Chapter 749 It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help in times of need
On the phone, Zhou Hualiang briefly reported to Li Dongling the first-day sales of stargazing video recorders in America.
Basically, the two cities are New York and Los Angeles. The sales in these two cities accounted for about 60% of the sales on the first day, which also proves that these two cities are indeed America’s A place with the largest number of middle-class families.
Compared with Tanglin Hi-tech’s previous products, the first-day sales of stargazing video recorders are incomparable to those of Shenzhou repeaters and Shenzhou electronic dictionaries.
But you have to compare the product prices to see the difference. The price of the stargazing video recorder is 320 US dollars, which is converted into RMB 2,560. Since the establishment of Tangling Hi-tech, except for PHS, The second best product!
At such a unit price, nearly 7,500 machines could be sold overseas on the first day. The performance is already quite impressive, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of Wall Street.
To put it bluntly, even if you want to speculate, you have to find a reason to speculate, otherwise you won’t be able to speculate even if you want to!
"I will work with the production department to increase production capacity as soon as possible, and America cannot stop promoting the stargazing video recorder!
In addition, you tell Microsoft to start it as soon as possible. Promotion to Canada and Old Europe!”
Based on Guanxing’s current performance, Li Dongling predicts that Microsoft will be much more active. Anyway, in Canada, Old Europe and other places, they will develop market advertising money. It will definitely have to be funded by Microsoft.
The more advertising Microsoft does, the bigger the video recorder market will be. In the future, Microsoft will spend more on acquiring the video recorder project from Donglin Hi-Tech.
This...does Microsoft dig a big hole for itself?
After hanging up the phone, Li Dongling looked at Ren Yuefeng and others in the office, "The stargazing video recorder is in America and got a good start!"
Hearing this, Ren Yuefeng and others couldn't help but reveal their faces. With a smile on their face, they know how much money Tanglin High-tech can make for every stargazing video recorder sold.
It’s hard to say whether Microsoft makes money or not, but for Tanglin Hi-tech, for every machine sold, the profits from parts and OEM, plus the profit share after sales, are around US$79. !
That is to say, for every machine sold, Tanglin High-tech makes a net profit of 640 yuan. This is also the second highest unit price profit of products in the history of Tanglin High-tech. Not to mention, Stargazing now earns US dollars!
If the stargazing video recorder can sell as well as Tanglin Hi-Tech's previous products, then Tanglin Hi-Tech will definitely make a lot of money with this project.
But unfortunately, Li Dongling knows that the era when digital video recorders will be useful is only in the past three to five years. When the Internet video era comes, all kinds of videos, songs, TV series, and movie resources can be found online.
Even video recorders have kept pace with the times and added functions. They can connect to the Internet and automatically record TV programs. But compared to the high-definition videos that come out after just searching on video websites, who would still use such an antique product? , rely on feelings?
If feelings were useful, then Nokia, Kodak, IBM computers, etc. in previous lives would not be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Sometimes feelings are indeed the biggest killing weapon. Unintentional memories of killing can make people haunt their dreams. But sometimes, this thing is worthless. Who would spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of junk because of feelings? ?
"Ask Duan Youli's production department to increase the production line of stargazing video recorders, and notify the parts supply side to also increase the supply of parts for stargazing video recorders!"
Li Dongling asked Ren Yue Feng and others explained that increasing production capacity is not an empty talk. After the Tanglin Hi-Tech headquarters begins, the entire parts production line suppliers will also increase their horsepower.
"Another announcement was made that Donglin Hi-Tech's settlement cycle for parts suppliers has been shortened to 60 days, and the settlement cycle will be further shortened in the future!"
He turned to the logistics department again On Gao Peng's side, Li Dongling said.
"Do you want to shorten the billing cycle?"
Hearing this, it was Hu Xian who was in charge of finance who couldn't help but speak.
Nowadays, major domestic companies generally have a settlement cycle for parts suppliers of more than half a year, that is, six months and 180 days, or even more than a year.
Donngling Hi-Tech is a hot commodity for all parts suppliers. The average settlement cycle is only 90 days. It is already the company with the shortest supplier settlement cycle among all domestic technology companies. .
Now, the reason why domestic and even some overseas parts suppliers are desperately trying to join the list of parts suppliers of Donglin Hi-Tech.
It’s not just because you can get large orders by joining, your reputation will increase a lot, your listing application will be more likely to be approved than other companies, and the review time will be shorter.
More importantly, Tanglin Hi-Tech has never owed money to any supplier so far, even those suppliers who have been kicked out of the Tanglin Hi-Tech parts industry chain due to quality problems or production capacity performance The company has never resented Dongling Hi-Tech.
Because before being kicked out, Tanglin Hi-Tech will settle all the payments clearly and will never tamper with a single cent of the account.
So those companies that have been kicked out of the supply chain only blame themselves for being inferior in skills and failing to meet the requirements of Tanglin Hi-Tech, but they cannot even talk about resenting Tanglin Hi-Tech.
Originally, the 90-day payment settlement cycle was already outstanding, but Hu Huxian did not expect that Li Dongling would actually shorten the payment settlement cycle. This was not just as simple as a few days in advance.
