Two days ago, John, a supplier of engineering equipment from Warner in Chouguo, called and planned to visit Xinghai Group.

Since the industrial exhibition, Fang Bai and the other party have met once, and they have not met again, but they have made two return calls, which is to ask John about the use of products.

John is very satisfied with Xinghai's products, especially the pump truck, but one bad thing is that the vertical height of the boom is 35 meters, which is a bit low, and I hope it will be higher.

At the beginning, 10 sets of 60 kW pumps and 4 sets of 35-meter pump trucks were purchased, and 6 sets of ground pumps and 3 pump trucks have been sold.

"Mr. John, our company has developed a boom vertical height of 40 meters of pump truck, 75 kilowatt ground pump, better performance, you are welcome to visit our company, I also hope that we have more in-depth cooperation." Fang Bai sincerely invited the other party to come over, and it was difficult to negotiate business on the phone.

It's been a few months, the opinion function has expired, and John's basic opinion of him is only over seventy.

If they meet again, Fang Bai will exert favorability on the other party to better fool the order.

At Fang Bai's sincere invitation, John agreed to come over.

On December 1, John led a team of four people to Shencheng, and Fang Bai personally greeted him at the international airport, and directly exerted favorability on the other four people when they met, which directly increased to 80 trust.

Fang Bai checked John's basic favorability just now, and sure enough, it was only 70.

After imposing a favor on everyone, the four of them were glad that Fang Bai came to greet them personally, indicating that they were very important to them.

Fang Bai invited John to sit in his Daben, and the other guests to ride in the Audi.

They took a plane from Los Angeles to Huaguo Shencheng, which was very tossing, Fang Bai first arranged a hotel for the other party to stay, and left after the arrangement.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Fang Bai went to greet John and the others, first took them to their new factory for a walk, had a delicious meal at noon, took them to wash their feet and massage them after the meal, and rested for a while by the way.

At the same time, Fang Bai explained to them the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine massage, saying that it has a certain effect on the treatment of obesity, maybe it is really comfortable after the massage, and John feels relaxed, which is really amazing.

Bringing "international friends" to this kind of place, in this era, it is estimated that Fang Bai is the first person.

Of course, it's all serious.

In the afternoon, they were brought to Xinghai Machinery Company to visit the pump truck production base and the ground pump production base.

The factory is not big, but the on-site management is in good order, no worse than foreign companies, and the appearance of the workers is also good, which is also Fang Bai's confidence in daring to take customers to visit his factory.

If the scene is messy, then his face is really dark.

"Mr. Fang, your company has very good management, perfect quality control, and the working status of your employees is also very good." John praised from the bottom of his heart, and in his impression, the Huaguo factory should be relatively backward, the quality of the workers was poor, and the management would not be much better.

"With higher standards and higher requirements, we can make better quality products." Fang Bai explained confidently, and then, take them to visit the steel structure welds, the welders he recruited have a relatively high level of technology, so the welded products are naturally beautiful.

In the past two days, Fang Bai issued a dead order, and foreign customers came to visit and inspect, requiring all welds with rust on the surface to be polished.

The company also has such regulations, but there is only a little rust, the workers do not polish directly welding, the impact on the product is not great, the appearance is definitely not visible, but there may be slag inclusion inside the weld, it is not serious to say that it is serious, but the knowledgeable customers must feel that they do not pay attention to the quality after seeing the phenomenon of direct welding without removing rust.

There are many structural parts of pump trucks and ground pumps, and there are many welding processes, so welding is the key, and the quality can be seen from the weld.

Large plate welding, each layer of each process parameter requirements are very detailed, workers also in accordance with the process welding, the weld is neat, full, no weld defects, and the residual height and welding width are controlled very well, several foreigners also thought it was robot welding, but saw that it was the worker welding, exclaimed that the overall level of the worker is high.

"Our workers are first-class peers and are familiar with process standards, and these parts cannot be welded by robots, so they can only use manual labor, so the manufacturing cost is very high." Fang Bai explained that John still understands the manufacturing industry, and there are experts in his peers, so there is no need for him to be too foolish.

After visiting the workshop production, Fang Bai took the guests to the assembly workshop to visit the 40-meter pump truck, and let the operators demonstrate the operation of the new product.

Of course, there is no concrete, just stretch out your arms and see how flexible you are.

Fang Bai introduced some of the functions and performance of the product to the guests, and sent the product in the box, which also came with a video tutorial on how to use it, but it was better than watching it on the spot, knowing how to use it correctly, John brought a technician to learn it.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides began to discuss cooperation, the FOB price of the 35-meter pump truck is 650,000 US dollars, and the number of 40-meter pump axles is three bridges, or the use of Volvo chassis, the engine unit, the concrete pump are the same, that is, the structure is lengthened, the chassis is replaced by three bridges, the cost is higher, the domestic price is 3.2 million yuan, and the offshore price is 750,000 US dollars.

