Chapter 513: Chapter 313 Apply for Key Extension for a Month (First Update Request for Subscription)_1

"Principal Ding, but the current daily production of our medical robots is just too low, far from meeting the demands of orders," said An Yujia.

After reporting the order volume of the medical robots to Principal Ding, she discussed the issue of daily production capacity.

The demand for 5000 medical robots only includes those required by the central hospitals in domestic provincial capitals.

Moreover, a provincial capital city has many more hospitals than just the central hospital.

Just take Mist City for example, in addition to the Mist City Central Hospital, there are also Southwest Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Mist City Medical University, Second Affiliated Hospital, Mist City People’s Hospital, and so on.

All of these are large and powerful public hospitals, not to mention some well-known private hospitals.

In other words, the current order of 5000 units is limited by Feiyue Group’s production capacity.

There are tens of thousands of orders that Feiyue Group has not yet accepted. The reason is simply that the current production rate can’t keep up.

"Principal Ding, I have checked the relevant data. There are currently over 1 million medical and health institutions in our country. If each institution has an average of one medical robot, that would be 1 million units, even though most of these 1 million medical and health institutions are community clinics, but there are also a large number of public and private hospitals, the number of medical robots they need is far more than just one," said An Yujia.

An Yujia immediately briefed Principal Ding on the data she had learned.

The reason she told this to Principal Ding was to tell him that the production of medical robots needs to be increased.

Currently, the only production line located within the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University obviously can’t meet the huge market demand.

"So, Miss An, you’re suggesting that we expand our production line and build a factory, right?" Ding Yue asked.

"Yes."

An Yujia nodded firmly.

"However, this will require us to build a factory. But the land currently in my hands is allotted for education and cannot be used to build a large-scale factory."

Ding Yue agreed with An Yujia’s suggestion.

That is, to establish their own production factory to increase the production of medical robots.

Once this mechanical manufacturing factory is established, it will not be limited to producing only medical robots. When Mist City Arts and Science University has future results in the research and development of similar mechanical products that need to be commercialized, this factory will also be useful.

For example, Ding Xiaoyou’s Graphene Mechanical Peeling Preparation Machine project, once completed, will require the mass production of graphene, which will require machines to do the peeling preparation. The required machines can be produced in this proposed factory.

This way, the factory suggested by An Yujia can now come into play.

"Principal Ding, I checked the area around Mist City Arts and Science University. To the south of University Town, there are actually many various factory zones. We do not necessarily need to purchase our own commercial land to establish a factory area."

An Yujia took out her mobile phone, opened the map and said: "In Mist City, this large area should be occupied by many small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises."

An Yujia projected the map on her phone onto the office projection screen, and circled an area on the map.

Ding Yue looked up.

The area indicated by An Yujia was indeed not far from his own Mist City Arts and Science University.

Mist City Arts and Science University is located on the western side of University Town, a very remote place. A few kilometers south of this area, a large area is filled with various small and medium-sized factories of all types.

This factory area stretches for twenty to thirty kilometers, extending parallel to the bottom of Mist City.

It should not be difficult to establish a mechanical manufacturing factory belonging to Feiyue Group in such an area.

Of course, this presupposes that there is money.

Interestingly, what Ding Yue lacks the least, is money.

"The land in this area is not expensive." After seeing the map indicated by An Yujia, a smile appeared at the corner of Ding Yue’s mouth.

The area where these small and medium-sized factories are located is not expensive to purchase for building a factory. Ding Yue can even buy some other factories that are not performing well and integrate them to expand his own mechanical manufacturing plant.

With the future development of Mist City Arts and Science University, Feiyue Group will increasingly operate products in the field of mechanical manufacturing.

So Ding Yue thinks An Yujia’s suggestion to establish their own mechanical manufacturing plant is very forward-looking.

Ding Yue had considered this before, but because he had so many things to deal with every day, when he got busy, he’d forget about it.

Today, An Yujia reminds him of it.

"Principal Ding, I think if we build a factory for the production of medical robots, Mist City’s relevant departments will definitely be very supportive. Therefore, acquiring land should not be too difficult."

An Yujia analyzed:"Moreover, I can handle this matter. After all, it’s commercial land needed for a company of Feiyue Group, not educational land."

Indeed.

This land was acquired to build the Feiyue Group’s machinery manufacturing factory, a business activity. Ding Yue had told An Yujia that he would only look after the construction and development of Mist City Arts and Science University. As for other business activities related to the Feiyue Group, they were all left to An Yujia to handle.

"Well, you’ve worked hard."

Ding Yue nodded.

An Yujia smiled and said: "Principal Ding, this is my duty."

