Chapter 17 Outsourcing OEM

A champagne-coloured Mercedes-Benz S450 drives on the road to the Yau Tong Industrial Area.

This top-of-the-line configuration seL6. The 9 is the 450 top-of-the-line model launched in May '75, and once it was launched, it was sought after by wealthy people around the world because of its high price, high level of collision protection, perfect body design, excellent comfort, and strong power and easy driving.

In Hong Kong, a mountainous and hilly country with many curves and frequent ramps up and down, the S450's superior driving characteristics are like a fish in water, and it easily leaves other cars behind.

Pan Jialiang looked at his watch in the back seat and said to the driver in front: "Lao Feng, drive faster." ”

"Got it."

Lao Feng lightly clicked the accelerator, and the speed of the car quickly increased again, and he drove forward quickly.

"Look at you, if you hadn't been putting on makeup for so long before you went out, why would we be in such a hurry! Procrastinating, no sense of time at all! Pan Jialiang taught his daughter with a straight face.

"Dad, people are girls, what's wrong with Ai Meiduo dressing up? Besides, didn't you tell me to wear something nice today? Pan Meifeng took her father's hand and pushed her back and forth.

"Love beauty? I think it's true that you don't want to go! Pan Jialiang snorted.

"Dad, it's just a bun from the mainland, and I'm lucky to make a little money, why do you have to take me there. It's not that our business can't go on, so we have to beg him. Even if you want to go, it's good if you go alone, you have to wear it pretty! What are you thinking when I don't know! Pan Meifeng pouted and said angrily.

"Dad also wants you to meet more young talents, this is also for your good." Pan Jialiang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Although Dad has a factory, he can expand his contacts a little wider, and it is also for the future business to be more developed." This young man surnamed Guan is no better than these sons and brothers in Hong Kong who only know how to spend their parents' money and get into a woman's skirt and can't pull it out, he has only been in Hong Kong for a long time, and he has made a great career. It's not a little money, it's a big one! You see how popular the arcade is now, and there is so much business that you can't do it, so you're ready to find someone to do it. If this momentum continues, in a few years, Hong Kong will have another billionaire! ”

"Beware of him climbing high and falling painfully! I heard Juanjuan say that many local factories are now trying to crack his game program and plan to make counterfeit goods. I look at him, he won't be popular for long, and he's still a billionaire, hum! Pan Meifeng pursed her lips and said disdainfully.

"You'd be wrong! There are many factories doing cracking, but none of them have succeeded! This is what I admire the most. Anti-cracking, that is the technology that only European and American factories have, I can't imagine that a newcomer who has just opened a factory in Hong Kong has such a strong technical strength! It is because of this that I am optimistic about his future. What kind of industry is not something that one person can swallow, but always share some for others to eat, so that they will not fight alone. He was able to take the initiative to contact the OEM, which shows that this person is far-sighted and capable, but also understands current affairs, and is not a person who only cares about immediate interests. So as soon as I received the invitation, I immediately agreed, even if the number of orders at the beginning was smaller, but I was able to connect with Taiyu Technology as soon as possible, which is equivalent to being one step ahead of others. Pan Jialiang said proudly.

"Hmph, you men know how to calculate and calculate, and you're bored to death!" Pan Meifeng was not interested in listening to any business experience, and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car.

Dad doesn't calculate every day, how can there be a good life now, your mother's jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes; the cost of shopping; the cost of your tuition fees to study in the UK; Where do all the pocket money come from? It is precisely because of my father's hard work that you are qualified to disdain the hard work of others and live the life you want leisurely.

Pan Jialiang looked at his unruly daughter, sighed softly in his heart, and also leaned on the back seat of the car, closing his eyes and recuperating.

When I drove to Yau Tong Industrial Zone, I bypassed a row of industrial buildings, and I saw a Taiji diagram logo erected on the top of a building in the distance, next to it was the Chinese and English name - Taiyu Technology!

The destination has arrived.

Not far from this building, there is also a building on the ground floor that is rented out to the factory, also under the banner of Taiyu Company.

