Chapter 302: The research and development of new products is not ideal
After listening to the words of the two, Wu Hao pondered for a while before nodding and said: "H is very powerful in the field of chips and communications in China and even in the world, and there is no problem in cooperating with them in this regard, and it is just possible to complement each other's advantages."
For us, it can also reduce our dependence on overseas chips and reduce some of the risks that may arise.
Therefore, it can be negotiated to give them priority supply, provided that they come out with sincerity.
Not only mobile phone products, but also bracelets, watches, tablets, and laptops that they push out can use this battery.
Compared with mobile phones, technology products such as bracelets, watches, and tablet notebooks have higher requirements for small battery life.
With the blessing of our super battery, I believe that we will definitely be able to achieve very good results in the market.
I think the other party is also very clear about this, otherwise he would not generously take out his own confinement in exchange.
As for more in-depth cooperation, we can also talk about this aspect, our smart products can be targeted and optimized for their products, but not exclusively.
How to grasp what you think, I just want the result. ”
Zhang Jun nodded when he heard this, and Zou Xiaodong on the side couldn't help but say: "If we let go of providing relevant batteries to the other party, with their huge global sales, I'm afraid these four factories can't meet it." And we have to use it ourselves, and the share that can be provided at this stage is still relatively limited. ”
Zou Xiaodong said that this is indeed a problem, and the four factories have also divided the relevant production scope in the early planning.
For example, the Cangshi plant, which is a wholly-owned plant, mainly produces large and ultra-large new lithium-ion batteries and battery packs. It is aimed at batteries required in electric vehicles, a range of large and special equipment, and a range of other large and special equipment.
Some of the battery supply contracts in the relevant cooperation agreements signed with some military enterprises and the military will be produced and supplied by this factory. It is precisely because of this peculiarity that this factory must be controlled by them as a sole proprietorship.
Moreover, after the relevant production projects are launched, relevant representatives of the military will be stationed to ensure and supervise the production of related products.
One of the remaining three plants is used for medium-sized battery pack production tasks. For example, batteries used in laptops, tablets, and even some balance bikes, and even small scooters.
The other two specialize in small and micro batteries, mainly for mobile phones, tablets, bracelets, watches, headphones, and even other products such as electric toothbrushes and shavers.
Compared with the above two types of large and medium-sized batteries, this kind of small and micro batteries are more widely used and have more quantities, so Wu Hao also arranged two factories to jointly produce.
But even so, in the face of huge market demand, the output of these four factories is still far from enough. Therefore, they can only take the high-end route and open up the price point with ordinary lithium batteries.
Of course, this is also to stop stimulating other battery manufacturers, which is counted as a tacit understanding and potential rule.
"It is impossible to open up the supply, and our factories must meet our priority before we can supply to the outside world. And even if an agreement is reached, the other party only gets the right of first supply, not the right of independent supply. In addition to them, we also need to supply to other manufacturers.
Otherwise, it will really offend people, and it is not in our interests. Wu Hao shook his head and said.
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with this, and they are not divided into high and low versions." The cost of this battery is relatively high, and they will definitely give priority to the high-end version.
Besides, the output of our four factories cannot stand still forever, and it will definitely increase. ”
"That's right." Wu Hao nodded and said: "After we gain a firm foothold first, we will expand the production scale of these four factories according to market conditions in the future."
We will also acquire or build other factories to meet our production needs.
Although we have patents in our hands, this situation will not last for many years, and it will definitely be open to the industry in the future.
Of course, don't be afraid, at that time, our next generation of products may come out, besides, this is not our focus. ”
Hehehehe, the three of them laughed when they heard this.
"Then I'll go talk to the other party directly." Zhang Jun opened his mouth and smiled.
"Yes, but in terms of conditions and supply and output, we must be tighter. Don't put too much at a time, which is not conducive to future cooperation. Besides, don't we use it yet, and we have to give priority to ensuring the use of our products. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao said to Zou Xiaodong: "I promised at the press conference that I would use this battery in our products this year. It's more than August now, so I'm asking for this battery for the new Pro version to be released in September. And within this year, we will ensure that all our intelligent voice assistants and bracelets will use this battery. ”
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zou Xiaodong's brows couldn't help but lock. At present, he knows the sales volume of their intelligent voice assistant, and now there are less than four months before the Gregorian New Year, and the pressure to complete large-scale production within these four months can be imagined.
"I do my best." I thought a lot of words, but in the end it turned into these three words.
Wu Hao knocked on the table and said, "It's not a try, it's a must."
Judging from the current situation transmitted back by the R&D department, the R&D work on new products is not ideal, and there has been no breakthrough in some key technologies and processes.
So next year's spring launch will be postponed or cancelled, and it is very important for us to put this battery into use before that. ”
Regarding the research and development of new products, the three of them more or less know. Among them, Zhang Jun knows the least, followed by Zou Xiaodong. And Yang Fan understands or grasps it most comprehensively, because he is now responsible for presiding over the daily work of the entire R&D institution. In addition to Wu Hao, he has the final say, and the research and development project of new products is the top priority, how can he not know.
Hearing his words, the three of them, including Zhang Xiaolei, who was recording, all showed a solemn look on their faces.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Wu Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not as serious as you think, Yang Fan knows this aspect, but it's just stuck in a few key hardware technologies."
If it goes well and is completed by this winter, there is still hope that it will be in time for the spring new product launch.
Besides, even if there are no new products, this spring conference can be carried out normally. For some targeted optimization and upgrading of our current products, it is still possible to support the scene. ”
"The boss is right, it's true." Seeing this, Yang Fan also nodded hurriedly.
