Chapter 1052 Unsatisfactory

The expansion of the Kirin Toy Factory is just one of the recent projects in the Kirin Industrial Park.

In fact, last month, Yin Jun ordered the construction of another factory to start.

It is the factory building of the established Kirin Copy Company.

In this era, Yin Jun naturally believed more in the copying technology of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Disney and United Artists Film Company both had their own copying factories that they were familiar with, so it was relatively easy to purchase technology and equipment.

The entire factory was built in accordance with European and American standards. The area is larger than the factory workshops of Transformers toys and Saint Seiya toys. However, this is mainly because the production line covers a relatively large area and not many real workers are needed.

Including connecting technical and daily staff, Kirin Copy Company only has 750 people, and only 600 workers on the production line, which is divided into two shifts.

When necessary, these 600 people were divided into three teams and copied the film 24 hours a day. There was no need to worry about the production speed and quality assurance.

However, this time Yin Jun's investment in the entire Erqilin Copy Company was still very large, so that the initial production cost of the copies was very high.

Yin Jun spent 150 million Hong Kong dollars just to purchase film copying technology patents from seven companies, including Panasonic, Philips, and Federal Electronics Technology Company, and then spent another 70 million Hong Kong dollars on customizing various equipment.

Finally, Xiangjiang Shengya Copy Company, which was successfully acquired in early December, also cost Yin Jun 30 million.

This copy company, ranked third in Hong Kong, actually has a small production scale and not much profit every year, but Yin Jun took a fancy to them and purchased the same technology as the previous two. As a result, their production results were the best after three years. Advantages, I felt that the 30-year-old young man named Zheng Mingguang had very good ideas and execution ability, so I simply bought it together with the company leaders.

Shengya Copy Company was integrated into Kirin Copy Company as a whole, and then Zheng Mingguang was asked to lead the team to expand the team, including what technologies needed to be purchased and how to purchase equipment. He and others went to the United States to negotiate.

In just one month, all these preparations were completed, which made Yin Jun very satisfied.

The boy doesn't know anyone who is very fast, but he likes his subordinates to do things quickly, because the boy hates procrastination.

However, movies and TV series are excepted. The longer these things are worn, the more they become like old wine, the longer they become fragrant.

Since patents and technology cost too much, Zheng Mingguang convened his staff to make careful calculations. If the production cost is included in the initial stage, the cost price of an ordinary 100-minute copy will be around HK$4,500.

You know, you can get a copy produced by a local copy company in Xiangjiang for 2000-3000, and the cost is only 70% to 80% at most, which is about 1600-2400.

As a result, the cost of Qilin Copy Company doubled in one breath. Even if it is a non-profitable flat, it should be 5,000 yuan each.

A copy of 5,000 yuan seems a bit embarrassing at present.

There are cheap local copies in Xiangjiang below. If you add more than 1,000 to the above, you can buy them directly from Japan.

Kirin Copy Company has now set up the production line and started trial production.

Judging from the current effect, it is also very embarrassing.

It is indeed better than the copy produced by Xiangjiang, about 50% better than the previous copy made by Shengya Co., Ltd., but it is still about 30% worse than the copy made in Japan.

In terms of the processing of light, the processing of side characters and color, and the overall picture presentation style, it has some shortcomings. Taken together, it is worse than others in Japan.

Therefore, your selling price of 5,000 yuan is simply useless.

Originally, Yin Jun felt that he could not finish all the copies he had supplied just from films from Kirin Film Company, as well as films from Disney and United Artists Film Company.

But now when he heard what Zheng Mingguang said, Yin Jun couldn't help but feel worried.

"Lower the price and sell a copy for 3,000 yuan." Gritting his teeth, the young man made this decision, "Specially supply to local small and medium-sized film companies. If Baodao can also get it, tell Cai Songlin that we can make 2,500 copies. They can publish it! Without a LOGO, they don’t have to worry about being traced!”

Zheng Mingguang's eyes were full of disbelief: "Young Master Jun... If we make 20,000 copies a year, we will lose almost 30 to 40 million!"

"If not, how can you still sell it for 5,000? The machine has been bought, the personnel have been trained, and everything is ready. Do we want to stop?" Yin Jun sighed, "You want us to turn losses into profits as soon as possible. You should focus on technology, try your best to understand their technology, adjust the production line, and develop our own good copying technology!"

