Chapter 63: Doing Big Business
While Qi Xin was feeding the kitten and thinking about how to repay this huge favor, Su An was already sitting at the head table with a large table of delicacies from all over the world.
This seat shows the dignity of the person sitting and the respect of everyone present for him.
"These 4,000 monitors can barely last a holiday." When someone said this, they were obviously complaining that Su An's delivery was too late.
Su An had made a clear agreement before that the goods in our hands could not appear in the Zhongguancun hypermarket.
This means that everyone must transport these goods to places outside the capital.
And this involves transportation, especially during the National Day holiday.
The time spent on the road cannot be compared with normal days.
If there are too many cars leaving Beijing and a big traffic jam occurs, this is also a very reasonable thing.
Deduct today, and then deduct the time on the road.
By the time it reaches channels outside the capital, it will probably be the tail end of the holidays.
"Cough, cough..." Someone quickly shouted to signal his companions not to talk nonsense.
This is not an ordinary supplier, not the kind of common businessman who looks unhappy and just needs to find another one.
Meeting such a supplier even once in a lifetime is already a huge adventure, even more rare than winning the lottery ten times.
Therefore, you must be careful when speaking every word.
But you can't offend a noble person who can make you rich and famous because of your unintentional complaints.
"Brother Su, can we normalize our supply, such as setting a fixed day every week?" As soon as Liu Tong opened his mouth, he wanted to ask Su An to supply him once a week.
This kind of best-selling product can clear out the inventory immediately with a price increase. For greedy businessmen, the more the merrier.
"Every week? Boss Liu is joking, I don't have a factory to prepare goods for everyone!" When the word factory was mentioned, Su An also had some thoughts in mind.
Establishing an LCD production factory, as long as it is not an LCD panel production factory, actually does not cost much money.
However, if you cannot produce LCD panels yourself, you must completely rely on current era panel manufacturers for supply.
It seems like I can't make much money, after all, it's too easy to get stuck.
In the age of the Internet explosion, when mobile phones have become a must-have consumer product for everyone, how many people will know that many of Apple's mobile phone products and many Android manufacturers are the same supplier of LCD panels.
It is obviously a product provided by a manufacturer, but the quality of the product can be judged by the naked eye.
Perhaps, some people will ridicule that many Android manufacturers are not willing to spend a lot of money to buy good screens.
However, what everyone doesn’t know is that even if Android manufacturers want to buy a mobile phone screen that is as standard as Apple’s, they may not be able to buy it even if they spend a little more money.
As a giant with a dominant market position, Apple can completely eat up the production capacity of LCD panel manufacturers with just one mouth.
These production capacities are those of top-notch mobile phone screens.
When the best-quality products are taken over by Apple, the mobile phone screens that other manufacturers can eat are already one level behind Apple before they leave the factory.
If I really set up an assembly factory, I will naturally not be able to get top-quality products based on my obscure background.
At that time, the money spent will not be less than others, but the quality presented will not be much different from others.
And once this kind of product, which is much worse in quality but about the same price, is put into the market, consumers are not fools.
No one's money comes from the strong wind. They will use cash to make the most cost-effective and correct choice.
But what if...
If you purchase all the spare parts across time and space from 2022, and then assemble them in the factory in 2002, this seems to be a solution to the problem.
However, this involves a production capacity issue.
If the monthly production capacity is only 1,000 units, it is only 12,000 monitors a year, which does not seem to attract excessive attention from others.
If production capacity soars, market share will definitely increase, which will attract the attention of the entire industry.
Once we reach this step, we must explain a question that everyone will ask: Where do the LCD panels of these LCD monitors come from? From which manufacturer?
If you can't see shipment records in other manufacturers' annual reports, or if the panel manufacturer's shipment records don't match the Su'an factory's shipments, then you'll be in trouble.
It is clear that the other party only sold 10,000 panels, but it shipped 1 million LCD monitors. This cannot be explained in any way.
