"Oh, Wu Kai, how long do we need to mass produce?"
"One and a half months."
"One and a half months is too long. 20 days. I will give you 20 days."
"Chen Yu, 20 days is too short. In fact, one and a half months is already very fast."
Hardware is not software.
Many products need one to two years from research and development to mass production. Some products can even take longer.
For cars, the time needed is even longer.
Currently, the fastest product in China needs half a year to be mass produced.
But because Tianyu mobile phones are low-end products, their production speed is much faster.
Half a year for other mobile phone manufacturers is shortened to one and a half months.
But Chen Yu still feels it is too long.
Think about Feng Yu's previous life. Knock-Off phones can be produced in half a month.
Those well-known mobile phone brands are also very fast.
For example, Xiaomi and Huawei, their products can be upgraded in three months.
Chen Yu wants to capture the market share. Other than lowering the price, he also needs to be fast.
This is similar to Shenzhou Computer's strategy.
Shenzhou Computer does not have any advantage in terms of technology. Their advantage is their speed.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be defeated. Only speed is undefeatable.
As long as you are fast enough, others will not be able to catch up.
Some brands can do this, let alone Chen Yu, who does not deal with brands.
"Our design and development is done. The design for the next generation is also done. The process is simple and can be completed in 20 days."
"If this is the case, then we might not be able to do the manufacturing ourselves."
"No problem. We can outsource to other manufacturers like Foxconn and BYD."
BYD is not only a car company or a battery company. It is also an OEM.
OEM means that the electronics company is not in charge of manufacturing the products. They are only in charge of research and development.
As for the manufacturing, it will be handed over to the OEM.
This model can speed up the manufacturing process and capture the market share.
Professionals do professional things. A factory that specializes in OEM will definitely do it better and faster than you do it yourself.
This model is what Apple did in Feng Yu's previous life.
Huawei did the same.
Xiaomi did the same.
China is also doing the same. But many electronics manufacturers have their own electronics processing plants.
Quite a few of them would be produced on their own.
If his scale was big enough, it would not be a problem for him to be a OEM.
But the problem was that the OEM part was not big. If all the products were to be produced by themselves, it would be too slow.
"OEM can speed up the process, but the cost will increase."
"It will increase in the beginning, but it won't increase by much once the quantity is large."
Chen Yu said, "It's acceptable to increase the cost to a certain extent. What we need to do now is to quickly occupy the market. Of course, we can also expand our own processing plant in the future. "
Chen Yu also agreed with Foxconn and BYD's model.
Although this kind of processing plant didn't have the technology, if it was made to scale, it was also a kind of strength.
In the future, if his OEM could reach the level of Foxconn and BYD, Chen Yu would have an additional countermeasure when the time came for a trade war.
In fact, it was also possible to develop and produce it himself.
However, regardless of whether it was their own research and development or their own production, they had to expand the scale in order to reduce the cost to the extreme.
Just like Samsung in his previous life.
If they could reach the scale of Samsung's OEM factory, they wouldn't need Foxconn and BYD.
"Okay, I'll immediately talk to the major OEM factories."
Wu Kai nodded.
"Okay."
Chen Yu continued, "In addition to the OEM factory, we also have to keep up with the sales. Although our current product hasn't been launched yet, we can first use our prototype to contact the major mobile phone stores. "
"Oh right, we have to continue increasing our marketing staff."
After all, the Tianyu series wasn't a big brand.
Chen Yu didn't expect to make the Tianyu series into a brand.
Since he didn't want to create a brand, naturally, Chen Yu wouldn't do TV commercials.
However, even if he didn't do TV commercials, he still had to do other promotions.
Marketing staff was the best way to promote and promote.
They could quickly go deep into the major mobile phone stores in the country and personally recommend to them.
Especially in third and fourth-tier cities, marketing staff often played a key role.
Previously, Chen Yu had already witnessed the frightening marketing ability of the local marketing staff during Huanyu Mall's home appliance strategy.
This time, Chen Yu planned to let the marketing staff work in all directions.
These marketing staff were not only limited to urban areas, but they also had to go deep into countless towns and villages.
In short, wherever there were people, the marketing staff had to go.
Chen Yu wanted the Tianyu series to go to every corner of the country.
"Oh, I'll ask Huanyu Technologies to help with the marketing. We don't have to start over."
Seeing that Zhou Yifei wanted to say something, Chen Yu added.
Huanyu Technologies had been doing the marketing for a long time.
After all, there were too many businesses, such as e-commerce and online games.
Now, with the addition of the mobile phone business, the marketing team could unleash their full potential.
Then, Chen Yu and Wu Kai and Zhou Yifei talked about other arrangements for the company.
In the following time, the first mobile phone of the Tianyu series was on the road at the speed of a rocket.
At this moment.
None of the mobile phone manufacturers in the country would have thought that a mobile phone that would cause a sensation in the country was about to be born.
…
"How is the design of the new product?"
"Mr. Duan, the preliminary design plan has been completed and is being revised."
"Mhmm, when is it expected to go on the market?"
"Three months."
Bubugao.
Duan Yongping went to the United States for half a month and came back to ask his three disciples about the mobile phone situation.
"Three months is a bit slow."
"Mr. Duan, it's already very fast."
"But as far as I know, Pear Technologies has already entered the production stage."
It was difficult to rely on Sumitomo for manufacturing matters.
Bubugao soon found out that Pear Technologies was going to enter the mobile phone industry.
Although Chen Yu had already told Duan Yongping at that time.
But it was one thing to say it, and it was another thing to do it.
Now it seemed that Chen Yu had the same idea as him and started to make mobile phones.
And judging from their speed, he already had plans to make mobile phones.
Thinking of this, Duan Yongping smiled bitterly.
Back then, he proposed to break up with Chen Yu.
He was older than Chen Yu, but he was not as calm as Chen Yu.
"Mr. Duan, we also received the news."
Chen Wei, chief designer of Bubugao, said, "We learned from Pear Technologies' component suppliers that the components they purchase are very low-end products. I think Pear Technologies should be in the low-end mobile phone market. We are in the mid-range, so there will be no direct competition with us."
"In addition, there is a design blueprint of their mobile phone circulating. I took a look. Not only is there no technical content, but from the design blueprint, the quality of the entire product is not guaranteed. In addition, the exterior design is very ordinary, and can even be said to be ugly … "
Chen Wei was worried about Chen Yu of Huanyu Technologies before.
After all, Pear MP3 was designed by Chen Yu. If Chen Yu made mobile phones, it could really threaten Bubugao.
But when he saw this design blueprint, Chen Wei was completely relieved.
Even if Chen Yu's design ability was good, they did not have the research and development ability to match it.
This was like sports cars. If you could design a sports car, you could not mass-produce a sports car.
The cost, technology … and other issues involved were not as simple as imagined.
In Chen Wei's mind, it must be that Pear Technologies did not have much technical content, so they could only go the low-end route first.
However, even if they went the low-end route, Chen Wei was thinking, would anyone buy such an ugly mobile phone?