Zheng Mingguang wanted to say something more, but in the end he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Mr. Jun! If you can't turn a profit after one year, I, Old Zheng, will definitely give you an explanation!"

"There's no need to be so nervous. Mastering technology is a long-term thing. I'd rather you do it carefully and slowly, rather than causing instability in the pursuit of speed." Yin Jun smiled, "How to motivate technicians? You are better at one thing than me. You have to tell them what kind of vast global market we will face in the future! If Qilin Culture is good, then Qilin Copy Company will be good; if Qilin Copy Company is good, their lives will definitely be better. The better!”

"I see!"

Zheng Mingguang said seriously.

Yin Jun's generosity to his subordinates is known to everyone in Xiangjiang.

And unlike other company bosses, Yin Jun also pays more attention to those who have made outstanding contributions in various fields of the company.

For example, last year, an ordinary worker at the Kirin Toy Factory solved the problem of the joint material of the large Transformers toy being too hard and unable to be reversed. Yin Jun directly awarded him an additional bonus of 1 million, which was enough for him to buy a 700-square-foot With a big house, the family now has a home that truly belongs to them.

Also this year, an editorial team of "Qilin Daily" was responsible for the complaint section that was rated as the most popular section by readers for 12 consecutive issues, so Yin Jun awarded them a total bonus of 10 million, and a dozen of them shared it together, which can be said to be Is smiling from ear to ear.

Kirin Game Company, the Japanese team that created the miracle of arcade machine sales, is said to have offered a sky-high reward of tens of millions of dollars due to the popularity of "Xiangjiang Cube". It is really enviable to say it.

Therefore, Zheng Mingguang has no doubt that if he has 50 technicians, whoever can improve the quality of the copy will definitely be stunned by Yin Jun's large reward.

People in Xiangjiang, no, all people in the world, hope that the fruits of their labor will be recognized and receive various honors and awards.

Once they know that Yin Jun has won the grand prize, everyone will be more motivated.

The Chinese people definitely do not lack smart minds, they just lack the opportunities to put these smart ideas into practice.

Now Yin Jun's support for them goes beyond bonuses.

Among the 70 million Hong Kong dollars in equipment, there are more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in R&D equipment. These are the latest equipment bought from Japan. As long as these are used well, there is no problem in improving the quality of the copies.

…

When Zheng Mingguang went out, Yin Jun smiled to himself.

Thinking that I was still too impatient, I thought that as soon as this factory was established, it would be able to operate at full capacity, so that it could first supply its own company, and then develop to film studios in the mainland and around the world, becoming another flagship product of Kirin Culture. Continue to add a big bargaining chip to our closed industrial chain.

But the fact gave Yin Jun a reminder.

Any technology requires very hard work to become outstanding.

In the copying industry, there are many professional technologies that need to be overcome, and more improvements in production are needed to coordinate the production line and finally produce estranged copies.

This time may be one or two years, or it may be three to five years.

Yin Jun had no experience in making copies in his previous life, so he naturally had no way to help them. He could only hope that the technical staff from the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Europe that he had hired with high salaries could work as expected. Break through technical difficulties as soon as possible.

Before that, losses were a given.

That is to say, Yin Jun now has money in his hands. Otherwise, the more he produces, the more he will lose. Losing tens of millions a year is really not something anyone can bear.

However, no matter how much he suffered, Yin Jun never thought about letting his own Kirin Film Company, Disney and United Artists Film Company use Kirin Film Company's copies.

The viewing experience of a movie is an important thing that directly affects the box office. Otherwise, the price of the copy will be doubled, tripled... or even dozens of times different like IMAX. Where does the reason come from?

If you are greedy for this small profit and make people think that the movies produced by these three film companies are not very good, and you are not willing to watch them a second time, then it is really called losing more than the gain.

Until the copying company's copies reach the world's leading image quality and effects, you can still only buy copies from other people's first-class copying factories.

I feel a little distressed to spend this money, but I have to spend it, and I keep spending and burning money.

Some industries are like this. You have to endure it over time. Before you succeed, you can only endure the pain and losses and continue to move forward with a heavy load.

Once you back down and give up midway, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

Only those who persist to the end can see the dazzling scenery on the top of the mountain and taste the joy of success.
