Chapter 524 . Outright

Huang Wenbin has never been to the United States, either in this life or in the last. With his current net worth, he can go if he wants, and even if he emigrates, there is no difficulty. Of course, Huang Wenbin will never emigrate, the United States taxes are too strong, and the native-born rich have to take all kinds of means to avoid taxes. Outsiders like Huang Wenbin ran over, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so it was strange that they were not eaten and stripped clean. You must know that the United States does not matter where you make money, as long as you are an American, you have to pay taxes to the US government.

Smith Toys is an American company, and the bidding is naturally in the United States. However, this time it was Daifuku Toy Factory that participated in the bidding, and it had nothing to do with Huang Wenbin on the surface, so Huang Wenbin was not easy to follow. In fact, he really wanted to go to the United States to have a look, but this time it didn't work, so he could only let Feng Aoshuang lead the team.

Late at night, Huang Wenbin sat in the chair of the office and took out three boxes and put them on the desk. The three are all clown dolls, one was made by the Daifuku Toy Factory before, one was sold in the United States, and the last one was made by Feng Aoshuang this time.

The dolls at Daifuku Toy Factory are wooden boxes, and the other two are plastic boxes. At first glance, Feng Aoshuang's version is the first to be heard from the box, the plastic used is deep and heavy, and there is a metallic luster, which is very high-end at first glance. Unpacking the package, the comparison of the three clown dolls makes Feng Aoshuang's version even more beautiful, and the clothes made of silk alone have already compared the other two far below.

"It's not just about looking good, you have to look at the action." Smith interjected and said, of course this guy didn't go to the United States, it was easy for him to go, but it was difficult to come back, "The clown dolls in our company have never been the most delicate and beautiful, and the reason why they are popular is because they can do a lot of movements, have a good balance, and can stand up whatever they do." ”

As he spoke, Smith picked up the American retail version, swung his hands back and his feet forward, made a gymnastics giant loop pose, and put it on the table, and sure enough, it froze. He picked up the clown doll again, pulled off his toes, raised his hands up, and turned into a ballerina, and still stood on his feet. Then there is standing on one foot, kneeling on one knee, boxing, kung fu, plus accessories, and being able to ride a bicycle and step on a round ball.

"See no, being able to do actions at will is the essence of the clown doll, it looks like a simple doll, in fact, the technology content is very high, there is no part, all carefully designed, shape, size, material, weight, a little wrong will be what is a millimeter, that what is a thousand miles." Smith said.

"The difference is a thousand miles." Huang Wenbin said. This American's Chinese is really good, and he even knows such idioms. Speaking of which, Smith is really a language wizard, his native language is English, which goes without saying, the first foreign language is actually Japanese, the second foreign language is Korean, and the third foreign language is the turn of Chinese, and he can communicate without barriers. It is not easy to be able to achieve high-level.

"The slightest difference is a thousand miles wrong." Smith picked up the old version produced by Daifuku Toy Factory and made a ballet pose exactly the same as just now, but as soon as he put it on the table, it fell down with a snap, Smith picked it up and changed it to several angles, only one angle could stand firmly, and the other angles could not stand, "The size of the parts is a little wrong, and there will be such a problem." ”

"And how did you do it this time?" Huang Wenbin picked up Feng Aoshuang's version of the clown doll, twisted out the same posture, put it on the table, and stood steadily, without shaking for a moment, "Isn't it good." Feng Aoshuang was happy to save his own business at that time, but he put an unknown amount of effort into researching clown dolls, and the things he made would certainly not have any flaws.

"That's right, of course it's okay with ordinary postures, Miss Feng has a deep study of clown dolls." "If it weren't for the Koreans, she would have won the bid this time," Smith said. But there are Koreans, they have just innovated the process, and our machine is old, not as good as theirs. ”

"So what?" Huang Wenbin said.

"How?" Smith said, "Do you know how many moving parts a clown doll has? ”

"Twenty-four." Huang Wenbin knows very well.

"That's right, twenty-four, arguably the most of the toys on the market." Smith took off the clown doll's clothes with a brush, revealing the various parts inside, "the neck, mouth, ears, fingers, arms, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, you can all move." It is necessary to control the error of the parts within a very small range, so that each clown doll can make various actions, such as this. ”

He put Feng Aoshuang's version of the clown doll with his palms flat, his hands held high, his legs together, and then stood upside down, and this little scandal stood up. Then Smith gently broke one of the clown's feet to the side, and when it was more than thirty degrees, the clown doll snapped and fell to the ground.

"The design only requires a 25-degree angle." Huang Wenbin said.

