Reborn I want everything

Chapter 123 The layout is small
As the big boss, Gu Zhe didn't need to be familiar with the operation and use of the newly purchased high-end experimental equipment and trial production equipment.

The formation of relevant debugging documents can all be handed over to Jincan.

But Gu Zhe is a self-disciplined person, and he always hopes to have more control over the overall situation, so in the first few days, he couldn't avoid doing each step once or twice, but only once or twice. He will never touch it.

He has come into contact with these instruments and equipment in many previous lives, but they are all after the 2010s. To be honest, the similar machines today are a generation behind the ones he has come into contact with in later generations. After all, they are at least seven or eight years earlier. More or less there will be a difference.

Moreover, Gu Zhe had quit the front-line research and development work for more than ten years in his previous life, and he had dabbled in many circles, and he had forgotten many things. He really needed to review the past to learn the new.

After half a day's work, it was late in the evening, and it was impossible to finish the work in one day. Gu Zhe also ordered his subordinates to call it a day, and asked Ye Xiaomin to arrange a private room for those technicians to have a good meal in the evening.

As for Gu Zhe himself, he didn't go to this kind of entertainment, he was uncomfortable, and the employees would also be uncomfortable.

On occasions like eating, it is really fun to have no boss present, and it is punishable to have a boss.

Ye Xiaomin is only in charge of the finances, and usually doesn't care about these administrative chores, but on Saturday, the administrative staff don't have to work overtime, so she was asked to make a guest appearance, which is not considered messing around.

After making the phone call, Ye Xiaomin informed Gu Zhe and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

Gu Zhe asked casually, "How much do these devices cost? Forgot?"

Ye Xiaomin shook his head and smiled wryly: "There are seven sets of scientific research equipment in total, the most expensive ones are the Zeiss UVC radiation machine and the laser shock equipment imported from Germany, which cost nearly 90 US dollars in total, and there are five other sets of equipment that are cheaper, but seven sets cost more It sounds like 200 million dollars less. The speed of your spending is really not slower than making money.

Most of the money that Essilor called in October was spent on this, as well as other expansion and basic investment of the laboratory.

Didn’t Ari Baba’s Boss Ma call you again a while ago to remind you? They all thought that you didn’t plan to exercise your rights for the 300 million US dollars agreed with Sun Zhengyi to acquire 3% of Ari Baba’s equity. "

Gu Zhe took a sip of water, took a deep breath, and then calmly said: "Let him wait, the three-month payment period is the three-month payment period, and I will exercise the option this month.

Things have to be prioritized, Essilor's money is in place in batches, of course I have to do things in batches-in fact, this is the reason why I have to do research on materials in the contact lens industry first, and now I am entering the polyester lens industry.

The cost of these UVC radiation equipment and laser equipment alone is at least an order of magnitude higher than the cost of centrifuges and optometry machines required to make contact lenses.

When there is only 20 US dollars, you can only develop contact lens materials first, and you can only open this hole when you have several million US dollars.By the way, you remember my caliber to the outside world, saying that all the uses of these things are prepared by me for the research and development tasks of Youyou’s family business. Of course, if you can’t say it, don’t say it. This is just to teach you a rhetoric when you have to. , be prepared. "

Ye Xiaomin nodded, thanking the boss for his trust very much.It seems that although I don't understand technology, I can actually serve as the chief financial officer for Brother Gu, and my degree of trust in these technical issues is still much higher than those doctoral experts.

Out of kindness, she couldn't help expressing her concerns to the boss in a chatty tone:
"Brother Gu, you said that now you have the capital to do research on polyester lenses, I understand that. But from a financial point of view, the establishment of a project should not only be based on costs, but also on benefits.

I don't know much about technology, but I think the market size of contact lenses and frame glasses should be an order of magnitude.Maybe the frame glasses market is bigger, so there shouldn’t be a tenfold difference.

However, in terms of research and development costs, the hardware investment and personnel expenditure required to produce a new resin lens material seems to be an order of magnitude higher than that of contact lens research.Does that mean that the final yield of resin lens research will be greatly reduced?
One is to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars and finally earn back several tens of millions of dollars in patent licensing fees.One is to spend a few million dollars in investment, and finally earn more than 1000 million dollars, or maybe 3000 to [-] million dollars in profit.Although it is also very profitable, is the multiple less exaggerated? "

A project that can earn five times as much as the cost of experimentation without mental investment is worth investing in.As for other insiders, if you tell them that there is such a project, which can make a steady profit and ensure success, they will definitely break the bank.

But when it comes to Gu Zhe, it's a rubbish project if you don't count the brainpower investment but only the hardware investment, and five times the profit. What he did before started with dozens of times the huge profit.Who made him the most valuable thing is the dry stuff in his mind, the experimental hardware is relatively worthless.

Gu Zhe heard the girl's worries, and it was a little funny. He really didn't see the cruel world outside, and he followed him as soon as he came up.

