Chapter 159 Send a certificate by the way
”Mr. Kang, how much do you plan to sell this mobile phone camera for?”
After digesting Kang Chi’s three requirements, He Yongbin raised a question that others were also concerned about.
Many times, the price not only determines the market competitiveness of a product, but also determines its R&D difficulty.
”Before Dahan Xinye officially goes into production, the cost is actually difficult to estimate, so you only focus on R&D and don’t worry about the price and cost issues.”
”In addition, report the R&D progress and drawings to me once a month, and I will make corresponding suggestions and optimizations.”
”Dismiss!”
After throwing this sentence, Kang Chi ended the meeting directly, then got on the off-road vehicle driven by Chen Hai, and drove directly back to Dongyang for several hours, officially starting his “annual vacation”.
In fact, Kang Chi is also a person who can’t sit still. He said he was taking a vacation, but in fact, except for taking a walk occasionally, he kept himself at home most of the time, using a learning machine to learn various knowledge. When he was itching to do something, he went to his laboratory to tinker with something and simply verify the principles of the knowledge he learned.
When Kang Chi went out for a walk that day, he suddenly remembered the idea of expanding the laboratory that he had come up with when he upgraded the lens production line last time, so he called Chen Hai over and asked for his opinion.
After all, what Kang Chi was going to build was not an ordinary basement, but a large underground laboratory, which could even serve as an emergency shelter in special circumstances. It was still necessary to consult this comrade Hua An.
“We can say hello to Dongyang, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
After hearing this, Chen Hai agreed without hesitation, and then asked: “But how big is your large laboratory?”
Kang Chi thought for a moment, It’s already difficult to upgrade the lens production line here. If you want to upgrade the oil extractor in the future, the space required will definitely be larger, and who knows when, you will make something bigger…
In order to leave more room for future upgrades, Kang Chi tentatively said: “Maybe… can you build a large aircraft?”
”…”
Chen Hai was stunned.
After a while, he slowly said: “Then you are going to hollow out the whole mountain…”
”I have to ask the leader about this. By the way, didn’t you say before that you would not engage in the research and development of military technology?”
”But I also said that civilian technology and military technology are interlinked, and why when you hear about airplanes, you only think of military airplanes… Can’t it be passenger airplanes, space shuttles, etc?”
Chen Hai smiled and did not refute Kang Chi.
Kang Chi received a reply from Chen Hai that day, and the higher-ups agreed to Kang Chi’s laboratory expansion plan. If Kang Chi wanted, they could even let the military engineering team take over the construction project of this laboratory.
By the way, he also handed over five certificates.
Weapons and equipment scientific research and production license, Equipment contracting unit qualification list certification,
…
Looking at the five military certificates in front of him, Kang Chi was also stunned.
“The leader said that the military is going to purchase scopes from you, right? Once the military is the purchaser of this thing, it will become a weapon, so the necessary certificates must be obtained.”
”Really?” Kang Chi, who had reacted, laughed. ”If you hadn’t said it, I almost forgot that you are actually part of the military… It seems that Director Cai still hasn’t given up.”
Chen Hai just laughed and didn’t refute Kang Chi. Since the other party had given it, Kang Chi took the certificate. On the contrary, the decision of whether to use this thing was in his hands. It was better to have it than not.
As for handing the project over to the military, Kang Chi had no objection.
After all, the efficiency and quality of the military were still very trustworthy. Besides, Kang Chi was not a freeloader, so he would pay the money he should pay, and he didn’t have to bear too much of a favor for it.
So the next day, a military engineer came to Kang Chi’s house in person, asked him about his specific requirements for the laboratory, and gave a general plan on the spot.
“Actually, I briefly learned about the situation with Chen Hai before coming here. He told me that he had transported a large piece of goods from here last time, but because the mountain road was too winding, many trees were cut down when going down the mountain. At the same time, considering the large aircraft Chen Hai mentioned…
So my suggestion is, don’t go from here.Dig down, otherwise it will be a big problem to transport the things you make here. We can dig a tunnel directly from the bottom of the mountain and build the laboratory right under this house. Then we can build an elevator and an emergency passage to get up. ”
”But if we do this, the construction cost will definitely be much higher.”
Kang Chi nodded without hesitation: “Money is not a problem, just go ahead and do it.” —— As the production department of Magic City Camera gradually got on track, Fang Qiming finally had time to return to Dongyang and deal with the relevant affairs of Dongyang Lens Department.
By the way, he also gave Kang Chi a situation report.
In a few days, the first batch of Wu’an cameras can be shipped.
So far, Daqin Optics has received a total of 70,000 pre-sale orders for bodies and 230,000 lenses, with a total order amount of over 800 million! And this is based on the extremely long pre-sale period, which led to many impulsive consumers canceling their orders in advance.
In fact, in addition to impulsive consumption, the camera lenses of the three giants are in the second-hand market, the prices have collapsed, and the three giants have appropriately reduced their prices. Price and technology upgrades are also a big reason.
Suddenly, so many people have joined the Daqin Optics camp. The collapse of the second-hand market price is actually foreseeable. The second-hand A7M3 that originally sold for 7,000 or 8,000 yuan is now sold for 5,000 or 6,000 yuan.
But if it cannot be sold at this price and has to be reduced, the seller will consider whether it is necessary to bear such a big loss and switch to Daqin Optics.
At the beginning, everyone can still comfort themselves:
”Since Daqin Optics has opened this hole, don’t expect the notebook goods to maintain their value in the future. It will only get cheaper and cheaper in the future. It is absolutely impossible to go back to the previous price, so the sooner you sell, the easier it will be. ”
But as the three giants all upgraded their firmware at the same time, the performance of the original body was further enhanced, and many people hesitated.
Although no one in the market has actually received the camera of Daqin Optics, from the perspective of paper strength, Wuan is indeed completely behind A7M3.
Even the A7M2 after the firmware upgrade can surpass Wuan in terms of data.
”I feel that my A7M2 can still fight for another two years. When it is scrapped, I will look at the situation of Daqin Optics and decide whether to turn the door…”
At the same time, as the second-hand prices of the camera lenses of the three giants plunged, it also gave many new players an additional choice, that is, to buy and The price of Daqin Optics is similar to that of Xiaobenzi.
There are actually quite a few people like this. After all, there is no evaluation video about Wuan, but Xiaobenzi’s products have been tested by the market.
So if Daqin Optics did not have the huge advantage of cheap lens group, the number of people who canceled their orders would definitely be even higher.
However, among the more than 70,000 pre-sale orders of Daqin Optics, the proportion of new micro-single players is actually the largest. The old masters who really invested a lot of money and turned to the door at most just over 20,000.
This is just as Kang Chi had expected before. The new players who got the opportunity to enter the market after the price was lowered are the basic market of Daqin.
