Age of Dreams

After the DreamPadMini's laboratory test and assembly are successful, it is time to talk about the procurement of parts.

As a global super large group company, Fairy Company has hundreds of parts suppliers, who are responsible for the parts of Fairy Company's various products. The longest time is Fairy Company's DreamPad.

Xiao Qi intends to expand his component supplier camp, and now the same component is distributed to several companies for production.

Anyway, the production is according to the specifications given by Fairy Company. If it is suitable, it will be accepted, and if it is not suitable, it will be returned directly. If it fails several times, the supplier qualification will be cancelled.

Fairy Company's profits to component suppliers are very generous, about 15%-25%, which is already a very high price in the highly competitive electronic component industry.

The profit margin of Apple's CPU chip orders to Samsung is only less than 5%. After two years of doing it, Samsung finally became impatient. After asking for a price increase to no avail, it completely parted ways with Apple.

But this is the general market situation, the more orders, the lower the price will be.

Therefore, everyone knows the value of Fairy Company's orders, and no one dares to take it lightly and miss the order.

Therefore, for so many years, except for a few times, the parts and components of Xiannv Company's products have been guaranteed according to quality and quantity.

Xiao Qi decided to follow DreamSnow's approach to the DreamPadMini parts order, half of which was to try to ensure the interests of the original parts suppliers, and the other half was to find new suppliers.

However, this is a long-term idea, not suitable for today's DreamPadMini situation.

The reason is simple. A quarter of the components of Xiannv Company’s products are provided by Japanese suppliers. Although Xiao Qi has gradually searched for new suppliers in the mainland and Baodao, there are many components with advanced technologies. None of these things can be achieved by the mainland and Taiwan. Only Japan can do it in the whole of Asia.

For example, electronic compass, gravity accelerometer, high-end flash memory chip, camera, audio chip, etc. Now DreamPad3 and DreamStars3 still use Japanese products. In the past two years, Xiao Qi has found many manufacturers and wants to replace them. Unfortunately, The last technology is not very good, at least not for now.

The price range of DreamPadMini is about the same as that of DreamPad3, so it is natural to choose the best components.

The DreamPadMini assembled now has hundreds of samples of each component. The above-mentioned categories are still made by companies such as Toshiba, Hitachi, Asahi Glass, and SONY.

Other companies also sent out samples of the same grade, but the subtleties still lost a grade.

Compared with the past, the order is naturally to be given to these companies in Japan.

But now comes the problem.

Many people think that Japanese factories are located in Osaka and Kyushu.

In fact, there are many factories there, such as Toyota Lexus automobile factory, SHARP TV factory, Mitsubishi heavy industry factory and so on.

However, Japan's factory industry, especially the smart electronic chip industry, is more located in the Kanto industrial park, on a large piece of land going north from Tokyo. These factories provide a steady stream of smart electronic products all over the world. Parts and complete products.

80% of Fairy's parts manufacturers' factories in Japan are located in Tochigi, Chiba, Ibaraki and other Kanto areas.

This is also an important reason why many smart electronic products in the world were out of stock after the 311 super tsunami.

What Xiao Qi needs to consider now is whether they have the ability to complete the task on time after placing an order for his DreamPad Mini.

The disaster is an irresistible factor, but the 311 super tsunami and the most important nuclear radiation pollution are man-made factors - Tokyo Electric Power's dereliction of duty has caused the Fukushima nuclear power plant to have great hidden dangers, so it encountered this kind of disaster. The tsunami disaster directly exposed the problem.

If Xiao Qi places the order and cannot complete the task by then, the one who will suffer the most will naturally be Tokyo Electric Power. They will be sued by many manufacturers, and it is impossible for the judge to sympathize with them. It is very common to convict them not based on the facts. matter.

Don't doubt, Japan also has this kind of public anger that affects legal judgments.

Of course, the Japanese's ability to deal with crises is still good.

Although the Heisei boys have lost all the face of the Showa boys, the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Inagawa Club and other associations have actively played their roles and resumed production and life in the shortest possible time-although many things have returned forever. No, but the living people can calm down from the panic and slowly return to normal. The great functions of these associations cannot be ignored.

