Chapter 1935 The Art of Balance
According to the principle of continuous innovation, Dream Pad 2 will be released on June 25 this year, and Dream Snow will be released in February next year, and the time interval is just 8 months.
And in another 8 months, that is, in October next year, Dream Stars2 should also be launched, followed by Dream Pad3...
Such a cycle of bringing out the old and bringing forth the new, coupled with the advertising that will start several months in advance, will make customers feel that Fairy Company seems to be launching new products anytime and anywhere, keeping them attractive and fresh, which is a source of vitality for the company .
Relatively speaking, Dream Snow is the most labor-intensive one among the products.
Although it is 50% similar to Dream Stars and has 80% of the performance of Dream Stars, it is a new mobile phone after all. Its model, size, performance, etc., and the molds of various parts need to be customized .
There are also training for workers, construction of factory buildings, purchase and commissioning of production equipment, because it is a new product and new production line, and it also takes time to get in and out.
Even if Dream Snow has not yet passed the perfect test, the site selection, construction, equipment ordering and commissioning of the finished assembly plant have to be done in advance.
Therefore, Xiao Qi can start preparations in August now.
Originally, Xiao Qi had planned that Dream Snow should be assembled in two places like Dream Stars. The annual assembly volume of about 150 million units in one place.
But now Xiao Xu has become the performance of Rongcheng City. In order to increase his father's political achievements, Xiao Qi will naturally not move the factory out, but put all the annual assembly capacity of 300 million units in Rongcheng.
Besides, Zhang Zhanzhao also specially invited Xiao Qi over there, and told him about the matter.
Shu Chuan was hit too hard in 512. More than 2 million people have been displaced, and many are still living in temporary tents and resettlement board houses. If Xiao Qi can provide them with a stable job at this time, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for these broken families. Great encouragement.
After Zhang Zhanzhao came to Shuchuan, his attitude towards Xiao Qi has always been very good. Courteous and supportive. So Xiao Qi must also give him face.
However, it is obvious that it is impossible to give all the assembly orders of 300 million units a year to Guo Dong alone. Even if the factories are located in two places, different companies must undertake the OEM business. The atmosphere of competition and chasing each other is also more conducive to Xiao Qi's control.
If it weren't for the lack of initial strength. Xiao Qi would even divide the order of the Dream Pad into two parts, but even if he is not strong enough, Xiao Qi also put the colorful version and the limited edition of the Dream Pad in the Fairy Factory for production, so it can be divided into two parts.
This point of balance has nothing to do with the friendship between Xiao Qi and Guo Taiming. In other words, if we want to have a long-term cooperation, then this kind of balance of separate production is necessary. ——Just like Xiao Qi’s attitude towards suppliers, the same component must be shared by several suppliers. It is the same reason.
Before returning from Hong Kong in July, Xiao Qi revealed the news, saying that he was looking for a large-scale mobile phone foundry, which suddenly aroused the prying eyes of many domestic and foreign foundries.
In fact, the foundry industry has always been controlled by businessmen in Taiwan. Whether it is Foxconn, Pegatron, Nvidia, Compal, Quanta, etc., they have all started successively since the 1980s. working life. With strong strength, it has almost monopolized the production of all electronic products and consumer products in the world.
However, since they do not have any intellectual property rights and only rely on intensive labor for assembly and processing, all they do is physical work, and they are at the bottom of the entire interest chain, so the profits of the foundry are very meager.
In order to make money, the only thing these foundries can do is to lower the wages of workers as much as possible, increase the working hours of workers, and reduce the treatment of workers.
One or two workers can squeeze out not much, but if the number of workers reaches tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, even if they squeeze out another 100 yuan from each worker in a month, it will be tens of millions a month and a year. Hundreds of millions of profits.
There is a good description in modern times for this kind of meager profit that accumulates - hard-earned money.
Yes.
The foundries in Baodao are all successful in making money with hard-earned money, so after 2012, the workers in Huaguo have a stronger sense of self-protection and the idea of fighting for rights and interests. Turn to Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and other countries with cheaper labor costs and better squeeze hard-earned money.
In the previous life, the trajectory of the foundry was probably like this.
But in this life, Xiao Qi decided to change this situation.
In fact, everyone in the foundry industry knows Xiao Qi's distaste for hard-earned foundries. Whether it is asking Red Sea Factory, Star Electronics, and Yinhuang Electronics to improve workers' treatment, or the harsh treatment of Longxing Optical Fiber last year, it all represents Xiao Qi's distaste. A distinctive attitude of Qi.
