Chapter 117: Returning to Hometown
It turned out that he had dug such a pit and was waiting for him. No wonder Duke felt a little strange.
Wang Guosheng's plan really beats two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it solves the rationality of bringing the code back to China, and on the other hand, it also finds a strong support for some domestic companies in trouble. It has to be said that Wang Guosheng's abacus is quite good. Duke and his team have to hire thousands of people in a few months. This kind of pollution-free high-tech factory that can solve the larger labor force is indeed urgently needed in China. [bsp; Although there are labor shortages everywhere, everyone knows that this is just because the wages of migrant workers were reduced to a level that could not be lower, which basically made everyone unable to make a living. Who can still do it? If you want to find workers just by giving some food, it should have ended. Now it is time to return to a reasonable employment price.
According to the situation of the Duke factory, raising a worker in California will cost $560,000 a year. If you hire it as a temporary worker, the cost will increase by more than 20%.
Workers of the same level, under normal circumstances, 560,000 yuan a year is a relatively reasonable price. This price can basically satisfy most workers. Factorys like Duke with technological content can also benefit a lot from it. Compared with 560,000 yuan, which is more than 6 times the difference between 560,000 yuan and 560,000 US dollars.
Judging from the production costs of single-piece artificial water and electricity for Duke Brain Wave products, each production in a California factory is about 30 US dollars. If you arrive in China, it can be reduced to at least 15 US dollars based on domestic workers' wages and factory rental prices.
Duke was not unexpected about this huge cost difference, but he knew the current situation in China. If there was no strong relationship, there would be too many elbow controls. The cycle of building a factory in the mainland was too long and there would be too many pick-ups. If he delayed it for a year or two, he would miss the opportunity, and the daylily would be cold.
Not to mention that there are no capable personnel in China to manage it, but now with Wang Guosheng's hint, the relevant departments must have some arrangements, perhaps cooperating with a certain company or research institute. Although Duke is used to achieve the purpose of transforming some difficult companies in China, this matter is properly operated and Duke has gained huge benefits from it.
Because in this way, both ready-made factories and workers can have them immediately, and the product technology requirements designed by Clement are not too high. Basically, ordinary workers can take up their jobs by simply training. Therefore, Duke can basically spend a very little cost to form huge production capacity, making up for the shortcomings of current insufficient production capacity in one fell swoop.
If the domestic brain wave product market can be opened, it will be better, and the company will develop faster. At that time, cash flow will continue to come, which will directly shorten the growth time of Mi Company. This is the biggest benefit of cooperating with relevant departments to do business. It has low risks and high returns. Of course, the premise is that there must be strong relationships.
This is completely different from his own return and starting from scratch.
However, Duke felt that he had to control his own management before he could feel at ease. The style of doing things in some people in the system was so painful. Now for him, the biggest headache was how to find some qualified managers for this new company.
"Okay, since you are all ready," Duke said helplessly. "What else do I have to say? Go back and discuss with a few supervisors of the company to see who to take back to run. But there is one thing I have to make clear first. Whether it is this joint venture or cooperation, we must decide the final decision, that is, Mi Company is the controlling party."
Duke must adhere to this principle, otherwise no matter how good the thing is, it will be consumed internally.
"It's absolutely fine. You have helped us a lot," Wang Guosheng said sincerely. "We will send someone to contact you about the contacts after returning to China. And when investing in and setting up factories in China, we will also say hello through relevant departments to recommend some suitable partners for you, and we will definitely not let your company suffer."
"In addition, in New York, if there is anything important to discuss, it is more reassuring to come here to discuss it." Finally, Wang Guosheng said meaningfully.
He believed that Duke would definitely understand after saying this. Although doing so violates organizational discipline, Duke has always completed the things assigned by the state for a while. A little exposed outside venue like this can lay a better foundation for future work.
Originally, this place was a very peripheral place for relevant departments, but because the place was decorated with one hand and one foot, there was no need to worry about eavesdropping. This is also the reason why Wang Guosheng brought Duke here to discuss things today. It is not as safer as here in the company.
