Chapter 234 Prototype of Supply Chain

Just when Chen Weidong and the others were discussing their next action plan.

On the other side of the island country, Kazuo Hirai suddenly called.

He told Chen Weidong that Sony was about to sign a cooperation plan with Intel to provide them with high-quality LCD panels. At the earliest, it would be officially implemented in three months.

He also tried to put forward different opinions at company meetings, but the board of directors did not adopt them.

Because this resolution was personally issued by Sony's newly appointed CEO Norio Ohga, he, a regional manager, had no right to refute it.

Although Kazuo Hirai repeatedly assured Chen Weidong on the phone that it would never affect the supply of their LCD panels.

But this still made Chen Weidong a little annoyed.

If Intel and its contractors also use Sony's high-definition LCD panels, the advantage of Infinity's Dimensity Computer will be further reduced.

It seems that in the end we have to take the road of independent research and development, otherwise we may be stuck at any time.

He thought twice and made a surprising decision.

When Director Zhang received a call from Chen Weidong, asking him to tell domestic manufacturers that all the components needed for Tianji computers would be outsourced, his first words were: "What difficulties do you have? Do you need help?"

In Director Zhang’s opinion, Infinite Company has made great contributions to the country, but received almost nothing in return!

They provide a large number of precision instruments and technical support to domestic scientific research institutions. They help the domestic electronics industry recover and expand the international market. The machine tools they produce allow local companies to easily complete the work without spending much cost.

Industrial upgrading.....

They have paid so much, but they have to bear the pressure of the United States alone, with high retaliatory tariffs, expelling infinite companies from the market!

Now, Chen Weidong suddenly proposed that all components should be subcontracted to domestic manufacturers. Director Zhang immediately subconsciously thought that Infinite Company could not bear it.

Although Chen Weidong repeatedly explained that this was because Infinite Company planned to concentrate on improving the level of chip and liquid crystal technology to widen the gap with the West, Director Zhang was dubious about his words and hurriedly came to the company to talk to him.

Chen Weidong talked for a long time before leaving.

Not long after, Huanan City secretly informed some companies of the news: "Infinite Company will dismantle the entire production of Dimensity Computers and outsource them to various domestic manufacturers. Any manufacturer that is confident and has reached a certain standard

, everyone can come and participate in bidding.”

As soon as this news was revealed, it caused a huge sensation among domestic manufacturers.

Who doesn’t want to eat a piece of the fat computer?

In the past, everyone saw that the sales of Infinite Company's computers were so high that every manufacturer that helped them make a lot of money.

However, Tianji Computer is an exclusive product of Infinite Company. The standards of many parts are not the same as those of computer accessories on the market, so everyone can only look at them with greed.

On the other hand, there are no domestic manufacturers that can produce the processor chips and liquid crystal display devices, so they cannot enter this industry.

Therefore, everyone just thinks about it, and no one dares to say that they can produce all the accessories.

But now, Infinity Company has openly hung up this piece of fat for everyone to share.

And from the technicians' mouths, they learned that the most difficult processors and LCD controllers are produced by Infinite Company itself, and the subcontracted components are all components that are fully capable of being produced in China!

Soon, all the manufacturers who received the notice were extremely excited and began to organize manpower to develop and conduct trial production in small quantities.

After the one-month bidding ended, Infinite Company conducted rigorous testing on every component sample submitted by the manufacturers.

If the process is slightly insufficient, they will also send technical personnel to guide them in adjusting the production line.

But then, Chen Weidong opened their tender document and was slightly surprised.

In addition to the normal quotations of some manufacturers, the guaranteed prices of many manufacturers are estimated to be slightly higher than the cost. Among them, there are even several companies whose quotations are even lower than the cost!

When asked by Infinite Company, the manufacturer representatives all smiled and said: "Director Zhang has told us about your situation. In fact, no one will encounter difficulties. As long as we help each other, we will get over it!"

"Your company took the lead and opened up foreign markets before, and the profits we earned were much higher than domestic work orders, so now it's okay to make less!"

The answers from other manufacturers are similar.

They are the first manufacturers to cooperate with Infinite Company, and most of them are local companies in South China City. They have previously helped Infinite Company to OEM accessories such as graphics cards and sound cards.

In a very short period of time, huge profits were made.

In their opinion, Infinite Company is really too generous. It chews the hardest bones but leaves the meat for us to eat. Which company can compare with such high integrity?

Many of Infinite Company's expenses are visible, and they are even worried that if this continues, will Infinite Company suffer more losses?

In addition, they also received a hint from Director Zhang, asking them to support Infinity Company at the appropriate time.

With this mentality, when their product was trial-produced and the cost was calculated, they quoted a very low price when bidding.

Chen Weidong received a call from the department below and heard the whole story. He was moved and at the same time dumbfounded.

Finally, he asked the people below to make a ranking based on these bidding companies and the manufacturers with the highest support, who will be the strategic partners of Infinite Company in the future.

As long as their products are qualified, their products will be used first.

In addition, the price is also paid according to the normal OEM price.

He put down the phone, leaned on his office chair, looked at the night view of the city outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and was silent in thought.

Adversity reveals the heart.

Through a bidding process, I found some reliable friends among domestic manufacturers, which was a very unexpected gain.

However, during this period, I don’t know who spread rumors in the market, saying that Infinite Company’s chip production capacity is insufficient, and the processors produced in a hurry are shoddy, and international software vendors may not be compatible with Dimensity chips.

....Wait for the ambiguous news.

This makes some users feel a little worried when they want to buy a Dimensity computer, fearing that the computer will have some problems.

Chen Weidong soon learned of this incident.

In his opinion, whoever is most beneficial to these messy rumors is probably the one who released them.
