With the assembly, testing, etc. of DreamPad fans completed in the Fairy Laboratory, Dai Xian from the Fairy Factory has also begun preparations for matters after the Chinese New Year.
The first one is naturally to set up Fairy Factory No. 4, with workers. It should be roughly set at around 10,000 people.
The second is to prepare to move the fairy factory.
Although the area at the headquarters is large enough, if Fairy Factory has four factories and more than 40,000 workers working here, not to mention the noise and exhaust emissions, even with so many people, it would feel a bit crowded.
The factory side means that it will be moved to the south of the Fairy Company OEM factory and around the parts factory. The atmosphere will be very good, and there will also be a good working environment such as water, electricity, etc.
Xiao Qi thought about it for a while and agreed.
After the factory is moved out, the green rest area can be increased at the headquarters, so that headquarters employees and students of Sichuan Normal University can have a better environment.
As for the dormitories left behind by the factory, they are relatively simple. On the one hand, they can accommodate new employees. On the other hand, the size of the Fairy Canteen snack shop is also expanding, which can be just right for a group of chefs and apprentices who join.
All can have a more comfortable living environment.
The third one prepared by the factory is the most important parts order.
This time, as a dreampad fan, there are more than 900 companies that provide component samples to Fairy Company, with an average of more than 8 samples of each component.
In the end, there were at most five suppliers of the same type of components selected, such as batteries and metal casings; at few, there were even only two suppliers, such as gravity sensors, cameras, etc.
The selection criteria are naturally quality first, and then the appearance. You read that right, the appearance of the parts is also very important, the weight, thickness, size, etc., can all affect the quality and appearance of the dreampad fan, given the same size.
The parts data and samples you get back will be different, so you must make the best choice.
The third most important thing is that suppliers with long-term cooperation will be given priority. Fairy Company's strategy is that existing parts suppliers will not give up easily unless it is absolutely necessary...well, except for Japanese suppliers.
The last one is the issue of price. Low price does not necessarily mean you will be successful. On the contrary, if the price is set too low, Fairy Company will also worry about the company's ability to continue operating and its long-term vision.
After all, a company that really wants to make a good product will make careful decisions in many aspects. It is impossible to offer a price that it cannot accept. Later, because the profit is too low, it will get worse and worse, and in the end it can only be sad.
The ending of the ending.
Fairy Company has so many products, and it already has a very mature method for selecting parts suppliers, so there is no need to worry about this.
After Dai Xian reviewed the list, he handed it to Xiao Qi and Zhou Bo for another look, and they basically made a decision.
The next thing to determine is the list of OEMs for dreampad fans.
This point has basically been decided long ago.
Guo Taiming finally got the dreampad fanni OEM order he wanted. As compensation, he would hand over the corresponding quantity of the dreampad order and give it to a new foundry.
Xiao Qi considered that Guo Taiming was indeed the most reliable person among all the foundries, and he was also the person who cared most about Fairy Company. He was also the one who corresponded with him at a distance on the treasure island and served as Ling Shuangshuang's bodyguard, so he agreed.
Let the Red Sea Factory become the only foundry that spans Fairy Company's four major products.
Based on this alone, Guo Taiming can declare without any guilt that he is the world's first-generation factory.
After determining these prerequisites, parts production according to orders will begin in February, assembly and trial production will begin in March, advertising will begin in May, and it will be officially launched in June. This is the path to market for Dreampad fans.
Therefore, during this half year, Dai Xian will still be very busy and will not have a good rest during the Spring Festival.
But he didn't know that Xiao Qi and Yu Shanshan had already discussed that he would become the new vice president of Fairy Company and realize his ultimate career dream when DreamPad MINI was launched at the latest.
…
During the Spring Festival, it’s not just Fairy Company that is busy.
In fact, many companies are already eyeing a change in Fairy Company.
But when it comes to action, Baodao's companies are very powerful. They don't have so many rules. Once they make a decision, they will go all out to fight for it.
What caught everyone's attention this time was the change in Fairy Company's dreampad order.
In order to obtain orders from Dreampad fans, Guo Taiming voluntarily gave up part of the order for Dreampad, which was about 60 million units equal to that of Dreampad fans.
This part is equivalent to one-third of Dreampad production orders. It would be a pity for the Red Sea factory to give up. After all, it represents a net profit of more than 300 million US dollars a year.
In the past, the Red Sea Factory made iPods and iPhones for Apple, and the total profit in a year was only about 300 million US dollars. How could it be as satisfying as working under Xiao Qi to make money?
And a foundry can make a net profit of US$300 million a year, which is more than enough to rank among the top ten in the world.
So even though it is only one-third of the foundry output, there are still many internal and external foundries to compete for.
This time, two of the three major OEMs for Dreampad fans are from the mainland, and the remaining one is the Red Sea factory.
