1373 The step towards the world is unstoppable
Even when he returned to the hotel, Othello had not yet recovered from the shock in the September 1st Research Institute. £∝
Yun Fei finally asked him what this meant, and it kept echoing in his ears.
What does this production model mean? He knows best. Production efficiency is the most critical thing for those mass-produced products. As long as the efficiency improves, the quality can be guaranteed. Uninterrupted production can be reduced to a negligible level.
The price of a robot will not exceed 100,000 US dollars, and an ordinary operator will have an annual salary of more than 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars, and insurance will be added. If you want to ensure uninterrupted processing of 7 by 24 hours, you must work in three shifts, that is, one or several equipment requires three ordinary workers to work continuously. In this way, their annual labor costs will be around 100,000 US dollars.
The robots at the Jiuyi Research Institute do not even need the cost of operating workers in their same position for a year, and can still be used for many years! Even if they only need one year, it is OK.
For products such as automobile accessories that are mainly based on large-scale uninterrupted production, how can he not know how powerful this model will have in cost control? What Jiang Muge told him can completely reduce their production costs by more than 10%. Only then did he realize that this was definitely not bragging.
If it works well, it can completely reduce more costs.
With fewer people, management costs will be reduced accordingly...
"Sam, has the contents in the micro camera been sent to the company headquarters?" I couldn't fall asleep. Even the contents of the welcome dinner of the Rong City Government in the evening, some of them need to pay attention to, and the politician Othello, who has established good relationships in the future, doesn't remember it.
What he is thinking about is how to use these technologies from the Jiuyi Research Institute to carry out a new round of technological upgrades to their company, and it is best to get these technologies from Yunfei. Anyway, the Chinese people do not have a strong sense of technology confidentiality in this area.
"Sir, I have sent it back by email. But the company has not yet reported it..." Sam was very young, at least much younger than Othello.
He followed Othello from the moment he joined Rockwell. He could do these things very well without the boss Othello said. Yun's technology also shocked him. Even in countries like Japan and Germany with advanced technology, such large-scale intelligent production research is not as crazy as the Chinese.
Moreover, China's demographic dividend has just begun.
In China, the cost of an ordinary operator now is no more than one thousand dollars a year!
Yunfei's purpose of studying these robots in such a low labor cost environment is definitely to replace these cheap labor with better efficiency.
China can use it. If the United States uses such a model in production, how much cost will it save? How much efficiency will it improve?
"Sam, do you think if we introduce this production model and technology from China, how much improvement will our company's current situation be?" Othello rarely asked Sam's opinion before, after all, this young man was far from the situation he expected.
"Boss, we introduce it in time, which will not save much cost in this regard. Their control technology is not enough. The production of these parts and products requires final finishing..." Sam was not as shocked as Othello.
For those who do not know these technologies very well, many of the functions and effects of these technologies cannot be seen.
"What about their CNC equipment? I remember when I left, the other party gave you their technical information. Do you think if we use their CNC equipment and then introduce their production lines, is this cheaper than the cheap equipment in Japanese and Taiwanese factories?" Othello did not correct Sam's opinion and perception.
Yunshi Holdings' technology in this area is indeed not mature enough, but since they have reached this point, it is definitely impossible for them to give up like this.
Their company can actually complement the technologies between Yun's Holdings, which is a very big opportunity. However, it seems that it is not an easy thing to convince Chinese people who are very vigilant to them to cooperate.
"The technical performance of Chinese CNC equipment can fully meet our usage requirements. However, in terms of price, it is still about 5% more expensive than Taiwanese machine tools. We need to pay millions of dollars more. However, compared with the price of Japanese five-axis machining centers, Chinese people are more than 20% lower. If all the equipment they provide us are the equipment we see, I think it is entirely necessary for us to purchase four-axis machining centers and five-axis machining centers from the Chinese for rough and semi-finishing processing..." Sam did not have any objections to the Chinese, and the opinions put forward were all taken into account the interests of their company.
Othello agrees with this.
They can buy CNC machine tools from Chinese people.
As for Sam's proposal to purchase the most ordinary three-axis machining center from Taiwanese people, and then purchase four-axis and five-axis machining centers from Chinese people, and even their operating robots, Othello really thought about this, but Chinese people would definitely not be so stupid.
The quote Jiang Muge gave them was the overall package price.
If you only buy the four-axis and five-axis for Chinese people, it will definitely not be that cheap.
The shrewdness of the Chinese people is a fact that the whole world has to admit. However, what Chinese people like most is internal fighting. The fierce internal fighting and selfish personality have blocked their excellent qualities. Only a few people will realize this problem.
Just as Napoleon said back then, China is a sleeping lion. Once it wakes up, the whole world will tremble.
"Boss, this price is not high. Although our three-axis machining center is higher than that of Taiwanese people, it is within the range they bear. Taiwan currently does not have the production capacity of a five-axis machining center because of our obstacles. Japan's five-axis machining center is at least 20% more expensive than ours. So, after packaging the whole thing, they will recognize our price..." Jiang Muge did not expect that Yun Fei would feel a little high about the quotation he gave.
Yunfei products have never been sold without price reduction. In the Chinese market, in addition to imported CNC machine tools, theirs is the most expensive, even much more expensive than many imported CNC machine tools.
Now Yun Fei is already cheaper than the market price, and the price is 15% cheaper to Americans!
Of course, this is a 15% cheaper price, and it is a FOB price that does not include tax.
"We do have certain advantages over Taiwan manufacturers, but the current situation in Japan is still unclear. The United States has not yet come up with a charter to punish Japan. It is obviously doing some shameful things with Japan. We must consider the situation here. If we make such a great sacrifice, if we cannot take over this business..." Yun Fei said with a frown.
For him, opening their robotics labs to the Americans as well as unmanned chemical plant projects was a huge loss.
Rockwell International also has very advanced technology in this regard.
"There is no need to worry about this. As far as I know, in the whole world, it is only our family. Robots replace humans. What's more, not many companies will invest in R&D like our company regardless of costs or efficiency..." Jiang Muge flattered Yun Fei a little.
Foreign companies have indeed invested very high in research and development, but they rarely invest in projects that have little to do with their products and development. Those who study these projects are often scientific research institutions.
Even those scientific research institutions, not many people will go crazy in the direction of replacing humans with intelligent robots!
This is completely a bottomless pit in this world.
"Anyway, you can do it. You are responsible for this matter. In addition, we can now talk about establishing a North American company. I don't know what your relationship with my uncle is, but I think your current ability can fully meet your wish..." Yun Fei has no clear idea whether to build a new company there or what.
As long as Rockwell's business is acquired, it will have to be established. And it will also have to enter markets that they did not plan at the beginning.
Even if you just send one or two employees to the station, you must do it.
The current market is not a one-time transaction.
After-sales service is completely related to the subsequent development of the entire company and its market expansion.
The surprise came too suddenly. For Yun Fei now.
At the same time, this also corresponds to the old saying - the east side is not bright, the west side is bright. The huge order of hundreds of millions of dollars has just been snatched by competitors who have quietly risen in China. He thought that their steps to enter the international market would have to be taken back and take it again, but he did not expect that Rockwell Company gave them a greater opportunity, and they could follow Rockwell Company to move towards the whole world.
"Boss, I think so. Regarding North American branches, we can just establish sales companies and market services. There is no need to learn from factories in Taiwan and Japan, and build assembly factories in the United States..." Jiang Muge did not think it would be more appropriate to establish production factories abroad. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
