Chapter 427: Recommendations
"One more point, let the author have a slightly more Western pen name!" One of them suggested.
"This suggestion is very good, if it is too oriental, some people will have an inexplicable sense of resistance!"
"This is normal, literati are like this, look down on each other, and then look for each other's weaknesses that each other can attack, if this animated movie is a bestseller, there will definitely be some Western literati who will come out and jump on their feet and look for trouble!"
"It's not just Western literati, but also Western film companies, and even other related industries."
"It's Hollywood, the film market every Christmas is basically Hollywood's home field, if we can occupy a part of the market, I believe Hollywood will slander us from all aspects!"
"This suggestion can be formally submitted to Sihai Company, as long as it can make money, I believe they are very willing to change."
"The other is shipbuilding, the first ocean-going freighter of Dalyan Shipyard will be launched soon, after the test, if everything is qualified, I think we will help Dalyan Shipyard produce more and larger ships as soon as possible, which can reduce our input costs."
"The cost of simple shipbuilding is already 20 percent lower, and if we take into account the raw materials and technology we provide, the entire cost can be reduced to 30 percent."
The simple point of this dealer is that other shipyards will not necessarily purchase the shipbuilding raw materials and technology upgrade equipment provided by their own side.
However, on the Dalyan shipyard side, it has to use raw materials, various equipment and even technologies provided by dealers.
In this way, the cost will be compressed, after all, raw materials and equipment technology are profitable.
And there are upstream resource industries in which dealers are investing.
"I suggest vigorously supporting their shipbuilding industry, which can make our upstream and downstream industrial chain healthier, lower cost, and more resilient to risks."
"Anyway, our company can't do it, rather than giving it to others, it's better for us to do it."
"Yes, the upstream of shipbuilding involves a large number of bulk materials such as steel, which is very helpful for the development of our mines, and other shipyards will not necessarily purchase our materials."
The cost of a ship can be reduced by 20 percent, which is a fatal attraction for any shipping company, because this 20 percent requires the shipping company to run for a long time to earn.
"The other is automobile production equipment, this part of us try to purchase second-hand equipment from all over the world to expand the production scale in the mainland!"
"It is also necessary to increase the inventory of Red Fox cars, and now in a month, the number of global reservations has reached 500,000, which is still the highest number of reservations we have made 500,000."
"That is to say, the orders we have in hand now, if you count the number of reservation numbers reaching 700,000, they don't have so much output in a year!"
"There are two new cars next year, no, three! I really don't know how their designers have so many designs! ”
"Maybe it's the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, and they're in a state of explosive growth right now."
"Bullshit, genius is genius, others don't know, we don't know who designed it!"
"The so-called artists on our side have embarked on a different path, and that is their works, which only they can understand, and outsiders cannot understand."
"I guess they should have drunk too much, and they can't understand it when they wake up, of course, it may be that they are smoking, just because they can't understand it themselves, and we can't understand it, so naturally there is no way to find out his weaknesses and criticize them!"
"We can design the upgraded version of the dog car to be a little more luxurious, so that we can produce it here on Hong Kong Island, and we can also set up some production plants in other countries around the world."
"Gentlemen, I would like to warn you, don't meddle in any specific manufacturing plant, just look at the factory owners in Europe now, how ridiculous it is that those idiot politicians just know how to please the people, and don't care about the bills they vote on by a show of hands."
"Haha, now I think these politicians are too cute, in the future, as long as we want to bring down a certain industry, we can propose a wage increase." Some dealers laughed when they heard this.
"They kidnapped the people to target us nobles in the first place!"
"Now we also speak for the people, what's wrong with the free society saying something."
"Let's not meddle in specific manufacturing, we are just a channel business, a money-making middleman, so that the upstream and downstream losses have little to do with us, at most we make less money." Dealers are unanimous in this regard.
Dealers meet on the island side of Hong Kong, form their own minutes, and send them to the London headquarters.
The headquarters quickly made some instructions based on the minutes of the meeting on the Hong Kong Island side.
First of all, it was agreed to promote the Autobot animated film, and 5 million pounds of publicity funds were invested, and the whole project was put into operation.
As for toys, two million pounds have also been purchased for the time being.
Two million pounds of toys, this is a bit out of the imagination of the mainland, although the front dealer is ready to buy 10 million pounds of goods, the country does not care much, after all, an animated movie, 10 million is the dealer said, maybe a year, two years to sell so much, it is a verbal agreement, now two million pounds is a real order.
