Age of Dreams

I got a satisfactory answer from the Fairy Company. The fans celebrated on the Internet, and the emotions that had been squeezed for a few days finally broke out. Everyone felt that it was a comfortable one.

They were happy, but they didn't know that Fairy Company was a bit messy now.

It's not that Xiao Qi's previous firm production plan to the sudden announcement of an additional Spring Festival gift sale plan made them lose their sense.

It does not matter if the output is increased once, but the supply of hundreds of large and small parts has to be re-planned.

After the parts suppliers received the call, although they were very happy to sell some more parts, they suddenly had to re-negotiate the contract with their own parts and raw material suppliers when they suddenly added so many parts.

Moreover, this data is not something that can be determined right now. You need to wait until February to finalize the quantity. Xiao Qi’s order is that at that time, you can produce as much as you can, so you can only determine the need after the Spring Festival gifts are sold. How much to add.

But according to the information provided by the fairy company, it should be at least 20 million sets, plus 10% of various losses, 22 million sets are the most basic.

Fortunately, the quantity will be known in February, and it is easier to prepare. If it is prepared in October or November, it is considered that they have great abilities, and it is impossible for everyone to make it.

Among these component suppliers, the most difficult one is naturally the sapphire glass screen.

Xiao Qi purchased technology patents in the United States, and spent a lot of money. He bought a company in the United States and incorporated it into Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory. After adding his own technical reserves, he finally made it suitable for mobile phones. The sapphire glass screen used was developed.

Because the technology is his own, Xiao Qi imported equipment directly from abroad. He set up a sapphire glass screen factory in Rongcheng. The sapphire optics factory. Half of the technicians are from the United States, half from his own laboratory, and the workers are from Yu Rongcheng and the surrounding glass factories are all skilled elites. One

I originally thought that the cost of a sapphire glass screen was around US$10, but when it was mass-produced, it was discovered that a sapphire glass screen could not be made with 15 US dollars less.

In the past, a piece of Corning Oriental glass used by Dreamstars cost only US$2.5, but now it has increased by 5 times, which can be described as a substantial increase in cost.

But even so, it is still much less than the outside speculation that the additional cost of 50 dollars a piece.

If the cost had increased so much, it would be impossible for Xiao Qi to agree that the sapphire glass screen enters the substantive production stage.

The price is now bearable.

If the number of production is more, there is further improvement in technology, and the yield rate is further improved, I believe that this cost reduction to 12 US dollars is completely expected.

The price is still a second thing, the key is that the output of this sapphire glass is not high at all.

At present, the factory has only 8 production lines. Since a large amount of work is controlled by automated computer programs, the number of manual labor is not large. The factory has only more than 300 workers and engineers, but the output can reach about 15 million yuan per month.

As usual, all parts and components will have 10% inventory. In addition to the guarantee of yield, there is also the need for customized versions. Therefore, the number of 15 million pieces of sapphire glass is also a bit tight and definitely not rich.

There is no doubt that such a production quantity was calculated by the Fairy Company early. They believe that a monthly output of 13 million is enough with so many production lines and so many workers. If there are too many, it will be a huge waste. .

Even after two or three years, dreampad and dreamsnow will use sapphire glass, so it is a future thing, and it is a waste to prepare in advance now.

From the successful research and development of sapphire glass at the end of July to the successful trial production of the factory in August, it is only two months from now. During this time, the sapphire optics factory simply cannot store much inventory.

According to information obtained by Xiao Qi, they only officially started large-scale application production in October, and it was not at full capacity.

What's bad is that the yield rate at that time was only 70%, and the loss in this area reached hundreds of millions. If it was replaced with an ordinary factory, it would probably not be able to sustain it.

It was only in November that their yield rate increased significantly, but even so, it is estimated that by the end of November, the inventory will be no more than 18 million yuan. This basically means that they can compete with Star Electronics and Red Sea Factory. The normal production schedule is consistent with that.

Want to stock more?

difficult!

The equipment and personnel of my factory are all well-organized. I have been doing business for many years. It is amazing to work overtime in three shifts, and the extra parts can definitely be made.

However, the sapphire optics factory has just been established, and the employees have just started to work. They have just adapted to two shifts, not to mention that there is no way to add equipment for a while, even if the machines are shipped from the US right now, then After shipping, equipment installation and commissioning, etc., at least two months later and two months later, then increase production, what is the point?

Therefore, they can only work with the current machine. Therefore, the most practical way is to expand the recruitment of employees again, and bring the new with the old. Two shifts will become three shifts. Without considering the loss and yield rate, they will have a little success. may.