Pan Jialiang knew that that was an old factory, and this one was a new factory established by Taiyu Company after it became rich and sold "Space Invaders", and leased a whole building in order to expand production capacity. For the convenience of the office, but also to highlight the strength of Taiyu Technology to outsiders, the company's office location has also been moved here.

There are bamboo shelves around the building, as if they are being renovated, and some renovation workers are busy.

It seems that this will be the headquarters of Taewoo Company in the future.

When the car arrived at the front of the building, he followed the sign to the parking lot of the ground floor, and Pan Jialiang found that it was full of all kinds of cars.

There are quite a few people here today!

He sensed a sense of urgency, and hurriedly took his daughter to find the elevator, and according to the instructions of the invitation, he came to the eleventh floor, which is also the venue for today's foundry meeting.

"Ouch, Lao Pan, you're here too, isn't this Meifeng, you're also coming with your father!" As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw several people who looked like bosses smoking and chatting by the windowsill, and one of them saw them at a glance and hurriedly greeted him loudly.

"Hahahaha, it turned out to be Liu Fatzi, you are really where there is a chance to make a fortune, you can be seen wherever you are. So fat, I'm not afraid of getting tired! Pan Jialiang laughed, walked into the crowd, and looked at the past, they were all acquaintances.

"Uncle Liu is good, Uncle Zhang is good, Aunt Qin is good......" Pan Meifeng and her father can play a little temper, and they still greet their elders one by one in front of outsiders. A group of elders also nodded to her with a smile and praised her.

"Lao Pan, I counted it just now, I'm afraid there won't be forty or fifty people from the factory today. What kind of fame is this mainland boy doing, does he have so much work to share with everyone? After some politeness, the owner of a foundry shouted first.

Today, they are not here to socialize, and the main topic is to talk about the OEM business. Seeing so many competitors coming, some people felt a little unsure.

"Probably not. As I have just observed, although there are many people who come, there are only seven or eight of us who can engage in electronics. Some of the others are small hardware processing factories, two are plastic products, some are making electronic switches, some are production line rods, and some are suppliers of electronic components. I think they are in a hurry to expand their production capacity, so they called all the manufacturers who needed them together, intending to solve the problem at once. "Liu Fatzi has the keenest sense of smell and the widest range of people, he knows six or seven out of ten manufacturers inside and outside the venue, and he has heard of those he doesn't know, and knows what they do.

"Seven or eight is not a lot, right?" There are still people who are dissatisfied with the fact that there are too many people.

"It depends on how widely they are sold, I haven't seen the circuit diagram, I don't understand the complexity, I can't say right now. But I estimated that our companies together have a monthly production capacity of about 10,000 or 20,000, right? Pan Jialiang roughly estimated the production capacity of each company and speculated.

Today, none of them are big factories, but they are not family factories either, and each one has employees ranging from three to five hundred. The technical strength is not high, and there are fewer auxiliary processing equipment, mainly relying on more manual work.

For example, there are more than 400 workers in the Panjialiang factory, and the monthly production capacity is estimated to be about 3,000 large and complex circuit boards. To expand production capacity, it is necessary to add equipment or hire more workers.

"They're still preparing to expand their production capacity!" Someone pointed to the building and said to the others.

"It's not so easy to scale up." Pan Jialiang started from scratch, has thoroughly understood the technology, and knows the difficulty, "Their first factory has only been in operation for more than 20 days now." In such a short period of time, you can only get started roughly, not even a familiar hand, and it will take at least three months to half a year to reach the level of a veteran. Now they are in a hurry to expand their production capacity, and even if they fill the building by half, they will have to add more than 1,000 people. In order to bring these newcomers, they can only draw people from the old factory, and this level can be imagined. I think that at least in a year, the capacity of the new plant can be used to 50%. As for improving the yield rate, it will take more time. ”

"That means we can do business for at least half a year?"

