Chapter 402 Advanced Thought
The stars move and the lights fade.
The night gradually deepened.
Two young men and women with important responsibilities took a break from their busy schedule.
They started by chatting about random things, then talked about food and daily life, and then talked about a series of major events that had happened recently.
Wen Wan also heard some news.
I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity about the sensational incident involving Zheng Yiping.
"I heard that Zheng Yiping went abroad?"
The smile on Ji Lengming's face faded instantly.
Rich people who have accumulated a certain amount of wealth generally need asset allocation.
Apart from a few properties that could not be immediately converted into cash, Zheng Yiping took away all the stocks, bonds, gold, collectibles... in short, everything that could be converted into cash.
There is a financial hole of billions, and it is definitely not enough to pay off the debt just by auctioning the properties under his name.
Moreover, if we trace the root cause of the electronics factory explosion, Zheng Yiping should also be held responsible.
Once the bastard runs away, it becomes very difficult for all debt collectors to collect the debt.
In the final analysis, it is the common people who bear all the consequences.
Ji Lengming: "Well, what I learned is that... he registered an offshore shell company in the XX Islands, but time was tight and he was unable to go that route. Later, he transferred most of it through underground banks."
"Now it depends on whether the economic crime investigation department and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange are willing to recover the stolen money!"
Wen Wan knew that group of people too well.
It's just a few billion, and it's not a big deal or a threat to the foundation. There's no need to make efforts that will get you no thanks.
"Don't even think about them working now. There's still no shortage of money in the market."
"When Curry runs out of money, he will probably find a reason to take some action."
Ji Lengming lowered his eyes, remained quiet and said nothing.
Wenwan continued.
"What's next? What are you going to do?"
“The electronics factory has become a ruin.”
“Pollution control, safety review, process approval, construction… Add it all together and it will take at least two to three years for the factory to be rebuilt.”
"How are we going to accommodate hundreds of workers?"
"Let them go back to their own homes and find their own mothers?"
Ji Lengming already had a plan for this.
"I plan to acquire an OEM factory directly."
Wen Wan was a little surprised.
She has a little knowledge of industrial terms.
The so-called OEM refers to the OEM model.
That is, the model of 'not responsible for design, only responsible for production'.
However, this model mainly relies on OEM production to make profits.
Very dependent on upstream development.
Wen Wan is a person with a strategic vision.
She expressed her doubts naturally.
"Isn't your red light electronics an OEM model?"
"We rely on OEM for some unknown and unlicensed 3C electronic products."
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if those unknown and unbranded 3C electronic products were eliminated on a large scale one day?"
"How is your factory going to survive?"
"It must be transformed into an ODM model, right?"
OEM is a model of 'not responsible for design, only responsible for production'.
ODM is a model of "both design and production".
The latter is one level higher than the former.
If the ODM model develops further, it will become OBM.
It integrates product design, production and marketing, which is the so-called "self-created brand".
Let’s use a cake as an analogy.
OEM: You have a cake shop.
A customer comes to you with a cake pattern of his own design.
You made the cake according to other people's recipes.
Then, the customer puts his or her own LOGO on the cake and sells it.
ODM: You own a cake shop.
You have designed many cake variations on your own, some of which have become popular.
The customer asks you to make a cake using the pattern you designed.
After the cake is made, the customer puts his or her own LOGO on the cake and sells it.
OBM: You have a cake shop, you design cakes, you make cakes, you put your own logo on them and sell them.
of course.
Simply using the "cake" analogy is definitely not rigorous enough.
Just take it as a common understanding.
Ji Lengming has already considered whether to adopt the 'OEM' or 'ODM' model.
At the same time, he also agreed with the ideas proposed by Wen Wan.
"Yeah. You're right."
"The company really needs to develop towards the ODM model in the future."
“However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.”
“First, we need to have an independent industrial design team, cooperate with large manufacturers to accumulate experience, conduct a large number of user surveys, and incubate and promote multiple standardized design solutions.”
"It will take at least three years to achieve the above results."
"Hongdeng Electronics was established not long ago, and all of its OEM products are 3C electronic products of unknown brands. We don't have enough talent pool, and everyone has limited experience."
