Chapter 28
Now at MIT, Bao Zixuan's name is regarded as a celebrity. After he proposed the genius idea of Industry 4.0, he immediately got the school's attention, and even many well-known professors joined the discussion on this topic.
After a week of learning **** Xuan's theoretical knowledge and broad ideas, it has been widely recognized by the classmates. Even after class, there are more and more people who communicate with him, but everyone is new to him and doesn't know much about him. Most of the topics discussed were limited to mechanical manufacturing and CNC machine tools. In fact, he also has to observe the abilities of these people to see if they can be used by him.
During the weekend, Bao Zixuan returned to the company. Next Monday will be the day when the North American branch of Heiyun will open. It is impossible for his boss to be a hands-off shopkeeper. After the good performance in the Asian market and the Canadian market, after the agreement with Pan Jianwen was reached, Bao Zixuan shipped 200 game consoles to Canada by plane; the follow-up orders reached more than 4,000 units; however, the follow-up can only be shipped by sea , whether it is air or sea, Bao Zixuan arranged for the company to pay all the freight. Pan Jianwen is a noble person who started by himself, and he cannot forget his roots in life.
The two games of Heiyun, Xiangjiang Cube and Pac-Man, have made the distributors in the world's largest market pay attention to the dynamics of Heiyun in the US market. Before, many people wanted to obtain agency rights, and even many companies and institutions went to Xiangjiang to negotiate, but refused on the grounds of production capacity problems and the chairman going to the US to test the market in person.
I heard that the North American branch of Black Cloud Games will open in Cambridge next Monday. Flights to Boston are very popular these days.
Hashimoto Hiroshi is now taking Bao Zixuan to visit the company. In fact, Hashimoto Hiroshi sometimes laments that the young boss's authority is beyond his comprehension at RB's original company. As long as the equipment provides one model or performance, the others are ignored, and so far, it has basically not managed the company's decoration process and calculated the decoration cost. Just let him and Gu Gujirou, an employee who has just joined the company for less than a month, be responsible, plus the two bodyguards he brought. Although I did not embezzle in this process, I would still be invited out to play.
Bao Zixuan looked at this office building with a total of 3,000 square meters. The black cloud in the United States is about to set sail from here. Now the company has changed a lot compared to a week ago. The door has been replaced with the sign of Heiyun Company.
The first floor has been fully opened, except for the front desk and reception hall, there is a 500-square-meter game experience hall. It is not open to the outside world, only for the company's engineers and agents to experience. Looking at the 40 game consoles that were temporarily assembled, Bao Zixuan went to experience it, and the operating performance was able to meet customer requirements.
The second floor has been divided into a hardware office area. In the future, it will be responsible for hardware research and development, and Gucheng Jiro was directly appointed as the director here. The third floor is the software development department, and Hashimoto Hiroshi is currently the head of the software department. The fourth floor is the conference room and the office of the company's management, who is currently the only one in the management. The 5th floor is the area where the five of them rest, and the company that doesn't want to live here provides accommodation fees. Currently, Hashimoto Hiroshi and Gu Guujiro still live in the company. Let's have a girlfriend and move out in the future, this is the idea of the two of them.
After visiting the company, Bao Zixuan came to his office on the fourth floor. Looking at the financial statements handed to him by Hashimoto Hiroshi and Gu Gujiro Jiro, this was done by a newly recruited financial staff, a middle-aged woman in her 40s, adhering to the usual characteristics of Heiyun Company's recruitment, she looked a little embarrassed. However, a company that has just started, no matter how high the salary is, it is difficult to recruit those female employees who coexist with beauty and wisdom. The beauty came and thought the boss had any idea! Therefore, the female employees in Heiyun are all those who are not good-looking, but there is no problem with their ability, otherwise they will be sorry for the salary.
Looking at this professional financial statement, Bao Zixuan was still very satisfied with this financial officer. The organization is clear and the data is accurate. This is the minimum requirement for a financial person, but how many can do it!
The construction period was fast, but the cost was 1.3 times the normal cost. This is also an impossible thing, there are gains and losses. You make the workers work overtime desperately without a big increase in wages, and report it to the union. The trade unions in America will teach you how to be a human being.
The production cost here is still much higher than that of Xiangjiang, but the assembly cost of 40 game consoles is equivalent to the assembly cost of 150 to 180 in Xiangjiang. In the future, only laboratories and R&D institutions can be established here, otherwise Fees are too high. Thinking about the popularity of the two games in other markets during this period of time, Bao Zixuan immediately called Zhao Tingting in Xiangjiang. He has a new plan.
