Chapter 135 OEM
“If this is the case, then we don’t have to be limited to the UK. We can look for OEM manufacturers overseas. The most important thing is speed. Now the cost of the set-top box can be completely covered by the customer’s deposit. After offsetting, there is still something left. In this case, speed is the most important. We must occupy the British market in the shortest possible time."
Barron said to DigitalUK CEO Brad in a deep voice.
“But if it is overseas, whether it is Germany, France, or the United States, our local companies will not have an advantage in terms of production costs, and an additional freight will be required.”
Hearing the other party’s answer, Barron smiled and said:
"Don't just limit your sights to Europe and the United States, you can look at Asia. The manufacturing industry there is booming now, and because of the advantages of labor, even with shipping freight, the cost is much lower than what we produce ourselves. , I think you can send people to China, especially the southern regions there, such as Shenzhen City. I have been there before. Their electronic product production is already very large-scale and the industrial chain is very complete. , we can definitely look for a powerful factory to serve as our foundry."
"Huaxia?"
Brad said with a look of doubt:
" The quality of their products... is afraid that the failure rate will be too high, which will increase the pressure on our customer service."
It is normal for Brad to have such questions at this time.
Because during this period, in the eyes of many people in Europe and the United States, Chinese products represented cheapness and poor quality.
Of course, emerging countries, including the former Japanese country, will always follow the copycat and cheap route at the beginning. After accumulating experience and funds, they will upgrade their industrial chains and finally complete their transformation. .
Just like China's products, in the next twenty years, they will gradually rely on technological content and quality, changing many Westerners' inherent impressions of them.
“You don’t need to worry about this at all. I hope you will send someone to investigate without any inherent prejudice. As long as their pass rate is within an affordable range and the cost is low enough, we will completely When the user's set-top box fails, the "
Barron understands that China at this time is fully capable of producing the set-top boxes they need, and he is not purely thinking about the "Chinese plot" he had in his previous life, but purely considering his own interests. Benefits, he continued:
"As for users, our locally produced set-top boxes still require a deposit of 400 pounds, while for set-top boxes produced in China with the same function, the deposit can be reduced to 300 pounds. I believe that by then, without affecting the use, how can The users will make their own choices."
"Okay, Your Highness, I will send technicians to China immediately to inspect the factory there, is it Shenzhen?"
Since his boss insisted on doing this, Brad wisely agreed.
"Yes, I have invested in a company there before, and their founder Pony has quite a network there. I will give him a call when the time comes and ask him to help us introduce a factory with sufficient strength." We can control the quality of the most important chip part of the set-top box. After customizing the main components, they will be assembled by the Huaxia factory. This is absolutely no problem. "
The most important thing is the hardware system of the set-top box. Chips, memory and modems, and other components such as various interfaces, power supplies and casings have little technical content.
Therefore, what Barron means is that after finding a suitable foundry, they will standardize the quality system of the other party, and if the important components, especially the chips, are customized by DigitalUK to European and American manufacturers, there will actually be no problems, and they need Yes, but with an amount of tens of millions, you can invest in the other party and take shares to ensure the interests of DigitalUK.
The cost of such a set-top box produced by China is probably 30%-50% lower than that produced locally, and the output is also much higher. It is the best choice for DigitalUK.
......
"You come back so early today, don't you have any other arrangements?"
Seeing Bonnie's half-smiling expression, Barron said seriously:< br>
"I told you, honey, it was just for dinner. I said I wanted to take you with me, but you refused." "You are dating a beautiful woman, and wouldn't it be very inappropriate for me to go with you?"
At this time, Barron knew Dao, what is needed next is not to continue to explain, but to use learning knowledge to prove one's innocence...
The results of the selection of the Woaw website at Cambridge University are out, and the person who received the most likes in the end is a A girl named Gena Aaron.
When the staff of the Woaw website asked her what kind of prize she hoped to get, Rena Aaron said that she only needed a MINI car for daily transportation. In addition, she hoped that I had the opportunity to meet and have dinner with the Duke of Devonshire.
MINI cars are a favorite car among British girls. They are small and cute, but even the high-end version only costs 25,000 pounds, which is far lower than the prize of no more than 50,000 pounds that Barron promised at the time.
For this reason, another request she made was approved by Barron.
Of course, he had discussed this matter with Bangyou before, and she knew about it from beginning to end.
Although during the dinner, the beauty named Gena Aaron hinted to Barron that she did not need to go back to the dormitory tonight... But Barron was still a very gentleman during the dinner. Afterwards, she asked the driver to take her back to Cambridge from the Devonshire Hotel.
This is naturally not because Rena Aaron is not beautiful enough. She was able to win the final victory in the entire Cambridge University girl competition. Rena Aaron not only has exquisite facial features, but also has a very "wow" figure...
It's just that although Barron likes beautiful women, he also knows what kind of people he can attack, and what kind of people need to be cautious.
Just like when he and the Viscountess and even the actors were learning knowledge together, Barron knew that the identity of the other party made it impossible for them to make their affairs public, which made it impossible for him to get off the stage in the end... …
But for a girl like Gena Aaron, that’s not necessarily the case.
You know you have a girlfriend, but you still stick to her like this. Is it really just for what she calls "admiration"? When it comes to seeing people, Barron also thinks that he has some experience, which stems from the many experiences he had in his previous life.
It can be seen that Rena Aaron is a very calculating girl, and Barron does not want to cause trouble for him.
Moreover, the previous selection by the Woaw website was called "the Duke's chosen concubine" by some gossip tabloids, including "The Sun". He could not really make such an excuse.
After all, in his heart, the value of Woaw is much more important than such a woman.
Now, Woaw has opened the registration channel to more British college students.
After this competition for girls at Cambridge University ends, the competition for girls across the UK will begin soon.
From this time on, the Woaw website will also see an explosion in the number of users, starting from 10,000 to 100,000 and even millions.
At the same time, the Woaw website has also decided to continue to open registration for high school students next year. After the number of registered members on the website exceeds 1 million, registration will be officially opened to the whole society.
