The first thought that came to Su Yun's mind was doubt.
The inventor of such an advanced and powerful product like the Wa-wah robot should be very powerful. He should be around 40 years old and have a PhD with thick glasses.
But Head He's son was only 20 years old. He was so young, and he looked … ordinary. He did not look very powerful.
How could it be him?
However, she did not dare to voice out her suspicions. She only smiled and turned to He Li. "Director, your son is too awesome. I didn't expect the Wa-wah robot to be invented by your son. Awesome, really awesome!" She gave her a thumbs up.
"This is the work of my company's research and development team. It's not my own invention … My mom is exaggerating," Chen Jin said plainly as he put down the Wa-wah in his hand.
"Oh …"
Only then did Su Yun nod her head. The suspicion in her heart had turned into 70% suspicion and 30% belief.
Perhaps the Wa-wah robot was really created by the company of Head He's son.
After lunch.
She sat in the living room and chatted with Head He for a while.
Until she said goodbye and returned to her dormitory.
Su Yun was in a trance and absent-minded state. Her eyes kept glancing at Head He's son unconsciously.
Even when Head He's leaving for the company, Su Yun's attention was always on him until the back of Head He's back disappeared.
She muttered to herself, "Could it be that what Head He said was true?"
"Little Su, what do you think of my son? He's not bad, right? "Suddenly, she heard Head He's voice and saw a smiling face.
"Ah!"
Su Yun panicked. Her heart skipped a beat and her face turned red. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes. Head, your son is very powerful." Her face turned even redder after she said that.
"Hahahaha!"
Her female subordinate's reaction made He Li laugh with a meaningful expression.
Su Yun was even more embarrassed. She immediately said goodbye and left as if she was running away.
…
Xing Hai Technologies.
The Wa-wah robot's first day of pre-orders exceeded 500,000 units. All the stocks were snapped up.
In fact, the so-called "stocks" referred to the parts that had not been assembled in Ling Feng Jing Mi Company's warehouse, not the finished product.
Only the assembly line factory of Ling Feng Jing Mi Company was operating at full capacity. The workers entered a state of working in three shifts. One by one, the Wa-wah robots came off the assembly line and were tested.
Only then could the Wa-wah robot be packaged and sent out. Working with logistics companies, the product could be sold to millions of households.
He picked up his phone and called Wang Quan Long.
"President Wang, what's the daily output of the Wa-wah robot in the assembly line now?"
"Less than 2,000 units. We are trying everything we can to increase the production and reach the maximum operating condition!"
"Only two thousand?"
Chen Jin furrowed his brows. "Our promise to our customers was that we would start delivering the goods within two weeks, and all of them would be delivered within four weeks. Your production is too low!"
"Yes, we know! But it's spring now, and it's especially difficult to recruit workers. The production line is operating at less than 10%, and some employees have even asked to resign, causing the production to be unable to go up at all … I'm so anxious that I'm about to smoke. "
Wang Quan Long said in a hoarse voice.
"Why can't you recruit anyone?"
With a strange look on his face, Chen Jin asked, "Wouldn't it be easier to recruit workers if your company raised the remuneration a little more? With a generous reward, there will definitely be brave men!"
A bitter laugh came from the other side of the phone. "Hey! President Chen, you're oversimplifying the problem. The OEM fee you gave me was 5% per unit. For every Wa-wah robot produced, Ling Feng only earns $185 in OEM fees. Do you think this figure is very high? To tell you the truth, out of $185, the factory's operating costs take up $55, the country takes $30, and the workers' various expenses take up $80. The profit that belongs to the factory is only $20!
If I increase the workers' wages, do you think this OEM factory can continue operating without a single cent of profit? "
This was the reason why Wang Quan Long had previously tried his best to persuade Chen Jin to set the price of the Wa-wah robot at more than $5,000. $5,000 multiplied by 5% meant that Ling Feng Jing Mi Company could earn a gross profit of more than $250 for each robot produced. That was an extra profit of $70!
Naturally, Wang Quan Long was willing to be more generous. He would provide better remuneration and conditions to recruit enough workers.
But the price of $3,699 … filled his heart with resentment.
From this, it could be seen how competitive the OEM industry was, and how difficult it was to develop the real economy.
Chen Jin was a little embarrassed. He thought for a while and said, "Uh, how about this, I'll round it up for you. For each Wa-wah robot, I'll add another $15 as OEM fees! You can use this extra money to improve the workers' wages and recruit more people into the factory. Quickly complete the order of 500,000 units. If we don't deliver the goods after a long time, there will be a huge negative impact. "
"Alright, no problem. I'll immediately increase the wages of the workers. With the fastest efficiency, I'll ensure that the production line reaches saturation."
Wang Quan Long did some calculations. $15 per robot, multiplied by 500,000, would be 7.5 million. This would increase the average wage of the workers by about $2,000, reaching the standard of $8,000 per month. This level of wage was definitely quite attractive. He was not afraid of not being able to recruit people.
In addition, even though the real economy was difficult to run, and Wang Quan Long was very good at making himself miserable, the OEM industry was still a very promising industry.
For example, the product yield rate. In the production contract signed between Xing Hai Technologies and Ling Feng Jing Mi Company, the agreed product yield rate was 88%. That meant that out of 100 Wa-wah robots, more than 88 would be qualified products.
If Wang Quan Long's Ling Feng Jing Mi Company had the ability to increase the yield rate to 90%, 95%, or even higher, then the additional quality products would be equivalent to additional profits. The higher the yield rate, the higher the profits.
And the yield control was coincidentally Wang Quan Long's area of expertise.
…
On Earth.
His business was thriving. Everything was developing smoothly. He was basically on the right track.
Other than the production capacity issues at the OEM factory that needed coordination, there was not much for him to worry about.
He planned to take a good rest and adjust his condition.
Meanwhile, on Haierfa, the robot exploration team had a huge harvest.
They had found a country.
what？
Even a country could be found? How? What the hell was this?
In fact, the robot exploration team had crossed an abandoned national border about a thousand kilometers southwest of the Base of Operations. They had entered a hot, dry, semi-arid zone. According to the characteristics of the terrain, latitude, and climate of the area, they had basically confirmed that they had entered the territory of a country called the "Moleiduo Republic."
The country had an area of about 1.8 million square kilometers and a population of more than 100 million (before the destructive war). It was a relatively prosperous medium-sized country.
After the destructive war broke out, the country adopted a strict policy of neutrality. It was also a non-nuclear country. Therefore, it was not within the attack range of nuclear bombs. Basically, it had never been attacked by nuclear bombs and suffered less radiation pollution.
Since most of the country's territory was located in the tropics, it was relatively hot. During the 20-year nuclear winter, the number of survivors who sought refuge in the country was more than 300 million.
After the robots betrayed humanity, the robot army launched wave after wave of attacks on the Moleiduo Republic. Finally, they conquered the Moleiduo Republic and wiped out all the survivors.
Therefore, in the Moleiduo Republic, there were things that could be found everywhere: abandoned battlefields, relatively intact cities, gold and silver treasures left by human survivors, and so on.
