Chapter 65 Price Reduction
Lei Jun took his assistant to the small conference room where Zhang Wenkai was.

Zhang Wenkai quickly instructed Lei Jun to sit next to him, and Zhou Yuya also sat on the other side of Zhang Wenkai, picked up a notebook and began to record.

Lei Jun sat down and said with a smile to Zhang Wenkai: "Mr. Zhang, how are you doing?" Then he put his hands on the table.

Zhang Wenkai felt a little resentful when he heard Lei Jun's tone. Presumably, he had some complaints about letting Lei Jun come to his company.

Zhang Wenkai is already familiar with such small details. Although he is not an old fritter, a small fritter can still be regarded as a famous one.

"I'm too busy to get away! Isn't this the fourth-generation wireless charger being developed!" After speaking, Zhang Wenkai looked carefully at Lei Jun with two eyes.

Zhang Wenkai's words brightened Lei Jun's eyes, and then he returned to a calm state. He looked at Zhang Wenkai and said, "I came here today because I have something very important to discuss with Chairman Zhang."

Seeing the light in Lei Jun's eyes, Zhang Wenkai roughly guessed what Lei Jun's main purpose was.

Obviously, it should be about the order, but because Xiaomi has not placed an order recently, it should be to negotiate with me, the price of the order.

"Our company plans to sign a batch of orders." Lei Jun continued.

Sure enough, it was for the order.

But Lei Jun's next words made Zhang Wenkai serious.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhang can lower the price of the wireless charger?" Lei Jun looked at Zhang Wenkai seriously and said.

It was Zhang Wenkai's plan to reduce the price of the wireless charger. Since Lei Jun proposed it today, it really fits his plan, but I don't know what price Lei Jun will give himself.

But Mr. Lei didn't mean to continue. He asked other questions, and he only heard Mr. Lei say: "Does Mr. Zhang know Moore's Law?"

Zhang Wenkai couldn't react to Lei Jun's opening the topic, but he still nodded.

The number of components that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit will double every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double. This is the content of Moore's Law.

Lei Jun nodded and said, "You are right. In other words, the upgrading of products means that the value of previous products will decrease." After Lei Jun finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Wenkai meaningfully.

Zhang Wenkai immediately understood what Lei Jun meant. He has developed three wireless chargers. What Lei Jun meant was that he had upgraded the wireless charger. Why didn’t the price of the previous wireless charger decrease?
Although Lei Jun spoke to Zhang Wenkai in a questioning tone, Zhang Wenkai didn't intend to explain anything to Lei Jun. Would it be impossible to tell Lei Jun his plan?

So Zhang Wenkai picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, and said to Lei Jun with a smile: "Our company has been planning this issue recently."

As soon as Zhang Wenkai finished speaking, Lei Jun's eyes lit up again, looking forward to Zhang Wenkai's next words.

"The price is definitely going to be lowered, but I just don't know how much is appropriate. Can Mr. Lei give me some advice." Zhang Wenkai continued.

How could an outsider intervene in this kind of price setting matter? Lei Jun also knew the reason for this, so he shook his head and said, "I don't have any good suggestions?"

Zhang Wenkai nodded, knowing that you would not suggest anything, and then said to Lei Jun: "I don't know, what price does Lei Dong plan to give for this batch of orders?"

As soon as Zhang Wenkai said his words, the atmosphere in the small conference room became a little tense, and even Lei Jun's assistant became serious.

This batch of orders is very important to Rice, because Rice's previous entry into overseas markets was not so smooth because it involved some patent issues, and Rice's mobile phones were not that advanced, so it was destined to not have any good results. .

And this time Lei Jun wants to rely on this wireless charger and smart housekeeper to enter the overseas market again, and the price of this order is definitely the top priority.

Lei Jun lowered his raised hands, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said expressionlessly: "We are planning to place a large order, and the price I can accept is five hundred yuan."

Five hundred yuan?It was cut in half at once, and the price was within Zhang Wenkai's acceptable range, but Zhang Wenkai was not stupid, so how could he agree immediately.

"The price of [-] yuan is a bit low. It's not like you don't know the advantages of this wireless charger, Mr. Lei." Although the price is acceptable, Zhang Wenkai still intends to raise it a bit, and the price should not drop too quickly.

The reason why wireless chargers can be sold at such a high price is because of monopoly. The price of any monopoly thing cannot be lowered. If the price is low, who will monopolize it?

If it can be monopolized, others will not be able to do it if they want to. No company in the world has this kind of technology. In this case, the price is not set at will.

Lei Jun didn't say anything, just sat there and didn't speak.

Seeing Lei Jun's appearance, Zhang Wenkai relaxed his body, leaned on the back of the chair, and said to Lei Jun with a smile: "I don't plan to take orders anymore, because our company has to make internal adjustments recently."

