288: Apply for more than 30 patents? Give out bonuses!

The subsequent Chip Production went very smoothly, and Liu Xiaolin's recently anxious heart also calmed down a lot.

"Professor Li, I'll have to trouble you to look after the Chip Production Workshop," Liu Xiaolin said.

"This is my job, it's what I should do," Li Zhaolong said, waving his hand.

"Alright, your modifications are done well. I'll head back to the lithography machine production workshop then." Zhuang Wuya and Lu Yifan were planning to leave.

"I'll go and take a look with you," Liu Xiaolin said.

He always felt there was something he needed to discuss with Zhuang Wuya and the others, but he couldn't recall it immediately. He figured maybe if he went over there and looked around, he might remember.

The group of three walked into the lithography machine production workshop, where it was still busy and orderly. 33 Novel Network.

"Recently, has the production cycle for the lithography machine been shortened a bit?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"After implementing assembly line operations, many components can now be mass-produced. The most important part is the assembly. We are also using assembly line operations for several large body sections, so currently, the production cycle for the lithography machine has been shortened to about ten days," Zhuang Wuya said with a smile.

"Really? I didn't expect it could shorten the cycle by a third. This way, all six lithography machines for Langfang Fine Carving can be completed in two months," Liu Xiaolin said happily.

"There's an issue I need to discuss with you. The lithography machines for Langfang Fine Carving will definitely be the 2.0 version, but Shatbo Country ordered the 1.0 Lithography Machine. Do we need to communicate with them and offer them the upgraded 2.0 Lithography Machine?" Zhuang Wuya had seen the sales contract and had been paying attention to this issue.

At this moment, Liu Xiaolin suddenly felt enlightened. It turned out this was the very issue he had vaguely wanted to discuss.

"Then, Professor Zhuang, could you provide me with a copy of the 2.0 Lithography Machine product manual and a detailed cost budget? I'll discuss it with Minister Bu to see how to reprice it, and I'll inform you after the other party makes a decision," Liu Xiaolin said.

The 2.0 Lithography Machine has even greater advantages compared to the 1.0 Lithography Machine, so the price will definitely have to change, and it can't be lower; it needs to align with international prices.

The pricing principle for the 1.0 Lithography Machine was based on the cost budget plus a certain profit margin, without considering international prices, because at that time there was concern that Dragon Country's lithography machine technology wouldn't be recognized. Now it's different; the efficiency of a 2.0 Lithography Machine is double that of a 1.0 Lithography Machine! In this situation, a low price would only reflect a strong lack of confidence!

"Okay, I can give you the product manual and cost budget this afternoon," Zhuang Wuya said.

He was only responsible for R&D and production, so he didn't care about pricing and sales.

"Currently, my plan is this: all six lithography machines for Langfang Fine Carving will be the 2.0 series. For the one lithography machine ordered by Baifang Electronics, let's also produce the 2.0 series for him; consider it a contribution to the technological revitalization of Dragon Country," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. "However, we need to have a good talk with Shatterpoe about their order. I plan to quote them an international price: one point five billion for one unit."

"That's quite an increase, haha. You decide what to do," Zhuang Wuya said with a smile. "As long as you get the order, we'll produce it."

In the afternoon, while Liu Xiaolin was sitting in the General Manager's office looking at financial reports, Zhuang Wuya and Lu Yifan knocked and entered.

"General Manager Liu, we've come to bring you the product manual and budget report," Zhuang Wuya said.

"Please have a seat, please have a seat. Did you have to come all the way yourselves? I could have just called and asked Xiao Wu to pick it up," Liu Xiaolin said warmly.

"We came over in case there were parts you didn't understand, so we could explain them to you anytime," Lu Yifan said with a smile.

"Haha, I definitely don't understand the technical knowledge, but I should be able to understand the production efficiency and budget data," Liu Xiaolin said as he took the product manual and the detailed budget cost sheet.

"We made a comparison between our budgeted cost sheet and the actual cost sheet. After the comparison, our actual cost saved one point five percent compared to the budgeted cost. Don't underestimate this one point five percent; it's not a small amount," Lu Yifan said proudly.

"Really? How did you achieve the cost reduction? Will it affect the quality of the lithography machine?" Liu Xiaolin asked curiously.

"Previously, some components could only be hammered and made one by one by hand, which consumed a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and working hours, naturally making the unit price of components high. Through R&D, we have completed the mechanical production process for these components and achieved mass production, so the cost has naturally been greatly reduced. Our suppliers and processing partners are very satisfied with our invention of mass production mechanical equipment. For this, we have already applied for more than twenty patents," Zhuang Wuya said proudly.

Recently, he had been in the lithography machine production workshop and was very familiar with the production of every process and every component. To speed things up and reduce costs, he had developed many mechanical devices capable of mass production, providing great convenience for the mass production of components.

The saying that science and technology are the primary productive forces was validated time and again.

"Wow, you've applied for so many patents and didn't even tell me," Liu Xiaolin said, full of happiness.

"You're busy like a spinning top every day, so there's no need to tell you about such small matters," Zhuang Wuya said nonchalantly.

"No, you have to tell me. From now on, for every patent application, I will reward you with ten thousand dragon currency," Liu Xiaolin said excitedly. "These patents are wealth created for the company. The company cannot overlook your achievements!"

"Huh? You're actually giving rewards? That makes things easy then. Let's issue this month's patent bonuses first. Thirty-two patents, three hundred and twenty thousand, haha," Zhuang Wuya said with a smile.

"Write a payment request, and I'll sign it and have the finance department issue it immediately," Liu Xiaolin said.

"You're really giving it?" Zhuang Wuya and Lu Yifan were both a little stunned.

"Of course, we must. The company values the treatment of R&D personnel and even more so needs to encourage and protect everyone's invention patents and enthusiasm for inventing." Liu Xiaolin placed the highest importance on patent protection.

"Thank you, General Manager Liu. Although I don't care about this bonus, the young people in our R&D Department still need it. They need money to support their families, date, and start families, so we will accept it. Let me thank General Manager Liu on behalf of the young men for valuing our R&D Department so much," Zhuang Wuya was very happy. Everyone hopes their work is recognized.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. This is the bonus you deserve," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. "From now on, as long as a patent is applied for, you submit a payment report. Based on the mass production benefits of the patent, the bonus amount can be appropriately increased! I hope this can encourage everyone to invent more and then apply for patents."
