Chapter 91 The move is simply wonderful!
Su Province, Dongyang City, Daqin Optics.
The sun was blazing, and Kang Chi, who had just gotten off the car, immediately felt a wave of heat coming towards him.
Today is the last day of June. Starting tomorrow, most students will embrace the beautiful summer vacation period, which also means that this year has passed by nearly half unknowingly.
The last time I came to Daqin Optics was at the end of January before the monthly summary meeting. At that time, it was still cold and snowy, but now it is scorching hot.
Since the New Year, Kang Chi has been driven by various complex situations, like a wound-up top, spinning rapidly, and can no longer spare time to attend the monthly summary meeting of Daqin Optics.
Kang Chi is still quite ashamed of this.
Fortunately, since Kang Chi showed his ambitions to Fang Qiming and others at the last meeting, they have given full understanding and support to Kang Chi, especially after Dahan Silicon Industry continued to receive good news, they could not raise a single complaint.
And Dahan Silicon Industry’s actions of tens of billions of dollars have almost made Fang Qiming numb. However, this has also eliminated some of their anxiety and uneasiness, because Dahan’s success has made Kang Chi fully capable of complying with his original promise to Daqin Optics not to lay off employees or reduce salaries.
It’s just that Dahan is thriving, while we are struggling, and we may even need Dahan to give Daqin a blood transfusion in the future…
This is a bit embarrassing.
“Look, Mr. Kang is here!”
The management of Daqin Optics had received advance notice that Kang Chi would attend this month’s monthly summary meeting, so they kept looking out the window in the office. When they saw Kang Chi’s car driving into the park, they immediately got the news and went downstairs to greet him.
“Boss Kang, thank you for your hard work on the road.”
”Brother Kang, you are so amazing. It only took half a year to develop Dahan Silicon Industry into a leading silicon wafer company!”
”Boss Kang, it’s hot outside. Come in and cool down.”
”…”
Looking at the enthusiastic Daqin managers, Kang Chi couldn’t help but laugh and said: “Okay, okay, you don’t have to be so excited. I know I have neglected you all during this period. I will definitely treat you all to a big meal later.”
”No need for a big meal. As long as Boss Kang can stay in Dongyang for a few more days, we will be satisfied!”
Kang Chi: “…”
Looking at their expressions,
Why do I feel like a concubine who has been banished to the cold palace is suddenly favored…
”Ahem, don’t worry, I may stay in Dongyang most of the time next time.”
Fang Qiming was immediately overjoyed and said: “That’s good, that’s good!”
After a simple greeting, Kang Chi first came to the production workshop to take a look at the production situation.
There is not much difference here from a few months ago. The employees are in good spirits and are a little excited when they see the big boss coming.
Just a few months ago, who would have thought that their boss, who was always elusive, would suddenly become the hope of the people and save the world…
It’s very dreamy.
In fact, the main purpose of Kang Chi’s inspection of the workshop was to see how the equipment of the lens production line was.
The result was as he expected. After more than half a year of high-intensity production day and night, their experience has completely overflowed!
[Item: Lens cutting, grinding, and polishing machine]
[Manufacturer: Kang Chi]
[Item level: 1]
[Experience: 1469/1000]
[Item status: intact] [Analysis items: no analysis items]
[General experience: 308]
[Mastery points: 46.2]
Although Kang Chi really wanted to see what the upgraded production line would look like, it was obviously a suicidal act to create something in the void under such circumstances.
He had to quickly fix his private residence + laboratory, and then find an excuse to improve the production equipment and transport the equipment over for upgrading.
In fact, the manufacturing technology of silicon wafers and lenses overlap in many places. With Kang Chi’s current mastery of smelting, cutting, polishing and other technologies, he should be able to transform and upgrade it by himself, so that the quality of the lenses it manufactures can reach the smoothness of silicon wafers, greatly improving the image quality of the lenses.
However, this is too much effort. It is not as easy and convenient as upgrading directly…After visiting the production line, the group quickly came to the conference room. After the lady from the administrative department served tea to everyone, the summary meeting officially began.
Since Kang Chi had not been here for five months, this summary became a mid-year summary meeting, which was still chaired by Fang Qiming.
“In the past five months, Daqin Optics has sold a total of 74,000 lenses, with a total turnover of 28.93 million and a net profit of 9.89 million, and the net profit margin has decreased.”
”This is mainly because we have increased our investment in the research and development of new lenses and launched a number of zoom lenses… but the effect is not ideal, and it is a bit difficult to stop the decline in sales, especially for the 50/35/85 fixed-focus lenses, the market has basically become saturated…”
”In addition, the after-sales service burden of free replacement and original price replacement is also getting heavier. We can fill it by releasing new products and raising the price of new products before, which may not be obvious, but as our products are becoming more and more saturated in the market and the speed of new product release is getting slower and slower, we think this after-sales rule may need to be adjusted appropriately…”
After listening, Kang Chi also nodded and began to fall into deep thought.
These two after-sales policies were originally used by Kang Chi to recycle general experience, and later it was confirmed that the effect was indeed good.
Now, the after-sales warehouse of Daqin Optics is estimated to be full of various lenses waiting for him to absorb experience, and general experience will soon become no longer in short supply.
What really restricts Kang Chi’s development now is not the upgrade experience or the mastery point, but the various objective facts in the process of bringing technology to reality.
For example, Dahan Silicon Industry, even if the technology is not a problem and the funds are in place, the construction time of the factory is so long that he can’t rush it.
In short, as Daqin Optics sells more and more lenses, these two policies have indeed become a big hidden danger. In addition, Kang Chi’s demand for exchanging money for experience has decreased, and it is time to find an opportunity to cancel them.
“That’s it… After a while, I will make a small upgrade to the lens product line. Although the upgraded production line can only produce manual lenses, the image quality will be greatly improved.”
Hearing Kang Chi’s words, the people present immediately showed a look of joy.
Finally, Kang Chi is willing to take care of them, Daqin Optics!
Kang Chi did not give them time to discuss, and then said: “You can take this opportunity to upgrade and notify users in advance. This will be the penultimate opportunity for free replacement and exchange. As for the last free replacement and exchange… it will be when we only sell our own camera mount lenses.”
Fuck!
Hearing Kang Chi’s words, everyone’s eyes widened immediately.
It turns out…
Mr. Kang started playing this game a long time ago! The ultimate goal of these two after-sales policies is to force all previous lens users to the Daqin camp when launching their own camera brand!
Imagine that when Daqin releases a camera and an autofocus lens at the same time, those users holding Nikon, Kanon, and Kanon mount lenses from Daqin Optics are holding a stack of coupons that are about to expire. Once the quality of the product is good, how many people can resist trying it? “Brother Kang is awesome! Your trick is simply amazing!” Fang Qiming exclaimed sincerely, “I can’t wait to see the moment when Daqin Optics releases the camera!”
Kang Chi: “???”
Why do I feel like they are overthinking? “Ahem, don’t get too excited too early.” Kang Chi coughed quickly, “I have only opened up the silicon wafer now, and the next step is the lithography machine, which will probably take some time…”
In order not to dampen their enthusiasm, Kang Chi added:
”But for Daqin Optics, I will also find a way to make arrangements in advance and prepare for the technical breakthroughs of COMS and image processing in advance.”
Fang Qiming nodded: “It’s okay, we have confidence in Brother Kang!”
