Chapter 117: Returning to Hometown

It turned out that he had dug such a pit waiting for him, no wonder Duke felt a little strange.

Wang Guosheng's plan really kills two birds with one stone, on the one hand, to solve the rationality of bringing the code back to China, and on the other hand, to find a strong support for some troubled enterprises in China. I have to say that Wang Guosheng's calculation is still good, from the fact that Duke and they will employ thousands of people in a few months, this kind of pollution-free high-tech factory that can solve the problem of a large labor force is indeed more urgently needed in China.

Although there is a labor shortage everywhere, in fact, everyone knows that this is just because the wages of migrant workers have been reduced to a level that can not be lowered, basically making everyone unable to make a living, who can still do it, if you want to find workers just for a little food money, the era should have ended a long time ago, and now is the time to return to reasonable labor prices.

According to the situation of the Duke factory, the total cost of raising a worker in California is 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars a year, and if it is hired as a temporary worker, the cost will increase by more than 20 percent.

For workers of the same level, in Chinese mainland, under normal circumstances, 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year is considered a more reasonable price, which can basically satisfy most workers, and factories with technological content like Duke can also benefit a lot. 5. 60,000 yuan is more than 6 times different from 5 or 60,000 US dollars.

Judging from the production costs of a single piece of Duke brainwave products, such as artificial water and electricity, the production in the California factory is about 30 US dollars, and if it goes to China, it can be reduced to at least 15 US dollars with the wages of domestic workers and the factory rental price.

This huge difference in cost, Duke was not unexpected, but he knew the current situation in China, if there is no strong relationship, there are too many elbows, the cycle of building factories in the mainland is too long, and there are too many pickups.

Not to mention that there is no effective person to manage in China, but now with Wang Guosheng's hint, presumably the relevant departments will have some arrangements, maybe cooperate with a certain enterprise or research institute, although there is a use of Duke to achieve the purpose of the transformation of some old and difficult companies in China, but this matter is operated properly, and the benefits obtained by Duke are also very huge.

Because in this way, the ready-made plant and workers can be owned immediately, and the product process requirements designed by Clement are not too high, basically ordinary workers can be employed after simple training, so Duke can basically spend a small amount of money to form a huge production capacity, in one fell swoop to make up for the current lack of production capacity.

If the domestic brainwave product market can be opened, it will be better, the development of the enterprise will be more rapid, and the cash flow will continue to come, which will directly shorten the growth time of MI company. This is the biggest advantage of cooperating with relevant departments to do business, low risk and high return, of course, the premise is to have a strong relationship.

This is completely different from coming back to start from scratch on his own.

It's just that in terms of management, Duke feels that he must be in control of his own hands to rest assured, and the style of some people in the system is too painful. Now for him, the biggest headache is how to find some qualified managers for this new company.

"Well, now that you're all ready," Duke said helplessly. "What else do I have to say, I'll discuss it with a few directors of the company to see who to take back to run. However, I want to make it clear that whether this joint venture or cooperation is a joint venture, we must have the final say in the middle, that is to say, MI is the controlling party. ”

This principle must be adhered to, otherwise even the best things will be consumed internally.

"No problem at all, you've done us a great favor," Wang Guosheng said with heartfelt gratitude. "Regarding the contact after returning to China, we will send someone to contact you. In the matter of investing and setting up factories in China, we will also greet you through relevant departments and recommend some suitable partners for you, which will definitely not make your company suffer. ”

"In addition, in New York, if there is something important to discuss, it is more reassuring to come here to talk," Wang Guosheng said meaningfully at the end.

He believed that Duke would understand. Although this is somewhat against organizational discipline. But Duke has always done the things that the state has explained to the letter, and a little exposure of a peripheral site like this can lay a better foundation for future work.

Originally, this is also a very peripheral place for the relevant departments, but because the place is renovated by their own people, they will not worry about problems such as eavesdropping, which is also the reason why Wang Guosheng brought Duke here to talk about things today, and it is not as safe as here in the company.

And this Boss Zhu is indeed a real chef, and he doesn't know anything about these things, and his identity is as clean as a blank piece of paper, just a person who came to the United States to pan for gold.

