Rebirth of England

"If that's the case, then we don't have to be limited to the UK. We can look for OEMs overseas. The most important thing is speed. Now the cost of the set-top box can be completely offset by the customer's deposit, and there is still some leftover. Only in this way can the speed be improved. The most important thing is that we need to occupy the British market in the shortest possible time.”

Barron said to Brad, CEO of Digital UK, in a deep voice.

"But if it's overseas, whether it's Germany, France, or the United States, our local companies have no advantage in terms of production costs, and they need to add freight."

After hearing the other party's answer, Barron smiled and said:

"Don't just limit your sights to Europe and the United States, you can look at Asia. The manufacturing industry there is now booming, and because of the advantages of labor, even with shipping freight, the cost is much lower than what we produce ourselves. , I think you can send people to China, especially the southern region there, such as Shenzhen City. I have been there before. Their electronic product production is already very large-scale and the industrial chain is very complete. We can definitely find a company with strength. The factory serves as our foundry."

"China?"

Brad said doubtfully:

"The quality of their products... is afraid that the failure rate will be too high, which will increase the pressure on our customer service."

It's normal for Brad to have such questions at this time.

Because during this period, in the eyes of many people in Europe and the United States, Chinese products represented cheapness and poor quality.

Of course, emerging countries, including the former Japanese country, will always take the copycat and cheap route at the beginning. After accumulating experience and funds, they will upgrade their industrial chains and eventually complete their transformation.

Just like China's products, in the next twenty years, they will gradually rely on technological content and quality, changing many Westerners' inherent impressions of them.

"You don't need to worry about this at all. I hope you will send someone to investigate without any inherent prejudice. As long as their pass rate is within an affordable range and the cost is low enough, we can completely produce it on the user's set-top box. When it breaks down, just replace it with a new one.”

Barron understood that China at this time was fully capable of producing the set-top boxes they needed, and he was not purely following the "Chinese plot" he had in his previous life, but was simply considering his own interests. He continued:

"As for users, our locally produced set-top boxes still require a deposit of 400 pounds, while for set-top boxes produced in China with the same function, the deposit can be reduced to 300 pounds. I believe that by then, without affecting the use, how can The choice will be given by the users themselves.”

"Okay, Your Highness the Duke, I will immediately send technicians to China to inspect the factories there, Shenzhen City, right?"

Since his boss insisted on doing this, Brad wisely agreed.

"Yes, I have invested in a company there before, and their founder Pony has quite a lot of connections there. I will give him a call when the time comes and ask him to help us introduce a factory with sufficient strength. The most important chip part of the set-top box itself is , we can control the quality and customize the main components and then assemble them in the Huaxia factory, which is absolutely no problem."

The most important hardware system of the set-top box is the chip, memory and modem. Others, such as various interfaces, power supply and chassis, have little technical content.

Therefore, what Barron means is that after finding a suitable foundry, they will standardize the quality system of the other party, and if the important components, especially the chips, are customized by Digital UK to European and American manufacturers, there will actually be no problems, and they If necessary, the amount is tens of millions. You can invest in the other party and make a shareholding to ensure the interests of Digital UK.

The cost of such set-top boxes produced by China is probably 30%-50% lower than those produced locally, and the output is much higher. It is the best choice for Digital UK.

…

"You're back so early today, don't you have any other plans?"

Seeing Bonnie's half-smiling expression, Barron said seriously:

"I told you, honey, it's just for dinner. I said I wanted to take you with me, but you refused."

"You are dating a beautiful woman, wouldn't it be very inappropriate for me to go with you?"

At this time, Barron knew that what was needed next was not a continued explanation, but the use of knowledge to prove his innocence...

The results of the Woaw website's selection at Cambridge University are out, and the one who received the most likes in the end was a girl named Gena Aaron.

When the staff of the Woaw website asked her what kind of prize she hoped to get, Gena Aaron said that she only needed a MINI car for daily transportation. In addition, she hoped to have the opportunity to compete with Dewen. Duke Hill met for dinner.

MINI cars are a favorite car among British girls. They are small and cute, but even the high-end version only costs 25,000 pounds, which is far lower than the prize of no more than 50,000 pounds that Barron promised at the time.

Because of this, another request she made was approved by Barron.

Of course, he had discussed this matter with Bangyou before, and she knew about it from beginning to end.

Although during the dinner, the beauty named Rena Aaron hinted to Barron that she did not need to go back to the dormitory tonight... But Barron was still very gentlemanly and asked the driver to take her away after dinner. Returned to Cambridge from Devonshire Hotel.

This is naturally not because Rena Aaron is not beautiful enough. She was able to win the final victory in the entire Cambridge University girl competition. Rena Aaron not only has exquisite facial features, but also has a very "wow" figure...

It's just that although Barron likes beautiful women, he also knows what kind of people he can attack, and what kind of people need to be cautious.

It was like even though he and the Viscountess and even the actors were learning knowledge together, Barron knew that the identity of the other party would make it impossible for him to make their affairs public, which would make it impossible for him to get off the stage in the end...

But for a girl like Gena Aaron, that's not necessarily the case.

Knowing that he has a girlfriend, he still sticks to her like this, is it really just for the "admiration" she calls her? When it comes to reading people, Barron also thinks that he has some experience, which stems from his many experiences in his previous life.

It can be seen that Rena Aaron is a very scheming girl, and Barron does not want to cause trouble for him.

Moreover, the previous selection by the Woaw website was called "the Duke's chosen concubine" by some gossip tabloids including "The Sun". He could not really make such an excuse.

After all, in his heart, the value of Woaw is much more important than such a woman.

Now, Woaw has opened registration channels to more British college students.

After this competition for girls at Cambridge University is over, the competition for girls across the UK will begin immediately.

From this time on, the Woaw website will also usher in an explosion in the number of users, starting from 10,000, to 100,000, and even millions.

At the same time, the Woaw website has also decided to continue to open registration for high school students next year. After the number of registered members on the website exceeds 1 million, registration will be officially opened to the whole society.
