Chapter 205

Quantum's first factory in Iowa is fully equipped with high-grade equipment from other planets. It is also the first manufacturing base with alliance level production level in Earth's history.

There are three more plants of the same size in Europe and Asia. If all of them are put into operation, they can produce 1200 sets of energy shield synergists every 24 hours.

In order to maximize the efficiency of the factory, all the equipment use the general model intelligent machine tools of the alliance. These machine tools can not only be used for the production of energy shield synergists, but also can be immediately transferred to production once the company launches new mechanical or electronic products, with good flexibility.

The four factories have spent more than 80% of the capital reserve in the quantum company's account. It can be said that Xiafei has made enough capital in the construction of these factories.

All the workers are skilled technicians from the front line of production. The highly paid extraterrestrial engineers specially trained them for a month. Now everything is ready. As soon as an order is given, the energy shield synergist will be continuously produced on the assembly line.

The vampire slowly landed on the open space outside the factory. Xiafei, Porter and Charlie stepped off the warship. Andre did not walk around because he was old. So Charlie accompanied Xia Fei to the factory to have a look.

The factory covers an area of thousands of hectares, and the scale is not small. The newly-built factories are all in good order.

As it has not been officially started, the workers are in the workshop for training, seize the last time to learn machine tool operation, ready for production.

Around the factory at will, old porter was full of praise for the advanced equipment introduced by Xiafei. Although the money was spent a little more, these equipment have good potential and good performance. With time, the benefits of this advanced investment will gradually show.

In the laboratory, Porter finally saw the finished product of an energy shield synergist. Charlie gave him the test parameters. Porter read it in detail and said, "the shield repair bonus of 31.27% is very good from the data, and it should have potential."

Xia Fei said with a smile, "if the equipment is manufactured completely according to the drawings, the repair rate of this kind of equipment should be more than 35%. However, the factory has not been put into operation, and the workers have no production experience. Therefore, some parameters have been modified to reduce the production difficulty. As the running in of the factory becomes more and more smooth, it will reach more than 35% one day Repair rate. "

Porter nodded. "This is very reasonable. If the production difficulty is too high and the yield rate is reduced, the cost will be increased. Besides, the repair rate of 30% is enough to open up the market."

"That's what I think. After the run in period, I will pick out more than 35% of the products separately and sell them as enhanced versions. Of course, the price should be higher." Xia Fei said.

Porter laughed, "Xia Fei, I find you have the talent to be a profiteer. The product design was originally 35, but you just regard the inferior product as the ordinary version, and the good product as the enhanced version. In this way, I'm afraid that your profit will not be doubled."

"In order to pursue the highest performance, some high-end customers will definitely choose the expensive enhanced version. After all, the value of the spaceship they can get is not low, and they don't care about spending more money. Ordinary customers can choose the standard version because the price is more affordable."

"If you set the standard at 35% at the beginning, then the product below this value will become defective. Once any product is labeled as the last product, the price will drop sharply. You'd better take the defective product as the standard product."

Xia Fei is embarrassed to scratch his scalp. In fact, in addition to the standard version and the enhanced version, there will be a super version and a cheap version in Xiafei's product planning. The standards are 25, 30, 35 and 38, respectively.

Even the most advanced machine tools and equipment can not guarantee consistent quality, because each batch of raw materials will have a small difference, even the temperature of the workshop and the proficiency of workers will have an impact on the final performance of the product.

Xiafei divides its products into four grades. In this way, it not only solves the problem of product quality gap, but also makes a fine division of the market. Even inferior products will sell the price of standard products. As for the 38% super version, it is more expensive.

"Have you received any orders yet?" Potter asked.

Order is the life of a company. If no one is willing to buy the product, even if it is of good quality, it cannot be maintained.

"At present, we have practiced several large channel suppliers, and they are very interested in this energy shield synergist. However, due to the scale and reputation of our company, these channel suppliers are still very worried. They said that they need to send a batch of samples first. If they pass the test, they will place an order."

Porter frowned. "Cooperation with channel suppliers can spread the products, but these guys will certainly keep the price down to a very low level. As a result, the company's profits will be reduced, and they will control the channel and retail prices. If possible, it is better to bypass these vampires and cooperate directly with distributors."