"Isn't this two million pound toy a bit much?" Sun Aiguo reported the news to Liu Hai here, and asked with some suspicion.
Bangs don't know what to say, which is a Transformer, but when I think of the concept of people in the mainland, I am relieved, after all, the mainland has also made cartoons and the like, but I don't want to sell any peripherals or the like.
After all, this idea is too advanced, and in the eyes of people in China now, it is not just a piece of plastic, what can be fun.
"Dealers are willing to give money, so we can just produce." Liu Hai heard Sun Aiguo's words and asked suspiciously.
"The main thing is that we don't have any preparations in China, we have prepared 500,000 pounds of goods in front, and now we suddenly want so much, and all plans have to change, and the superiors want to ask your opinion, after all, it is not easy to change the plan once, why not prepare more plans?"
"The main reason is that there is a shortage of domestic plastic materials, and the amount of materials is very large, and if the materials are allocated too much, they will not be used up in the end, and it will also cause a lot of waste."
"It's also about the import and export plan, which is not a small amount after all." Sun Aiguo opened his mouth to explain.
Liu Hai also knows that he often ignores this problem, that is, it is now a planned economy, everything has to be planned, and now there are more plans, and upstream factories must also expand production capacity or something.
Expanding production capacity requires machines, equipment, and workers, and if there is more production capacity, machine workers are idle, but you can't dismiss workers when you don't live like when you cross by yourself.
"I think we should prepare more production capacity, after all, Europe and the United States are so developed." Bangs can only be euphemistically proposed.
"That's good." Sun Aiguo knows the attitude of the bangs, in fact, this matter is more controversial on the side of the superiors, mainly because plastics are now in short supply, and they are needed in various industries.
The main thing is that the superiors haven't experienced this incident, the key is that the animated movies haven't been played yet, I don't know what the specific situation is, let alone the toys in the movie?
I can't pay attention to it, but the superiors of other people's opinions are not sure, so I sent Sun Aiguo to ask Liu Hai, Comrade Liu Hai grasped the aesthetic points of Europeans and Americans, this is beyond doubt.
And there are deeper things, other things can listen to the advice of other experts, but this kind of big thing, ordinary experts do not dare to suggest, and superiors do not dare to adopt, but Comrade Liu Hai is different, this is authority.
"There are also big dog carts on Hong Kong Island that require a little more luxurious design, and when the mainland mainly produces power equipment, the rest are assembled on Hong Kong Island, and even assembled in some Western countries, and our production capacity is not enough." Sun Aiguo spoke again.
Hearing this, Liu Hai nodded: "I remember." ”
"Speaking of which, or their dealers are too impatient, directly hit the price to the lowest, and then the auto industry is broken, they have no way to find a foundry now, the cost is too high, and the key is that dealers do not interfere in production, they just need to buy and sell." Sun Aiguo opened his mouth and said again.
When Liu Hai heard this, he said: "This is a good thing, if the price increases little by little, this effect cannot be achieved, and the dealer will make a lot of money even if the car is sold at the cost price, after-sales, upstream mines, raw materials, and freight." ”
"Speaking of freight, the 10,000-ton freighter at the Dalyan shipyard is about to be launched." Sun Aiguo spoke again.
"So fast." Bangs asked in surprise.
"It's not fast, the Yuejin is said to take 58 days from design to manufacturing, not to mention that this kind of ship is just an ordinary cargo ship in the eyes of the British design team, and the engine is made by us, if this time after their acceptance, the Hong Kong Island dealer is ready to let Dalyan Shipbuilding continue to produce larger cargo ships, bulk carriers, and even oil tankers, and our side will reduce the purchase cost by 20% compared to other places." Sun Aiguo explained.
Liu Hai nodded, and counted it for a while, after all, the raw materials and designs are provided by dealers, and it is impossible to purchase all the raw materials in other shipyards, but you can purchase them all in China.
"I'd suggest that the materials be prepared for a 10 million pound shipment." Bangs last bold advice.
"Okay." Sun Aiguo actually feels that it is not a big deal for this 10 million pounds, and Comrade Liu Hai has designed it alone for so many years.
"You also have to change a pen name, and the dealer said that if you use your original name, it may make the people resist it from the heart." Sun Aiguo looked at bangs when he said this.
When Liu Hai heard this, there was nothing strange about it, discrimination was always there, and people in the city still discriminated against people in the countryside, not to mention that now the East is a backward and closed country in the eyes of most people in Europe and the United States, and some don't even know it.
"Let my superiors help me change this." Bangs don't know how to choose their own names, maybe something will come out.
