Chapter 772: Technology is not free
Fang Chen carefully observed the detailed situation of the three devices for a while.
After a few breaths, pointing to the equipment that was still as bright as new at the end, Fang Chen asked, "How much does this shell cost?"
Hearing this, Zheng Baoyong did not think, but said directly: "Counting the cost of materials and coating of the steel itself, it is twice the cost of using 40CR steel, and it is about 20% more than the cost of special steel used by Fujitsu." ”
Since he knew that Fang Chen was going to come over to inspect today, he naturally had prepared to show the best side of the company and himself.
Fang Chen nodded lightly, and he was quite satisfied, although it sounded that the cost of the shell was twice as high as the original, and even 20% higher than the cost of the shell of the Fujitsu F-150 switch, but with Huaxia's current material technology, it was possible to achieve such an effect, and Fang Chen really felt good.
There is no way, let alone now, even in 2018, some key material technologies in Huaxia still have a 20-year gap with the United States, Dongwei and other Western countries.
And don't think that everything in China is cheap, in the current situation in China, the cost of goods, the more labor will be cheaper, such as traditional textile, shoemaking, toys and other manufacturing, and cutting-edge technology is the opposite.
For example, chips, Huaxia wants to make a mainstream chip, not to mention whether it can be made, even if it can be made, but because of the gap in equipment, experience, technology, including talent reserves, etc., its cost is definitely much higher than Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments and other companies.
This is also the reason why in 2018, Unigroup has produced DDR3 memory particles, but the price sold is about the same as the market price, far from what people think, as long as Unisplendour can produce memory particles, DDR3 memory will immediately become the price of cabbage.
The reason for this is not that Ziguang has a black heart, but that the cost of Ziguang memory particles is really similar to that of Samsung and Hynix, and even because of the large-scale investment in the construction of a factory, its cost should still be above Samsung and Hynix.
However, Fang Chen also believes that with the rise of Chinese enterprises, electronic products such as memory and CPU, and even some high-tech industries such as medical care and aerospace that have not yet made major breakthroughs, will slowly narrow the gap with developed countries, or even surpass them, just like the communication equipment and LCD panels in the previous life.
Huawei, ZTE and other examples of Chinese manufacturers leading the development of 5G will emerge more and more in all walks of life in China, and the share will be larger and larger.
Huawei ranks first with 17% of the reputation of 5G standard essential patents, followed by Nokia with 13%, LG 12%, Ericsson with 12%, Samsung with 11%, Qualcomm with 10%, ZTE at 9%, Intel at 5%, Datang at 5%, and Sharp at 4%.
The sum of the three major Chinese manufacturers accounts for more than 31%, which can be said to be the country with the most 5G patents in the world, and in the 6G era, it is very likely that the patents of Huaxia manufacturers account for more than 50%, and it is the only one.
In addition, although the switch in addition to the most important substrate, the remaining cost is relatively high is the shell and installation cost, but the shell in the total cost of the equipment does not exceed 3%, even if it is tripled, it will not exceed 6%, in the high-tech industry, steel, copper these basic materials will not affect the cost of the product too much.
It also shows how shameless it was for Jun Aso to dare to ask for $200 for a one-meter-square heat dissipation plate at this time last year.
It showed Fang Chen, Zhang Yu and others how developed countries use their technological superiority to make huge profits.
However, the most important thing is that the 04 machine must have something significantly more than the Fujitsu F-150 switch, which is worth commendating, if a product has no advantages other than being cheap, Fang Chen does not think it is a good product.
And Fang Chen also feels that although Huaxia is still in the stage of Huaxia manufacturing and even imitation, sooner or later it will be transformed into Huaxia quality manufacturing, and the final Huaxia intelligent manufacturing, leading the development of global science and technology and the times.
But if you want to upgrade to quality manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, enterprises and scientific research units do not develop some new technologies and technologies, do you expect the two red mouths to touch and be able to rise?
Science and technology are always the primary productive forces!
However, in addition to such ambitions, there is one of the most important reasons, that is, Fang Chen is rich!
