Chapter 18 Boat Racing

Dragonflies fly, damselflies play.

On August 20, before the end of the summer vacation, the children in the factory waved their nets and chased the dragonflies around.

The first batch of 1,000 hydro game machines was made and shipped to the port at Nick's request.

Because of the proficiency, as well as the imperfect process of making zuò and other reasons, the speed of the hydraulic game mechanism is not very fast, and the average number of tsuò is completed in a single day. That's too slow for a factory with 600 regular employees.

However, in recent days, the production capacity has climbed up a lot, basically about 500 per day, according to this progress, it is estimated that 1,000 per day can be completed next week, and next week will reach the most ideal state, with an output of 2,000 a day.

Originally, Yu Tiecheng thought that all 100,000 units would be completed and delivered at one time. However, Nick wanted to send a small part to the United States first, and Yu Tiecheng agreed.

After all, the one dollar written in the contract is the FOB price, the small number of shipments, and the high unit freight rate has nothing to do with the third factory.

Nick sent a small batch of goods first, because he used his mouth to describe the hydro game console on the phone, and there were always some deviations, so it was more reliable to let the head office see the real thing.

If the head office thinks that this toy is not bad and has a relatively broad market, it is estimated that there will be additional orders.

Although the structure of the hydraulic game machine is not complicated, Nick thought with his toes, and also knew that if he wanted to make more hydraulic game machines, the company would look for this Chinese company on the other side of the ocean, rather than looking for a manufacturer in the United States.

The reason why this is done is because the labor in the United States is too expensive, and if you add this kind of good wood used in the hydraulic game machine, the manufacturer's quotation is estimated to be higher than the sales price.

Most of the toys are cheap and high-selling fast-moving products, otherwise, the toys sold in the United States will not be sixty percent from Hong Kong, thirty percent from Japan, and less than one percent are manufactured by local enterprises in the United States.

In Nick's view, the biggest advantage of China, with its one billion citizens, is the advantage of labor costs. Not to mention anything else, it is to snatch 30% of Hong Kong's 60% toy production, which is enough to make a huge change in the land under your feet.

When he told Yu Sheng about this, Yu Sheng's reaction was both unexpected and in his imagination.

"Low-end toys are just a stepping stone to the climb to video games, and if we stay here, won't we always have to look up to other countries at the foot of the mountain?"

Nick thought in his heart, industrial transfer is the general trend of world capital, and it is a matter of course to go wherever the manufacturing cost is cheap.

It is no longer easy for backward countries to obtain backward technologies that have been eliminated by advanced countries, and to produce products.

If we want to move from backward to advanced, it depends on whether the advanced countries are given this opportunity or not. Technological blockade is no joke, and even if the backward countries want to improve, the advanced countries will not allow it.

The originally backward ones are advanced, so who are the ones who are going to exploit them?

All countries on the earth are like a food chain, divided into three, six, nine and so on, and if they are backward, they will be exploited, which is an unbreakable truth.

However, Nick looked at the sunny face for the rest of his life and didn't say these words. There is nothing wrong with having dreams and ideals.

It's not a good choice to puncture other people's dreams.

"Nick, what do you think of this new toy?" Yu Sheng's spoken English has been a lot better recently, plus he is familiar with Nick, and he can't understand how much Nick can speak.

Not again......

Nick turned his head to see what new toys he had brought with him for the rest of his life. Every now and then, a new toy idea pops up for the rest of my life, some of which are physical objects and some of which are just concepts. He often asks Nick if he has a future of commoditization with these still somewhat immature ideas.

Although Nick likes the rest of his life, he slowly gets a little annoyed. At the same time, he also admired Yu Sheng, after all, with China's conditions, he couldn't play with too many toys, and it was really difficult for him to have so many ideas for the rest of his life.

"This is a building block?" Nick gnawed on a pile of wooden blocks in Yu Sheng's hand and asked, "If it's building blocks, there are already a lot of these toys on the market." ”

"It's not just building blocks......," Yu Sheng said as he assembled the small wooden blocks of different shapes, and it took about five or six minutes to assemble a decent boat.

There is a small button on the side of the boat, and when you press it, you can hear the motor turning.

Yu Sheng didn't wait for Nick to speak, and explained to himself, "The inspiration for this toy came from when I made the Zuò ore radio that day.

When I finished the ore radio and heard the voice of the announcer of the Central People's Radio in the headphones, I couldn't get excited. I think that making zuò by yourself can make people enjoy an incomparable sense of happiness and accomplishment......"

Yu Sheng said as he flipped through the dictionary and wrote down words he couldn't say on paper. He explained for ten minutes, and Nick guessed and understood what the rest of his life meant.

To put it simply, the idea of this toy for the rest of my life is somewhat similar to building blocks, and the concept is that the best toy is the toy that you make yourself.

Yu Sheng took Nick to the edge of the pond and put the freshly set boat in his hand into the water. The propellers in the rear, which caused ripples on the water, moved the boat forward, disturbing the dragonflies who were a little in the water.

Nick had just assembled the boat himself, and he knew that the boat was exquisitely designed, and it was made of wood inlaid with each other without the slightest fixed parts such as screws and nails, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a craft.

Both of them were on the other side of the small pond, and Yu Sheng scooped up the boat that touched the shore and said, "It's not just a small boat, it's also a machine, I think this kind of toy that can be changed into two things, it should be popular with children." ”

Yu Sheng pulled out the key wooden block, and the entire boat immediately collapsed into a pile of wooden blocks.

He picked through the pile of pieces and put them together. It didn't take long for Nick to see a man who wasn't too handsome.

"It's a little bit of a pity. It is due to the fact that he is all wooden, except for the motor and wires. Therefore, the joint can't move, only this one posture. Nick, what do you think of this toy? ”

Nick was silent for a moment and shouted, "Boat racing, too!" ”

"Or rowing? Do you call it that? Yu Sheng asked, he touched his chin that had just a few whiskers and said, "A rowing boat named Yike is not bad." ”

"Boat racing, too! Boat racing is also available! Nick yelled several more times.

The rest of his life realized that Nick should speak English and should look up the dictionary. It turns out that "excited" means excited.

"Is this toy great?" Yu Sheng asked.

"Great, great!" Nick spoke Chinese excitedly. He circled excitedly, wondering what kind of huge market this toy would have in the United States.

Growing up in the United States, Nick knows how attractive a shapeable toy like this can be to American children.

"You're such a genius!" Nick said excitedly to the rest of his life.;
