The small lightning bolt icon indicating charging lit up on the top right of both phone screens!

"We did it!" Sun Zhongyong and Zhao Wanyu exclaimed excitedly at the same time.

Looking at the indicators on the phones, Chen Mengchuan smiled and handed the Apple phone to Zhao Wanyu, and the Google Android phone to Sun Zhongyong.

"You two keep walking forward," Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

Zhao Wanyu picked up her phone, took a deep breath, and cautiously walked forward. 11 meters, 12 meters, 13 meters... 17 meters. Standing at about 17 meters, Zhao Wanyu nodded to the group, "It's still charging!"

"Further!" Toni pushed up his glasses and said.

Zhao Wanyu took two more steps forward and waved her hand, "It's not charging anymore!"

"It seems Dawn 1.0's range is indeed only 17.3 meters!" Toni stated.

"Brother Sun, you walk forward too," Chen Mengchuan said.

After the test, the maximum charging distance for both phones was the same, or rather, the maximum charging distance for both Dawn 1.0 units was the same.

After walking back, Sun Zhongyong looked at Chen Mengchuan and the others with excitement in his eyes.

"Brother Xu, what's the current production capacity of the two assembly lines?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"Let's talk somewhere else," Xu Shuwei suggested.

Chen Mengchuan nodded, and the group of six entered Xu Shuwei's office and closed the door. Everyone sat down.

Xu Shuwei began to answer Chen Mengchuan's previous question: "Based on the calculations, with both assembly lines working at full capacity, each line can produce 34,000 sets of Dawn 1.0 per day. The monthly production can reach 1 million sets. But this is just a theoretical value. Considering machine wear and tear, breakdowns, and other factors, reaching a monthly production of 700,000 sets would already be very good."

"What about the progress of the assembly lines that are still being modified?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"They will be completed gradually, and eventually, we will have a total of 12 assembly lines."

"Too slow!" Toni pushed up his glasses and looked at Chen Mengchuan.

Chen Mengchuan nodded with a solemn expression, "Indeed, too slow."

"Ahem, if one assembly line produces 700,000 sets a month, then 12 lines would produce 8.4 million sets a month. You still think it's too slow?" Sun Zhongyong, standing nearby, felt a bit dizzy and speechless seeing the expressions on Chen Mengchuan, Xu Shuwei, and Toni's faces.

"Brother, how many mobile phones do you think there are in all of Huaxia?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked, sounding a bit exasperated.

"Uh, I don't know. A few hundred million, probably..." Sun Zhongyong replied.

"There are at least 800 million mobile phones in all of Huaxia. With a monthly production of 8.4 million, it would take us over 8 years to produce 800 million sets of Dawn 1.0. Do you understand?" Gu Xiaoxiao explained.

Sun Zhongyong slowly said, "Will everyone buy it? If that's the case, isn't it already very good?"

"Forget it, Toni, you explain it..." Gu Xiaoxiao said, feeling a bit speechless.

Toni pushed up his glasses, "It's too slow. We need to expand, Mengchuan. We need at least 200 assembly lines to barely support our upcoming plans."

Chen Mengchuan nodded in agreement with Toni's statement.

He turned to Xu Shuwei and asked, "What's the current ratio for these 12 assembly lines?"

"Are you asking about the ratio of iOS to Android? It's 5 to 7. There will be 5 assembly lines for iOS and 7 for Android," Xu Shuwei replied.

"Then what about the price? What's the most suitable price to set?" Chen Mengchuan looked at everyone.

"The iOS version charger, and the Android version has an additional headphone jack. Let's price the iOS version at 299 Huaxia Yuan and the Android version at 199 Huaxia Yuan. What do you think?" Xu Shuwei said slowly.

Sun Zhongyong's heart skipped a beat, "Isn't this price a bit too high? Selling a charger for 200 yuan... The most expensive wireless chargers on the market are around a hundred yuan, and most are less than a hundred yuan."

Gu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "Can it be the same? Brother, I don't even know how to talk to you. You're underestimating Dawn 1.0 too much. This is definitely a piece of super-era black technology! I'm telling you, Dawn 1.0 will be priceless!"

"Let's go with a high-end route. The Huaxia version of Dawn 1.0 - iOS version for 499, Android version for 399! The overseas version of Dawn 1.0 will be priced at 199 US dollars, and the Android version at 159 US dollars!" Toni pushed up his glasses and said seriously.

Xu Shuwei's jowls trembled, "Toni, you're even greedier than I am. Do you know how much Dawn 1.0 costs to produce per unit?"

"Material cost is within 10 Huaxia Yuan. The technology is priceless!" Toni's calm eyes couldn't hide his immense enthusiasm.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, "I also agree with Toni's suggestion."

"I also think what Toni said makes sense. This price isn't expensive," Zhao Wanyu also nodded, supporting Toni's pricing.

Sun Zhongyong felt his mouth go dry. He unscrewed a bottle of water and gulped down more than half of it...

After a moment of thought, Chen Mengchuan nodded, "Then let's set the price according to Toni's suggestion! After production volume and pricing, the last thing is the market plan for Dawn 1.0. Achen can help a lot, but I know nothing about the advertising industry. What do you all think? Any suggestions?" Chen Mengchuan asked politely.

Everyone fell into thought.

Zhao Wanyu picked up the Dawn 1.0 in her hand and said with a smile, "I do have some ideas."

"We can record some short videos and have Achen widely distribute them on Huaxia's short video apps. At the same time, we can open online real-time sales, listing the Dawn 1.0 produced every day, or even every hour, for sale online with visible inventory data. What do you think?"

"Hunger marketing? That's a good idea!" Sun Zhongyong's eyes lit up!

"Low cost, fast, feasible!" Toni pushed up his glasses and said.

The others also nodded in agreement.

Chen Mengchuan nodded as well and spoke to a display screen next to them, "Achen, your Mother Zhao needs a website to sell Dawn 1.0 online in real-time. Can you help her build one?"

"Of course. I'm very happy to help Mother Zhao. The website has already been built. Mother Zhao, which one do you like?" Four websites lit up on the screen, all looking very concise and clear.

Zhao Wanyu was stunned. That was so fast! But she immediately praised, "Achenzi, you're amazing! Let's open the one in the top right corner to take a look."

"Alright." The website interface in the upper right corner was enlarged. Its colors and structure were very simple, detailing the uses of Dawn 1.0, its functional parameters, and a clear price.

"Well done, Achen," Zhao Wanyu couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mother Zhao. This isn't difficult for me," Achen replied.

"What do you all think? This website?" Zhao Wanyu asked the others.

Everyone nodded, unanimously agreeing!

"Brother Sun, Brother Xu, the next step is to arrange production. Order as many raw materials as needed for the factory to maximize production. Also, arrange for logistics companies to receive shipments, find the best ones, and negotiate the price. Soon, we'll have a lot of orders..." Chen Mengchuan said slowly.
