Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1082 Weighing the pros and cons
If Cheng Qingyan could understand Duan Yun's donation of 800 million to the city government, then Duan Yun's sudden proposal to transfer the recorder micro-motor technology to Shenzhen Electronics Group was absolutely unacceptable to Cheng Qingyan.

Business competition is cruel, especially the core technology of some hot-selling products, each manufacturer will keep it strictly confidential. The products of their factory will soon become unsalable, and eventually gradually go bankrupt. This is all predictable.

Moreover, Shenzhen Electronics Group has always been the number one competitor of Tianyin Electronics Factory. Especially in November last year, they introduced an advanced tape recorder production line from Japan's Sanyo Electronics Group. Partial forces overwhelm the momentum of Tianyin Electronics Factory, but because the core technology is not up to standard, the key components can only be imported, and there is no advantage in price, so it is not as hot as the Duanyun Electronics Factory's colorful recorder.

And once Shenzhen Electronics Group has mastered the core technology of Tianyin Electronics Factory's recorder micro-motor, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to Tianyin Electronics Factory, and the balance of competition will be deflected. This is absolutely unacceptable to Cheng Qingyan.

"Wait a moment..." Duan Yun replied casually.

"I have something I want to tell you right now." Cheng Qingyan said to Duan Yun with a calm face, no longer caring about the surprised gazes of the people at the same table.

"Everyone wait a moment." Seeing this, Duan Yun smiled and said something to everyone, then got up and left the dining table with his wife.

After walking out of the restaurant, the two stopped in an empty corner.

"Are you crazy? The recorder micro-motor technology is the core technology of our factory, and you want to transfer it to our biggest competitor in Shenzhen. If they also produce a single-motor-driven dual-card recorder, plus they themselves There are relatively cheap internal supply channels for electronic raw materials, and now the advertisements are so aggressive, aren't you afraid that they will snatch all our tape recorder orders?" Cheng Qingyan was a little emotional when she said these words, and her chest heaved slightly.

"I know this……"

"Since you know why you said those things to Ma Fuyuan?"

"That's because I need a lot of foreign exchange more than this technology." Duan Yun gently brushed the white hair on his wife's forehead with his hand, and then said: "Our sales of tape recorders in January have begun to decline, right?"

"It's just dropped a little, but there are still a lot of orders..."

"Now the domestic tape recorder market has begun to saturate, and many imitations of our factory's colorful tape recorders have appeared on the market. In the future, there will only be more and more imitations. We used to sell mainly to members of the chamber of commerce in the factory. One set It only earns 50 yuan, and the profit is already very thin. If it is squeezed by imitation products, it will become more and more difficult to sell in the future." Duan Yun said.

"Don't our company have a legal department now? We can directly sue those manufacturers who imitate our products." Cheng Qingyan bit her lip and said.

Cheng Qingyan knew that what her husband said was indeed true. She is now in charge of the chamber of commerce in the factory, and some members of the chamber of commerce have reported to them that there are a large number of imitation multi-color tape recorders in the local market. Some even have the same casing, but the quality is quite low. The cheapest electronic components and raw materials are used, the sound quality is poor and not durable, but because the price is very cheap, in some places it is even higher than their genuine sales.

"Lawsuit?" Duan Yun heard a flash of disdain on his face, and continued: "Our country doesn't even have a patent law, what can you sue? Besides, those who are capable of imitating our tape recorders are all state-owned enterprises. The relationship with the local government is very good. How do we go to the factory to collect evidence? Even if we have conclusive information and can sue, the entire set of legal procedures will take a year and a half at the fastest. I’ve already run out of money, and if there’s still a second and final trial, it’ll take another year or two, and I’ll pay you tens of thousands of yuan if I die, do you think it’s a good deal?”

"That can't let them take advantage of it for nothing!" When Cheng Qingyan said this, she obviously didn't have much confidence.

At present, domestic enterprises do not have much awareness of patents. Although the country has promulgated patent laws since last year, in fact, the relevant patent laws are not perfect and there are many loopholes. I don't know anything, so it is very difficult to protect the patent rights of my company's products through legal means.

"I told you a long time ago that electronic products are fast-moving consumer goods. The most effective way to prevent infringing imitations on the market is to continuously develop new products so that infringing manufacturers can never keep up with our factory's product upgrades. Speed, that’s how high-tech companies operate.”

"But I just don't want to transfer our factory's technology to Shenzhen Electronics Group. They treated our factory too badly before..." Cheng Qingyan still said a little angrily.

"If Ma Fuyuan didn't have the tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange, the devil would care about him!" Duan Yun curled his lips, and then said: "Didn't I tell you before? The Walkman in our factory will be put into production in the next year." , the profit of a walkman is higher than that of several tape recorders. Such good technical equipment in our factory must be used in products with higher profits. In addition, I plan to start developing karaoke in the next step, so I must have a lot of foreign exchange Introducing Japanese production lines and equipment, exchanging our soon-to-be-eliminated technology for a large amount of foreign exchange, this is also for the long-term interests of our factory..."

"Okay." Cheng Qingyan nodded.

Hearing what Duan Yun said, her mood immediately calmed down. After all, what Duan Yun said was very reasonable. If the new product Walkman can become a hit in China, the profit will indeed be much higher than that of the colorful tape recorder.

"By the way, what is that karaoke you're talking about?" Cheng Qingyan asked curiously again.

"It's actually a video recorder for singing. Later, I'll have someone buy one from Hong Kong and bring it back for you to experience. I think you'll fall in love with this product." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "You have to believe Me, if the deal between me and Ma Fuyuan can be completed this time, then Shenzhen Electronics Group can only follow our factory to drink soup..."
