Chapter 229 [Coordination and Coordination (Medium)]
The new monitoring equipment developed by Haitian Electronics this time, including several models, is specially designed for more extreme working environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, fog, smoke, etc., but it cannot cope with serious haze environments, which still needs to be further breakthroughs in technology.
For more than 20 years, Haitian Electronics has maintained a high investment in research and development, which is an important guarantee for the company's continued vigorous development.
Moore (Gordon_Moore), one of Intel's founders, famously said that when the price is the same, the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles roughly every 18 months, and the performance doubles. This view is known as Moore's Law. In addition, Microsoft founder Robert Gates (Bill_Gates) once said: We are only eighteen months away from bankruptcy.
Although Moore's Law is not a universal truth, the development of semiconductor technology has slowed down, and the replacement cycle has changed from 18 months to 36 months, but the electronics industry is still one of the fastest growing industries in the world.
Of course, if you don't engage in R&D yourself, you can still keep up with the speed of market progress through other ways, such as buying other people's core components, production lines or patented technologies, but such enterprises are more like assembly workshops, which can neither earn major profits nor completely control their destiny.
It took Anyiqin less than 20 minutes to introduce all the evaluation results, and also compared them with several similar products.
Detail is not the same as wordiness, and those who work under He Huiming know the difference between the two. It's not a press conference to launch a new device, it's not a product to sell to customers, and there's no need to talk about rendering.
After An Yiqin returned to the table and sat down, He Huiming asked, "How is the production line evaluation of the new equipment doing?"
"The commissioning of the experimental production line has been completed, but Director Hou believes that there are still some areas that need to be improved, and we are exploring more reasonable solutions. An Yiqin said and looked at Hou Kaijie.
Hou Kaijie explained: "I think the production line of the new equipment should reflect greater advantages in terms of production efficiency and use of labor, and reduce production costs as much as possible, so as to further enhance the market competitiveness of products." ”
An Yiqin said: "Our new products are highly technical and aimed at special customer groups, which is obviously different from our previous products. Personally, I believe that the impact of the difference in production costs has been reduced to a secondary factor. ”
"I don't deny it, but that's just the current situation. With the technological progress of the entire industry, there will be more and more competitors, and the technical advantages of products will be gradually weakened, and finally we must rely on cost advantages to compete. ”
From the development of a product to the production line to achieve mass production, it is a very complex matter, and there are many factors that need to be considered. Although Haitian Electronics has accumulated a lot of experience in the production of monitoring equipment, and it is not difficult to achieve this process, the relationship between cost and benefit is the core issue that cannot be bypassed at any time, and the difference between An Yiqin and Hou Kaijie is here.
An Yiqin believes that the technical advantages of the new product ensure sufficient competitiveness, for specific user groups, price is not the main influencing factor, the current situation of the experimental production line has been able to meet the requirements of mass production, continue to make an article on the production line, will outweigh the losses. In order to reduce a process and save a labor, it often takes a lot of manpower and material resources to be able to achieve, so that although the production cost is reduced, the R & D cost will rise sharply, and the time to market will be delayed, which is equivalent to weakening the technical advantages of the new product and prolonging the recovery cycle of the R & D cost. Rather than that, it would be in the company's interest to invest those resources in other research.
Hou Kaijie believes that the production cost must be strictly controlled, even if the cost of saving a dime from a component is extremely considerable, and it cannot be ignored because of the abundant profit margin. In the future, more and more companies will have the ability to produce similar products, and at that time, the company's products will still be able to rely on the production cost advantage to ensure sufficient competitiveness, so it is completely worthwhile to delay the time to market of new products.
Although the argument between the two men was not heated, they showed a very firm attitude. The object of their statement is not the other party, but He Huiming, in order to prove their point of view, each of them cited a lot of examples and analysis data, otherwise it is meaningless to just talk about those big truths.
It took about a quarter of an hour for the two men to settle their arguments after they had fully articulated their arguments. This is not a debate, there is no need to go back and forth between you and me, and He Huiming will not simply affirm or deny one side. Although these two people have different views, there is no right or wrong, and the starting point is to maximize profits, but they are in different positions and look at problems from different angles.
After listening to the two of them, He Huiming pondered for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Zhong Yan: "Minister Zhong, what do you think?"
