Chapter 278 - Packing box printed in Chinese
Tang Fei felt that this call should be a business matter, so he asked softly, "Whose phone call, what's the matter?"
Wang Hailong said: "Britt called, they are our old customers, saying that they will come to us the day after tomorrow and want to order some more of our products." ”
Britt is a senior executive of a major computer company in the United States, which has long ordered some small computer accessories from Jiuzhou Industry, such as power fans, CUP fans, etc., in addition to producing computers, they also develop their own computer CUP.
Fortunately, Tang Fei not only helped them solve the major defects of this CUP, but also solved several hidden defects together.
At present, their CUP is one of the main CUPS on personal computers, and occupies a significant share of the personal computer market.
When Britt comes to his own company, does he want to order a large number of power fans, CUP fans and other things, or do he want to talk about the authorized production of USB flash drives, or other things?
Jiuzhou Industry has authorized three well-known large enterprises to produce and manufacture U disks, including two in North America and one in Europe, and the number of U disks produced and manufactured every year is tens of millions, and Jiuzhou Industry has also made a lot of money, earning tens of millions of dollars every year.
Britt's company is one of the authorized manufacturers of U disks, which produced tens of millions of U disks last year, and also paid tens of millions of dollars to Jiuzhou Industry for the production authorization of U disks.
Tang Fei said: "Britt, they can be regarded as our old customers, do a good job of reception, and send someone to the airport to greet them the day after tomorrow." ”
Wang Hailong said: "Okay, boss." ”
……..
Britt prepares to leave for China.
However, there was one thing that made him feel pressured. They are well-known computer companies, developing and manufacturing their own chips, and they need a large number of wafers every year, up to tens of millions of dollars.
This year's international wafer market seems to be a little abnormal, there are fewer high-quality wafers, which are often snatched up, and many companies that need wafers can only lower their requirements and purchase some wafers with slightly worse quality.
The production and manufacturing of computer CUP has high requirements for wafer quality, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. If it's other products, like digital products, or memory and things like that, you can lower the requirements of the wafer a little bit, but not the CUP.
The quality of the wafer is not good, and if the manufactured CUP also has quality problems incidentally, then the matter is serious.
Britt did not lower its requirements, but the international market is trying to find high-quality wafers, and the eyes are basically locked on high-quality wafers of eight inches or twelve inches.
Finally, I contacted a Korean wafer manufacturing company, and the other party said that there were some eight-inch high-quality wafers.
After the samples come in, they need to be rigorously tested, and the samples are already being tested by the technical and quality departments, and Britt is waiting for the results.
He thought in his heart that he hoped that before going to Huaxia, he would get this matter done, and hoped that the wafers produced by this Korean company could meet their own requirements, and they were of good quality and could be used for the production and manufacturing of CUPS as they advertised.
The results finally came out, and the test report was sent to Britt's desk, and after reading the report, he was silent for a long time.
The South Korean company is obviously exaggerating the hype, and their wafers are not what they say they are at all, but there are more defects and bad pixels, which can only be regarded as the world's second-rate level.
What to do, what to do!
Britt is a little anxious, he will leave for Huaxia tomorrow, the tickets have been booked, and he has also contacted Jiuzhou Industrial Company, and it is inconvenient to change the itinerary.
Sighing softly, Britt had no choice but to make a report to his boss, first go to Huaxia, and then go to find qualified wafer manufacturers to order the wafers they need.
Wafer production has a strong technical barrier, not want to enter can enter, even if you know that this industry is very profitable, but the production of wafer enterprises are so many, in the computing technology development is getting faster and faster in 2000, the market of wafers has been significantly less than demand.
The boss also agreed, allowing Britt to go to Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd. first, and then find a qualified wafer manufacturing company after returning, and then order wafers.
So, Britt took his assistant, a group of two, to Huaxia by plane, and after a transfer, arrived at the provincial airport in Jiangnan Province.
Walking out of the airport, Britt saw someone holding a sign outside to greet him, this is someone from Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd., not only people, but also a high-end business car.
The visitor said in English: "You are Mr. Britt, we are from Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd., please get in the car." ”
Britt waited for the business car, arrived at Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd., and was arranged in the No. 1 reception room, where Wang Hailong personally received them.
"Mr. Britt, welcome to our Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd. again. ”
Britt looked through the glass window, looked outside, and said with emotion: "Wang, you have changed so much here, I thought I was in the wrong place." ”
He hadn't come back for at least a year, and when he came before, he was still in the area of the former labor service company, which has now been completely demolished and a brand new factory building has been built.
