Chapter 388 You're out

That night.

After receiving special envoys from the other side of the ocean, the "Oriental Motor" headquarters in Tokyo immediately held an emergency internal high-level meeting.

"Everyone has seen the long-term contracts sent by Phoenix Group. Their purchases are large in quantity and the prices are relatively reasonable. Once we reach an agreement, it will obviously be of great benefit to our development in the 'robot motor'."

"However, they require us to prioritize their motor orders every month and specifically specify that the compensation clause of up to one billion RMB must be signed."

"If we sign such compensation terms according to normal circumstances, it doesn't matter if we sign it. After all, we have sufficient production capacity, and even if we encounter problems, we can temporarily transform other production lines to ensure their orders."

"However, Mr. Smith personally flew to our headquarters this afternoon and expressed his hope that we can cause some trouble for Phoenix on the orders of Phoenix Group and delay the mass production of Phoenix robots."

Speaking of this, seeing the senior executives' faces full of confusion, "Oriental Motor" President Kirino Sakata paused for a moment and explained:

"Mr. Smith was sent by the Zezra Company!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the executives present understood.

Some time ago, the Phoenix Group's "Kaitian" robot killed everyone at the "Global Robot" conference, and completely crushed Zezra's "Optimus Prime".

Unexpectedly, Zezra's counterattack came so soon.

After a moment of pause, an executive stood up and said:

"Mr. President, we finally got the order from Phoenix Group. We have no reason to cause trouble for Phoenix Group."

"Even if Zesra promises many benefits, we cannot offend Phoenix Group; you know that once you can enter Phoenix Group's supply chain, it will be of great benefit to our future development..."

"And, I don't think we should be involved in the competition between Zezra and Phoenix, which is of no benefit to us!"

"You're right, Sugimoto-kun."

President Sakata Kirino nodded heavily and looked at Sugimoto.

"but……"

"Although Mr. Smith came on behalf of the Zezra Company, he is actually from the American military background!"

"He has made it clear that he has a showdown with me. Zesla, Boeing and Hongguo joined forces, and he has also received the acquiescence of the Afghan military!"

American military!

When everyone present was nervous when they heard about the Afghan military.

If it were just Zezra's business company and their role, they might have to think about how to refuse or find a way to drag it down.

But if it is the Afghan military...

They couldn't feel any resistance in their hearts.

You know, the American military is their absolute father and can easily control them!

Sugimoto, who had just strongly advocated rejecting Zezra, was stunned on the spot and couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, President Sakata Kirino sighed slightly and said:

"Fortunately, after negotiating with Mr. Smith, things turned a little bit."

"We don't have to directly refuse to cooperate with Phoenix Group, we just need to reduce their monthly motor supply."

"Phoenix Group proposes to purchase 60,000 robot motors per month, and we need to reduce it to a maximum of 20,000 per month, and the price will increase by 20%!"

"In addition, the liquidated damages clause in the contract must also be cancelled."

After Sakata Kirino finished speaking about the conditions, everyone present was in deep thought.

After a while, a young executive sitting in front raised his hand and said:

"This plan has certain feasibility, which can not only prevent Zezra from offending him, but also maintain a cooperative relationship with Phoenix Group."

"You know, even if you produce 20,000 "robot motors" every month, it actually reaches 70% of our existing production capacity; if you communicate well, I think Phoenix Group is likely to agree."

"It's just a penalty for breach of contract. I don't think Phoenix Group can cancel it. They will add this clause to any spare parts purchased from the outside, with the purpose of worrying about being suddenly cut off from supply!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of discussion sounded in the conference room. Judging from the current situation, this is the only way.

I can only have a good talk with Phoenix Group first to see if there is any turning point.

Seeing everyone nodding, only Sugimoto-kun, who had spoken before, had a little concern on his face.

"Mr. President, even if Phoenix Group agrees to our monthly procurement plan for 20,000 motors, their insufficient order gap will definitely purchase other brands of motors."

"As far as I know, Yaskawa Co., Ltd. has recently developed a 'servo robot motor' with similar performance as ours, and they have the ability to supply it!"