"That's good." Sun Aiguo heard that Liu Hai had no opinion, and he was relieved.
"Xiao Liu, in fact, I think this name change is a bit aggrieved." Sun Aiguo thought of changing his name, and he was a little upset for Liu Hai.
Liu Hai shook his head and said: "Factory director, what is this, can contribute to the country, what's wrong with changing the name, in the past, our comrades used to use pseudonyms for the country." ”
"Alas, I've wronged you."
"Thank you, Director." Liu Hai replied with a smile, in fact, there was nothing aggrieved in his heart, I can't wait to underestimate Lao Mei and Big Brother's intelligence officers at this time.
"Director, is there any more information about Lao Mei's moon landing, recently I am thinking of a science fiction animated movie, and I need some materials." Bangs took the opportunity to make a small request of his own.
"Absolutely."
Bangs's sci-fi animated movie must be written on the moon, writing about alien spaceships, alien ruins and the like, interspersed with some things that I already know later, and expressing them paradoxically, as for saying that someone is serious and desperately wants to probe, this is none of my business.
Anyway, I don't plan to go abroad, and there are those planes in the back, sci-fi warships, what littoral combat ships, what F111, it just so happens that the torpedo boat I designed this time is that angular design, vertical take-off and landing or something, of course, these warships are electromagnetic guns, laser weapons, etc.
The two superpowers saw it, and they must have thought it was reasonable, and then invested money to start the Star Wars program in advance, hehe!
Sun Aiguo reported it here, not to mention that if the materials, labor, and equipment in the later stage cannot be used, it is the same for changing molds to produce other plastic products.
After Liu Hai's suggestion was sent, the superior began to prepare materials according to the 10 million goods, mainly molds, the toy factory does not need much culture, mainly the workers who operate the equipment, this is also relatively simple.
Then there is the trimming of the toy, and some corners of the toy from the mold need to be repaired, so there is no need for a literate person.
Now the domestic mold production capacity has been very large, after all, so many equipment are exported a year, a lot of metal is used in the early stage, and then after the plastic production capacity comes up, most of them use plastic.
Bangs have been busy recently, the reason why they are so busy is because there are still a lot of things behind the bangs, it can be said that none of the things on the aircraft carrier have been taken out yet, a lot of good things, from individual equipment, equipment on the aircraft carrier, are all classics, of course, except for the rags of the osprey, Liu Hai can't look down on it.
Anyway, there is a big copy of military weapons in the world, and the design idea of F35B is still copied from Lao Maozi, but Lao Maozi is an aircraft engine in the middle of the plane, Lao Mei uses a big fan, and as for the rotating nozzle at the tail, it is actually Lao Maozi's technology.
"Jack!" In London, a mother in a coat and hat pushed open the door of a home appliance store, first smiled and nodded to the clerk, and then shouted as she watched a group of children sitting in one place.
"Jack's car shop at the corner of the street." A child replied.
"John, your mom told you to go back to your homework." The mother heard the voice, dropped a word loudly and left.
John looked at the time, and at this time, the store manager also spoke: "Guys, go home, come back tomorrow." ”
"Uncle Brown, is this cartoon playing for Christmas?" A little boy asked.
"Yes, Christmas." Brown is the manager of this store and nods.
"Are you sure the movie ticket is a pound?" A little boy asked.
"Yes, I'm sure." Brown nodded.
"It's a bit expensive."
"I'm going to clear the snow during the winter vacation, and I'm going to make sure I get enough of a pound."
"Autobots, transform, go!" One of the boys waved his arms and then rushed out of the store with a loud roar.
"Transform, bumblebee, go." One child also shouted.
"I'm Bumblebee, you're the doggy." The other one quit and shouted quickly.
"You're the doggy, I'm the bumblebee."
"I'm a Tyrannosaurus rex supercar, transform." A group of children walked towards the house while making a noise.
Brown shrugged, looked at the equipment showing the movie, and then prepared to clean the store and wait for tomorrow to continue.
The distributors set up a film company, and as for the publicity and distribution funds, all the money invested was given to dealers around the world, and the method was very simple, that is, to show a ten-minute sample in the store, and when there were children, it was played, and then it was played for a fixed period of time every afternoon, and at the same time announced that the animated film would be released at Christmas.
Brown also recorded the number of children watching the sample film today, from two or three at the beginning, to more than 30 now, resulting in insufficient places to watch the movie.
The dealers looked at the better and better data, and the smiling mouths couldn't close, and the dealers had found a professional publicity and distribution company, but the competition in the Christmas schedule was too fierce, the prices were higher than the other, and some still wanted what to share at the box office, so the dealers thought of this plan.
