Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 50 Factory

Time soon entered September. With the cooperation of a group of engineers, and using the gambling machines purchased from RB as a reference, Midea Electronics Company quickly produced five prototype machines.

After the machine came out, it still needed a lot of testing, so all employees ran over to play with it when they had nothing to do, testing various probabilities and playability.

"Give these toy drawings to Yao Mingcheng and register the patent globally." In the office, Xu Zhi handed a stack of paper to Lin Siqi.

Lin Siqi nodded: "Okay."

Lin Xuefei, who was sitting on the side, said: "Xu Sheng, the claw machine is almost completed. Now we are using a traditional relay control system, but only by using relay components imported from Japan and Germany can the effect meet your requirements. But that's it. The cost is a bit high.”

Xu Zhi asked: "Can these electrical components be purchased directly from the manufacturer?"

Lin Xuefei shook his head: "Major companies have general agents in every place, and the same is true here in Xiangjiang. It is impossible to bypass them and buy by yourself, unless the quantity is really very large, otherwise it is impossible."

Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "Would it be much cheaper to use a circuit board?"

Lin Xuefei said: "If we produce mass production in the future, the circuit board will be much cheaper. However, there is a problem with the circuit board. There is no manufacturer in Xiangjiang that can make it, and this is not a standard circuit board. We have to go to RB to order it specially." Therefore, if the production volume is not enough, it will not be cost-effective.”

The industry here in Xiangjiang is mainly light industry, with basically no technical content. At this time, the most exported industries in Xiangjiang are garments, textiles, electronic products, watches and plastic products.

Why can these industries develop? In fact, it is very simple. These are light industries among light industries, and the factories in Xiangjiang are mainly office buildings. Slightly complex production lines are not suitable for this environment at all.

Strictly speaking, the circuit board production line is not considered a heavy industry, but it has extremely high environmental requirements (particulate matter) and is not suitable for office building models. More importantly, it has high technical content and high investment costs. There is no such company here in Xiangjiang.

There is one over there in Wanwan, but the electronics industry there is still in its infancy, and the technology is not yet stable.

Xu Zhidao: "Then we will use relay control first, and we will see how the market develops later. If the market is big enough, we will make circuit boards. Now that the company has just started, there is no need to do it all at once. By the way, how is the preparation of the factory? "

Lin Siqi replied: "Qin Gong has already debugged some equipment there, and has hired almost 20 employees."

Because it is a new concept product, the claw machine has been invented a long time ago. Xu Zhi just changed the use, so legally there is no patent at all. What he wants to seize is an opportunity. He can win as many markets as he wants. , In the future, we have to rely on real skills, so the factory cannot outsource it for the time being and can only do it by itself.

Fortunately, Xu Zhi's idea was to only build an assembly company, and all the materials needed for the doll machine would be purchased from outside. At this moment, Xiangjiang is a small time factory of light industry and electronics. All kinds of products can be purchased, and some Products that need to be customized, such as casings, tracks, etc., can also be made by manufacturers.

Of course, Xu Zhi also asked about these things. Although he is the boss, he still doesn't care too much about these details. After all, people's energy is limited.

But including renting factories, factory renovations, equipment purchases and research and development, the funds on Midea's books dropped very quickly.

After Lin Xuefei and other technicians left, Xu Zhi asked: "Have you still not received the dividend from Jiahe?"

Lin Siqi shook her head and said: "Yao Dazhuang has asked several times, but the other party keeps delaying, and instead keeps urging us to reach an agreement with Jiahe as soon as possible."

Jiahe's agreement naturally hopes that Xu Zhi's Changxing Company will become a satellite subsidiary of Jiahe.

The satellite subsidiary is Golden Harvest's first venture in Hong Kong. Before Chou Wenhuai founded Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers was the only one. All actors, directors, and producers were equivalent to workers on the production line. At most, they would be awarded a big red envelope when the box office hit. , As a result, many truly capable people are trapped in this model and cannot make money.

After Li Xiaolong failed to make a career in Hollywood in the United States, he returned to Hong Kong and wanted to work with Shaw Brothers. However, the negotiation completely broke down due to the price. Golden Harvest took the initiative to come forward and proposed a share-sharing model, which later became popular with Tangshan Brothers.

Later, Li Xiaolong established his own film company and cooperated with Jiahe.

But at that time, it was still a cooperative model. Later, Jiahe became stronger, and cooperation basically turned into surrender.

According to the agreement proposed by Jiahe to Changxing Company, all Changxing Company's films require Jiahe's approval, and each party will invest in half. After the filming is completed, the release and overseas distribution will be the responsibility of Jiahe. However, only Changxing can handle the films that Jiahe does not like. I invest by myself, but Jiahe still has to handle the issuance.

