Chapter 17 Outsourcing
The champagne-colored Mercedes-Benz S450 is driving on the road leading to the Yau Tong Industrial Zone.
This top-level configuration SEL6.9 is the top-level configuration model launched in May 1975. Once launched, it has been sought after by wealthy people around the world because of its high price, high level of collision protection, perfect body design, excellent comfort, strong power and easy driving.
In Hong Kong, a place with many mountains and hills, many curves and often up and downhills, the S450's superior driving characteristics are like fish in water, and it can easily leave other cars behind.
Pan Jialiang looked at his watch in the back seat and said to the driver in front: "Old Feng, drive faster."
"knew."
Lao Feng lightly pointed the accelerator, and the speed quickly increased again, and drove forward quickly.
"Look at you, if you hadn't been putting on makeup for so long before you left the house, how could we have to be so anxious! He was so procrastinating, and he had no idea of time!" Pan Jialiang taught his daughter a lesson with a stern face.
"Dad, I'm a girl, what's wrong with Aimei dressing up more? Besides, didn't you let me wear something beautiful today?" Pan Meifeng held her father's hand and pushed and shoved her around and said coquettishly.
"Love beauty? I think it's true that you don't want to go!" Pan Jialiang snorted.
"Dad, it's just a local bun from the mainland. I've gotten lucky and made some money. Why do you have to take me there? It's not that our business can't continue, so I have to ask him. Even if you want to go, wouldn't it be enough for you to go alone? I still have to wear beautiful clothes! What do you think I don't know!" Pan Meifeng pouted and said angrily.
"Dad also wants you to meet more young talents, which is for your own good." Pan Jialiang was a little embarrassed and said quickly, "Although Dad has a factory, it can expand his connections a little wider, and it is for the future business to be more developed. This young man named Guan is no better than the young man in Hong Kong who only knows how to spend his parents' money and can't pull it out in a woman's skirt. It's only been a long time since he came to Hong Kong that he has made a big career. This is not just a little fortune, but a big fortune! You see, the arcades are so popular now that they can't even do business, so they are ready to find someone to work. If this momentum continues, there will be another billionaire in Hong Kong in a few years!"
"Be careful that he climbs high and falls hurt! I heard from Juanjuan that many local factories are now trying to crack his game programs and intend to make counterfeit goods. I think he won't be popular for long, and he is still a billionaire, Humph!" Pan Meifeng pursed her lips and said disdainfully.
"You are wrong to think this way! There are many factories doing cracking, but none of them succeeded! This is what I admire most. Anti-cracking is a technology that only European and American major manufacturers have. I never expected that a new person who just opened a factory in Hong Kong would have such strong technical strength! It is because of this that I am optimistic about his future. No matter what industry you do, you can't swallow. You have to divide it out and let others eat something so that you won't fight alone. He can take the initiative to contact OEM, which shows that this person has foresight, ability, and knowledge of the current affairs. He is not a person who only cares about immediate interests. So as soon as I received the invitation, I immediately agreed. Even if the number of orders at the beginning is smaller, it can be connected with Taiyu Technology as soon as possible, which is equivalent to taking one step ahead of others." Pan Jialiang said proudly.
"Hmph, you men know how to calculate and make plans, you're so bored!" Pan Meifeng was not interested in listening to any business practices, turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the car.
Dad doesn’t make any plans all day long, so how can you have a good life now? The jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes of your mother and you; the expenses of shopping; the tuition fees for studying in the UK; where do you get the huge monthly pocket money? It is precisely because my dad works so hard that you are qualified to be disdainful of other people’s hard work and live the life you want leisurely.
Pan Jialiang looked at his unruly daughter and sighed softly in his heart, leaned against the back seat of the car, closing his eyes to calm down.
When the car arrived at the Youtang Industrial Zone, bypassed a row of industrial buildings, you could see a Tai Chi icon on the roof of a building in the distance, next to it was the Chinese and English name - Taiyu Technology!
The destination has arrived.
