Fairy Company now has a total of two factories, producing dreampads and dreamstars respectively, and is also preparing for a third w factory.

Of course, the production of Dreampad, Dreamstars and W are not ordinary models, but customized limited edition models.

Dreampad's nine models of colorful, gold and pink models are all produced in Fairy No. 1 Factory. 10,000 workers work hard to ensure that these limited editions are supplied to the global market.

Fairy Factory 2 produces Dreamstars, but since the mass production started at the end of last year, due to insufficient production, Fairy Factory 2 has produced ordinary versions of Dreamstars.

In May of this year, the super earthquake broke out, and the production of Dreamstars Red Sea Factory and Fairy Factory No. 2 was suspended for several months, resulting in insufficient production. Therefore, Fairy Factory No. 2 did not start making the limited edition products they should have made from the beginning until early September.

version dreamstars.

The limited edition Dreamstars are no longer just different in color, because Dreamstars already come in black, gold, silver and pink.

If we make some color changes, it won't make much sense and it will appear to overlap with the dreampad's creativity.

But it doesn’t matter, Xiao Qi is reincarnated. He has already thought about what he wants to do with the limited edition of Dreamstars.

That is - real gold, silver and platinum, diamond version!

That’s right!

There are versions with frames and back made of gold, versions with frames and back made of silver, versions with frames and back made of platinum, and versions with frames and back entirely inlaid with diamonds.

And the back shells of these four limited editions cannot be disassembled.

Otherwise, others can casually take away your real gold, silver, platinum, and diamond outer shell. Wouldn’t that make you want to cry without tears?

This is incredible.

Although they are just shells and frames, which are basically decorations, it is not something that ordinary people can do if they can polish these fine frames into real gold, silver, platinum, or even inlaid with diamonds without cutting your hands.

Yes.

For training alone, Xiao Qi hired a specialized craftsman to train for more than three months. They usually spend half a day at work making the ordinary version of Dreamstars, and half a day learning crafts such as polishing and assembling.

Then there is the selection of materials and equipment.

Xiao Qi specially ordered all the machinery and equipment from Germany and Israel. Xiao Qi spent a full 1 billion US dollars on these hundreds of machines and tens of thousands of sets of equipment alone!

Gold, silver and platinum are easy to buy. After you buy them, use a special machine to stamp the molds and press them into rough embryos, then slowly polish and trim them, and finally assemble them into a mobile phone.

There are great requirements for the fineness of the process, and this is no better than the nine models of dreampad, because the fineness is higher, and the softness and hardness of gold and silver are completely different from the previous aluminum alloys, so the process

It's a lot more complicated and requires a lot more manpower.

The workers for the gold limited edition, silver limited edition and platinum limited edition have been trained by craftsmen in eastern Guangdong for three months, which is still a small amount.

Because among the limited editions, the most difficult one is the diamond version.

The first is that materials are rare. With so many machines, it is impossible to make every carat-measured diamond. So how many people can afford it?

So use broken diamonds.

Although all kinds of broken diamonds are cheap, Xiao Qi requires them to be white, pink, yellow, blue, red...and other colors, which makes purchasing more difficult.

Then diamonds are relatively sharp. How to polish them to keep the diamonds sparkling while allowing users to feel comfortable when holding and touching without cutting their hands will completely test the sophistication of the machine and the final details.

Fine-tuned craftsmanship.

The machine can perform preliminary polishing and trimming. But in the end, manual repair and fine-tuning is still necessary to ensure the final feel and sparkle.

Moreover, this kind of craftsman's craft cannot be mechanized, and it is not something that ordinary workers can operate after only a few months of training - real money can do it.

Therefore, after the people from Fairy Factory No. 2 entered Fairy Company around October last year, the first step was to conduct a screening process. The smart and clever people were selected. From the beginning, they did not join the ranks of making ordinary versions of Dreamstars. They were all made by

Diamond craftsmen from Israel provided training and guidance. Excluding the earthquake relief time, it took almost six months of training before I barely mastered the skills.

By September, 10,000 workers finally got to know each other and were divided into four teams to create silver limited edition, gold limited edition, platinum limited edition and diamond limited edition dreamstars.

However, since this was the first official production, many workers were not used to it at first and could not do it well. It took a whole month of September to produce only more than 30,000 qualified finished products. Basically, one person made three films. On average,

One film takes ten days, but more than 60,000 of them are discarded, twice as many as finished products!

