(III) main business models

1. Procurement mode

The company formulates a specific purchase plan according to the sales order and production plan, calculates the specific purchase quantity in combination with the existing inventory, purchase cycle, in transit time and other factors of main raw materials, and ensures a certain safety inventory. For the procurement of main raw materials, the company has established a stable raw material supply channel, formed a long-term and stable strategic partnership with major suppliers, and implemented procurement according to the formulated procurement plan; For the purchase of other raw materials, the company usually selects 2-3 qualified suppliers, establishes multiple supply channels, determines the suppliers after inquiry, and purchases and stores them in time. For Japanese suppliers, the company mainly purchases directly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Japan Jiangfeng, and Japan Jiangfeng purchases high-purity metal raw materials from Mitsubishi Chemical's comprehensive trading agency.

2. Production mode

As most of the end users of the company are world-class chip manufacturing enterprises, and each customer has unique technical characteristics and quality requirements, the company adopts a customized production mode according to the personalized needs of customers. The products developed and produced are different in material, composition, shape, size, performance parameters and many other aspects. The company's production has the characteristics of "multi variety and small batch". In the early stage of product R & D and design, the company should invest a lot of energy in communicating technology, quality and performance with end customers. When the products pass the customer evaluation, the production department will formulate the production plan according to the order after receiving the customer order from the sales department, and implement the production mode of "production based on sales".

The company has mastered the core technology in the production of high-purity metals and sputtering targets, formed a complete business process including grain orientation control, material welding, precision processing, product testing, cleaning and packaging, and independently organized production and implemented flexible production management through rational allocation of machinery and equipment and production resources.

3. Sales model

As the downstream customers such as VLSI, flat panel display and Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) battery have strict requirements on the product quality and performance index of sputtering target, there is a strict supplier and product certification mechanism in the high-purity sputtering target industry. After the initial contact with potential customers, the company needs to go through the certification procedures such as supplier preliminary evaluation, product quotation, sample testing, small batch trial, stability testing, etc. before it can become a qualified supplier and supply goods in batches.

The company's sales model with customers includes direct selling and agency sales model. Under the direct selling mode, after the company and its specific products have passed the customer certification and evaluation, the customer will place monthly or quarterly orders to the company, and the company will deliver goods to the customer according to the agreed delivery date. The agency mode of the company refers to the mode that the Japanese end customers of the company purchase products from the company through well-known companies such as the comprehensive trading company under Mitsubishi Chemical. This mode is more common in Japanese manufacturing enterprises. Its business process is that the final customer first signs a purchase contract with the comprehensive trading company, and then the comprehensive trading company signs a contract with the company. The company delivers goods to the warehouse designated by the comprehensive trading company according to the contract requirements, and the comprehensive trading company pays the goods to the company. After the establishment of Jiangfeng, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, the Japanese end customers of the company can also purchase directly from the company through Jiangfeng, Japan.

The current business model adopted by the company is determined according to the raw material supply of target products, production process and the market competition pattern of the industry in which the company is located. There is no significant change in the reporting period. During the reporting period, the company's main business has been focused on the R & D, production and sales of high-purity sputtering targets. It is expected that the company's business model will not change significantly in the future.