"Yaskawa Corporation cannot be! They have a very bad relationship with Phoenix Group. A few years ago, when Phoenix Group launched an electric motorcycle, they restricted the motor. It is impossible to actively lend a helping hand at this time, and Phoenix Group is not

Maybe purchase the motor from Yaskawa Co., Ltd.!”

"And, after Mr. Smith leaves us, he will meet with other motor companies one after another tomorrow. Even if he has the ability, who dares to sell it to Phoenix Group privately?!"

"Okay, that's it, I'll give Phoenix Group an official reply tomorrow morning!"

...

Sakata Kirino said it right.

The next morning, Smith arrived - Yaskawa Electric Co., Ltd.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yaskawa Co., Ltd. is the world's most awesome motor manufacturer.

The motors it produces are durable, with accuracy and responsiveness far exceeding similar standards, and their uses range from industrial robotic arms, new energy vehicles, electric motorcycles, to ordinary products, transmission devices and motion control.

In the past few years, because it threatened Phoenix Group to ban the sale of the most advanced S-1 series high-power motors, Phoenix Group directly developed the "Blue Sky Motor", completely breaking the absolute monopoly position of Yaskawa Co., Ltd. in the field of high-end motors.

but.

Even though Phoenix Group has developed the "Blue Sky Motor", Phoenix Group's focus is not on the motor industry.

Yaskawa Co., Ltd. was not in a slump. Instead, it was stimulated by Phoenix to increase its investment in R&D. In recent years, they have continued to make efforts in the mid- and high-end markets of various types of motors, and their technical advantages are more obvious than in previous years.

so.

Although Yaskawa Co., Ltd. did not reach any contract with Phoenix Group, Smith was the first to come to Yaskawa to say hello to Yaskawa in advance.

Yaskawa Corporation's president, Koji Ohara warmly received Smith, but when he learned about Smith's purpose, Koji Ohara seemed a little surprised.

As the first batch of international companies to fight with Phoenix Group, Koji Ohara has a clearer understanding of the strength of Phoenix Group than most corporate bosses!

When Phoenix Group only had bicycle business and electric motorcycle business, they could develop the most powerful S-1 high-power motor that surpassed Yaskawa Motor at that time!

Such scientific research capabilities are terrifying!

However, Phoenix Group will shift its focus to the larger new energy vehicle market in the market and will not continue to expand in the motor field. Otherwise, it will definitely have an unimaginable impact on Yaskawa Motor!

In the past two years, through a deeper understanding of Phoenix Group, Koji Ohara's attitude towards Phoenix Group has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, he regarded Phoenix as a major concern, but as Phoenix Group resisted Ami's pressure and even made Ami in a mess, his mentality had changed from being looked down upon at the beginning to being shocked, or even admiration!

so.

When Smith revealed his identity and was commissioned by Boeing and Zesra to come and hope that Yaskawa Electric would cooperate, Koji Ohara agreed directly on the surface, but was a little excited.

He waited for a long time and the opportunity to find a way to repair his relationship with Phoenix Group has finally come!

After Smith left with satisfaction, Kohara Hiroji locked the office, took out the most equipped business privacy version of Phoenix "Super 2", quickly edited a text message and sent it out via satellite signal.

...

On the other hand, just after 9 a.m., "Oriental Motor" company provided Phoenix Group with a plan that the senior executives discussed last night.

In just one hour, Oriental Motor received a reply from Phoenix Group.

All the senior officials thought that the two sides would start fierce negotiations on this, but it was unexpected to everyone.

The reply letter is only five words.

"You guys are out."

President Sakata Kirino looked at the reply letter in disbelief, unable to believe that Phoenix Group had cancelled the order directly with a disagreement.

but.

If they don’t purchase their robot motors, then whose motors are Phoenix Group?!

Don't their robots want to be mass-produced?

He looked at Sugimoto in pain.

"Suzumoto-kun, they canceled the order directly, so whose motor they use?!"

Sugimoto's face was also bitter.

"Mr. President, I don't know."

"However, is it possible that they are preparing to support the motor companies in Yanguo, or that they will develop a robot motor themselves?"

"You know, the world's top high-power 'Blue Sky Motor' is now from their research institute..."

"No!"

Sakata Kirino shook his head.

"If they wanted to develop their own motors, they had already started to develop independently for such a long time, and they would not have thought about signing a long-term contract with us!"