He couldn't help showing his head and killing him: "You, you followed me when you first came into contact with work. After a long time, you don't know the sufferings of the people. As far as my project here, the hardware investment rate of return, it will not be robbed outside. broken head.

And, things are not what you think.In the glasses industry, the market size of frame lens materials and contact lens materials does not differ by dozens of times.

But you have to learn to penetrate the phenomenon to see the essence of the problem. The biggest difference in physical properties between resin and gel lies in durability and stability.We used to make gel-type contact lens materials, but in the final analysis, they were mainly centrifugal soft materials. We can only make low-strength, low-demand, and low-durability materials. How big is the market?
It is impossible for you to dispose of that kind of contact lenses every year or half a year. You can only dispose of them monthly. At most, you can dispose of color contact lenses quarterly, because the color contact lenses are flat and do not require high durability for optical properties.

As for the resin lens, as long as it is not frequently worn or scratched, it will definitely last for two or three years.In this way, not only can we cover more subdivision categories in the eyewear industry, but we may also break out of the eyewear field and develop into a higher-end technology industry.

For example, let’s say that the UVC radiation equipment in front of us is a filter component made by German Zeiss, right?Zeiss makes high-end lenses, which are still mainly made of precision optical glass. Low-end low-durability and low-precision lenses have been robbed by cheap resin lens manufacturers in the market.

It is because low-end lenses only have a shelf life of two or three years. There is no need to grind precision optical glass, and resins that are easier to grind can be used.So now single-layer lenses are replaced by many resins.

Only telephoto lenses with multi-layer lenses, high-power lenses, or high-end wide-angle lenses, such lenses with extremely exaggerated magnification degrees, still have to use optical glass.Just because these things are too expensive, they have to be passed down from generation to generation once they are produced, and they want to use them for five, ten or even longer.

In the field of multi-layer lenses, if resin is used and a certain layer of lens in the middle is aging, the lens must be completely disassembled, and the middle aging deformed refractive index is replaced, and the cost is too high.Therefore, the more complex things need optical glass, the simpler the structure, the easier it is to be replaced by resin.

The essence of research and development of high-durability additive optical materials is to follow the path of "extending and replacing the industrial chain with higher and higher shelf life requirements".

When we do silicone hydrogels that last up to three months, we can only replace contact lenses.

When we can make high-end polyester that can be used for up to three years, we can not only completely replace the eyewear industry, but also sell low-power surveillance camera lenses to Tiankangwei next door.

When we can make additive optical glass that can be used for up to 30 years, if we can ensure the accuracy of the additively processed things to pass the test, then we can kill Carl Zeiss - of course, I am just talking to you here Speaking of logical principles, I didn't say that this kind of thing can really be developed. "

Ye Xiaomin was a little dazed at the beginning, but the more he listened later, the more respectful he became. It turned out that Brother Gu had thought so far in the beginning, everything was in his plan, and he had a global map in his mind.

She couldn't help but sigh with admiration: "If you say these words earlier, it will boost morale and stabilize people's hearts. Now that the project has been started for a while, only those R&D personnel are very confident.

Anyway, as long as they can use the money to publish articles and apply for patents, they don't care so much about the company's profits.People in other departments and positions also need to be encouraged. "

Gu Zhe thought about it, and it made some sense. Before, he was too busy and focused on doing scientific research by himself, so he didn't expect the mentality of other people to build a team.

"Tomorrow, the few of you, mainly Jing Jing, will all call out, let's all have a meal and have fun, and I will unify our thoughts for everyone. They who are engaged in the market should also build up confidence and broaden their horizons.

After the work of patent licensing and sales is over, they can also relax. Then let Jingjing and the others pay attention to new potential customers. Don't just focus on eyewear companies, but also pay attention to camera companies and low-end lens companies.Familiar with the customer's work, the layout and maintenance of the leading technology should have been launched for more than half a year. "

Seeing that her suggestion helped the boss, Ye Xiaomin was also very happy, and she was encouraged to say a few more words: "By the way, you have disguised the use of these equipment as the research and development needs of Youyou's family's meltblown technology. Can you hide it?" Is there anyone living below?"

Gu Zhe Zhizhu smiled triumphantly while holding the ground: "Who said I'm going to pretend, the follow-up research and development of the meltblown technology on Youyou's side, after I freed up my hands recently, I was going to go to the layout.

It's just that, over there, they have to rely more on their Mingyuan International's R&D personnel, which requires the cooperation of both parties.It's not your business to ask, so go and arrange the business. "

Ye Xiaomin quickly accepted the task, first made a phone call with Lin Jingjing and the others, contacted the follow-up arrangements, and then helped Gu Zhe plan the progress of the recent payment, and helped Gu Zhe make an appointment with Ali Babama Boss, you don't need to mention the details when dealing with the final exercise of shares.
