Chapter 2042 Real Tyrant Limited Edition!

Fairy Company now has two factories in total, producing Dream Pad and Dream Stars respectively, and is preparing for the third Dream Snow factory.

Of course, the production of Dream Pad, Dream Stars and Dream Snow is not ordinary models, but customized limited models.

Nine models of Dream Pad, including colorful, gold and pink, are all produced in Xiannv No. 1 Factory. 10,000 workers work hard to ensure that these limited editions are supplied to the global market.

Fairy No. 2 Factory produces Dream Stars, but since the beginning of mass production at the end of last year, due to insufficient production, Fairy No. 2 Factory has produced the ordinary version of Dream Stars.

In May of this year, when a super earthquake broke out, the production of Dream Stars Red Sea Factory and Fairy No. Limited edition Dream Stars.

The limited edition Dream Stars is no longer just a color difference, because Dream Stars already has black, gold, silver and pink.

If some color changes are made, it will not be very meaningful, and it seems to coincide with the idea of ​​Dream Pad.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Qi is reincarnated, he has already thought about what to do with the limited edition of Dream Stars.

That is - real gold, silver plus platinum, diamond version!

That's right!

It is the version of the frame and back shell made of gold, the version of the frame and back shell made of silver, the version of the frame and back shell made of platinum, and the version of the frame and back shell inlaid with broken diamonds.

And the back shells of these four limited editions cannot be disassembled.

Otherwise, others can take away your real gold, silver, platinum and diamond casing casually, wouldn't you want to cry without tears?

This is incredible.

Although it is only the shell and the frame, it basically belongs to the category of decoration, but it is not something ordinary people can do to polish these fine frames into real gold, silver and platinum, or even inlaid with diamonds without cutting their hands. that's it.

Just training. Xiao Qi invited special handicraft masters to train for more than three months. They usually spend half a day at work to make the ordinary version of Dream Stars. Take half a day to learn crafts such as polishing and assembling.

Then there is the purchase of materials and equipment.

Xiao Qi specially ordered machinery and equipment from Germany and Israel. Xiao Qi spent a full 1 billion US dollars on these hundreds of machines and tens of thousands of sets of equipment alone!

Gold, silver, and platinum are easy to buy. After you buy them, you will use a special machine to stamp the mold, press it into a rough embryo, and then slowly polish it. Finally, it is assembled into a mobile phone.

There are great requirements for the fineness of the process in the middle, and this is no better than the nine models of Dream Pad, because the fineness is higher, and the softness and hardness of gold and silver are completely different from the previous aluminum alloys, so The process is much more cumbersome and requires a lot more manpower.

The gold limited edition, silver limited edition and platinum limited edition workers have been trained by craftsmen in eastern Guangdong for three months, which is still relatively small.

Because of the limited edition. The hardest is the diamond version.

The first is that the materials are rare. With so many machines, it is impossible for each of them to be made of diamonds measured in carats. How many people can afford it?

So use a drill.

Although all kinds of broken diamonds are cheap, Xiao Qi requires white, pink, yellow, blue, red... and other colors to be the best. This increases the difficulty of procurement.

Then, diamonds are relatively sharp. How to polish them can not only keep the diamonds sparkling, but also make users feel comfortable when holding and touching them without cutting their hands. It is completely necessary to test the fineness of the machine and the final fine repair. Fine-tuned artisan craftsmanship throughout.

The machine can be initially polished and trimmed, but in the end it must be manually fine-tuned to ensure the final feel and sparkle.

Moreover, this kind of craftsman's craftsmanship cannot be mechanized, and it cannot be operated by ordinary workers after a few months of training-real money is fine.

So, people from the Second Fairy Factory. After entering Xiannv Company around October last year, the first step was screening. People with ingenuity were selected. From the beginning, they did not join the ranks of the ordinary version of Dream Stars. They were all trained and guided by diamond craftsmen from Israel. Excluding the earthquake relief time in the middle, they trained for almost six months. It can be regarded as barely mastering the skill.

In September, the 10,000 workers finally entered the stage of initial familiarity, divided into four teams, and started Dream Stars of silver limited edition, gold limited edition, platinum limited edition and diamond limited edition.

But because it was the first official production, many workers were not used to it at the beginning, and they couldn't do it well. It took a whole month of September, and the qualified finished products were only more than 30,000. Basically, one person made three, and the average One in ten days, but there are as many as 60,000 waste products, which is twice the number of finished products!

