Chapter 24 Building Blocks

The next morning.

Xu Ming took the high-speed train to Mocheng and arrived at Pioneer 3D Co., Ltd. as an intended customer.

To explain the purpose of the visit, Xu Ming was invited to the conference room, and Zheng Yinjie, the general manager of the company, had someone to serve tea and treat it in person.

Zheng Yinjie attaches great importance to this list.

Although after listening to Xu Ming's narration, I found that the workload of this project was not large, with a maximum of 3.4 million yuan, and the profit margin was only tens of thousands of yuan.

It seems that it is not worth caring too much. You should know that after Pioneer 3D went public, after several increases, its market value has now approached 10 billion.

But that being said, because you can only sell some 3D printers for handicrafts, or you can also take some printing orders for model molds, Pioneer 3D's annual revenue is only about 100 million yuan, profit is less than 10 million yuan, and you may even often lose money.

Moreover, although it is ranked first in the international market and is the best in China, Pioneer 3D has only a hundred employees, and most of them are R&D personnel. The reason why they can pay wages is maintained because investors are optimistic and willing to continue to burn money.

After many rounds of capital speculation, the market value once approached 10 billion yuan, which was optimistic by countless investors.

From this we can see how deformed it has reached.

However, economic growth has been weak in recent years, and the capital market is conservative and wait-and-see, and hype conceptual and fancy capital games are difficult to continue forever. The key is to make a strong iron!

The company's own hematopoietic ability must be improved.

Based on the principle that no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, Zheng Yinjie attaches great importance to this order that takes the initiative. If it can be made into a model project and publicize and report it in the media, there will be more and more customers like Xu Ming who will try it out in the future.

"Mr. Zheng, my requirements are relatively simple. One is to have efficiency blocks and the other is to facilitate movement and combination. As for quality, it is enough to meet the general standards."

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Ming put forward his needs and expressed his general idea.

"The house I want is not very big, it covers an area of ​​20 square meters. Three floors need to be built, each floor must be divided into two rooms, one large and one small, and the inner space should not exceed two meters and five meters. The stairs used to top and bottom are placed outside the house, so there is no need to occupy precious indoor space."

"Of the six rooms on the third floor, the larger room on the first floor is used as a utility room to store all kinds of debris; the smaller room is a place to cook as a kitchen, and the functions of the bathroom must be integrated together, and a toilet and a shower area must be placed."

"The two rooms on the second floor, each with an area of ​​about 10 square meters, one is a bedroom for rest, designed in a tatami style, and can lie on the floor to sleep; the other is a meditation chamber, designed in an absolutely closed shape, with no gaps in the windows, and a sliding rail-style door, and no air leakage after closing. I need a room that can be completely closed."

"The third floor is also a place to put things, put some clothes, debris, etc., without special design, just regular design."

"In addition, the roof should be made into an inclined type, leaving a small corner to place a water storage tank, and other areas are planned to cover solar power panels, so your company is required to design the passage of the water and electricity pipelines to ensure that the entire building can be filled with water and electricity."

Xu Ming's plan was very detailed, and even took out a few design sketches he drew and expressed all the needs he had thought of.

Zheng Yinjie listened very carefully and the design drawings looked clear at a glance. He called a designer named Du over. After seeing Xu Ming's design, he nodded and said:

"It's very simple, without any technical difficulty. You can complete the construction of a three-dimensional map in just two days, and then install equipment on site to quickly print out the house. If it's fast, you may complete this small job within half a month."

Install equipment on site?

Xu Ming immediately shook his head and said, "Manager Zheng, it may not be convenient to operate on the spot. My home is in a very remote place and there is no better road. I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the scene." Isn't it exposed if they are allowed to go to the scene?

"How to do the house if you can't go to the scene?"

Zheng Yinjie looked at him in great surprise: "Mr. Xu, the house is real estate. You can't grow your legs and walk by yourself. If we don't go to the scene, how can you build a house?"

"It's very simple. Since it's a 3D printed house, you don't need to print it in one go. It's divided into small pieces and printed them into a house. Is it okay to put it into a house? Each module should not be too big, it cannot exceed 50 kilograms, and it must be tightly matched during the assembly process without errors."

"In this way, you are like making Lego bricks for a house. First print the house in your factory, then dismantle the house into small pieces and send it to me by express delivery. You don't have to come to the scene and give me a manual. I will complete the rest of the work myself."

Xu Ming expressed his own ideas.

Zheng Yinjie and the Engineer Du were stunned when they heard this.

"This is simply a fool...there's a lot of brainstorm!"

Zheng Yinjie couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xu, building a house is not about playing "Minecraft". You have to consider efficiency and cost. If you do this, the cost will be much higher than integrated molding, and it will take several times more time. It is a very low cost-effective approach."

"I don't look at the cost-effectiveness. I just want to ask, at the technical level, is it difficult to implement this idea?"

"Mr. Du, do you think it's technically difficult?" Zheng Yinjie looked at Engineer Du next to the sofa.

"Well……"

Engineer Du fell into silence, or in other words, his eyes were shiny slightly after being inspired.

"Mr. Du?" Zheng Yinjie asked again.

"Oh, no problem, technically, it's completely fine, but it may be twice or three times more cost-effective, because each module needs to be modeled separately and then printed out. The material used must be high-strength nylon, with higher accuracy requirements. With the supporting facilities, the cost may be millions."

Du Gong made a rough estimate and then said.

"It costs millions, and you can buy a finely decorated house in third- and fourth-tier cities with a large area. Mr. Xu, are you considering whether it is cost-effective to do this?"

From the perspective of the wallet, Zheng Yinjie said for Xu Ming.

“Money is not a problem,”

Xu Ming thought for a while and said, "1 million is not too much, I can afford it! But you have to try to print out the house I want within a month, and I can pay 50% first!"

"Then we have no problem, we can do it within a month."

Gong Du said that one month is quite sufficient, and he is even sure to be ahead of time.

"Okay! I'll wait for your good news!"

The cooperation was reached and after signing the contract, Xu Ming quickly paid 500,000 yuan.

...

After Xu Ming left.

Inside the office.

Looking at the contract in front of him, Zheng Yinjie sighed and said, "Is that the customer a rich second generation? Others buy a house, but he plays with the house."

Du Gong was deeply inspired and said suddenly: "Mr. Zheng, the customer must be a veteran player of "Minecraft". Moreover, the three-dimensional manufacturing industry may find a good breakthrough and open up a vast market."

Zheng Yinjie's eyes also lit up slightly.
