"Since the design of the product has been completed, how is the production of the product arranged?"

Seeing that Li Qi and everyone were so confident, Feng Hao asked.

The product has been able to make a finished product, and it is natural to start production so that it can be converted into cash.

"Mr. Feng, the production center of Haotian Research Institute, has already negotiated with us. The factory to be purchased this time is in the Airport Industrial Zone of Shunyi District. The negotiation has been successful in early May, and new production equipment is currently being constructed. ."

"Airport Industrial Zone in Shunyi District?"

Although Feng Hao knew that the production center was responsible for production, he did not inquire about the specific production location.

During that time, he was designing a villa at home and didn't care much about it.

Only at this time did he know that it turned out to be the Airport Industrial Zone in Shunyi District of Kyoto, but he was very unclear about the situation of this industrial zone.

"The airport industrial zone is home to some technology companies, such as Xianziyan Trading, Shenghongtai Electromechanical Equipment, Zhuo Lei Laser Technology, etc. The entry of this production center has brought certain convenience."

"At the same time, this industrial park is not far from our Zhaoyi Innovation, which is very convenient for communication. Another convenience is that the geographical location of this area is very convenient, close to international airports, railway stations, highways and other transportation facilities."

Seeing Feng Hao's doubts, Li Qi opened his mouth to introduce. He was still very satisfied with this industrial area.

"That's good, I hope you can cooperate well."

Now that Li Qi and the production center have already dealt with the production problem, Feng Hao didn't ask any further questions.

"By the way, this time Zhaoyi Innovation will hold a product launch conference, about the release of U disk and SD card, and even the solid-state hard disk."

Feng Hao has thought about it before, the product still needs to hold a product launch.

Although there are not many products this time, there are only three categories, but they are all super advanced products. It is still necessary to hold a product launch conference.

It is to invite some well-known domestic technology media to the scene, which can achieve a certain publicity effect.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, what about the pricing of the product?"

"Li Qi, what are your thoughts?"

"Mr. Feng, as for pricing, according to the comparison of domestic and foreign manufacturers, although our products are relatively advanced and have superior performance, the pricing is not particularly high."

"For a U disk, 1G is 299 yuan, 2G is 569 yuan, 4G is 999 yuan, and 8G is 1699 yuan. As for SD cards, 1G is 329 yuan, 2G is 599 yuan, 4G is 1099 yuan, and 8G is 1899 yuan. There is also a solid-state drive, which is temporarily priced as follows, 20G is 1200 yuan, 40G is 2000 yuan, and 80G is 3999 yuan."

In the domestic and foreign flash memory markets, the international flash memory market experienced a shock in early March.

Netac, the mainstream international mobile storage manufacturer, took the lead in launching a popularization storm, which lowered the price of ordinary flash disks by about 40% across the board, and the flash disks with a capacity of more than 1G also dropped sharply.

Taking Netac's flash disk U200 as an example, it has dropped to an ultra-low shocking price of 319 yuan for 1G and 699 yuan for 2G. The price is no longer a bottleneck restricting purchases.

Of course, these are ordinary flash memory products with very slow read and write speeds, but they are also expensive.

When Feng Hao was in March or April, he didn't know much about the storage market, and he also knew about the price of storage.

However, he thinks Li Qi's price is low. After all, ordinary storage costs 319 yuan for 1G, and their flash memory is a new generation of things, but the price is even cheaper, only 299 yuan.

"Li Qi, isn't this price a bit low?"

"President Feng, I personally think the price is good, mainly for the following two reasons."

"First, our material production has our own solution, and the cost is very low. Only the price of the chip, which is handed over to the OEM, is relatively high, but it is also a very low level.

"Second, we have not yet opened up the market. We urgently need to occupy the market. It must have characteristics. On the one hand, it is the performance of the product. Kung fu will do.”

"Li Qi, it seems that your ambition is not small. You want to occupy most of the high-end flash memory market."

Feng Hao stared at Li Qi. He didn't expect his ambition to be so big. It wasn't as simple as just wanting to get a piece of the pie, but to monopolize the market.

With much superior products and lower prices, quickly occupy the market, and even monopolize the high-end market.

At present, there are almost no high-end ultra-fast flash memory products in the domestic market, and some of them are imported from abroad. For example, for Samsung and Intel, a 1GB USB flash drive costs $100 and is worth more than 800.

Although this product has good performance, it is not as top-notch as the innovative product of Zhaoyi, and the price is frighteningly expensive.

Feng Hao can imagine that Zhaoyi's innovative products have been launched and will definitely be looted.

"Mr. Feng, we have this capital. Because our cost is still low, only about 30%, we will continue to optimize the production process in the future, and it can even be reduced to about 20%."

"Indeed, then install your ideas."

Feng Hao nodded and agreed with Li Qi's plan.

In fact, the solution provided by Feng Hao is very advanced, and there is almost no waste of research and development funds, so it is natural for the profit to be high.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, let's follow this plan. By the way, when will the press conference be held?"

"The press conference, you can decide, the sooner the better."

"Are you going to attend this conference?"

"decide as things go."

Feng Hao thought about it, he might not have time to participate, besides Li Qi was fully capable of hosting it.

"Mr. Feng, the time will be set at the end of this month, May 28. As for the official launch of the product on June 18, there is just over a month to go into production."

"The production time is only one month, is the number of products enough to be listed?"

"Enough, we have a total of six production lines, which will be adjusted later according to the sales situation."

Since Li Qi felt that there was plenty of time, Feng Hao naturally did not refute.

It was officially listed on June 18, which was a good day.

...

South Korea, Samsung Semiconductor Corporation.

U disk and SD card research and development base, the world's largest memory chip manufacturer's production base.

At this time, they are cheering, they have developed a new generation of flash memory on the basis of the original.

The performance of reading and writing has improved by as much as 20%, and they are about to release a product this week, and a product will be launched early next month.

Hegemony, Silicon Valley.

A world-renowned system company and a well-known storage production company, Intel has also developed a new generation of products, and the date of listing is not far away.

They were also cheering, with excitement in their words.

Maybe they will be able to surpass Samsung soon, as if the position of the first storage company is theirs.