The factory gate has also been changed to the current side, the magnificent factory gate, the brand-new office building and the technology research and development center, coupled with the neat large factory buildings, this visual impact makes Britt think that he is in the wrong place.
The two chatted and drank coffee, and Britt also made a request, and after the business was over, please allow him to take a look and visit the factory.
Wang Hailong agreed, and said enthusiastically: "No problem, when the business is over, I will act as a guide for you and take you to visit." ”
Gradually, the two also talked about business.
This time, Britt came over, in fact, the purpose is very simple, in addition to ordering various fans and motors worth more than one million dollars, I also want to talk about the authorized production of USB flash drives.
When the agreement was signed, they paid Jiuzhou Industry $1 for authorized production for each USB flash drive produced, which was very cost-effective at the beginning.
Where do you think, the market demand for USB flash drive is so huge, just last year Britt they paid tens of millions of dollars to Jiuzhou Industry, and it is expected that this year will be more.
When Britt proposed to reduce the cost of authorized production, such as paying $0.8 per USB flash drive, Wang Hailong refused with a smile.
Britt also knew that there was little hope, just asked tentatively, and after being rejected, he was not angry, because he knew that the patented technology was in the hands of Jiuzhou Industry, and they could not make concessions and reduce the cost of authorized production.
If not, forget it.
The two sides did not dwell too much on this issue, and Britt only asked tentatively, and then, the two sides signed a contract worth more than $100 before.
This contract includes computer power supply fans, CUP fans, motherboard fans, etc., all in sets, with a total value of more than a million dollars.
Britt and they have ordered these things from Jiuzhou Industry for a long time, and the contracts are ready-made, and the price does not need to be negotiated, which is very efficient.
After the contract was signed, Britt was enthusiastic and proposed that he wanted to visit the factory of Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd.
Wang Hailong also agreed, just reminded, refuse to take pictures, please abide by the confidentiality requirements of Jiuzhou Industry, see what should be seen, and don't look at what shouldn't be seen.
Wang Hailong personally acted as a guide, took Britt and his assistant, and the three of them walked out of the reception room, out of the office building, and towards the factory area.
For the motor manufacturing plant, Britt did not seem to have much interest, only went to see the micro motor manufacturing plant, in this building to see the production process of computer power fans, CUP fans, etc.
Then, he brought it up and wanted to take a look inside the IGBT manufacturing plant.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hailong still agreed. After changing into professional clothes, putting on a hood, changing into anti-static shoes, and after a series of cleaning measures such as wind baths, the three of them finally entered the IGBT manufacturing plant.
Walking into this factory, coming to the production site, seeing the production workers in white coats, seeing the ground that is so clean that it can shine the shadows, seeing the advanced production equipment, and seeing the IGBT products that are manufactured, Britt said in his heart that the production here is the fifth generation of IGBT products, which is really amazing.
This IGBT production site, Britt is the longest.
After watching it for a long time, he was reluctant to leave, and after leaving the IGBT manufacturing plant, he continued to visit under the leadership of Wang Hailong.
Britt felt that the area of Jiuzhou industrial production plant is not small, and each factory building is also very large and neat. Inside the factory, it was busy.
Unconsciously, under the leadership of Wang Hailong, he came to the logistics and warehousing area of Jiuzhou Industrial Co., Ltd. Here, it seems more lively and busy.
A lot of big trucks come in and out, empty trucks come in, and they leave here with a load of all kinds of products. Seeing this scene, Britt guessed in his heart that the benefits of Jiuzhou Industry must not be much, and the profit level must be much higher than that of ordinary manufacturing enterprises.
Britt also saw that many of the products here seem to be exported, IGBT products, all kinds of servo motors, are transported from here by professional logistics companies, will be shipped to the seaport, and then loaded and shipped abroad.
Seeing that the warehouse of Jiuzhou Industry Co., Ltd. was good, Britt wanted to enter and have a look, so he made a request and wanted to enter and visit.
Wang Hailong also agreed, and took Britt into the warehouse, but he was very measured, and he would not go to some key areas.
Britt saw that the warehouse was very large and the hardware facilities were good, but it seemed relatively empty, because many of the products that were manufactured did not need to enter the warehouse, and were immediately loaded and transported away by the large trucks outside.
Seeing that the warehouse was relatively empty and there were not many things, Britt just visited it a little and wanted to leave. Suddenly, he stopped, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
At first, he thought he had misunderstood, but after confirming that he was not mistaken, he walked over quickly, and his expression gradually became excited.
He actually looked at the wafers here, the number was not small, the packaging boxes were neatly arranged, and to Britt's surprise, the packaging boxes were not in English, but all in Chinese.
