Age of Dreams

() Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Qi continued to purchase several other important but relatively small components of the tablet computer.

The first is the horn.

A good electronic device, the speaker is a small but absolutely important part.

The various materials and processes of the speakers are very particular. If they are made casually, it is very likely that a product that is very good in itself will be ruined.

Just imagine, if everyone is very active in playing tablet games, but the sound made by the speakers is like broken gongs and drums, are you still interested in playing games?

Fortunately, in recent years, Huaguo has become the world's factory. Many large audio equipment companies' speaker products are OEM in Huaguo. As a result, many factories have mastered excellent technology, and it is not difficult at all to produce miniature and excellent speaker components. .

Originally, Xiao Qi wanted to find a local company in Shuchuan, but Huaguo's manufacturing industry is mostly in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and eastern Guangdong. Shuchuan is not proficient in speakers at all, so under the introduction of Cai Guozhi, he found a company named A Chinese private enterprise of Fidelity Technology.

Although Fidelity Technology is not well-known, it used to manufacture mobile phone speakers for Nokia and Motorola. It has been doing it for about 12 years. Their speakers occupy the largest part of the speaker parts of the two major mobile phone manufacturers. It can be seen that their strength is still very strong.

For the order given by Fairy Company, Fidelity Technology also attaches great importance to it. It has made several phone calls to communicate with Xiao Qi before, and when Xiao Qi has free time, their general manager rushed over directly, and Xiao Qi was the same size. One yard to determine the cooperation matters.

The speakers cost ten yuan each, and the annual order volume is 50 million. The five-year contract was signed in one go, which made the general manager of Fidelity Technology and his party laugh from ear to ear.

Xiao Qi is really generous, and he didn't push so hard like foreigners when negotiating the price, so that their gross profit rate can reach around 20.

The most important thing is that he pays in RMB. These years, the RMB appreciates every day. If he earns US dollars, he will turn from profit to loss in a few days. It is better to settle in the local currency.

Xiao Qi’s money is quite enough. Correspondingly, his requirements are not low, which are higher than the average standard of Nokia, but this kind of technology is already very mature in Fidelity Technology. Do it, there must be only one that does it better.

The contract was still made by the American law firm, and the restrictions one by one were so strict that the general manager couldn't help but be vigilant inwardly: this young man seems to be a harsh master, and he must do a good job seriously when the time comes. To avoid embarrassment at the beginning of the cooperation, I am really sorry for the price given by others.

In addition to the speaker, another slightly simpler thing is the metal case of the tablet.

The shell of the iPad tablet computer, including the back shell and the rectangular frame on the surface, is made of aluminum alloy, which is silvery white and very beautiful.

But in fact, the technical content of the aluminum alloy shell is not high, as long as it is a high-level b-level, it can already meet the use standard.

However, Xiao Qi felt that the previous ipad casing was too monotonous. If in addition to silver and white, it could also be made into seven colors of green, orange, yellow, green, red, blue and purple in the color spectrum, it would seem to be more colorful.

Whatever it is, the ipad hasn't come out anyway, the boy is the "father of tablet computers", he can do whatever he wants, and no one else can criticize it.

The process of adding color is not complicated. For the purpose of supporting local manufacturers, Xiao Qi informed Yu Chengsheng before going to the capital.

Then, with the help of Li Baohong, he selected eight aluminum alloy manufacturers in Shuchuan Province. After a series of processes such as grinding, mold making, finished products, and coloring, he just returned to Rongcheng and checked them according to his memory. After various samples, a total of three manufacturers with outstanding strength were selected as suppliers of aluminum alloy casings for ipads.

Xiao Qi is aware of the inferior nature of these domestic factories. When making orders for foreign companies, he can basically produce high-quality products that meet foreign requirements without being urged; but if he wants to switch to domestic companies to provide products, that is If you can procrastinate, you can procrastinate, and if you can reduce the quality, you can reduce the quality... It seems very polarized.

Therefore, when the young man signed the contract, he put forward strict requirements on the quality of the product. If the unqualified rate reaches 5 out of 10,000, the manufacturer will pay the most severe financial compensation.

It's a pity that Xiao Qi's thoughts were in vain. The attitude of the three big factories that won the bid is called a groveling, obviously they already know Xiao Qi's background, and who is behind Xiao Qi's backing. With Yu Chengsheng around, how could they move those extremely boring little thoughts?

There is a saying that the most fearful thing is that domestic officials do things seriously, and this sentence can also be applied to state-owned enterprises. Usually, if they really do things with their heart, then relying on their strong technical reserves and personnel, Regardless of production quality or speed, it can be called the number one in China.

Xiao Qi, the king of dismantling machines, can tell the good from the bad even with his eyes closed for a product with no technical content like the aluminum alloy casing.

Although I don't know which manufacturer produced the aluminum alloy casing of the iPad in the previous life, but as far as the dozens of casings he holds in his hand, including the back casing and the square metal frame, the quality, feel and color are no longer comparable to those of the iPad. Poor back cover.

Once the whole machine is assembled and various tests and adjustments are completed, mass production of at least 50 million aluminum alloy casings can begin.

Xiao Qi's control over their profits is far inferior to that of Qiao's gang leader and the others. The purchase price is set at 80 yuan each. The profit of large aluminum alloy manufacturers can reach at least 15, which is enough for them to make a lot of money.

Another is the language system of the tablet computer.

The reason why Apple's products are so popular is that their products cover almost all languages. As long as you adjust to the language mode of your own country, you can use the most familiar way to experience Apple technology. Bring fun and enjoyment, instead of adapting to other people's culture and usage habits like the previous parallel imported mobile phones.

The production of the language system is closely related to the fairy cao operating system, but even though the fairy cao operating system is not yet complete, it is only some improvements that do not involve the use of functional instructions.

Therefore, Xiao Qi has long asked American hacker consultants to take out all the functional data and language commands of the system, and thus made a cao operation mode and language system that can support various languages, and will eventually pass The finished products are consistent.