John is also optimistic about this concrete pump truck market and intends to increase purchases.

This time, he purchased 15 sets of 60 kW ground pumps, 5 sets of 45 kW ground pumps, 5 sets of 35-meter pump trucks, and 10 sets of 40-meter pump trucks, with an order contract value of 14.75 million US dollars, with a 50% deposit in advance, and required delivery within two months.

Wait for the next purchase, just make a phone call, and you don't have to go to Huaguo in person.

For this large order, 15 pump trucks filled the company's production capacity for half a month.

In addition, Fang Bai hoped that John would help purchase the decoding chips on Scopa's CL-480 decoder board in the name of his company, and the CIF price for bulk purchases was $15 each, with a purchase volume of about 490,000 units.

The CL-480 decoder board had some problems and the error correction ability was not very good, and later there were 484 decoder boards and 680 decoder boards.

This early CL-480 decoding circuit board with decoding chip, the import price of large quantities is cheaper, but ordinary people can't get it, it is difficult to get foreign exchange, the amount is small, the original manufacturer does not sell, in 1995, the terminal price in the domestic market is about 1,000 yuan.

Of course, the bare board of the decoding circuit is not cheap, the cost is not much different from the decoding chip, and then assemble the decoding chip and produce it in large quantities, a decoding circuit board with a decoding chip costs about 150 yuan, and the purchase price is estimated to cost three or four hundred yuan.

The import trading company then transfers to the supplier, and the supplier then transfers to the terminal sales, and it is normal for the terminal sales to sell for 1,000 yuan.

Fang Bai optimizes the design of the decoding circuit board to entrust the circuit board manufacturers to produce, the decoding circuit board designed by itself is much more simplified than before, and the manufacturing cost will be much lower, it is estimated that the decoding circuit board with a chip only needs 130 yuan, which is more than the purchase price of three or four hundred yuan to save a lot of procurement costs.

Moreover, the decoding circuit board that has been optimized and designed by themselves is better, there are not so many problems as the CL-480 decoding board, others want to imitate the trouble, they can only purchase D from Xinghai Company in the early stage of listing, the decoding chip and circuit board are expensive, and the main cost of VCD is on these core components.

The shell, wires, plugs, transformers and other non-important parts add up to less than 50 yuan, if all plastic shells and cold-rolled plates are used, it is cheaper.

On the whole, Fang Bai estimates that the production cost of the company to produce a VCD machine is about 230 yuan, and there is still great room for decline due to mass production in the future.

In the later stage, the cost of various parts and components has decreased, coupled with fierce competition, the VCD terminal sales price is as low as three or four hundred yuan, and the ex-factory price is much lower.

When the new product was launched, Fangbai's price was slightly lower than that of later generations, but it was also 4,000 yuan, and the ex-factory price was set at 3,500 yuan, giving the terminal a gross profit of 500 yuan.

As long as it is easy to sell, the terminal seller will try his best to cooperate with the manufacturer to recommend VCD to customers.

After selling for a few months, some manufacturers must have started to imitate it;

A year later, it is estimated that another brand of VCD will appear on the market.

However, if a competitor can't buy a decoder chip, it can only change to a CD player.

In the case of sufficient raw materials and parts, if the company's 700 workers work overtime, they can assemble about 3 million VCD machines a year, one machine per person per hour.

If you stock up on a million VCDs, it will only take four months.

In fact, because the workers were not familiar with the new product, Fang Bai felt that it was already remarkable to be able to produce one million VCD machines in the first six months.

In order to hoard one million VCD machines, he had to prepare more than 200 million dollars, and foreign exchange alone had to prepare 20 million US dollars.

The group makes money very quickly, there is no shortage of money in the country, but there is a shortage of foreign exchange, and it is too difficult to apply for foreign exchange, but fortunately, John made a big purchase.

Now, Fang Bai is not in a hurry to increase production, take his time, he has now decided to develop laser heads and servo motors.

When you are ready, you can list the VCD.

A few days later, on December 10, my father called Fang Bai and talked to him about the sales of the company's second real estate.

120 acres of residential land, a total of 1,300 houses, the average price rose to 2,500 yuan, the current lottery is over, only a few houses have not been sold, sales continue to be hot, sales pre-income of 325 million yuan, if the shops and parking spaces are all sold out, sales revenue is expected to reach 355 million yuan.

The investment cost of this real estate is about 172 million yuan, the gross profit is expected to reach 180 million yuan, and the after-tax profit is about 135 million yuan.

The first real estate project, Oujiangwan, has been capped and will be delivered in a few months.

The cap means that the owner of the installment loan needs to apply for a loan before the real estate company can get the full payment.

