64: Chapter 64: Has anyone here ever helped manufacture components for Xiaomi phones?

This was the might of Li Xiang Technology!

This was the might of a domestic mobile phone behemoth!

Everyone present today was very aware,

That Xue Haixin represented Li Xiang Technology.

As long as Xue Haixin was angry,

They didn't even dare to speak.

The people here today were no strangers either;

They were all vendors in Li Xiang Technology's mobile phone supply chain,

And they were all top-tier domestic manufacturers of various components.

Although these manufacturers had reached leadership positions in their respective fields,

Compared to Li Xiang Technology,

Their power was still a bit too meager.

While they were responsible for the production and assembly of various Li Xiang Phone components,

Making it seem as if Li Xiang Technology couldn't survive without these supply chain vendors,

The reality was quite the opposite.

Instead, it was these supply chain vendors who couldn't survive without Li Xiang Technology.

In fact, if Li Xiang Technology found any vendor eyesore,

They could kick them out at any time,

And then find other domestic or foreign manufacturers to take over the production.

This was why the guests today were so subservient.

They all relied on Li Xiang Technology's orders to survive.

At this moment, someone spoke up to comfort him: "Chairman Xue,

Let's talk things through calmly,

Don't be so angry.

Being angry is very harmful to your health.

You are responsible for looking after such a large company,

Handling a myriad of daily affairs,

So you must take good care of your body.

Also, we would like to know,

What exactly is going on with what you said?

What's all this about losses?

Why have you called us all here today,

And what is the purpose?"

Xue Haixin said coldly: "There's no need for you to know about the losses right now.

You'll find out sooner or later anyway.

I'm just giving you a heads-up now.

As for why I called you all here,

The main thing is that I have something I want to ask you.

Have any of you heard of a brand called xiaomi phone?"

xiaomi phone?

Hearing this name,

The guests present looked at each other one by one,

Their eyes filled with confusion.

Clearly, it was the first time they had heard of this brand.

However, this was quite normal.

To better protect company secrets,

Most mobile phone production nowadays involves giving different components to various manufacturers for production,

And then assembling these manufactured parts in an assembly plant

To finally produce a complete phone.

If the brand is unwilling to disclose it,

Even the manufacturers producing these parts wouldn't know which phone their components will end up in.

Xue Haixin had long expected this,

And had come prepared this time.

He pulled a phone box out of the briefcase he carried,

Slowly opened it,

And revealed a xiaomi phone that had already been disassembled.

"Is... is this the xiaomi phone?"

The manufacturers present all showed curious expressions,

Looking toward the box.

Xue Haixin took the components out of the box: "Come and identify them for yourselves.

See if any of your factories helped manufacture these parts."

Then, he placed the disassembled xiaomi phone parts on the table

And pushed them toward the supply chain vendor bosses.

The bosses began to look through the pile of components for the parts their respective factories were responsible for,

Including the phone screen, battery, motherboard, back cover, and so on.

However, after the supply chain bosses looked around,

They were all a bit confused.

They really had no impression of the models of these components.

They spoke in low voices for a while,

Then one after another reported to Xue Haixin,

Saying: "Chairman Xue, this screen shouldn't be supplied by our Dongfang Screen.

However, Dongfang Screen has many production lines,

So I can't say for sure if we produced it or not.

In short, I really don't recognize this screen model right now.

But you can give me some time.

Let me go back and investigate,

And I'll report back to you later."

"Chairman Xue, we can be sure that this battery was not manufactured by Pingsheng.

Of course, if you feel it's not secure enough,

I can also go back and check,

And give you an answer later."

The others all gave similar excuses.

They indeed had no impression of these components taken from the phone.

However, this xiaomi phone was likely from some small knock-off factory,

So they might have actually helped with the manufacturing,

But because the shipment volume was too small,

They had no memory of it.

"Chairman Xue, may I ask,

What is the purpose of your inquiry?"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back their curiosity

And asked Xue Haixin.

Xue Haixin slammed the table heavily: "Enough.

I understand.

All of you go back and check.

Whether you helped manufacture for this xiaomi phone before or not,

I won't pursue it!

However, if you manufacture for xiaomi phone in the future,

Then you will be going against our Li Xiang Technology!

You'd better be rational

And think clearly about the consequences.

If such a thing really happens,

Ideal will directly terminate cooperation with you manufacturers!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

All the factory bosses present gasped.

Faced with Xue Haixin's arrogance,

They happened to have no means of counterattack.

No manufacturer dared to take the risk of offending Li Xiang Technology.

Although they were already among the best in their respective fields,

They were far from reaching a monopoly position,

Nor did they have much core technology.

Furthermore, a significant reason they were able to rise

Was that they had reached their current position by manufacturing for Li Xiang Technology.

Li Xiang Technology still had a certain technical foundation.

Even if Li Xiang Technology kicked any one of the manufacturers at this table out of the game,

They could foster another manufacturer to rise at any time.

This was the strength of Li Xiang Phone as the phone manufacturer with the largest domestic market share,

And the deterrence it brought.

And this tactic

Was precisely the brilliant idea that Xue Haixin had suddenly thought of during the shareholders' meeting.

In his view,

xiaomi phone couldn't have possibly appeared out of thin air.

According to rough statistics,

xiaomi phone's current shipments should have already reached tens of thousands of units,

Which was not a small number.

Bai Jingqing must have found these domestic supply chain vendors to help with production, manufacturing, and assembly.

So now he planned to strike at the source

And directly cut off xiaomi phone's production supply chain!

As long as these supply chain manufacturers didn't dare to manufacture for xiaomi phone under the intimidation of Li Xiang Technology,

Then xiaomi phone would have no way to be produced,

And it would pretty much run out of stock.

If that happened,

How could that kid from the Bai family still fight against Li Xiang Phone?

And once xiaomi phone was out of stock,

Li Xiang Phone could sell at whatever price it wanted,

Thereby turning the current passive situation back into an active one in one fell swoop!

It had to be said,

This was a clever move.