Zhong Yan said: "Minister An and Director Hou are reasonable, but any judgment we make should be fully based on the market, otherwise it will not be objective and rigorous." We've all read the market research report, but shouldn't we listen to the opinions of the sales company before drawing conclusions?"
Hearing him say this, several people looked at Lin Ruoxi and Mo Fan.
The production behavior of enterprises cannot exist in isolation, but must be combined with sales behavior, and realize the conversion of production funds, commodity funds, and monetary funds through the circulation of the market, so that production can be sustained. The relationship between supply and demand in the market is the most critical link in this chain, and most of the business decisions of enterprises are based on this.
The sales of Haitian electronic terminal products are fully responsible for Haitian Science and Trade, and the coordination and cooperation between the two companies is extremely important, so whenever He Huiming makes more important decisions, Lin Ruoxi will be involved, which is of course also because the relationship between the two companies is extraordinary, otherwise this situation would not have happened.
Since Lin Ruoxi joined the decision-making meeting of Haitian Electronics, her opinion has played a very important role every time. The main executives of Haitian Electronics are no strangers to Lin Ruoxi, and an old courtier like Zhong Yan can be regarded as watching her grow up, and they all know that she has been special since she was a child. But after two decision-making meetings, they really had an intuitive understanding of Lin Ruoxi's extraordinaryness, and they couldn't help but secretly put away the mentality of their elders.
In fact, today's discussion was supposed to take place on Monday, but it was postponed to today because Lin Ruoxi went to the United States. But now that Lin Ruoxi is here and has brought a deputy, can she give valuable analysis in such a short period of time?
When An Yiqin talked about the evaluation results of new products before, including He Huiming, they all paid attention to Lin Ruoxi and Mo Fan's actions. Lin Ruoxi listened while making notes on the sticky note, which was normal, and she was not the only one who made the notes. And Mo Fan's behavior was more strange, I saw that he was looking at the stack of market research reports without distraction, as if he was deaf to everything around him, and he was extremely focused. But the speed at which he turned the pages was a little too fast, right? At most, he only looked at each page for a second or two, so that he could see a few lines clearly?
Then An Yiqin and Hou Kaijie started an argument, and everyone's attention was more focused on them.
At this time, several people looked over again and saw that Mo Fan was discussing something with Lin Ruoxi in a whisper, and the stack of research reports was placed aside. According to Mo Fan's speed of turning the page, it is naturally more than enough to turn all the pages during this time, but it is really doubtful that he can see what kind of fame he can see.
Lin Ruoxi saw that He Huiming and the others were looking at her and Mo Fan, and said, "Please wait a minute, we need to do an overall analysis of these seven reports." ”
Mo Fan also knew that people were waiting for their opinions, and said slightly apologetically: "It will be fine soon." ”
Then the two discussed again, this time they didn't have to worry about affecting others, and they no longer deliberately lowered their voices. Listening to their discussion, He Huiming and the others were quite surprised, and the more they listened, the more this feeling became.
There are seven market research reports in Nawa, which are conducted on the markets of seven different provinces and cities, and each report is independent. Among them, the market research of Puhai and the surrounding two provinces was done by Haitian Electronics' own team, and the remaining four provinces were commissioned by professional research companies.
Before developing a new product, Haitian Electronics had done a market research during the feasibility study, which was broader than this time, but with a different focus and less detailed in comparison. This market research report is for market development, the content is very rich, the amount of information is huge.
When He Huiming and others read these reports, it took quite a long time. Although there are analytical derivations and conclusions in the report, they do not simply take them directly and skip the other parts, and only by fully interpreting and analyzing the entire content can they make a correct assessment of the market situation.
Now it seems that Lin Ruoxi and Mo Fan's understanding of these seven reports is not below them. If they hadn't seen and heard it with their own eyes, who would have believed that it would have been less than half an hour since these reports were handed over to them.
He Huiming is undoubtedly one of the people who know Lin Ruoxi best, and he is the one who really watched her grow up, and he has long been accustomed to her extraordinary actions for so many years. But He Huiming knew that Lin Ruoxi alone couldn't do this situation in front of him.
The answer naturally lies in Mo Fan. Mo Fan flipped through the situation of those reports He Huiming saw it, it was indeed a bit shocking, but it was understandable that this should be a special ability. But Mo Fan not only read the reports himself, but also let Lin Ruoxi understand the full content of the reports, which is a bit unbelievable.
How did they do it?