Although the second real estate has not been capped, the number of owners in full is large, about one-third, and the other owners have paid 30% to 50% in advance, and this real estate has already generated a profit of 60 or 70 million yuan.

Fang Bai's personal wealth is close to one billion yuan, and he is not far from upgrading!

He is getting more and more excited, this is the first LV6 gold finger!

Just five days later, his personal wealth officially reached 1 billion yuan, and the gold finger hint can be upgraded.

"Hehe, excited!"

Fang Bai was working in the company, returned to his office, closed the office door, leaned on the sofa and studied and prepared to upgrade the golden finger.

[Tips: If the personal wealth reaches 1 billion yuan, the middle finger can be upgraded to LV6, is it upgraded?] 】

"Confirm the upgrade!"

Fang Bai was extremely excited, his blood was boiling, and with his rapid and powerful breathing, his silent thoughts escalated, and he almost shouted.

Eyes staring at the virtual screen, a little nervous, this upgrade I don't know if it will add new features.

He's really looking forward to adding some special new features, such as strengthening the ring finger and increasing favorability, which is currently benefiting a lot.

Of course, the design and process analysis of the middle finger also made him make a breakthrough in scientific research and make very good products.

If you don't have a good product, it's hard to sell the worn skin.

In an instant, Fang Bai saw that the virtual screen had changed.

[Hint: Middle finger is upgraded to LV6]

[Hint: The next level of LV7 upgrade requirements: 10 billion yuan of wealth value]

Suddenly, he felt a breath of heat in the middle finger of his right hand.

After a few minutes, the heat and itchiness subsided, the crust of the scar became soft, and the fingers felt a little more flexible.

[Middle index LV6: Analyze the process problems of paper documents of mechanical equipment and electronic equipment, and the analysis ability of design and process has been improved to 85 points, and the world-class expert level;

From the product design drawings to evolve the corresponding tooling, fixture, mold design and other drawings and processes, the drawings and process technology level is at the domestic first-class expert level;

According to the chip and other physical objects, the evolution analysis of the original design drawing. 】

"Fuck, pervert!"

When Fang Bai finished reading the new function of the middle finger gold finger, his mouth opened wide, revealing his white teeth, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

The improvement of his analytical ability from 80 to 85 points does not feel like a lot, and 5 points is not much, but there is also a level of improvement that means he is able to find more problems.

From the design drawings to the drawings and processes such as chemical fixtures and mold design, this function is very useful to Fang Bai.

All along, he felt that his design ability was insufficient, and he relied on the original design drawings for correction.

Mind you, he can't innovate!

Just correct the errors and omissions of the original drawings, and the design level still has a lot to do with your own level.

Designers who engage in automation know very well that product design drawings are important, tooling fixtures and molds are equally important, and they often design excellent products, but because tooling fixtures and molds are not well designed, mass production cannot be carried out, or there are too many problems in production, and production efficiency cannot be guaranteed.

And now, it is possible to evolve tooling fixtures and mold drawings according to product design drawings, that is to say, Fang Bai can copy it directly.

He pulled out a drawing from the table, clicked on the analysis, and instantly presented several drawings of tooling and fixtures, and there were several sets of drawings for him to choose from.

Fang Bai can be used now, for example, if he wants to produce VCD shells, he needs die-casting molds, and after analyzing them, he will present the mold drawings, and he only needs to copy the drawings and send them to the workshop for production.

It's a bit bad to be a porter who copies drawings.

"This new function is good, and the last new function can actually evolve and analyze the original design drawing according to the actual chip!"

Just like the current decoding chip, the size of a fingernail, of course Fang Bai doesn't know how people design it.

However, he can now analyze the drawings based on the actual objects, draw the drawings, and then correct the errors and omissions, design better chips, and then entrust the semiconductor factory to produce them.

It is a pity that there is no chip (semiconductor) manufacturing plant in China, and it is not easy to even make raw material wafers.

TSMC was established in 1987, but at present, it only has the ability to produce circuit boards, and does not yet have the ability to manufacture chips, and the lithography machine cannot be obtained for the time being.

In other words, even if Fang Bai can design it, he doesn't dare to use it for the time being to be produced in the ugly country, and he still honestly purchases it from Scopa.

Once Xinghai Group shows the ability to design chips, Fang Bai can imagine what the road ahead is.

The decoding chip drawings are not used for the time being, and he himself does not have the ability to design the chip, but he may be able to use it in the future.

With the added functions of this upgrade, Fang Bai feels that there are more things that can be done.

As long as there is a physical object, the original design can be analyzed and evolved!

If there are corresponding equipment, raw materials, and parts, it is much easier to imitate.

Of course, things are not so simple, otherwise, the drawings for domestic advanced fighters would have been made long ago.

It's easy to design, but it's hard to manufacture! (End of chapter)
