Chapter 173

It can be said that Bao Zixuan did a lot of things when he returned to Xiangjiang this time, including the completion of factory construction, university planning, acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, participation in tycoon banquets, and the most important thing is to establish contact with the mainland. Through this purchase, Maotai and Wuliangye have established cooperative relations with the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and investment in the mainland will certainly be much smoother in the future.

After arranging Xiangjiang's affairs, baozixuan set out to return to the United States. Because he had to go back, the prototype of digital camera had been successfully developed, and baozixuan had to do the final finalization and test.

However, before going back, the welfare benefits of Hutchison Whampoa employees were improved, although they did not keep up with heiyun. The salary and bonus are still a lot worse, but the food standard has been synchronized with black cloud. Although other major shareholders have some opinions, they don't say much about the rising share price. If heiyun really privatizes Hutchison Whampoa because of this incident, there will be no such good opportunity to make a fortune in the future.

Many employees of heiyun now hold shares in Hutchison Whampoa, which is also a disguised employee stock ownership plan. Baozixuan wondered if he could increase the shareholding ratio of heiyun employees in Hutchison Whampoa company in the future. Blackcloud group has no employee stock ownership plan for the time being, but these are things in the future, and we have to go step by step.

In her mother's reluctance, she left Xiangjiang again and came to the United States. This time, he will not only finish his graduation thesis in the United States, but also participate in the Los Angeles electronic technology exhibition held in March.

After completing the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, baozixuan suddenly left Xiangjiang, which baffled many media who wanted to find this young president for an exclusive interview. For so rich and so low-key young people, they really don't understand. The most important thing is to hand over the enterprise to the existing management team, which is different from no acquisition.

The employees of Hehuang felt the benefits. Now they are warmly welcome to Bao Shoufu as their boss. In fact, baozixuan doesn't know how to run Hutchison Whampoa now. In the previous life, I still know some about science and technology enterprises, and I have basically never been in contact with this traditional industry. Now it seems that we can only cross the river by feeling the stone. At present, it is also the best choice for Weili to continue to manage the company.

After returning to Boston, baozixuan came to the company for the first time and looked at three new cameras. Baozixuan was very satisfied. All three cameras were designed by students of the New York Institute of visual arts. The design concept is very advanced and personalized. Baozixuan knows that the performance of the digital camera can not catch up with the traditional camera. It can only surpass them in appearance and concept, so as to attract consumers to buy.

After picking up one of them and taking a picture, I saw that an image was generated immediately on the screen. Although compared with the digital camera I used in my previous life, the image seems a little blurred. However, the basic functions can meet the requirements, and the image processing is not weak at all. Looking at the camera next to him, baozixuan knew that the engineers dug from Carl Zeiss were really worth their money.

Bao Zixuan said to Steven Cezanne, the chief designer of the digital camera, "Steven, please introduce the performance of the digital camera."

Steven Cezanne has devoted himself to the research and development of digital cameras since he came to blackcloud group, which is much better here than when he was at Kodak. No matter the capital investment, the cooperation of various departments and the personnel status are better than Kodak. So that he can devote himself to his work.

Kodak is always worried that the Department will be banned at any time, and its R & D investment is always stretched. There is no security at all. There are no such problems in the black cloud. It was for this reason that the R & D speed was so fast, and many Kodak employees who did not follow to black cloud later came here to join the team.

In fact, these are easy to explain. Other companies don't know what direction to develop. Because heiyun has the boss of baozixuan, many things can be arranged in advance.

Steven Cezanne: "boss, colleagues. Our black cloud digital camera now has three styles and two grades. One professional camera can reach 5 million pixels, and the other two are ordinary cameras with 3 million pixels. "

"The lens is completely produced by heiyun Xiangjiang factory, but the output is not very high at present. A memory card can store 256 photos, which is much more convenient than starting and handing in papers. Lithium battery can take 500 photos. It can basically meet the shooting needs, but there are still some difficulties for outdoor photography lovers. They need to prepare more batteries and memory cards. "

"The photos can be displayed on the black cloud illusion 1100 laptop. With the image processing software developed by the boss, you can process and modify the photos on the computer. As long as you connect a printer, you can print the photos, which is very convenient."

Bao Zixuan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Now there are still too few Carl Zeiss engineers. In addition, the lens of the lithography machine has to be polished, resulting in the inability of the lens output of the digital camera. The optical lens is one of the most precise instruments in the world. It is not polished well without more than 10 years of skill. Now it seems that we can only strengthen the cooperation with Carl Zeiss. Relying on the local cultivation of Xiangjiang, there is no effect in more than 15 years.

Bao Zixuan: "what about the cost! Have you checked it? "

After hearing Bao Zixuan's words, Hashimoto replied: "the lens of the 5-megapixel digital camera alone costs US $600, and the cost of the whole machine is US $1400. The cost of a 3 megapixel camera is $8 million, which is indeed a little higher than that of a traditional camera. However, this is limited by the use of too many new concepts and processes. During mass production, R & D funds will be shared, and the cost will be reduced. "

"We can't price a 5 megapixel camera less than $2600, otherwise there will be no profit. The 3 megapixel camera should be priced at $1700. "

"Mr. President, our R & D funds are really high. After a year of production, the cost should come down. "

Hashimoto ho knows his weakness. His mind is much worse than that of other researchers. He has basically started scientific research in heiyun. He is now changing to a management position. If he is like Koichiro, he will be satisfied. So he has now become a visiting student at Harvard Business School, which is a costly opportunity.

If he doesn't improve himself in the management position now, Hashimoto knows that one day he will be eliminated by the company. This is the island consciousness, and the sense of crisis is always strong.

Bao Zixuan: "then set the price at $2888 and $1388, so as to achieve price difference marketing. Otherwise, it would be difficult for both of our cameras to find a suitable consumer. "

Hearing Bao Zixuan finish, they feel that there is some truth. Otherwise, there is no difference in the prices of the two cameras, which will make the distinction between high-end customers and low-end customers unclear, and the choice of professional photographers and photographers is not obvious enough.

This digital camera is not just the research and development of digital cameras. Now flash cards, lithium batteries and optical lenses have been successfully developed. These can be products that can expand business.

Flash memory card can be used as a carrier for storing documents, data and other types. Lithium batteries can be used in more fields. As long as they are electronic products, they can't be used. Therefore, baozixuan specially purchased a Panasonic battery production line.

In fact, the process of lithium battery itself is not complex, but people didn't find materials to stabilize it until the 1990s. As a man of science and technology, baozixuan happened to have read reports about this and knew the specific formula proportion, which won the lithium battery technology.

Optical lens can be applied to cameras, mobile phones, surveillance and other devices with shooting function. It can't be reflected now. It's definitely an industry that can't receive orders in the future. Sony existed in the past.

Now these patents are in the hands of black cloud. In the future, if enterprises close down, they can live a rich life by collecting patent fees.
