Apple's Trek finally decided to buy eight units instead of four units, which made Nikon and Philips deeply satisfied. Although the price was almost half cheaper than the price that was first sold to TSMC, there was no way. Who made the negotiation boss eventually become a technology giant Apple?
After hearing that the negotiation rival became Apple, the leadership of the two companies had been fully prepared to reduce the price of lithography machines. The method of blackmailing TSMC in the past must have not worked on Apple. During this period, Apple had already been very strict in managing parts suppliers. Later, their profits of the OEM company, Foxconn in Baodao, had been reduced to an extremely low level by Apple, so that Foxconn was called a sweatshop by many workers. For a period of time, in order to fight, workers even jumped off buildings to expose its dark side.
In the current industry, the low profits of cooperation with Apple are well known. However, no matter how much you criticize it, the large amount of Apple needs is well concealed, which is a good thing for the fact that unit price profits are low.
Take lithography machines, TSMC may not have one for a few years. As a result, Apple took over, and once it took over, it suddenly made eight units, which made the two lithography machine manufacturers overjoyed. As a product, your technology content is very high and the added value is also high, but as long as you can't sell it, it's just a bunch of waste products.
There are some small episodes at the end of the contract.
On behalf of Apple, Trek asked for delivery locations, four units were divided into two batches, and delivered separately at the two ports of Baodao. What's even more strange is that one is at the Kaohsiung Port in the south and the other is at the Keelung Port in the north. This south and one north, guarding the two ends of Baodao, with a difference of several hundred kilometers. What's the point?
What's more, TSMC is located in Taipei's science and technology park, very close to Keelung Port. What's the purpose of transporting it to Kaohsiung Port?
As if seeing the doubts of the two companies, Cui Ke coughed lightly and explained: "We are planning to build two chip production lines on the south side of Baodao Island. Although they are both on the same island, the Hualien Highway connecting the north and south sides has frequent mudslides and transportation is not safe. Considering this situation, the company decided to transport the lithography machine directly to Kaohsiung Port."
This explanation made the two companies suddenly realize it. It turns out that after TSMC changed its owner, it was rich and ready to expand its production capacity and do a big move.
Think deeper, Apple has a complete industrial chain of hardware and software. Except for the computer's central processor, it can be self-sufficient in other aspects. Now that it has a chip production line, even IBm can be put aside. But with the current production capacity of TSMC, it is probably not able to meet Apple's needs.
Expanding the production line has also become an inevitable choice for Apple.
Representatives from Nikon and Philips have figured out why Apple expanded its production line by themselves, so they don’t care about this matter.
As for the Batumi Committee, which is responsible for reviewing sensitive equipment, the application submitted by Apple was signed and approved after a quick understanding.
The so-called Batumi,
The person who was investigated was only the companies of the country on the Sam Country blacklist. There was nothing to be reviewed about Apple. Besides, no one dared to review it, that was purely self-discomfort.
The only regret is that in the past, TSMC used some public relations measures to pass the application as soon as possible, and everyone thanked Bumin, but in the future, if it was replaced by Apple, there would be no such opportunity to get benefits.
The negotiations ended happily in a peaceful atmosphere.
After seeing off the negotiation teams of the two companies, looking at the plane away, Trek was at the airport, avoiding his colleagues around him, taking out a maritime satellite phone in his briefcase, and dialing.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Trick, what you ordered has been done!"
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and immediately responded: "Mr. Trek, you have done a good job. In five minutes, you will receive a text message on this phone."
When Trick heard this, he was all trembling with excitement.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, you have a very pleasant cooperation with you!"
The phone hangs up.
From the distance, the Apple manager in charge of procurement seemed to be very anxious and walked around the place. After a while, he raised his arm and looked at the watch several times.
Suddenly, Trek was shocked and picked up the maritime satellite phone.
"Great Mr. Trek, you received a million dollars in remittances in Credit Suisse bank account. Given your good reputation in our bank, you have been upgraded to a Gold Member at the bank. In the future, the bank will provide a private bank manager to provide you with financial management and investment advice."
Trick rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. Yes, it was one million dollars. Although he would have a salary of more than 100,000 US dollars a year at Apple, he would have nothing left after removing all kinds of expenses and consumption. In addition, the newly found little fairy man, although he had never received gentleness and enjoyment from her, the woman's excessive demands on money made him unable to bear the heavy economic pressure.
