Chapter 396: Developing Borderless TV, a Cool Operation
BYD TV factory's annual production capacity of tens of millions is also calculated based on 12 hours a day.

I can only say that some manufacturers these days still have a conscience. Most of them operate 12 hours a day and stop working at night.

But since Foxconn started operating 24 hours a day, the entire industry has been forced to follow the 24-hour system.

There is no other way. For the same order, an ordinary factory with a 12-hour system takes 4 months to deliver, while Foxconn with a 24-hour system only takes 2 months. How do customers choose?

Definitely choose Foxconn, after all, time is money and time is profit!
As a result, Foxconn will take away all the orders and customers, and other foundries will starve to death. If they want to avoid starvation, they can only follow the 24-hour system!
It is for this reason that electronics factories and OEM factories in the past were forced by Foxconn to adopt a 24-hour work system.

Moreover, the production continues 24 hours a day, and one factory can be used as two factories, thus maximizing the company's benefits.

For example, the BYD TV factory has a monthly production capacity of 12 million under the 24-hour system. If it can produce 2000 hours a day without stopping, it can produce 12 million per month, which is doubled, equivalent to two -hour factories!

In fact, it is normal to not stop production for 24 hours, but what is abnormal is working in two shifts!
If the workers work in three shifts for 24 hours, they will work eight hours a day and rest 16 hours. This way, the pressure is less and the workers are more relaxed. If the night shift pay is subsidized a little, the workers will not have many objections.

But unfortunately, most companies have no conscience and work in two shifts 24 hours a day in order to save costs!
Work 12 hours, rest 12 hours, they treat the employees like slaves.

No one can stand standing or sitting for more than ten hours every day for a long time.

This is why there is a constant stream of employees committing suicide by jumping off buildings due to depression.

If the employees work in three shifts, work 8 days and rest 16 days, and are paid adequately, they will not become depressed, let alone jump off the building!
But capital is ruthless. In order to save money, they have to work in two shifts even if it means working like an ox or a horse.

After all, three shifts would require half as many employees!

If we have half more employees, we have to pay half more social security benefits, half more full attendance and basic salary!
But the two-shift system is different. It directly saves half of the employees, half of the social security benefits, half of the full attendance and basic salary, and at most you can pay more overtime pay.

Save a lot of money!
However, even so, many people say that Foxconn is a relatively conscientious company.

I can only say that this is a worse era.

Similarly, the Xingyi TV factory also faces production capacity issues as well as cost and efficiency issues.

If the Xingyi TV factory and the BYD factory continue to produce for 12 hours, their annual production capacity will only be 2000 million units, which is not enough.

If the production is carried out in three shifts without stopping for 24 hours, the annual production capacity will reach a terrifying 4000 million units!

Fully doubled.

In this way, not only can the domestic production capacity crisis be alleviated, but more production capacity can also be exported overseas!

Currently, the domestic production of LCD TVs is over 90 million units per year, of which 60 million are sold domestically and more than 30 million are exported overseas.

Xingyi TV is so powerful, coupled with the brand influence of Xingyi Technology, if it were sold globally, the overseas sales would probably be even more terrifying than domestic sales.

According to Wang Yi's budget, the annual sales of Xingyi X40 and Xingyi X50 combined will easily exceed million units in China, and there is also hope that it will exceed million overseas.

Therefore, the two major factories operate 24 hours a day and can handle an annual output of 4000 million.

In addition, the Phase II factory in the island city will be put into production in half a year, with an annual output of 24 million units per day, bringing the total production capacity to million, which will be able to meet global demand.

Therefore, the 24-hour system of Xingyi TV Factory is a last resort, otherwise it will not be able to meet the needs of the global market.

It is also impossible for Wang Yi to invest in building three TV factories again.

But Wang Yi is much more conscientious than Foxconn. Even if production does not stop for 24 hours, he will work in three shifts!
Even if it means spending half more on social security, benefits, basic salary, and full attendance, employees must work 8 days and rest 16 days!

In his previous life, Wang Yi had been a slave. Now that he has the ability, he naturally has to treat his employees well.

There is one train from 6am to 2pm, one from pm to pm, and one from pm to am the next day.

