Chapter 93 The appearance of the product has three beauties

"Oda Jiro, Li Zongsheng, we are not interested in the proposal of your two companies at all, and as for the remaining 290 million, our company is fully capable of paying it off by itself.

Mr. Angelo, this is a cashier's check from Tai Fung Bank of Macau, please check! ”

After a month of running around, Yao Fei was exhausted, and he had to do everything he could think of to raise money, first reaching an agreement with Xerox to exchange 5% of the sales dividend of inkjet printers for $70 million at one time, and the exclusive agency of floppy disk drives in the Americas was also exchanged for $45 million.

Coupled with the help of Smith and Bernstein, he got a total loan equivalent to $145 million from Citibank Zurich and Aquashen Group, but the interest rate was slightly higher, 11% a year, which is really unaffordable for ordinary industrial companies.

After finalizing these two big heads, the remaining 53 million US dollars and the funds for laying a wireless pager network have become a headache for Yao Fei.

The attitude of the local banks in Hong Kong has been very clear, and their old relationships have been run, and they are indeed more powerful.

After thinking about it, Yao Fei decided to take a false shot and go to Macau, a neighbor of Hong Kong, to raise funds, the 70s and 80s, which was the golden age of the development of Macau's manufacturing industry, and the labor-intensive manufacturing industry developed vigorously, with the primary position in Macau's economic structure.

The result is beautiful, Yao Fei raised the remaining funds, and at the same time solved the problem of laying the network, but the process was tortuous, because for the 53 million US dollars, Yao Fei and the toy king Cai Zhiming, the gambling king Stanley Ho reached a tripartite agreement, within three years, the Rising Sun Toy Factory obtained the agency production rights of 1 million CITIC communication wireless pagers, and all the pager products produced need to sign an underwriting agreement.

In addition, the signal transmitter equipment required for the construction of the wireless pager network will also be guided by the technical personnel of CITIC Communications to the technical personnel of the Rising Sun Toy Factory, and help them upgrade the technical equipment until the other party can produce independently, and the technical patents involved in it will also be authorized by CITIC Communications free of charge.

As for the gambling king Stanley Ho, CITIC Communications wants to help him lay out a wireless paging network in Macau, and at the same price, his communication company has the right of first refusal to buy CITIC Communications' products.

Seeing this scene, Oda Jiro and Li Zongsheng knew that their plan had failed, and judging from the meaning of Yao Fei's words, it was obvious that the other party had no intention of licensing the patent.

Next, the capital verification of Japan Electric Company and Singapore Telecom Group is much faster, and everyone is a bank cashier's check with a denomination of 10 million denominations, which is high-end and high-grade.

"Your name is Huang Jinpu? As far as I know, you are responsible for the design of our pager products? ”

After getting the telecommunications license, Yao Fei led the people back to the branch, and then began to prepare for the arrangement.

"Yes, boss, please let me know if you are dissatisfied with the other party, and I will revise the ...... as soon as I go back"

Although it seems that he is the same age as Yao Fei, how dare Huang Jinpu be as active as usual at this time, he is completely like a student who has done something wrong.

"There's nothing to dislike, the pager is very well designed, and the limited edition is made with silver plating and gilding.

I wonder what do you think about the next mass-produced CITIC M1 model? ”

Everyone has a love for beauty, and the aesthetics in everyone's heart are different, so in order to meet the needs of consumers as much as possible, a variety of product appearance design is essential, since this aspect is responsible for the other party, Yao Fei of course wants to hear his views.

"Boss, for the positioning of our company's pager products, I think this is not only a symbol of the user's identity, but also a choice to show personal personality.

In order to meet this requirement, our pager shape design team intends to further improve the 'three beauties' on the basis of the existing design, namely the beauty of form, color and craftsmanship.

In terms of morphological beauty, from the perspective of human physiology, the human eye is more accustomed to accepting simple vertical planes, horizontal planes and streamlined curved surface contours, we will focus on this line of factors, so that our pager form looks very comfortable to consumers at a glance.

The color of the pager, we will not only design a simple and clear solid color model, but also increase the product shape design concept of a combination of multiple colors, and even we have a bold idea, that is, to print some artistic pictures, so as to enrich our products.

In addition, there is a manufacturing process, we have carefully analyzed the manufacturing process of Panasonic and Motorola and some other pager product shells, they are basically polycarbonate engineering plastics, for our pager shells, we plan to use high-strength aluminum alloy materials, although to a certain extent may reduce the signal reception strength of the pager, but as long as we make some structural adjustments or strengthen the strength of the signal receiver, we can cover up the shortcomings in this regard.

And compared with the polycarbonate shell, the impact resistance is better, the metal shell makes people look very comfortable, beautiful and textured, and is conducive to heat dissipation, which can increase the stability of the pager and improve the service life of the product, but the only drawback is that the manufacturing cost is relatively high......"

Joining the Hong Kong branch of Feiyue Technology, Huang Jinpu's talent in modeling design was fully brought into play, and he accumulated enough experience when he opened a store with Gong Xing before, which immediately made him feel like a fish in water.

"Aluminum alloy metal shell, very good design ideas, thinking innovation is very important for your product appearance design, but you ignore one point, that is, the all-metal shell is easy to conduct, and once it falls, or rubs for a long time, it is easy to scratch and deform and paint off, and at the same time, it also increases the weight of the pager as a whole.

Therefore, in the selection of shell manufacturing materials, I recommend choosing a plastic alloy between engineering plastics and high-strength aluminum alloys, and combining the advantages of both! ”

Although the fruit machine of later generations looks ultra-thin and cool and has a sense of generation, but the problems that are easy to scratch, easy to lose paint, easy to deform and other criticized problems have not been effectively solved, but it has greatly given birth to the mobile phone shell industry, even if Yao Fei is not a material expert, but he also wants to get these minimum cognitions, of course he does not want such a problem to appear in his company's products.

Well, there is another important point for Yao Fei, that is, the cost, the manufacturing cost of the all-metal shell can be several times higher than the manufacturing cost of polycarbonate engineering plastics.

After paying the deposit, although he got the telecommunications license, he now owes a lot of debt, and the interest alone is nearly 100,000 US dollars a day......

However, it is undeniable that the all-metal shell is a very good idea, especially now that there is this concept, then we must accumulate this creativity, even if we can't do it now, we will do it again in the future!