This kind of routine is simply a delicacy for stars or directors who have always been accustomed to the Shaw Brothers assembly line. Although a movie can only get 20 to 30% profit in the end, it is much better than taking dead wages and red envelopes.

However, Xu Zhi obviously refused to agree. Several negotiations on behalf of Changxing by Yao Mingcheng completely broke down. After Jiahe received overseas dividends, they refused to send the money to Changxing in accordance with the original agreement.

Xu Zhi naturally knew the reason behind it, and said to Lin Siqi: "Ask Yao Mingcheng to come over, and we will go to Jiahe headquarters together, and ask him to bring the copy."

Lin Siqi asked: "What copy?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Just tell him like this, Yao Mingcheng knows what it is."

Lin Siqi agreed and quickly made a call.

An hour later, Yao Mingcheng came downstairs, and the three of them set off together.

Xu Zhi pointed to the road and said with a smile: "Let's go this way, first go to the factory, and then have a meal before going to Jiahe. Otherwise, the time will be too awkward. We are going to ask for money. I guess Zou Wenhuai won't be so generous as to treat us to dinner." .”

Yao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Okay, by the way, Xu Sheng, both South Korea and the United States have information. South Korea has offered 3 million Hong Kong dollars to buy out all Drunken Master movies and videos. There is no talk about the release of Drunken Master in the United States. Later, their theater chains simply refused to accept our Xiangjiang movies, but one company was willing to sell Drunken Master video tapes in areas where Chinese Americans gather, but they were only willing to pay $200,000."

Xu Zhidao: "Drunken Master's box office in RB exceeded 6 million US dollars. The Korean guys are too stingy, only 3 million Hong Kong dollars."

Yao Mingcheng said: "Yes, I said so too, but South Korea's economy is far inferior to RB. It may be difficult to use RB as a reference."

"Shit!" Xu Zhi couldn't help but complain in his heart. South Korea's economy was indeed far inferior to RB at this time, but South Korea's movie broadcast was very strange.

In Hong Kong, no matter how popular a movie is, it is unlikely to be released for more than a month, but in South Korea, a movie can often be played for half a year, so in real history, the box office of Drunken Master in South Korea is almost more than 6 million US dollars, and RB Pretty much the same.

But having said that, it is indeed using their theater chain for a long time, otherwise the box office would not be like this.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhidao said: "If you go and talk about it, just a little more will be enough! As for the United States, let's not talk about it. They are too insincere."

Yao Mingcheng said: "Okay, I understand."

The three of them quickly entered the factory, which was a twelve-story office building. Xu Zhi's factory was located on the sixth floor. In fact, the first layer is the best, but the good ones are not only expensive, but also rare, and you can't find them in a short time.

The equipment in the factory is almost complete, and all kinds of wires and gas lines have been completed. One advantage of industrial office buildings is that many resources are shared, such as high-pressure gas. If it is a separate factory, just purchase an air compressor. Investing would give Xu Zhi a headache.

As a mechanical engineer, Huo Haiqing had been assigned as the workshop director. When he saw Xu Zhi and his party coming in, he came over and said: "Xu Sheng, look, the exhaust pipe here is where we installed it, and the warehouse over there is... "

After listening to the introduction, Xu Zhi asked: "How many units can we produce in a day now?"

Huo Haiqing said: "If all the accessories are in place, it is estimated that we can produce 3-5 units a day now, mainly because the personnel are not familiar with it. After stabilizing for a period of time, we should be able to guarantee 15-20 units a day. Of course, more will be needed." There are many people. But because of the space here, it is difficult to improve it unless we increase the area or build a new workshop."

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "We will decide later whether to add a workshop or not. We will be responsible for the market, and Huo Sheng and you will be responsible for controlling the quality, so that we have no worries."

"Okay, no problem." Huo Haiqing assured with a smile.

Xu Zhi walked around the workshop for a while and said, "Huo Sheng, come and have dinner with us. You have worked hard during this time."

In order to prepare the workshop in advance, Huo Haiqing has stayed up late and worked overtime for several nights until ten o'clock. You can imagine the hard work involved.

Huo Haiqing smiled and said: "Okay, I know there is a hot pot restaurant nearby, what do Xu Sheng think?"

Hot pot restaurants are the favorites of Xiangjiang people. Don’t tell anyone, many people cook small hot pots at home. Xu Zhi can’t stand it because the fumes at home are too heavy.

It would be no problem if it was normal time, but it would be bad if I had to go to Jiahe later and the hot pot smell would be too strong, so I refused and said, "The hot pot will be next time! We will have other things to do later."

Huo Haiqing nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go eat fast food.

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, let's go."
