A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 76: So important?

"Forty percent? With such a high discount, we will lose at least ten percent, let alone make a profit!"

It was Qiu Shujie who spoke this time. He had thought that his cousin would at most agree to a 10% reduction, but he didn't expect her to directly offer 40%.

Zhang Hequn was also shocked by Qiu Chunqin's words and immediately helped Qiu Shujie to dissuade her.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Chunqin looked at the two of them and said in a very calm tone: "My words don't work anymore?"

There was no emphasis or explanation in the sentence. Just with these few short words, the expressions on Qiu Shujie and Zhang Hequn's faces froze immediately.

As each other's subordinates for so many years, they naturally knew that even though she looked so calm now, she was already very dissatisfied in her heart. If they didn't have the foresight to go against her, then bad things would be waiting for them.

"I'll arrange it right away and notify all our customers today." Zhang Hequn didn't dare to waste time and replied immediately.

"Yes!" Qiu Chunqin nodded with satisfaction before continuing, "Recently, remember to strengthen contacts with customers in other industries. I hope that even if we lose customers in the mobile phone industry, customers in other industries can become our moat!"

Although Borne Group's largest business now is Corning Group orders and glass panel OEM for mobile phone manufacturers, in fact, Borne's real success did not rely on this.

At the beginning, the other party's main business was watch glass. Later, relying on Qiu Chunqin's extraordinary ability, Born almost took over the domestic watch glass market. However, even so, Born was only a small company with a market value of less than 10 billion at that time.

The opportunity that really changed him came fifteen years ago, when the designers of Motorola Group, which was still a mobile phone giant at the time, suddenly wanted to abandon the plastic screen protector on its latest mobile phone V3.

Finally, they chose to cooperate with the Born Group. At that time, the V3 was equipped with the Born Group's glass protection panel. With this advanced and unique design, the V3 became a global hit as soon as it was launched on the market.

Borne became popular and many companies started to cooperate with it. Even the Fruit Group chose to purchase glass panels from the Borne Group at the beginning.

At that time, it seemed that Born had the potential to become a giant, but unfortunately Qiu Chunqin's vision was not big enough.

Perhaps she thought that Born was already invincible in the industry at that time, or perhaps she could not step out of her comfort zone and the funds invested in research and development became less and less every year.

In the next few years, the orders for fruit phones were snatched away by Corning Group, and Born could only become a processing factory, earning a small processing fee.

"I understand. I will personally strengthen contact during this period!" Zhang Hequn nodded.

When he heard Qiu Chunqin say this, he immediately had a bad guess in his mind, but he couldn't say anything and could only nod and carry out the other party's instructions.

……

Two days passed quickly, and the Fruit Group was not so arrogant as to give up Tiansheng Optics.

The afternoon before, the other staff contacted Zhou Pingshen again and informed him again of the time the company team would come today.

"coming!"

At the factory gate, Zhou Pingshen saw a minibus driving towards them from afar. Looking at the logo of the Fruit Group on it, he knew that this must be the exclusive vehicle of the other group, and immediately whispered.

Chen Jinghong naturally noticed the car. He originally thought that he would be very excited to meet a global giant for the first time. But at this moment, he didn't know if it was the system that gave him confidence, but at this moment, he didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart. "Excuse me, are you a staff member of Tiansheng Optics?"

The vehicle quickly drove to the factory gate, stopped, and a woman in her twenties got out of the car. She should be from the domestic branch.

"Yes, this is our chairman, and I am the general manager of the company!" Zhou Pingshen said immediately.

Facing the people from the Fruit Group, Chen Jinghong brought Zhou Pingshen with him to greet them. Originally, he wanted Zhou Pingshen to represent himself and another person to receive them.

However, later, Zhou Pingshen persuaded him and he agreed to come out and meet the other party.

The woman obviously didn't expect that the two people in front of her were actually the chairman and general manager of Tiansheng Optics.

He immediately turned around and said to the group of foreigners who had just got off the car: "President Niels, President Rudet, this is the chairman and general manager of Tiansheng Optics."

"Oh, what a pleasure to meet you." Rudet first said in very poor Mandarin, and then continued to speak in other languages: "Your company's products are really perfect. I really want to know how your company developed them!"

In contrast, Rudtnier was calm. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Jinghong and just said, "I'm very happy to meet you," and that was all.

Although the Fruit Group brought a team of nearly a dozen people, most of them were not interested in Chen Jinghong and Zhou Pingshen, and did not shake hands with the two or introduce them to each other.

After a brief introduction, Chen Jinghong and Zhou Pingshen led everyone to the conference room.

Normally, when a company has customers or suppliers, they are brought to the reception room. However, this time there were too many people and the reception room could not accommodate them all, so they had no choice but to bring them to the conference room.

"Chairman Chen, Nils and Rudet are both vice presidents of our fruit group. Nils is the manager of the group's investment department, and Rudet is the company's chief engineer!"

In the conference room, Li Li stood beside the two of them and introduced Chen Jinghong.

When Chen Jinghong heard that the two people actually held this position, he was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the Fruit Group would actually send two vice presidents over, and one of them was even the chief engineer. It seemed that the other party attached more importance to him than he thought.

He first gave Zhou Pingshen a look, asking him to check the background of these two people to see if they were really the vice presidents of the fruit group as Li Li said.

Then he turned around and smiled at the group of people and said, "I never thought that we at Tiansheng Optics would be so lucky to have you two here. On behalf of Tiansheng Optics, I would like to thank you two for your attention."

After hearing what Li Li had said, Niels and the other man smiled in a friendly manner, saying that Tiansheng Optics was worthy of their personal visit.

Then Chen Jinghong didn't waste any words. Although the Fruit Group said at the beginning that its purpose was to purchase glass panels from Tiansheng Optics, the other party's reason was that they came to investigate whether Tiansheng Optics met the qualifications.

However, the Fruit Group had two vice presidents at the beginning. Chen Jinghong naturally did not believe that the other party had such a simple purpose. After all, how could they send the top executives of the company to simply review a supplier?

"I don't know what the entire review process is and where to start?" Chen Jinghong looked at the two of them and said.

After hearing this, Li Li looked at Chen Jinghong in surprise. She had been working as a translator for the head office staff for so long, but this was the first time she had met someone so direct!
