Chapter 396: Research and development of unbounded TV, cool operation(1/3)
BYD's TV factory's annual production capacity is also calculated based on 12 hours a day.
It can only be said that some manufacturers still have a conscience these days. Most of them operate 12 hours a day and stop work at night.
But since Foxconn started 24 hours, the entire industry has had to follow the 24-hour system.
There is no way. The same order takes 4 months to be delivered under the 12-hour system of ordinary factories, but it can be completed in 2 months under Foxconn's 24-hour system. How do customers choose?
Definitely choose Foxconn, after all, time is money and time is profit!
As a result, orders and customers will be taken away by Foxconn, and other foundries will starve to death. If they don't want to starve to death, they can only follow the 24-hour system!
It is precisely because of this that Foxconn forced electronics factories and foundries in previous lives to adopt a 24-hour working system.
Moreover, production is not stopped 24 hours a day, and one factory can be used as two factories to maximize corporate benefits.
For example, the BYD TV factory has a monthly production capacity of 10 million units under a 12-hour system. If it continues production 24 hours a day, it can produce 20 million units per month, which is fully doubled and equivalent to two 12-hour factories!
In fact, it is normal to operate 24 hours a day, but what is abnormal is working in two shifts!
If we work three shifts 24 hours a day, employees will work eight hours a day and rest for 16 hours. This will be less stressful and relaxing. If the night shift wages are subsidized, the workers will not have much objection.
But unfortunately, most companies have no conscience. In order to save money, they work in two shifts 24 hours a day!
Working 12 hours a day and taking 12 hours off, the employees are treated like nothing more than cattle and horses.
Standing and sitting for more than ten hours every day, no one can bear it for a long time.
It is precisely because of this that there is an endless stream of employees who are depressed and jump off the building.
If we work three shifts, with 8 days off and 16 days off, and the wages are adequate, employees will not be depressed at all, let alone jump off the building!
But capital is ruthless. In order to save money, we have to work two shifts even if we are exhausted.
After all, three shifts requires half as many employees!
For half as many employees, half of the social security benefits will be paid, and half of the full attendance and basic salary will be paid!
But working two shifts is different. It directly saves half of the employees, half of the social security benefits, half of the full attendance, basic salary, and at most more overtime pay.
Save a lot of money!
However, even so, many people say that Foxconn is a more conscientious company.
All I can say is that this is a bad era.
Similarly, Xingyi TV factory also faces production capacity issues, as well as cost and efficiency issues.
If the Xingyi TV factory and the BYD factory continue to produce 12 hours a day, the annual production capacity will only be 20 million units, which is simply not enough.
If production is operated in three shifts 24 hours a day, the annual production capacity will reach a terrifying 40 million units!
Fully doubled.
In this way, it will not only alleviate the domestic production capacity crisis, but also create more production capacity and export it overseas!
Currently, the annual domestic production of LCD TVs exceeds 90 million units, of which 60 million units are sold domestically and more than 30 million units are exported overseas.
And Xingyi TV is so powerful, coupled with the brand influence of Xingyi Technology, if it were launched globally, overseas sales would be even more terrifying than domestic sales.
According to Wang Yi's budget, if the Xingyi X40 and Xingyi X50 are combined, it will not be a problem for domestic annual sales to exceed 30 million units, and there is hope for overseas sales to exceed 30 million units.
Therefore, the two major factories operate 24 hours a day and can produce 40 million yuan per year.
In addition, the second phase of the Daocheng factory will be put into operation half a year later, with an annual output of 30 million units in 24 hours, and the total production capacity will reach 70 million, which can meet global demand.
Therefore, Xingyi TV Factory has no choice but to implement a 24-hour system, otherwise it will not be able to meet the needs of the global market.
It is also impossible for Wang Yi to invest in the construction of three TV factories again.
But Wang Yi is much more conscientious than Foxconn. Even if production is not stopped 24 hours a day, it will still work in three shifts!
Even if we spend half more on social security and benefits, basic salary, and full attendance, we still have to allow employees to take 8 days off and 16 days off!
In his previous life, Wang Yi worked as a cow and horse, but now that he is capable, he naturally has to treat his employees well.
There is one bus from 6 am to 2 pm, one bus from 2 pm to 10 pm, and one bus from 10 pm to 6 o'clock the next day.
Three shifts, only working eight hours a day.
This kind of system allows employees to have enough rest time and free time without too much work burden.
Wang Yi made up his mind that from now on, three shifts and an eight-hour working system will be the standard for Xingyi TV Factory.
The same is true for Xingyi Mobile Phone Factory.
Wang Yi and BYD then completed the signing.
At this point, the entire BYD TV factory has completely become the third largest Xingyi TV factory.
As for the second largest factory, it is naturally the second phase of Xingyi Industrial Park.
BYD, on the other hand, successfully received 1 billion in funds and made a one-time return.
