After receiving a satisfactory reply from Fairy Company, fans celebrated wildly on the Internet. The emotions that had been suppressed for several days finally burst out. Everyone felt so relieved.

They were happy, but they didn't know that the Fairy Company was in a bit of a mess now.

It's not that Xiao Qi's previous firm production plan and sudden announcement of an additional Spring Festival gift sales plan made them lose their sense of proportion.

It doesn't matter if we increase the production once, but the supply of hundreds of large and small parts needs to be completely re-planned.

After receiving the call, parts suppliers were happy to sell more parts, but with the sudden increase of so many parts, they had to renegotiate contracts with their own downstream parts and raw material suppliers.

Moreover, this data cannot be determined now at all. It needs to wait until February to finally determine the quantity. Xiao Qi’s order is that by that time, produce as much as you can, so only after the Spring Festival gifts are sold, can you finally determine the need.

How much quantity to add.

But according to the information provided by Fairy Company, it should be at least 20 million sets, plus 10% of various losses, 22 million sets is the most basic.

Fortunately, the quantity will be known in February, and it will be easier to prepare. If they were to prepare in October or November, then even if they are very capable, it is impossible for everyone to get it together.

Among these parts suppliers, the most difficult one is naturally the sapphire glass screen.

Xiao Qi specially purchased technology patents in the United States, and also spent a lot of money to buy a company in the United States and merge it into Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory. With the addition of his own technical reserves, he finally managed to build a company suitable for mobile phones.

The sapphire glass screen used is ground out.

Since the technology was his own, Xiao Qi directly imported equipment from abroad and set up a sapphire glass screen factory and a sapphire optical factory in Chengdu. Half of the technicians came from the United States, half from his own laboratory, and the workers came from

The glass factories in Rongcheng and surrounding areas are all skilled elites.

I originally thought that the cost of a sapphire glass screen would be about US$10, but when it came to mass production, I discovered that a sapphire glass screen could not be made for less than US$15.

&nb Company's glass cost only 2.5 US dollars, but now it has increased five times, which can be said to have significantly increased the cost.

But even so, it is still much less than the additional cost of US$50 per unit as speculated by the outside world.

If the cost had really increased so much, it would have been impossible for Xiao Qi to agree to the sapphire glass screen entering the substantial production stage.

The price is now bearable.

If the production quantity is larger, the technology improves further, and the yield rate is further improved, I believe it is completely expected that the cost will be reduced to US$12.

Price is still a secondary thing. The key is that the output of sapphire glass is not high at all.

Now the factory has only 8 production lines in total. Since a large amount of work is controlled by automated computer programs, the number of labor required is not much. There are only a few workers and engineers in the factory, but the output can reach a monthly output of about 1.5 million yuan.

As usual, all parts will have 10% inventory. In addition to the guarantee of yield, there is also the need for customized versions, so the quantity of 1.5 million pieces of sapphire glass is a bit tight and definitely not rich.

There is no doubt that such a production quantity has been calculated by Fairy Company early on. They believe that a monthly output of 100,000, using so many production lines, and so many workers is enough. If there are more, it will be a huge waste.

.

Even if sapphire glass is used in dreampads and dreamsnos in two or three years, it will only happen in the future. It would be a waste to prepare in advance now.

It was only two months from the successful research and development of sapphire glass at the end of July to the successful trial production of the factory in August. During this period, it was impossible for the sapphire optical factory to store much inventory.

According to the information Xiao Qi obtained, they only officially started large-scale application production in October, and it was not at full capacity.

What's terrible is that the yield rate at that time was only 70%, and the losses in this area reached hundreds of millions. If it were replaced by an ordinary factory, it would probably not be able to survive.

It was only in November that their yield rate increased significantly, but even so, it is estimated that by the end of November, the inventory will only be 1.8 million yuan at most, which is basically the same as Mingxing Electronics and Red Sea Factory.

It just matches the normal production schedule.

Want to stock up on more items?

Disaster!

Their factory is fully equipped and well-staffed, and they have been in the factory business for many years. With three shifts of overtime work, the extra parts can definitely be produced.

But the sapphire optical factory has just been established, and the employees have just started working. They have just adapted to two shifts, not to mention that there is no way to add instruments and equipment in a short while. Even if the machines are shipped from the United States immediately, then

After shipping, equipment installation and debugging, etc., it will be at least two months later... What is the point of increasing production after two months?

Therefore, they can only work with the current machine. Therefore, the most practical way is to recruit more employees, lead the new with the old, and turn the two shifts into three shifts. Only if the loss and yield rate are not considered, can there be some success.

possible.