An Yujia actually enjoyed this kind of working mode. She only had to provide her suggestions to Principal Ding. Once he agreed, she could carry out the tasks without taking into consideration any other factors.

"If we have our own machinery manufacturing plant, the production of health-care robots will massively increase. So, the transportation of goods will also need to keep up with the pace."

Ding Yue instructed.

"All right, I will ask Zhu Fei and Liu Yue to actively expand the operational capacity of Feiyue Logistics to coordinate well with the machinery manufacturing factory." An Yujia nodded.

For Principal Ding’s instructions and reminders, An Yujia would always take it seriously to ensure their completion.

Meanwhile, as Principal Ding and An Yujia were talking, Wen Ruohan was taking note of some important information.

Although Wen Ruohan was just Principal Ding’s secretary, and the business affairs of Feiyue Group didn’t concern him, noting down these details would be helpful for her to remind Principal Ding if he ever forgot anything.

Wen Ruohan had made a habit of taking down notes regarding the things that Principal Ding needed to attend to and the itinerary of Mist City Arts and Science University. After all, Principal Ding had too many tasks on his plate, and sometimes he would forget or mix up things.

This was where Wen Ruohan, the secretary, came into play.

"By the way, Principal Ding, the screening of ’Super Combat Team’ will end on 31st October. Considering the good box office performance of our animated film ’Super Combat Team’, would you like to apply for a key to extend its screening?"

An Yujia asked Principal Ding about some decisions related to the Feiyue Group.

For major matters, An Yujia would usually ask for Ding Yue’s opinion. ’Super Combat Team’ had brought over 1.3 billion income to the Feiyue Group. Being such a huge project, An Yujia could not make decisions involving it all by herself.

If they applied for an extended screening, they could gain another month’s screening time, thereby continuing to receive some box office income.

This was typical for hot-selling films.

Upon hearing An Yujia’s words, Ding Yue thought for a while and asked: "If we apply for an extended screening, wouldn’t the box office settlement be extended too?"

"Yes, generally that’s how it is. However, if we extend the screening by a month, we could make tens of millions or even up to 100 million yuan at the box office." An Yujia answered.

"All right then, if there is a need to apply for an extended screening, do it." Ding Yue agreed.

Case in point, applying for an extended screening of a month for a hit film is a common practice. ’Super Combat Team’, produced by Mist City Arts and Science University, was unarguably a hot release, so it was only reasonable to apply for an extended screening.

Moreover, an extra month of screening could add tens of millions or even up to 100 million yuan to the box office earnings. If there were no good films being released during that period, the audience, with nothing else to watch, may choose to re-watch ’Super Combat Team’. This could potentially allow them to earn even more within the extended screening period.

Although the amount might be small, every bit added up.

Ding Yue was not being picky.

However, Ding Yue originally planned to hold a celebration for the staff of Feiyue Animation Studio led by Xu Jiuge, following the end of the screening of ’Super Combat Team’, where he would give them the promised 3% net profit bonus.

If the screening was extended by a month, it would mean that the settlement of the box-office earnings would also take a corresponding amount of time.

Usually, the settlement of a film’s box office takings would take some time, typically about three months. If the distributor and the producer were not the same party, the time taken could be longer.

So, a film production team typically needed to wait for 3 to 6 months to receive the money from the box office sales.

Thankfully, for ’Super Combat Team’ produced by Mist City Arts and Science University, both the distributor and the producer were Feiyue Group, so they could get the share of the box office earnings as short as three months.

If an extended screening was requested, Ding Yue would have to wait for another month to see the money.

That is to say, the over one billion yuan net box office earnings would probably not be received this year. It was uncertain whether the amount would be received before the end of this year.

However, having thought about it, Ding Yue decided to give a bonus to the staff of Feiyue Animation Studio at the end of October, to motivate them by letting them see the bonus money earlier.

"Miss An, calculate the box office and our earnings data at the end of the month. I will then distribute the promised bonus to Xu Jiuge and the others." Ding Yue reminded An Yujia of another matter.

"Okay, but if we apply for an extended screening of a month, how should we calculate the total box office? Should we include the total box office of the month in the calculation?"

"For the extended screening of a month, let’s include 100 million yuan in the total box office, and then perform the calculations." After mulling it over, Ding Yue concluded that the staff of Feiyue Animation Studios should not be short-changed.

Even though the extended screening period of a month might only bring 100 million yuan to the box office, distributing this amount would still be worth millions of yuan.

Three percent of the millions of yuan would amount to hundreds of thousands or even up to a million yuan. When this share was distributed among the staff of Feiyue Animation, each of them would receive several thousand yuan more.