Not far from this building, there is also a building that is specially rented from the factory, which is also under the banner of Taiyu Company.
Pan Jialiang knew that the house was an old factory, and this one was a new factory built by Taiyu Company's "Space Invaders" after being sold and made money. In order to expand its production capacity, Pan Jialiang rented a whole building and established a new factory. For the convenience of office and to highlight the strength of Taiyu Technology from outsiders, the company's office location has also been moved here.
There are bamboo shelves on the outside of the building, as if they are doing decoration, and some decoration workers are busy.
It seems that this place will be the headquarters of Taiyu Company in the future.
When the car arrived in front of the building, followed the sign to the parking lot on the ground floor. Pan Jialiang found that there were all kinds of cars parked here.
There are quite a few people coming today!
He sensed a sense of urgency and quickly took his daughter to find the elevator. According to the invitation letter, he arrived at the eleventh floor, which is also the venue for today's OEM confirmation meeting.
"Oh, Lao Pan, you are here too. Isn't this Meifeng? You are here with your father too!" As soon as you got out of the elevator, you saw several people who looked like bosses gathered at the windowsill to smoke and chat. One of them saw them at a glance and hurriedly greeted him loudly.
"Hahahahaha, it turns out that it's Fatty Liu, you are. As expected, you can see you wherever you have the opportunity to get rich. You are so fat, you are not afraid of being tired!" Pan Jialiang laughed and walked into the crowd. When he went over, he saw that he was all familiar with him.
"Hello Uncle Liu, hello Uncle Zhang, hello Aunt Qin..." Pan Meifeng and her father could be so angry that they still asked the elders gentlely in front of outsiders. A group of elders also nodded to her with a smile and praised them.
"Old Pan, I just counted it. I'm afraid there are people from forty or fifty factories who come today. What is this mainland man doing? Does he have so much work to allocate to everyone?" After the politeness, an OEM owner started yelling in a hurry.
They are not here today for communication, and talking about OEM business is the main topic. Seeing so many competitors coming, some people feel a little uneasy.
"It shouldn't be. I have observed just now that although there are many people coming, there are only seven or eight of us who do electronics. Some of the others are from small hardware processing factories, two are from plastic products, some are from electronic switches, some are from production lines, and some are from electronic components suppliers. I think they are eager to expand their production capacity, so they call all the manufacturers they need together, intending to solve the problem at one time." Fatty Liu has the most keen sense of smell and the widest face of people. He knows six or seven out of ten manufacturers inside and outside the venue, and has heard of those who don't know, and knows what they do.
"There are many in seven or eight families, right?" Some people are still dissatisfied with too many people coming.
"It depends on how wide their sales are. I have never seen circuit diagrams and don't understand the complexity. I can't say it now. But I estimate it. The monthly production capacity of our companies is about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, right?" Pan Jialiang roughly estimated the production capacity of each company and speculated.
Today, I am not a big factory, but I am not a family factory. Each company has employees ranging from three to five hundred employees. The technical strength is not high, and there are fewer various auxiliary processing equipment, so I mainly rely on more people to carry out manual work.
For example, there are about 400 workers in Panjialiang factory, with a monthly production capacity of about 3,000 large and complex circuit boards. To expand the production capacity, you need to add equipment or hire more workers.
"They are still preparing to expand their production capacity!" Someone pointed to the building and said to others.
"The capacity is not so easy to expand." Pan Jialiang started from scratch and learned the difficulty. "Their first factory has only been in operation for more than 20 days. In such a short time, we can only get started with rough work, and it is not even a skilled one. It will take at least three months to half of the time to reach the level of a veteran. Now they are rushing to expand their production capacity, even if they fill half of the building, they will have to add a thousand people. In order to bring these new people, they can only draw people from the old factory, and this level is even more conceivable. I think that at least within a year, the production capacity of the new factory can be achieved at 50%. As for improving the yield rate, it will take more time."
"That means, we can do business for at least half a year?"