After receiving the call from the boss, Zhao Tingting started to introduce the construction and production capacity of the factory to Bao Zixuan. Hearing these Bao Zixuan is quite satisfied.
Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Zhao, how many machines do we have in stock now, and what is the daily production capacity?"
Zhao Tingting: "We now have 1,580 Xiangjiang cube game consoles in stock, and 1,800 Pac-Man. We can produce 600 units a day with sufficient raw materials."
Bao Zixuan: "You should contact Air Cargo right now to ship 500 units of Xiangjiang cubes and 700 units of Pac-Man to Boston, USA. You must be here next Tuesday. It doesn't matter if you add more money. Immediately start increasing the purchase of raw materials. , and increase efforts to recruit workers. Next time, I will send 10,000 game consoles to the United States at one time. You should contact the shipping company immediately, and I will package their ships to load our goods and reach the United States as quickly as possible."
Bao Zixuan didn't care about the task he explained, but the employees in Heiyun, Xiangjiang are going to die. A total of three Boeing 747 cargo planes were used to transport the cargo. This adds $200 to the cost per machine.
Zhao Tingting came to the Dongjia Shipping Company, which has been operating shipping from the United States to Hong Kong for a long time. In this era, there are four famous ship kings in Xiangjiang. Dong Haoyun, the founder of Dongjia Shipping Company, is one of the four major ship kings. The current shipping industry has been a little tired due to the impact of the oil crisis, and the export advantage of Heungkong has also become lower and lower, and the shipping industry of Heungkong is not very good.
At this time, Tan Jiashun, the business manager in Dong Haoyun's office, was reporting to him. Tan Jiashun is 42 years old this year. He has never left since he entered Dongjia Shipping Company at the age of 16. During this period, he also attended a marketing course at Hong Kong University. At this time, Secretary Dong Haoyun walked into the office and said that Miss Zhao from Heiyun Game Company came to ask Manager Tan for something.
In fact, what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that Tan Jiashun and Zhao Tingting were half classmates. Zhao Tingting handed over all the shipping business of Black Cloud Games to Tan Jiashun, but this is normal. After hearing the name of Heiyun Games, Dong Haoyun said, "It's the customer you just mentioned with a lot of business in the last month and a very good reputation."
Bao Zixuan decided from the very beginning that he could not owe money such as freight freight and construction fees to builders. Therefore, Heiyun will pay half of the deposit first no matter where the goods are shipped, and the balance will be paid immediately after the customer signs and accepts it. He just wants to make everyone who works with him reluctant to lose his client.
Tan Jiashun: "Yes, boss. This Miss Zhao is the deputy general manager of Heiyun, and he is in charge of the operation of UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com Xiangjiang. She is my classmate when I was studying at Xiangjiang University. Their boss is now developing The U.S. market seems to be a success. It should be coming to us to deliver the goods."
Dong Haoyun said with a smile, "That's a good thing! You go! Don't make people wait too long."
In the parlour. "Why did Mr. Zhao come to me today, but I invited you several times and you haven't come yet;" Tan Jiashun said with a smile.
In fact, Zhao Tingting knew that she was in the company, so she had to be called formally, "Don't I need to ask Manager Tan for help? Why are you not welcome."
Tan Jiashun: "How come, you are my God of Wealth now. Tell me! Anything, as long as I can do it!"
Zhao Tingting: "I hope to ship a batch of game consoles directly from Xiangjiang to the United States in 10 days, and the time is relatively urgent. I hope that you can fully guarantee our freight speed, and do not want to ship things from other homes. You must fully protect us. Can we do it? We can pay more for the freight. A batch of machinery will come back with the ship after returning from the United States. The most important thing is that the amount is a bit large this time, and it was ordered by the boss himself. "
Tan Jiashun: "It's not a big problem, but how big a boat is needed."
Zhao Tingting: "Within 10,000 tons, it depends on how much we can produce these days."
Tan Jiashun: "That's no problem, we can do our best to guarantee it, don't worry."
So the two communicated about shipping costs and time again. Zhao Tingting returned to the company and immediately asked the finance company to transfer a deposit of 2 million to the shipping company. It made Dong Haoyun want to meet the boss of this black cloud company, who is he. It's so easy to do business. This also left a good impression on Heiyun Games in front of all the freight companies in Xiangjiang.
