Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Daqin Optics, Dongyang City, Jiangsu Province.

The sun was scorching, and Kang Chi, who had just gotten off the car, immediately felt a heat wave coming from his face.

Today is the last day of June. Starting from tomorrow, most students will embrace the wonderful summer vacation, which also means that nearly half of the year has passed without realizing it.

The last time I came to Daqin Optics was the monthly summary meeting at the end of January. At that time, it was still cold and snowy, but now it is scorching hot and sunny.

Since the New Year, Kang Chi has been driven by various complicated situations, like a top that has been wound up, spinning rapidly. He can no longer spare time to attend the monthly summary meeting of Daqin Optics. .

Kang Chi was quite ashamed of this.

Fortunately, since Kang Chi showed his ambitions to Fang Qiming and the others at the last meeting, they have also given full understanding and support to Kang Chi, especially after the good news from Dahan Silicon Industry. They couldn't even afford to complain.

And Dahan Silicon Industry's actions, which frequently cost tens of billions, have already made Fang Qiming feel numb.

However, this also eliminated some of their anxiety and uneasiness, because Dahan's success made Kang Chi fully capable of abiding by his original promise to Daqin Optics not to lay off employees or cut salaries.

It's just that the Han side is prospering, but the own side is lingering on, and may even have to do blood transfusions from the Han side to Da Qin in the future...

In terms of face, I feel a little bit regretful.

"Look, Mr. Kang is here!"

The management of Daqin Optics had received notice in advance that Kangchi would attend this month’s monthly summary meeting, so they kept looking out the window in the office. The moment they saw Kangchi’s car driving into the park, they immediately After getting the news, they all went downstairs to greet him.

"Mr. Kang, you had a hard time on the road."

"Brother Kang, you are so awesome. It only took half a year to develop Dahan Silicon into a leading silicon wafer company!"

"Mr. Kang, it's hot outside. Come in and cool down quickly."

"..."

Looking at the enthusiastic Daqin managers, Kang Chi couldn't help but said with laughter and tears: "Okay, okay, you don't have to be so excited. I know that I have neglected everyone during this period, and I will treat everyone to a big dinner later."

"There is no need for a big meal. As long as Mr. Kang can stay in Dongyang for a few more days, we will be satisfied!"

Kang Chi: "..."

Look at their expressions,

Why does it feel like a concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace is suddenly lucky...

"Ahem, don't worry, everyone, I will probably stay in Dongyang most of the time."

Fang Qiming was immediately overjoyed and said: "That's good, that's good!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, Kang Chi first came to the production workshop and took a look at the production situation.

There is not much difference here from a few months ago, and the employees are in good spirits. They were a little excited when they saw the big boss coming.

Just a few months ago, who would have thought that his elusive boss would turn into the hope of the nation and save the world in the blink of an eye...

It's very dreamy.

In fact, the main purpose of Kangchi's inspection of the workshop was to see how the equipment in the lens production line was doing.

The result was as he expected. After more than half a year of high-intensity production around the clock, their experience has completely overflowed!

[Item: Lens cutting, grinding and polishing all-in-one machine]

[Manufacturer: Kangchi]

[Item Level: 1]

【Experience: 1469/1000】

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis items: no analysis items]

[General experience: 308]

[Mastery Points: 46.2]

Although Kang Chi wanted to see what the upgraded production line would look like, making void creations under such circumstances was obviously an act of suicide.

He has to quickly get the private residence + laboratory, and then find an excuse to improve the production equipment and transport the equipment there for upgrading.

In fact, the manufacturing technology of silicon wafers and the manufacturing technology of lenses overlap in many places. With Kangchi's current proficiency in smelting, cutting, polishing and other technologies, he should be able to transform and upgrade it by himself, so that The lens quality it produces reaches silicon wafer level smoothness, which greatly improves the image quality of the lens.

However, this is too laborious, and it is not as easy and convenient as directly upgrading...

After visiting the production line, the group quickly arrived at the conference room. After the lady from the administrative department served tea to everyone, the summary meeting officially began.

Since Kang Chi had not been here for five months, this summary meeting became a mid-year summary meeting, still chaired by Fang Qiming.

"In the past five months, Daqin Optics has sold a total of 74,000 lenses, with a total turnover of 28.93 million and a net profit of 9.89 million. The net profit margin has decreased."

“This is mainly because we have increased our investment in the research and development of new lenses and launched a variety of zoom lenses...but the results are not ideal, and we cannot stop the decline in sales, especially the 50/35/85 fixed-focus models. The market for lenses has basically become saturated..."

“In addition, the after-sales service burden of free replacement and original price replacement is also getting heavier and heavier. In the past, we could fill it by releasing new products and increasing the prices of new products. It may not be obvious, but as our products become more and more saturated in the market , the release of new products is getting slower and slower. We think this after-sales rule may need to be adjusted appropriately..."

After listening to this, Kang Chi nodded and began to fall into deep thought.

These two after-sales policies were originally used by Kangchi to recover GM’s experience, and later it was confirmed that the effect was indeed good.

Now Daqin Optics' after-sales warehouse is probably full of various lenses waiting for him to gain experience. There will soon be no shortage of general experience.

What really restricts the development of Kangchi now is not upgrading experience or mastery points, but bringing technology into reality and various objective factual factors.

For example, in Dahan Silicon Industry, even if the technology is not a problem and the funds are in place, the construction of the factory will take so long, and he can't rush it.

All in all, as Daqin Optics sells more and more lenses, these two policies have indeed become a big hidden danger. In addition, Kangchi's need to exchange money for experience has decreased, so it is time to find an opportunity to cancel it.

"That's it...I will make a small upgrade to the lens product line over time. Although the upgraded production line can still only produce manual lenses, it will have a relatively large improvement in image quality. "

Hearing Kang Chi's words, everyone present immediately showed happy expressions.

Finally, Kang Chi was willing to take care of Da Qin Optics!

Kangchi did not give them time to discuss, and continued: "You can take advantage of this upgrade opportunity to inform users in advance that this will be the penultimate opportunity for free replacement and replacement. As for the last free replacement, And replacement...it’s time for us to only sell our own camera mount lenses.”

Damn it!

Hearing Kang Chi's words, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.

turn out to be……

Mr. Kang, a long time ago,

Let’s start this big game of chess!

The ultimate goal of these two after-sales policies is to directly force all previous lens users into Da Qin's camp when launching its own camera brand!

Just imagine, when Daqin releases cameras and autofocus lenses at the same time, those users holding Daqin Optical Sony, Nikon, and Canon mount lenses are equivalent to holding a stack of coupons that are about to expire.

Once the quality of the product is acceptable, how many people can resist giving it a try?

"Brother Kang is awesome! This trick is so wonderful!" Fang Qiming exclaimed sincerely, "I can't wait to see the moment when Daqin Optics releases the camera!"

Kang Chi: "???"

Why do you feel like they think too much?

"Ahem, don't get too excited too soon." Kang Chi coughed quickly, "I'm just getting through the silicon wafer now, and there will be a photolithography machine next, and it will probably take some time..."

In order not to dampen their enthusiasm, Kang Chi added:

"But for Daqin Optics, I will also find ways to lay out the plans in advance to prepare for technological breakthroughs in COMS and image processing."

Fang Qiming nodded: "It's okay, we have confidence in Brother Kang!"
