Chapter 77 Supply Chain Crisis

After Su Youjie and Wu Lei resigned.

The product R\u0026D team leader of Xinghai Company is the former deputy team leader Zhou Kun... Chen Jin feels more at ease with him.

In addition, the HR department is releasing recruitment information recently, recruiting a large number of technical personnel, including hardware engineers, software engineers, testing and other positions, and a total of hundreds of people will be recruited.

The remuneration offered is very generous. Those with more than five years of work experience can get an annual salary of one million yuan; those with three to five years of work experience can get an annual salary of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan; ...The salary and treatment are at the top level in the industry.

For those who come to the interview before, all travel expenses will be reimbursed.

All of a sudden, there were a lot of applicants, and in just a few days, enough talents were recruited.

By the way, why does Xinghai company recruit so many technicians?

The research and development project of "Wow Robot 2.0" was officially launched.

That is, the research and development of the second-generation Wawa robot has officially started.

At the project kick-off meeting, Chen Jin, the president of Xinghai Company, proposed the following key technical indicators——

1. The algorithm is upgraded, the cleaning mode is more intelligent, no need to clean ten times for the first time, there is no scene limitation, and it is more convenient for users to use

2. Developed the "Enterprise Edition" exclusively for enterprise units, as an important supplement to the civilian version

3. Add wireless charging function, charging is safer

4. Increase the social mode, add "joy", "angry", "happy" and other voice packs, you can perform singing and dancing

5. Join the obsessive-compulsive disorder mode, once there is garbage on the floor, clean it up immediately

In addition, the second generation of Wow Robot will carry out product segmentation and provide three configuration versions of "low-end", "middle-end" and "high-end", and the corresponding prices are 3,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan... and all consumer classes All make friends.

The various improvements of Wawa Robot 2.0, compared with the ultimate form of Wawa Robot in Chen Jin's mind, are just a regular upgrade of "squeezing toothpaste". He still has many killer functions that have not been added.

Even so, the 2.0 version of Wawa robot still has strong market competitiveness.

At least those friends who are preparing to copy (plagiarize) Wawa Robot 1.0 can once again throw out a position and establish a solid lead.

When friends and merchants catch up again, Wawa Robot 3.0 is about to come out.

If some peers have counterfeit capabilities, they can also use legal weapons to defend their own interests... You must know that in terms of intellectual property rights, the state has stepped up protection in recent years.

In short, in terms of market competition, Chen Jin is not afraid of threats from his peers at all.

Coupled with excellent product quality and the support of a large number of fans, Xinghai will firmly occupy the vast majority of the market share in the area of ​​sweeping robots.

In addition, the research and development cycle of Wawa Robot 2.0 is about 3 months. If there is any technical bottleneck in the middle, Chen Jin will solve it.

so……

Steady.

Only two words can be used to describe it.

Therefore, in his spare time, what Chen Jin studies most is calculating how much money he can earn.

By the way, how much money does he make?

Is it really the same as he calculated earlier, he can earn about 800 yuan for each wahwa robot?

With a wry smile.

Chen Jin sighed and said, "It's hard to make an entity!"

"If you knew it earlier, you should investigate it in advance to find out the cost of each link. You can't be too naive and take everything for granted."

Take the fruit mobile phone known for its huge profits as an example. Its latest fruit XS Max, the highest version sells for as high as 13,000, but what is its comprehensive hardware cost? However, it is only a little more than 3500 yuan, and the hardware cost accounts for less than 30% of the selling price. It seems that 70% of the profit can be earned.

But after deducting a series of costs such as research and development, assembly, software, advertising, distribution, taxation, etc., such a fruit phone, the fruit company, can only get a net profit of about 3,000 in the end.

That is, the hardware cost is 1, the intermediate cost is 2, and the profit is 1... The profit only accounts for 25% of the selling price of the mobile phone.

The above is talking about the mobile phone industry, and the example given is the fruit known for its huge profits. As for other mobile phone manufacturers, a net profit margin of 5% is considered excellent.

So what is the actual net profit margin of the wow robot developed by Xinghai Company?

Chen Jin asked his professional mother to help him calculate.

Omit the extremely complicated calculation process.

Excluding all costs, the actual net profit margin of Wow Robot is 15%... on the premise that the selling price is set at 3699 yuan.

In other words, Chen Jin can earn 555 yuan for each wow robot.

In addition, for the first batch of 500,000 Wawa robots, Chen Jin gave users a discount of 300 yuan, and subsidized Lingfeng Precision Company by 15 yuan (this subsidy has been canceled now after the yield rate has increased).

That is to say, for the first batch of 500,000 Wawa robots, Chen Jin only earned 240 yuan each, making a total of 120 million yuan.

This is the result of Xinghai Company saving a large amount of expenses in advertising, research and development, distribution and other intermediate links!

It's not even as good as Jinshengyuan jewelry store, which sells hundreds of kilograms of gold a month and earns more.

"Make friends, really make friends!"

The difficulty of the real economy can be seen from this!

But Chen Jin still had no choice but to continue doing this. Yes, he didn't make much money, but at least he was stable and stable, and his heart was full and energetic.

In addition, taking the route of small profits but quick turnover, let the Wawa robot enter thousands of households, and achieve a total sales volume of 20 million units. If multiplied by 555, he can also become a billionaire.

However, a phone call shattered his sweet dream immediately.

On the phone, Wang Quanlong, chairman of Lingfeng Precision, said in an extremely flustered tone:

"Mr. Chen, there is a big problem in the supply chain!"

"A few days ago, I sent people to Japan to negotiate and order a batch of brushless motors and mechanical arm moving parts, each of which placed an order of 3.3 million pieces. The contract had already been negotiated, and the price was more favorable than the previous batch. , can be delivered immediately.”

"But I don't know what happened just now. The negotiators of the two Japanese companies suddenly turned their backs and said that they can only provide 1 million goods, and the price has been increased by 50%. If they don't agree, the cooperation will be terminated!"

"Mr. Chen, this must be some domestic counterparts who are working with the Japanese devils! They want to restrict our supply chain and kill us! Wow robots have been pre-sold 2 million units. If the supply chain supply at this time If we can’t keep up, we will fall into great passiveness!”

"Mr. Chen, this is a big crisis we are facing!"

What?

Chen Jin was taken aback!

"Don't panic, don't panic first!"

He quickly calmed down and asked, "Is there no other supplier that can replace the brushless motor and the moving parts of the robotic arm you mentioned? No domestic company produces them?"

"No!"

Wang Quanlong shook his head and said: "There are several companies in China that can produce brushless motors, but the quality is not as good as that of Japan's Yaskawa Electric. There are big differences in service life, speed, stability, etc., and they cannot replace Nissan temporarily; For arm moving parts, there are not many companies in China that do this, and the quality is so far apart that we have searched all over the world, and I am afraid that we cannot find a second supplier other than FANUC."

"Mr. Chen, we were too careless. This time, we were really beaten up to seven inches!"

Speaking of this, Wang Quanlong gritted his teeth, heartbroken: "Why, why some traitors in China just can't compete fairly in a down-to-earth manner, why do they always want to take advantage of outsiders?"

Chen Jin on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.

Wang Quanlong's expression of defeat and frustration was not on his face.

He just murmured, "Is it really irreplaceable..."

His eyes suddenly lit up: "I don't think so!"