"Therefore, it is not realistic to quickly transform into an ODM company."
Wen Wan agreed with Ji Lengming's statement.
She thought about it.
Q: "What about companies that directly acquire ODM models?"
Ji Lengming denied it.
"No, if the acquisition comes, what's the use if we can't digest the technology?"
“I prefer to play it safe.”
"First, we will focus on the OEM field and vigorously develop the production model of 'flexible manufacturing'."
“At the same time, I will acquire IDH (independent design company).”
"The goal is to complete the transformation to the ODM model."
"First acquire OEM factories, then acquire IDH designs, and integrate the two to achieve transformation results."
This passage is translated into plain language:
You acquired a cake shop, but the cake chef does not have the ability to design cakes (acquisition of OEM factory)
In order to design the cake, we hired a designer (acquired IDH)
then.
Your cake shop can not only make cakes, but also design cakes (transform into ODM)
And what is 'flexible manufacturing'?
Let’s take cake as an example.
At first, everyone liked to eat simple cakes with 'cake body covered with cream'.
Therefore, the production line has a fixed process and only produces large quantities of "simple cakes".
But with the development of the times.
Some people started wanting to eat fruit cake, mousse cake, ice cream cake, and mille-feuille cake.
In order to meet diversified demands, production lines must also change.
You can also build a separate production line for the production of fruit cakes.
In order to produce thousand-layer cakes, a special production line is set up.
But in that case, the cost will also increase accordingly.
What if my same production line can seamlessly switch to produce different products such as fruit, mousse, ice cream, etc.?
Will the cost be reduced?
This manufacturing model that can "quickly switch tasks and adapt to diverse needs" is the so-called flexible manufacturing.
Ji Lengming knew that the current era was the era of the rapid rise of Industry 4.0.
Modular design, industrial Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and big data, collaborative robots... are the inevitable trends of future historical development.
It is not dependent on personal willpower.
All he can do is to seize the initiative.
Then gain the right to speak in the industry.
The outcome will be completely different if the industry's discourse power is in the hands of communists or in the hands of feudal capitalists!
Wen Wan carefully considered the development route set by Ji Lengming in her mind.
She did not expect that the other party would choose to focus on "flexible manufacturing".
The essence of "flexibility" is to adapt to the co-production of multiple products.
If it is the same assembly line, it can produce refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners.
That's definitely a good thing.
But the words came back again.
The better something is, the harder it is to achieve.
Wen Wan couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you want to achieve 'flexibility'?"
"If a production line changes from one product to another, it means that the processing procedures, parameters, tool technology... all need to change."
“Who is responsible for completing such a huge design and commissioning project?”
"As far as I know, talent in manufacturing engineering in this area is very scarce."
Ji Lengming answered as a matter of course.
"You don't think that the workers in my factory just go to work and leave work on time every day, do you?"
"They have at least 10 hours of study time every week."
“Workers are the ones who know the workshop best.”
“No one knows the versatility of the fixture, the gripping and transmission of the robot, the parameters of the tool, the processing cycle and reliability better than them.”
"The workers just lack professional and systematic knowledge, not their IQ."
"If we can truly develop the power of people, many difficulties will be easily solved!"
The reason why Wen Wan asked such a question was that she ignored the value of her employees.
Ji Lengming, on the contrary, attaches great importance to the power of the group.
Moreover.
Although his red light electronics were blown up, it already had the prototype of "flexibility" before the explosion.
Although his factory is an OEM for an unknown electronic brand.
It is precisely such an inconspicuous factory that has long been at the forefront of the times and the industry.
Ji Lengming saw that Wen Wan stopped talking.
I couldn't help but nag a few words.
"Wen Wan, you have to remember this."
“The advancement of a company does not mean that it has mastered advanced technology or introduced advanced management.”
"It's about arming advanced thinking."
“Why should we put people first?”
“Because only ‘people-oriented’ is the key.”
“Only then will ordinary people be willing to work sincerely and wholeheartedly.”
“It will unleash their enthusiasm.”
"Only in this way can we mobilize their strength to the greatest extent possible."
“People-oriented is the most advanced idea in the world.”
"And it will never be surpassed in this modern era, or even for a long, long time to come!"
