Chapter 19 How much did you just say?
Dongyang Development Bank.
”Hi, we meet again.”
Kang Chi sat at the counter and greeted Zheng Zhinan with a smile.
”Sir, you…”
Zheng Zhinan habitually wanted to say the standard words, but when he saw that it was Kang Chi, he couldn’t help but pause.
”Boss Kang? Are you here to borrow money again?”
Zheng Zhinan remembered this person,
Because of him, Zheng Zhinan was scolded by his leader.
“No, I’m here to process the repayment procedures.”
”Repayment?”
Zheng Zhinan had not paid much attention to the digital circle, and did not know that Daqin Optics’ products were so popular. His first reaction was: “Your company is not going to build that production line?”
Kang Chi shook his head: “It has been built for almost a month.”
”So fast?” Zheng Zhinan was immediately surprised, “So you… earned back the capital in less than a month?!”
”I guess so.”
”…”
Making money so quickly? Are you making lenses or munitions? !
Zheng Zhinan knew nothing about the production line built by Kang Chi, and had no idea how difficult it was to achieve semi-automatic manufacturing for lenses.
Even more, he lacked an understanding of the huge profit space created by the monopoly of the digital camera lens market by island companies.
“Wait a minute, I’ll report to the leader.”
Although it was only a loan of 200,000 yuan, Zheng Zhinan did not dare to act on his own this time, but immediately explained the situation to the leader.
Manager Liu ran out immediately after hearing this, and asked Kang Chi with a smile: “Mr. Kang, why are you in such a hurry to pay back the money so soon?”
”I’ll pay it back when I have the money. I don’t like the feeling of owing money.”
”But our bank stipulates that early repayment requires a written application one month in advance.” Manager Liu persuaded patiently, “Our interest rate is already very low. Your business is so good, you can borrow longer, or even borrow more to expand production capacity. Doing business requires striking while the iron is hot.”
But Kang Chi was not moved at all, and shook his head and said: “No, thank you, since you stipulate that it must be paid one month in advance, then today is just the right time to fill in the written application.”
”…”
Seeing that Kang Chi was not eating or drinking Manager Liu had to ask Zheng Zhinan to take out the application form. When Kang Chi was filling in the information, he suddenly couldn’t help asking: “Boss Kang, which bank is your company’s account opened at?”
”It seems to be ICBC, what’s wrong?”
”Well, it’s like this, in fact, you can open an account with us, I guarantee that the interest rate is higher than theirs!”
”And we can also provide professional fund management services to greatly increase your income! If you open an account now, I can apply for you to handle the distinguished VIP rights. In the future, whether it is a loan or repayment, you can go through the VIP channel for fast approval. For example, the business you are doing now does not need to wait for a month, it can be done today!”
Oh my god, this VIP channel is a bit amazing! Kang Chi couldn’t help but be moved.
But I always felt that this fat man was a little too enthusiastic. Kang Chi was afraid that there was something fishy, so he finally refused in the spirit of less trouble.
After sending Kang Chi away, Manager Liu couldn’t help but sigh with regret.
For such a potential customer, the funds in his account will usually not be less in the future. Even if he only deposits a little money into this account, the 5% interest commission generated will be enough for him to live a carefree life for a while.
Unfortunately, he ran into a wooden melon seed! —— At the same time, in the office of the general manager of the Dahua District of Shanghai Soni.
Sakata Shuichi was looking at the report in his hand seriously, and his expression became more and more gloomy the more he looked at it.
Snap! “Lens sales volume dropped by 12% year-on-year?!”
He slammed the document on the table, speaking awkward Chinese, and whispered to the man standing in front of him, “Is your sales department on holiday this month?!”
”Uh…”
Bian Dongjie lowered his head and explained tremblingly, “The decline in performance this month is mainly due to the recent emergence of Daqin Optics…”
”Daqin Optics?” ”Yes, it’s the plastic lens I mentioned to you last time.”
”Plastic lens?”
After Bian Dongjie’s reminder, Sakata Shuichi quickly remembered that this was indeed the case.
But that kind of crude workmanship,
How could it affect their Soni sales? Bian Dongjie saw Sakata Shuichi’s doubts, so he tookThe Daqin 600mm ultra-long fixed-focus lens prepared in advance was released.
”They upgraded their craftsmanship this month, and the workmanship is completely different from before, and they have also launched new products with multiple focal lengths.”
Sakata Shuichi took the lens handed over by Bian Dongjie and weighed it carefully in his hand.
This lens is very large, with the outermost lens having a diameter of at least 10cm. Although the body is still made of plastic, it feels very heavy in the hand.
The workmanship and appearance are pretty good, Sakata Shuichi commented in his heart, “What about the image quality?”
”Except for this telephoto lens, the image quality of other focal lengths is good, only slightly worse than our 1.8 aperture fixed focus lens group, but the key is that they sell it cheaply! They only sell this telephoto for 399.”
”Hmm, hm?! How much did you just say?”
”399!”
”!!”
Sakata Shuichi looked at the lens in his hand in shock, and it took him several seconds to come back to his senses.
”What about other products? Also 399?”
”No, 50mm is still 85 yuan, 12mm 199 yuan, 35mm 85 yuan, 85mm 139 yuan, 100mm macro 299 yuan…”
”…”
Hearing the quotes coming out of Bian Dongjie’s mouth like a machine gun, Sakata Shuichi was dumbfounded.
“There was only one lens last month, how come there are so many this month?!”
Even a hen can’t lay eggs so fast! No wonder Daqin Optics can make their lens sales plummet by 12%…
”This must be their big move,” Bian Dongjie also quickly seized the opportunity to pass the buck and quickly explained: “This is also the reason why we were caught off guard.”
Sakata Hideichi nodded, and then took out a Sony mirrorless camera from the drawer without saying a word.
After installing the lens, he walked to the window and personally experienced this lens of Daqin Optics for a while.
”I already know about this. I will discuss it with the headquarters later. You go down first.”
Bian Dongjie was relieved and nodded and left the office.
When there was no one in the office, Sakata Hideichi sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the lens on the coffee table, feeling a headache.
He never dreamed that their great Suoni would be bitten by a mosquito that made toy lenses!
And this mosquito was not greedy at all, and would not bite more than one bite.
If they had set a higher price or developed a more advanced autofocus lens, they would not be so passive.
With the pricing of Daqin Optics, the monthly profit would be several million at most,
But Suoni would have to pay hundreds of millions or even billions of losses for this!
It’s very angry! But what can you do? Do you also produce this kind of garbage?
If you have to fight a price war, Suoni can indeed produce this kind of cheap product, and produce more than Daqin Optics at a lower cost!
But what’s the difference between this and a dog biting you and you biting back? There is no need at all! They Suoni are taking the high-tech route, and the money earned from selling a few high-end lenses is enough for Daqin Optics’s profit for a month!
Under the current situation, it is definitely not possible to actively reduce the price of Soni’s lenses, because the cost-effectiveness is too poor. If the price is reduced too little, it will not be effective, but will make people laugh. If the price is reduced too much…
Then what price should it be reduced to?
999? Don’t even think about it!
They Soni are here to cut the leeks of China, not a charity!