Working in three shifts, we only work eight hours a day.

Such a system can allow employees to have enough rest time and free time without having too much workload.

Wang Yi made up his mind that the three-shift, eight-hour work system would be the standard for the Xingyi TV factory in the future.

The same is true for the Xingyi mobile phone factory.

Wang Yi then completed the signing with BYD.

At this point, the entire BYD TV factory has completely become the third largest factory of Xingyi TV.

As for the second largest factory, it is naturally the second phase project of Xingyi Industrial Park.

BYD successfully obtained 1 billion yuan in funds and recovered its losses in one go.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. BYD's decision to make TVs was a strategic mistake. If you hadn't acquired the TV factory, we don't know how many years it would take us to get our investment back. I will always remember this kindness." Shopkeeper Wang said solemnly.

Business owners fear strategic mistakes the most. A strategic mistake can be disastrous.

Like Hisense in its previous life, it regarded laser TV as its core strategy, which resulted in a tragic market value.

Otherwise, as the country's number one TV leader, Hisense's market value in its previous life would have exceeded 100 billion yuan long ago. Why is it only 30 or 40 billion yuan?
After all, Hisense’s revenue is as high as 100 billion!

On the contrary, TCL has made correct strategic decisions all the way and is now ranked fourth in the country, but ten years later it has become the undisputed second!
Wang Yi looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said earnestly, "The government has reduced subsidies for new energy vehicles, which has made things worse for BYD. I know this. But as long as BYD sticks to its original aspirations, it will one day become a super giant in new energy vehicles. Instead of trying all kinds of methods and developing recklessly."

"I am optimistic about BYD because of its new energy vehicles and power batteries, not its OEM business. After all, no matter how good BYD's OEM business is, it is still not even one-tenth as good as Foxconn's."

Wang Yi spoke these words sincerely.

Last year, Wang Yi made it clear that he opposed BYD's diversification strategy.

But at that time, Manager Wang didn't listen. He just thought that Xingyi Technology could do it and that they, BYD, could do it.

I just think that if Xingyi Technology can make mobile phones, BYD can do it too. If Xingyi Technology can make TVs, BYD can do it too...

Until this year, both the mobile phone business and the TV business were halved. They were declared to be closed before they even started, and all the huge investments were wasted.

Coupled with the decline in car sales and the reduction in subsidies, BYD's core automotive business revenue and profits collapsed across the board, and its stock price almost halved.

Only then did Manager Wang begin to face the reality and began to feel that Wang Yi opposed BYD's diversification for BYD's sake, not because he was worried that BYD would become a rival of Xingyi Technology.

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your guidance. I have learned a lot." Shopkeeper Wang said modestly.

Wang Yi waved his hand and sighed: "The future is an era of refinement. This is true for any industry. Only by being the best can you survive and live a comfortable life. The era of extensive development is over. It has no future."

That’s all I have to say. As for what BYD will choose, Wang Yi doesn’t care.

If you listen, BYD still has a bright future.

If BYD still thinks about diversified development, its future will be full of twists and turns.

Afterwards, Wang Yi and Manager Wang came to the R&D headquarters together.

"Mr. Wang, this is Du Qingming, the R&D manager I hired from Changhong. He's very experienced. Now I'm handing him over to you along with the entire R&D team."

"Okay." Wang Yi nodded.

Du Qingping quickly extended his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for giving me the opportunity. I will definitely make a better TV to repay you!"

Wang Yi smiled and did not comment.

"Mr. Wang, you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore. I have booked a banquet tonight, and I hope you will come and attend." Shopkeeper Wang said tactfully.

Wang Yi had just taken over the new factory and R&D team, so he must have a lot of things to arrange. He also had to have lunch with the R&D department and factory executives. As an outsider, it would be difficult for him to disturb them.

"Okay, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight." Wang Yi said with a smile.

After seeing off Shopkeeper Wang, Wang Yi looked at the people in the room.

There are R&D personnel as well as factory managers.

At this time, the factory manager Fan Chengxin spoke first: "Mr. Wang, I am the factory manager Fan Chengxin. The employees are all ready and can start work at any time."

