Chapter 247 New Panel Client
Chapter 247 New Panel Client
"This isn't just a cross-industry move; it's a game-changer. Our self-developed ESP, Taishan vehicle infotainment chip, and high-density batteries—aren't they all cutting-edge technologies?"
Shen Fei sat in his office, ignoring the news and comments.
Li Qing, Huang Tianya, and Zhang Bin sat opposite each other, their faces beaming with uncontrollable smiles.
Zhang Bin boasted, "The boss is still raising prices today."
Several thousand more units were added today, bringing the total to nearly 10.
Shen Fei put down his phone and ignored it; he was thinking about a problem.
Orders and deliveries!
After all, it was his first car, and he did expect it to be a hit, but he didn't expect it to be such a huge success.
"What's the situation with the scalpers?"
Zhang Bin's smile faded slightly.
"It's a bit chaotic. Some third-party platforms have already listed it, with prices ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan higher."
"Some people are even hiring scalpers to queue up, hoping to hoard orders," Li Qing analyzed.
"Boss, this is great news! Scalpers are hoarding our cars, which means they're optimistic about our product. The market response will definitely be very positive."
Shen Fei shook his head.
As expected, for most people, scalper orders are good news. But he remembered that in his previous life, when the rice company released its first-generation new energy vehicle, many scalpers also hoarded it…
In the end, they managed to lock in 20 orders for the first sale, but then production capacity couldn't keep up, so people who really wanted to buy a car couldn't get one at all.
Furthermore, the executives said: "The fact that scalpers and secondhand dealers are parking here indicates positive reviews."
This is indeed an encouragement for fans, but it's really damaging to their public image.
"No, this is not a good thing."
Keep a close eye on them; don't let those who genuinely want to buy a car be unable to do so.
"How do we keep an eye on them?"
"Two methods." Shen Fei thought for a moment; there were quite a few ways to deal with scalpers.
"Deposits for locked orders are non-refundable. Let the scalpers hoard the goods; the money is in our hands anyway."
Then, a real-name registration system will be implemented when picking up the car, ensuring one person, one car, and no transfers. Scalpers won't be able to resell them.
Li Qian and the others all showed excited expressions.
"This is a good idea. If scalpers dare to hoard goods, we dare to collect their deposits."
If they really find out, they can delay their order; in that case, they won't be able to pick up the car, and they won't get a refund.
"Hey, don't be so unreasonable. Our cars are so popular, and their order processing speed is so slow. It's normal for it to be a little delayed."
Stop portraying us like thugs.
Among the group, Huang Tianya understood Shen Fei the best, so he became the "top translator".
Haha!
A burst of laughter came from the conference room.
Shen Fei nodded silently. "Also, send a notice to the distributors, strictly prohibiting price gouging. Anyone who raises prices will lose their distributorship."
Although Zhang Bin is excellent at management, he still carries the mindset of a traditional car manufacturer, so he doesn't understand this at all.
"Boss, no price increase?"
With the market so hot right now, price increases are normal...
For joint venture cars, you won't even see the car unless you add 7 or 8 yuan. If you want to get the car quickly, you'll have to add at least 10 yuan.
Consumers have already been conditioned by the market; there's no need for us to be so unconventional, or we'll face even greater backlash.
"What's normal?" Shen Fei looked at him. This was the first time Zhang Bin had ever seen Shen Fei with such an expression.
Did Transsion ever add a markup when making mobile phones?
The same applies to making cars.
Users trust us, and we cannot betray that trust.
Zhang Bin nodded.
Everyone's raising prices these days, it's impossible for consumers not to be angry, but they have no other choice but to accept it.
If there were someone right now...
He instantly understood what Shen Fei meant, and then excitedly said...
"Boss, I understand. I'll arrange for the technical department to find the scalper orders right now and make the system freeze for a few seconds when they make payments..."
A wicked smile appeared on Zhang Bin's face; he was no ordinary "nice guy."
After everyone left, Shen Fei saw the overwhelming number of trending news articles and orders on his computer.
In the automotive industry, he was also a "newcomer," but he and his partners were so incredibly capable that he sabotaged himself, creating a major buzz for them.
The internet is now filled with expressions of anticipation.
Of course, Shen Fei also knew that this was only the beginning.
Cars are not like cell phones. With cell phones, the transaction ends once they're sold, with a maximum warranty of one year.
The car is sold, but the service has only just begun.
Delivery, after-sales service, charging, and repair—every step is a test.
He had to ensure that every step went smoothly.
Fortunately, Transsion has a good reputation, and many car dealers have already applied, and the evaluation is currently underway...
But all crows are black, and these people are masters of price gouging...
Just as he was worrying, Zhang Mingzhu called.
"I saw the news. The child's father is really amazing."
"Congratulations!"
"What do you mean, 'share the joy'?"
"You're the boss's wife, of course I'm happy for you too."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
The couple held their wedding on March 18th. Considering that Lao Zhang was in the process of transferring jobs at the time, they didn't make a big fuss and simply held a wedding between friends.
But both the Party Secretary and the Governor made time to attend the wedding.
"Come back early, don't stay out too late."
"Yes, sir!"
…………
On April 25th, Transsion's control panel welcomed an unexpected visitor.
When Li Qinghua arrived at the transmission panel, it was 10 a.m.
Instead of riding in San Sang's car, he built his own taxi.
He only brought one assistant and one translator.
Liu Fang met him at the factory gate, and when she saw the three of them get out of the taxi, she showed a normal expression.
"Mr. Li, what's wrong...?"
Li Qinghua was quite casual: "Keep a low profile. Don't let too many people know."
Liu Fang nodded and led him into the factory.
To understand Li Qinghua's visit, we have to go back three days, when Liu Fang suddenly received an unexpected phone call.
The other party did not introduce themselves, but spoke in Korean, and finally said that they were very interested in the sound transmission panel and wanted to purchase it in large quantities.
Liu Fang is also very welcoming to her clients.
He only asked her at the very end, and she was stunned to learn that the other party was from Sansang's mobile phone business department.
Samsung, a player across the entire mobile phone industry chain, is going to purchase their OLED screens.
Although Transsion's OLED screen uses a diamond pixel arrangement, which gives it superior display quality and burn-in resistance compared to its competitors, it's ridiculous that their own company doesn't even use its own products...
At the time, she thought the other party was playing a trick on her, until they handed her a deposit of 2000 million US dollars.
When faced with the big spender, Liu Fang's attitude changed instantly, which led to this offline inspection.
During the visit, Li Qinghua observed very carefully, stopping to ask questions at every stage, from the vapor deposition workshop to the packaging workshop and other processes.
Which company manufactures your vapor deposition machines?
"Confidential"
"Is it Canon Tokki?"
Liu Fang smiled but didn't say anything.
