People in Xiangjiang work very efficiently. When Zhao Ping returned to the company, he began to contact electronics factories. The electronics factory he wanted to recommend was named Xu's Electronics. It was medium-sized and had only more than 100 employees, but it had a certain

With technical strength, it is one of the supporting manufacturers of AMPEX and often helps AMPEX design some gadgets.

The boss, Xu Tianfeng, started from scratch. Although he did not go to college, he paid great attention to technology and talents. He hired two electronic engineers with high salaries very early. They were responsible for technology and production at Xu's Electronics. Among small and medium-sized electronics factories, they were considered to be the most skilled.

Top notch.

The principle of the game console designed by Chen Bing is very mature. What it needs is production support capabilities. Xu's Electronics should be the electronics factory that best meets Chen Bing's needs.

Xu Tianfeng received a call from Zhao Ping and knew that it was a business introduction for him. He was grateful and took it very seriously. He personally took the engineer to CUHK that afternoon and waited directly outside Chen Bing's classroom.

The appearance of Xu Tianfeng made Chen Bing very surprised. He had to sigh with emotion at the high efficiency shown by the people of Xiangjiang in order to make money. He just finished talking with Zhao Ping at noon, and before evening, people from the electronics factory had already come to him.<

/p>

Originally, Chen Bing wanted to be polite and invite Xu Tianfeng and the others to go to the cafeteria to eat together first. Unexpectedly, Xu Tianfeng was more active than them. "Li Sheng, Chen Sheng, I heard from Zhao Sheng that your product already has a schematic machine and all the drawings have been drawn."

Okay, how about we go take a look first, and then I'll invite you two to have a meal together, and then we'll chat while we eat, how about that?"

Xu Tianfeng was so active, so of course Chen Bing cooperated and led them directly to the dormitory. The principle machine was spread out on the table, and Chen Bing also used the principle machine to demonstrate how to play the push box game. The game has been registered for copyright, and he is no longer afraid of anyone watching it.

Plagiarism later.

Xu Tianfeng has been in the electronics factory for more than 20 years and has rich experience. This time he brought two more engineers, one is responsible for circuit design, and the other is responsible for production and procurement. After looking at the schematic machine and drawings, he basically understood

Countless.

Xu's Electronics has also made calculator products before. It knows that if it does not make such products, the batch size will not be small. Under normal circumstances, it starts with an order quantity of tens of thousands of units. This is at least hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of units.

Wan’s business.

Seeing Qian Jing, Xu Tianfeng became more active and invited the two of them out for dinner. When they arrived at the hotel, he specially asked for a private room and ordered a meal worth nearly a thousand yuan. He kept flattering Li and Chen, saying that the young hero is a promising young man.

.

After building up the atmosphere for a while, Xu Tianfeng finally started to come up with practical information. On the way to the hotel, Xu Tianfeng had already communicated with the two engineers, and now he directly gave out the cooperation plan.

Li Sheng and Chen Sheng, the product you designed is very good. We Xu's Electronics are honored to cooperate with you. As long as you give us three days, we promise to produce ten prototypes according to your requirements, and

Provide a complete set of drawings and component lists.

Chen Bing nodded. He was satisfied with the promise of producing a prototype within three days. Xu Electronics was quite capable. Chen Bing was satisfied. "Xu Sheng, how do you calculate the cost?"

"Sheng Chen, making prototypes is not like mass production. Many processes can only be completed by hand, and the cost will definitely be higher. In this way, for ten sets of prototypes, plus the design fee for all drawings, I will charge you a total of five thousand yuan, which is already enough for you.

The biggest discount for old customers.”

Chen Bing has roughly estimated that the material cost of a game console is about 150 yuan or more. If mass production is carried out, the procurement cost can be reduced a lot, and it is estimated that it should be within 60 yuan.

Calculated in this way, only the material cost, the cost of ten prototypes will reach 1,500 yuan, plus the design fee and labor cost, the quotation of 5,000 yuan is indeed a very favorable price. If today's meal is included, Xu Tianfeng will definitely

It’s not profitable.

"Xu Sheng, we are preparing to launch this product into the lighthouse country market. Our competitors are companies from the neon country, so the quality requirements for the product will be very high, whether it is appearance, space structure design, or device cost.

Achieve maximum optimization."