As long as we can survive the three months of November, December, and January, it will be easy to maintain the output of 1.5 million yuan in the future, and we can even use some time in February to supplement it.

The general manager of the sapphire optical factory is Zheng Pingfei, a senior technical talent hired by Fairy Company from Zeiss Optics in Germany. He is also the director of the sapphire glass screen project team. He also has some experience in production. He is responsible for preparing the entire factory.

.

When Xiao Qi came to the sapphire optical factory located 5 kilometers south of the Red Sea factory, he was busy in the factory workshop.

Zheng Pingfei was one of the quickest people to know about Fairy Company's plan to increase production of Dreamsta3 by 2,000,000 units. As a talent who came back from Germany with strong obedience skills, his first thought was not "This problem is so difficult."

It's "how can I do it".

So he spent the past two days with a group of technicians in the workshop, looking at every detail that could be improved, and calculating how to increase production while ensuring quality.

Three shifts is the most basic, as well as some debugging of equipment, and arrangements for workers' rest breaks...etc., these must be considered.

"If we want to achieve the goal, we need at least 120 more workers." Standing outside the workshop, Zheng Pingfei reported to Xiao Qihui, "There is no problem for them to join. They are not required to do the main work. They only need to be assistants."

It’s good that the important things are controlled by our skilled workers and engineers. But there is a problem. After the production increase is completed, these workers will be redundant. It is not difficult to feed them, but it is also a waste.”

Sapphire Optical Factory's orders now only come from Dreamsta3, but with a monthly booking volume of 1.5 million units, plus a selling price of US$15 per piece, and a 20% net profit, the monthly volume is 315 million.

With such a high profit, even if the average salary of factory workers reaches 18,000 per month and the salary of engineers exceeds 5,000, the monthly salary expenses are only more than 1,000 yuan.

With the addition of 12o workers, there is absolutely no pressure.

But Zheng Pingfei thinks this is not good. If the factory is too idle and the workers are not actively working, then work efficiency will drop significantly.

Xiao Qi nodded when he heard this, "Let's do this. Most of our engineers will return to the laboratory anyway. You can seriously train the potential workers among the existing workers. If they can take over the job, then increase the number by 12o

There’s nothing wrong with people, right?”

"This is a way. Most of them are college students, and some have master's degrees." Zheng Pingfei nodded, "But these controls are very delicate. I don't know how many of them can pass the test."

"Skilled technical workers are all trained and trained. How can they be qualified from the beginning?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "In addition, these workers can still adopt the last elimination system. If they are really unsuitable, we can also eliminate them.

Decentralize to the second line to do warehouse packing, transportation and other tasks."

"It costs more than outsourcing, but it's also good. At least you don't have to burn the bridge when you run out." Zheng Pingfei also agreed with Xiao Qi's point of view.

"Speaking of which, will it be difficult to recruit these workers?" Xiao Qi asked.

"It's not difficult at all." Zheng Pingfei chuckled, "Didn't we recruit a lot of people in the glass factories in Chengdu and surrounding areas before? Their friends and colleagues are very envious! The direct salary here is 18,000,

Those people don’t even have 8,000. It’s such a big contrast, and the factory belongs to Fairy Company. Who wouldn’t want to come over? As long as we let the wind go, many high-level skilled workers will definitely come over.”

"Then let's poach people! It would be a waste to put these talents in state-owned enterprises," Xiao Qi said.

Regarding the overstaffed and sluggish situation in state-owned enterprises, Xiao Qi also knows that these good workers will not let down their talents until they are on a better platform.

"I'll do it right now, and I'll make sure all the people are in place within a week!" Zheng Pingfei said with a smile, "These skilled workers are so good, they basically don't need any training, and they can get started quickly!"

"So much the better."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly, "In terms of quality, don't let up. Sapphire glass is one of the most important parts of Dreamsta3, and the quality is definitely second. The quality cannot be damaged in any way because of the speed."

"Don't worry, Qi Shao. There are a total of six checkpoints in the quality inspection here. There may be fish that slip through the net on the production line, but it is not easy to go out through the six checkpoints." Zheng Pingfei said, "We have specialized

The equipment and personnel are watching this matter, and there will definitely be nothing wrong."

"Well, do it well, including in the laboratory. In the future, sapphire glass can be used in mid-range mobile phones. By then, the funds and bonuses of your project team will be even more abundant!" Xiao Qi said with a smile.

Zheng Pingfei was all smiles when he heard this.

Who doesn’t want to have more funds if they are doing research?

And as a person who relies on work to support his family, who doesn’t want his salary to be higher?