For this result, many people are still acceptable. Everyone wants to find a long-term customer, and they will not be able to undertake the OEM business overnight, and they will have to adjust the production line and allocate workers. It's not worth the effort to do it only for a month or two, and then you have to contact new business at that time.

It's really only a month or two in business, and most of them probably turn around and leave, who is impatient to do such a thankless job.

"Let's see, let's see what kind of charter Taiyu Technology has."

With this in mind, everyone entered the venue.

The venue was apparently hastily arranged, with the walls improvised with a layer of lime and the building's load-bearing pillars unwrapped, standing alone in the hall. The seats prepared by Taiyu Technology for various manufacturers are only one table, two chairs, and a few cups of tea per family, which looks very shabby.

However, no one disliked it.

They all started from scratch, more than ten years ago, or even a few years ago, many people's initial situation was not as good as Taiyu Technology, many people were at home, with their parents, wives and brothers to do it, slowly accumulate a little family business, and then gradually start.

Who can laugh at anyone!

Relatively speaking, Taiyu Technology has only been established for less than a month, and it can rent an entire building as a factory and office headquarters, which has already made people break their glasses.

Now is the critical moment, and further opening up the sea and the sky, taking a step back, can only miss the opportunity, and every penny must be spent on the blade. Taiyu Technology has such a shabby meeting, to be honest, the vast majority of manufacturers are satisfied, which proves that the company's lofty ambitions are not only satisfied with the immediate results.

Speaking of which, we can be regarded as having reached a cooperative relationship with Taiyu Technology to a certain extent. The better Taiwoo develops in the future, the more benefits everyone can get. In this small group, Taiyu Technology is the leader that drives the common development of other enterprises.

While everyone was talking and laughing, several young people walked into the venue and walked towards the innermost rostrum. Everyone stopped talking, and looked at them with a cautious gaze.

The crowd ignored the people behind them, and their eyes focused on the man at the head.

First of all, he is very tall, such a tall person has reached the average height of ordinary people in Europe and the United States. Secondly, his figure is very well-proportioned, his limbs are slender, and the side face he sees when passing by is a very strong face, with clear contours and full of masculinity.

When he walks, his waist is straight, his neck is straight, and he looks both steady and imposing.

This is a strong man!

This is the first impression of all those who have carefully observed him.

Guan Fei walked onto the stage, did not sit down, stood facing the participating manufacturers, his eyes from left to right, and slowly scanned the audience.

His gaze was very firm, and everyone he had seen had a feeling that he seemed to have seen through him, and faintly, unconsciously, he was a little afraid.

"Thank you bosses for coming to our foundry fair, and on behalf of all my colleagues in Taiyu Technology, I would like to welcome you!"

Guan Fei's face revealed a hint of a smile, and he opened with a polite word.

"We at Taiyu Technology were established twenty-three days ago. As of today, we have developed the Space Invaders arcade game, and we have sold 382 units! ”

There was a little commotion in the venue.

With a newly established small factory, more than 300 units were sold in 20 days, and the sales reached more than 3 million, and the monthly sales were not 4 or 5 million, and 50 or 60 million a year?

Many small factories have a year's sales of less than a month!

Inexplicably, the expectations of the following manufacturers for this OEM meeting have become high, and some people with casual expressions have gradually become serious.

"Four days ago, we opened an arcade in Tokyo and put 100 Space Invaders. The turnover on that day was 4,460,000 yen (this is a historical fact, not a fiction of the author), a total of 18,500 US dollars, 100,0200 Hong Kong dollars. He reported the data in a calm voice.

Rumble!

The stadium was bustling in an instant.

You can't blame them for being so rare, it's a shocking number. An arcade hall with 100 game consoles has an operating income of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a day, which is not only shocking, but crazy!

What kind of factory do they open, they all go to run the arcade hall, and the income is three million a month, and most of them are net profits!

Guan Fei stood motionless on the stage, quietly looking down.

The sound in the arena gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes lit up, staring at his figure tightly, full of anticipation.

They know very well that Taiyu Technology has soared into the sky and cannot be contained!
