They had just finished eating Yuanxiao yesterday, and the company had started work today. Everyone wished each other a happy new year, and the atmosphere of the new year was still overflowing in the company. Although I didn't specifically say it, I believe everyone is looking forward to it. They are looking forward to the successful launch of our first product as soon as possible. However, no matter how fast it was, it would take two weeks for the results to be out. Although X-ray was the leader in the production of chips, the production time was still so long.
In the company, I saw Old Liu instructing his subordinates to speed up the establishment of the company's basic system. As for some office automated systems, I handed them to Old Liu at the beginning of the company's establishment, including the ERP.(Enterprise Resource Planning), SSS (Subcontractor Management System, Engineering Analysis System), and other basic systems required by the design companies. Of course, with my unique conception and ability, the degree of humanization is absolutely amazing. You'll know when you use it in the future.
As I am a technical consultant in the company, other than teaching technical knowledge to relevant personnel every week, I basically have nothing to do. Moreover, the series of products for the next two years will have a total of fifteen models. I have already developed them and stored them in my notebook computer. However, I don't want to hand them over to the R D staff immediately. After all, cultivating their independent work ability is the fundamental guarantee for the company's future development. Basically, I will assist the company until the first product is successfully launched into the market. After the operation is stable, I will step back and let them work hard.
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. The management staff of Taiwan X Electric delivered three chips that their colleagues were looking forward to early in the morning. Why were there only three chips? Generally speaking, in order to save costs, the engineering batch was divided into three parts. The first part was directly manufactured and shipped, the second part was suspended on the first layer of metal, and the third part was suspended on the polysilicon layer. The main purpose was to speed up the revision process once a problem was discovered and needed to be revised.
The R D staff placed the chip on the probe station in the laboratory, set up the power supply and connected the relevant application circuits. Looking at the signal and wave output of the product on the scope, Tony, the vice president of engineering, shouted," Success!”Following that, they celebrated an exciting day with endless applause and laughter.
After testing the entire chip, it was found that the yield was as high as 99.8%. This X-ray machine was indeed the best in the world with a first-class yield. After the test, the chips were sent to South M Company for packaging. When the packaged product came out, it would be five days later. Holding the company's first product printed with laser codes in their hands, everyone's hearts were filled with mixed feelings. The company had been established for exactly 66 days, and they believed that this auspicious number that symbolized the six six smooth will smoothly push the FTL to the world stage.
While Teresa led the sales team to introduce our first product to the MP3 players and cell phone customers, the reliability verification of the product's time quality was also in progress. Since this product is the first bell that the FTL has rung to the world, I suggest that we test it in an industrial scale. By the time the reliability verification was completed, it was already Labor Day.
After three consecutive days of rest (this year's Labor Day happened to be a Monday), on May 2nd, the marketing staff received the first order from the customer, asking for delivery in June. The entire manufacturing, contracting, and quality assurance units were mobilized. At this point, the company was finally on the right track.
According to the product strategy, the average selling price (ASPs) of this chip is only 2 USD, which is 50% cheaper than the current 4 USD per chip of the main industry suppliers, TA and TN. The efficiency is also increased by 20%, which makes our product a hit in the industry.
After the cost calculation, the product gross profit (GM: With such an excellent profit rate, coupled with the extremely high design threshold, even the so-called advanced technology companies in Europe, America, and Japan would not be able to reach our level of efficiency and low price. Not to mention our high gross profit, there is still a lot of room for price reduction as a future marketing strategy.
Therefore, in the next few months, the performance growth was much higher than expected. In June alone, it shipped 1,000,000 units.(millions of pills), the sales amount reached 2 million US dollars (60 million New Taiwan Dollars), the profit reached 1.2 million US dollars (36 million New Taiwan Dollars), deducting the monthly management, sales and research expenses of about 6 million New Taiwan Dollars, the monthly net profit was 30 million New Taiwan Dollars. The whole company was ecstatic. Under my instructions, Old Liu received an additional month's salary on July 5th to encourage everyone.
By the end of September, the company had shipped more than 3KK in a single month and earned more than 100 million New Taiwan Dollars. After deducting the net expenses of the company's establishment and research and development stage in the first five months, the company had accumulated a total surplus of more than 200 million New Taiwan Dollars. This was an exciting thing. In order to boost morale and create new achievements, Old Liu decided to give each employee two months 'salary as a Mid-Autumn Festival bonus. This was, of course, approved by everyone with applause. Due to the growth in performance, in order to facilitate the cash flow of the current operation, the board of directors unanimously agreed to increase the capital from 200 million New Taiwan Dollars to 300 million New Taiwan Dollars. Except for a small portion that was purchased by employees, the rest were transferred to capital in the form of surplus. Therefore, by the end of 2006, the company's capital was 300 million New Taiwan Dollars, the number of employees increased to 60, the accumulated profit reached 600 million New Taiwan Dollars, and the EPS(earnings per share) reached 20 New Taiwan Dollars. Although this astonishing report card was not a pioneering work, it was still a rare achievement.
At the end of January 2007, the company's first year-end end-of-year celebration was held at Hsinchu B Hotel. The company was making money! I instructed Old Liu to hold this year-end party with great fanfare. On the one hand, it would let the employees know that the company's top management was not petty. On the other hand, it would also let the industry and even the world know more about the FTL. After all, Taiwan's newspapers and other media are world-class. I would not refuse such free advertising benefits.
The Weiya host invited the famous Weiya Heavenly Queen, Miss Kou, and invited more than ten popular film and television singers to participate in the grand event. Of course, the scale of the company was still considered a small enterprise. To be able to invite these Heavenly Kings and Queens, it had to be done by Mr. Manny Money. The BMW X5 SUV was the first prize (Lao Liu was a loyal fan of BMW), and there were six other cars, including Aundi and HONDA, as well as a series of awards including cash. In addition to the company's employees, the family members of the employees, the company's customers, distribution agents, outsourcers, equipment suppliers, etc. were all guests of the Weiya.
The company's external affairs were always handled by Old Liu. Other than a few trusted central officials, no one else knew about Chen Ling and my existence on the board of directors. The only intriguing thing was that those who were interested had already found out from the registration of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economics that the person in charge of the company was Chen Ling. However, it was only these two words, and there was no other further information.
The Weiya party was spent in an exciting and surprising atmosphere. There was a small interlude in the middle. Because my parents were getting younger, people would come over to toast me from time to time. I told the inquirers that they were my big brother and sister-in-law. Seeing my parents at the same table show a satisfied smile, I was also happy! He was really lucky to have such a fortuitous encounter!