Just after Zhang Wenkai finished speaking, Lei Jun's back was a little stiff. At this time, Lei Jun became a little anxious. If he couldn't place this batch of orders, he would delay his overseas plans.

Lei Jun gritted his teeth hard, raised his head and hesitated, and said to Zhang Wenkai: "The price of [-] yuan is already my bottom line. I am not the only one who has the final say on the company, and the board of directors."

Lei Jun's words are very sincere. Indeed, Lei Jun is not the one who has the final say in the company, unlike Zhang Wenkai who holds all the company's shares by himself.

Since Mr. Lei had raised the price to [-] yuan, Zhang Wenkai naturally agreed, but he couldn't express it first.

Instead, he asked Mr. Lei calmly, "How many orders does Mr. Lei plan to place?"

This time Lei Jun didn't hesitate, and directly stretched out five fingers and said: "500 million sets of chargers, place an order at a price of [-] per set."

Now that Mr. Lei was so forthright, Zhang Wenkai didn't hesitate anymore, stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and said to Mr. Lei, "We are happy to cooperate."

Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief first, then slowly stood up and held Zhang Wenkai's hand together.

How could Zhang Wenkai not accept the order of 30 billion soft sister coins.

After shaking hands, Lei Jun did it again, thought for a while, and said to Zhang Wenkai: "Zhang Dong, what's the situation with your fourth-generation wireless charger?"

The news of the fourth-generation wireless charger is not a secret, and there is no need to keep relevant information. Since Lei Jun asked, Zhang Wenkai said it directly.

"This fourth-generation wireless charger has finally been developed through the efforts of a hundred researchers in our company, who have spent several days and nights and spent a lot of precious materials. Its function is the same as that of the previous three generations of wireless chargers. Twice." Zhang Wenkai exaggeratedly told Lei Jun.

Mr. Lei didn't believe what Zhang Wenkai said. With a hundred researchers, it's hard to say whether there are 100 people in your company. Of course, Mr. Lei pretended to listen carefully.

Of course, Zhang Wenkai is talking big. If he tells people that he has researched it simply, they will not believe it. It is better to make it more difficult. At least it can attract people's attention and say: "Huaxia XX company consumes It sounds so pleasing to the ear that the company has worked hard and finally developed a wireless charger'.

"Twice? 30 meters?" Lei Jun asked the question in his heart.

Zhang Wenkai nodded slightly.

Lei Jun's eyes were bloodshot in an instant, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Can I place an order for this?" Yes, Lei Jun regretted the previous order of 500 million sets.

Zhang Wenkai shook his head and said with great regret: "There are still some core programs that need to be tested and debugged, and they cannot be released to the market for the time being."

Sighing, Mr. Lei didn't know what to say. Moore's Law still has a time period. Your company's product functions have doubled in a few months, which is simply unscientific.

Seeing Zhang Wenkai's regretful expression again, Lei Jun really wanted to spray Zhang Wenkai's face with old blood. You have doubled the product's functions in such a short time, and you still have a regretful expression. It's really beeping.

Lei Jun turned his head aside and stopped looking at Zhang Wenkai's expression, he was really pissed off.

"Zhang Dong, how is the graphene battery in your company?" Lei Jun still couldn't help asking this question.

Lei Jun also saw Huaxia Xinke's graphene battery technology conference on the news, and came here today to inquire about the specific situation and see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

Zhang Wenkai shook his head again, and said with a sigh: "The progress is not very smooth, and some technical cores are still being overcome!"

There is no core to break through, and the reason why it was not produced is not because of lack of people.

"Oh!" Lei Jun nodded, stood up and continued, "In this case, let's sign the contract!"

Next, the contract was drawn up, and the order contract was directly signed with Lei Jun. Seeing Lei Jun leaving, Zhang Wenkai smiled and said to Zhou Yuya: "Xiaoya, the news will be released tomorrow, saying that our first three generations of chargers will be replaced by The price of each set is [-] yuan."

Zhou Yuya, who was standing beside Zhang Wenkai, nodded and wrote it down in the notepad.

At this moment, Zhang Wenkai suddenly remembered about Ning Yu, and asked Zhou Yuya, "Xiaoya, why did you arrange for Ning Yu?"

Hearing Zhang Wenkai's question, Zhou Yuya pouted and said angrily, "Didn't you let me be the Minister of Administration? I don't have time to be by your side, so I brought Ning Yu here, why? No Satisfied?"

"Uh! No." Zhang Wenkai didn't know what to say about it for a while.

"It's okay. Ning Yu is serious about her work. It's just a matter of getting used to it by your side." Zhou Yuya adjusted her mentality and continued softly.

But immediately changed his tone and said: "Don't take advantage of Ning Yu, she is a big girl."

"Zhou Yuya, what do you think of me, please don't be so dirty." Zhang Wenkai stared at Zhou Yuya and said.

And Zhou Yuya just stuck out her little tongue, and stopped talking.