Old porter has now completely regarded himself as a member of the quantum company and began to put himself in the company's shoes, which made Xia Fei secretly happy."Uncle Porter, our biggest problem at present is how to extend the energy shield booster to the whole universe. If you have any good suggestions, you may as well say so." Xia Fei asked.

In the complex and changeable pan human alliance, businessmen have already done their business to the extreme. As the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. However, contemporary marketing experience tells us that the better the wine is, the more afraid the alley is. No matter how good the product is, it is difficult to achieve its due value without excellent marketing means.

For example, there is a variety of equipment competition between the Navy's top command and the Navy, such as the Navy's highest level of equipment procurement

"Competitions like this not only have audiences all over the universe, but also involve some of the most powerful departments and groups in the league. I believe that with the powerful ability of the energy shield synergist, we can certainly stand out in these competitions. If even the Navy Department adopts this equipment, does it still need to be advertised?" Old Potter said with a smile.

Does Xia Fei know that uncle Porter himself is the champion of the golden finger competition of the mechanic Association for three consecutive times, so he is naturally familiar with these competitions.

"Uncle Porter, I have also considered these ideas, but these high-level competitions require very high qualification of contestants. The company has not yet the qualification to participate in the competition. We can participate in those small competitions, but the advertising effect will undoubtedly be much worse, and we will not be able to achieve the best publicity effect. Therefore, we all have a headache." Charlie said next.

Porter laughed. "Charlie, you forget that these competitions can be played not only in the name of the company, but also by individuals. Isn't there a suitable person right now?"

"Uncle Porter, would you like to represent your company? That would be wonderful! " Charlie said excitedly.

Porter shook his head and pointed to Xia Fei with one hand. "It's not convenient for me to show up in public, but Xia Fei has this condition. He is a good fighter pilot, mechanical maintenance and even product design foundation. He is also a member of the adjudicator's Union, so it's very appropriate for him to participate in the competition."

In fact, old porter's idea coincides with Xia Fei's. There are not many choices to achieve league level publicity in a short period of time. It is the most appropriate way to improve his own popularity by participating in various competitions and bidding conferences.

After all, the cost of participating in several competitions or bidding is relatively low, which is a drop in the ocean compared with the overwhelming advertising campaign. Moreover, it is much better to convince others through real competition than to exaggerate advertising.

It's just that Xia Fei hasn't decided which competition to take part in. The pan human alliance is so big that it's hard to describe it in words. There are so many organizations of various forces that they can't participate in any competition. That's unrealistic.

Xia Fei thought for a moment and asked, "uncle, you are more experienced. In your opinion, which events can achieve the best publicity effect?"

Porter laughed. "You're asking the right person. When I was young, I was very obsessed with these star races. It's a pity that I didn't participate in all the competitions."

Looking for a quiet office, Xia Fei turns on the microcomputer, and old porter points to the light screen, and quickly calls up several high-end events that have started in recent months.

"I think it's most appropriate to participate in these competitions and bidding." "More than three months later, the Supreme Command's single ship super competition is about to begin. This competition requires competitors to use fixed types of warships for elimination. There is no requirement for ship modification, and any new equipment is allowed," Porter said

"This is very beneficial to us. Usually, the organizers will require participants to use fixed accessories for refitting. As a brand-new product, it is impossible to enter the supplier list in a short period of time. Therefore, it is only possible to participate in this kind of event without specifying the type of accessories."

"Of course, this competition also has its disadvantages. Many competitors will spend a lot of money to buy the league's top-level accessories and install them on warships in pursuit of maximum performance. I'm afraid we don't have extra funds to buy expensive top-level accessories at present."

After all, it is far from fair to assemble a top-level warship with many accessories.

At present, Xiafei still has some deposits in his account, but all these money have their own uses. Moreover, even if all the funds are invested in, it may not be able to get the upper hand in performance, because assembly investment is like bottomless pit, and no amount of money can fill it.

Porter smile, "we can try this game, you are still very good at the operation of warships, although the equipment is not as good as the opponent, but also has the strength to fight."

"If this event fails to win, there is no need to worry, because there is a more reasonable competition to warm up the first race, and the second match will have a great chance." Potter said excitedly. (to be continued, please visit www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading! )www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
