Chapter 029: There are joys and worries

Lu's Sifang Co., Ltd., which is a joint venture between Sifang Semiconductor Factory and Lu's Semiconductor, occupies two factories in the southwest corner of Sifang Electron Tube Factory.

The tall factory building has been completely renovated at this time. The old production line that used to produce color motor cores has disappeared, replaced by two rows of clean and tidy production lines of more than 100 meters.

On the production line, two rows of workers in clean clothes are operating the tools in their hands with their hands, or inserting electronic devices such as capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors or chips into the PCB board (circuit board), or soldering electronic devices...... The result is a complete circuit board full of components, and finally it is ready to be installed or shipped after it has been tested well.

Eventually, these remote control boards are sent to the TV factory, where they are installed into the TV along with the movement board to make it a remote-capable TV.

"Director Luo, leaders, what you see now is the remote control circuit board production line that we have officially put into operation. Such a production line can employ about 80 people, and the monthly production capacity of a production line can reach more than 100,000 sets. We plan to build a total of 10 such production lines. Li Donghong, deputy general manager of Lu's Semiconductor Company, visited and explained when he led everyone to visit the production line.

As the deputy general manager of Lu's Semiconductor, Li Donghong also serves as the general manager of Lu's Sifang Company, and is now responsible for the construction of the production line of the joint venture plant.

Previously, under the joint research and development of Sifang and Lu's Semiconductor, the remote control circuit board completed the research and development of the laboratory. At the same time, the relevant patents are also going through the application process in Xiangjiang, and it is believed that it will not be long before the patent can be applied.

For now, the remote control circuit board is officially transferred to the production stage.

"At present, one production line is already running normally, and the technical workers of the other production line are being trained, and it is hoped that it will be put into operation in mid-September. ”

"Good, good!" Luo Shouwu was really relieved to see such a clean and tidy production line, and then to see the bright smiles and full enthusiasm on the faces of the workers.

The factory director, who was bent on how to make the Sifang Electron Tube Factory survive, saw hope, the hope of letting the workers live and work in peace and contentment, the hope of self-reliance and not putting more burden on the country, and even the hope of paying profits and taxes to the state!

"Mr. Li, are the workers in our production line trained by ourselves?"

"Yes, Director Luo. Except for a few key positions with our own Lu people temporarily, the workers in other positions are all from our Quartet, and they are employed after technical training and assessment. ”

The remote control circuit board is the core component of the entire remote control system, and it is also the most difficult and technical part of the whole system. Therefore, the technical requirements of the skilled workers required for the remote control circuit board production line are higher, and the workers who are now put into the production line are selected from hundreds of workers. In particular, the welding process of electronic components is not skilled workers who cannot meet the process requirements, either the welding temperature or the welding amount is not enough, resulting in poor contact caused by virtual welding and so on.

For example, chip soldering with relatively high cost and quality inspection of finished circuit boards, these positions still need Lu's people to do for the time being.

Of course, Sifang's technicians are also being trained. This includes two production lines that are now in operation and those that will be put into operation.

Luo Shouwu stood in the product testing area, looked at the board in his hand, and carefully looked at it for a long time before asking: "Mr. Li, is there any guarantee for the sales of our products?"

"Mr. Luo, for the time being, our products are produced in the form of SDK and DK, and the final products will be returned to our TV production line in Heung Kong to produce remote control TVs. Toshiba two-piece movements are currently supported, and our joint venture will study the development of a common protocol and develop a universal circuit board to support more movements. At that time, our remote control circuit boards will be put into production at our two production sites. The products of this production base of Yanjing Sifang will be inland, and the Pengcheng base will be oriented to Hong Kong^O^Macao^O^ Taiwan and overseas regions. ”

Hearing that the product is marketable and guaranteed, Luo Shouwu was also relieved.

After the visit, Luo Shouwu called Wang Qisheng and Yu Zixian, the heads of the joint venture Sifang Semiconductor, to his office.

The general manager of Lu's Sifang Company was appointed by Lu's Semiconductor, and the deputy general manager in charge of finance was appointed by Sifang Semiconductor and transferred by Wang Qi, but the original position was also concurrent.

Yu Zixian was also seconded to Lu's Sifang Company as the deputy chief of the technical department, and the section chief was still appointed by Lu's Semiconductor.

"Qisheng, there is a question that I am very concerned about, how about the profit of our products?"

I was embarrassed to ask on that occasion just now, but this is the question that Director Luo is most concerned about.

There's no way, now the Sifang Tube Factory is too short of money. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, let alone a large factory with a total of nearly 10,000 active and retired employees.

This "money" is simply a talisman! The old factory director's hair has fallen out a lot.