To put it bluntly, the relevant departments are just for a place where you can talk about things safely, so everything here is no different. It's just a relatively "clean" place.

"However, this is just a place to talk about things, if you talk or anything, you don't need to deal with the people here, try to choose the company's own people to contact, even if the company's people can't be contacted, you can also directly contact Qin Tairan and Chu Feng through the embassy. It's a place to eat. Wang Guosheng finally emphasized.

Fortunately, Duke really didn't have any secret things that needed to be used in such a high-level secrecy place, so it was over after hearing this.

Back in Boston, Duke communicated the situation with Shu Ya, although Duke said the source code very vaguely, Shu Ya still understood that Duke returned to China this time to shoulder the heavy responsibility, and could let his beloved man contribute to the motherland's aerospace industry, although Shu Ya was a little reluctant to Duke's departure, but still very supportive of Duke's action.

As for saying that returning to China to open a factory can get a lot of discounts, including when it may be easy to get factories and workers, the genius girl's eyes lit up, this career girl has been struggling to study how to expand production capacity with low risk, and then expand in the United States according to the current idea, the construction cost is just that, everywhere is about the same, but the labor cost is really high, and now the price of the product is high, which can be supported.

However, if the product begins to be subdivided in the future, it is necessary to launch some low-priced products, and this labor price will be unbearable. According to the current plan, once you enter the current online game market, the customization of brainwave telekinesis control for the current game will inevitably produce great changes.

First of all, the price of the brainwave helmet, although $299 is not too big a number, but for a game, it is still too high, and in order to promote millions of millions in the existing game market, this price must be significantly reduced.

According to a survey conducted by Suzanne some time ago, the acceptance of the equipment kit connected to the existing game with a price of more than $150 is very low, with most players accepting less than $99, players between $99 and $150 are about more than 3 percent, and less than 10 percent are above $150.

Of course, there are almost 20% of players who want to see how many games they play can be accessed by this brainwave product to decide the price they accept, and the more games they access, the more likely they are to be able to accept a higher price.

Therefore, being able to expand production capacity at a low cost is the most important thing for Shuya at present.

Compared with the United States, the domestic labor wages are of course much cheaper, this Shu Ya herself can fully understand, but in terms of production management and quality control, Shu Ya has no bottom in her heart like Duke, but take a step by step, although there are perfect things in the world, but there are very few, and you can get factories and recruit workers at low cost, which has solved most of the problems.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Shu Ya, several shareholders of the company held a meeting to discuss this matter, and everyone agreed with the decision to open a factory in China. Especially Susanna, she has long been looking forward to traveling to China, this time she strongly asked to accompany Duke back to China, she is now in the stage of writing a thesis, the topic and materials of the paper have long been prepared, that is, the beautiful WEB2.0 marketing practice case of MI company as the theme, so it doesn't matter where you write it.

However, this time it was to inspect the opening of a factory, not to engage in any marketing, so Susanna's proposal was ruthlessly rejected by everyone, and Shu Ya, who has always had a strong defensive psychology against Susanna, even arranged a new job for Susanna, that is, to negotiate with major game operators and developers in the United States to promote brainwave telekinesis control game customization.

This customization is not only to negotiate technical cooperation with the game to promote the sales of the brainwave telekinesis helmet, but also to talk about the division of the access part of the brainwave telepathic helmet. If this idea can be recognized by game companies, this is a big cash cow that MI can expect in the future.

Compared with the one-time income from the sale of brainwave telekinetic helmets, this share is almost a long-term income for MI once and for all. However, as you can imagine, it will not be easy to accomplish this goal. So Suzanne's trip to China can only be ruined for the time being.

Clement, the vice president of production, is the best choice for Duke this trip, and the factory in the United States has now entered the stage of stable production, with strict system guarantees, and Clement's departure for a period of time will not have much impact on production.

And so it was settled. Two days later, Duke and Clement flew to Rongcheng.

As soon as I got off the plane and arrived at the exit of the airport, Duke was full of fatigue and found a huge banner, "Warmly welcome Dr. Duke and Vice President Clement to Chengdu for investment inspection."