"Sheng Chen, you can rest assured that our Xu's Electronics has been supporting AMPEX for more than ten years and has never made any mistakes. We are very familiar with the quality requirements of the lighthouse country market.

You were introduced by Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng has taken great care of our Xu Electronics over the years. We will definitely do our best to make this product good, otherwise we will not have the face to meet Zhao Sheng."

Speaking of this, Chen Bing was basically convinced by Xu Tianfeng, but he didn't want to agree too readily, so he deliberately made gestures and pondered.

Xu Tianfeng saw that Chen Bing did not express his position, so he became cruel and continued to increase the pressure, "Chen Sheng, as long as you are willing to trust us, Xu Electronics, all the costs for this sample trial production will be paid by us in advance.

The sample is out. If you are satisfied, we will continue to cooperate. If you are not satisfied, I will not be ashamed to ask for the cost of the trial production and will give you all the information. You will lose at most three days.

”

Xu Tianfeng had already heard Zhao Ping's introduction and knew that Li Shihao was Li Tongshan's only son. Li Tongshan always had a good business reputation in Xiangjiang. Xu Tianfeng was not worried that they would come to prostitute him for nothing. The total trial production fee was 5,000 yuan, and the Li family could not afford to lose this person.

He can also afford the loss.

If after three days, the samples they produced were not satisfactory to Chen Bing, then there must be a technical problem and they did not meet Chen Bing's requirements. Even if he lost the money, he would have spent money to buy experience.

"Okay, Xu Sheng has said it to this extent. I must believe Xu Sheng. You will take these drawings back later. I will wait to see your samples in three days."

After the serious talk, the few of them had a relaxing meal. This was the first time after Chen Bing's rebirth that he ate out for a meal worth a thousand yuan. He was not going to be pretentious, and he treated the meal with a domineering and elegant manner.

After cleaning everything, Xu Tianfeng, who was treating guests, naturally would not despise him for eating too much. He just sighed in his heart that young people have a good appetite.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After dinner, Xu Tianfeng didn't stay any longer and went back to the factory with the drawings. He had to start working overtime overnight. After just negotiating the order, they had already called back to the factory to arrange for overtime personnel.

Three days passed quickly. Xu Tianfeng came to CUHK again as scheduled with ten prototypes. This time Zhao Ping also came with him. He also wanted to see what the finished product of the game console designed by the two looked like.

This game console also uses an integrated design of software and hardware. It stores the memory of the game. It was burned by Chen Bing a long time ago. It was taken away by Xu Tianfeng last time and was directly welded to the circuit board. It was produced this time.

This is the real finished product. After installing the battery, you can turn it on and play games directly.

The appearance of the game console is originally a copy of the Game Boy. It is a mature design that has been tested by the market. Xu's Electronics' manufacturing level is also sufficient. The sample they took out was far ahead of the Game&Watch in terms of appearance alone.

When she saw the product, Chen Bing really felt that she was quite shameless, using Nintendo's second-generation product to compete with her first-generation product. Is this the so-called "using magic to defeat magic"? It is indeed a bit bullying.

After looking at the appearance, it is time to inspect and test the sample. In fact, after installing the battery, start playing the game. The black and white LCD display does not consume much power. It is powered by two AA batteries, which is enough for the game console to run for twenty

Four hours.

A few people each took a game console, installed the battery and started playing. Chen Bing was so familiar with several games that he did not focus on the games, but always paid attention to the sensitivity of the game console.

There are many aspects to the sensitivity of game consoles, including the feel, elasticity, response speed of many buttons, the refresh frequency of the display screen, etc. Chen Bing cannot be said to be particularly professional in this regard, but he has played with enough electronic devices in his previous life and has enough experience.

, naturally able to tell a lot of details that need attention.

Engineers from the electronics factory will naturally write down all the feedback from Chen Bing and optimize it in the next batch of samples. In about half an hour, Chen Bing has said all he needs to say, while he is playing the game and observing.

Other people’s reactions come.

The reactions of several other people are obviously different from Chen Bing. They are used to the roughness of electronic products in this era and do not pay attention to too many details. They are more attracted by games.

Xu Tianfeng and the engineers had already tried these prototypes before they were brought here, and they are still playing them with gusto. Li Shihao is a game fan, and he enjoyed playing them so much that he even exclaimed from time to time.

