Chapter 373 R&D work
The six engineers all felt that Hang Yu's task was a bit overkill.
They first studied the mobile phone parts supplied by manufacturers in various countries, and set up seven plans according to the parameters and prices of the parts. Hang Yu chose three solutions, one is the low-end integration with a price of 754 yuan, and the other is the mid-end integration with a price of 1125 yuan and 1778 yuan.
Then, according to the requirements of the three schemes, the equipment, scale and layout of the factory were formulated.
The purchase price of the three schemes is relatively expensive, plus the expenses of manual assembly, loss and transportation, etc., the final profit of each mobile phone may be less than 100 yuan.
There is no way, who called Jiangyan Company has no independent research and development capability for the time being, and can only do assembly work.
Hang Yu took their design report and asked Xiao Zili of the Ministry of Commerce to take care of the procurement of equipment and materials, and then approached Hang Yougong's construction company and asked him to design the factory building facilities according to these requirements.
At this time, Hang Yougong's construction company was relatively complete, with an architectural design team of 41 people. More than half of them had tasks, and Hang Yu's factory design was handed over to a seven-person design team.
At the same time as the task of Jiangyan Company was completed, Zeng Yuyang's technical team had already recruited ten people.
They came to the research room of the Yanjing branch and saw that Fu Yunze had set up a high-end technical team of more than 30 people, as well as a batch of complete mobile phone screen research and development equipment, the price of which was as high as more than 30 million.
"You can use the equipment here, but you have to declare it in advance and get it approved. Our main task is to develop mobile phone screens, and we hope that you will not interfere with our research work. It was not Fu Yunze who came forward to receive them, because Fu Yunze had already put himself into his work and forgot to sleep and eat, so the deputy leader of the team "Xie Wujin" took them to familiarize themselves with the research room.
When Xie Wujin learned of their task, he was more contemptuous of the "assembly work", so his tone was quite cold. He didn't know the information of Zeng Yuyang and Lu Mingyue, and thought they were just low-end hardware designers.
A young engineer wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Zeng Yuyang, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, we know the rules." "In the past, when he was doing experiments at the university, because of the scarcity of equipment, he had to report before he could use it.
Other engineers have more or less this kind of experience, not to mention universities, many companies are like this. After all, scientific research equipment is expensive, and unless you are the most elite engineer scientist, you can't use it casually.
"That's good. Xie Wujin said.
After taking them to familiarize themselves with the equipment layout of the research room, Xie Wujin also devoted himself to work.
Zeng Yuyang, the leader of another team, first asked the team members to go back to the dormitory to have a good rest, held a meeting to organize, further studied and clarified the team's next work plan, and then started the design work the next day.
Yuan Lijing and Yuan Yin are also in his team, because the exterior design and internal design need to cooperate, it is more convenient to work together, and the two of them can't be divided into another group.
For experienced PhD-level engineers like them, assembling a phone really doesn't have any difficulty. After getting the experimental components purchased by the Ministry of Commerce, it took only one week for Zeng Yuyang to complete the assembly of three mobile phones and pass the test.
Then Yuan Lijing and Yuan Yin designed the appearance of the mobile phone according to their assembly model, which was a little more difficult. Because Hang Yu has relatively high requirements for the shape of mobile phones, he believes that tall and cheap mobile phones should attract many customers.
Customers don't know the level of technology inside your mobile phone, so Hang Yu thinks it's worth it to work the appearance and improve the overall value of the phone. Unlike some miscellaneous mobile phone manufacturers, the mobile phone shape is garbage, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a miscellaneous brand.
In accordance with Hang Yu's requirements, Zeng Yuyang and others began to improve some mobile phone parts according to the characteristics of African users. For example, cameras, because Africans are too dark, ordinary cameras are ineffective for them, Africans like to listen to songs with mobile phone voiceovers, and so on.
Sun Chuan's research department is already conducting research in Africa, and every other week, they send back a lot of research data, which is analyzed and handed over to Zeng Yuyang's engineering team, which is very helpful to their work.
Some of the characteristics of the African market that Hang Yu didn't know, Sun Chuan and they investigated and continued to improve the functions of this mobile phone in the future. The difficulty of improving the parts is also quite high, and different parts need to be purchased for different parts, so the money is also very fast.
Yang suggested that Hang Yu temporarily suspend the bonus of the technical department to ease the financial constraints. But Hang Yu vetoed the proposal, and no matter how tight the funds were, he would not fight the idea of staff salaries and bonuses.
On the one hand, it is to give employees confidence and security, and on the other hand, their salaries and bonuses are not a major drain. Stopping for a period of time is very shaky to people's hearts, but it does not help much to alleviate the funds, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Yang didn't force it, anyway, the funds were too tight, and the fund company could help.
The staff of the Yanjing branch did not live up to Hang Yu's trust, according to Du Zhenhua's inspection, they worked very hard, the management took the lead in working overtime, and the staff rarely complained, stimulated by overtime pay and generous bonuses.
"This is the latest equipment purchase order of the Yanjing branch, you can take a look. Du Zhenhua went to the Yanjing branch to inspect, in addition to observing their work status, but also to verify the use of funds.
In terms of money, Hang Yu will not let down his vigilance at any time, as long as there is no ghost in his heart, I believe that the management of the technical department will also understand Hang Yu's supervision mechanism, after all, everyone is an adult.
Hundreds of thousands of cheap equipment, millions of expensive equipment, it is not possible to do without supervision.
"Have you checked all the equipment over there? Hang Yu asked while looking at the list.
"I have checked them all, and compared them with the quotations of other equipment suppliers on the market, and found no problems. Du Zhenhua said.
"That's good, how is the situation of the cross-server company? Hang Yu asked.
Hang Yu is in the center, so he can know the situation of each branch and branch, and most of the information is collected and sorted out by Du Zhenhua. With the expansion of cross-server companies, fund companies, Yanjing branches, agents and purchasing departments, Du Zhenhua runs around almost every day.
It is good for Du Zhenhua to run like this, except for Hang Yu, he knows the overall situation of Jiangyan Company best.
"The second internal test of DNF has been completed, and the third internal test is being prepared, and it is estimated that it will be open in two months. In addition, CF is also preparing for the first internal test, and the company is currently running well, and there are no problems in personnel and finance. Du Zhenhua said.
"Yes. Hang Yu nodded slightly.
