Chapter ninety-fifth open and secret struggle
Zhang Zhai's words were obviously beyond the expectations of Ren Zhengfei and others.
They never expected that Zhang Zhai would reject this seemingly free money offer.
"Zhang always thinks that 4 billion is too little? If the price is not suitable, we can continue to negotiate." Ren Zhengfei pondered for a while and said.
Zhang Zhai shook his head, "Mr. Ren, you misunderstood. The price is not the key, but the exclusive right to supply is impossible, even for one year."
These words made Ren Zhengfei, Lei Jun and others look at each other in shock.
Among them, Lei Jun thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Zhang, you should understand that solid-state batteries are not valuable. What is valuable is that they can distance us from other companies. If you don't give us the exclusive right to supply, then this
Things don’t mean much to us.”
Zhang Zhai understands what Lei Jun and others mean. Applying solid-state lithium-ion batteries to new mobile phones or new electric vehicles can greatly enhance the competitiveness of these companies and directly defeat their competitors.
But the premise is that they must have exclusive rights. For this exclusive right, they are willing to pay a high price, because they can easily earn it back later.
Zhang Zhai nodded and shook his head.
"Mr. Lei, it is true that as you said, without exclusive rights, solid-state lithium-ion batteries cannot increase the competitiveness of your company. However, if you do not want to be widened by other companies, I believe you will still want solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
of."
Zhang Zhai smiled calmly, the initiative was in his hands.
He was determined to defeat Lei Jun and others.
If you don't buy your competitors, you have to buy them. If you don't want to be distanced by your competitors and eliminated by the market, you can only buy them.
As for all mobile phone manufacturers uniting to fight Zhang Zhai and not buying his solid-state batteries, that is simply impossible.
Therefore, the current situation is that if you want to buy it, you have to buy it, and if you don’t buy it, you will be forced to buy it by others.
Lei Jun and others obviously understand this very well.
Ren Zhengfei sighed, his tone a little helpless but also full of approval: "Mr. Zhang is really a hero who comes from a young age, and he has taken us old guys to death."
Zhang Zhai smiled slightly and said nothing.
"I finally understand that it is impossible to get even the slightest advantage from Mr. Zhang." Lei Jun also said the same.
"Then, Mr. Zhang, let's talk about purchasing batteries."
"Okay." Zhang Zhai nodded.
"The price of solid-state lithium-ion batteries has three levels. Calculated based on standard mobile phone batteries, a one-time purchase of less than 5 million will cost 300 yuan each, a one-time purchase of more than 5 million will cost 280 yuan, a one-time purchase of less than 10 million will cost 280 yuan, and a one-time purchase of more than 15 million will cost you.
240 yuan each.”
Zhang Zhai said that he had already calculated the price.
After listening to Zhang Zhai's quotation, the four of them, Ren Zhengfei and others, became relatively silent.
No one spoke, everyone was weighing the gains and losses in their hearts.
Zhang Zhai was not in a hurry, took a sip of water, and quietly waited for the four people's replies.
He knew in his heart that the price was a bit high.
An ordinary 3,000 mAh battery costs about 30 yuan, but at this time, Zhang Zhai offered a price of 300 yuan, which suddenly increased the price tenfold, which was simply terrifying.
But, is the price high?
For example, if you were asked to pay an extra three hundred yuan so that your mobile phone could be used for a week without charging, would you be willing to accept it?
Most people would certainly be willing to accept it.
Well, although this price is high, it is definitely not unacceptable.
Therefore, Zhang Zhai is not afraid of their rejection.
About three minutes had passed, and it was obvious that the price given by Zhang Zhai made them hesitate.
Lei Jun frowned tightly, as if there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Ren Zhengfei put his fingers on his temples and weighed it in his mind.
finally,
"Mr. Zhang, is there any possibility of lowering this price? Your price has doubled tenfold this time, which is really hard to accept." Lei Jun smiled bitterly,
"Xiaomi has always been on the path of high cost performance. Now the cost of batteries has increased tenfold, which will almost squeeze out Xiaomi's already low profits."
"Mr. Lei, higher costs can only produce higher profits, and it is absolutely impossible to reduce them."
Zhang Zhai shook his head decisively, didn't he understand the nature of these people? How could they sell it for 300 yuan if he had sold it for 300 yuan? It was possible to add 500 to 600 yuan to the original price of the mobile phone.
.
There will always be people who buy it. After all, five or six hundred yuan is not something you can't afford.
When Lei Jun heard Zhang Zhai's resolute attitude, he rubbed his head and felt a little headache.
Then, he didn't know what to think, gritted his teeth, and actually made the decision first.
"Mr. Zhang, your price is acceptable to Xiaomi! And I am willing to place an order for 10 million solid-state batteries on behalf of Xiaomi. However, I have a small request. Can Mr. Zhang promise to supply Xiaomi first?"
This time, finally no four people came together to raise conditions. Lei Jun just mentioned Xiaomi.
Zhang Zhai glanced at Lei Jun, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"Everything has a first-come, first-served basis. I agree with this in principle."
Zhang Zhai understood what Lei Jun meant, it was just a time difference.
Completing Xiaomi's order first means that all of Xihe Technology's solid-state lithium-ion battery production will be supplied to Xiaomi in a short period of time.
Ten million is not a small number. Normally, it may take up to one or two months to complete this order.
This is an excellent opportunity for Xiaomi.
As expected of Lei Jun, Zhang Zhai admired in his heart, he was decisive and able to seize the opportunity. If this kind of person doesn't make money, who will make it?
Ren Zhengfei was still thinking when he heard Lei Jun's words and immediately felt bad.
He immediately realized what Lei Jun had planned.
I secretly thought it was going to be bad!
Xiaomi has always been a strong competitor of Huawei. If Xiaomi can really seize this time difference, it may be able to quickly close the gap between the two.
Thinking about the situation where Xiaomi's new mobile phones equipped with solid-state lithium-ion batteries will become very popular in the market in the next month or two, but Huawei still has no batteries available, Ren Zhengfei felt a little bit in his heart.
However, despite the overwhelming emotions in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
He seemed very indifferent and said with a smile: "Huawei is willing to place an order of 15 million yuan. How about Mr. Zhang supplying goods to Huawei first?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhai felt happy in his heart, but said hesitantly on his face.
"That's okay, it's just Mr. Lei's side..."
Lei Jun turned his head and looked at Ren Zhengfei, his eyes changed a little, as if there were sparks popping out, and the war was about to break out!
Zhang Zhai was actually happy that the two men were actually fighting. After all, the fishermen benefited from the fight between the snipe and the clam.
However, how could it be possible for these two old foxes to let Zhang Zhai take advantage of them?
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Lei Jun turned his head, smiled and said to Zhang Zhai: "Since Mr. Ren is also anxious to get it, I think Mr. Zhang will supply it to both of us at the same time."
"Since Mr. Lei, you said so, of course there is no problem."
Zhang Zhai smiled and seemed not to care at all.
However, these two companies may be disappointed.
The production of solid-state lithium-ion batteries is definitely not something that just two companies can capture.
If you want to hold back Xihe Technology with large orders, you are really wrong.
Zhang Zhai will let them know how to write "Tian Zhen".
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhai looked at Ren Zhengfei and Lei Jun and smiled even brighter. These are both rich men.
"So, Mr. Zhang, are you happy to cooperate?"
Lei Jun stood up and stretched out his hand.
