Chapter 1127 Technology Gap

After the commendation conference, Duan Yun did not go to the canteen of the municipal government to participate in the working meal arranged by the municipal government and the subsequent cultural and sports evening, but left directly.

The main reason is that there is no acquaintance who participated in the commendation meeting this time, so it is meaningless to stay here any longer.

After the meeting, Ma Fuyuan and others went to the office cafeteria to eat with other leaders of the group.

"Director Ma, do you think our group company can also produce Walkmans?" At the dinner table, the director of an electronics factory asked Ma Fuyuan.

The booming sales of colorful walkmans in the country are obvious to all, and it has become the new favorite of the domestic electronic product consumer market, with considerable sales and huge profits.

It also focuses on making electronic products, and seeing such a large domestic market cake, no one is jealous.

"You should ask Director Tian about this matter. Their factory's equipment and technology are the strongest in our group company." Ma Fuyuan said with a smile.

"That's right! Director Tian, ​​we can't make much money selling tape recorders now. Since Walkmans are so popular in the market now, and private companies like Duan Yun can make them, why can't we produce this kind of Walkmans?" Listen, less competition and more profit."

"At present, Tianyin Electronics Factory seems to be the only one that produces Walkmans in China. Such a good product market share cannot be monopolized by their own factory. I think if our group makes Walkmans, it must be much better than Tianyin Electronics Factory!"

"That's right, you can't make it cheap, Duan Yun!" The director of a circuit board factory sitting next to Ma Fuyuan was a little agitated. We have also started to develop and produce this kind of Walkman, and today our old buddies are all here, and everyone works together, I don’t believe that I can’t beat Duan Yun’s boy!"

Now the Shenzhen Electronics Group has obviously regarded Duan Yun as the biggest competitor. When Tianyin Electronics Factory is mentioned, everyone speaks with a bit of gunpowder. The main reason is that Duan Yun said at the bus stop last time. Time to speak ill of them.

Moreover, they are still a little unconvinced that a private enterprise like Duan Yun is actually more profitable than a state-owned enterprise. In their view, if the group company can concentrate on producing Walkman products, it will definitely be able to overwhelm them in terms of quality and sales. One of Tianyin Electronics Factory.

"This..." Tian Song felt embarrassed when he heard this.

In fact, Tian Song was really surprised when he first learned that Tianyin Electronics Factory had transformed into Walkman products last month.

Tian Song is no stranger to the Walkman. After all, he is in the field of electronic products and knows a lot about the development of the electronic industry at home and abroad. In his impression, the Walkman can be regarded as a high-end electronic product. Yes, currently only Japan can produce Walkman products in the world, and there is no domestic manufacturer that can imitate them. It can be seen that the technical threshold is still very high.

Especially the key components required for the production of Walkmans, including highly integrated circuits, high-performance micro-motors, high-precision magnetic heads and movements, these are technical thresholds that domestic electronics manufacturers cannot break through.

So when Tian Song learned that Duanyun Electronics Factory had produced a domestic walkman, his first reaction was that it was impossible, and then he immediately got a colorful walkman through other means, and called all the technicians in the factory, Conduct dismantling research and analysis.

And when Tian Song and the technicians in the factory turned on the colorful Walkman, everyone was shocked.

Although there is still a big gap compared with Japan's Sony Walkman, the quality and craftsmanship of this colorful Walkman is indeed very high, because there are not enough integrated chips, they use a double-layer circuit board, and the electronic components are very dense. , but the arrangement and welding are very neat and patchwork, and the heat dissipation of the components is reasonably considered. The whole circuit board does not have the chaotic feeling of the domestic electrical product circuit, but looks very beautiful.

As the so-called layman watches the fun, the expert watches the doorway.

With the strength of Chunmei Electronics Factory, it is not difficult to imitate the double-layer circuit board part of this Walkman, but it is very difficult to produce such high-quality circuit board components as Duanyun Electronics Factory.

The main reason is that Chunmei Electronics Factory does not have a dust-free workshop and plug-in machines. All electronic products in the past were soldered by hand. The precision of manual soldering circuit boards is far from comparable to that of machines, because the electronic components on the circuit boards are relatively dense. , Welding is a big problem. Once workers make mistakes in welding, it is easy to cause a short circuit on the entire circuit board, or even burn out electronic components, which is very difficult in the production process.

In addition, the efficiency of manual soldering is also very low. There are as many as 61 electronic components on a small circuit board of the colorful Walkman. This has also seriously restricted the output and production cost.

In addition to the difficulty of circuit board production, the magnetic heads and movement inside the Tianyin Walkman also shocked the technicians of Chunmei Electronics Factory.

Duan Yun Electronics Factory has a full set of production lines for micro motors, tape recorder heads and movement. The equipment in these production lines were all imported from Japan and remodeled and upgraded by Duan Yun and the technical staff of the R&D center to produce miniature Walkmans. Although the motor, magnetic head and movement are not up to the international advanced level, they are at least the most advanced in China, especially the Duanyun Machinery Processing Factory has two high-precision five-axis lathes and stamping machine tools, and the Walkman produced The magnetic head movement and shell part have high precision and low cost, which are completely higher than similar domestic products.

It was at this moment that Tian Song and the technicians in their factory discovered the huge gap in technology between their Chunmei Electronics Factory and Tianyin Electronics Factory.

So at this time, Tian Song felt very embarrassed when someone suggested that their factory should also switch to the production of Walkmans.

If he says that he can't make Walkman products, it must be a very shameful thing. After all, Chunmei Electronics Factory is currently the dominant player in the domestic tape recorder market, and Tian Song usually brags about it everywhere. If he admits that the technology is not as good as Tianyin If it is an electronics factory, then he will definitely be ridiculed within the group in the future.

But if the Walkman project is launched, it is impossible to break through those technical thresholds in the short term. The cowhide will always be punctured one day, and then it will not only be a matter of embarrassment.

"I think the matter of Chunmei Electronics Factory's transition to R&D and production of Walkmans should be delayed..." Ma Fuyuan, who was sitting opposite, seemed to see Tian Song's thoughts, and he continued: "At present, Chunmei Electronics Factory has just We have achieved good results in the tape recorder market, so we should first consolidate the current achievements of our group, we must make steady progress, step by step..."
