The cooperation with the rice company was initially finalized, and Lu Zixin went to Pengcheng again. During his leisure days, the red letter mobile phone encountered new problems.

A cell phone lithium battery was placed in front of Lu Zixin's desk, Lu Zixin frowned and said, "What's the specific problem?"

"Did the battery explode?"

Exploding batteries is no small matter, and one of Samsung's phones was devastated by it. Not only the reputation declines, but also compensation for damages and product recalls.

Tang Gang shook his head and said, "It's not that serious, but it's also very troublesome."

He picked up the lithium battery and said, "This is the mobile phone lithium battery used by our HX1. It is provided by a mid-range battery manufacturer in China. This battery is not bad in terms of safety, but has a big flaw."

"Its power storage is very problematic. Recently, many mobile phone users have reported that the battery power of our mobile phone is depleting very fast, and there are people on the Internet who specially smear us, resulting in a lot less pre-orders for HX1."

"What did the users say? Let me see." After Lu Zixin finished speaking, Tang Gang sent him an email, which was the feedback from some HX1 users.

User 138~956: "HX1's battery life is too bad, right? I ran out of power after playing a few games, and no other phone lasts as long! Can you guys improve it?"

Users 177~154: "What kind of Xiaobawang mobile game machine? It's all hype. You must connect the charging cable to play mobile games. It's too inconvenient!"

Users 135~232: "This phone can do anything, but the electricity is running out too fast."

...

Lu Zixin looked at it quickly and asked, "Have you found the reason."

Tang Gang nodded and said, "We started investigating when there were these problems at the very beginning. We summarized a few points."

"In terms of battery performance, the lithium battery we use, the battery capacity and durability should be said to be similar to other mobile phones. But the key is that if you want better performance, each hardware consumes more power."

"Especially, most of our users are mobile gamers. Although the red core generation processor and the super Android system are convenient and fast, they consume more power when combined."

"So in comparison, users will feel that the battery life of our mobile phone is very poor."

Lu Zixin nodded, this is the situation caused by the mismatch of the various accessories. When the processor is stronger, the power consumption will be higher, but the battery can't keep up, which leads to the defect of the HX1.

"How about the data in terms of production capacity and sales?" he asked again.

"This month's customers' reservations are more than 400,000 units, and our latest order is 1 million units. But Nissan should only have more than 18,000 units." Tang Gang said, "And we have high quality requirements, resulting in qualified Rates are lower, there are often reworked products, and volumes may be lower.”

"As for sales, because our production capacity is not enough, sales are still in a state of insufficiency, and basically all finished products can be sold."

Lu Zixin nodded, "That is to say, the production capacity is still low, and there is still a problem with the battery of the mobile phone."

If this problem is not solved, Hongxin will not be able to launch HX2, nor will it be able to compete with other mobile phone brands.

"For the problem of mobile phone batteries, we are trying to contact other manufacturers, but the situation is not very good." Tang Gang said, "First of all, there are several powerful battery suppliers, two of which are currently negotiating with us, and one reason provides us with The battery of the mobile phone is not very high compared to now in terms of performance.”

"The other is a manufacturer in an island country. They are still negotiating the price. As for the others, they cannot cooperate in a short time."

"The performance is not high, then don't talk about it." Lu Zixin said, "How is the specific situation of the island country?"

Tang Gang had already prepared the materials and handed him a document. Said: "This company is called Fujipei Battery, a subsidiary of the island country Panasonic Group. It mainly produces batteries for electronic products, and its battery performance is at the international leading level."

"But they're asking too much, fifty percent above the normal price!"

"They dare to ask for so much?" Lu Zixin asked in surprise.

Tang Gang smiled wryly and said, "Of course I dare. They have calculated a lot in the technical cost, but they are sure that we do not have such battery technology."

"If we use their batteries, the performance will indeed increase. But the cost will increase, and our profit will be greatly reduced. We are still negotiating to try to reduce the battery price."

"Tomorrow, the negotiating representatives of Fujipei Battery will also negotiate with us to negotiate the results."

Lu Zixin said directly: "I will also go to discuss tomorrow."

The next day, Lu Zixin, Tang Gang, and Yao Yu, the person in charge of the battery of the red letter mobile phone, prepared to negotiate with the representatives of Fujiping Company.

Yao three-dimensional is very thin and unsmiling. He used to work in battery technology. He is one of the group of people that Lu Zixin dug up at Wangtang Technology. He is experienced.

"Tengping Battery Co., Ltd. has been established for more than ten years. Although it is a subsidiary of Panasonic Group, it operates completely independently. It has two factories in my country and one in Pengcheng." Yao Li was afraid that Lu Zixin would not understand, and introduced again.

"They mainly make batteries for portable devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets. We have seen their technical craftsmanship and production level, and they are all in line with our requirements. The most important thing now is that they are not willing to let the price."

"Well, you guys will talk first, I'll be listening next to you." Lu Zixin said.

At the appointed time, the negotiating representative of Fujipei Electronics came. There were two people in total, a small islander, and a young man, who should be a native.

"Mr. Nishimura, Mr. Ishikawa, welcome to negotiate." Tang Gang shook hands with them and introduced at the same time, "This is our CEO of Hongxin Electronics, Lu Yan."

"Hello." Lu Zixin shook hands with them.

Tang Gang introduced to him again: "This is Nishimura Heiichi, the business manager of Fujipei Battery, and this is Ishikawa Taku, the vice president of Fujipei Battery."

Lu Zixin was a little surprised, and said to the man named Ishikawa Zhuo, "I thought Mr. Ishikawa was from China!"

Ishikawa Taku shook his head and said in fluent Chinese, "No, I'm from an island country. When I was a teenager, I went to an island country with my parents."

The negotiation officially started, and Lu Zixin remained silent for a while, listening to Tang Gang's talks with the other party. It can be seen that Ishikawa Zhuo is the main person in charge, but he also attaches great importance to the opinions of Nishimura Heiichi.

After talking for a while, the two sides did not make any progress. Tang Gang said: "Your price is too high. According to our investigation, battery suppliers with similar technical level as yours only ask for 70% or even 60% of yours."

Ishikawa Zhuo said with a smile: "The price is not comparable. Our asking price is a reasonable requirement after fully considering the cost and the market. I can say that there is no mobile phone battery in China that is higher than our Fujipei's level. "

"As for Korean and American manufacturers, they won't charge lower prices than us, right?"
