"This is the information we have collected from our legal department, and there are three small local factories in Hong Kong that are copying two of our arcade games. Two of them, after receiving our lawyer's letter, have reined in and stopped piracy.

We will seek the help of the police in the near future to take down this piracy factory!"

At the regular meeting of the company's management, Chang Feng, manager of the legal department, reported on the recent achievements of his department's crackdown on piracy.

Li Xuan picked up a stack of photos that Chang Feng put on the table, these are all direct evidence that the company invited a special detective agency to secretly photograph the other party's illegal infringement of the interests of Dongfang Electronics Company. Among them, there is a relatively clear photo, which is the moment when the factory owner signs for a batch of gaming motherboards.

After the analysis of the technicians of Dongfang Electronics Company, this batch of game console motherboards should not be new boards that leave the factory, but second-hand arcade boards after repair. Li Xuan himself started as a pirate, and he was extremely strict about the external flow control of the game console motherboard.

After the arcade machine is sold, the gaming motherboard has a six-month warranty period, and if the gaming motherboard is damaged during the warranty period, it can be replaced with a new motherboard for free, but only if the damaged old motherboard must be recycled.

As an ambitious enterprise, Dongfang Electronics Company naturally does not take the damaged game boards that are recycled, repair them and reload them on the game consoles to sell, but directly destroy them.

However, Dongfang Electronics Company has just been established, and the management system is not perfect, which gives some people the opportunity to collude inside and outside and secretly do tricks. They did not destroy the motherboards in accordance with the company's regulations, but secretly replaced the damaged parts and sold them to copycat factories outside at a high price.

"The two moles inside the company have been pulled out and reported to the Shatin Police Station. After collecting evidence, the police have applied to the court for approval to arrest the two people, and the trial will be held at a later date. The relevant colleagues in our department will follow the progress of this case throughout the whole process, and at the same time will file corresponding civil claims!" Chang Feng said.

As soon as Chang Feng finished speaking, Du Wenqiang, who was in charge of R&D business, immediately took over the words with great indignation: "I just checked the relevant records, and in the past month, the number of applications for motherboard warranty by Hutchison Company under various names has increased significantly. At first, I really thought that there was a mistake in the design of our motherboards, and I specially asked people to carefully analyze the cause of the damage of these motherboards.

After testing, our people found that there were various problems, some of them were damaged by a certain chip due to poor heat dissipation, and some were broken circuits of some working circuits due to soldering leakage, but they were only some minor problems. In the past, when we developed the first generation of arcade boards, in order to rush the work, some circuit designs were really not perfect.

The hardware development department has already started to improve and upgrade, and the enhanced second-generation gaming motherboard will be officially finalized and produced at the end of the month, so I didn't pay much attention to these problems with the old motherboard. Now it seems. In fact, it's not that the damage rate of our motherboard is really that high, but that some people use the company's after-sales warranty policy to deliberately deceive!"

Li Xuan frowned, the culprit of the matter couldn't be clearer, these motherboards sent back for new ones all came from Hutchison Company, he really wanted to scold a dog for not being able to eat!

"I think the deeper reason for the problem is that we don't have enough production capacity! In the past March, the company's arcade production reached 15,000 units, including 10,000 units of tank battles and 5,000 units of Hong Kong cubes. Under the condition of not continuing to expand the recruitment, this is almost the limit of production capacity!"

Han Peng, the company's chief executive officer, glanced at Li Xuan and continued: "But the company has received orders from the North American market to 113,000 units, and last month European agents also began to contact us, so far we have signed contracts with agents in the United Kingdom, France, Italy and other countries 16,000 units, and will continue to climb in the next few months."

The arcade machines we produce will be supplied to the European and American markets first. So even though Hutchison has repeatedly asked us to increase our shipments to them, we still only supply them 500 arcade machines a month.

In accordance with our company's policy, the highest priority is given to the after-sales maintenance of products that have already been sold. Since Hutchison couldn't get the whole machine supply from us, and didn't want the opportunity to make money to go in vain, it could only take a risk and hit the idea on the game console motherboard. ”

Li Xuan nodded approvingly, and Han Peng hit the nail on the head to grasp the deepest reason for the company's problems this time, insufficient production capacity.

"After the last expansion, the arcade factory is just on the right track, and I don't want to expand again immediately, and it will take at least a month or two of buffer time!" He Guoyuan, the vice president in charge of operations, shook his head and said, without waiting for everyone to speak, he directly rejected the recruitment plan.

"Then you can only outsource and find an OEM foundry!" Han Peng said firmly.

"In fact, arcade assembly is a process that does not have much technical content, and it is not difficult to find a qualified foundry in Hong Kong!" Ho continued, "so I don't want to build a company to continue to expand the scale of the arcade production department, and this part of the business can be outsourced."

The focus of our expansion at this stage should be on the motherboard factory under construction. The motherboard is the core component of an arcade machine, and although we can choose to cooperate with a manufacturer like Epson, it is still necessary to keep a motherboard factory by ourselves!"

"Brother Peng, please ask the boss of Hutchison Shao Yongqiang to talk about it in the past two days. We can not blame the past, but we only have one chance to make mistakes, and I hope he will not regard our friendship with old friends as weakness and deception!"

Li Xuan nodded at Han Peng and said, "The Hutchison Company itself has its own arcade factory. From now on, we will only provide them with arcade boards, which can be assembled and produced by themselves.

Originally, out of consideration for squeezing the profit margins of copycat factories, I gave Hutchison a lower shipping price than Europe and the United States. I'm sorry, but now this offer is gone! In the future, the main board quotation for Hutchison will be the same as that for Cousins!"

Dongfang Electronics Company's game console, now it's like the emperor's daughter, and she can't get married at all, do you love it!

"Finally, there is the supplier bidding conference at the end of this month, so far, our administration department has received dozens of bids from dozens of companies including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan!" Wang Ying, vice president in charge of administrative affairs, said, "Japan's Hitachi and NEC companies also sent a special letter to inquire why CRT Display did not participate in this bidding!"

The supply of CRT displays has been determined in advance, and the selection of Hong Kong-based enterprises, Luk's Electronics Company. Lu Qintian knew that the strength of Lu's company was not enough to compete with Japanese companies. In order to win this large order, he directly offered to let Dongfang Electronics participate in Lu's company.