Many people are still acceptable to this result. Everyone wants to find a long-term customer. They don’t take over OEM business overnight. They need to adjust the production line and allocate workers. If they only work for a month or two, they have to contact new businesses, it will be unworthy.
It's really only one or two months of business, and most of them may turn around and leave, who are patiently doing such thankless things.
"Look at it, see what the constitution of Taiyu Technology is."
With this idea, everyone entered the venue.
The venue was obviously also in a hurry. The walls were temporarily painted with lime, and the load-bearing pillars of the building were not packaged, so they were erected alone in the hall. The seats prepared by Taiyu Technology for each manufacturer were just a table, two chairs, and a few cups of tea in each store, which seemed very shabby.
However, no one disliked it.
They all started from scratch. More than ten years ago, or even a few years ago, many people's initial situation was not as good as Taiyu Technology. Many people worked at home with their parents, wives and brothers, slowly accumulated some family business, and then gradually started.
Who can laugh at whom!
Relatively speaking, Taiyu Technology was able to rent a whole building in less than a month after its establishment. As a factory and office headquarters, it has caused people to lose their glasses.
Now is the critical moment. We will go further and take a broad range of things. If we take a step back, we will miss the opportunity and spend every penny on the edge. To be honest, most manufacturers are satisfied with this shabby meeting. This proves that the company's lofty ambitions are not only about satisfying the current achievements.
Speaking of which, you can count it to a certain extent that you have reached a cooperative relationship with Taiyu Technology. The better Taiyu develops in the future, the more benefits you can get. In this small group, Taiyu Technology is the leader in driving the common development of other companies.
Just as everyone was talking and laughing, a few young people walked into the venue and walked towards the innermost rostrum. Everyone stopped talking and looked at them with a cautious look.
Everyone ignored the people behind and focused their eyes on the person in the lead.
First of all, he is very tall, and his figure has reached the average height of ordinary people in Europe and the United States. Secondly, his figure is very well-proportioned and his limbs are slender. The side face he sees when passing by is a very tough face with a clear outline and full of masculinity.
When he walked, his waist was straight and his neck was straight, neither fast nor slow, and he seemed both steady and imposing.
This is a strong person!
This is the first impression that all those who have carefully observed him.
Guan Fei walked onto the stage and without sitting down, he stood facing the manufacturers attending the meeting, his eyes slowly scanning the audience from left to right.
His eyes were very firm. Every person he had seen had a feeling that he seemed to have seen through him. He faintly became a little afraid.
"Thank you all for attending our OEM negotiation meeting. On behalf of all colleagues of Taiyu Technology, I would like to welcome you!"
Guan Fei's face showed a smile and used a polite sentence as his opening remark.
"Our Taiyu Technology was founded 23 days ago. So far, the "Space Invader" arcade game we developed has sold 382 of them!"
There was a little commotion in the venue.
With a newly established small factory, more than 300 units were sold in 20 days, and the sales reached more than 3 million. Isn’t the monthly sales be four to five million, and a year be fifty to six million?
Many small factories have less than a month’s sales per year!
Inexplicably, the expectations of the following manufacturers for this OEM negotiation meeting have become higher, and some people with casual expressions have gradually become serious.
"Four days ago, we opened an arcade hall in Tokyo and put a hundred "Space Invaders". The turnover on that day was 4.46 million yen (this is a historical fact, not a fictional author), totaling 18,500 US dollars and 100,020 Hong Kong dollars." His voice calmly reported the data.
boom!
The venue became noisy in an instant.
We can't blame them for being rare and strange. This number is really shocking. An arcade hall with 100 game consoles has a daily operating income of HK$100,000. This is not only a shock, but also a crazy thing!
What other factories do they open? They all go to operate arcade halls, and they earn three million yuan a month, and most of them are net profits!
Guan Fei stood on the stage motionless, looking quietly below.
The sound in the field gradually stopped, everyone's eyes shining, staring at his figure tightly, full of expectation.
Chapter completed!
