Chapter 326 (2/2)
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.
