Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1039 Swallow it back the way you pooped!
Nakamura Weifu returned to the headquarters of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company and shouted angrily to the senior executives.

This trip to the mainland can be said to have completely exceeded the expectations of Nakamura Weifu and the Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company.

According to their previous expectations, even if Dongling Hi-Tech was unwilling for NTT to tear up the OEM agreement, it would still beg NTT to do so.

Who would stab a good person with a knife when he is bullied?
According to the general process, Dongling Hi-Tech should not have been arguing with NTT and then filing a lawsuit, or it should have bowed to NTT and accepted the new agreement.

Even though the talks broke down and the two sides went to court, Dongling Hi-Tech continued to manufacture PHS products until Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company transferred the PHS order capacity away.

Shouldn’t the Dongling High-tech Components Industry Chain be the one that is most afraid of the table being overturned and the transfer of Xiaolingtong orders? The longer they can do OEM, the better. How dare they terminate the agreement so easily? After all, every extra Xiaolingtong produced is a lot of money!

But Dongling Hi-Tech chose a path that Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company had never dreamed of, and stabbed Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company three times, stabbing where it hurt!
The sudden cessation of OEM production has caused Xiaolingtong to be suspended. How long can it be sold by relying on the inventory?
Moreover, once the Xiaolingtong system is out of stock, the market share will probably be immediately snatched away by rival companies.

More importantly, Xiaolingtong agents, dealers, and after-sales service also ran away!

The after-sales service of Xiaolingtong mobile phones has always been handled by Dongling Hi-Tech's Shenzhou After-sales Service Center in mainland China and Southeast Asia.

This was not a problem in the past. Taking on the after-sales service of Xiaolingtong could increase the revenue of the after-sales maintenance center, and Nippon Benz Telephone and Telegraph also saved the cost of establishing an after-sales system. It was a win-win situation for both sides.

But now, both sides have fallen out, and the Shenzhou After-sales Service Center can no longer repair Xiaolingtong mobile phones!

The entire Xiaolingtong mobile phone, including the three major systems of production, sales, and after-sales, and even the logistics of Oriental Express and the publicity of Focus Media, have all collapsed.

Before the launch of Xiaolingtong mobile phone, it was more expensive than UTStarcom mobile phone. Why did users still accept it? On the one hand, it was because of its good quality control. Xiaolingtong was considered to be a mid-to-high-end model of PHS. The machine was recognized to be reliable and would not have problems every now and then.

Another thing is the after-sales system. If any problems arise, the Shenzhou after-sales maintenance center will be responsible, so users don't have to worry.

Because of these reasons, even though Xiaolingtong is a little more expensive than other competitors' machines, there are still countless users willing to accept it. And all this reputation was created by Dongling Hi-Tech with a complete system!

Now all the supporting systems are gone. Next, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company had better implement the complete system built by Dongling Hi-Tech, otherwise the reputation of Xiaolingtong will collapse!

Production capacity and sales volume are not what Xiaolingtong is most worried about next, but reputation is. Once it loses its reputation, it will be like Samsung in its previous life, treating domestic and overseas mobile phone users differently. With a wave of seven consecutive explosions, its reputation collapsed instantly and it also collapsed directly in the mainland market.

These things were something that Nakamura Weifu or Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company had never thought of before.

Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is a telecommunications giant. It is a dominant player in the telecommunications industry everywhere in the world. To put it bluntly, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is powerful and has deep connections. Ordinary Nippon users can only feel frustrated when facing Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company.

This naturally made the Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company act somewhat overbearingly.

The Japanese Telephone and Telegraph Company, which was doing well in Japan, never thought that there would be a company that dared to confront it head-on.

In addition, it is not a professional mobile phone manufacturer. Although the newly formed mobile phone team is composed of people from the industry, to be honest, it is essentially just a makeshift team that has not yet been able to work together.

All these reasons combined made Nakamura Weifu never imagine that there would be so many troubles on this trip to the mainland.

The person who became the head of the mobile phone department of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company was Kentaro Takada, who was poached from Kyocera's mobile phone department.

He was also a little embarrassed at this time. Kentaro Takada thought that he would have a great time after coming to Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation from Kyocera and taking charge of the world's third largest mobile phone manufacturer in terms of shipments. However, who knew that he would run into such a big bomb as soon as he arrived.

In fact, before Nakamura went to the mainland, Kentaro Takada was opposed to signing a new OEM agreement with Dongling Hi-Tech.

Nakamura Sueio and other executives of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company wanted to increase the profits of PHS by lowering the OEM price of PHS, but Kentaro Takada strongly disagreed with the idea.

I think Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is thinking too simply. After all, Kentaro Takada is a veteran in the mobile phone industry.

He knew that if he confronted Dongling Hi-Tech without making any preparations and hoped to overwhelm the other party, the consequences would be too serious.

But Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company had some mysterious confidence from somewhere. It seemed that in their eyes, this was just a trivial matter and could be solved with just one move.

But now, the thing that was originally thought to be able to be solved with a simple move has hit a wall and turned into a mess.

“It’s not difficult to find a foundry, but it’s not easy to reduce costs to the level of Dongling Hi-Tech’s industrial chain!”

Kentaro Takada said to the furious Nakamura Weifu.

As soon as these words came out, Nakamura's anger seemed to have found a target, and he shouted at Takada Kentaro, "Then tell me, when can Xiaolingtong mobile phones be mass-produced again?" Takada Kentaro sighed helplessly and said, "Japan has a complete mobile phone industry chain, whether it is chips, panels, batteries, etc., Japan has manufacturers that can make them.

However, if all the parts are purchased from Nippon Benz and then assembled locally in Nippon Benz, the cost of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone will be at least 20% to 30% more expensive than before, and it will have no advantage over other PHS mobile phone brands that use Dongling Hi-Tech's parts industry chain.

Even compared with GSM phones such as Nokia and Sony, it doesn’t have much advantage! ”

Upon hearing this, the executives of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company were all dumbfounded.

Sometimes, when you have something, it may feel insignificant, but only after you lose it do you realize how important it is.

Dongling Hi-Tech's auto parts industry chain has not yet fully matured. Like in its previous life, BYD's auto parts industry chain had a cost advantage that accounted for one-third or even one-quarter of overseas auto brands.

Dongling Hi-Tech's current parts industry chain has not yet reached that level. Of course, Dongling Hi-Tech is not prepared to compress the cost of the industry chain to the extreme and be so harsh on suppliers.

All it needs is a cost advantage that is lower than its competitors, so that Dongling Hi-Tech has room to operate.

"Even if we use the mobile phone industry chain of Nihon Benzene, it will take at least a month to mass produce it."

Kentaro Takada spoke frankly that making a mobile phone is not like playing with building blocks. You can't just assemble them. It also requires debugging, trial production and pass rate, etc. This whole process takes time for Japan, which has the spirit of bowing, no, the spirit of craftsmanship!

"President Nakamura, I think the most important thing for PHS phones right now is not to restore production capacity, but sales channels and after-sales channels!"

"Dongling Hi-Tech has removed all the supporting facilities for Xiaolingtong. After we produce it, we need to find distributors to sell it and provide after-sales service. We must maintain the reputation of Xiaolingtong mobile phones!"

Kentaro Takada said, "Word of mouth is the most important thing for PHS phones right now!"

"call!"

Nakamura suppressed his anger and asked, "How long will it take to build a sales and after-sales system?"

"This……"

Kentaro Takada hesitated, "I'm afraid it will take a year, or even longer, and require an investment of at least $500 million!"

"boom!"

Nakamura threw the thing in his hand away. He was so angry that he laughed, "One year, five hundred million dollars?"

In a year's time, I'm afraid the day lily will be out of fashion!
Nippon Benz investors have been waiting and watching these days. If Nakamura Sue can solve the problems of PHS, the share price of Nippon Benz Telephone and Telegraph Company can be maintained.

But if the problem cannot be solved, then just wait for the stock price to plummet. The thing bought for more than 10 billion US dollars was broken in less than a year. With such a huge bomb, how many bad debts will be incurred and how much will the stock price drop?

As for the $500 million in funds, it is even more expensive than the $300 million penalty that Nitto paid to Dongling Hi-Tech. So what is the purpose of Nitto Telephone and Telegraph Company doing all this?

What is even more unacceptable to Nakamura Yuio is that if PHS fails miserably and the heyday of PHS comes to an end, then he, the man who led Japanese technology out of difficulties and found a new path for Japanese economy, would fall from the altar!
"Within one month, the production capacity, sales, and after-sales problems of Xiaolingtong must be solved!"

Nakamura Sue issued an ultimatum to Kentaro Takada. He did not say what the consequences would be, but it would just mean that Kentaro Takada would be fired.

But facing the threat from Nakamura Suio, Kentaro Takada was somewhat indifferent, or even he was disheartened. Even if he was a god, he couldn't do it for a month.

"President Nakamura, please forgive me for my incompetence. I really can't do this. Please forgive me!"

Kentaro Takada used the traditional skills of Japanese craftsmen and bowed deeply to Nakamura Sue, but he insisted that he could not do what he asked. He did not want to commit suicide to apologize, as he had a wife and children at home.

"If you want to restore all this, you can only ask..."

Before Kentaro Takada finished speaking, Nakamura Wei's face turned ugly.

Of course he understood what Kentaro Takada meant, which was to ask Mr. Li to cooperate with Dongling Hi-Tech again and pretend that nothing had happened.

But for Nakamura Weifu, this is more uncomfortable than eating that thing. Doesn't this mean that he has to swallow back everything he excreted?
