45: Dawn mobile phone?

Through this incident with the motherboard yield rate, Lin Chen also understood why there were so many OEM factories in later generations, yet the oldest one, Foxconn from Taiwan, ultimately became the NO.1 in the industry.

There was no other way; although the production difficulty of circuit motherboards was not as high as chip manufacturing, it was not something you could produce just by buying some machines and hiring some people.

During the production process, you would encounter all sorts of problems that you would never have anticipated before production began.

So, what was the greatest strength of an experienced electronics factory? Their greatest strength lay in the abundant experience they had accumulated!

Lin Chen undoubtedly had no way of acquiring this rich experience, because this experience was not registered in the form of patents.

Instead, it was stored in the company's database, in the minds of those engineers, and at this time, Lin Chen was undoubtedly unable to poach people from those large motherboard factories.

After all, setting aside whether Lin Chen's funds allowed it, even if the funds were sufficient, if they didn't reach a level that would make those engineers crazy, they wouldn't come.

There was nothing he could do; they looked down on his small operation!

After all, when switching to a small company, besides considering money, one also had to consider whether the company could grow further and whether it could afford to pay salaries.

Otherwise, if they worked for one or two months only for the company to go bankrupt, not only would the various promises and benefits not be realized, but they might not even get paid, and ultimately, they would be the ones losing out.

Therefore, Lin Chen's situation at this time truly made it impossible to hire factory-level engineers, and even slightly better-known engineers were difficult to attract.

As for slightly higher salaries and benefits for ordinary engineers, Lin Chen could accept them, but if it required paying several times the market price to invite them, he would decline.

Because with Lin Chen present, the role of ordinary engineers was not significant; Lin Chen could solve many problems himself.

After all, Lin Chen had the mountain fortress king system's Virtual Laboratory, and when he encountered problems, he could find the cause through repeated simulations in the Virtual Laboratory.

Moreover, such simulations, while solving problems, did not affect the normal operation of the actual production line, so the cost of improving the yield rate was almost 0.

Therefore, under these circumstances, although many problems were encountered during the production of mobile phone motherboards, Lin Chen was able to overcome them one by one.

It could be said that with Lin Chen, it was hard to say if Dawn Mobile Phone Factory's yield rate would reach 100% within a month, but 70% should not be an issue.

Of course, no matter what the yield rate was, it did not hinder the production and sales of mobile phones; it was just that too low a yield rate would lead to production losses, so too low a yield rate was actually not suitable for mass production.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that Lin Chen's actions in tackling the yield rate were not just him blindly tinkering by himself.

Instead, he would bring up difficulties for discussion with everyone during the 40-minute study time at noon and before getting off work each day.

During this time, Lin Chen also continuously discovered and promoted talented individuals among the workers who were not good at social interaction.

In this world, some people are outgoing, while others are silent and not good at social interaction.

Outgoing people, whether in life or in their careers, are always prioritized by their superiors for important tasks.

Among these, they naturally experienced failures as well as successes; failures would lead to being scolded or fired, but success meant progress and becoming a superior.

Among them, people who were not good at social interaction or flattering others undoubtedly had very few opportunities for appointment.

However, being poor at social interaction does not mean such people are useless; it would be difficult for such people to do business, and their chances of success would not be high.

But such people play a significant role in factories and research and development; they are the cornerstone of industry.

People with this personality type usually work more diligently and are obedient, and they will also study earnestly, rather than spending their time on socializing and entertainment.

So, if you go to a large factory, you will find that the people in important core technical positions are mostly those who are not very good at social interaction.

Of course, if one is good at social interaction and also studies diligently, they certainly have more advantages under the same circumstances, but usually the core backbone group of a factory.

They are usually those men who are relatively silent, not good at social interaction, or more accurately, not good at flattering their superiors or giving them gifts.

And while Lin Chen was tackling the yield rate and presenting problems to people for them to learn and research, he was also quietly observing them.

He naturally paid attention to those who were outgoing and willing to learn, but he would also focus more on cultivating those who were silent, not good at social interaction, and diligently studied knowledge.

So at this time, Lin Chen was quietly cultivating his technical backbone team.

And these backbones will be the core strength for extending from the mobile phone industry to other industries in the future, after all, in the technology industry, what ultimately matters is core technology!

...

Time slowly passed, as Shuguang Mobile Phone Factory continued to hone its internal capabilities and improve its yield rate.

Time flowed like water, and in a blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and the date quietly arrived at September 5, 2002.

On this day, a piece of news appeared in the Nanhua Business Daily and subsequently caused a huge sensation and heated discussion for a period of time.

The sensational event was that a mobile phone company named Shuguang Technology dared to sue Jinli Mobile Phone Company, which was currently soaring and hailed as the most promising to defeat Boda Mobile!

Heavens, a little-known mobile phone company actually dared to sue the currently booming KingKee Mobile Phone?!

This matter inherently possessed the hot news factor and could arouse people's curiosity.

Finally, coupled with the relatively calm period in the mobile phone industry during this time, this incident immediately attracted attention and discussion within the mobile phone industry.

And such a situation would attract other newspapers and media to report on this news, so the incident of Shuguang Mobile Phone suing KingKee Mobile Phone quickly became popular and sparked heated discussions across China.

During this, as people discussed and viewed related content, they were surprised to find that KingKee Mobile Phone had indeed infringed upon Shuguang Technology Company's patent!

Because Lin Chen, the boss of Shuguang Technology, was actually the owner of the original Chenguang Mobile Phone's drop-proof design structure!

Everyone who learned about this news showed surprised expressions, not expecting that this matter would involve Chenguang Mobile Phone, which had recently gained nationwide fame.

The reason it could be called nationally famous was because after Lin Chen left Chenguang Mobile Phone.

Ke Hanliang also emulated Lin Chen's "shocking drop" action in SEG Plaza, holding successive mobile phone drop "tests" in high-rise buildings across China.

During this, although Chenguang Mobile Phone had experienced damage from drops, the concept of Chenguang Mobile Phone's durability was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.

Among them, they did not know that the current "Chenguang Mobile Phone" was not as durable as advertised.
