching 180 million US dollars.
"That's why I said, first lower the price to between US$240 per line and US$230 per line, so that our respective head offices can have a buffer."
As he said this, a cold and cruel look flashed across Mouri Korokuro's eyebrows.
Doi Ryo and others were stunned for a moment, and then shuddered involuntarily, feeling a chill all over their bodies. Mouri Korokuro was obviously trying to deceive the head office.
The idea is to let the head office invest real money first. If it really can't defeat Qingtian Communications by then, the head office is reluctant to give up on the Chinese market and does not want to let those who have already invested.
Capital becomes a sunk cost, and it will naturally be forced to increase resource investment again.
By then, naturally, they will agree to lower the price to two hundred and twenty dollars, or even two hundred dollars.
But Ryo Doi and the other three nodded unanimously in agreement.
Compared with the losses of the head office, they are more concerned about their own position and whether they will go back to sit on the bench and become insignificant employees who can be bullied.
"Furthermore, I have to say that the head office makes too much money. Although our Dongwa company's switches used to cost US$300 per line and European and American companies used US$400 per line, the net profit was only about 30%.
But if you include installment interest, the actual profit of the head office is about 80%."
For every 100 yuan invested, you can earn 180 yuan, with a net profit of 80 yuan. In addition, the switch is a large-scale transaction that can easily reach hundreds of millions, so this profit is terrifyingly high!
"Now, even if the price is lower, or even a lot of losses, but if you include the installment interest, you should still be able to avoid losing money." Mouri Korokuro comforted everyone.
But who knew, after hearing this, the three of them looked at Mouri Korokuro in surprise.
Not to mention the Japanese companies that can barely break even if they lower their prices to US$240 to US$230 per line, and only lose US$30 per line at US$200.
Chapter completed!