And Boss Zhu is indeed a real chef. He knows nothing about these things and his identity is as clean as a piece of white paper. He is a person who came to the United States to find gold.
To put it bluntly, the relevant departments are just for a place where they can talk about things with confidence, so everything here is no different. It is just a relatively "clean" place.
"However, this is a place to talk about things. For example, if you are talking or anything, you don't have to deal with people here. Try to choose the company and contact your own people. Even if the company's people cannot be contacted, you can directly contact Qin Tairan and Chu Feng through the embassy. This is a place to eat." Wang Guosheng finally emphasized.
Fortunately, Duke really has no secrets to use such a high level of confidentiality, so it's all over after hearing this.
Back in Boston, Duke communicated with Shuya about the situation. Although Duke made the source code very obscure, Shuya still understood that Duke's return to China this time was responsible for taking heavy responsibilities and allowing his beloved man to contribute to the aerospace industry in the motherland. Although Shuya felt a little reluctant to leave Duke, she still supported Duke's action very much.
As for the fact that when you return to China to open a factory, you can get a lot of discounts, including when it may be easy to get factories and workers, the genius girl's eyes lit up. This career girl has been struggling to study how to expand production capacity at a low risk. According to the current idea, it is fine to expand the construction cost in the United States. It is almost the same everywhere. The labor expenses are really high. The current price of the product can be supported.
However, if the product starts to be subdivided in the future, some low-priced products must be launched, and the manual price will be unbearable. According to the current plan, once you enter the current online game market and customize brain wave mind control for the current game, the demand will inevitably change greatly.
The first thing to be affected is the price of brain wave helmets. Although US$299 is not a big number, it is still too high for a game. If you want to promote it in the existing game market for millions and tens of millions, the price must be greatly reduced.
According to a survey conducted by Susanna some time ago, the acceptance level of the existing equipment packages for games that cost more than $150 is very low. Most players accept less than $99, and about 30% of players between $99 and $150, and less than 10% of those above $150.
Of course, there are about 20% of players who need to see how many games this brainwave product can connect to to determine the price. The more games you access, the greater the possibility of accepting higher prices.
Therefore, being able to expand production capacity at low cost is the most important thing for Shuya.
Of course, labor wages in China are much cheaper than those in the United States. Shuya himself can understand this. However, Shuya is just as unsure of production management and quality control. But just take one step at a time. Although there are perfect things in the world, they are very rare. It can get factories and recruit workers at a low cost, which has solved half of the problem.
So at Shu Ya's suggestion, several shareholders of the company held a meeting to discuss, and everyone agreed to the decision to open a factory in China. Especially Susanna, she had long hoped to travel to China, and this time she strongly asked to accompany Duke to return home. She is now writing the paper, and the topic and materials of the paper have been almost ready, just to use the beautiful BSP of Mi Company; However, this time she was inspecting the opening of a factory, not doing any marketing promotion, so Susanna's proposal was ruthlessly rejected by everyone. Shu Ya, who has always had a strong guard against Susanna, even arranged new work for Susanna, that is, to negotiate with major game operators and developers in the United States to promote brain wave mind power control game customization.
This customization not only involves discussing technical cooperation with the game and promoting the sales of brain wave helmets, but also discussing the issue of sharing the access part of brain wave helmets. If this sharing concept can be recognized by game dealers, this is a big money tree that Mi Company can expect in the future.
Compared with the one-time revenue of Brainbo Ideal Helmet sales, this share of Mi Company is almost a one-time and long-term revenue. However, it can be imagined that it is quite difficult to achieve this goal. So Susanna's trip to China has to be ruined for the time being.
Clement, the vice president of production, is Duke's unrivaled choice for this trip. The American factory has now entered a stable production stage and is guaranteed by strict systems. Clement will not have much impact on production even if he leaves for a period of time.
Things were settled. Two days later, Duke and Clement flew to Chengdu.
As soon as I got off the plane and arrived at the airport exit, Duke, who was tired, suddenly found a huge banner, "Warm welcome to Chengdu to inspect investment."
