Chapter 169: Facing up to the automation industry
In early summer, the temperature in New York has risen significantly, and the girls have taken off their heavy winter clothes and changed into crisp dresses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Jingzhen was sitting in his office next to the East River and received a call from China to report the good news.
"Cousin? It's the middle of the night, and you're still calling? When I picked up the microphone, it was already past one o'clock in New York time, and Yu Xia on the other side of the world was already late at night.
Yuan Guanghua had a slight wine on his face, and said to his nephew a little proudly: "Today, the first automated production line was sold, and the money was not much, only 400,000 yuan, but our cost is also low, not counting the cost of hiring someone to debug in the later stage, the cost of those simple machinery is less than 100,000, which has quadrupled." ”
"Ha, I just said that imported goods are easier to sell, and most of our debugging personnel are also crooked nuts, so when we go to the buyer's factory for debugging, it should scare a lot of people, right?" Su Jingzhen is also very happy, although this 400,000 is not much, but looking at the price, you can know that this is not a complete set of production lines, it is estimated that it is a certain sub-project, such as automatic spraying or something.
Yuan Guanghua drank a lot, half lying in the rented factory dormitory near the port, laughing into the microphone and saying that he knew: "Jingzhen, you guessed really accurately this time, when others heard that our engineers have Siemens, Japan, and the worst is a local highly educated, I don't know what to say with that kind of convincing expression." ”
"How many follow-up orders are there? How is the construction of the new plant done now? Su Jingzhen sometimes doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, and when will this psychology of believing in foreign products change.
"A lot of intent orders have been negotiated, and now the basic commissioning work has been completed, and the engineers have explored a full set of solutions, and those people in Japan will return to China later, and then we can only open the few Siemens engineers we have recruited and the talents recruited in China.
However, with this plan, even if all the machinery bought from Japan is used up in the future, we can replace it with domestic products.
I don't know if I don't know, and when I entered this industry, I found that the production and installation of domestic automated production lines were actually passable. Yuan Guanghua drank a little wine, and his speech was a little talkative, a little bit of a sign of turning into a chatterbox.
"Let's take our current general electronic product automation production line, the core circuit board is automatically installed, automatically spot welded and packaged, and the rest is matched according to specific products.
For such a production line, there are basically tens of millions of foreign goods, and if there are two or three production lines in a factory, plus the land and factory buildings, the investment will basically be hundreds of millions.
But in fact, the cost of these production lines is not high, even if we go to buy foreign original equipment and come back to debug and install it ourselves, the cost of a production line is only a few million, but it can be sold for more than 10 million, if you use domestic equipment, the cost is lower, maybe two or three million can be taken. ”
Su Jingzhen felt that something was wrong when he heard it, this cost can't be so cheap, right? hurriedly asked, "Cousin, did you miscalculate?" Is it not included in the other supporting facilities of the plant? ”
"How much are those packages worth? Is floor glue worth? Or is the exhaust fan worth the money? Yuan Guanghua has inspected many factories at the window and has a clear understanding of some of the markets here.
Su Jingzhen was a little stunned at this time, in his own memory, after the 21st century, an ordinary automated production line was only two or three million at most, how could it be sold for tens of millions now? This......
This is really true, Yu Xia has a characteristic, that is, when he really wants to enter an industry, he can burst out with super ability, and he can directly make the products of an industry into cabbage prices, not to mention, the current shipbuilding industry alone is a clear proof, not to mention the future photovoltaic industry and carbon fiber.
As for automation, major colleges and universities have long had this course to teach, and continue to accumulate, at the beginning of the 21st century, the domestic automated production line has exploded the world, in addition to some particularly high-end production lines, there is no Yu Xia can not be made, the direct consequence is to make the price of the production line into cabbage.
Originally, an integrated circuit assembly production line cost several million, and then it only needed more than one million, and then later, about one million can be taken down, and the rest of the automatic cutting, automatic spraying, and automatic packaging are almost like this.
Su Jingzhen frowned, turned his head a few times, hesitated for a while, and said to Yuan Guanghua in a more tactful tone: "Cousin, if the current equipment in China is so cheap, then we may not be able to treat this as a long-term business." ”
"Huh? Why? Isn't this money earned? Yuan Guanghua listened to his nephew's words, sat up from the sofa, and couldn't figure it out.
"I'm not saying not to do it, but can't do it for a long time, you see that now the price of domestic equipment has begun to drop, so sooner or later someone will be like us, the production line will be deployed, right? What happens when the price difference between imported and domestic products grows wider? Su Jingzhen patiently guided Yuan Guanghua to consider the seriousness of the problem.
"The price of foreign products will be reduced, this is a simple reason." Yuan Guanghua didn't react so quickly after drinking, but simply caught his nephew's question.
"Then the price reduction of foreign products will put pressure on domestic products, right? At least until the two sides reach a balance, a price war cannot be avoided? That said, there is a high probability that both parties will continue to reduce the price. Su Jingzhen broke down the question and said slowly.
"I don't understand, what does this have to do with what we do now?" Yuan Guanghua held his head, he drank Hennessy XO tonight, and now it seems to be a little up.
"If we invest too much in this matter now, or just work the equipment, then it will be difficult for us to make a profit after the price of the equipment is reduced, because we have to face the competition of countless similar automation manufacturers in China." As soon as Su Jingzhen said the result, Yuan Guanghua began to frown and think, is the cause and effect relationship like his nephew said?
"Therefore, we must withdraw from the equipment in a timely manner, at least not too much investment, and turn the direction of future development to help manufacturers solve the production line deployment, do service, and do post-commissioning." Su Jingzhen will not only ask questions, he must also have a solution to the problem, so that he can convince people, who wouldn't just pick the wrong one?
"Isn't this what Siemens and Japanese manufacturers are doing now?" Yuan Guanghua knows a little about this, but can they compete with those imported manufacturers?
"It depends on the development of the market, I can't say for sure, but what I said, will definitely appear in the future, you find someone to inquire about the current domestic universities, basically have automation majors, you say that the country has no idea in this regard, who believes?" Su Jingzhen is just reminding his cousin now that he can't invest all his money in this industry, otherwise it will be difficult to withdraw in the future.
Author: The automation industry is not as simple as the above, just programming can already write a large article, but the novel, it is more complicated to write it all, maybe the plot will be embellished in the future, but there should be no large statement. (To be continued.) )
