Chapter Seventy-Eight: You still have to master the core technology

Through Wang Quanlong's explanation, Chen Jin understood the reason why there was a major crisis in the supply chain of Lingfeng Precision Company.

One, the whistleblowing of domestic counterparts gave two Japanese suppliers an opportunity.

Second, the negotiators sent by Lingfeng Precision only agreed on the contract and did not sign it in time, so there was no breach of contract.

In the end, Lingfeng Precision is just a little-known foundry company, weak strength, two Japanese suppliers, not afraid of offending such customers, and even this blow to the development of the electronic foundry industry in country Z, they don't mind doing this kind of thing.

Therefore, in the face of this supply chain crisis, under normal circumstances, the two companies Xinghai Technology and Lingfeng Precision are facing about two:

1. Full refund, solemnly sorry to consumers.

2. Accept the conditions of two Japanese suppliers, grit your teeth to buy 1 million goods, plus the inventory of 500,000 left on hand, which can give an explanation to most consumers, and the remaining users who can't deliver the goods will be refunded in full, and then express your sincere apology.

The price is that it is difficult to guarantee a profit of 200 yuan for each Wow Wow robot.

And no matter what the result is, Xinghai Technology and Lingfeng Precision are unacceptable, let alone bearable.

This could well be a huge crisis that led to the closure of both companies!

But it's a pity that whether it's the evil counterparts in China or the two suppliers in Japan, they all miscalculated.

For Chen Jin, the supply chain problem is just a trivial trouble.

He has a solution!

……

Planet Helfa.

Dakeng base.

A steel plate house covering an area of more than 80 square meters.

Chen Jin held a part in each hand, and said to the artificial intelligence projection in front of him: "Alice, can the brushless motor parts on my left hand and the hydraulic moving parts of the robotic arm on my right hand be manufactured with the current technical reserves of the base?" ”

A green light was projected from the sensor.

I scanned the two parts once.

"No problem, master, these are obsolete products from more than two hundred years ago, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, the capsule factory at the base can be produced in large quantities."

Alice said she recently completed a hardware upgrade to a more advanced supercomputer, and now has 10 times her peak computing power of 100 billion operations per second.

However, the power consumption is only 300KW, which is only three times higher than before.

In addition, the amount of data stored in Alice's database system has increased from 20 petabytes to 70 petabytes...... It contains a wealth of technical information.

In short, Alice, the current artificial intelligence, is more capable than before.

Chen Jin nodded, but he was still a little uneasy: "Alice, does the quality of the parts printed by the capsule factory meet the requirements?" For example, the brushless motor in my hand has an average trouble-free service time of 20,000 hours, and its stability is so strong that there are almost no similar products like it. ”

"Master, are you doubting that the technology will not be as good as two hundred years ago?"

Alice rolled her eyes and said confidently: "Master, Alice can guarantee that under the same material structure, the brushless motor produced by our capsule factory will have a trouble-free service life of more than 30,000 hours, the maximum speed will be increased by 20%, and the stability and controllability will be better to reach the limit allowed by the material." ”

"If nanomaterials with better physical properties are used, the brushless motor produced by the capsule factory can have a life span of more than 200,000 hours, the maximum speed is doubled, and the stability and controllability are improved to another level...... If you don't believe it, Alice can start the capsule factory and produce a batch of brushless motors for testing. ”

"Okay, seeing is believing!"

Soon, using the capsule factory, Alice produced 100 brushless motors in the ordinary material version and 100 brushless motors in the nanomaterial version.

Coupled with the brushless motor brought by Chen Jin, a comparative experiment was done.

The results of the experiment naturally slapped Chen Jin's face with facts and suppressed all of Chen Jin's doubts.

His eyes lit up as he saw it.

Tough, it's too tough.

In particular, the brushless motor made of nanomaterials makes a different sound when working, crisp and pleasant, and all the parameters are all hanging Nissan brushless motors.

The performance of the ordinary material version is not bad, the maximum speed is significantly increased, and the stability and controllability are comparable...... It can be used as a replacement for Nissan brushless motors.

As for the moving part of the robotic arm, a cylindrical hydraulic, the capsule factory can also print a better alternative.

Chen Jin finally put his mind at ease.

The supply chain crisis of Lingfeng Precision Company has been solved, and 1.5 million brushless motors and 1.5 million pairs of robotic arm moving parts can be temporarily provided by the Dakeng base to avoid affecting the supply of Wow Wow robots.

A brushless motor is no bigger than a table tennis ball, and a single robotic arm moving part is slightly smaller than a table tennis ball.

A large sack can hold at least four or five thousand pieces!

As long as Chen Jin drives twice a day, or asks Lingfeng Precision Company to send someone to pick up the goods in Shanghai City, more than 50,000 parts per day can be provided.

Suddenly!

Chen Jin's eyes lit up again.

"I remember Su Youjie told me before that the imported Nissan brushless motor is very expensive, 315 yuan a piece; The price of imported Nissan robotic arm moving parts is more expensive, a pair costs 364 yuan...... Wang Quanlong also said that core components such as imported brushless motors and mechanical moving parts, even if you place an order of 10 million, it will not be much cheaper, because there are no substitute products. ”

"So...... The sum of the two three hundred is more than 600, accounting for 30% of the overall hardware cost. ”

"It's 50 more than the 550 yuan I can earn with a wow robot!"

"As for the production cost of the two parts, I don't know if it needs 50?"

"At a cost of fifty, just these two small imported parts, the profit I make is more than if I sell a whole Wow Robot?"

Chen Jin smiled wryly: "It turns out that the profit of making core parts is higher than making the whole machine!" ”

This can also be understood, why Japan's home appliance industry will be in full decline, but the market monopoly of Japanese companies to do core parts is so strong? The reason is that the whole machine does not make money, and the core parts can obtain excess profits.

To do a business that is as difficult as eating to make 1 yuan, and to do a business that makes 10 yuan lying down, smart people know how to choose...... Of course, the bar for the latter is high.

So, Chen Jin found a way to earn more than 800 yuan per Wow Wow robot!

"In the future, I will supply brushless motors through my own channels, and I will also find a way to produce the moving parts of the robotic arm by myself, be self-sufficient, and sell them for my own use!"

"Assuming that the cost of these two parts is 50 yuan, the 550 yuan saved is my increased profit!"

As a result, the net profit of a single Wow Wow robot has doubled!

With just 10 million Wow Robots sold, Chen Jin can become a billionaire.

He couldn't help but sigh and said: "If you want to make money, you still have to master the core technology!" ”

……

Return to the bedroom on the other side of the earth.

Picking up his mobile phone, Chen Jin called Wang Quanlong.

"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I contacted two new suppliers, who can provide qualified brushless motors and robotic arm moving parts at a lower price...... The supply chain problem has been solved for you by my side. ”

"What?"

Wang Quanlong's eyes bulged out, and he looked incredulous: "How is this possible?" Mr. Chen, you're not kidding me, are you? I was so anxious that I was about to jump off the building, and you told me that the problem was solved, and it was only a few hours? Mr. Chen, what you are looking for will not be a domestic supplier that produces inferior parts, right? ”

He asked a bunch of questions.

"Don't ask so much, you come to Shanghai tomorrow, and I'll show you the parts I bought. In addition, I have two projects in hand and want to work with you, I wonder if you are interested? ”

"Good! I'll ...... tomorrow No, I'm going to go to Shanghai right now! Mr. Chen, we'll see you later! ”

"Okay, I'll see you later!"