It can be said that with his current wealth, even if he doesn't do anything from today onwards, his daily task is to spend money, and the money in his pocket will not be spent in eight lifetimes.
Therefore, without affecting the development and layout of the enterprise, Fangchen is willing to make a little less money, make the product quality better, do better, and be willing to invest money in some scientific research that cannot be seen for the time being, such as the three core research laboratories in front of him, as well as JAVA, the acquisition of foreign technology and the establishment of research centers, and even the Institute of Mathematics, a place where ten or eight years may not be able to produce any results.
Seeing that Fang Chen didn't speak for a long time, Shen Wei, Zheng Baoyong and the others couldn't help but hang their hearts, although the corrosion-resistant steel has been studied, and the indicators are qualified, but whether to use it or not, it is still Fang Chen's words.
Even if Fang Chen didn't agree to use it, they could understand it, after all, the cost of using this corrosion-resistant steel did increase a lot.
"Mr. Fang, I think the 04 machine still uses this corrosion-resistant steel, although the current cost is relatively expensive, but there is a need to share the cost of research and development and because of the unskilled process resulting in a high scrap rate, there is no supply chain and so on. ”
"After using it for a while, I think the cost will definitely come down, even if it can't reduce the cost of using CR40 steel, but the cost is lower than Fuji GM's special steel. In addition, in the future, our other equipment, including the products produced by Xiaobawang, can also use this corrosion-resistant steel if there is a demand for corrosion resistance, and there is no need to develop it separately. ”
Zheng Bao breathed a strong sigh of relief and made a final effort or struggle for corrosion-resistant steel.
Fang Chen turned his head and looked at Zheng Baoyong with a smile, Zheng Baoyong who saw it had a straight hair in his heart, and he couldn't help but hang his head, in the sky, Fang Chen's majesty was unshakable.
"Okay, I didn't say I disagreed, what are you excited about, the shell is more expensive, it doesn't matter, it's lower than the cost of Fujitsu. Fang Chen said casually.
Originally, the cost of the 04 machine is much lower than that of Fujitsu, about 60% or so, so it is really nothing to say that the cost increases, and Fang Chen does not want others to mention the 04 machine, which is a cheap and simple version of Fujitsu F150, what he wants is to win by quality!
This is also an important reason why he didn't push the price so low all at once.
Moreover, he doesn't want Huaxia's products to become synonymous with low prices and inferior quality.
The short-sighted behavior of some enterprises in later generations not only made foreign countries look down on Chinese goods, but also felt that Chinese goods were useless except for low prices, and even Huaxia's own people did not believe in the products produced by their own enterprises.
"In addition, you said that Xiaobawang's products can also use this kind of corrosion-resistant steel, I think it is very ......"
As he spoke, Fang Chen extended a thumbs up to Zheng Baoyong and the other researchers.
This is probably the advantage of many industries, a technology developed by the subsidiary under its name, other subsidiaries can be easily obtained, no need to repeat research and development, to avoid waste.
In later generations, everyone knows that Huawei mobile phones have three treasures, Kirin chips, Leica lenses, and good signals.
Putting aside the first two, the reason why Huawei's mobile phone signal is so good is naturally inseparable from the accumulation of Huawei's communication business in communication technology, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Huawei's mobile phone is the smart phone with the best signal.
And even if it is as strong as Apple, it has to use the baseband of Qualcomm and Intel, and even has many problems because of the bad signal.
Zheng Baoyong and the other researchers couldn't help but turn red and looked excited, Fang Chen's praise seemed too unexpected.
"However, if Xiaobawang uses it, remember to ask them to pay the royalties. Fang Chen said casually.
"What are you talking about?patent fee?" Zheng Bao suddenly changed the expression on his face, and looked at Fang Chen with a confused expression.
Others also looked at Fang Chen blankly, according to the domestic tradition, intangible things like technology are given for free.
In state-owned factories and scientific research institutes, scientific research personnel come up with things, and people from fraternal units come with letters of introduction, and they can easily learn to leave.
It has fully developed the true feelings and righteousness of the proletariat.