The entire production and sales model of Donglin Hi-tech, as well as the capital chain, will change accordingly. The capital chain will definitely be very tight in the short term.
“Make an announcement and get out!”
Li Dongling just said to Huxian, in preparation for the upcoming arrival of Soros and the vultures.
It is impossible for people to live alone in this world, and the same is true for Tanglin High-tech. Now the Tanglin High-tech department is not only composed of one company, but there is also a long list of concept stock companies behind it. They are also part of Tanglin Hi-tech. Shortening the settlement cycle is also to enable these parts suppliers to survive better. Just a few days of payment may affect the life or death of a company.
Tanglin Hi-Tech has spent a lot of money to establish this industrial chain. It has been established since its establishment, and now it has begun to take shape.
If it is destroyed like this, it will never be built again, but it will also be a huge blow to the entire Tanglin Hi-Tech!
In other words, the famous overlord in ancient history refused to return to Jiangdong, and after the battle in Chibi, Xu Chu cried bitterly.
Why Chu Bawang was unwilling to go back to see his father and fellow villagers, and why Xu Chu cried bitterly? It was because their relatives had all died in the war, and they had no shame to go back.
On the other hand, the soldiers who can fight and the people who can be trusted are gone, so what's the use of going back?
If Donglin Hi-Tech loses the parts and components industry chain it has finally established, even if it survives the crisis caused by Southeast Asia, its vitality will be seriously damaged.
So Dongling Hi-Tech must retain its parts and components suppliers such as BYD, Hanxi New Materials, BOE, and Sichuan Rong Electronics.
After finishing speaking, Li Dongling said to Ren Yuefeng, "The main market for stargazing video recorders is overseas. For Dongling High-Tech, the most important thing is the Shenzhou Computer project!
Now let the media build momentum and announce the time of the product launch!”

...
At the same time, Duan Youli, general manager of the production department of Dongling Hi-Tech, who had just come out of the workshop, had only one word in his mind when he heard the news from the headquarters.
“The sky is falling!”
Tao Zhiliang, the production supervisor of Dongling Electronics Industrial Park, saw Duan Youli’s face after answering a phone call, with complex expressions such as surprise, confusion, and depression. It appeared on his face, and his face even turned a little pale.
Duan Youli felt like scolding him at this moment. That was 320 US dollars for a machine. Do Americans really not regard US dollars as money? He almost bought up all his month's worth of goods in one day!
Because the stargazing video recorders are sold overseas, the marketing department cannot make accurate estimates, so the production department does not dare to produce too many. If they are kept in the warehouse, it will be doomed.
Not to mention, the cost of stargazing video recorders is so high. Even if there are a thousand machines in stock, the production cost can be two to three million. If this becomes a bad debt, it will be accounted for by the production department. superior.
But now, what troubles Duan Youli the most is not the issue of increasing stargazing production capacity, but his feeling that even if all the prepared production lines are turned on, the production capacity will not be enough!
Prepared by the production department, the maximum production capacity of stargazing video recorders is 400,000 units per year, that is, all the reserved production capacity is pulled out and the staff is fully staffed. In the short term, the production capacity that can be increased is only 400,000 units. A machine!
Can these 400,000 machines last for a year in America?
"Notify all technical staff that they will work overtime today to set up the stargazing video recorder production line. All newly trained employees will be placed on the stargazing video recorder production line and start production in three shifts!"
Gu Don't think about that anymore, Duan Youli knew that if the production capacity was not increased at this time, if the machines were flown over, it might not be Zhou Hualiang, or even Microsoft's foreign devil Ed Fleiss, who would come to kill him.
......
On the first day of sales, after 7,450 stargazing video recorders were sold, the next morning, stargazing video recorders once again sold over 500 units. Thousands of machines.
According to such expectations, today’s sales of Stargazing in America are likely to exceed 10,000 units, setting a new sales record.
In fact, the stock prices of Feiyan Technology, Yahoo, and IBM, which provides hard drives for stargazing, also surged again due to the news of the huge sales of stargazing.
But the sales of stargazing that Wall Street institutions expected to exceed 10,000 did not come. It’s not that they can’t be sold, but... they’re out of stock!
All the stargazing video recorders shipped to America have been sold.
When the news came out that the first batch of stargazing machines had been sold out, the popularity of stargazing not only did not decrease, but skyrocketed.
Because rumors began to spread in America that whoever owns a stargazing video recorder is from a middle-class or above family.
This rumor is very childish and is obviously a gimmick created by advertisers or sellers of stargazing, but middle-class families in America just fall for it!
This is just like it is said that those who buy hamburgers at a high price from a certain fast food restaurant and go shopping in a certain shopping mall are all middle-class or wealthy people.
The outside world may feel that this is just news, but there are indeed many middle-class people who regard these rumors as true and buy those products to show that they are members of a middle-class family. For many middle-class American families, it is a sense of identity.
The stargazing video recorder was sold out, which seems to prove this point. After all, the price of $320 is not something that homeless people or American families receiving relief food can afford!