As for the filing or something, this must be done, the later stage is mainly a matter of going to theaters, there is no way to do this, but dealers decided to start the trial broadcast before Christmas in Europe, as long as those theaters see the results, they will naturally take the initiative to find themselves.
There are other characters in the Autobots in Transformers, the motorcycle uses a supercar, the car uses an excellent car under the name of Rover Motors, and the others are original, and the bangs have not changed much.
At the beginning of November, the first season of Autobots was completed, and Liu Hai signed it after reading it, and as for the later stage, he couldn't intervene, and he couldn't interfere, and he didn't even know what his pen name had changed to.
Bangs are busy making log transporters, the logs have been manufactured, and the log bangs are not made according to the original parameters, so it will not be exposed.
There are changes in length, diameter, anyway, the main thing is to test stability and changes in the transportation of solid gunpowder.
It uses a tank engine with more than 700 horsepower, and the whole back is a bracket similar to a scud, which is composed of a launch device, a hydraulic system, an electronic control system, a walking system, a temperature control system, and so on.
Now that it's almost finished, it looks like a behemoth, a bunch of wheels.
The deputy director in charge of the military industry came to see the progress almost every day, and he didn't say anything about the mistakes in the logs that Liu Hai pondered by himself, after all, Comrade Liu Hai didn't know the real parameters, this is certain, if Comrade Liu Hai made a big difference, everyone estimated that there was no bottom in their hearts.
The torpedo boat on the other side was almost ready to be launched, and with the cooperation of relevant technicians, the torpedo launcher was placed on the torpedo boat, which could carry at least 12 torpedoes.
The strange shape makes the technicians who come to help feel a little sci-fi.
However, the later it is, the more idle the bangs are, because the part they are responsible for has been basically completed, and the rest is made by others, and finally it is enough to debug it yourself.
As for the test, this is not your turn to do it, someone specializes in this test, as for whether the person who tested it will change the log, I don't know if this bangs are the best to change it to be more real.
Transformers toys are manufactured in batches, these are not very big kinds, they are relatively small, and they will be bigger depending on the situation in the later stage.
Liu Hai even decided that if the movie was a big hit, he would do the kind of person he saw in many amusement parks in later generations wearing it, and there was no technical difficulty.
Bangs turned out another good thing on the aircraft carrier: "exoskeleton." ”
In fact, when the bangs are crossed, some exoskeletons have been used to move goods for workers, of course, exoskeletons are also divided into many kinds, the military is more precise, and the cost is also very high, after all, the materials used are titanium alloys.
In addition, it is divided into batteries and hydraulics, etc.,But what the specific effect is in the battle.,It's hard to say.,But it's still very good in terms of load-bearing.。
There was nothing to do with the last two projects, and Liu Hai began to think about the Elizabeth yacht, which is the 62-meter-long super luxury yacht, and then the design of the big dog car, an upgraded version of the dog car.
Next year's summer big dog car will be launched on the market, bangs and other maintenance departments here after a few days of rest to start building big dog cars, 2.0 displacement, bangs are ready to use aluminum engines, die-casting machines this is really not good, you can buy equipment with English, and even technology.
To put it mildly, these dealers can't get the technology through formal channels, and those that can be obtained through other channels, as long as the money is in place, the president has to overturn the heavenly spirit cover, not to mention others.
The log transporter, the senior management also attaches great importance to it, although no one said anything in front of the bangs, but the deputy director in charge of the military industry has been reporting, and has been reporting almost every day recently.
After all, it is a large killing weapon, and those who know this log transporter certainly know the importance, and this thing increases the mobility ability that costs you three thousand.
And judging from the intelligence collected in the international community now, no country has this, but Big Brother has a log train, and that is a train.
So this device made by bangs is particularly eye-catching.
In mid-November, when the bangs were debugged, the engine was started in the car, and the car was taken out of the plant, the deputy director in charge of the military industry breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's it going?" Liu Hai drove the car around, and after checking it, Sun Aiguo asked.
"The power is not a big problem, the next step is to start other tests, is this in our factory, or is it tested elsewhere?" Bangs asked.
"This is going to be a secret test, and I'll leave at night, do you want to go with you?" Sun Aiguo also knew that it was inconvenient to test here, and there were many people.
"I'm not going, there's a test manual anyway, just drive, and the torpedo boat is at a critical time." Bangs had expected it a long time ago and spoke.
Tomorrow it's still noon
