Chapter 486: The prospect of over 100 million shipments is just a small goal
Ye Hua nodded and lightly touched the surface of the 22*20 mm ring diameter with his ten fingers.
After a while, a halo of light lit up in the outer ring, but after a while the light curtain dissipated. The ring structure in the PHC device was 100 times larger than the device in hand now. Without the application of basic new materials, miniaturization of the device would be impossible.
To a certain extent, it is actually a beta product that explores the path for phm mobile personal holographic devices.
The holographic bracelet in Ye Hua's hand has established an access agreement with the wireless power terminal in the experimental center. The terminal power supply sends continuous energy terahertz waves to the bracelet through the terahertz generator, and the internal receiver converts the terahertz waves into electricity.
And provide the required operating energy for the equipment.
It had only been ten seconds since Ye Hua touched the surface of the ring, and a floating panel with a holographic display suddenly appeared above the ring, about 7 inches in size.
Ye Hua manually touched to expand the screen, and the floating panel expanded to more than ten inches with his operating gestures. He skillfully touched the holographic floating panel. He was quite satisfied with the UI design. The operation was not much different from that of a PHC device.
In fact, phc and phm are mirror images in many places. The only difference is in two points. phm is a mobile wearable device and uses wireless power transmission for battery life, while phc is a home appliance product with wired battery life.
It seems like just a small step change, but in fact the potential of phm is unmatched by phc.
Ye Hua turned the equipment hardware 180 degrees, looked at the back of the floating display panel, and immediately turned to look at Chen Zian: "Why is the background panel so transparent? It's as clear as a 4k high-definition picture. I open a screen, and you sit on it
Opposite me, you can see everything on my screen clearly. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if a shady netizen posted a special picture or something? In other words, it would restrict the user’s desire to use the device in public.”
Relatively speaking, hardware does not actually make much money. What really makes money is the software ecosystem, and this depends on the frequency of users using the device. Restricting user usage will of course reduce revenue.
The user browsing interface is also a type of privacy. For example, private chatting with friends is not appropriate in public places.
"Chairman, the phm operating system is currently still a beta version, not a complete version. The background blur function is being optimized and upgraded and new algorithms are being developed." Chen Zian explained.
"There is also wide-angle adjustment. As long as the user does not want others to see the content of his screen, even if he is sitting next to me and is no longer within the field of view, the people next to me will not see any content on my screen, only a blurry mosaic.
This does not require additional chips and can be achieved by developing new algorithms."
Ye Hua nodded and said, after saying this, he thought for a while and added: "We have optimized the function and given the choice to the user. If the user wants to let the people next to him see it, open the wide-angle field of view and want the person on the opposite side to see it."
When you see the information on his screen, the background panel becomes transparent, and vice versa... Forget it, I think this shouldn't be discussed with you, the person responsible for the hardware module."
Generally speaking, Ye Hua is satisfied with the completion of the samples, and the final product can meet his expectations.
After operating the holographic bracelet device for a few times, he placed it back on the round table. It is such a small ring-shaped device, but its craftsmanship accuracy can fully represent the pinnacle of human industrial manufacturing levels.
Compared with PHC equipment, the number of chips is only more than 30, while the smaller holographic bracelet is composed of 48 chips, which is smaller and has better performance data.
Even though the two are connected electronic products within the same system, it is obvious that the holographic bracelet is far superior in terms of technological content.
After leaving the isolation laboratory, Ye Hua took off his dust-free clothes, looked at Chen Zian who was following him, and asked: "Has the final manufacturing cost of the equipment been estimated?"
"As far as the hardware cost is concerned, the sample production cost is 13,570 yuan without counting the labor cost." Chen Zi answered.
Thirteen thousand and five thousand...
This cost price is higher than what Ye Hua expected, about five hundred yuan higher.
Seeing Ye Hua's silence, Chen Zian took the initiative and said: "Chairman, if the equipment is mass-produced, the cost will definitely drop further. If the annual shipment volume can reach 65 million units, which is the current sales volume, phm equipment
The cost of a single set can be reduced by about 650 yuan, and if the shipment volume can exceed 100 million yuan, it can be reduced by 1,000 yuan."
"Mass production will definitely reduce costs, and..." Ye Hua looked at him with a smile: "You are too conservative... Comparing the sales of holographic bracelets with the sales volume of holographic bracelets is like comparing the shipments of mobile phones with computers
The shipment volume ratio is the same, not at the same level at all, and there is no comparability."
The global annual shipments of smartphones have reached a terrifying level of 1.5 billion units, while the global annual shipments of PCs are now less than 8 million. Of course, the dismal sales of PCs have been affected by the impact of PHC, which is almost unstoppable.
With the current global annual shipment volume of 8 million units, PC computers are really in the cold.
Even in the era before PHC was born, the global shipments of mobile phones at that time were 1.4 billion units a year, and there were only 50 million computers during the same period, which was still incomparable.
"Uh...then what is the estimated number in the chairman's mind?" Chen Zian asked curiously.
"To put it in perspective, breaking 100 million is a small goal, haha." Ye Hua replied with a smile. Not to mention, this is an expansion. The competitiveness of the product is on the one hand. There is currently no such product on the market.
Smart mobile devices…
Well, to be more direct, I’m talking about smartphones.
No smartphone can compete with a holographic bracelet.
This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the market’s consumption power. The retail price of the holographic bracelet is definitely more than 10,000 yuan, and the current flagship iPhone mobile phone exceeds 10,000 yuan.
Apple's shipments reached 220 million units, indicating that the market's consumption power is strong.
Therefore, the annual sales volume of holographic bracelets in the future will exceed 100 million, which is really a small goal. Even if it exceeds 100 million, it will barely reach the passing mark.
"Where's the production capacity?" Ye Hua asked instead.
"There are currently three production lines. As long as the upstream supplier partners do not lose control, the monthly factory output can reach 4.5 to 5 million sets." Chen Zian answered.
"How can such a small amount of production capacity be enough?" Ye Hua shook his head repeatedly: "It's not enough. I need to expand five more production lines as soon as possible. The monthly factory output must be at least 12 million sets."
"There is definitely no problem in our company. If the production capacity is not enough, we just need to expand the production capacity. When it comes to investing more money, the most indispensable thing is money." Chen Zian said this. Ye Hua immediately said after hearing this: "We will be short of money soon.
Come on, don’t always think that the company is rich. Our company will spend 2.35 trillion yuan to build 1,180 radio towers."
"Isn't that a super-large-scale project that spans 30 years?" Chen Zian said with an optimistic face. Ye Hua was helpless about this. He blamed himself. Now everyone in the company is inflated. They are all imitating others.
It looks like our Coastline Group has nothing but money.
Well, at least Xiaoyin has not reported to him the corruption of group company executives and the misappropriation of huge amounts of public funds. So let's expand. If we don't expand, it will be suppressed.
