Chapter 1053 Strategic Value

Wang Shi's speed was faster than Duan Yun expected.

It took less than three days for Duan Yun to receive a call from Wang Shi, informing him that the introduction of Japanese magnetic head production lines was already underway.

Arriving at Wang Shi's office by car, Wang Shi handed Duan Yun a batch of materials. A total of three Japanese manufacturers are willing to sell second-hand production lines in the form of compensation trade. The materials introduce in detail the technical details and prices of these second-hand production lines, and also Specific terms of compensation trade are listed.

Generally speaking, the repayment period of compensation trade is relatively long, generally around 3 to 5 years, and some as long as 10 years. However, the three Japanese manufacturers willing to provide second-hand production lines set the trade repayment period at three years. .

After receiving the materials, Duan Yun immediately returned to the technology research and development center, and organized experts to analyze and evaluate the materials.

Now the staff of the product technology research and development center of the electronics factory has expanded to 65 people. In addition to 5 retired professors, 17 are college students from Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering who came to the factory for internship, and the rest are secondary school and high school students. , Basically all have experience as technicians in large state-owned factories.

Looking at the whole of Shenzhen, Duan Yun's current technology research and development team is already luxurious. Although it is not as good as that of joint ventures and foreign-funded enterprises, it has surpassed most of the large state-owned enterprises in Shenzhen, and it is even more outstanding among private enterprises. After all, In most of the private enterprises, the highest educated students are only technical secondary school students, but the number is very small, and the technicians are mainly high school students. In terms of talent education composition, the gap with Duan Yun's electronics factory is really too big .

"Manager Duan, I feel that the magnetic head production line provided by this Preh company is the best. In terms of technical parameters, the magnetic head production line provided by their factory should belong to the third generation of magnetic heads in Japan, while the other two belong to the second generation. Although The quotation is cheaper, but the technology of these two magnetic head production lines is not advanced in China, so I think Preh is the most sincere." Several retired professors carefully analyzed the drawings brought by Duan Yun Finally, Zhao Xuewu was the first to express his opinion.

"But now the magnetic head production line of the Japanese manufacturer has been updated to the fifth generation. This third-generation production line is a production line with relatively backward technology in the world. I think we should spend more money, or at least buy a fourth-generation production line." Otherwise, this kind of production line will be eliminated within a few years in China." Yang Xiuchun said.

As the only female professor in the entire product technology research and development center, Yang Xiuchun is rigorous and meticulous in her work. Compared with Professor Zhao Xuewu, Yang Xiuchun also attaches great importance to the development of electronic products in the domestic and international markets, and is a very business-minded expert. .

"Even if we have money, we can't buy the most advanced foreign production lines. It is impossible for them to sell us the most profitable production lines." Duan Yun shook his head slightly, and then said: "The fifth-generation magnetic head production line is hard to imagine. Don't think about it, there are still many manufacturers in Japan that use the fourth-generation magnetic head production line, so it is impossible for you to buy the fourth-generation production line, because the magnetic heads produced by this production line can still earn huge profits in Japan, so Now the only possibility to start is the third-generation production line."

"That's a pity..." Yang Xiuchun said with some disappointment.

"It is impossible to buy advanced technology. In fact, the Japanese tape recorder production line we introduced before is also outdated equipment. However, through the collective efforts of our team, this production line has been upgraded. So this time I introduced magnetic heads. The production line is only to solve the problem of availability first. After the introduction of the production line, we still need to learn how to operate it, master the introduced technology as soon as possible, and then upgrade and improve it step by step. All in all, we still have to take it slowly ..." Duan Yun said seriously.

For Duan Yun, the introduction of this production line has three important meanings. The first one is to improve its own raw material supply chain. At present, Tianyin Audio Recorder Factory still buys the magnetic heads of colorful tape recorders from other manufacturers. The price is not cheap and the quality is not good. It is very general, and these enterprises are all subordinate enterprises of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. At present, domestic private enterprises have not yet produced tape recorder heads, because the investment involved is relatively large, the technical threshold is high, and the market share has been firmly occupied by state-owned enterprises. Therefore, once these state-owned enterprises cut off supply to their own factories, it will be difficult for Duan Yun to find other alternative channels in a short time.

Article 2 is whether it is the tape recorder currently produced by Duanyun Electronics Factory, or the Walkman video recorder and other equipment to be developed in the future, the magnetic head of the movement is the key core component, so in order to avoid being stuck in the future and to make your products have technology In terms of performance, Duan Yun must have its own head production line. It can be said that this has already involved Duan Yun's future strategic issues.

As for the last item, Duan Yun's ultimate goal is still to hope that his products can be exported to earn foreign exchange and go international. However, if he wants to become a multinational electronics company, he must have self-developed advanced core technology.

Talking about the plan to become a multinational advanced enterprise, in Duan Yun's view, good production of tape recorders and walkmans basically cannot surpass Japanese manufacturers, because Japan has reached the limit in analog circuit products, and Duan Yun wants to realize the corner The only way to overtake is to produce VCDs and DVDs. Only in the era of digital electronic products can overtaking on curves be possible.

But it is very difficult to achieve such a goal. On the one hand, Duan Yun needs to continuously strengthen the strength of his scientific research team, and on the other hand, he needs to accumulate a large amount of technical funds. indispensable.

"Since this is the case, I think it is better to introduce the production line of Purui, and the other two manufacturers are not sincere, so there is no need to think about it." Yang Xiuchun said.

"I think so too."

"The second-generation production line is not considered advanced in China, and it is useless to introduce it. Professor Yang is right."

After Yang Xiuchun finished speaking, several other people also agreed.

"Then the matter of introducing the production line is settled." Duan Yun nodded, and then said: "I will sign a contract with the Japanese side as soon as possible. After the contract is signed, we still need to send some technicians to Japan for training. , who of you wants to go to Japan?"

As soon as Duan Yun finished speaking, several retired professors present looked at each other in blank dismay.

Going abroad was a very tempting thing for any Chinese at that time. For those who were engaged in technology, they also hoped to go abroad to see some advanced technologies.