Wang Yi nodded and said, "Very good. The factory will be renamed Xingyi TV Shenzhen Industrial Park. You arrange for people to connect with the team from Xingyi TV headquarters and arrange the production of Xingyi TV X40 and X50 as soon as possible. At the same time, continue to recruit people, recruit a large number of people. In the future, the Shenzhen Industrial Park will work in three shifts 24 hours a day. There will be no stopping of workers, and the work system will be eight hours a day."

When Wang Yi came to sign the contract this time, he also brought a team from Xingyi TV headquarters to be responsible for the subsequent work.

Throughout the Shenzhen Industrial Park, Fan Chengxin is still the factory director, but other senior positions such as finance will be replaced by their own people.

As for the newly acquired factory, Wang Yi naturally had to place enough trusted confidants in it to keep a firm control over everything.

"Okay, Chairman, I'll make arrangements right now!"

Fan Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Wang Yi did not replace him was the greatest blessing.

Naturally, he didn't dare to have any second thoughts. He was clear about Wang Yi's style. If he went all out and made achievements, then the position of factory director would be secure.

If you can't do it, it's over.

"Okay, the factory management can go back to work. The R&D department will stay here."

"Yes!"

Fan Chengxin and the management team left and began to deal with follow-up matters and mass production.

Wang Yize looked at the remaining R&D personnel, who happened to be a R&D department.

Originally, Wang Yi planned to pack up all these R&D personnel and bring them all back to Xingyi TV headquarters.

But now I have changed my mind. The factory in Shenzhen also has a R&D center, employee dormitories and a canteen.

Although it is only 250 acres and half the size of the one in the island city, it is also an industrial park. It can be used as the second center of Xingyi TV, no, directly as the headquarters of Wujie TV!

These R&D personnel stayed directly in the Shenzhen Industrial Park to establish the Borderless TV R&D Center.

At the same time, we will continue to absorb cutting-edge talents from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to increase the strength of the Boundless TV R&D team.

In this way, the 500-acre island city industrial park is the headquarters of Xingyi TV. After the second phase is put into production, the annual production capacity will reach 2500 million, and the annual production capacity of 24-hour three-shift operation will be 5000 million Xingyi TVs.

The 250-acre Shenzhen Industrial Park is just right for the headquarters of Borderless TV, with an annual production capacity of 1000 million units, and more than 24 million units operating in three shifts 2000 hours a day. If more production lines are added, it is possible to reach 2500 million units.

Since the successful launch of Xingyi X40 and X50, the TV R&D team in the island city is working hard to develop the next generation, X55 and X60!

和X40、X50不同，X55和X60都有两个版本，1080P和4K版。

At this size, it would be unreasonable not to use 4K.

However, a 60-inch 4K TV is too expensive nowadays, costing more than RMB 1080, so Wang Yi added a P TV.

这样1080P版本的X55和X60，等鲲鹏500量产后，明年年初就能发布。而4K版的X55和X60，则需要等28纳米的鲲鹏700量产后，才能发布。

There is no way. The 40nm Kunpeng 500 SOC cannot support 4K and can only support 1080P.

The borderless R&D team in Shenzhen can directly develop borderless TV.

Like the Unbounded mobile phone, the Unbounded TV is also a mass-market product that targets the mid-to-low end.

For example, a 40-inch borderless TV costs 3499.

50-inch borderless TV, 4999.

The configuration is a little lower, and it is 1500-2000 cheaper than the Xingyi TV, which just widens the price range.

Combined with the rapidly growing Xingyi specialty stores, and by bringing borderless TVs to towns and villages, the sales prospects are promising.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi looked at Du Qingping and others and said slowly: "Welcome everyone to join Unlimited TV!"

"Boundless TV?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Wang Yi smiled and said, "In fact, in addition to the high-end brand Xingyi, Xingyi Technology also has a mid-to-low-end brand Wujie. For example, the price of Xingyi mobile phones will be in the 5,000 yuan range in the future, while the price of Wujie mobile phones will be below 3,000 yuan, which is a boost to sales."

"Similarly, Xingyi TV is also in the mid-to-high-end market, with prices ranging from 4999 to 6999. Wujie TV is in the mid-to-low-end market, with prices around yuan cheaper than Xingyi TV."

