A few months ago, Wan Feng promised Gu Hongzhong that all the profits generated by the learning machine, except for the factory employees' salaries and various expenses, would be invested in semiconductor research, no matter how much money was available.
We will recruit whatever talents we need.
Each learning machine factory can make a net profit of 70 to 80 yuan. In the past two months, Huaguang has saved tens of millions of yuan.
Wan Feng told Gu Hongzhong that he would use the money to recruit some talented people in a few days.
Gu Hongzhong firmly believed that Wan Feng could defeat the person, but this was not his focus.
Huaguang Electronics plans to start small-batch trial production of BB machines in five days, which is what he is concerned about.
The cost of a pager has been revealed. A small pager costs about 750 yuan.
This surprised Wan Feng a little.
"It's so small but the cost is so high. It costs much more than a learning machine, but a learning machine is much larger than it."
Gu Hongzhong was amused. "Boss Wan! Electronic products are not more valuable the bigger they are, but the smaller they are, the more valuable they are."
Wan Feng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case with electronic products: the bigger they were, the less valuable they were.
"As shipments increase, costs will decrease accordingly. For every 10,000 units installed, the cost can drop by more than ten yuan. If more advanced chips are produced, or if we find alternative electronic components, the cost will drop even further. I predict that the cost will be incredibly low in the future."
This is inevitable. The most valuable and peak period of pagers was around 1992 and 1993. Around 1996 and 1997, the price of pagers dropped below 100 yuan, and by 1998 it was basically only worth 30 to 20 yuan.
At that time, some paging stations wanted to attract customers and offered to give you a free machine as long as you paid a one-year service fee.
So Wan Feng said that the pager business can only be done for five or six years, and after five or six years, it can be abandoned without hesitation.
"By the way, have you installed the six computers I asked you to?"
The telecommunications equipment we bought includes two computers, and we need five or six more computers.
Wan Feng reminded Gu Hongzhong before leaving.
"It has been installed a long time ago. The configuration is average, but I wouldn't say it's worth 20,000 yuan if I bought it on the market."
These computer paging stations are used for typing, so there is no need for high-end configurations, just something good enough will do.
Huaguang Factory was preparing to start small-batch production of pagers, but Wan Feng was still not sure what Zhang Xuan's paging station building would look like.
Wan Feng went to Nanda Mountain to take a look.
The new Nanwan factory is almost right next to the corner of Nanwan and Xiwan. Wan Feng can reach Nandashan in just a few steps from the Huaguang Factory.
There is a cement road leading to the top of the mountain. Wan Feng rode a motorcycle up the mountain and arrived at the southeast side of the highest peak of Nanda Mountain after a few minutes.
There is a small platform of about 200 square meters here, right next to the cement road.
Zhang Xuan’s paging station is built here.
Wan Feng parked his motorcycle on the side of the road and walked more than ten steps to the paging station building.
The small building faces east, has a front width of more than ten meters and a length of about twenty meters. It is now basically in the final stage.
It was originally intended to be built in the form of a courtyard, but the width was not enough, so it was built in an asymmetrical style with one end heavier.
The front and north sides are two-story buildings, and there is a high wall on the south side. There is a very small courtyard with an area of no more than 20 square meters.
Wan Feng felt that there was no need for such a small yard. It would be difficult for a car to drive in.
However, he still liked the style of the small building.
Wan Feng has a habit. No matter whether he looks at an object or a person, his first impression is either pleasing to the eye or looking away.
The ones he liked at first sight were almost the same, and the ones he liked at first sight were basically not much better later on.
The small building is basically nearing completion, with the roof being put on and the interior and exterior walls being plastered.
Behind the small building is the highest peak of Nanda Mountain. You can clearly see a silver iron tower standing on the top.
Tan Chun was wearing a safety helmet and a blue work suit, standing in front of the small building with his hands behind his back, giving orders and directing things blindly.
Seeing Wan Feng coming, he came towards him with a smile on his face.
"Tan Chun! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already started to act like an official. This is not a good sign."
Wan Feng is rather averse to people putting on airs. He believes that it is better for people to be down-to-earth so that they appear low-key.
There is no harm in being low-key. Didn’t the ancients say that being cautious is the best way to succeed? That is telling you to be low-key.
"Boss Wan! Are you satisfied with the style of this small building?"
He was in charge of the design and construction of the small building. At that time, Wan Feng had already gone to the capital with Chen Dao and had no idea what kind of monsters Tan Chun had come up with.
Wan Feng nodded: "It's okay, the design is good, it looks pleasing to the eye."
Wan Feng didn't say anything bad, which made Tan Chun feel relieved.
"The design inside the building is like this. The first floor at the front is where the instruments are stored, and the second floor is where the staff work. The building to the north is the cafeteria, dormitory, and office space. The space is limited, so the design can only be like this."
“How many days will it take for it to be delivered?”
"One week! Once the roof is asphalted three times and the exterior and interior walls are plastered, the work can be completed."
After the building is completed, the installation of various equipment will have to be carried out, which will probably take about a week. After the equipment is installed, it still needs to be debugged and adapted.
The paging station can't start work until June at the latest.
Wan Feng and Tan Chun walked around the site of the small building, mainly to look at the water conservancy measures around the building.
If the water drainage problem is not solved properly, the building will be washed away by the water coming down from the mountain during the rainy season.
His second wife is in the building.
"General Wan..."
"Don't call me Mr. Wan all the time. It makes me uncomfortable. Just call me by my name."
"Then I'll obey your command, Wan Feng! A building was washed away by water, and you're the only one who can say that's okay. If it were someone else, I'd definitely chop him up. This is a disrespect to my craft."
"If you want to shave, you have to do what I did. No matter who shaves first, that's all."
Tan Chun shook his head: "You can't do it, you can't afford it! I didn't even give you a shaving when we were in school, and now it's even worse than a ponytail piercing tofu - don't even mention it."
The two of them burst into laughter.
"How are the nursing home and welfare factory going?" That was pretty much it here in the small building, and there was nothing more to think about, so Wan Feng shifted the topic to the nursing home and welfare factory.
"The nursing home and this small building are about the same progress, and they're guaranteed to be ready for use in June. The welfare factory is just starting to be built, and it's about as advanced as Xiaoping's. Once this small building and the nursing home are finished, the welfare factory's progress will be greatly accelerated."
"Haha, not very soon, because I have another project to start soon."
"Huh? What project?"
"Let's talk about it later. I just need to go to the nursing home to take a look."
Wan Feng's motorcycle was left on the cement road not far from the small building, while Tan Chun came on a bicycle.
Wan Feng rode his motorcycle down the mountain and arrived at the bay mouth first.
A few minutes later, Tan Chun also arrived here on his bicycle.
