Chapter 68 Embarrassing Sydney

If the auto industry is in a hurry right now.

Then Sydney and Sanxin are in a state of distress.

Because of the battery door incident, Sanxin Mobile did not handle Dongtang properly, which caused the sales of Sanxin Mobile in Dongtang to plummet.

Moreover, due to the impact of domestic mobile phones in Sydney, a large number of domestic mobile phones equipped with Thor batteries have caused Sydney mobile phones to lose a large part of their customers.

The annual sales volume of mobile phones in Sydney in 2016 was only 1.76 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 2015% compared with 23.

What is even more worrying to Cook is that with the official launch of Hony Battery's factory in Shanmei in January 2017, domestic mobile phones such as Opie, VO, and Meizu have also begun to join the camp of Raytheon Battery.

This makes the pressure on Sydney even greater.

If it weren't for Milijia's Ministry of Commerce's sudden move to ban the sale of Thor batteries, I am afraid that Sydney mobile phones will be even more difficult.

Although about two-fifths of the global market has been kept and will not be affected by Raytheon batteries, Cook knows that this is not a long-term solution.

As soon as the sales of Sydney mobile phones in 2016 came out, the stock price of Sydney immediately plummeted. It fell by about 11% in more than a week, which is equivalent to evaporating 1100 billion US dollars.

Many shareholders are already very dissatisfied with Sydney's performance, and at the same time expressed doubts about Cook's ability. Many people are even proposing to remove Cook.

After all, the Simi capital market is so cruel. If you do a good job, you can eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and even planes and yachts are not a problem;

They are not Dongtang state-owned enterprises with a strong "human touch". The mentality of the capitalists is that if you can't make money for me, what use are you for.

"Ahem! Mr. Cook!"

A vice president interrupted Cook's contemplation.

"Mr. Atlanta! What's the matter?"

"Is President Cook thinking about how to solve the sales problem?" Atlanta asked.

Cook nodded: "That's right, I didn't expect that Thor's battery would have such a huge impact on us."

"If we can use Raytheon batteries, maybe we can save sales." Atlanta said pointedly.

Cook raised his glasses, stared at Atlanta and reminded: "Mr. Atlanta, you should know the relationship with Raytheon Battery Company now!"

"Of course! But Raytheon Battery Company is not the only one selling Raytheon batteries in this world." Atlanta raised his eyebrows and said.

Huh? Cook showed a thoughtful expression, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Are you saying flowers are mobile phones?"

"No, no, it's this company!" Atlanta handed Cook a document.

After taking it, Cook immediately looked through, Xiangjiang Xiaoxiong Battery Company? After a while, Cook stared at Atlanta:

"This is obviously a leather bag company, you believe they can make Thor batteries?"

"President Cook, I have investigated it a long time ago. This company is indeed a leather bag company, but the Thor battery they sell is the real Thor battery. The batteries are provided by Raytheon Battery and manufactured by Desai Battery. "

Immediately, Cook knew what Atlanta meant, that is, the battery was labeled as a bear battery, so it was not a Thor battery.

After he frowned and thought for a while, he nodded:
"I will leave this matter to you."

"But their price..."

"Okay, we can make the battery design a little smaller, about sixty dollars, a shitty Thor battery." Cook had to suffer this blood loss.

If no measures are taken, Sydney's stock price will continue to slump, and his position as president will almost come to an end.

Isn't it just two dollars per gram!I gave it, the big deal is that it will be more expensive then.

"Okay, as you wish, President Cook." Atlanta laughed and left.

……

Xiangjiang Central, Orion headquarters.

Keke!

"Come in!"

"Mr. Wang, here's some good news!" The person in charge of Xiaoxiong Battery Company handed Wang Zhiqiang an email.

Wang Zhiqiang took it over and saw that it was a letter of intent for cooperation from the Sydney company.

He couldn't help laughing, Wang Zhiqiang didn't believe that Sydney Company didn't know that Raytheon Battery Company was behind Xiaoxiong Battery Company.

But since the other party pretended not to know, he was willing to cooperate.

Sure enough, the law of true fragrance is not so easy to resist.

Soon, Atlanta brought people from the Sydney company to Xiangjiang in secret to negotiate with Xiaoxiong Battery Company.

Considering that the Raytheon battery is really banned by Meilijian, Sydney only needs to replace the Sydney mobile phones in the non-restricted area with bear batteries.

As for the no-sale zone, Cook and Atlanta are sensible people, and it’s okay to play tricks with the public, but this kind of thing can’t be hidden from Meijian.

Therefore, Sydney mobile phones in the restricted area can only use LG Chem batteries, which can save billions of dollars.

After three days of intensive negotiations, Atlanta, on behalf of the Sydney company, purchased 3000 million mobile phone batteries from Bear Battery Company, each (including 25 grams of batteries) for $63.

A total of 18.9 billion U.S. dollars, the bear battery company not only raised the price, but also required Sydney to pay half of the deposit in advance, but Sydney, which is under the control of others, had no choice but to accept such harsh conditions.

"Haha, cheers!" Wang Zhiqiang and several leaders of Orion celebrated excitedly.

"Cheers, it feels so good to slaughter people."

"Haha, these ghosts didn't obediently come to buy them in the end."

Wang Zhiqiang took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "This is the power of technology. In the past, these ghosts treated us differently. This is called Feng Shui rotation."

"Mr. Wang, this time we have 5400 million US dollars, I must take a good look."

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of Orion, Huang Haojie asked Raytheon Battery Company to wholesale them at a price of 2 US dollars per gram of batteries.

And Orion let Desai battery OEM, a battery only to Desai 1 dollar.

So Orion Company resold it to Sydney, earning $12 a battery.

And Wang Zhiqiang and others have a 15% dividend, which is 5400 million US dollars.

Of course, Orion will not distribute all profits at once, it will distribute dividends on a quarterly basis, and the company itself needs to retain a part of it as operating expenses, but even so, they can still get hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars dividends.

On the night when the contract was signed, Wang Zhiqiang reported to Huang Haojie that Sydney Company had placed an order of 3000 million mobile phone batteries with Xiaoxiong Battery Company.

"Good job! Since the Sydney company wants to change positions, we will help him. You can ask Desai to remove all the logos about Thor's battery, so as not to embarrass our President Cook." Huang Haojie smiled and ordered.

"No problem, the customer is God! Of course we must do our best for the customer!"

"Work hard, I won't treat everyone badly. By the way, Zhai Shaojun, the manager of the investment department of Orion Company, and Huang Zefu, the deputy manager of the logistics department, go check them out." Huang Haojie suddenly ordered coldly.

grunt!Wang Zhiqiang suddenly had a feeling of being watched, and quickly replied respectfully:
"No problem, I'll investigate them right away."

"Well! Don't let me down! You are busy!"

After Huang Haojie finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

For these guys who are high and far away from the emperor, they just want to kill chickens and scare monkeys and beat them. Huang Haojie has actually received information that these two guys are doing small tricks.

This time, he was just trying Wang Zhiqiang. If Wang Zhiqiang shielded these two people, the president of Orion Company would be changed.
