This is understandable, because LCD screens of different sizes must have different prices, and the cost of the casing used for smaller ones must be lower.
The price quoted by Zhang Ruimin was not too low. After all, the U.S. dollar was still very valuable at this time.
The main reason now is that this kind of business is unique, and there is no semicolon. Not only are the prices of car navigation systems relatively high, but the prices of personal portable navigation systems are also not cheap. The cheapest one costs 500 US dollars, and the highest price The price reaches $2,000, depending on the screen size of the navigator and whether it has custom positioning mapping capabilities.
Ordinary individual users only need to purchase a personal portable navigator that costs about US$500 to US$700. At this price, there is no custom positioning and mapping function.
The later high-priced ones are mainly used by some engineering unit personnel. They can use the custom positioning mapping function to record project positioning information and have an export function.
This kind of engineering personal portable navigator also requires the Beidou satellite navigation system to provide higher-precision positioning, and this service also requires additional payment.
If you do not purchase additional higher-precision services, you can only use ordinary free services, and this higher-precision services are charged based on the length of time, which will result in a large amount of money being recorded.
Bridge positioning, underground pipeline positioning, etc. all require high-precision positioning services. Simultaneous construction at both ends of a tunnel requires not only high-precision positioning services, but also a personal portable navigator with a relay function.
Because the satellite positioning and navigation system cannot penetrate thick soil layers, relay signals are needed to assist positioning. This is also an expensive aspect of this kind of personal portable navigator.
Zhang Ruimin also gave his standard quotation to these car manufacturers. Of course, bargaining is necessary, but the standard selling price will not change. He can only bargain on their customized navigation products. These things should not be in front of so many manufacturers. Whatever was done in person will be done in private later.
Automobile manufacturers from various countries have obtained the information they want, and the only concern now is production.
Zhang Ruimin said: "I estimate that if you place a large-scale order, it will take 4 to 6 months. This period of time is enough for us to increase the production line and increase the production capacity. Now we just don't know how many products you need to order. I hope it will wait." We will discuss with each manufacturer individually to collect specific data and make production arrangements."
The order quantity of each manufacturer is also considered confidential, because from the order quantity of each manufacturer, we can know their true production volume of cars and their subsequent production plans, so this issue still needs to be discussed separately.
Zhang Ruimin will not participate in the subsequent separate negotiations with each manufacturer. He will let the marketing department personnel negotiate with each company. At that time, he only needs to hand him the relevant statistical reports. After he signs, he can let the production department personnel Arrange specific production tasks.
…
Zhao Yi didn't pay attention to the specific business of these companies. He was only responsible for the big layout. He didn't even pay attention to Shenlong Automobile's press conference and subsequent sales, let alone the specific ordering status of Polaris's navigators.
Anyway, they will submit quarterly reports to themselves every quarter, and they can just take a look at it at that time. If there is a serious deviation from the plan, then he needs to pay attention to it and ask about the specific situation.
After attending the opening ceremony of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System of Future Space Technology Company, I discussed with Major General Liu Junqing about recruiting personnel from the military to form a security company, and hurried back to Kyoto from Guangzhou the next day.
Zhao Yi, who returned to Kyoto, rested for two days and found that staying at home seemed quite boring, so he went to Normal University and Huaqing to visit Zhou Jinyu and Zhou Jinjue. It seemed that they had not seen each other for several months. It was time. Have a party.
Let Zhou Jinyu and Zhou Jinjue go to Prince Gong's Mansion together in three days, and Zhao Yi will give them a taste of the Maowusu beef from the Maowusu Ranch.
To be honest, Zhao Yi himself has never eaten it in the real world, but has only eaten it in Zhouling Space. At that time, he was conducting beef cattle improvement experiments in Zhouling Space.
Although Zhou Ling had already prepared all the relevant experimental steps, Zhao Yi carried out the experiments one by one in Zhou Ling's space. As a result, an improved beef cow came out after raising it. The cow was slaughtered on the spot. Zhao Yi wanted to Try it for yourself how this beef tastes.
Now that so many years have passed, I can no longer remember the original taste of this kind of beef. After discussing the time for the party with Zhou Jinyu and Zhou Jinjue, I returned to Prince Gong’s Mansion and made a call to the agriculture and animal husbandry company and asked them to prepare it within three days. When you bring a piece of beef, it needs to be processed well. Slaughtering the cow yourself is not easy.
Now the breeding cattle of the agricultural and animal husbandry company have reached the predetermined number of stalls, and they will be available for sale in the spring of next year. However, they cannot ship too many at once. The initial supply is not very large, only 500,000 are expected. Cows around.
The meat products of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Company have become very famous in the world, especially among the middle class and above. There are almost no people who have not heard of the name of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Company.