Gold, silver, and platinum are better, just recast the mold directly after melting.

But if you want to set the diamonds and then remove them from the broken aluminum alloy casing, it is impossible. At least, it cannot be removed while keeping them intact. The damage rate is at least one-third, which is not possible.

Just scrap it all.

Fortunately, the workers who made the diamond limited editions also knew this and were very careful when making them. Although the speed was a little slower, the yield rate was over 60%, and the total finished product in one month was more than 2,000 units.

Such a low yield rate has made Dai Xian and other factory managers unable to eat well or sleep well for a month, and they are extremely distressed!

Who can stand to see tens of millions of dollars being wasted like this?

Fortunately, by October, the yield rate has slowly increased.

Although the overall yield rate is still only about 50%, it is much higher than before. The technical craftsmen in eastern Guangdong and Israel finally feel that they are barely qualified.

I believe that if we let them practice for a few more months, the yield rate will remain around 80%, which will be no problem.

After completing the training, Xiao Qi did not let the craftsmen from eastern Guangdong and Israel go, but hired them as technical supervisors. As long as any of them feels that any limited edition Dreamstars is unqualified, then it must be taken back

Disassembled and redone.

the reason is simple.

People spend a lot of money to buy your limited edition, but you come out with substandard quality. This is completely destroying the brand!

I would rather be harsh than muddle along!

However, when the factory manager Dai Xian gave Xiao Qi the operating status information, Xiao Qi still looked at it and shook his head.

This kind of luxury limited edition is indeed a serious waste of resources and manpower.

My Fairy Factory No. 1, which employs 10,000 people, works hard every month and can produce 2 million dreampads.

But looking at the current situation, Fairy Factory No. 2 is making luxury limited edition Dreamstars. It can produce a total of 100,000 units in a month, so I should be satisfied.

Since it is such a waste of manpower and material resources, if the price is higher, I will definitely be sorry for myself.

So Xiao Qi thought about it and took a look at the prices of pairs from the British luxury goods customization company IE in his previous life. They were basically 3,500 US dollars and up. This was only talking about the gold version. The platinum version and the rose gold version were more expensive.

.

Then someone like Xiao Qi can be called a "price-minded businessman". Although considering that his shipment volume is definitely not comparable to that of IE, at this time IE has not yet released a limited edition. As the first luxury limited edition

The manufacturer, Xiao Qi, is of course more expensive.

Finally, on October 31, just before the start of the advertising plan, Xiao Qi finally set the price for the limited edition, which is also the 32g version.

The silver limited edition dreamstars are priced at US$1,888, accounting for 40% of the total limited editions.

The gold limited edition dreamstars are priced at US$3,888, accounting for 30% of the total limited editions.

The platinum limited edition Dreamstars is priced at US$5,888, accounting for 20% of the total limited editions.

Diamond limited edition dreamstars vary according to the color and quality of the diamonds used. The price ranges from 12,888 to 18,888 US dollars, which together account for 10% of the total number of limited editions.

The price is the global unified selling price before tax. In mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, you will no longer enjoy any discounts.

After all, the cheapness of Xiao Qi's Fairy Company products is based on ordinary fans, but now they are super luxury goods. Why should he be polite to the rich?

The cost of my machinery is as high as 1 billion US dollars. How can I recover the cost if it is not expensive?

The more polite you are, the more unhappy others might feel?

how?

You think I’m not as rich as foreigners, so you insist on giving me a discount?

Pooh!

Let me tell you, kid, I am not short of money!

All right.

The above words were what Xiao Qi thought of himself, but he was very confident when he thought about the mentality of rich people, because in his previous life, he had seen too many rich people on video websites who were arrogant and arrogant.

Regarding Xiao Qi's pricing, a group of middle and high-level executives at Fairy Girl Company had some doubts.

Gold, platinum and diamond limited editions are just that, after all, they are real luxury goods.

But the converted RMB price of the silver version is close to 14,000, which seems very expensive. After all, the average selling price of the ordinary version of Dreamstars is only 4,800, which is almost twice as much!

Can it be sold at such a high price?

Xiao Qi is no nonsense about this. Anyway, advertising will start on November 1st. Let us speak with facts! (To be continued)