Gold, silver, and platinum are better, just recast the mold after melting.

But if you want to inlay the diamonds and then remove them from the broken aluminum alloy casing, it is unlikely, at least not all of them can be removed intact, the damage rate is at least one-third, maybe It is all scrapped.

Fortunately, the workers who made the diamond limited edition also knew this. They were careful and careful when making it. Although the speed was a bit slower, the yield rate reached more than 60%, and the total finished product per month was more than 2,000.

With such a low yield rate, Dai Xian and other factory managers couldn't eat or sleep well for a month, and felt very distressed!

Tens of millions and hundreds of millions of money are wasted like this, who can stand it!

Fortunately, in October, the yield rate slowly increased.

Although the overall good product rate is still only about 50%, it is much higher than before. The skilled craftsmen in eastern Guangdong and Israel finally feel that they are barely qualified.

I believe that if they are allowed to practice for a few more months, the good product rate will remain at about 80%, which is no problem.

After completing the training, Xiao Qi did not release the craftsmen from eastern Guangdong and Israel, but hired them as technical supervisors, as long as any of them felt that any limited edition Dream Stars was unqualified. Then it has to be taken back and disassembled for redoing.

the reason is simple.

People pay a lot of money to buy your limited edition, but you come out with substandard quality. This is completely smashing the brand!

I would rather be harsh than muddle through!

However, when Dai Xian, the factory supervisor, gave Xiao Qi the operating status information, Xiao Qi still shook his head a little bit.

This extravagant limited edition is indeed a serious waste of resources and manpower.

My 10,000-person Xiannv No. 1 factory is working hard every month and can produce 2 million Dream Pads.

But look at the way it is now. Fairy No. 2 Factory produces the luxury limited edition Dream Stars, and can produce a total of 100,000 units a month. I should be satisfied.

Since it consumes so much manpower and material resources, the price may not be higher, and I must be sorry for myself.

So Xiao Qi pondered for a while, and referred to the price of the iPhone from Goldgenie, a British luxury goods customization company in his previous life, which was basically $3,500 and upwards. This is just the gold version, the platinum version and the rose gold version expensive.

Then people like Xiao Qi can be called "price black-hearted businessmen". Although considering that the number of its shipments is definitely not comparable to that of Goldgenie, Goldgenie has not released the limited edition of IPHONE at this time, as the first manufacturer of luxury limited edition. Xiao Qi is of course more expensive.

Finally, October 31st, just before the start of the advertising plan. Xiao Qi also finally set the price for the limited edition of the 32G version.

The silver limited edition Dream Stars is priced at US$1,888, accounting for 40% of the total limited editions.

The gold limited edition Dream Stars is priced at US$3,888, accounting for 30% of the total number of limited editions.

The platinum limited edition Dream Stars is priced at US$5,888, accounting for 20% of the total limited editions.

The diamond limited edition Dream Stars is priced at US$12,888-18,888 depending on the color and quality of the diamonds used, which together account for 10% of the total number of limited editions.

The price is the global unified pre-tax price, and the mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions will no longer enjoy any discounts.

After all, Xiao Qi's cheapness to Fairy Company's products is based on ordinary fans. But what comes out now is a super luxury product, why are you polite to the rich?

The cost of my machinery is as high as 1 billion US dollars. How can you recover the cost if it is not expensive?

The more polite you are, the more unhappy others might feel?

how?

Think I don’t have as much money as foreigners, so you have to give me a discount?

Pooh!

I'll tell you kid, sir, I'm not short of money!

Ok.

The above words are Xiao Qi's own thoughts, but he has the confidence to think about the mentality of the rich, because in his previous life, he has seen too many rich people who are not bad for money and arrogant.

Regarding Xiao Qi's pricing, a group of middle and high-level executives of Fairy Company had some doubts in their hearts.

Gold, platinum and diamond limited editions are fine, they are true luxury items after all.

But the silver version is close to RMB 14,000, which makes it very expensive. After all, the average price of the ordinary version of Dream Stars is only 4,800, which is almost doubled!

Can it be sold at such a high price?

Xiao Qi has no nonsense about this, anyway, the advertisement will start on November 1st, let's use the facts to speak! (to be continued ~^~)

PS:  Haha, thank you for your big rewards! I wish you all a happy new year brothers! The continuous improvement of reading, the smooth and smooth work, and the booming business!