It is true that the mutton of agricultural and animal husbandry companies is so popular all over the world, and there is still no large-scale publicity. This fully illustrates that as long as the product is recognized by consumers, word of mouth is the best advertisement. .
The mutton of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Company has occupied the world's high-end meat market. Even the sales of RB's high-end Wagyu beef have been affected to a certain extent, and the price has also dropped. Fortunately, mutton and beef belong to different meat varieties, and their sales have not yet been affected. Wagyu beef to the point of collapse.
But now the beef from the agricultural and animal husbandry company is about to be put on the market. The output is much larger than that of RB high-end Wagyu beef, and the quality of the beef produced is much better than that of RB Wagyu high-end beef.
Whether it is in terms of nutritional value, taste or taste, it has absolute advantages. When it is launched on a large scale, it is estimated that the price of RB and beef will collapse.
I heard the news from the agriculture and animal husbandry company. In the past year, there have been many sneaky people around the ranch. Of course, these people are not RB people. Their scope of activities has not been able to expand that far. These people are hired by RB people. The purpose is to collect information and understand the specific number of beef cattle in Mu Us Ranch.
Of course, if they can know that the quality of the beef at Mu Us Ranch is better, they can give a higher price. If they can obtain breeding cattle, they will pay a sky-high fee.
It's just that the management of Mu Us Ranch is very strict, and the people in the town are basically the employees of the ranch and their families. It is very difficult for a stranger to get information on the ranch.
Of course, Zhao Yi would not place his hopes on this. In order to strengthen monitoring and prevent accidents, a large number of high-definition cameras were installed both in the farms and in public areas of the town.
This kind of camera is similar to the pan-tilt of later generations, but the difference is that the vertical angle of their shooting reaches 180 degrees, and the horizontal angle reaches 360 degrees. In order to be able to view specific information in real time in the background, a set of simulated 3D analysis software is used.
With this monitoring system, there are basically no blind spots in monitoring, especially in farms, which are not only densely populated, but also introduce an intelligent early warning system. If an employee is found to be not an employee of the farm, a warning will be sent to the background.
This is only an external means and cannot guarantee that people from the agricultural and animal husbandry company will not commit theft. After all, it is not unheard of that "people die for money and birds die for food", so Zhao Yi has technically prevented this kind of thing from the beginning. happened.
At the beginning of breeding, cattle breeds with degenerative genes were selected. If such cattle are bred normally, they will slowly degenerate in the end, and the final beef will be no different from ordinary Luxi yellow beef.
One of the steps in the farming method of the agricultural and animal husbandry company is to add a reagent to the food of new calves every year. This reagent only needs to be eaten once by the calves to prevent genetic degradation.
If this reagent has not been consumed, the calf will gradually degenerate as its body grows, and the final result will be Luxi cattle.
Zhao Yi did not tell anyone the specific function of this reagent, not even Li Jianguo, the president of the agricultural and animal husbandry company. Zhao Yi told them that it was a vaccine reagent to prevent various plague diseases in beef cattle.
Of course, Zhao Yi was right. This reagent does have the effect of a vaccine and can effectively prevent all known diseases and plagues that cattle can suffer from in the world.
If they did a test, they would not be able to detect the relevant components, because the effect of preventing gene degradation is not achieved by just a few molecules, but by the combined effect of all the ingredients of the entire reagent, and it makes no sense to study it alone.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The agriculture and animal husbandry company also transported the beef Zhao Yi needed through freezing, and the party date agreed with Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu also arrived.
When Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, they saw Zhao Yi and his servants unpacking the freshly delivered beef and placing it in the refrigerator at home.
The quantity shipped this time was a bit large. The beef from two cows and the mutton from 50 sheep were too much to eat in a while, so I refrigerated it and enjoyed it slowly.
As soon as Zhao, who was busy at work, saw the two of them coming hand in hand, he waved: "Come here, help me move the ingredients I will use today to the kitchen, and I will put the rest in the refrigerator."
Zhou Jinjue heard this and said, "I think you are using the pretense of a party to make us work as coolies, right?"
Although he was talking, he still went to help honestly. Zhou Jinyu quietly watched the two of them bickering. She was originally going to help.
As a result, Zhou Jinjue stopped him and said that he could move these things into the kitchen alone, and repeatedly told him: "Don't help Zhao Yi move things to the cold storage, otherwise I will fall out with you."
In the end, Zhou Jinjue finally moved the ingredients to the kitchen. When she came back, she found that Zhou Jinyu was still helping Zhao Yi move things. She was so angry that she felt pity for her sister, but in the end, she was helping Zhao Yi, and she didn't feel pity for her sister just now. As for myself.
Ignoring Zhao Yi and Zhou Jinyu, he returned to his residence in Prince Gong's Mansion and sulked. (End of chapter)
