Age of Dreams

During the trial production, Xiao Qi gave a commissioned production price of US$20 for a Touch Cover. According to the rich and complete industrial chains of Nanwan and Dongguan, their entire material and labor costs, machine depreciation, etc., the total cost But for $14, the profit is as high as 30%.

If Xiao Qi can really give them an order of 3 million units a month, then the monthly profit will be 18 million US dollars, which will be 216 million US dollars in a year, equivalent to more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is really a lot !

If it is done well, if Xiao Qi gives them a few more orders like this, wouldn't it be a net profit of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in a year?

How many companies in Hong Kong have a yearly net profit of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars? 2 billion Hong Kong dollars is not a lot!

But looking at the situation now, something is wrong.

Because Xiao Qi did not let them continue production in February, but asked them to stop, retrain workers, sum up experience and lessons, etc., it seems that there is a tendency to reduce orders again.

If there are fewer orders, it will be a big blow to the ambitious two.

Xiao Qi looked at the two, and said in a harmonious voice: "I wonder if you two know anything about Touch Cover?"

"Of course there is!" Li Xiaochao patted his chest and said, "I am also a person from the genuine electronics industry, and I already know the principles and uses of it well. I have to say, Qi Shao, you are really a genius. Through such a series of simple and complicated The advanced technology can perfectly integrate the keyboard and the magnetic adsorption cover together! Coupled with the amazing appearance layout and industrial aesthetic touch, it is no wonder that such a beautiful and dazzling product as Touch Cover is not a big seller!"

Li Xiaochao is worthy of being a little superman, not only explained the performance of the Touch Cover clearly, but also praised Xiao Qi by the way, the words were very pleasant to listen to.

Yan Chenglong also added: "Although I don't know anything about smart electronics, the engineers of our Star Electronics have agreed that the Touch Cover should be connected to their Dream Pad and Dream Pad2. Typing is very convenient, although it can't keep up with it. A real keyboard. But it is at least about 80% efficient. But it is 10 times better in terms of convenience. After all, it is impossible for any fool to carry such a big keyboard around. Laptops are fine, but the whole machine The size is not suitable, compared to the Dream Pad, it is very bulky."

Although Yan Chenglong doesn't understand the technology of the electronics industry, but he said that ordinary people's sense of Touch Cover is very realistic.

The biggest benefit of the Touch Cover is the functional enhancement. Turn Dream Pad into a laptop you can take with you, not just a tablet for playing.

Then the Touch Cover is very convenient, it is attached to the Dream Pad, it does not take up much space, and can be carried in a small bag, which is completely in line with the current popular concept of mobile office.

As for the beauty, that's the second thing. There is no difference in appearance between the Touch Cover and the polyurethane shell, and the polyurethane shell is popular. Naturally, the Touch Cover has no shortcomings in appearance.

"According to our estimates, Dream Pad and Dream Pad2 users who will actually buy Touch Cover should only account for 30% of the total number." Xiao Qi said. "30% of 12 million, that is 3.6 million a month. Of course. The previous Dream Pad and Dream Pad2 inventory is about 220 million, and there are still 66 million Touch Covers that can be digested within a year. It means that within one year, your orders can reach 4.55 million per month, but after one year, it will drop to 1.8 million."

The expressions of Li Xiaochao and Yan Chenglong changed from disappointment to joy, and then from joy to disappointment, their moods went up and down a lot.

They have been in the electronics industry for several years. Also know the laws of electronic products.

The usual popular time of a product is two or three years. In the future, this popular cycle will continue to shorten.

Fairy Company's products are no exception, there will be a day when it will be out of fashion and trendy.

But the most outstanding point of Fairy Company is that it will continue to introduce new ones, and there is no need for the market to eliminate Fairy Company's products, it will improve and launch new replacement products by itself.

For example, Dream Pad, as a tablet computer that pioneered smart electronic products, there is no tablet computer competing with Dream Pad in the market, but it decisively chose to upgrade a year and a half after its release, and its performance has further improved. The improvement has amazed many fans.

