Chapter 133 Current Situation of the Chip Industry

According to what the technology department said before departure, the chip production of this smart trash can is as difficult as the chip production of the functional phones used in the past. Domestic manufacturers that can produce it cannot be said to be everywhere, but if you really want to find one, , there are quite a few that can be found.

When Xie Zhengdong and the others set out, Luo Jiu thought that it would only take three to five days to complete this task.

In the initial stage, Blue Sky does not need to start making chips immediately, but first looks for a factory that can make chips in small batches, that is, sample production.

Originally, Luo Jiu thought it would be an easy task, but the reality caught everyone by surprise.

Nowadays, domestic chips used to make smartphones are in an industry-wide shortage. Everyone at Blue Sky Intelligence knows this, and Luo Jiu has a deep understanding of this matter.

But when looking for a processing factory to make simple chips, the technicians in the technical department did not go as smoothly as expected.Many chip manufacturing factories don't even do door-to-door business.

At this time, Blue Sky Intelligence and its team realized that the current domestic chip industry was not only in a tight supply situation for high-end chips for manufacturing smartphones, but also many chips for various home appliance industries were out of stock.

It is as if the domestic chip industry has suddenly entered a cold winter, and everyone has entered a dormant state. It is not a strange thing that Blue Sky Smart's chips cannot find a manufacturer all of a sudden.

But fortunately, the final result is satisfactory.

After many inquiries and personal visits, Xie Zhengdong and his party finally found a chip production factory that was willing to take orders after traveling to many cities in China for more than ten days.

Today when everyone was drinking, there was no respect and respect, everyone drank very casually. During the meal, Xie Zhengdong also briefly told Luo Jiu what he hadn't said on the phone.

Finally, I talked about Futai Microelectronics who cooperated this time.

"Futai Microelectronics is a Sino-foreign joint venture located in Nantong. Although it is not well-known in the industry, it still has no problem producing our smart trash can chips, and the factory has 5000 to [-] employees. Even if we expand in the future Production capacity can also ensure the supply of chips."

After briefly introducing some of the situation in Futai Micro's factory, Xie Zhengdong finally said: "Futai Microelectronics also made a preliminary quotation for our chips, and the final production cost is about 200 yuan per chip."

After thanking everyone again for their hard work for more than a week, Luo Jiu explained to Xie Zhengdong: "Now the preliminary quotation for the chip has come out. During this time, you can tell them to make a preliminary quotation and look at the last smart trash can. How much will it cost? Let me make a preliminary pricing plan.

The next step is to work with Futai Micro, you don’t need to go, do you? "

"If there are no special circumstances in the future, I don't need to go there. I plan to ask Li Zhi to take a few people there until the chip is produced." Xie Zhengdong said to Luo Jiu.

Obviously when he came back, Xie Zhengdong had already made arrangements for the work to be done next.Seeing that Xie Zhengdong had already arranged the next work, Luo Jiu didn't say much. After asking everyone if they wanted to continue to be happy, and got a memorable answer, Luo Jiu drove the group back to Lantian Smart.

For the time being, all these people, including Xie Zhengdong, lived in the newly renovated dormitories in the factory, but some people in the factory chose to rent houses outside by themselves.

For those who rent out their own houses, the factory also provides subsidies, with a monthly subsidy of 400 yuan.

In a small county like Meixian, although housing prices have risen sharply in the past few years, the rent has not risen much. You can rent a simple decorated two-bedroom house for only 500 yuan.

If two people rent a house together, they can get an extra 300 yuan in subsidies.After the factory provided such benefits, the number of people going out to rent houses suddenly increased.

However, none of the backbones of the technical department went out to rent a house, and all of them lived in the dormitory in the factory.

The next day, Luo Jiu sent another 1000 million yuan to Blue Sky Smart's account.During this period of time, the money spent in the factory can really be described as a flow of money. It’s okay to buy all kinds of ready-made accessories. I think the product is still in the process of sample preparation, and the number of accessories purchased is not very large, so no matter how expensive it is. , and it doesn't add up to much money.

But those things that need to be customized are very expensive.

The shell of the smart trash can has been finalized. Finally, the factory placed an order for two sets of shell molds from the mold factory. These two sets of molds alone cost 75 yuan.

In addition, there are four small buckets for separate garbage. Because of the proportion of various garbage in real life, the four small buckets are also divided into three large and one small, and two sets of molds are required.

In the end, it cost about 200 million yuan to customize those molds just for the accessories that Blue Sky Smart can make.

There are also those spare parts that can neither be purchased from ready-made products nor can be produced by ourselves. They need to be customized by manufacturers one by one, which will cost more money.

In many cases, things have not yet started, and a lot of money has been spent.

But now the most important control chip has found a manufacturer, and it can be said that almost all the spare parts of the smart trash can have been finalized, but it is still unknown when the complete product will be seen in the end.

However, some work can still be done first, just like the cost estimation of the product and the pricing of the final product pricing mentioned by Luo Jiu.

Even if there is a little error in the price made now, the correct result can be obtained by adjusting the data in the end.

After discussing things in the factory with Xie Zhengdong, Xie Zhengdong asked Luo Jiu about the arrangements for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival holiday in the factory: "The Dragon Boat Festival will be in a few days. When does the factory plan to have a holiday, and how many days will it give everyone?"

Remembering that the Dragon Boat Festival is Monday, Luo Jiu said to Xie Zhengdong: "We just have a holiday according to the national regulations. If you are really busy, you can arrange for people who are willing to stay and work overtime. Anyway, there are people who work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. , but on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, don't arrange people to work overtime.

At that time, I will ask the personnel from the personnel department to prepare a red envelope and a few rice dumplings for everyone, and everyone will go out and have fun for a day.But pay attention to safety when going out to play, especially those who go to watch dragon boats. "

This year’s Dragon Boat Festival falls on Monday. According to national regulations, plus the two rest days of Saturday and Sunday, there will be a total of 3 days off. However, most of the factories in the industrial park are only closed on the day of Dragon Boat Festival. One day off, Blue Sky Smart is one of the few companies in the industrial park that rests on Saturdays and Sundays.
