When he came to Xiangjiang several times before, if Liu Yang came alone, he would always stay at Chef Cao's house. Now that Cao Yue and his children are staying at home, he doesn't live at home, but stays in a hotel, where he can stay with Chef Cao.
Sun Dahai talks more and it won't affect others' rest.
After everyone had dinner and chatted for a while, Liu Yang left with Sun Dahai. He also checked into a room at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. After settling in, he and Sun Dahai started chatting in the room.
"Dahai, you said before that the life of the karaoke video recorder will not exceed ten years, let alone the rewinder. It is just a creative product auxiliary to the video recorder. So how do you think Xinyuan should develop in the future?
Is that good?"
"Your electronics factory has many future development directions, and the key depends on your choice, Uncle Yang. For example, based on the existing technological advantages, further increase research and development efforts and become a professional audio-visual equipment manufacturer.
It can also develop horizontally, introduce production lines, manufacture other types of white goods, and become a household appliances factory.
By the way, your factory can also use the current personnel as a team to strengthen production management and quality control, and become an electronic product foundry that specializes in OEM contracting."
Speaking of this, Sun Dahai suddenly remembered that there was a famous electronics foundry in his previous life, which will enter the mainland next year for development.
Their first step will be to set up a small electronics factory in the Special Administrative Region, and then gradually develop it. It will also be run by Wanwan people.
This company later became the world's largest foundry and was very famous. But Sun Dahai didn't like it. It was just a sweatshop with typical Wanwan characteristics.
Sun Dahai thought in his mind that if Liu Yang was willing to develop in this area, then he would support him in expanding his business. Sun Dahai didn't believe that with his strong support, Liu Yang's Xinyuan would not be able to develop?
Sun Dahai did not dare to say that he would be able to push Xinyuan to the number one position in the industry. At least he could compete with the other party and not let the other party be the best.
"Forget it about the OEM. Since I am a manufacturing company, I would rather invest a lot of time and money in technology development, and I must build my own brand. No matter how big or good the OEM is, I will always be a wage earner."
It's a pity, obviously Liu Yang has no such plan now.
At his core, he is still a relatively traditional person. It doesn't matter whether he is bookish or out of place. In short, he is still very principled in his conduct.
"I support you, let's just build our own brand from now on, so our hard work has not been in vain."
Sun Dahai followed the good advice and immediately agreed with Liu Yang's ideas. After thinking about it, he decided to give Liu Yang some reasonable suggestions and let him make his own choice.
"Uncle Yang, our company has done some analysis and prediction on the future development of the market. The application of electronic products will develop rapidly in the future.
Its main application markets, in addition to household appliances, the computer and communications fields will also become the focus of future development.
If you want to find new development directions, you can also consider some of these areas."
Liu Yang nodded and said: "Your aunt also said when we talked on the phone that computer technology is developing rapidly now, its applications are getting farther and farther, and it is not far away from being widespread in the daily work of enterprises.
I'm planning to visit the United States at the end of the year, and I'll take a look at your aunt by the way. She won't have to come back for the Christmas holiday this year. By the way, will your uncle return to China this year?"
Liu Yang said that Sun Dahai's "uncle" was Han Shaobai. Like Liu Yang's wife He Ying, he was a graduate student in the Computer Science Department of Princeton University.
It's just that the two of them chose different tutors, and He Ying will graduate next year, and Han Shaobai is already one grade late. In addition, because Sun Weihong gave birth to a child, he took another six months off from school, so he is still early to graduate.
Due to the relationship between the two families, Han Shaobai and He Ying also knew each other in school. However, they are usually very busy and rarely see each other.
Han Shaobai has been out of school for half a year and has just entered school. He is busy learning advanced knowledge at school and goes to the library when he has time. He rarely meets people.
He Ying is about to graduate. She writes papers and does projects all day long, and almost never comes out of the laboratory every day. Otherwise, Liu Yang would not have thought of going to the United States for preliminary inspections at the end of the year.
He is a math major who understands neither technology nor the market, so he just needs to show up when the final decision is made. As for the preliminary inspection, no matter who among his capable men goes there, the results will be better than if he goes there.
"My uncle is definitely going back to China. You know, my little cousin is less than one year old. How can he not miss her? When you go to the United States, will you take Ruoxuan to meet her mother?"
"Let's see then. It mainly depends on whether your aunt has time. Her tutor has several topics that your aunt is very interested in, so she is very busy every day.
If she can't take care of it, I simply won't take Ruoxuan there. The child is still young, so this flight across the Pacific will not be easy." Liu Yang said somewhat helplessly.
"By the way, you said on the phone at the beginning of the year that you thought the factory was a bit small and wanted to expand its production scale, but it was surrounded by other people's land and was very restricted. What's going on now? Has it been resolved?"
Liu Yang smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Xinyuan Electronics Factory is an old factory that I took over from someone else. It is located in an old factory area. There are also large and small factories around the factory area, so there is no room for expansion.
Woolen cloth?
However, the old factory area also has some advantages. The nearby factories can make the supporting products we need, which saves us a lot of work, so we can only make do with this.
The factory production line is operated in double shifts from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, with each shift working eight hours. This is the way of working with the highest output under normal production mode."
When Liu Yang saw that Sun Dahai seemed to be speaking, he guessed what Sun Dahai was saying to him, so he explained in advance: "Are you trying to say that the production line will not be shut down and workers will work in three shifts, so that maximum output can be created?"
When Sun Dahai heard this, he immediately nodded.
Liu Yang smiled and replied: "I used to think that was the case. But in fact, this may not be correct in every situation. It requires specific analysis.
The optimal working time of a production line is linked to the number and grouping of workers, the speed of material preparation and loading, the average daily number of orders, and the maintenance time of the production line itself. It does not necessarily mean that it is the best and fastest if it is running 24 hours a day.
."
"Okay, Uncle Yang. You can now become an expert in factory production management."
"It's just a matter of time. You don't need to go out of your way to learn these things. You can understand them just by casually chatting with factory managers and old workers."
