Taking over the electronics factory, you actually created an industrial empire

Chapter 49 Stand up and give me a sample within half a year!
"The nagging is over, let's talk about the most important purpose of coming here today! I have decided that we need to start our mobile phone research and development!" Sheng Huainan put away his smile and said seriously.

coming! coming! coming!

Everyone knows the main event is coming!

Although everyone was prepared, the mood was still in turmoil. I didn't expect Sheng Huainan to really start the research and development of mobile phones!

In fact, they also discussed in private the development model of Shangsha Electronics in the later stage. Some said they would develop PC computers, some said they would develop laptop computers, and some said they would continue to stabilize the current situation, but most of them felt that Sheng Huainan was so Young, with his temperament, will definitely not follow the rules and take his time, and will definitely be the crown of electronic products, mobile phone research and development.

Today, this day, has finally come.

The mobile phone is really not something that can be developed just by thinking about it.

The mobile phone industry has not yet started an arms race.

However, there are many projects that burn money in the research and development of mobile phone technology, such as purchasing expensive equipment, hiring excellent talents, applying for patents, and testing products.Different mobile phone manufacturers have different R&D investment ratios. Generally speaking, it is the highest in later generations, reaching 11.49%, and Pingguo is the lowest, only 5.1%.The reasons for burning money in technology research and development are similar, mainly to maintain innovation capabilities and competitive advantages, and improve product quality and user experience.The company that spends the most money on research and development in the world is Google, with a research and development investment of 294.15 billion US dollars!

The cost structure of mobile phone technology research and development mainly includes two parts: one is research and development costs, and the other is material costs.

R&D costs refer to the manpower, equipment, patents and other expenses used to develop mobile phone software and hardware. This part accounts for a relatively high proportion, generally more than 10%.

Material cost refers to the components used to assemble mobile phones, such as screens, chips, cameras, batteries, etc. This part also accounts for a high proportion, generally more than 70%.There are also some auxiliary costs, such as transportation, marketing, after-sales and so on.

Now that Shangsha has removed Sheng Huainan's part of the company, there are only about 5000 million yuan, not even a fraction of Google's. Now we are going to forcibly launch such a giant project. Are you sure it will work?
This is the question that arises in everyone's mind.

The research and development of a mobile phone takes as long as one year. The current R&D team costs about 3000 million in salary for one year. If the mobile phone team is launched, the team will be doubled and an additional 6000 million will be added!
R&D alone is worth [-] million yuan a year.

Research and development is really burning money!
This is not counting marketing costs, R&D material waste costs, software support costs, shipping costs, and other costs.

At the beginning, Wang Mo and the others felt that the A round of financing was timely, with a turnover of tens of millions, and could easily stabilize the cash flow for a year, but now they did not expect that the money was not enough. , Not only is it not enough, it is still stretched!

"Mr. Sheng has to think about it. According to one-year calculation, if we still have a gap of tens of millions of funds on the basis of stabilizing the current sales volume, this is still under the condition that the research and development goes well. If it doesn't go well, our tablet computer But it can’t support such a huge cash flow, if you don’t think about the source of this money, it will be fatal.” The three bosses look at me, I look at you, and finally the oldest Wang Mo said Out of doubt.

"Old Mo, it's not that I'm going to blame you. You guys are executives who want to help me solve problems, not ask me questions. The last time I asked you to connect with Gao Chun from Red Shirt Capital, you got stuck in your ass You three must understand a problem, this is my problem, but it is your trouble!" Sheng Huainan snapped angrily.

He recruited people here, not to cause trouble for him.

These questions can be raised by any veteran in the workplace, but the role of executives is to solve these difficult problems and open the channel to the right direction at the same time!

You can give investors ABC three options to choose from, and let investors decide the final direction of progress, but you don’t raise a problem, and then ask investors to solve the problem themselves, so what do you want executives to do?
Find a cheaper manager, less than [-] yuan, and you don't have to care about the messy ideas of these watery executives.

How good!

"I was wrong, boss! Last time, the red shirt said that our company can try to carry out overseas debt financing, but since our company has not yet been listed, the cost of this part may be relatively high. I know people very well, we can negotiate for a factory mortgage loan, but the amount may not be too high, it is estimated to be only about 1000 million, and the tablet business is still growing at a high speed, and this is the bulk of the increase.” Wang tacitly said wrongly.

Sheng Huainan nodded.

Now that Shangsha is in the growth stage, he will not dilute his equity at will. Now that he has the A-round evaluation of Hongshan Capital, he can lend a sum of money. The main operation needs to be discussed with the government, which depends on the regional government. support.

The God of Wealth doesn't even want to support it, so should Shangsha stay in Yuzhou?
Shangsha Electronics is now in the sandy area, and it can be regarded as a large-scale enterprise.

There may be overseas bonds, but he doesn’t report his hope, and Shanghai Sha Electronics is not listed. Those foreign investors who gave him US dollar bonds would see hell.

The main thing is to rely on himself!
Research and development is burning money, and it depends on who can persist until the day when the dawn is seen.

Sheng Huainan couldn't help feeling a little headache, the owner of a small company is like this, he has to rely on himself for everything!
After the problem of money is over, another big problem is the cost of technology research and development.

The biggest part of technology research and development costs is trial and error.

What is burned is the cost of trial and error. Everyone knows the example of the research and development of the atomic bomb. Just a big Ivan will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the cost of trial and error.

At this time, everyone was silent, and everyone looked at him curiously, knowing that Sheng Huainan actually had an idea in mind.

Seeing the doubt in their eyes, Sheng Huainan had made up his mind, took his notebook, showed them the draft of his unfinished mobile phone, and said, "You can take a rough look, this is just a preliminary product design, There is still some work to be done in the later stage.”

Shi Yongxin took the computer in surprise, and after flipping through a few pages, his views on Sheng Huainan immediately changed drastically.

He originally thought that Sheng Huainan would rely on his laurels to carry out a simple design on the basis of a tablet computer, or start as a mobile phone for the elderly, and change the mode and track, but he did not expect that he played a trick this time.

Code is a boring thing, but it is also an art, an art that is close to mathematics.

For example, a certain function on the program is a math problem. Different technicians have different ways of solving the problem. Not everyone can solve this problem, and not everyone has the most labor-saving solution. Therefore, when a programmer sees better code, it is like a mathematician sees a better way to solve a problem, and can immediately see the level of the other party.

Shi Yongxin just read a few pages of code, and felt that Sheng Huainan was stronger than himself. If he asked himself to write the code according to the same requirements, even if he wrote it, the length would have to be doubled!
The length of the code not only represents the programmer's mastery of technology, but also represents the logic ability of the programmer. The most important point in development is logic.

The more streamlined, more direct, and clearer the logic of the code, the more it represents the opponent's strength, even talent and attainments.

But Sheng Huainan's related superficial code, hell, it's too perfect!
"This mobile phone has a completely different design concept from all current products. This immature draft is a completely subversive design. Unexpectedly, Mr. Sheng already has a mature direction!" Shi Yongxin exclaimed in shock.

This is a mobile phone, not a large MP4, and the difficulty of research and development increases exponentially!

"You don't have much time, and you have a concept plan. I ask your R&D center to produce samples for me within half a year!" Before leaving, Sheng Huainan said lightly.
