Chapter 1519 High Cost, Capacity Constraints
In fact, in addition to these three names, there is one more name.
That is the name "Chaos" that was originally named.
To be honest, Liu Mingyu felt very satisfied with these four names.
Since they all like it, why make a choice, these four names will be included in the series names of future Xingchen mobile phones.
But before that, you still have to choose a name as the name of the first Xingchen mobile phone.
After thinking about it, Liu Mingyu felt that it was the most appropriate to choose the first name.
chaos.
It refers to the blurred state of the universe before the universe was opened up.
is the beginning of everything.
The Xingchen mobile phone is a brand new mobile phone, which is different from the previous mobile phones and is an epoch-making mobile phone.
Chaos name.
feasible.
In the end, Liu Mingyu chose the first name.
Liu Mingyu finally wrote the first name on the document review comments.
Finally, the launch date of Xingchen mobile phone, Zhao Qingsong and the others also gave several choices.
One is to choose June 18.
618 was originally a store celebration day belonging to a certain east. At that time, as more and more platforms joined, it was not only a store celebration day in a certain east, but also became a national online shopping carnival like "Double Eleven".
Every year to this festival, the power of national online shopping is very huge.
Almost all products are able to get more traffic than usual, and sales are also rising.
It's getting higher every year.
If you choose this day, you can make the sales of Xingchen mobile phones more beautiful.
From the point of view of time, this time point is really good, it can attract the attention of countless people and let the product get greater exposure.
But there is a fatal disadvantage, that is, insufficient production.
Although Xingchen Group has increased its production capacity after establishing the subsidiary Xingchen Mobile and developing a preliminary prototype.
But after all, the establishment time is too short, it is quite difficult to produce the required spare parts normally, let alone large-scale production.
Liu Mingyu frowned, and he decided to ask Zhao Qingsong to come over and find out more about the situation.
A simple text report is still not comprehensive enough.
Liu Mingyu immediately called Xu Ranran outside: "Go to Mr. Zhao and let him come to me after he is free."
As the general manager of Xingchen Group, Zhao Qingsong is quite busy. Although Liu Mingyu wants to know the specific situation of Xingchen mobile phone, he does not want to disturb his work.
Zhao Qingsong works hard for himself, and what he loses is all his.
"Okay, boss." Xu Ranran nodded in response.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Liu Mingyu shouted in a low voice.
The door opened, and Xu Ranran brought Zhao Qingsong to the office.
"Director Liu, President Zhao is here."
Liu Mingyu stood up from his seat, came to the sofa, pointed to the seat opposite, and smiled at Zhao Qingsong: "Come on, sit down and talk."
After the two sat down, Xu Ranran went out to make a cup of coffee for Zhao Qingsong and changed a pot of tea for Liu Mingyu.
After doing this, he exited the office wisely, leaving space for the two of them to talk.
Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "I didn't disturb your work."
Zhao Qingsong smiled slightly and said, "Boss, do you have something important to explain to me?"
When he came over just now, Zhao Qingsong asked Xu Ranran, but she didn't know what happened and couldn't get an answer from Xu Ranran.
Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal.
I came to you this time, just want to find you to know how the progress of Xingchen mobile phone is.
I have read your previous report, and I have basically made a decision in my mind, but there are some issues that still need to be personally understood before making a decision. "
"I wonder if the boss has any questions?"
Zhao Qingsong quickly reacted to what Liu Mingyu said.
Xingchen mobile phone can also be regarded as a key project of Xingchen Group in the near future. We have a relatively thorough understanding of all aspects of Xingchen mobile phone.
Liu Mingyu smiled and said: "According to your previous report, there are several aspects that need to be told to you. First, in terms of naming, I think it is still the first name, Chaos, as the first series of Xingchen mobile phones."
"No problem." Zhao Qingsong nodded slightly. He didn't have much opinion on the name issue. The reason why he brought up several names was mainly to seek Liu Mingyu's opinion.
Even if he chooses someone else's name again, it is understandable.