Therefore, because of the popularity of Fairy Company's products, many foundries in Baodao successively wanted to contact Xiao Qi through various channels, but Xiao Qi refused them all.
Everyone understands why, but they can only smile wryly: You rarely even give us a chance to cooperate, how can we change in advance? With the current list, if you are not strict, there is no way to make money!
Taiwan's foundries have been repeatedly rejected, so that those mainland mobile phone foundries who thought they had no chance saw opportunities.
But they couldn't meet Xiao Qi at first.
Su Xiaomei, head of the General Affairs Department of Fairy Company in charge of the headquarters, and Dai Xian, head of the production department in charge of factory production, are the first two hurdles these foundries need to pass.
Dai Xian is very honest, he only needs to understand the qualifications, capabilities, and scale of these foundries, while Su Xiaomei needs to carefully check the eight generations of ancestors of these foundries through the public relations department.
Do not rely on crooked ways to make a fortune.
Do not do things in a down-to-earth manner.
Those with complicated equity disputes and serious internal friction should not.
Do not treat workers badly.
Don't condone nepotism.
...
With such a series of companies, there are only three foundries that can become the materials in Xiao Qi's hands.
One is Longmu Technology Company in Nanwan. They used to do OEM for Blackberry and Vodafone. The annual OEM volume exceeds 30 million units, and they have cooperated for more than 6 years. They are the core partners of Blackberry and Vodafone.
The second one is from Jinling, named Jingui Electronics. They are foundries of SONY, Sharp and Sanyo in Japan, with an annual order of 22 million units. They have cooperated with several Japanese companies for more than 10 years and have a very good reputation.
The last company is Xindian Technology in Gusu. This company is the core foundry of Nokia N80. It is precisely because it has been an OEM for Nokia for many years, and its quality and construction period are very high, so this time the 50 million units of N80 The order is placed with them.
"Lao Dai and I went to check quietly and inquired about it. The three factories all meet your requirements in every aspect." Standing in front of Xiao Qi, Su Xiaomei said in a playful voice: "It's just that Longmu Technology has Shares in Hong Kong and Singapore, Jingui Electronics is a semi-state-owned enterprise supported by Jiangdong Province. It is somewhat difficult for them to open a new factory in Shuchuan. The remaining Xindian Technology is relatively the best and our favorite recommended."
It is already August, and it is the hottest weather in Shuchuan. Su Xiaomei, who has always advertised herself as a model of an elite lady, naturally dresses up beautifully. She is wearing a gold and silver short-sleeved shirt and a black skirt that narrows to the top of her thighs. Showing her slender and concave-convex moving voice.
In addition, when she stood in front of Xiao Qi, a faint scent of girls' body fragrance mixed with perfume, which was very elegant, penetrated into Xiao Qi's nose, and it smelled very refreshing.
"Then have you gone to talk to them?" Xiao Qi asked while looking at the information.
"Let's talk, they are the ones who came to Shuchuan." Su Xiaomei said: "They are very obedient, they agreed to all our conditions, without any refutation... I think, even if we lower their cost line, Just give them 5% of the profit, I'm afraid they are all willing to do it."
Xiao Qi smiled, Su Xiaomei has never experienced the tragic battle of those small and medium-sized foundries after 2012. At that time, let alone 5% of the profit, there were a lot of manufacturers who made 1% and 2% of the profit. do it!
Whether it is parts or overall assembly OEM, the profit given by Fairy Factory is generally 15%-20%. In addition, there are various subsidies depending on the situation. It can be said that in all high-tech industries, it is given to affiliated companies and suppliers. Give to the one who is most adequate and wealthy.
This is also the reason why dozens of large and medium-sized foundries flocked to Xiannv Company when it said it wanted to find a foundry. This is also the reason why Xindian Technology was ecstatic and dared to promise anything.
Follow the fairy company, there is meat to eat.
Such a concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Then today... well, let's invite them to dinner tomorrow night!" Xiao Qi has already delegated his authority over these matters, "You and Lao Dai will also accompany you. After all, they are partners, so don't neglect them."
"Okay~~"
Su Xiaomei tapped Fenzhen lightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time she has decided on such a big matter by herself. Choosing a new OEM is a very important part of the development of Xiannv Company. Although it has been confirmed repeatedly, she always feels that she still has no idea.
It wasn't until Xiao Qi affirmed that the graceful and charming beauty became happy. (to be continued ~^~)