"Factory director, this year will be a year of large investment in our Yanjing production base, and the investment in the production line will continue until the end of the year. Even if there are production lines starting now, due to the limitation of skilled workers, our output is expected to explode until the middle of next year...... Therefore, the profits generated by the products that are now commissioned are far from enough to balance the continuous investment of funds. It is expected that at least 3 million yuan will be invested in the future. Wang Qisheng said helplessly.

"Ahh

Obviously, the three million made Director Luo feel pain, and the movements in his hands were out of proportion.

Three million, it hurts! This is much more painful than the one on the skull just now.

The estimated registered capital of the joint venture in the early stage was originally intended to be 1 million, but with the investment in the production line, coupled with Lu's Semiconductor's optimistic estimate of the remote control system market, it insisted on increasing the registered capital, and finally became 3.6 million, one on both sides, and after deducting the rent of the site, etc., the Quartet needs to invest nearly 1.5 million in cash.

In the case of a loan of 5 million to be repaid after three months, even if you want to squeeze the ditch, you can't squeeze it out. There was really no way, Luo Shouwu put down his face, cried all the way to poverty, and insisted on running the money in the city and running the money, and finally brought in 1 million in cash, and finally 500,000 yuan was really helpless, and once again took out the wages of the cadres and workers of the Sifang Semiconductor Factory in the next six months, and finally made up 1.5 million.

I originally wanted to make some money from this joint venture, but I didn't expect this to be a gold-swallowing beast. It's a sad story about money.

I didn't expect that it would cost 3 million in the future! This is simply going to kill you.

"Factory director, in fact, let's stick to it, and it will be good to start by the end of next year, and we have roughly estimated that the monthly profit should be 500,000. Wang Qisheng comforted on the side.

By the middle of next year, there will be nearly a year left, and this is far from quenching your thirst?

This is not only the continuous investment of 3 million, the key three months later, there will be 5 million loans, and even worse is that there are wages for workers in the next few months.

Shameful things, one time is enough, there is no need to follow one after another. What's more, if you make a big fuss, it's not just a shame, it's a loss of life, and this will cause a big incident!

Director Luo held down his fiercely beating heart and asked Yu Zixian about the technical training in the factory.

"Director, I would also like to share some of my thoughts. Yu Zixian looked at the factory director with a loveless look and decided to say something nice.

"Well, you name it. Although Director Luo said this, his heart was full of money!

"Right now, it's mainly remote control circuit boards on the production line. I think we can consider doing some supporting production lines or workshops, such as the production of accessories remote control housings, and for example, PCB boards for circuit boards...... At present, these products are transported from Xiangjiang by Lu's Semiconductor. If we can produce it ourselves and meet the quality standards, I think the joint venture company should be happy to purchase our products. After all, our products have limited transportation costs, cheap labor, and huge product price advantages......"

In fact, during the period of working in the joint venture factory, he experienced the whole process of equipment installation and commissioning, trial production, and formal production, so that Yu Zixian often worried about the rich labor force and some idle workshop sites in the factory, to see if the workshops and products in the factory could be cut into the supply of materials for remote control circuit boards, auxiliary materials for devices, and accessories.

Relatively speaking, the production of supporting products is much simpler in terms of technology and process. The shell of the remote control is actually open to the mold and then injection molding, and it can be mass-produced.

Then there is the PCB board...... Under the current technical capabilities and financial conditions of Sifang Electron Tube Factory, this is the best project that Yu Neng can think of.

The importance of the PCB board is undeniable. Without circuit boards and electronic circuits, the control of flight, transportation, atomic energy, computers, aerospace, communications, home appliances and other products will not be realized.

It's easy to understand. Chips, ICs, and integrated circuits are the food of the electronic information industry, and the electrical interconnection and assembly of semiconductors (integrated circuits, ICs) must rely on circuit boards.

With the advent of the electronic age, the amount of circuit boards can only get bigger and bigger, at least the market is not worried.

"Well, this is a good idea, after you go back, straighten it out, you write a report directly to me, see the construction of these supporting product production lines, the expected investment, the expected rate of return, and so on. ”

"Okay, Director. ”

Because of the money, Director Luo has put the rate of return and capital investment in the first place.

"Factory director, don't we still have thousands of color TVs in stock? That's also a lot of money. If we can think of a way......" Wang Qisheng suddenly remembered the color TVs in stock in the original third branch.

Thinking of these stock color TVs, Luo Shouwu was angry, this is another sad story about money.

At the beginning, Sifang Electron Tube Factory cooperated with a TV factory to produce TV sets, but the other party went bankrupt for various reasons, and the other party owed millions of movements from Sifang Tube Factory...... In the end, I had no choice but to pull back the stock color TV in the other party's factory.
