Chapter 304 Company Planning
Xia Jianyong said respectfully: "Bai Sheng, don't worry! I will have a good chat with Boss Du."
Bai Zirui continued: "Hutchison Company itself has its own arcade factory. From now on, we will only provide them with arcade motherboards, and they will assemble and produce arcade machines by themselves.
Originally, out of consideration of squeezing the profit margins of copycat factories, I offered Hutchison Company a lower shipping price than those in Europe, America, and Japan. Now this discount is gone! From now on, I will supply Hutchison Company’s motherboard quotation with Square Enix, the American agent.
They treat everyone equally!”
Arcade production decided to choose the outsourcing model. But the choice of foundry is also very particular. First of all, the scale of the OEM should not be too small, and it must be able to meet the large order demand of Oriental Electronics.
Secondly, the management level and quality control level of the factory must be relatively perfect. At least the game consoles manufactured can meet the quality standards of Dingtian Game Company. The foundry must also agree to accept the supervision of the game, including quality supervision and supervision of the whereabouts of raw materials, and decide
Counterfeit game consoles produced with the same parts are not allowed to appear on the market.
Xu Zhihao recommended Kangjie Electronics and Dongsheng Electronics to Bai Zirui. These two electronics factories are medium-sized electronics factories with about a hundred employees. They have relatively complete management and meet quality requirements.
Bai Zirui said: "The scale is a bit small, so we will provide guarantees and let two electronic companies, Kangjie and Dongsheng, borrow HK$10 million each from HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank respectively to expand the scale and meet our OEM order needs."
Procurement Department Director Wang Zhixiang reported: "This month's supplier bidding matter, so far, we have received bids from dozens of companies including Xiangjiang local, Wanwan, Waguo, Singapore, South Korea, etc."
Bai Zirui said: "On the premise that there is not much difference in technology, local enterprises in Xiangjiang should be given priority. One branch blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming will fill the garden. Only the overall progress of Xiangjiang's electronic technology industry can we rely on Xiangjiang in the future to comprehensively
Lay a solid foundation to enter the field of electronic technology industry."
In Bai Zirui's vision, Dingtian Company will be a queen bee, cultivating a large group of worker bees with clear division of labor and obedient command in the hive of Xiangjiang. They will either be upstream suppliers of parts and raw materials, or carry out
Downstream assembly plants for OEM business.
For example, the HK$100 million he invested in this scientific research (HK$50 million from Hong Kong University, HK$30 million from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and HK$20 million from the Hong Kong Polytechnic) has wiped out all the scientific research capabilities of electronic technology majors in several universities in Hong Kong. This is equivalent to HK$2,000.
If an investment of 10,000 U.S. dollars is placed in prestigious schools such as Stanford and Berkeley, it will only be picking up the leftovers of multinational companies such as IBM, Intel, Motorola, and Bell.
Secondly, there is the issue of the ownership of Hong Kong. The entire Hong Kong society has become impetuous and confused about the future. The British Hong Kong government not only failed to provide correct guidance, but continued to add fuel to the flames behind the scenes.
Although Xiangjiang's electronic technology industry has a weak foundation and is not suitable for taking root as a hive, in contrast, Japan's Silicon Valley is the center leading the development of high-tech. Bai Zirui has already thought deeply about this issue. Silicon Valley has the advantages of Silicon Valley, but Xiangjiang does not.
It's not useless.
This not only caused a serious loss of talent in Xiangjiang, but also caused enterprises in Xiangjiang to excessively pursue short-term benefits. The overall electronic technology industry in Xiangjiang has no long-term planning and layout.
Dingtian Company's Silicon Valley R&D center has begun preparations for construction. Beautiful Country is Dingtian Company's most important overseas market and a holy land for leading technological innovation, so it will naturally be carefully laid out.
Bai Zirui knows how to distinguish between priorities. Xiangjiang is his place of establishment and the easiest home field to control. What's more, the development trend in the next few decades is that the entire electronic technology manufacturing industry is rapidly moving toward Asia, especially East Asia and
Transfer to Southeast Asia.
This caused Xiangjiang to miss the opportunity to share the dividends brought by the rapid economic growth of the mainland. On the contrary, a large number of enterprises in the Gulf invested heavily in the mainland and made a lot of money.
Bai Zirui's network now includes Lu's Electronics Company, which provides arcade displays to Dingtian Game Company. Lu Qintian, the general manager of Xiangjiang Lu's Electronics Company, was originally a middle school teacher in Gaoyao County, eastern Guangdong.
After coming to Hong Kong, he and his wife, Ms. Zheng Qiang, founded Lu's Electronics Company from scratch.
Before Bai Zirui was reborn, mainland China's electronic technology industry had begun to upgrade and transform, gradually getting rid of its status as the world's factory and transforming into operating brands. A large number of electronic technology companies represented by Haier, Huawei, etc. began to cooperate with European and American companies around the world.
Engage in fierce market competition.
Due to the rising cost of human resources, Xiangjiang's industry will continue to move north to the mainland in the next ten years, but now compared to the labor costs in beautiful countries and other countries, it can still be called cheap.
Since Bai Zirui is aware of the direction of history, he naturally does not want this historical tragedy to happen again. Therefore, he wants to build a network to allow the entire electronic technology industry in Hong Kong to develop according to his layout.
The company's focus should be on early-stage research and development and later-stage sales. The entire production process in the middle should only control the most critical nodes, and other parts will be outsourced.
First of all, the non-intervention policy of the Hong Kong government itself is a harm to the development of Hong Kong's electronic technology industry. In contrast, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, all of which are also the Four Asian Tigers, have regarded the electronic technology industry, especially semiconductors as the representative
The high-tech electronic technology industry has been regarded as a key supporting industry and has been provided with preferential support in terms of policies and funds.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Japan's electronic technology industry defeated the beautiful countries and Europe. After the 21st century, electronic technology companies in Taiwan and South Korea trampled on Japanese companies again.
The reason why Hong Kong enterprises have not made much waves in the world's electronic technology industry in the future is because of the inaction of the British Hong Kong government.
In just five years, the couple has developed Lu's Electronics into the largest TV manufacturer in Hong Kong, with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of black and white and color TVs, and their products are sold throughout the Southeast Asian market.
Lu Qintian knew that Lu's company was not strong enough to compete with European, American and Japanese companies. In order to win the display screen order from Dingtian Game Company, he even offered to let Dingtian Company take a stake in Lu's company.
In addition, there are Hongfeng Electronics Company that provides motherboard power supplies, Xinnuo Electronics Company that provides various capacitors, resistors and other auxiliary accessories, Litong Electronics Company that is responsible for OEM production of some arcade game cards. As well as Jiekang Electronics and Co., Ltd. which are preparing to be included.
Dongsheng Electronics.
As Dingtian's business continues to expand, more and more Xiangjiang electronic technology companies will join this interest chain system.
These companies that join the Dingtian Company system can benefit from Dingtian Company's large number of orders, technical guidance, management training, partial shareholding and other means, and will be more and more closely integrated with Dingtian Company.
