During the lunch break, Li Wanyi called Ou Hongqing, but Ou Hongqing was just a student. Although he did some projects with his tutor, in this matter, the most he could do was ask for help and provide contact information.
Wei Qingfan doesn't have much expectations for this, and would rather contact people in the industry. After all, what he wants is products, not teaching.
He didn't have a specific job, but he needed to worry about all the work. Before the communication with the software department was over, Zhang Yuanping came to him again.
“The cost cannot be reduced!”
As soon as Zhang Yuanping arrived at the office, he started to complain, "The price is too low, and we are a small company. Those big companies don't want to talk to us, and we can't get a low price... You said you can sell it for one million
Taiwan, do people believe you can sell one million units?"
In the previous life, Xiaomi made software first, then hardware, and then held a press conference first. After receiving huge market response, it actually put the mobile phone into production.
This resulted in the first-generation Xiaomi mobile phone being "delayed" for a long time. It was released in August 2011 and only started mass production at the end of the year. It was already 12 years ago that it was actually shipped on a large scale.
But this approach also reduces the company's risks. Similarly, after the market response, the treatment in the supply chain will also be improved.
Now Wei Qingfan has started making hardware without even launching a customized system. A start-up company with no reputation is making large-scale purchases with empty words. It wants a low price but doesn't want to pay the full price. How can it be agreed to?
Volume is the bargaining power!
In the past few days, Zhang Yuanping and his team have been working overtime to replace products with components of different specifications from different companies, trying to keep costs down as much as possible while meeting Wei Qingfan's requirements, but they simply can't do it.
High configuration and low price cannot have both!
He brought over several different component specifications and costs. The highest hardware cost alone was as high as 1,600 per mobile phone!
This does not include other costs of design, testing, production, packaging, and sales, it is just the price of component procurement!
If we really produce according to this configuration, no matter how rich Wei Qingfan's family background is, he can't bear the loss, let alone his own family background is not that rich.
"Build a test machine first, and then consider mass production. After the test specifications are completed, we can discuss it with each company. We can all sign a betting agreement, and the shipment volume will be calculated as one million."
Quantity determines price. This is the law of production and business in the industrial era. Wei Qingfan is unable to change it, but he is relatively confident in sales volume.
"Test two sets of plans first, one is the first choice and the other is the alternative... We still have time, so take our time."
Wei Qingfan made his decision, comforted Zhang Yuanping, sent him away, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, it's just the beginning~"
Li Wanyi was afraid that he would be upset, so she came over and held his hand, comforting him softly.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just confused and don't know where to start..."
Wei Qingfan took advantage of the situation and hugged his senior sister into his arms, smelled the fragrance on her body and sighed softly. Since his rebirth, he has been having a smooth journey, but now it can be said that it is rare to be stopped by difficulties.
Senior executives are responsible for part of their own work, and as the boss, they have to coordinate the entire company and pay attention to the overall progress and a certain project, otherwise one project may hold everyone back.
Wei Qingfan had known for a long time that there would be such a level, so he had made a lot of knowledge reserves in advance, but when it came to actual use, it was completely different.
No matter how many books you read, if you want to be a person who directs the overall situation, you still need to learn and adapt bit by bit.
"Then you are still anxious?"
Li Wanyi was a little funny, she raised her head slightly to look at him, reached out to touch his face, and said softly: "You haven't graduated yet, but you are already very good... You don't know, from the time I came in until now, I have watched you...
When handling things here and communicating with them, it feels like I'm meeting you for the first time."
"real?"
Wei Qingfan was a little surprised. He looked at his senior sister and asked with a smile: "Do you think I'm awesome? Do you admire me?"
Li Wanyi looked at him with her clear and charming eyes, as if she was a little funny and a little shy. She bit her lip gently and nodded slightly, "Yes."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Well, what do you mean?"
"Disgusting~"
Li Wanyi hit him on the chest, her tone was slightly angry, and then with a bit of helplessness, coquettishness, and a seemingly contradictory but well-integrated doting, she said with a sweet tail tone: "Okay, okay, great.
,Is it okay for a little bit...?"
Wei Qingfan hugged her, kissed her, and asked, "What's the matter?"
There was no one else in the office, so Li Wanyi let him hold her, but her face was still slightly red. She looked at him with moist eyes, slightly shy, but said seriously: "I have a little admiration..."
It was rare for her to say such a thing, and she was unbearably shy for a moment, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "How do you know so many things?"
"Let's read a book."
Wei Qingfan hugged the senior's delicate body, put her head on his shoulder, rubbed her smooth and delicate cheek, and called softly: "Senior~"
"Um?"
"You're so kind~"
"It was good."
Li Wanyi snorted slightly, her voice was soft and sweet, and she let him hug her for a while, then whispered: "Okay, hugging me every day, isn't it enough? Wait until someone else comes in and sees..."
"If you see it, just see it. It's not illegal for me to hug my wife."
Wei Qingfan curled his lips, but still let her go, moved his body on the spot, looked energetic, and said: "Come on! Keep working!"