But if you want to avoid this problem, you can only purchase the entire production line from 2022, and then open your own LCD panel production line in the current era.
This production line is not as difficult as the chip industry. As long as you have money and plenty of resources, you can get it.
However, if you want to build an LCD production line, even if you purchase a 2008 panel production line, you will need to invest at least tens of billions.
"My little brother has great magical powers. How can a small factory compare with your magical powers?
Due to the rules of the world, we cannot ask you about the source of this product.
But, after all, this is a big-money business, we can assure you.
No matter how much goods you can get, we people can sell them to all parts of the country cleanly and without leaving any trace." Since Liu Tong met Su An, he has no feeling for the original counter business.
The first time Su An came to sell mobile phones at his counter, Liu Tong still made a very funny little move.
At that time, the money and goods were already cleared, but when Su An refused to leave with a hesitant look on his face.
Liu Tong actually subconsciously put his phone in the drawer and quickly locked it.
Such small movements, interpreted from a psychological perspective, represent inner resistance.
It reflects that at that moment, Liu Tong did not want to hand over the wealth he had obtained under any circumstances.
At that time, it was just a mobile phone.
Nowadays, things are no longer what they used to be.
More than 2,000 mobile phones and more than 6,000 LCD monitors.
There is an old saying that goes: "It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!"
Now Boss Liu is already a rich man who is used to eating big fish and big meat, so how could he be willing to go back and eat cornbread again?
"Brothers, go and buy the goods with confidence. We brothers will guarantee that we can sell them all.
Even if you buy another batch of mobile phones, we can guarantee that we will sell as many as we have." After the last batch of mobile phones were released, the channel dealers have given new feedback and hope to ship another batch of mobile phones.
Since the sales are so good and since it is such a profitable business, naturally some people hope to continue it.
Looking at the longing looks on everyone's table at the dinner table, Su An did not respond immediately. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time on it.
Su An's action is just a routine action for young people in the age of the Internet explosion.
In the era of Internet explosion, mobile phones are almost like human body organs.
If I don't touch my phone within a few minutes, I feel uncomfortable all over.
Su An's action was just another manifestation of years of habit.
Just like a woman with long hair, she often makes little moves to lift her hair.
Even one day, she suddenly changed her hairstyle and turned it into short hair.
For at least a week, she would frequently display her hair.
But this small action, for people today, the article contained in it is of great connotation.
None of the people present believed that Su An was the big boss of this business.
Everyone firmly believes that Su An is just someone else's puppet.
When everyone made this assessment in their hearts, Su An's meaningless little action just now turned into something meaningful.
After everyone noticed Su An's little action, they all saw more meaning than each other's eyes.
"Does this kid want to call his boss behind the scenes?"
"Did you see that? This kid is really a newbie in the business world. He has no authority at all. We just said a few words. He just wants to ask the boss behind the scenes for instructions!"
"Oh! It would be great if we could get in direct contact with the big boss behind the scenes. I'm afraid, the boss behind the scenes is really a figure in the customs department. It's really inconvenient for us to see us, otherwise we wouldn't have arranged for such a person to show up."
“Cellphones are indeed a good business, but reselling other people’s phones is not a long-term business.
If only I could create my own brand..." Su An was thinking about whether she could purchase all the parts from 2002 and assemble them in 2002.
In 2007, Apple produced the first iPhone.
For people in 2022, this kind of old mobile phone from 2007, not to mention adults and elementary school students, will find it stuck and broken.
But this kind of technology, if it had been available in 2002, would have been ahead of its time.
At that time, this mobile phone used a 90-nanometer mobile phone chip.
The 90-nanometer technology has been used in the mass production of Pentium 4 chips since 2003.
If Su An wants to produce this chip, it must at least meet the technical standards of this era.
To extend a little further, if we purchase a series of 90nm lithography machines from 2022, it will be no difficulty at all.
