When it comes to hardware, the supply chain cannot be avoided.

For example, a mobile phone, even a small screw on it cannot be separated from the supply chain.

For hardware companies, capital flow, supply chain, and logistics are indispensable links.

When Chen Yi touched this field, he realized the difficulties of this field.

Just this small dash cam, if you want to reduce profits, you must talk to many companies.

For example, display screens, tf cards, lenses and cmos.

These are the most important things. If you want to reduce profits, you have to talk to suppliers one by one.

Chen Yi didn't know any friends who made hardware, so he returned to school and hoped that his alma mater could give him some help.

The first thing he found was the principal.

Speaking of which, the principal also appreciates Chenyi very much. After all, he is only a sophomore year and has created such a big foundation now. It is really a terrifying young man. Perhaps his alma mater will be proud of him in the future.

Moreover, the school has grown up with the benefits of entrepreneurship subsidies for college students. In this regard, the school has helped him a lot.

"Chenyi, I have seen the news that you sued the American Fake Spark recently. If someone violates your rights, you must defend it and succeed."

"Don't worry, this matter is completely fine, and we have conclusive evidence.

Because what we have made has applied for patents from the country and has been protected, it is useless even if they ask lawyers to defend it." Chen Yi smiled and did not take this matter too seriously.

"Then I wish you success."

"Thank you for your blessings."

"Principal Li, I want to talk to you about the talents of our school."

"Oh, you encountered a problem in the process of starting a business. Do you want to poach people?" Principal Li quickly heard the implication from Chen Yi's words.

I actually wanted to find talents, so today's things are easy to deal with.

Chen Yi nodded.

"Yes, to be honest, I'm working on hardware recently, but I don't understand the issue of supply chain management, so I want to ask the principals to introduce what talents are in this regard."

"Then you're looking for the right person."

Principal Li changed his mind and wanted to ask about Chen Yi's current situation:

"What hardware are you working on? Can you disclose it easily?"

Now I'm looking for someone to do things, but I can't talk nonsense to others, so Chen Yi planned to tell the truth:

"It's not a complicated thing, it's a dashcam. I found that there is no good dashcam on the market, so I can make a look."

"You should know that there have been many incidents of car accidents recently. Many old ladies and old men lie in front of the car and extort money. Many people don't want to encounter such a thing on their own."

"Do you think about the cars on the street now, are there very few cars equipped with dash cams?"

Principal Li pondered for a while, but he didn't see any car with a driving recorder.

And there is no such thing in my car.

It seems that the prospect is very big.

"Then you have to make a clear market investigation, otherwise if you start a business blindly, the losses will be huge."

Chen Yi replied: "Don't worry, I have already investigated the market clearly, so I dared to come to you today."

Principal Li felt that Chen Yi was telling the truth. After all, a sophomore student can become a small giant on the Internet, so people like this cannot be underestimated.

"Supply chain...I'll contact you if there are any teachers and students doing this, and I'll give you the contact information at that time."

"Okay, I'll trouble you about this."

"Since I took a break from school, I have already had a certain financial strength. Now I want to repay my alma mater."

"Hey, you are starting a business now and need money. There is no need to talk about such things now. You can do it when you really have the strength."

Chen Yi smiled:

"Don't worry, Chen Yi has no other ideas. There is a founder in our company who is also from our school."

Principal Li naturally knew who the person Chen Yi was talking about was, that is, Guan Yao, who was about to go out for an internship in the junior accounting class.

Guan Yao is also a poor student with excellent academic performance and receives scholarships almost every year.

She was also very lucky. She was able to follow Shen Yi at the beginning. Now she should be in Shen Yi’s company, right?

"I just think it's not easy for those poor students to go to school. If I want to support them, I plan to take out 2 million cash as a scholarship."

The starting point of the economy is better. Since he said he is not short of money and he wants to support poor students with this money, it would be not good if he refuses.

"Well, your alma mater will remember your gifts, and those students will remember your help."

Principal Li is still a relatively upright person.

They left a phone number.

…

Three days later, the person recommended by the principal came, and Chen Yi asked him to talk about treatment at a hotel near the company.

This person is Yan Hongyuan. He is 29 years old this year and studies industrial engineering. After graduation, he has changed several jobs.

Now at Sichi is responsible for negotiating business with other small hardware manufacturers.

He is very familiar with the supply chain, after all, Sizhi is a supply chain manufacturer.

Moreover, Sizhi is one of the few manufacturers that can produce TF cards, and is a giant in Neon Kingdom semiconductor.

This news made Chen Yi very happy. The principal was able to introduce such a suitable talent. It seemed that he had really asked with sincerity.

Chen Yi and Yan Hongyuan had a great conversation. On the same day, Chen Yi promised to use his monthly salary of 12,000 yuan and promised to have a year award.

Now Yan Hongyuan is just a middle-level manager, with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan. Now that he sees Chenyi, he directly promises to double it!

Who can't be moved by such conditions?

Moreover, Mengyuan Company is a popular and famous Internet company recently. It is said that the treatment is very good. Now it is an excellent opportunity to open up a hardware business.

So Yan Hongyuan was very determined to change jobs.

Chen Yi also felt that it was worth it to spend money to hire him.

With this person, he doesn't have to go to various supply chains in person.

Yan Hongyuan did not disappoint Chen Yi's expectations. After taking office, he directly negotiated a business with his old boss and obtained 4g and 8g memory cards at the lowest wholesale price.

Next, there are still shots, and supply chain manufacturers such as cmos are waiting for him to discuss.

Although Yan Hongyuan is still very concerned about it after changing the company.

He won the supply chain manufacturers needed by Chenyi one after another. Even if the other manufacturers are not kept to the lowest, the prices are similar to those of small manufacturers that also get goods.

As supply chain manufacturers are taken down one by one, Chen Yi is very happy in this regard. After all, such an important link has been solved.

The quality in this regard is almost guaranteed, and there are no middlemen in the electronics market to make a difference.

There is no shortage of capital flow and the logistics is still OK, so you can sell it through online stores.

You can also cooperate with some retail stores to give up some of the benefits and benefit mutually.
