Chapter 1427 Cost and Technology
"Mr. Feng, it's really refreshing to see the representatives of so many major PC manufacturers in the world lining up to apologize to us." Liu Chuanzhi looked excited at this time.
"It's more than that. Those with the most violent words all lost money. Going back and donating it in the name of Lianxiang Group, it can improve our reputation." Zong Qingxian also said with a smile.
"After this time, they don't dare to jump around. But there are also disadvantages. They all know about our production costs, and they also see the profit margins of this kind of netbook." Feng Yu put down his teacup and said. .
"There is no way to do this. Before, they thought that this would not make money, or even lose money. Now that they can make money and not delay the sales of their other products, they will definitely make netbooks." Liu Chuanzhi comforted.
"What are you afraid of, we made the reputation first, and after they design it, we should also release the second batch." Zong Qingxian said indifferently.
"Yes, this ordering plan is really good. It not only increases the traffic of our official website, but also allows more people to pay attention to our Lianxiang brand, and the production of this does not account for the cost. They give money first, and we produce it later."
"But Mr. Feng, will they imitate this? If they do this, they will definitely take away a lot of our consumers, right? Why don't we accept the second batch of orders immediately, anyway, the first batch of users, Some have already started shipping." Liu Chuanzhi asked.
Feng Yu shook his head: "No, we let them order. Think about it, how much time did we spend researching this netbook? A lot of hardware is specially designed for this netbook. And we have always been outstanding in the appearance of our products. They can't imitate that."
"They made it so quickly, and the internal structure must imitate us. I won't say whether it infringes our design patent rights. Do you think it was made in such a short time without quality problems? Many evaluations are too late for them."
Liu Chuanzhi's eyes lit up: "Yes, they can't do the continuous boot time test. And they are too rushed, there will definitely be quality problems. When we take advantage of this and make a fuss, it will definitely make them overwhelmed."
Feng Yu snapped his fingers: "Yes, what we want to do is to compare. And our factory has a lower production cost, but they may not be able to achieve it. If their pricing is the same as ours, we can check to see if they violated the law. Dumping laws. If they charge more than us, we still have a price advantage.”
"And don't forget, even if they have the same price as us, they can still guarantee profits, but the profits are definitely not as high as ours. We place orders for these hardware first. If they want to get them urgently, they have to pay more. money."
"So, we can continue to cut prices after a period of time. There are two price reduction schemes, the first is to reduce the price of the current one, and the second is to keep the price unchanged, but upgrade the performance of the netbook, such as the increase of the CPU frequency. , improved screen clarity, improved battery technology, and more.”
"No matter what they do, this netbook leader must be us, and it must be us."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Mr. Feng, I can guarantee this. The scale of our factory is world-class. And we have introduced many international advanced production management methods to ensure our efficiency is maximized. At the beginning, we built world-class manufacturing in the west. Engineering is a wise move, our labor cost is really low." Liu Chuanzhi said excitedly.
Feng Yu waved his hand: "Using labor cost as the main means of competition is what labor-intensive manufacturing should do, and we should be a technology-intensive enterprise. Temporarily using price to crowd out other competitors is a way of reducing our own profits at the same time. The means cannot be used for a long time.”
"We should still be ahead in technology. This is the kingly way. As for production costs, it's good to ensure that it is not too high. Don't let people think that we are even evil exploiters, capitalists."
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Feng,
Although our Lianxiang Group don't donate as much as you, it is also one of the best companies in China. Although the salary we give is not high, it is definitely high locally. Wages will definitely increase over time, and we won't be ripping off our own people. "
"The world-class electronics manufacturing factory we cooperate with Tata Group will be able to start construction next year. The focus of manufacturing will gradually shift there. The labor cost in India is cheaper than ours here."
Hearing Liu Chuanzhi's words, Feng Yu nodded. Although China is a major manufacturing country, it cannot only define itself as a major manufacturing country, but also a major scientific research country.
The added value of technology is much higher than the added value of labor. The manufacturing plants on the western side will mainly supply Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe in the future, while in other places, the factories on the Indian side will be the main ones.
The industrial park on the Huaxia side not only produces computers, but also produces other electronic products such as mobile phones and mp3s. It is a comprehensive consumer electronics manufacturing industrial park invested by Taihua Holdings.
This is second only to Fushikang in China, but its development is much better than that of Fushikang.
In the past life, Fushikang was the world's No. 1 OEM brand and the definer of the production capacity standard of the manufacturing industry.
In this life, Fushikang did not get so many orders in the previous life. For example, Lianxiang Group and others built their own factories. There are some smaller but equally good foundry companies below. Therefore, Fushikang’s development , and it is not as fast as in the previous life.
Perhaps within two years, Fushikang may be surpassed by Taihua Electronics Manufacturing Company in China.
It is also under the leadership of Taihua Holdings that the development of China's consumer electronics industry has gradually begun to change from the low-tech added value of the previous life.
Feng Yu wants to achieve one-stop research and development, production and sales, starting from raw materials, is his own. Taihua crystalline silicon, but the world's first crystalline silicon factory.
The next goal of Feng Yu is to do e-waste recycling. In this regard, the technology of island countries is relatively good, and the world is considered a leader, because their own resources are too few.
Feng Yu has asked Kameda Masao to contact several powerful companies, and plans to acquire them, so that this part of the bargain will not be taken away by the islanders in the future.
In the previous life, the island country took away so many good things in the name of helping Chinese friends "dispose of garbage". Then re-produce it into semi-finished products or finished products, and then sell them back to Huaxia, making a lot of money.
In this life, Feng Yu felt that this part of the money was better earned by Huaxia people.
"You remember, we are not going to go the old way of Galanz, we don't want to do any manufacturing plants. The price can be the weapon, but it cannot be the main weapon. Our main weapon will always have only one kind, and that is technology!"