As long as you can survive the three months of November, December, and January, it will be easy to maintain the output of 15 million yuan in the future, and you can even borrow a little time in February to supplement.

The general manager of the sapphire optics factory is Zheng Pingfei. The fairy company hired senior technical personnel from Zeiss Optics in Germany. He is also the director of the sapphire glass screen project team. He also has some experience in production. He does the preparation of the entire factory. .

When Xiao Qi came to the sapphire optics factory 5 kilometers south of the Red Sea factory, he was busy in the factory workshop.

The fairy company wants to increase the production of 20 million Dreamstars3. Zheng Pingfei is one of the fastest people to know. As a talented person from Germany with a strong ability to obey, his first thought was not "This problem is so difficult." It's "how can I do it".

So he spent the past two days with a group of technicians staying in the workshop, checking every detail that can be improved, and calculating how to increase output while ensuring quality.

Three shifts are the most basic, and there are some debugging of the equipment, as well as the arrangement of workers' shifts, etc., all of which must be considered.

"If you want to achieve the goal, at least 120 workers will be added." Standing outside the workshop, Zheng Pingfei reported to Xiao Qihui, "There is no problem for them to enter the job. They don't need them to do the main tasks. They only need to be auxiliary. The important things are controlled by our skilled workers and engineers. But there is a problem. After the increase in production is completed, these workers are redundant. It is not difficult to feed them, but it is also a waste of waste."

Sapphire Optical Factory’s orders are now only from Dreamstars3, but the monthly booking volume of 15 million, plus the price of 15 US dollars per piece, 20% of the net profit, is 315 million per month.

With such a high profit, even if the average salary of factory workers reaches 18,000 per month, the salary of engineers exceeds 50,000, and the monthly salary expenditure is only more than 10 million.

With 120 workers, there is no pressure.

However, Zheng Pingfei feels that this is not good. If the factory is too idle and the workers are not actively working, then work efficiency will drop drastically.

Xiao Qi nodded when he heard the words, "Well, anyway, most of our engineers will go to the laboratory. You should carefully train the potential workers among the existing workers. If they can work on duty, then increase by 120. There is nothing wrong with people, right?"

"This is a way. Most of them are college students, as well as master's students." Zheng Pingfei nodded, "but these controls are very fine, I don't know how many of them can pass the test."

"Skilled technical workers are trained and trained. How can they be done right from the beginning?" Xiao Qi smiled, "In addition, these workers can still adopt the last elimination system. If it is really not suitable, we can also treat them. Decentralized to the second line, do those warehouse packaging, transportation and other tasks."

"This will cost more money than outsourcing, but it's also pretty good, at least you don't have to use it up and you can just cross the river and demolish the bridge." Zheng Pingfei also agrees with Xiao Qi's point of view.

"Speaking of which, will it be difficult to recruit these workers?" Xiao Qi asked.

"It's not difficult at all." Zheng Pingfei smiled, "Didn't we dig a lot of people in Rongcheng and the surrounding glass factories? Their friends and colleagues are very envious! The direct salary here is 18,000. Those of them don't even have 8,000. There is such a big contrast, and the factory is owned by a fairy company. Who doesn't want to come? As long as we let the wind go, many high-level skilled workers will definitely come."

"Then dig people! These talents are also wasted in state-owned enterprises." Xiao Qi said first.

Xiao Qi also knows that people in state-owned enterprises are overwhelmed and depressed. Only on a better platform can these good workers live up to their talents.

"I'll do it now, and make sure that all personnel will be in place within a week!" Zheng Pingfei said with a smile, "These skilled workers are good. Basically, they don't need much training, so they can get started quickly!"

"So much the better."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly, "As far as quality is concerned, don’t let up. Sapphire glass is one of the most important parts of Dreamstars3. Speed ​​is definitely the second, and quality should not be compromised because of speed. ."

"Don't worry, Qi Shao, there are six levels of quality inspection here, and there may be fish slipping through the net on the production line, but it is not easy to go through the six levels." Zheng Pingfei said, "We have special The equipment and personnel of the People’s Republic of China are watching this, and there is definitely nothing wrong with it."

"Well, do it well, including in the laboratory. In the future, the sapphire glass will be able to go down to mid-range mobile phones. By then, the funds and bonuses of your project team will be more sufficient!" Xiao Qi smiled.

Zheng Pingfei was all smiles.

Who does research and development do not want to own more funds?

And as a person who supports his family by work, who doesn't want his salary to be higher?

Under the combination of the two, it is really impossible not to work hard! (To be continued.)
