Chinese entertainment for engineering students

After having such a stronghold, Wang Xu really doesn't have to worry about where to find Wang Fei. Their group of best friends will gather here in twos and threes from time to time.

There are wine, dishes, coffee, desserts, fragrant milk tea, music, videos and automatic mahjong tables.

The automatic mahjong machine is a new gadget made by Wang Xu. The new work of his small factory is put here for testing.

The principle of this thing is not complicated, and the structure is also very simple. It's just that the current mahjong machines are missing a few tricks, and the overall patent has expired long ago.

Although mahjong is the quintessence of China, the mahjong machine was not invented by Chinese people. It was invented by people in the 1970s. It was only in the 1990s that it began to enter China, but it was very expensive.

Wang Xu quickly changed the design a little, drew a rough diagram, and added a few tips for sorting out the cards. Thanks to a certain voice from later generations, he explained the various small mechanisms clearly.

These small improvements are generally tricks that can be patented. As for the overall patent on the mahjong machine, that’s fine, it has expired long ago.

Then he threw the sketch to Brother Li Yuzhuo and asked him to find someone to perfect the design, especially to adapt the card type to the Chinese habit of liking large cards.

Then they asked the processing factory to make a prototype and put it in Wang Fei's small reception room, and let them serve as testers.

There is still a certain market for this thing, especially in Xiangjiang. In fact, there is already a demand in China.

However, the original design has always had some minor problems, and problems such as machine jamming will occur from time to time. It is very troublesome to replace or repair.

In addition, the price is high, so the sales volume is not very good, and only some marijuana shops in the casino will buy some.

Ordinary people rarely buy this. On the one hand, such a table requires a fixed room to install. Most families in China do not have such wealthy housing, and most people in Xiangjiang do not have that spacious housing.

Moreover, long-term poker playing habits are not that easy to change, especially in Xiangjiang. The calculated playing style makes a round of poker last relatively long, and there is no delay in picking up the cards yourself.

Later, what became more and more popular in China was an increasingly simplified gameplay. The time of each game became shorter and shorter, and people increasingly felt that it was a waste of time to code the cards.

Therefore, this thing only became popular after entering the 21st century.

Wang Xu was really familiar with this kind of simple mechanical equipment. He spent almost no time and only drew a schematic diagram by hand. Later, Brother Yuzhuo went to the mechanical department teacher of the Imperial University of Technology to perfect it.

It's all funded research anyway. Such a small thing can be handled by any professional mechanical school, so there is no need for Mizuki to do anything.

After that, Brother Yuzhuo had no intention of continuing to produce this thing. He planned to transfer the technology back, take a commission, and concentrate on technology research and development, just like the speakers.

Whether it is Jiangsu Province or Guangdong Province, the hometown of Brother Yuzhuo, there are not too many factories willing to produce these things. According to Brother Yuzhuo's plan, this thing will be transferred to four or five companies at one time.

Not to mention directly recovering the research and development costs, there is still a lot of profit. It is that it will be more difficult to supervise the production and sales of enterprises in the future, and these enterprises may default on their debts in the future.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo is also selecting companies in a targeted manner. Let's start with acquaintances. This is also a helpless method.

Why were there so many similar companies in the 1990s, from the same village, from the same hometown, and from the same school? You had to have some connections to get started. That was because of the lax enforcement of laws in various aspects, so we had to do this as a last resort.

Don't talk about using people as relatives. When there is insufficient supervision or the supervision system cannot be implemented, it is always better to use people as relatives.

Brother Yuzhuo is looking for specialized financial audit talents to supervise the production of these enterprises in the future.

As for how they compete with each other, that is their own business, and the laboratory will not interfere.

However, these companies will have a mandatory requirement for R\u0026D expenses. As for what they develop, it is up to them.

Even if it is just an improvement in appearance, it is a big progress in Wang Xu's opinion. From assembly to copycat and finally to research and development, this is the growth path of ordinary enterprises.

Even if it is a copycat, it still needs to invest in research and development costs. Continuous research and development of new products can help companies quickly get out of the trap of low-level internal friction.

It is also the only way to avoid being constantly copied. In these days, China's patent protection is, how should I put it, better than nothing?

Brother Yuzhuo recently contacted his hometown of Lingnan. There are manufacturers there who are willing to fund the purchase of microphone designs. But I hope Wang Xu can improve a few simplified versions and form a product series like speakers.

Wang Xu agreed, and also drew a simplified diagram and threw it to Senior Brother Yuzhuo. Likewise, Imperial City did not need too many simplified versions of schools, and Wang Xu only needed to make some adjustments at the end.

Wang Xu now likes this model created by Senior Brother Yuzhuo. In this way, he doesn’t have to bother Senior Brother Yuzhuo when he comes up with some new ideas.

Brother Yuzhuo's speaker business is also doing very well, and the products are all high-end. A dozen sets have been shipped to Wanwan and Xiangjiang, and sales are slow but steady.

A set of this thing costs more than 20,000 US dollars. It is considered a high-tech product. The export tax rebate is relatively high. It can also apply for subsidies from the imperial city and district. In the end, it is almost all profit.

Anyway, it is more than enough to support the workers in the laboratory factory. What's more, there are still a steady stream of new technologies entering the patent pool. The laboratory only needs to connect them to gain a lot.

Perhaps Senior Brother Yuzhuo listened to Wang Xu's advice, or maybe his body did not allow him to work too hard. Now, like Wang Jinghua, Senior Brother Yuzhuo has recruited several assistants to help him.

In Wang Xu's company, the power is relatively liberal. The general manager only grasps the general direction and adds key positions in finance and human resources. Others are left to the employees to perform freely.

Wang Xu's business model here is destined not to form that kind of super large enterprise. Even the processing plant, Brother Yuzhuo, has no plans to expand. He just wants to be small and comprehensive, specializing in high-quality products.

Their products have high profits and small quantities, so orders are queued up. Anyway, they don’t want to expand production. If they want to produce on a large scale, then they can engage in certified sub-brand licensing in the future and just focus on high-end products.

When the boss Wang Xu didn't attach much importance to making money, the general managers also began to think about their own pursuits. Although the three fields were very different, they unexpectedly had similar pursuits.

Obviously, they are now moving towards mastering the right to speak in their respective fields.
