Chapter 52 Hearing the wind and moving, the production capacity is exploded
Without waiting for the organization of sales, an order will automatically come to the door, which is really a good sign!
The man who placed the order, Paul Terrell, had a retail store, also in Mountain View. After introducing himself, Paul waved his hand: "I want 500 arcade machines." ”
Lin Yi was taken aback, Mountain View City was not big, and he had already turned around. The 'bit shop' is not big, and it is barely enough to put two prototypes! Moreover, there is another question: "Paul, don't you sell computers?"
Paul patted his chest and said proudly: "In four months, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, San Jose, and even Portland in the north have my stores. The computer dealer on the West Coast, I'm one of the biggest in size!"
Lin Yi interrupted him: "I mean, are you going to change careers?"
Paul waved his hand again and again: "What kind of business? Aren't computers and arcade machines all electronic products? Besides, as long as you can make money, what can't you do?"
Sending away the retailer, Lin Yi waved the order, excited and uncontrollable: "500 arcade machines, even if the wholesale price, the profit is 300,000 US dollars." This order can be completed by the factory in two or three days. What would it be like if it was at full capacity throughout the year?"
Sunflower also came to make fun: "If all products are only retail and not wholesale, the income can be doubled!"
Phelan hurriedly spoke, breaking their daydream: "When the work starts at full capacity, won't the workers rest? Only retail and not wholesale, the world is so big, can we run over?"
Approaching his girlfriend's ear, Lin Yi couldn't help muttering: "I can't dream, I'm such a nerd!"
Xiang Yanghua laughed out loud and hurriedly pushed him away: "Don't make trouble, it's so itchy!"
Although the president said so, the retail team still had to be formed. It's not that there is no money to advertise, but if there are too many orders, the factory capacity can't keep up. So door-to-door sales are still essential.
Bars, playgrounds, university clubs, from adults to teenagers, from society to school. The company's footsteps are all over San Francisco Bay. The surrounding urban agglomeration is the focus of the strategy.
One by one, the bosses were originally full of suspicion, and finally rushed to buy them. 1,000 arcade machines, swept away in the blink of an eye. 3 million sales, 1 million net profit, Lin Yi was dumbfounded.
Seeing that it went so smoothly, engineer Wang Jie couldn't help but joke: "During the Atari Wasteland period, everyone didn't know the video game console. Whether it is an electrical appliance or a toy, the merchant is not clear. ”
Lin Yi nodded and admitted: "Atari's road to success, let's go through it again, of course it is much easier! After all, the thorns have been smoothed by the predecessors." ”
After that, Los Angeles, Seattle, the sales team went out and ran all over the West Coast. Door-to-door sales, this time there is no need at all. In each city, just open a few windows to display the company's products. Merchants have a keen sense of smell and will move on their own.
Then, with the dot with the line, with the line with the surface, the name of the game of heaven was spread far away!
The order of snowflakes flew in, although fifty units, one hundred units, the number is not much, but Lin Yi buried himself in it, and he was still as happy as a dream!
It's a pity that Phelan woke him up with one sentence: "Our factory, the production capacity has reached its peak." Don't take orders anymore, if you can't deliver on time, the company will lose money. Worse still, it can damage business reputation. ”
Lin Yi immediately analyzed and found the crux of the problem: "When I was writing novels in Hong Kong, I heard that works that no one followed the trend are not good works! So, in Paradise Games, merchants can't buy goods, will it give rise to copycats?"
"Unless all the businessmen are now all in business. Otherwise, it's an inevitable phenomenon!"
The meat in the pot has already been cooked, of course, it can't be given to others! Lin Yi acted resolutely and decided to immediately expand production capacity. Except for the game motherboard, all other production processes are outsourced. As a result, the plant's daily production capacity soared from 200 to 500 units.
The situation in front of me can cope with the past. However, the Heaven Company is still facing the troubles of happiness. Businessmen are like sharks, and profits are the smell of blood, they are surging towards Lin Yi from all over the country!
New York, Boston, the East Coast, Chicago, Salt Lake City, the Outback. Businessmen in big cities are more well-informed. It can be predicted that the first to come, the last to come.
The factory is already running at full capacity. Because of the economic crisis, workers are worried about losing their jobs. So work overtime, no complaints for the time being.
However, Lin Yi complained privately: "It would be nice if all the workers could be replaced by robots." Not only do you not need to pay overtime, but you can really work at full capacity 24 hours a day!"
Xiang Yanghua frowned: "Too greedy, aren't they!, and if they lose their jobs, what will they do to support their families?"
Although there is no support, but Lin Yi will not hit his girlfriend's kindness. What he didn't say was: "Laying off employees on the machine will be really common in the future." As for unemployment, that's the government's business!"
However, to solve the current problem, we still have to use the current means: "If it is advertised, there will definitely be more orders." So until then, we have to blow up the production capacity first. ”
Phelan took out the map: "The factory here is not suitable for further expansion." Preferably on the East Coast, acquire a second plant. Delaware and Pennsylvania are vigorously reviving their economies, with significant tax incentives. ”
Lin Yi cared: "Which one is better?"
"It's pretty much the same. Still, it's best to prefer Delaware. You see, it's not only on the Atlantic Ocean, but it's also located right in the middle of the east coast. In the transportation of products, the advantages are very obvious. ”
Saving logistics costs and benefiting exports to Europe, Lin Yi is of course happy.
Delaware, with a stable power supply and abundant water resources, is a treasure trove of industrial production. Moreover, it is no more than 125 miles from New York and HSD. Therefore, the chemical giant DuPont, the headquarters chose here.
After flying here, seeing the tax policy, Lin Yi immediately smiled-
No sales tax;
There is no inventory tax;
There is no personal property tax;
Tax relief for new companies;
Allows for rapid depreciation of newly acquired assets.
Wait a minute......
Although there are some entries that Lin Yi didn't understand, as long as it's a good thing, then everything is OK!
Ready-made factories will be ready for production soon. By that time, the production capacity was doubled. The profitability of the company will naturally multiply. Thinking of the happy place, Lin Yi's smile became more and more prosperous.
However, after the acquisition of the factory was completed, Phelan immediately reminded the boss: "Now, there is a part of the final payment, and it will take 30 to 45 days to recover." Burst production capacity first, and then find orders, and the working capital will definitely not be enough!"
The two discussed, considering that the arcade machine is expensive and there is a delay in payment collection, it will take at least $20 million to maintain cash flow while exploding production capacity.
Therefore, the matter of the second factory, immediately dump the pot Ferran. And Lin Yi himself, once again across the United States, returned to Silicon Valley to raise money.
