Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Chapter 19 How much did you just say?

Dongyang Development Bank.

"Hi, we meet again."

Kang Chi sat in front of the counter and greeted Zheng Zhinan with a smile.

"Sir, you..."

Zheng Zhinan habitually wanted to say standard words, but when he saw it was Kang Chi, he couldn't help but pause.

"Boss Kang? Are you here for another loan?"

Zheng Zhinan remembers this person,

Because of him, Zheng Zhinan was scolded by the leader.

"No, come and handle the repayment procedures."

"Repayment?"

Zheng Zhinan hadn't paid much attention to the digital industry, and he didn't know that Daqin Optics' products were selling so well. His first reaction was: "Your company won't build that kind of production line?"

Kang Chi shook his head: "It's been almost a month since it was built."

"So fast?" Zheng Zhinan was immediately surprised, "So you... earned your capital back in less than a month?!"

"That's it."

"..."

Can you make money so quickly?
Is what you are making a lens or a weapon? !

Zheng Zhinan knew nothing about the production line manufactured by Kangchi, and had no idea how difficult it was to achieve semi-automatic manufacturing of lenses.

What's more, there is no room for huge profits due to the monopoly of the digital camera lens market by island companies.

"Wait a moment, I will report to the leader."

Although it was only a loan of 20 yuan, Zheng Zhinan did not dare to make any decisions this time, but immediately explained the situation to the leader.

After hearing this, Manager Liu immediately ran out in person and asked Kang Chi with a smile: "Mr. Kang, why are you in such a hurry to pay back the money so quickly?"

"If you have money, just pay it back. I don't like the feeling of owing money."

"But our bank stipulates that you need to submit a written application one month in advance for early repayment." Manager Liu patiently persuaded, "Our interest rates are already very low. Your business is so good, you can borrow longer or even more. When it comes to expanding production capacity, doing business requires striking while the iron is hot."

But Kang Chi was unmoved at all. He shook his head and said, "No, thank you. Since you stipulate that one month in advance, you can fill out the written application today."

"..."

Seeing that Kang Chi was unable to make money, Manager Liu had no choice but to ask Zheng Zhinan to take out the application form. When Kang Chi was filling in the information, he suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Boss Kang, which bank does your company have an account with?"

"It seems to be ICBC, what's wrong?"

"Well, that's it. In fact, you can open an account with us, and I guarantee that the interest rate will be higher than theirs!"

"And we can also provide professional fund management services, which will greatly increase your income! If you open an account now, I can apply for your distinguished VIP rights. In the future, whether it is a loan or repayment, you can go through the VIP channel for quick approval. The business you are doing now doesn’t have to wait a month, it can be done today!”

Go ahead, this VIP channel is awesome!
Kang Chi couldn't help but feel moved.

But I always felt that the fat man was a little too enthusiastic. Kang Chi was afraid that there was something fishy in it, so in line with the principle of doing less than doing more, he finally refused.

After sending Kang Chi away, Manager Liu couldn't help but sigh with regret.

A customer with such great potential will usually have a lot of funds in his account in the future. Even if he only deposits a small amount of funds into this account, the 5% interest commission generated will be enough for him to live happily for a while.

It's a pity that I ran into a wooden melon seed! ——
At the same time, the General Manager Office of the Greater China District of Magic City.

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.

Snapped!
“Year-on-year lens sales dropped by 12%?!”

He slammed the document on the table, spoke awkward Chinese, and asked the man standing in front of him in a low voice, "Is your sales department on vacation 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..."

"Da Qin 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 rough workmanship thing,

How could it have an impact on their Sony sales?
Bian Dongjie saw Sakata Shuichi's doubts, so he directly took out the Daqin 600mm ultra-long fixed focus lens that he had prepared in advance.

"They have upgraded their technology this month. 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 quite large, with the diameter of the outermost lens being at least 10cm. Although the body is still made of plastic, it feels quite substantial in your hand.

The workmanship and appearance are pretty good, Sakata Shuichi commented inwardly,
"What about the image quality?"

"Except for the slightly worse image quality of this telephoto lens, other focal lengths perform well. It is only a little worse than our 1.8 aperture fixed focus lens group, but the key is that they sell it cheap! They only sell this telephoto lens for 399 .”

"Hmm, hmm?! How much did you just say?"

"399!"

"!!?"

Sakata Shuichi looked at the camera in his hand in shock, and it took him several seconds to come back to his senses.

"What about other products? It's also 399?"

“不，50mm还是85元，12mm199元，35mm85元，85mm139元，100mm微距299元……”

"..."

Hearing the quotes one after another, coming out of Bian Dongjie's mouth like a machine gun, Hideo Sakata was dumbfounded.

“There was only one lens last month, why are there suddenly so many more this month?!”

Hens don’t lay eggs so fast!
No wonder Daqin Optics can let their lens sales plummet by 12%...

"This must be a big move they were holding back," Bian Dongjie also quickly seized this opportunity to shift the blame and quickly explained: "This is also the reason why we were caught off guard."

Sakata Hide nodded, and then without saying a word, he took out a Soni camera from the drawer.

After installing the lens, he walked to the window and personally experienced the Daqin Optics lens for a while.

"I already know about this. I will discuss it with the headquarters later. You can go down first."

Bian Dongjie was immediately relieved, nodded quickly and exited the office.

After the office was empty, Shuichi Sakata sat on the sofa and looked at the lens on the coffee table quietly, feeling his head hurt.

He never dreamed that their dignified son, Soni, would be bitten with blood by a mosquito that made a toy lens!

Moreover, this mosquito is not greedy at all and will not bite more than one bite.

As long as they price it higher or develop more advanced autofocus lenses, they won't be so passive.

Based on Daqin Optics' pricing, the maximum monthly profit would be several million.

And they, Soni, have to pay hundreds of millions or even billions of losses for this!

I'm so pissed!
But what can you do?
Do you also produce this kind of garbage?

If we have to fight a price war, Sony can indeed produce such cheap products, and it can produce more products at a lower cost than Daqin Optics!

But what's the difference between a dog biting you and then biting you back?
Totally unnecessary!
Sony is a high-tech company, and the money they make from selling a few high-end lenses is enough for Daqin Optics to make a month's profit!

In the current situation, it is definitely not possible to proactively reduce the price of Sony's lenses, because the price-performance ratio is too poor. Lowering the price will have no effect and will only make people laugh.
It dropped too much...

To what price should it be reduced?

999?
Don't even think about it!

They Soni are here to harvest Chinese leeks, they are not a charity!
