Chapter 212 Longxing A1 pricing is determined, Xu Jinshui interviews Maria
In the early morning.
It is quiet at night and the bright moon is in the sky.
Pinglian County in eastern Guangdong.
This small county town belongs to Heyuan City and is located at the junction of Eastern Guangdong Province and Western Ganxi Province. Most foreign vehicles at night are freight.
At this moment, at the Pinglian Toll Station, the traffic police have set up a 500-meter cordon at the entrance and exit, and there are people guarding both sides, as if they are performing some task.
A moment later.
The lead car appears with flashing red and blue lights.
"It's the Ganxi license plate."
The traffic police on the expressway saw the license plate and the vehicle driving about thirty yards away, and immediately put away the warning sign.
After waiting for the police car to clear the way, all five flatbed freight vehicles drove within the warning line, and the ice cream buckets were returned to their positions.
When driving into the toll station, the police on both sides handed over tasks.
"Hello, police from eastern Guangdong, we are police from western Jiangxi. This mutual transport mission has arrived at the provincial line of your province. We are hereby carrying out the escort handover."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Both parties saluted and took out the handover documents for confirmation.
After checking with multiple parties and confirming that there was no problem with each other's identities, the Ganxi police officers were arranged to rest in the corresponding hotel.
The freight vehicles and drivers were all invited to the Public Security Bureau, where there was a special place to park the vehicles and rest.
This escort mission is top secret. Even the police were urgently transferred from Kawara City, and the destination was Shencheng.
No one knew what was being transported. They only knew that it was transported across several provinces and more than a dozen toll stations were dismantled and transported to eastern Guangdong. It was most likely strategic armaments.
Just like when the Zhuhai Navy was preparing for the exhibition, the documents transported were all marked top secret, and no one knew what they were.
…
The other side.
Futian District, Shencheng.
Headquarters of Longxing Technology Company.
Chen Xing is sitting in an office chair, clicking the mouse in his hand, carefully checking the enterprise docking report sent by Zhang Heting in the evening.
Sixteen copycat machine companies have tens of thousands of company employees and factory workers waiting for employment.
It is naturally impossible for all tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs. At least the skilled workers at the factory, Chen Xing will not let them lose their jobs.
More than 200 production lines require a large number of workers to run them all.
According to Zhang Heting's docking report, there are a total of 7,889 workers at the factory, 5,737 of whom can sign directly to Longxing Factory, and the rest have poor paper feedback.
Although paper feedback cannot fully reflect a person's ability and character, it is the most intuitive and convenient way to identify people.
This is like academic qualifications. Everyone knows that there are geniuses in junior college, but they are rare. No one has the energy to identify whether a junior college student is a genius.
Therefore, the seven words "only for undergraduates and above" often appear on major recruitment platforms and offline job fairs.
Of course.
It is not limited to junior college. Even if the undergraduate degree is not from a prestigious school, it is easy to be brushed off. This is the rapid screening of companies on paper.
After Chen Xing briefly checked the copycat companies’ docking reports, he focused on the supplier’s product information.
Yangtze Memory, Yangtze No. 1 memory chip, although it only has 32G and 64G, not 128G, it is barely enough.
Jingfangfang, Jingpin A1 screen, because it has just started, it targets Korean star E series inferior OLED screens.
Although it is just starting out, the Jingpin A1 screen has already surpassed Korean E-series screens in many aspects such as clarity, transparency, color accuracy, and color shift control.
But again, this is a paper report. For actual measurement, the results will need to be produced by the screen laboratory of Longxing Technology.
AAC Technology, its AAC 4th generation is not targeting foreign companies, but domestic Goertek. Because it is a speaker replacement, Chen Xing did not ask for too much. It has dual speakers and three-dimensional surround. , MEMS acoustic sensors are enough.
While Chen Xing checked the domestic parts, he also did not forget to organize them into the configuration list of "Longxing A1".
Because the annual meeting is approaching and tens of millions are being spent, it is impossible for him to just do it for welfare, but to use the influence of celebrities to preview the Longxing A1 mobile phone.
Since it is made of parts made in China, the cost of the whole machine including Star Flash fast charging is only 550 yuan.
But! Chen Xing also has not calculated the price of one of the most important spare parts, and that is the processor chip!
Due to a "fire" at the Korean Star Group's production plant, the supply of Orion 5433 processor chips and M5 series screens was suspended. Chen Xing now faces two choices.
1. Use the SOC God chip on the Longxing A1 mobile phone.
2. Find cooperation with MediaTek Group.
If you choose 1, in order to control costs and keep Geek X1 competitive, Chen Xing will definitely not consider installing an independent game chip, that is, a Qingzhou chip.