"That's right, the craftsmanship in Eastern Europe is rough, so it can only guarantee 25 degrees." "Actually, when you design it, you should not fall until 45 degrees." However, there will be errors in each part, and the errors will accumulate in these hundreds of parts, so the design requirements cannot be met. ”

"But the Koreans have innovated the process so that they can make even fewer errors." Huang Wenbin said.

"That's right, I thought their new production line couldn't be put into production in time, who knew that they would catch up, and I didn't know how to do it, it must have been working day and night to debug. Now that the young people of Japan have been abolished, the young people of Korea have inherited the Japanese spirit, which is really remarkable. Smith lamented, "The production equipment of the Daifuku Toy Factory is two generations behind, and the accuracy cannot be compared." Ours can only open 35 degrees, and theirs can reach 42 degrees, which is already approaching the limit of design. ”

In other words, the difference between the two generations is that these seven degrees are really a great advantage. Looking at Huang Wenbin's disapproving eyes, Smith's tone couldn't help but raise a lot, "This is a great advantage!" It is related to how much Cheng dΓΉ can simulate human movements, and the higher the Cheng dΓΉ, the more tricks can be played. ”

"Actually, it's good when you advertise." Huang Wenbin said, "Children don't actually pay attention to such a small difference. "The more precision you have, the more tricks you can make in your ads, and the more entice customers will be to buy. Huang Wenbin once watched the advertisements they filmed, in which the clown dolls are almost omnipotent, cooking, herding cattle, taking care of children, fighting terrorists, deducting those episodes, what is shown is actually the pose that the clown doll can pose.

"In the toy industry, advertising is the top priority!" Smith couldn't help but raise his voice, "If you can shoot better ads, of course, you can get higher sales!" ”

"Even so, the Koreans will lose." Huang Wenbin said, "Their dolls have a big weakness. ”

"Weakness? What weaknesses? Smith asked, surprised.

In many people's concepts, OEM is to look at other people's design drawings to make things, as long as the design drawings are the same, the things made are the same, there will be no difference. In fact, the process used by different foundries is different, the level of workers is different, the machines used are different, and the raw materials used are also different, so the things made will be completely different. Even if it is the same factory, the assembly line is different, and the products made have various personalities.

Many people find that each batch of Apple mobile phones is different, some are flawless, some batches are easy to yin and yang screens, some batches are stuck, some batches are not stuck, but they are easy to crash, and some are okay no matter how they fall, comparable to the legendary Nokia, and some are easy to get into the water. The reason for this is that these batches of apples are produced by different workshops - although they are all Foxconn, although they are all the same machine and the same raw materials, but the workers are different, the wear and tear of the machine is different, and the factory buildings are different, and the mobile phones made are a little different.

The clown doll is the same, and this is still a trial production sample, Smith Toys allows more free play, the production equipment and production process of several manufacturers are very different, and the finished product is of course completely different. This is a competitive bidding, and whoever makes the sample will look like it must be strictly confidential, and if it is known to go out of the targeted facility, it will be difficult to win.

Smith knows the final products of other factories very well, but the Korean toy factory actually opened a new production line, which even Smith didn't expect, or just received the news from the original subordinate of Smith Toy Company, why does Huang Wenbin look confident?

Could it be that he has already seen the factories of the Koreans? Those Koreans can't be so bad at secrecy, right? Even if he knew, what could Huang Wenbin do? The gap in the production line is not so easy to bridge, and the Koreans spent tens of millions of dollars to upgrade the production line, and spent an unknown amount of effort to debug before the deadline to make samples.

Smith stays at Daifuku Toy Factory every day, and it's safe to say that they definitely didn't use the new production line, so how can they win? Could it be that a new production line was secretly built somewhere else? It's completely impossible to calculate the time. Or is there something wrong with the Korean production line and what unexpected weaknesses have been created? Even if there is, how does Huang Wenbin know?

"You're lying to me, aren't you?" The more Smith thought about it, the more he thought that was what it was.

"What did I lie to you?" Huang Wenbin said, "Now the bidding results should come out, you can just look at it." ”

Dididi, Smith's phone rang a few times, and it was a message that had arrived. Smith hurriedly opened it, there were several pieces of information, all of which said the same thing, and the bidding results came out - he had been the CEO of Smith Toys for so many years, and naturally there were many cronies under him, and after he was fired, there were also many sources of information. Ask these people to ventilate in advance, or do other risky things, others may not pay attention to him, but after the results come out, notify him as soon as possible, and it is nothing for people to give him a favor, anyway, these results will be announced on the website after a while.

Sure enough, Daifuku Toy Factory won, Smith looked at Huang Wenbin in surprise, how did he do it?