"Second, the pricing issue. According to the documents you submitted, the cost price of our mobile phone is around 11,000, and the estimated sales price is 15,000.
Will the price be too high? Can the cost go down further? "
In fact, at the very beginning, Liu Mingyu already had a certain estimate of the price of Xingchen mobile phone, and the estimate at that time was around 10,000.
But Liu Mingyu didn't expect that the core chips would need such a high cost price if they were produced in the apocalyptic world.
Zhao Qingsong shook his head slightly and said: "Boss, this is already the cost after a large amount of compression, mainly because the spare parts of Xingchen mobile phone are all top-notch products here, and the price is there, even if it is purchased in large quantities, it can be The decline is also very small.
Unless it is the quality of the compressed material, the cost of the phone can be reduced. "
In terms of cost reduction, Xingchen Group has achieved the ultimate goal.
Since Zhao Qingsong took over, he has been preparing to build a closed full ecological platform.
The Xingchen Group has a wide variety of terminal products, and the number is also very large, and the spare parts that need to be purchased have also reached a terrifying number.
The Xingchen Group directly acquired the manufacturers of those related accessories, and let those manufacturers produce the necessary accessories for themselves.
In this way, the cost can be greatly reduced.
The idea is very good, but it still can't be truly self-produced and sold.
There are some spare parts that still need to be purchased from other companies.
In this way, there is a problem that the production capacity of other companies is limited, and the quality is also very unstable, resulting in greatly limited production capacity.
In order to solve this problem, Zhao Qingsong finally chose to produce by himself.
However, this takes time and is not something that can be solved in a short time.
Give Zhao Qingsong another year, and the ideal fully closed ecosystem can be built.
At that time, Xingchen Group will be able to truly produce and sell by itself.
Of course, this kind of self-production and self-marketing is only nominal self-production and self-selling.
Some basic resources cannot be monopolized by Xingchen Group.
Since most of the spare parts production is to be placed in the real world, this is bound to happen.
Compared with the apocalyptic world, the industrial foundation of the real world is relatively weak. The technologies that seem to be extremely sparse and common in the apocalyptic world are also top-notch technologies when placed in the real world.
Liu Mingyu naturally knew this, and nodded slightly and replied, "Can you make the Xingchen mobile phone into two versions, a low-profile version, except for the core chip, other materials are assembled with relatively cheap spare parts, and the other is a low-profile version. It exists as a high-end version according to the existing version."
Zhao Qingsong nodded and replied: "There is no problem with this, but I am worried that the technical aspects may not be able to support it.
After all, the Xingchen mobile phone was originally the lowest version that could be manufactured according to the existing industrial technology.
I am afraid that if we continue to castrate, there are many functions that cannot be realized. "
Originally, this mobile phone was the product of castration on the end of the apocalypse with reference to the industrial technology in the real world.
If castration is carried out again now, I am afraid that Xingchen mobile phone will only become a relatively high-end mobile phone, and it will not reach that epoch-making product.
Liu Mingyu was also stunned for a moment. He just wanted to reduce costs and didn't consider other aspects.
Lower costs inevitably lower performance.
Reduced performance, will inevitably lead to many functions can not be realized.
And the reason why Xingchen mobile phone can attract the attention of consumers is because of its unique function?
If it is only slightly higher-end than other mobile phones, it cannot be said that there is no market, but it can be said that it may disappoint everyone in the end.
by that time.
Produced by Xingchen, it must be a fine product.
This phrase is likely to disappear.
Zhao Qingsong seemed to be aware of Liu Mingyu's desire to promote Xingchen mobile phone, and said softly, "Boss, don't worry too much.
Even if the price is 15,000, as long as the mobile phone is good enough, it can still arouse everyone's love.
The price of virtual helmets varies as high as 10,000 yuan, and sales are also rising.
As long as the number reaches a certain level, it will be able to attract those spare parts manufacturers to lower their own costs, so that the overall cost will continue to decline. "
The price of the first batch of virtual helmets is as high as more than 8,000 yuan.
