Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Enough with the polite words, it’s time to talk about something practical. Takehiko Inoue continued to say calmly: "Your Netac was facing sanctions from Singapore's Keret Company. When the supply of original memory semiconductors was completely cut off, we at Panasonic Electronics assisted Netac and helped Netac tide over the difficulties. For this reason, we We have also obtained the patent rights from Netac, which I think is a win-win result. However, I think we can continue to expand our cooperation.”

This Japanese guy was quite direct and didn't mince words. Gao Hongda didn't mince words either. He asked simply: "Mr. Inoue, please tell me directly. How can we expand cooperation?"

Takehiko Inoue nodded lightly and said: "The world is now a whole, and the market should be open. Our previous agreement stipulated that Panasonic's products can only be sold to South Korea, Taiwan and some Southeast Asian countries, and cannot be sold to China, I think, this is not conducive to fair cooperation between us."

Haha, it is obvious that he is not satisfied with the content of the previous agreement. He dislikes that his market is restricted. He wants to enter the Chinese market and compete with Langke. That is not possible. You are here. How can I eat alone?

Gao Hongda asked: "It seems reasonable. I wonder what the maximum storage capacity of Panasonic's USB flash drive is?"

Takehiko Inoue stretched out a finger and said: "We have broken through the 2G difficulty, thanks to the advancement of our memory component production technology. After all, only when the memory capacity is larger, the space of the USB flash drive will be larger."

Gao Hongda smiled and said: "You also know that the memory capacity our company requires you to provide has reached 2G. This is already the launch of your products, not the upper limit of Netac technology. I think you should focus your work. Focus on increasing the memory capacity instead of rushing to seize the partner market. In the future, USB flash drives will definitely exceed [-]G, and there is a lot of room for improvement! Moreover, you can also develop the European and American markets!"

Takehiko Inoue sighed and said: "You have provided products to a French trading company. They have held a press conference in the European and American electronics markets and promoted your products through major European and American media. If we go to seize the market, we will definitely offend the French company. commerce will then affect the sales of our other electronic products in Europe and the United States. Their anti-dumping bill is outrageous, and they are more likely to impose sanctions on us."

After hearing this, Gao Hongda said to himself: Good guys, if you don't dare to confront Zhang Danni's company head-on for fear of being sanctioned, then you will have to fight in China to steal food from me, right?

Of course Gao Hongda couldn't agree, so he shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Inoue's jokes. I'm just twenty years old and it's my first time to start a business. Although I have achieved great results, compared to the giant Panasonic, the gap between an ant and an elephant is like that between an ant and an elephant." , if I nod, it means that our previous efforts have been in vain, so please forgive my selfishness."

"Gao Sang's words are very sincere!" Inoue has no intention of giving up. "If we cannot cooperate fairly with Netac, it will be difficult for us to guarantee that the price of memory components will not rise significantly. After all, this semiconductor material is still in short supply."

Good guy, this is starting to become a threat!

Gao Hongda forced himself to calm down: "Haha, of course, this is your freedom. However, I heard that it is stated in the contract that the price increase during the one-year contract period shall not exceed 15% of the list price. If there is a breach of contract, it will not only affect Your company's reputation, and even your products can only be sold in Japan, because I have registered technology patents around the world, and even the name of the product."

To put it bluntly, if Panasonic dares to increase the price of components, then I will cut off your right to use patents.

Gao Hongda also urgently needs its own memory production line to be completed and put into production as soon as possible. It feels really uncomfortable to be stuck.

Takehiko Inoue shook his head and said: "We Japanese companies attach great importance to the spirit of contract, and of course we will not raise prices for your company in breach of contract! We will still maintain the original prices and will not change. However, we will lower prices for you in the Chinese market. China It is the world's largest electronic product market, and it is unrealistic to achieve an absolute monopoly, so we need to cultivate more USB flash drive manufacturers, which is also a way for our company to fulfill its commitment to Mr. Deng and support China's electronics industry."

Zhu Jinlun sneered and said: "You devil, you said it very directly, you don't have to beat around the bush! This is obviously to create competitors for us! Sure enough, it is still the old routine of training traitors to plunder China for you!"

Not only was Inoue not angry, he also said gently: "What this gentleman said is wrong. Let me reiterate, this is not robbery, but industrial assistance. I have worked in the China Marketing Department for more than ten years and know you very well." The common people are full of hatred towards Japan, which is understandable. After all, some unpleasant things have happened to our two nations. Here I would like to use an old Chinese saying to advise you, let the past go. We are businessmen, don’t let national sentiments affect our friendly cooperation!”
