Although Eiji Kimura was a little confused by Shirakawa Kaede's tiered pricing.
But he keenly noticed the number of 10,000 pieces, priced at 3,000 yen per piece.
The total value is 30 million yen. It’s a big order! It’s undoubtedly a big order!
At least for Kimura Manufacturing, it is a truly big order.
Eiji Kimura knew that his company could not be compared with giants like Hitachi and Toshiba.
Not to mention 30 million, even 300 million is nothing special to them.
But Kimura Production is different. The profit from 30 million is already considerable.
As for the reduction in foundry costs for more than 10,000 pieces, he calculated carefully and found that there is still profit to be made.
And just like ordinary manufacturing, the greater the production capacity of Kimura Manufacturing, the lower the processing cost.
Then the profit will go up, which will offset the reduction in the processing quotation and maintain the original profit.
This tiered pricing method is simply a genius idea.
Eiji Kimura's pair of shrewd little eyes began to roll around, and his shiny forehead was slightly sweaty, reflecting the light and looking bright.
"Mr. Shirakawa, I have to say your proposal is very tempting. In principle, Kimura Manufacturing agrees with your third option.
But the specific details still need to be discussed, you see..."
Shirakawa Feng waved his hand and glanced at Oda who was sitting next to him. "Oda-san will be responsible for communicating with Kimura-san about the specific details of the cooperation later."
The tool man Oda immediately nodded to show that he understood, and began to record the details of the cooperation that Baichuan Feng had just mentioned with the pen in his hand.
"However, whether the cooperation can be successful in the end will require Shirakawa Electric's R&D team to visit your company for an on-site inspection before we can decide."
"Of course, of course." Eiji Kimura nodded quickly in agreement.
This is all normal procedure. No one is so careless as to place an order without even making an on-site inspection.
"Also," Shirakawa Kaede looked at Kimura Eiji with a serious expression again.
When he heard the word "another", Eiji Kimura's heart tightened.
He was afraid that this difficult-to-deal-with Baichuan-san would come up with some irresistible idea.
“From the time we receive the order, when is the earliest time Kimura Production can deliver the first batch?
Let me remind you, Kimura-san, the fastest time among Hitachi is two months."
Two months? Kimura Eiji felt bitter. This is really a stressful time.
"One month!" Kimura Eiji gritted his teeth and said, "Kimura Manufacturing will be able to deliver the first batch in no more than one month at the latest."
No matter how difficult it is in practice, just agree to it first.
Baichuan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded gently, "Okay, I see the sincerity of Kimura Productions.
We hope to reach a mutually satisfactory cooperation plan with you.”
After saying that, Baichuan Feng stood up and extended his hand to the other party.
Eiji Kimura was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with him.
"It has always been our vision at Kimura Productions to be able to collaborate with Shirakawa Electric."
After saying this, Eiji Kimura bowed tactfully and left the office.
"Mr. Oda, you now understand the general method of cooperation.
We will do our best to gain more benefits for Shirakawa Electric. Every step of our development needs to be carefully calculated.”
"Ha!" Oda nodded, then said goodbye and left.
Baichuan Feng adjusted his sitting posture and leaned back in the chair . Originally, these things should not be handled by him as the president himself.
But there is no way, Shirakawa Electric currently has only this one project, and it is a top priority.
He will only feel at ease if he personally checks the budget and other things.
Once everything is on the right track, he will no longer be involved in these things.
At most, they would ask about the main data and then sign their name.
The reason why he had just tried every means to reduce the cost of the circuit board to less than 3,000 yen was for the sake of future profit margins.
The material cost of a product cannot exceed half of the production cost, otherwise the profit will be diluted.
Production costs include materials, labor, manufacturing and other expenses. Taking Flashman's selling price of 25,000 yen as an example, the maximum production cost cannot exceed 60%, which is 15,000 yen.
If half of the 15,000 yen is used as material cost, it would be 7,500 yen .
The circuit board costs 3,000 yen, and the movement is a little cheaper, but don't forget that Flashman also needs to be paired with earphones.
Although the cost of the headphones is relatively low, the total cost of the three is almost 7,000 yen.
Therefore, the lower the cost of the circuit board, which is the largest part, the greater the profit.
With a material cost of 7,500 yen, the net profit of each Flashman is approximately 20% of the selling price.
But if the sales are good, according to Baichuan Feng's calculations.
The net profit for each Walkman can even reach 25%, which is a very attractive rate of return.
Therefore, the tiered pricing is a very good deal for the broad prospects of the Walkman .
Movement, casing, assembly, Shirakawa Electric has a newly completed production line.
If the circuit board goes well, it should be handed over to Kimura Manufacturing.
Since the technology of earbud headphones is relatively simple, Shirakawa Electric can completely produce them by itself.
In this way, all the production problems of Flashman have been solved one by one. All I have to do is wait for the first batch of shipments.
Now that the product is produced, the next step is to consider market sales.
Well, from design to production, and then to market launch, I, as the president, am really involved in the whole process, moving products wherever they are needed.
But as I said, everything is still in its infancy, so just be a little tired .
As for the issue of sales, of course, we need to think about it carefully.
After all, even good wine needs to be hidden in a bush.
Now is the industrial age, and a product wants to stand out among the complex, emerging, and various commodities.
Marketing is an indispensable means and sometimes even plays a decisive role.
So how should Flashman be brought to the market? Although the previous movie was a foreshadowing, it will not be released until next year.
Because the production plan of Flash Man was advanced, the promotion of this part of the movie was unnecessary, or it was too late.
What other means can be used?
Baichuan Feng leaned back in his chair, slowly turning around on his tiptoes, and began to think about the publicity in his mind.
There has been some movement on Matsuda Seiko's part. Originally, Shirakawa Kaede was planning to wait until she became famous and then take advantage of her popularity.
But at the moment, can Shirakawa Electric take the initiative to shoot the advertisement first and then put it on the market?
Well, that's a problem.