However, the price is only 10,000 yuan.
Apart from the cost of sales and transportation costs, in fact, the Xingchen Group does not earn much.
However, because of the increase in the number of virtual helmets behind, the core chips are produced from the end of the world, and the overall cost has dropped significantly.
Up to now, it has only been a few months, and the overall cost, which is a series of costs including sales costs, transportation costs, etc., adds up to only 5,000 yuan.
Xingchen Group is making a lot of money in this regard, and the acquisition costs of many subsidiaries are all earned in this regard.
Virtual helmets can do this, and Xingchen mobile phones can also do this.
What's more, this price refers to the price of the Chinese version. According to the usual practice of Xingchen Group, it will be divided into the Chinese version and the international version.
The Xingchen Group will never suffer, and it can also make a lot of money.
"As for the price, it can be lowered a little bit, let's set a price of 12,000."
Liu Mingyu thought for a while and gave a new price.
The price is 12,000. It can't be said that it is not profitable, but it can only be said that it does not make a lot of money.
However, there is still a certain promotion for Liu Mingyu to promote the industrial development of the whole world.
Moreover, of the 11,000 yuan in the cost, the core chip accounts for the largest proportion, which is as high as 5,000 yuan.
The core chip is an accessory produced by Liu Mingyu in the end world.
After removing the 5,000 yuan, the overall cost is only 6,000 yuan.
If this is the case, the Xingchen Group will make a lot of money.
However, this is not the way to calculate the account. Although the core chip is produced by Liu Mingyu in the apocalypse world, it still requires a cost, but this cost is not reflected in the real world, but in the apocalypse world.
The entire book is also related to tax payment, and Liu Mingyu did not deliberately remove the core chip.
The Huaxia version of Xingchen Mobile Chaos 1.0 is priced at 12,000 yuan, and the international version is priced at 12,000 US dollars.
After finalizing the price, Liu Mingyu continued: "I look at the time of your listing, there is a time to choose 618, but I found that there is a serious problem, the output of Xingchen mobile phone is only 1 million mobile phones, if this mobile phone is placed in this In the days, I am afraid that it is not enough, haven't you increased production capacity during this time?"
1 million mobile phones, for other companies, is already a pretty good sales.
But this number is far from enough for Xingchen mobile phones.
Liu Mingyu is so confident. If he didn't get the system, he would only need 12,000 when he saw such a mobile phone.
This is definitely not an exaggeration.
Don't you see, when the Apple 4 first appeared, some people even sold their kidneys to buy a mobile phone in order to be able to buy one.
I don't know that person. Looking back on his actions now, will he regret it a lot?
There is no regret medicine in the world, you have to bear the consequences for your actions.
In fact, it was not just like this before. Even now, you can often see some jaw-dropping and ridiculous news on the news.
An ordinary Apple phone can cause such behavior.
As an epoch-making new mobile phone, how can it not be exciting?
1 million mobile phones is too few, even if it is doubled several times, it is far from enough.
Not to mention on a major festival like 618.
"This period of time has been increasing production capacity. If the time is delayed, the overall output can be doubled several times."
As early as the first confirmation of the prototype, Zhao Qingsong has already mobilized the working staff to expand production capacity.
However, if the production capacity is not to be expanded immediately, it will take time.
Now that there is less than a month left until 618, 1 million mobile phones can be expelled, and it is already necessary to work overtime all night to get out.
Although the core chip of the Xingchen mobile phone was shipped by Liu Mingyu from the apocalyptic world, other accessories are equally important, and it takes a certain amount of time to manufacture.
"How long will it take? Can the overall output reach 5 million units?"
Liu Mingyu pondered for a while and asked.
If there are only 1 million units, it is far from meeting the market demand. Even if it is 5 million units, I am afraid it will be a little overhang.
But there are no absolutes, there are 1 million units, and it can also start the name of Xingchen mobile phone.
After the follow-up production capacity comes up, unrestricted sales will be carried out.
In this situation, it may be necessary to implement