"Thank you, Director Wang. BYD's TV business was a strategic mistake. If you hadn't acquired the TV factory, we don't know how many years it would have taken us to get back our money. I will keep this kindness in mind," Shopkeeper Wang said solemnly.
Business people are most afraid of strategic mistakes. A strategic mistake may lead to catastrophic consequences.
For example, Hisense in the previous life regarded laser TV as its core strategy, which resulted in a miserable market value.
Otherwise, as the country's No. 1 TV leader, Hisense's market value in the previous life had already exceeded 100 billion, so why is it only 30 to 40 billion?
After all, Hisense’s revenue reaches hundreds of billions!
On the contrary, TCL has made correct strategic decisions all the way. It is currently ranked fourth in the country, but ten years later it has become a solid second!
Wang Yi looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said earnestly: "The current official reduction of subsidies for new energy has made BYD worse. I know this. But if the clouds clear, the moon will shine. As long as BYD sticks to its true intentions, it will one day become a new energy company.
A super giant of energy vehicles. Rather than treating cases indiscriminately and developing indiscriminately."
"The reason why I am optimistic about BYD is because I am optimistic about BYD's new energy vehicles and power batteries. It is not the OEM. After all, no matter how good BYD's OEM is, it is still not as good as one-tenth of Foxconn."
Wang Yi said these words sincerely.
Last year, Wang Yi made it clear that he opposed BYD's diversification strategy.
But at that time, shopkeeper Wang didn't listen. He only thought that Xingyi Technology could do it, and BYD could do it.
I just feel that if Xingyi Technology can make mobile phones, they and BYD can also make it. If Xingyi Technology can make TVs, they and BYD can also make it...
Until this year, both the mobile phone business and the TV business were cut in half. They were declared over before they even started, and all the huge investment was wasted.
Coupled with the decline in automobile sales and the reduction of subsidies, BYD's core automobile business revenue and profits collapsed across the board, and its stock price almost halved.
Only then did Shopkeeper Wang begin to recognize the reality, and began to feel that Wang Yi's opposition to BYD's diversification was for BYD's sake, not because he was worried that BYD would become a rival of Xingyi Technology.
"Thank you, Director Wang, for your guidance. I have learned a lesson." Shopkeeper Wang said modestly.
Wang Yi waved his hand and sighed: "The future is an era of refinement, and this is true for any industry. Only by being at the top can we survive and live a prosperous life. The era of extensive development is over long ago and has no future.
"
That being said, Wang Yi doesn't care about BYD's choice.
If you listen to it, fortunately, BYD still has a bright future.
If it still wants to diversify its development, BYD's future will be full of twists and turns.
Later, Wang Yi and Shopkeeper Wang came to the R&D headquarters together.
"Director Wang, this is Du Qingming, the R&D manager I hired from Changhong. He has rich experience. Now, together with the entire R&D team, we will deliver it to you."
"Okay." Wang Yi nodded.
Du Qingping quickly reached out his hand: "Thank you, Director Wang, for giving me the opportunity. I will definitely make a better TV show to repay Director Wang!"
Wang Yi smiled and said nothing.
"Director Wang, please go ahead and I won't disturb you. I have ordered a banquet for tonight, and you will definitely appreciate it." Shopkeeper Wang said knowingly.
Wang Yigang has just taken over the new factory and R&D team. He must have a lot of things to arrange. He also has to have dinner with the R&D department and factory senior management at noon. He is an outsider and cannot be disturbed.
"Okay, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight." Wang Yi said with a smile.
After seeing Shopkeeper Wang off, Wang Yi looked at the room full of people.
There are R&D personnel and factory managers.
At this time, the factory director Fan Chengxin was the first to speak: "Dr. Wang, I am the factory director Fan Chengxin. The employees are now ready and can start work at any time."
Wang Yi nodded: "Very good, the factory will be renamed Xingyi TV Shenzhen Industrial Park. You arrange for people to connect with the team from Xingyi TV headquarters, and arrange the production of Xingyi TV X40 and X50 as soon as possible. At the same time, continue to recruit people.
, recruiting a large number of people. From now on, the Shenzhen Industrial Park will work in three shifts 24 hours a day, with people working without stopping, and an eight-hour working system every day."
When Wang Yi came to sign the contract this time, he also brought a team from Xingyi TV headquarters to be responsible for the follow-up work.
Throughout the Shenzhen Industrial Park, the factory director is still Fan Chengxin, but other high-level positions such as finance will be replaced by his own people.
In the newly acquired factory, Wang Yi naturally had to put in enough confidants to firmly control everything.
"Okay, Chairman, I'll make arrangements right now!"
Fan Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief. It was the greatest gift that Wang Yi didn't replace him.
Naturally, he didn't dare to have second thoughts. He knew Wang Yi's style. If he went all out and achieved results, then the position of the factory director would be secure.