After the reform and opening up, this kind of casual technology transfer is no longer advocated, but they and Xiaobawang are both companies under Fang Chen's name, and everyone is a serious family, so it seems a little bad to talk about patent fees.
"You remember, the technology is not free, the corrosion-resistant steel is researched by you, and Xiaobawang wants to use it to naturally charge royalties, but you can trade it without money, but other things, or simply keep accounts, write off at the end of the year, and refund more and make up for less. Fang Chen said seriously.
What he just said is the internal settlement management system, which is too common in modern enterprise management.
In the modern enterprise management system, not only each subsidiary, branch, but even each department needs to independently calculate costs and profits.
This can not only ensure the safe, effective and stable operation of business operation and management activities, effectively prevent and resolve business risks, but most importantly, clearly reflect the true cost and profitability of each company and department.
For example, Qingtian Telecom spent 20 million on the research and development of corrosion-resistant steel, and then it was taken by Xiaobawang for free.
This will lead to a situation where under the same conditions of various indicators, Qingtian Communications will have an additional cost of 20 million yuan than Xiaobawang, and Xiaobawang will have an additional profit of 20 million yuan.
This situation is obviously unfair, and it does not reflect the real situation of the two companies, and it is more likely to lead to the difference in the salary of employees of the two companies.
Most importantly, this will create a cultural atmosphere in which honest people suffer, those who study new technologies in a down-to-earth manner are stupid, and those who are cheating and playing tricks are smart people.
In the long run, who will work hard and engage in research and development?
After explaining a few words to everyone, Fang Chen looked at everyone and said solemnly: "In Qingtian, there will never be honest people, brave to take responsibility, and brave innovators to be wronged, on the contrary, we must encourage the warriors who explore the no-man's land, and reward them heavily, this time the company will give 100,000 yuan as a reward for all members of our advanced materials laboratory to commend their intelligence and hard work." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then a burst of thunderous applause suddenly sounded, deafening, clapping their palms red one by one, and their eyes flashed with a scorching light, and they were really excited.
Although they knew that if Mr. Fang came to inspect the work, if he did a good job, it would definitely be beneficial, but they really didn't expect that it would be such a grand prize as 100,000 yuan, you must know that there are only more than 30 people in their advanced materials laboratory, which means that each of them can share 3,000 yuan, even if the salary of these scientific researchers is high, but 3,000 yuan is also worth three months' salary.
However, what moved them even more was Fang Chen's words, which could be said to have entered their hearts every word, and the feeling of dying for a confidant in an instant suddenly came to their hearts.
Seeing this, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.
To be honest, there is not much he can do for these scientific researchers, and the biggest effect is probably to give more money, so that their lives and families can have no worries, go all out to focus on scientific research, and research more and better scientific research results.
In addition, Fang Chen has always felt that the most effective way to make Chinese people advocate science, yearn for scientific research, and completely sweep the dross of the uselessness of reading into the garbage heap of history is to make scientists rich, rich, and rich!
Let more scientific research workers become billionaires, and truly realize that there are thousands of bells in the book, a golden house in the book, a beautiful jade in the book, and a lot of cars and horses in the book.
Then people will naturally study hard, work hard to study science and technology, and the pace of human progress will be faster and faster, and life will be better.
Therefore, Fang Chen must reward these scientific researchers, and this reward is not enough, and it is even possible that he hopes that the salary and bonus of scientific researchers are higher than those of company executives such as Duan Yongping and Shen Wei.
After leaving the advanced materials laboratory, Fang Chen walked around the advanced structure laboratory again, looked at the lightning protection test and the electrical short circuit test, and then threw another sum of money.
Leading Fang Chen to the door of the final 2G mobile communication laboratory, Shen Wei suddenly became a little hesitant and hesitant.
After a few breaths, Shen Wei smiled bitterly at Fang Chen: "Mr. Fang, otherwise we won't go to this laboratory, I'll tell you the truth, I really haven't researched anything, and I haven't recruited a few people, except for the two PhDs who graduated from Stanford University, there are five or six master's students and undergraduates of Beijing Post and South Post, and even ten people can't get together." ”
