Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 92 [Charge 10% of the initial price]

In a situation where there are too many people and too little meat, not only are "friendly competitors" in the same industry scrambling for goods, but even different industries are also scrambling for goods.

Because the current production volume is so limited, none of the other graphene manufacturers are useful. If there is a second company that can compete with Lingjing Technology, Xiao Yu wouldn't have to beg for help like this.

The current situation is that if one industry takes more goods, the other industry will take less.

Those who get less will definitely be unhappy and even angry. Today's technology is developing rapidly and the competition is fierce. Let alone waiting for a year or two, even waiting for a few months may put you at a huge disadvantage or even be overthrown.

Moreover, cross-border dimensionality reduction attacks are popular nowadays. Companies in some industries have been keeping a close eye on their arch-rivals in the same industry, taking all kinds of precautions, but in the end, they are defeated by people who have nothing to do with another industry after all their efforts.

Now is an era of multi-dimensional competition. What defeats you is often not your peers, but competition from another dimension.

For example, the competitor of instant noodles is not its peers, but the food delivery industry; it is not the restaurant owners who changed the catering industry, but Ele.me.

Previously, Lingjing Technology was swept up in public opinion, and an expert named "Shou" came out and called on Lingjing Technology to openly license its technology to other manufacturers. Eighty or ninety media outlets reported extensively on this expert, driving the traffic crazy. There is a reason for this.

Many industries do not want to see Lingjing Technology exclusively master the mass production technology of graphene materials. Who knows how many people in the industry are secretly pushing for it.

Fortunately, the country took timely action to set the tone and listed Lingjing Technology's graphene mass production technology as an export controlled technology and a state confidential technology. They knew that it was impossible to force Xiao Yu to disclose the technology license, so this made a group of people shut up.

Lingjing Technology is now a top supplier. Any manufacturer or industry that has demand for graphene materials must ask Lingjing Technology for help. They may be unhappy or even create obstacles behind the scenes, but they absolutely dare not offend Xiao Yu openly.

There is no other way. The only graphene material provider in the world that can sell in large quantities at low prices is Lingjing Technology.

却说此刻，萧宇望着美女助理说道：“公司今年在石墨烯材料上的综合产能从2000吨级提升至5000吨，整体价格在现有的基础上再降20%至25%左右，预期营收较之去年的780多亿增加至1500亿至1800亿左右。”

A substantial increase in production capacity can spread costs, which is in line with industry logic. Xiao Yu naturally wants product prices to fall in an orderly manner, but a price reduction does not mean less profit, because output has increased 1.5 times.

Xiao Yu's move is also intended to appease the market to a certain extent. Don't be anxious if you haven't received the goods. Our company's production capacity has increased dramatically year by year, and the price will continue to fall. It will be cheaper to get the goods later, so don't panic or be anxious.

People in all walks of life are really anxious now. Those who got the goods breathed a sigh of relief, while those who didn’t get the goods were very angry and anxious, because they were worried that one day they would be eating hot pot and singing karaoke, and then wake up to find that they had suffered a dimensionality reduction attack.

Nowadays, people are no longer just focusing on their peers and rivals, but are also paying more and more attention to some cross-industry issues.

It is not possible not to pay attention to cross-border issues. What if one day your home is suddenly taken over by a competitor from another dimension, and you won’t even have time to react. There are already too many examples of being attacked by cross-border dimensionality reduction, and they are simply too numerous to mention. No one wants to be the next one.

Xiao Yu asked: "How many batteries does Xiao Mi want?"

Yunshu replied: "About 3000 million mobile phones."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu thought for a while, and then decided: "Then we will provide 600 tons of production capacity for mobile phone batteries, and provide the mobile phone market with 4500 million to 5000 million mobile phone batteries."

The graphene materials needed to manufacture batteries do not need to be the most expensive scientific research grade, otherwise it would definitely not be able to provide a production capacity of 600 tons, and even if it could be provided, few mobile phone manufacturers could afford it. The key is that it is necessary.

When the comprehensive production capacity of graphene materials increases to 5000 tons, the proportion of military procurement will certainly decrease. It is impossible to maintain a ratio of % to %. The military's demand will always be saturated, and it is impossible for all military funds to be allocated to the purchase of graphene. With the exponential growth of production capacity year after year, the amount provided to the civilian market will gradually exceed the military market. This is inevitable.

This time, Xiao Mi sent someone to discuss the supply of graphene battery business, but Xiao Yu did not go to receive them in person. After all, Lei Jun did not come in person, so he asked other executives of the company to receive them.

With so many manufacturers coming to investigate and discuss business, Xiao Yu has to show up, so he doesn't have to do anything else.

Only when heavyweight bigwigs and influential people come, Xiao Yu will take the time to meet them. It would be unreasonable not to meet them.

At this time, Yun Shu asked: "Are there any other arrangements?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. We will add another proposal at the next board meeting. We have already raised salaries once at the beginning of this year. We will raise salaries for all employees in the second half of the year. Starting from July, the salaries will be paid according to the salary increase."

When Yun Shu heard this, he was no longer as surprised as he had been last year. Instead, he asked, "Is it still a 35% increase?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, it's up 35%."

At present, excluding people in food processing, retail supermarkets and other departments, the grassroots employees in the main business of Lingjing Technology Company already have a monthly salary of 13600 yuan. If it increases by another 35%, the monthly salary will be 18360 yuan. And this is the number that employees can directly receive after deducting social insurance.

The company's employee count has increased to more than 6700, and it is still expanding externally.

Xiao Yu added: "There is no need to follow up with the employees of the retail supermarkets. If they follow the Pangdonglai model, the salary adjustment will definitely be above 7000."

The grassroots employees at the retail supermarkets now receive a monthly salary of just over 4000 yuan, and a 35% salary increase will be less than 5500 yuan. By then, the Pangdonglai team will still adjust their salary upwards, and it will definitely be far more than 5500 yuan, so there is no need to do this.

After these things were arranged, Xiao Yu left Lingjing Technology and went to AVIC Linfei Company to deal with the prototype and room-temperature superconducting materials.

Lingjing Technology is managed by Xu Changming, and Xiao Yu is very confident about the company's operations.

In the next two days, Xu Changming also discussed with Xiaomi's people about the cooperation in the supply of graphene batteries for mobile phones.

The battery cost accounts for a relatively low proportion in a mobile phone. The battery of domestic mobile phones is generally around 3%. However, the proportion of mobile phone batteries in the overall mobile phone cost varies depending on the brand and model.

The battery cost of Apple mobile phones is not low. The cost of replacing the battery outside the warranty period accounts for nearly 10% of the price of the phone. The cost of Huawei mobile phone brand is actually not low either, at around 10%.

This time, Xiao Mi wants to get enough graphene batteries for 3000 million mobile phones. There is naturally no problem with Lingjing Technology. Xiao Yu has already prepared 600 tons of production capacity for mobile phone graphene batteries, which can support the battery supply for 5000 million mobile phones.

The condition proposed by Lingjing Technology is that if the initial price of the smartphone equipped with this battery is less than RMB 5000, the charge for a single battery is RMB 500. If the initial price of the smartphone using this battery is higher than RMB 5000, the charge for a single battery is 10% of the initial price.

If manufacturers want to purchase the goods, they have to follow this agreement. Lingjing Technology refused to bargain.