"Of course, the configuration and materials of the Boundless TV are lower than those of the Xingyi TV, but the sales volume may be higher. Our Xingyi specialty stores have opened in towns and villages, and by then, the Boundless TV will definitely be the main sales force."

Upon hearing this, Du Qingping and others' eyes lit up and they sensed the key.

At present, Xingyi TV’s headquarters has been established, the R&D center has also been established, and the team is stable.

Even if they go, they will only be the second team, just a foil, and it is questionable whether they can integrate into the team.

But now, borderless TV is just getting started, the R&D center for borderless TV has not been built yet, and there is no team.

Once they join, they will be the founding team of Unbounded TV, and he, Du Qingping, will be the R&D director of Unbounded TV!

Damn, you have a bright future!

There are two laws in the workplace: There can't be two tigers in one mountain.

Du Qingping went to the headquarters of Xingyi Television, but he couldn't get the position of CTO or even deputy director.

But if he stays at Unbounded TV, he will be the CTO.

It's a bargain no matter how you think about it.

I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!
Du Qingping immediately said: "Thank you Chairman for giving us the opportunity. We are willing to join Unlimited TV and become the Chairman's second sword to develop and develop mid- and low-end smart TVs!"

"Yes, we'd like to join."

Other R&D personnel also wanted to understand this principle and spoke up.

Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction. He liked working with smart people.

"Very good. From now on, Shenzhen's TV Industrial Park will be the headquarters of Unbounded TV. This R&D center will be the Unbounded R&D Center. And you will be the core R&D team of the Unbounded R&D Center."

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Du Qingping will serve as the R&D director. Later, I will select a deputy director and several capable people from the Xingyi TV R&D Center to help you develop the borderless TV!"

Hearing this, Du Qingping felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy.

To his delight, Wang Yi valued him and appointed him as CTO.

Sadly, Wang Yi does not completely trust him and will even transfer a deputy director.

The meaning is very clear. Let them compete. If Du Qingping is strong, he will naturally secure the position of CTO.

If Du Qingping is just a name for nothing and lacks the ability, then he will have no choice but to step down and let the deputy director take his place!
Wang Yi always does things perfectly.

Opportunities are given, but requirements and challenges are also arranged simultaneously.

Du Qingping took a deep breath and instantly understood Wang Yi's strength, and nodded immediately:

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will never let you down!"

"Very good!" Wang Yi patted Du Qingping on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, the salary will be in accordance with what BYD promised you before, and there will be no reduction. However, the confidentiality agreement and non-compete agreement must be signed at the same time. If you do not accept, you can leave now."

"I accept." Du Qingping spoke first. Such elite R&D personnel are well paid, so naturally they need to be subject to more restrictions. This is the industry practice.

In fact, he also signed it when he joined BYD.

But now BYD has given up its TV business and sold it to Xingyi Technology, and both parties have cancelled the non-compete clause.

"I accept it too." Others spoke up.

You have to sign any company you go to. In comparison, Xingyi Technology is more reliable, has the most promising future, and has the best financial prospects.

"Very good." Wang Yi waved his hand, and the assistant immediately sent the agreement that had been prepared long ago to everyone.

After a while, the contract was signed, and Wang Yi continued:

"Welcome to join Xingyi Technology and become part of the R&D team for Boundless TV. Now let's talk about the R&D plan for Boundless TV."

"Like the Xingyi TV X40 and X50, the Borderless TV is also developed in one generation and comes in two sizes: A40 and A50."

"In terms of configuration, the A40, 40-inch, processor is the self-developed Kunpeng 500 quad-core processor, which has better performance than NVIDIA's Integra 3. It is expected to be taped out in October."

"What? We have a self-developed quad-core processor? It's more powerful than Nvidia's T3?"

Du Qingping was startled, and the others also opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Of course, Xingyi Semiconductor has been established for almost a year, so it is natural that there must be output!"

"Awesome, really awesome!" Du Qingping was filled with emotion, and then his mood became very good. Following such an enterprise, it is so damn promising!