Li Wanyi looked on in amusement, then looked at a printed company policy next to her and said, "Do you have any other policies?"
"That's for sure. I originally wanted to print the manual, but it wasn't perfect yet, so I didn't print it... I'll wait until I have money later."
"Um."
Throughout the whole day, Li Wanyi was basically in a state of observation. She observed Wei Qingfan in the morning, and started going out occasionally in the afternoon to sit outside and see what everyone was doing.
After getting off work at six o'clock in the evening, many people still stayed in the company to work overtime. Wei Qingfan was still thinking about Li Miaoyu's cat. He first took his senior sister to Shuiqingmu Garden to see the cat, and then went back to cook together.
Others stayed in the company to work overtime, some got off work at nine o'clock, and some even later.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
At half past nine, Tang Tingyue turned off the computer and left the office. The desks outside were almost empty. The lights were still on in Wang Qinggen's office, so he went over to say hello.
"Let's go now and finish this work."
Wang Qinggen raised his head and responded, then smiled and said: "I will be alone when I go back anyway, and it will be the same wherever I am."
"Then I'll leave first, and you should also pay attention to rest."
"Ok, bye."
Wang Qinggen responded and watched Tang Tingyue leave with a smile on his face.
Compared with working at Paypal, he likes the working atmosphere here very much. Although it is also very busy, he only needs to worry about work and does not have to be as worried as he did at Paypal.
Although Wei Qingfan, the boss, is sometimes a bit out of tune, his attitude towards everyone is very kind and he is not as tolerant on the outside as cruel on the inside like Musk.
Zhang Yuanping even choked the young boss in front of others several times. Wei Qingfan didn't seem to be angry at all, but often helped mediate the relationship between Zhang Yuanping and others.
Although Zhang Yuanping has a bit of a bad temper, he is actually a pretty good person. At least there is no trace of intrigue, and he only focuses on work efficiency.
Tang Tingyue was a relatively well-educated person, but he did not show any malice. On the contrary, it was pleasant to get along with him.
The most important thing is that Wei Qingfan's treatment is very good, and he has even paid this year's basic salary in advance, which greatly eases his financial pressure and allows him to focus more on work.
rather than economically.
He is very satisfied with his current life, so he hopes that the company can start up. In this case, his income will further increase and his life will naturally become more satisfactory.
In the dusk outside, Tang Tingyue drove away from Zhongguancun and headed for his home in the city.
He is generally satisfied with his life in the company. Zhang Yuanping is a straight-laced person and can hardly become a great person; Wang Qinggen seems to be more motivated, but lacks the power and means to pose much threat to him.
Wei Qingfan firmly holds the company's shares, and it is unrealistic to fight for power with him, a big boss. But if Wei Qingfan is really as courageous as he said and is willing to pay dividends to all employees, then there is a high probability that power will be decentralized.
.
Even if he is unwilling to split up, after the company grows, Wei Qingfan will not be able to firmly hold all the rights. Moreover, Wei Qingfan does not seem to care much about these, and his own personality is relatively...
Tang Tingyue thought about it, but couldn't find an accurate description for a while, because this kid was a bit strange. He originally thought he was very thoughtful and ambitious, but today he brought his girlfriend to the company so ostentatiously...
And it's not the one I know.
It is common for young people to have romantic ideas when they are young and have a lot of money. They are all people who have been through this before. Tang Tingyue has no grudge against this.
He was just a little strange because it looked like Wei Qingfan's original girlfriend had an unusual family background.
"Where's Shu Yun?"
After returning home, his wife was watching TV in the living room, but her daughter was nowhere to be seen. Tang Tingyue asked casually.
"Where is the room? I won't go out all day."
The wife responded and asked again: "Are you hungry? Do you want to get you something to eat?"
"Help me get a bowl of dumplings."
Tang Tingyue said casually, then walked to the door of his daughter's room and knocked lightly.
"here I am!"
The voice of his daughter came from inside. Tang Tingyue opened the door and saw his daughter squatting at the computer desk watching TV series. He frowned and said, "Why do you act like a monkey all day long? Sit tight."
Tang Shuyun curled his lips, had to put his legs down and sit down, and said: "Are you so enthusiastic about working at sea? You haven't seen anyone all day long, and you don't get off work until ten o'clock..."
"When you work for others, don't you have to behave well?"
Tang Tingyue smiled, and then said in a strange tone: "Without your daddy, who wakes up early and stays late, how could a young lady like you stay out of the house all day long?"
"It's my summer vacation. What's wrong with relaxing for two days?"
Tang Shuyun rolled his eyes, "Besides, I didn't delay what I should do. Sharpening the knife will not delay the woodchopping."
"As long as you know what's going on."
Tang Tingyue chatted for a while before casually asking: "Have all your roommates gone home?"
Tang Shuyun said: "Of course, their family is not in the capital."
Tang Tingyue nodded and asked again: "By the way, don't you have a roommate, the one Wei Qingfan is in love with...what's his name?"
"The wonderful words of Li, the Li of dawn, the witty words."
Tang Shuyun rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "Why did you remember to ask this?"