Zhao Ping had never played video games before, and this was the first time he came into contact with these three games, and he was attracted by them. He first tried "Chinese Cube" and "Snake" several times, and then was attracted by "

"Sokoban" fascinated me.

In just over twenty minutes, he had already reached the second level of difficulty. When Chen Bing observed him, he was staring at the screen attentively, thinking about ways to pass the level, and only occasionally tried a few controls.

Chen Bing did not disturb them, but kept observing the reactions of these people from time to time. More than an hour passed quickly. Chen Bing was very satisfied with their reactions. He put down the game console in his hand and asked: "What do you think of this product?"

?"

Everyone put down their game consoles, with expressions of unfinished intent on their faces. Li Shihao was the first to speak, "Brother Bing, this game console is much more fun than Game&Watch. It's so awesome."

Xu Tianfeng also chatted: "Chen Sheng, this product is very good. I believe it will be a big seller after it is put on the market. It is our honor at Xu's Electronics to be able to participate in the development of this product."

Chen Bing turned to look at Zhao Ping, "Professor Zhao, you have the most experience, please help with your review."

When Zhao Ping just put down the game console, he looked at his watch and found that he had been playing for more than an hour before he knew it. He sighed in his heart, video games are really easy to get addicted to.

However, as a visiting professor at CUHK, Zhao Ping still had to put up a good show in front of the two students, "The product is very good, Ah Hao, Chen Bing, you should start thinking about setting up a company and officially operating this product."

Chen Bing nodded to Zhao Ping, indicating that he had accepted his opinion. Seeing that everyone was unanimous in their praise, Chen Bing did not continue to ask about his thoughts, but began to discuss production-related issues.

"Xu Sheng, is there room for optimization in circuit board design and device selection? Can the current design be mass-produced? If you are asked to help with production, can the supply price be calculated?"

"Sheng Chen, the circuit board, components, and casing are all designed in accordance with the requirements of mass production. They all use the most mature solutions. It is not difficult to organize mass production.

As for the supply price, it depends on the order quantity. If the production is less than 5,000 units, it can probably be less than 120 yuan per unit. If the order quantity exceeds 5,000 units, the shell and other accessories can be molded, at least it can be controlled at

Less than 80 yuan, 60 yuan for 10,000 units, 50 yuan for 50,000 units.”

Chen Bing was not in a hurry to discuss the price, but instead asked, "How is your production capacity?"

"We are specialized in production. We can arrange a production capacity of 300 units a day at any time. If there are more, we will need to set up a special production line. One production line can reach a daily production of 1,000 units."

"If you are allowed to produce at full capacity, how many production lines can you produce at most?"

Xu Tianfeng perked up, communicated a few words in a low voice with the subordinate next to him, and replied, "Our sites and personnel can run up to five production lines at the same time. This is when all other orders are given up. If there are more, we will have to find new sites."

”

Chen Bing nodded, knowing what he was doing, but he didn't delve any further into the matter of production capacity. Chen Bing has no plans to build his own factory for the time being. First, he doesn't have enough assets on hand, and second, he doesn't have the talent to manage the factory.

In addition, he came to Xiangjiang as a government-sponsored international student. It is impossible to drop out of school and start a business now. The school curriculum is very tight and there is no time to manage too many details.

Outsourcing production can make Chen Bing much more relaxed. With this cooperation, Xu Electronics should be a good partner. Although five production lines and a daily production capacity of 5,000 units are definitely not enough, we are now talking about the issue of production expansion.

It's still too early.

"Xu Sheng, the appearance and function of this batch of samples can meet our requirements. Now we should dismantle these prototypes to see if there is anything that can be optimized about the internal circuit boards and spatial structure.

I have just discovered some small areas that can be improved. Now let's take a closer look and write down all the problems. Improvements will be made in the next batch of prototypes. It is best to make the next batch of prototypes before the product can be officially finalized.<

/p>

Professor Zhao, I would like to trouble you to help us strictly control the situation."

The subsequent disassembly and discussion lasted for more than two hours. Everyone here was a professional, and Li Shihao, the lowest-level person, also studied electronic engineering for more than two years. The discussion was very detailed, and there were no big problems.

, but there are many small places that can be optimized.

When the discussion was almost done, Chen Bing finally made a decision, "Xu Sheng, please correct these small issues just discussed in the next version of the sample. Just make 60 of the next batch of prototypes and send us half of them."

, the remaining half is directly used for aging life testing."