Fortunately, he had the audacity to ask Manager Wang to sell him to President Wang, otherwise he would be an unemployed loser now, or go to other departments of BYD and make a living doing a job he is not good at.

But no matter which one it is, it’s not good, very bad.

But now, the future is limitless.

"I am such a talent, hehe." Du Qingping was so happy that he thought to himself:
"No, this opportunity is rare. Even if I have to work so hard that I vomit blood, I have to develop the Unlimited TV well, and it would be best if I could beat Xingyi TV!"

"Well, a low-profile player beats a high-profile player, that's amazing."

Then, Du Qingping thought of a key question:
"Chairman, after the mass production of Kunpeng 500, will the processor T40 of Xingyi TV X50 and X3 also be replaced with Kunpeng 500?"

"meeting."

"Then the high-end Xingyi TV and the low-end Wujie TV both use the same Kunpeng 500 chip. Will this make users turn to the cheaper Wujie TV?"

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Of course not. Although the Unbounded TV is also Kunpeng 500, we will limit the frequency and lock the frequency of Kunpeng 500 through an algorithm to make it a low-power version. Of course, there will be differences in the naming."

"The low-end chip on the Boundless TV is called Kunpeng 500."

"And the full-blooded Kunpeng 500 on the Xingyi TV, we changed the chip name to Kunpeng 510!"

The same is true for Xingyi phones and Wujie phones.

Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets are all equipped with the full-powered version of Kunpeng 510.

The Unbounded phone is a low-power version of the Kunpeng 500 with some of its performance locked.

As for why the main frequency was not reduced during the research and development and design?
Naturally, the main frequency is castrated during the R&D and design, which is equivalent to re-developing a chip, which requires re-testing, re-tapeout, and re-mass production...

This would increase the cost, so it would be better to just develop and mass-produce one chip, and then use an algorithm to lock the frequency, making two versions, 500 and 510, with full and low power.

"I see. That's fine then." Du Qingping continued to ask, "Then are there any restrictions on storage?"

"Storage..." Wang Yi thought for a moment: "If there is no limit, it will be bad for the sales of Xingyi TV. If it is limited to 1+4G, it will affect subsequent use and it will be difficult to last for more than three years."

In fact, Wang Yi thought of a solution, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he looked at everyone.

I saw several people starting to think.

"This is a big problem." Du Qingping murmured, and then changed the subject:
"Chairman, why don't we compromise? Xingyi TV has 2+8G, and Wujie TV has 1.5+6G! This configuration is lower than Xingyi TV's 2+8G, but not as slow as 1+4G. It can be used for three or four years, which is enough."

Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Good, let's do it."

Du Qingping's ideas coincide with Wang Yi's, so there is something to that.

Wang Yi continued, "As for the screen, we will replace the imported screen with a domestic screen from BOE to reduce costs. After all, the price is 2000 yuan lower, so costs must be kept under control. The frame will also be replaced with the ultra-narrow frame of the Xingyi TV with a normal narrow frame to reduce costs. You can decide how to research the rest. But I require that the cost be reduced by 1500 yuan, and the experience should not be too bad, at least it should be acceptable."

"Okay, Chairman, leave it to us!" Du Qingping said confidently, "I will ensure that the task is completed."

"Very good!" Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.

Next, we just have to wait for the successful development of Kunpeng 500 and the breakthrough of 40nm process of Xingyi Wafer Factory!

By then, the Xingyi mobile phone Xphone 1pro, Xingyi tablet X1pro, Xingyi TV X40 and X50 will all be equipped with the full-powered self-developed and produced Kunpeng 510 chip!

As for the Unbounded mobile phones and Unbounded TVs, all series will be equipped with the frequency-locked Kunpeng 500!

Although algorithmic frequency locking is a bit shameless, it saves costs.

It would be more costly to develop and mass-produce a low-health Kunpeng 500. It would be better to use full-health ones and lock the frequency.

After all, the more the same chip is mass-produced, the lower the diluted cost.

In fact, this kind of operation is very common. The previous iPad Pro 2024 model had two versions: 12G storage and 8G storage.

In fact, the 8G storage version also has a 12G configuration, but 4G is locked at the system level, so only 8G can be used.