The most important thing in factory production is electricity, and the Fukushima nuclear power plant provides power support for the surrounding industrial parks.

The tsunami not only put the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in a desperate situation, but also paralyzed other power plants and power transmission systems, so the shutdown of the factory was so helpless.

Xiao Qi doesn't have a lot of memories about this aspect.

He only remembered that the Japanese tsunami caused various difficulties in his previous life, but he never had a specific understanding of how much the Japanese tsunami had affected these smart electronics manufacturers.

However, according to the character and handling ability of the Japanese, it should generally take a month or two to recover.

However, the production of the product in the past two months has definitely come to a standstill.

Let alone the DreamPadMini, the components of DreamPad, DreamStars, and DreamSnow will fall into a situation where there are no parts available and no way to assemble them.

If these products cannot be sold for two months, it will be a great blow to Fairy Company.

Xiao Qi hadn't thought about this issue before.

But what do you want Xiao Qi to say?

Hurry up and move the factory for me, because the super tsunami is coming, the nuclear leak is coming...

If you say that, not to mention whether people believe it or not, even if you believe it in the end, then the question arises, how did you, Xiao Qi, know?

This involves the biggest secret of Xiao Qi's reincarnation and rebirth. Compared to this secret, the mere two-month production of the product has stalled, which is nothing worth mentioning. ——Besides, Fairy Company is not the only one involved in this matter. Many of Apple's key components are also produced in Japan. They were the ones who suffered the most in their previous lives!

In order to keep the secret of his reincarnation and rebirth, not only could Xiao Qi not tell others in advance, but he also had to pretend that he didn't know anything, which was reasonable.

In fact, the boy was already a little too good in the two xx and xx.

But fortunately, the disaster is in Xiao Qi's hometown, and Xiao Qi has been making various preparations from the beginning, so when the disaster strikes, this kind of behavior of moistening things silently will not cause too much controversy, and people will not be more concerned about it. what to think.

The next disaster is also in Shuchuan, and everything that needs to be arranged has already been arranged, and it is only a xx disaster, so I don't worry too much.

Besides, Xiao Qi didn't have any memories of the catastrophe that Huaguo encountered, so he could only adapt to the situation in the future.

Leave this aside.

DreamPadMini is going to be released in June, and the preparation of materials must start in March, and it will enter the formal assembly and production stage in April.

If Japanese component manufacturers cannot provide it, it is easy to delay production.

Of course, it's not that serious. After all, even if the assembly starts in May, the first batch of DreamPad Mini will not be out of stock when it comes out in June. At most, the shipment will be a few days late.

I believe that there is a reason for the Japanese tsunami, and customers will not care too much and protest.

On the Fairy Company side, it is unlikely that these parts manufacturers will be held accountable for their breach of contract, but on the other hand, Xiao Qi has long been prepared, just in time to blow a person he hates very much to step down.

There are still some problems with the parts in Japan, but there will be no worries about parts in Huaguo.

In terms of batteries, Xiao Qi is still planning to do it for Jinwei Lishen, Biyadi and Yinhuang Electronics. Their factories in Vietnam can once again expand their scale.

Let part of Vietnam's land suffer from industrial pollution, and the other part of the land provides Hua with all kinds of food. This is a very good thing.

In fact, if he didn't hate Indonesia too much, and the situation in Indonesia was too chaotic, Xiao Qi would also plan to relocate some parts supporting factories to Indonesia.

In terms of foundries, Xiao Qi is not prepared to hand over the assembly tasks to the current major foundries. There are many foundries waiting to be fed in China. Last year, Dai Xian also inspected several foundries. , production line, etc., all have very good strengths, as long as they exercise a bit, they should be able to make good products.

According to the expected shipment of 15 million units a month, there is no problem in supporting the three foundries. This will add another 100,000 workers in Rongcheng, and the industry of supporting facilities can also drive more than 300,000 jobs. But a very good economic pull data.

Leaving aside the benefits that Rongcheng has received, the assembly orders of tens of millions of DreamPad Minis alone are enough to cause a series of open and secret battles in the industry.

According to Xiao Qi's generous treatment of the foundry, if he can get an order, the benefits he will get will be very generous! (to be continued ~^~)