This behavior of spontaneously leading the market to make changes definitely represents Xiao Qi's vision for the market.

Although the sales of the Dream Pad continue, even in February 2009, it is definitely not behind. If there is a sense of product fatigue, the freshness in the hearts of fans will pass away, and the Dream Pad will no longer be so sought after.

The Dream Pad has been actively updated in a year and a half now. Many fans see that the Dream Pad 2 is better than the Dream Pad, so even if they bought the Dream Pad themselves, they will buy another Dream Pad 2. This is the trendy pursuit. The buying impulse of hipsters.

Seeing that Xiao Qi dared to abandon part of his current interests and look to further interests in the future, this shows that Xiao Qi is very intelligent, and following such a person to make a fortune is definitely the best choice.

But after hearing Xiao Qi say that the orders in the second year would directly drop by more than half, they were still a little disappointed.

If more than 2 billion has dropped to about 1 billion, no one will sigh.

Seeing their disappointed look, Xiao Qi smiled, and continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, I have a way to increase a lot of sales, but the reputation is a bit bad."

"Oh? Qi Shao, tell me!" Yan Chenglong cheered up, as long as he can make money, he doesn't care about his reputation.

Although Li Xiaochao didn't say anything, he thought the same thing. Although Li Xiaochao is no longer as aggressive and ruthless as he was when he was young, if the money benefits are big enough, he won't care about shame.

Xiao Qi nodded, "You know, there will not be only one tablet computer in the world. Surface and Galaxy-Tab are just the first batch to follow up. There will definitely be many manufacturers entering this market in the future. You know that Super The real reason for Battery’s best-selling hits, right?”

If someone else was listening, Xiao Qi's words would be a bit out of tune, but it just so happens that Super Battery is also produced by Yinhuang Electronics, a subsidiary of Yanchenglong, so Yanchenglong could understand it right away.

Super Battery was originally produced by Jinwei Lishen. In the past, Cuiying Energy of the Zheng family gave up halfway, so Jinwei Lishen produced it alone from the beginning.

Because Xiao Qi made the interface of Super Battery so that as long as it is a USB socket, it can be plugged in and charged, so Super Battery is not just for Dream Stars. As long as iPhone users need power banks, they all go to Super Battery. , so that Qiao gang leader was so jealous that he knocked down several bottles of good wine from Xiao Qi - this guy was banned from drinking by the doctor, but he still wanted to extort good wine, which was really too much.

And it’s not just for IPHONE users. Smartphones consume power very quickly. Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, HTC and other mobile phones, if you keep playing, the power consumption will not exceed 3 hours. Frequent replacement Batteries are too troublesome for everyone. If you carry a Super Battery with you, it will be much more convenient.

Because of this, Super Battery's sales volume of 4 million units a month is not enough at all. Yan Chenglong also took advantage of this opportunity to get an order of 20 million units a year from Xiao Qi, and started preparations in August last year. , The factory in Vietnam was put into production in October, and it has already tasted the sweetness.

Last time, Xiao Qi also said that Fairy Company is preparing to add orders for Super Battery because the sales of Super Battery are beyond imagination.

Therefore, a person like Yan Chenglong, who developed his brains by relying on crooked brains, immediately said: "Qi Shao, are you planning to make the Touch Cover so that other tablets can also be used? With the excellent appearance of our Touch Cover and the The quality is sure to sell well!"

"However, Touch Cover, a product that is connected to a tablet computer through Bluetooth transmission, is difficult to be used if other companies restrict the standard." Li Xiaochao shook his head and said more professionally: "The success of Super Battery is The consistency of the USB is just charging, and does not involve internal programs. But the Touch Cover is related to the operating system! How can other companies let us make money from them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shook his body, clapped his hands and said: "Qi Shao! I know what you mean! Haha, you are really good at thinking about things!" (to be continued~^~)
