Chapter 326

During this period, Xiao Qi continued to purchase several other important but relatively small components of the tablet.

The first is the horn.

A good electronic equipment, horn is a tiny but absolutely important component.

All kinds of materials and processes of speakers are very particular. If they are used casually, they are likely to damage a good product.

Just think, if you play tablet games very hard, but the sound made by the speaker is the same as broken gongs and drums, are you still interested in playing games?

Fortunately, China has become a world factory in recent years. Many large audio equipment companies have OEM speaker products in China. Therefore, many factories have mastered excellent technology and it is not difficult to make micro excellent speaker parts.

Originally, Xiao Qi wanted to find a local enterprise in Shuchuan, but most of the manufacturing industries in China are in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and eastern Guangdong. Shuchuan is not proficient in speakers at all. Therefore, under the introduction of CAI Guozhi, he found a Chinese private enterprise named Fuda technology in Suzhou Industrial Park.

Although fidelity technology is not famous, it used to contract mobile phone speakers for Nokia and Motorola for about 12 years. Their speakers account for 15% of the speaker parts of the two major mobile phone manufacturers. It can be seen that their strength is still very strong.

Fidelity technology also attached great importance to the orders given by fairy company. It had called several times to communicate before. When Xiao Qi had free time, their general manager rushed over directly and determined the cooperation matters with Xiao Qi yard by yard.

The annual order quantity of each ten yuan loudspeaker is 50 million. They signed the contract for five years at one go, which made the general manager of Fidelity Technology and his party laugh.

Xiao Qi is really generous. When talking about the price, he didn't force them as hard as foreigners, so that their gross profit margin could reach about 20%.

The most important thing is that he settles his account in RMB. These days, the RMB appreciates every day. If he makes us dollars, he will turn from profit to loss in a few days. It's better to settle his account in local currency.

Xiao Qi has given enough money. Correspondingly, his requirements are not low. It is higher than the medium standard of Nokia, but this technology is very mature in fidelity technology. As long as they do it seriously, they must do better.

The contract is still made by the American law firm, and the constraints are very strict one by one, so that the general manager can't help but be vigilant: the young man seems to be a harsh master. He must do a good job at that time, so as not to lose face at the beginning of cooperation. I'm really sorry for the price given by others.

Apart from the speaker, another slightly simpler thing is the metal shell of the tablet.

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

In fact, the technical content of aluminum alloy shell is not high. As long as the high-precision grade B, it can meet the use standard.

However, Xiao Qi felt that the previous iPad shell was too monotonous. In addition to silver white, it could also be made into seven colors of green, orange, yellow, green, red, blue and purple in the chromatogram, which seemed more colorful.

Anyway, the iPad hasn't come out yet. The teenager is the "father of tablet computers". He can do whatever he wants, and others can't criticize him.

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 the final series of grinding, mold making, finished products, coloring and other processes, he just returned to Chengdu. After checking various samples according to his memory, he selected a total of three manufacturers with outstanding strength as the supplier of iPad aluminum alloy shell.

Xiao Qi knows the root causes of the inferiority of these domestic factories. When making orders for foreign companies, he can basically make high-quality products that meet foreign requirements without being urged; However, if domestic companies provide products, that is, if they can procrastinate, if they can reduce the quality, they will reduce the quality... It seems very polarized.

Therefore, when signing the contract, young people put forward strict requirements for product quality. If the unqualified rate reaches 5 / 10000, the manufacturer will pay the most severe economic compensation.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qi's thoughts were in vain. The attitude of the three big factories that won the bid was servile. Obviously, they already knew the origin of Xiao Qi and who was supporting Xiao Qi. With Yu Chengsheng, how could they move those boring and careful thoughts?

As the saying goes, what I fear most is that domestic officials do things seriously, and this sentence can also be used in state-owned enterprises. Usually, if they really do things with their heart, they can be called the first in China with their strong technical reserves and personnel, regardless of production quality or speed.

Xiao Qi, the king of machine dismantling, can feel the quality of aluminum alloy shell with his eyes closed.

Although I don't know which manufacturer produced the aluminum alloy shell of the previous iPad, the quality, feel and color of the dozens of shells in his hand, including the back shell and square metal frame, are no worse than the back cover of the iPad.

Once the whole machine is assembled and various tests and commissioning are completed, at least 50 million aluminum alloy shells can start mass production.

Xiao Qi's control over their profits is far less demanding than that of gang leader Qiao. The purchase price is set at 80 yuan each. Because of the advantages of various costs, they don't have to bear the exchange rate loss and freight. The profits of the three 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.

A big reason why Apple's products are so popular is that their products cover almost all languages. As long as you transfer to the language mode of your own country, you can experience the fun brought by Apple technology in the most familiar way, instead of adapting to other people's culture and usage habits like parallel mobile phones before.

The production of the language system is closely related to the fairy operating system, but even now the fairy operating system is not completely perfect, but it is only some improvements that do not involve the use of functional instructions.

Therefore, Xiao Qi has long asked the hacker consultants in the United States to take out the functional data and language instructions of the system, so as to make an operation mode and language system that can support various languages, which is consistent with the finished product that will be passed in the end.