If you don’t want to use the SOC God chip, there are also MediaTek chips to choose from.
However, MediaTek is notoriously inferior. At least for now, its chips are low-quality chips.
If not, and instead uses the Qingzhou chip as the main chip, Chen Xing will need to add a Kaitian baseband chip to it and purchase independent chips for other parts.
“Should we contact MediaTek?”
Chen Xing was a little undecided.
When MediaTek chips were exposed as having eight cores, their corporate boss Cai Mingjie came to Chen Xing and wanted him to continue using MediaTek chips, and also promoted ten-core chips.
However.
Chen Xing refused on the spot.
The eight-core chip has been hammered, what about the ten-core chip?
What international joke are you kidding?
"Forget it. Although MediaTek chips are cheap, the quality and performance are hard to describe. It's better not to find attack vulnerabilities for opponents." Chen Xing muttered to himself.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to use it, but he doesn’t dare to gamble. Who knows if MediaTek chips will cause a big scandal?
After deciding to use the SOC God chip, he clearly labeled it the "castrated version."
Because the Longxing A1 is positioned as a thousand-yuan machine, a real thousand-yuan machine, it is impossible for him to give a full-blooded version of the SOC God chip, and can only give a residual-blooded version without independent graphics connection. In this way It can also appease geek users.
He doesn’t want to be scolded and treated differently when he leaves the country.
......
After carefully selecting the configuration, time passed quickly, and a new email from Yang Minshuo also popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
Chen Xing did not rush to take a look, but officially finalized the configuration of Longxing A1.
Screen assembly: Jingdongfang’s Jingpin A1.
Camera: 9-megapixel lens self-developed by Longxing Technology.
Battery: 4000 mAh battery developed by Longxing Technology.
Mobile phone chip: SOC God chip.
Speaker components: AAC 4th generation.
……
Connection components: provided by Luxshare Precision.
Charging equipment: 120W star flash fast charge.
"The total price of Longxing A1 parts is..." Chen Xing calculated the overall price and finally concluded: "590 yuan."
After calculating the cost of parts, he started to calculate again Royalties.
In the mobile phone manufacturing industry, patent royalties account for a very heavy share, especially in baseband and operating systems.
But now, Chen Xing does not need to pay these patent fees.
If you want to use the 4G network, you only need to pay an agreement usage fee of 30 yuan to GCOT International Telecommunications Union to use it normally.
The mobile phone operating system, this time uses Hongmeng’s Tianxuan operating system. Patent fees?
It doesn't exist!
But what troubles Chen Xing is that the Bluetooth function is restricted by the International Bluetooth Alliance, which means that Longxing Technology’s new phones cannot use Bluetooth and need to develop new connection technologies by themselves.
At present, the new connection technology has been approved by the original Bluetooth experimental team. It is not yet known how long it will take to complete the technological breakthrough.
Bluetooth connection is one of the few shortcomings of Longxing A series, but there are alternatives. If you want to transfer files, you can use WiFi connection to transfer. There are still many WiFi connection transfer software on the market. .
After complete calculation, Chen Xing still has to pay 213 yuan in patent fees.
590+213=803, which means that including assembly costs, the price of the Longxing A1 mobile phone will be around 850 yuan.
Fortunately, the tax is exempted, otherwise the cost price would be close to 900 yuan.
“The cost price is 850 yuan, the 32G configuration is priced at 999 yuan, and the net profit is 144 yuan per unit. The 64G memory chip is 38 yuan more expensive than 32G. The 64G configuration sells for 1,099 yuan, and the net profit is 211 yuan. Insurance If so..."
Mobile phone insurance pricing Chen Xing hesitated for a long time. He considered that Southeast Asian countries did not have the habit of buying mobile phone insurance. If it was too expensive, people would not be able to afford it.
Sudden!
Chen Xing had a flash of inspiration.
“If you want to change their computer usage habits, you need to spend some money.”
Chen Xing’s eyes flashed with a calculating light, and he silently knocked down 1 in the insurance price column. Yuan broken screen insurance.
Yes!
1 yuan broken screen insurance.
A Crystal Oriental screen costs 60 yuan. Even if the screen of Longxing A1 is really broken, it will only cost 59 yuan more.
You know, the profit of a mobile phone is only 144 yuan. No matter how he changes the screen, Chen Xing will not lose money.
According to the law of insurance, out of 100 people, no more than 20 people will actually use insurance. This is also the famous 80-20 rule, and the insurance cannot cost much.
Once they are familiar with insurance, Chen Xing can start cutting.
