Chapter 1025 New Project Development

In fact, with the current development of domestic electronic technology, it was difficult to produce domestic Walkmans until the early 90s, so Duan Yun was not in a hurry to start the domestic Walkman project so quickly.

But Duan Yun has his own ideas. The main reason is that these retired professors in the research institute are getting older and older, and their physical strength and energy are getting worse. Before there are no new top electronic technology experts to join, Duan Yun must try his best to enable these old professors to design more products and technologies.

Another point is that from the very beginning, Duan Yun did not plan to cultivate the technology of domestic tape recorders for a long time, because the technology of domestic tape recorders is already very mature, and the competition is relatively high. There has been a vicious competition of mutual price reduction, so he continued to develop tape recorder products. There is not much room for profit.

The technical threshold for Walkmans is relatively high. Imported Japanese Walkmans are very expensive and unacceptable to most ordinary consumers in China. Domestic Walkmans are still blank. So if Duan Yun can be the first to develop a domestically produced Walkman If the Walkman is used, then there will be strong competitiveness and profit margins, and it may even become a monopoly of domestic Walkmans.

"I need some time..." Zhao Xuewu said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Zhao Xuewu is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Even though Duan Yun didn't set a deadline for him, he still feels a lot of pressure.

Although Duan Yun has provided the drawings, the real challenge is how to produce parts that conform to Duan Yun's drawings, including motors, cores, magnetic heads and other components, all of which require technical optimization and equipment modification. In the short term Difficult to achieve within.

"How about before the National Day?" Duan Yun asked.

It is now mid-June, and there are still more than three months before the National Day. Duan Yun still needs to set aside time to improve and test the product, and strive to launch it on the market during the Spring Festival.

"I can't guarantee this. You should be able to make samples before the National Day, but there are still many things to do if you want to finalize the mass production of the product." Zhao Xuewu said after thinking for a while.

Zhao Xuewu never makes promises easily. Good products need time to polish, because once the product is finalized and mass-produced, the company will lose a lot of money and reputation if there is a problem, so he needs as long as possible to improve the product. Improve and polish it to perfection.

"Okay, you can make a sample first, and you can directly make a list of the funds and equipment you need, and just hand it over to me later." Duan Yun nodded and said.

"Okay." At this moment, Zhao Xuewu finally put away the file bag containing the drawings.

"I'll wait for your good news." After Duan Yun finished speaking, he got up and left Zhao Xuewu's office.

After leaving the office building of the R&D center, Duan Yun returned to the office building of the electronics factory.

This time he came to the office of his wife Cheng Qingyan.

"It's rare, I hardly see you wandering around the factory at ordinary times, why are you here today?" Seeing her husband walk into her office, Cheng Qingyan asked with a smile.

During this period of time, Duan Yun really rarely came to the electronics factory, and spent most of his time in some other holding electronics factories, organizing technicians to help those small electronics factories install equipment, and various entertainments from morning to night. The management work on the factory side is ignored and completely handed over to his wife Cheng Qingyan, while she is a hands-off shopkeeper.

In the past, Cheng Qingyan was a little dissatisfied with her husband's behavior. In his opinion, Duan Yun was completely out of business all day long, but now, Cheng Qingyan took it very seriously, and even didn't take it seriously.

Because for Cheng Qingyan, the sales volume of the colorful series of tape recorders is very hot now, she no longer has the pressure to repay the loan, and the company is developing better and better, so even if her husband is a little "not doing business", it is irrelevant, even for Duan Yun. For a period of time, Cheng Qingyan turned a blind eye to investing in other private electronics factories, which cost a lot of money.

"Just now I went to the R&D center to discuss something with Master Zhao." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then asked, "How is the matter with our electronics manufacturers association recently?"

"At present, I have received 35 applications from dealers to join the membership, and there are more than a dozen dealers who need some time to consider, but I guess they should respond soon..." Cheng Qingyan looked relaxed, and then said: "Submit now The more than 30 distributors who applied for membership cover 12 provinces across the country. Some distributors are still very powerful. After becoming the exclusive distributor of our electronics factory, it will definitely greatly promote the sales of our new products. I plan to It is time to convene these members for a meeting to discuss the specific rules and regulations of the Electronic Chamber of Commerce and its future development.”

"My wife is still capable!" Duan Yun said approvingly.

"I've always wanted to know how many private electronics factories in Shenzhen you plan to invest in? It's been nearly a month, and we've spent nearly 200 million yuan in money, people and equipment. I feel that the money is enough to buy them. It is." Cheng Qingyan said.

"You haven't figured out one thing until now. In fact, it is more cost-effective to buy shares in these companies than to buy these small electronics factories." Duan Yun shook his head lightly, and then said: "Currently, I have bought shares in 7 electronics factories. The owners of these companies came to Shenzhen relatively early, they all have their own sales channels, and they know more contacts in Shenzhen than we do, so don’t just focus on the total asset value of their factories, If it's just for the equipment in their small factories, it's definitely not worth spending so much money. If I bought their business wholly, whether these people are willing to sell is another matter. Even if they are willing to sell, I will We can’t allocate so much time, energy and manpower to manage these enterprises. We don’t have so many management talents. We provide equipment and technology, and reserve half of the shares for those bosses so that they can manage the enterprise well, ensure the quality and quantity of raw materials we purchase, and form Our own supply chain, this is our real purpose..."

"You always do things differently from others..." Cheng Qingyan shook her head with a smile, and continued, "There are a lot of electronics factories here in Shenzhen. In fact, I think that as long as you have funds, purchasing electronic components is not a problem at all. I don't think it is necessary to use shares. build their own supply chain in a way.”

"But what if the manufacturers in Shenzhen don't want to sell us raw materials?" Duan Yun asked.

"How is this possible? Who doesn't want to earn money?" Cheng Qingyan's face flashed with disapproval.

"Don't you believe it, the so-called big tree attracts the wind, in fact, we have been targeted by people a long time ago, don't look at the calm now, someone will trip us up one day, and the electronics guild in Shenzhen will be established soon, wait until At that time, a real storm will come." Duan Yun said, looking directly at his wife.