With this million dollar, all these difficulties were solved.
Although I understand rationally that this transaction is not that simple, what does it have to do with him?
As the largest private shareholder of Apple, how dare he resist a middle-level employee like him? What's more, he didn't think about resisting. He liked such a forced force, and it would be great if he had done it a few more times.
As the head of procurement, he knew in his heart that his current position was already the ceiling of Apple. If he wanted to move up, he would basically have no way out. When he was a little desperate about his future, the shareholder handed him an olive branch. He didn't climb over the stretched branches, and that would be a fool.
As a negotiator, nothing he talks about is illegal, which is enough. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be a person with high power rather than a person who is looking for him.
Man dies for money, bird dies for food, in the mountain where money is supreme
The same is true for Muguo society.
Picking up the maritime satellite phone, he called the bank's account checking phone number, and after entering the account and password, the balance on the account was confirmed correctly, which was indeed one million US dollars.
He still remembers that when the transaction was negotiated, the other party helped him get such a top-secret account of UBS. Without an account name and password, no one could find the detailed information of this account. It is absolutely safe to put money on such an account.
Copy of the agreement must be archived at Apple according to regulations. However, what surprised Trick was that his request for archive was rejected because, according to the new resolution of the company's shareholders' meeting, all the contract texts on TSMC will be handed over to TSMC for storage in the future.
So, the contract text was turned around and finally handed over to the newly appointed Apple representative to TSMC. This representative is a Chinese. Trek had never seen it at Apple before. Maybe it was a newly recruited one! In his heart, he could only comfort himself like this.
Two days later, a courier from the plaster Guozhai was placed on Zhang Yi's desk. After seeing the courier from Baodao, Zhang Yi smiled and opened the unopened contract text, and laughed a few times. The smile of success made the secretaries sitting outside tremble.
Did the boss do something bad again, or did he want to do something to them?
If he really wants to do something to himself, will he obey or not! He couldn't help but feel entangled for a while.
While hesitating, he looked up and swept around and found several young and beautiful female secretary, each dressing up in a hurry.
Ah! I was one step slower, these fairies are too impatient!
The supervisors who were preparing to report were stunned when they saw the abnormal behavior of these secretaries.
Is the boss so powerful that he has cracked all these beautiful little cabbages!
We can't stop makeup and work. A group of secretaries temporarily stopped the supervisors, walking one by one, showing their advantages in front of the boss.
For these young and beautiful young secretary, it is impossible to say that Zhang Yi has no idea. When facing a beautiful woman, which man will not be moved? Of course, maybe Liu Xiahui and Tang Seng will not be moved.
However, in his previous life, he saw too many bosses and female secretary get together, which made the company chaotic, and the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits it brought.
Besides, any of his girlfriends will be far behind these women. The most important thing is that these women's unrestrained behavior is that they are purely self-deception, and they are just the money in his hands. He has a clear understanding of this, and of course, they are not very interested in them.
"What's wrong? Don't you have to go to work anymore? Are you dressed so well, are you walking on the catwalk on the catwalk?"
"Oh, ah, what about you, Xiaoling, it's already big, and you're still squeezing your clothes and buttoning them up soon.
It was cracked. Xiaohong, your lipstick is so thick, like biting a big sausage. Do you like sausages very much? Tomorrow I will ask the master of the cafeteria to give you a big sausage, and you have to eat it clean in front of everyone! And Xiaoli, why are your eyes so dark? Have you fallen in love with pandas recently? Is it addicted to cospLay?"
A few words, like a stinky tongue, made these young secretaries full of their heads.
The supervisors outside the door were overjoyed.
It was the first time everyone showed up that the young boss had such a humorous side.
Only Bai Jie looked at these little fairies and the cold light flashed.
These little Bichi are too much and dare to publicly seduce the boss.
When it comes to seduction, her own face is also a little burning. As a mature woman, when she talks about others, she will think of herself from time to time. Isn’t that the same thing? Different methods and not the goals are the same?
Except for Bai Jie and special circumstances, Zhang Yi will not provoke any woman. If something like unspoken rules is used, the harm to the company will have serious consequences.