Just like the original Longxing X1, it opened up the market at a low price. When everyone couldn't do without Star Flash fast charging, the mobile phones produced by Longxing Technology have been sought after by users.
In one sentence, users may make a small profit, but Chen Xing will never lose money.
One yuan guaranteed for one year, after Chen Xing typed these words, the various configurations and cost price of Longxing A1 have been finalized.
On the day of the annual meeting, you can simply preheat the Longxing A1 to create some heat by taking advantage of the celebrity effect.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing also sent the configuration list to Yao Nana and asked her to use these configurations to think about the gimmicks of the new phone.
......
After dealing with the Longxing A1 matter, Chen Xingcai opened his mailbox unhurriedly and checked the email sent by Yang Minshuo.
The content of the email is also very simple. It is to rent several production workshop buildings to lay out mobile phone equipment production lines.
Beyond that.
We also rent supporting warehouses and dormitories.
After seeing that three hundred production lines had been laid, Chen Xing was slightly excited and said: "With the production line, we can mass-produce as long as we ensure the supply of parts."
He did not hesitate for a moment and immediately Send reminders to suppliers.
According to Chen Xing’s plan, the production cycle is seven days, and 500,000 mobile phones will be manufactured every day, which is 3.5 million units per week.
Chen Xing not only wants to sell in Southeast Asia, but also in the Dragon Kingdom.
If possible, it is also a good choice to sell in the Middle East. The demand for mobile phones from users there will not be less than in the Southeast Asian market.
If you want to go abroad, Southeast Asia is the starting point, but it is by no means the end.
While Chen Xing was calculating carefully and planning the configuration and price of Longxing A1, he was far away on Wall Street in New York on the other side of the ocean.
A middle-aged man with a plump body, a loyal appearance, but shrewd eyes is sitting in the waiting area of Bailai Group.
If Chen Xing were here, he would definitely be able to recognize him immediately.
The middle-aged man is none other than Xu Jinshui, the founder of Pineapple Company.
half a year ago.
Due to the bankruptcy of his company, he was found guilty of falsifying accounts and tax evasion. Even though he actively cooperated with the repayment, he was still sentenced to one year in prison.
However, due to his foreign status in the United States and good performance in prison, he was released after serving his sentence in only half a year.
Now he hates Chen Xing and Longxing Technology Company to the core. He wishes that Longxing Technology would collapse and go bankrupt every day and every night.
But contrary to expectations, what he hoped to see did not happen. Instead, Chen Xing became the "Beidou Ambassador", and Longxing Technology became the most promising technology company.
Just when he was feeling disheartened, news suddenly came out that Longxing Technology had been jointly sanctioned, and that Chen Xing had acquired sixteen copycat phone companies, intending to compete in the Southeast Asian market.
Southeast Asian market.
Sinking market.
Isn’t this his professional field?
For him who has made a fortune in high-performance copycat machines, he is confident that he can fight with Chen Xing. Even if he can't defeat him, he can still disgust Longxing Technology.
After meeting Puch and Molenkov, he was recommended to the Baile Group and wanted to seek financial and technical help.
“Tap——”
The heart-piercing sound of high heels stepping on the floor reached his ears, and Xu Jinshui quickly looked for the source of the sound.
Next second.
Maria, wearing black stockings and high heels, looked sexy and charming as she approached.
She looked at Xu Jinshui with a stern look and said calmly: "I can only say that you are very lucky. Come to my office to discuss cooperation in detail."
"Discuss cooperation?"
Xu Jinshui was stunned for half a second.
He originally wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. He didn't read any of his documents.
If he hadn't known that the Bailey Group was the big BOSS that controlled mainstream Western companies, he would have thought it was a fraud group.
"Otherwise?"
Maria looked like she was having sex.
It is no exaggeration to say that the moment he came to the Bailey Group and expressed his thoughts, his details were basically found out.
"Then please lead the way." Xu Jinshui quickly stood up and said.
The two walked straight to the office. The moment the door closed, Maria twisted the door lock to make the space private.
Xu Jinshui didn't know the intention, but he always felt that something was wrong.
“Tell me what you think.”
Maria came to the sofa in the negotiation area and sat down. She glanced at somewhere in the office. If you look carefully, you will find that it is a very large weapon. Hidden pinhole camera.
Anyone who understands the hidden rules of the business world and the binding of interests will know that receiving investment certificates is an indispensable process.
What is a Certificate of Voting?
Two words, handle!
As long as we have a handle, no matter how high we climb in the future, as long as we have a handle, we are still in the same boat.
This is why some business tycoons are involved in scandals from time to time due to leaked videos.
Are they really so free to shoot videos?
No!
It’s just a certificate of recognition!