Anyone who is well-informed knows that Xiao Qi's three foundries originally wanted to use factories in the mainland, but I don't know what method Guo Taiming used to grab a spot. This has to be lamented. Guo Taiming and Xiao Qi
Qi's relationship is really good.
However, for the Dreampad production that the Red Sea factory will hand over after the year, several large OEMs have already talked to Fairy Company, but Xiao Qi did not express his position, so several large OEMs in Baodao saw hope.
For example, Quanta Electronics, the world's largest computer foundry, was holding a secret meeting in a villa area in its headquarters in Taoyuan just before the New Year.
Quanta's boss Li Baili, general manager Liang Zhen, and public relations manager Zhu Kangdai were sitting in a warm tatami room, drinking wine and eating side dishes. It felt like a gathering of friends rather than deciding on a company.
The future of life and death.
"Guo Taiming has already given me an answer." Li Baili ate a peanut and said calmly, "He said that the only one who can decide on the foundry is Xiao Qi. He has no way to help us negotiate the matter."
"Hmph, this treasure island is a shame! He has always been timid and excluding dissidents!" Liang Zhen said disdainfully, "It is because he was lucky. After Gang Leader Qiao, he actually met Xiao Qi again, and that's why he did this
He must have a new career, otherwise where will it be his turn to rule the roost?"
"You can't say that. I remember that AUO was also cooperating with Xiao Qi at the time, but later they gave up the order because they looked down on Xiao Qi. In the end, they were overtaken by those companies. Now I feel regretful." Zhu Kangdai
Said, "On the contrary, Guo Taiming, once he made a decision, he would support Xiao Qi at all costs, so he achieved what he has achieved today... If it were us, we didn't think about doing everything we could to get the dreampad order."
Bar?"
Zhu Kangdai is Liang Zhen's classmate. The two have been friends for thirty years. He is not afraid of Liang Zhen being angry.
Li Baili was their senior. Zhu Kangdai and Liang Zhen joined Li Baili's company as soon as they graduated, so naturally they have a very strong relationship.
Liang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, then sighed and stopped talking.
"Since we can't rely on Guo Taiming, it seems we can only take the wife route." Zhu Kangdai continued, "Guo Taiming's wife has been visiting a villa in the suburbs of Taibei frequently recently. Do you know?"
"Haha, what don't you know? But Ling Shuangshuang is going to give birth to Xiao Qi's baby, right?" Li Baili said with a smile, "I heard that the baby is due next month."
"Yes." Zhu Kangdai said, "Guo Taiming actually has many different interests in his cooperation with Xiao Qi. But he firmly grasped Ling Shuangshuang, which gave him an additional strategic location that could be mitigated. Xiao Qi
We love Ling Shuangshuang so much, as long as we can persuade Ling Shuangshuang and let her speak for us, then why worry about the 60 million dreampad order?"
"I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Liang Zhen said, "We have visited Ling Shuangshuang before, but this woman is so smart that she doesn't even meet us. It's her assistant Wang Shuang who comes to receive us... Huh, an actor is really dignified.
Big one, if her man hadn't been Xiao Qi, I would have gotten angry with her long ago!"
"If she doesn't treat us like this, then hundreds of companies in Baodao will annoy her to death." Zhu Kangdai said with a smile, "But it is precisely because it is very difficult that she proves her influence on Xiao Qi, otherwise she would
Just accept the gift and follow along to spread the word, how can you be so cautious?"
"It's true that Xiao Qi gave her almost 10 billion US dollars in assets in one breath. Such a concubine is really favored!" Li Baili sighed.
"My plan is that since Ling Shuangshuang is about to give birth to a child, then we will do what she wants and ask the master in charge of Dharma Drum Mountain to pray for her child. She should be able to accept this favor, right?" Zhu Kangdai said.
suggested.
Li Baili was stunned, "You really dare to think about it!"
Dharma Drum Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist holy places in Baodao. The previous host was Xiao Ma's master, which shows how powerful they are.
Now Zhu Kangdai said that he asked the presiding master of Dharma Drum Mountain to pray for an ordinary pregnant woman, which is really loud.
"Don't think I don't know. Isn't the wife of the new host master, his brother, the best friend of his sister-in-law's sister?" Zhu Kangdai said: "In addition to looking for personal relationships, let's not be afraid of spending money and donate more to
Dharma Drum Mountain allows them to do more good deeds, so that counts as sincerity, right?"
Li Baili shook his head repeatedly, deliberately wanting to refuse this difficult task. The master in charge of Dharma Drum Mountain is not so easy to recruit. In addition to these few things, more efforts are needed.
But when he thought of the 60 million dreampad OEMs and the net profit of nearly 300 million US dollars, he couldn't refuse.
"Boss, dreampad is just the beginning. As long as Quanta can get on the line with Xiao Qi, we may not be able to become the second Red Sea factory!" Zhu Kangdai said with a smile.
His words suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Li Baili slammed the table: "F*ck, I'm going to risk it all! This thing must succeed!!"
