Chapter 1320 Crazy Orders

The founder of the flash memory chip, Fujio Masuoka, may never have imagined that the chip he developed would truly open up the domestic market in China on a large scale, relying on pirated game cassettes.

In the second month after Duan Yun assigned the research and development task, the imitation chip of the 2 chip used to learn the CPU was also successfully trial-produced. The yield rate of this chip based on the 6052-micron process technology is surprisingly high, reaching about 6%. , the cost of each piece is only 99 yuan.

It is absurd that the cost price of the imitation chip developed by Duan Yun is almost the same as the price of the 6052 chip in the Shenzhen electronics market. The price has been doubled at least, so if you can really buy this kind of chip from abroad, it will be cheaper than producing it in your own factory.

However, this does not mean that it is meaningless for Duan Yun to produce chips by himself. On the one hand, it can avoid the limitation of the production capacity of chip factories. The developed products, in the absence of electronic product approval documents and tariff restrictions, Duan Yun's self-produced imitation 6052 chips are still very valuable.

After the Tianyin brand learning machine was successfully developed, Cheng Qingyan also began to release and sell new products.

Within one day, Cheng Qingyan, her assistant and other staff in the office made more than 200 phone calls. Five days later, 5 member dealers from more than 20 provinces across the country gathered in Shenzhen by plane and train to participate in this year's 247nd Chamber of Commerce.

However, when Cheng Qingyan demonstrated the functions of the Tianyin brand learning machine in the company's large conference room, all the dealer members present were deeply shocked.

No one expected that the current R&D speed of Tianyin Electronics is so fast. When developing domestic walkmans and repeaters in the early years, it would take at least half a year to a year to upgrade and debug the production line. However, it took only one and a half months for Tianyin Electronics to produce the finished product, and it has already begun to rely on its holding companies for mass production.

Different from new products such as repeaters, in fact, as early as the mid-80s, there were already smuggled Nintendo red and white machines in China, but the price of this product was very expensive, and one set cost seven to eight hundred yuan. , the cassette also costs more than 200 yuan, and the high price has become the biggest obstacle for this product to enter the Chinese market. After all, this is not a practical household appliance such as a refrigerator, color TV, washing machine, etc., so the Nintendo red and white machine is also a kind of attention in the current domestic market. Popular electronic products, many primary and secondary schools even have red and white machine game booths at the gates, and like arcade halls, they have become the most popular entertainment item for many teenagers.

So unlike the video recorder and repeater released by Tianyin Electronics Factory, no one would question the market potential of this product. Now they are most concerned about the price of this domestic learning machine.

"This is the learning machine developed by Tianyin Electronics. In addition to the functions of 5-stroke practice, computer programming learning, and Chinese character learning, it also has powerful game functions..." At this time, the clothes were bright and beautiful, and he wore a long shawl. Cheng Qingyan, who sent it out, stood at the front desk of the meeting room, holding a game card in her hand and said to everyone: "This is a 4-in-[-] game card produced by our factory, and it uses the advanced storage chip of our Tianyin Electronics Factory. There is a lot of storage content, the operation speed is fast, and most importantly, the cost price is also very reasonable..."

"Mr. Cheng, what is the ex-factory price of our learning machine?" A member exclusive dealer living in the front row couldn't help asking.

"At present, the ex-factory price of our first batch of learning machines is set at 1 yuan, with two game controllers, a learning cassette and a 420-in-4 game cassette..." Cheng Qingyan said to everyone with a smile.

"420 yuan!?"

Hearing this, excitement flashed across the faces of everyone in the audience.

Everyone knew that the learning machine produced by Tianyin Electronics would definitely be cheaper than the original game machine imported from Japan, but no one expected that it would be so cheap.

You must know that the price of a genuine Nintendo red and white machine in China is about 800 yuan, and the price of a cassette is also around 200 yuan. " model, then at least 1 yuan is needed to buy a red and white machine plus two cassettes.

Duan Yun's learning machine only costs 420 yuan in total, and the price is so low that it is far beyond the imagination of these people.

Even in their view, the ex-factory price of this kind of learning machine with learning and game functions is completely acceptable at six to seven hundred yuan. After all, it has the function of learning computers, and there has been an upsurge of learning computers in China. It can be used as a game console, and with the bonus cassette, six or seven hundred yuan is considered cheap.

Moreover, some of these member exclusive dealers present have already bought this kind of game console, and they often buy some original game cartridges, which are expensive and only have one game, so in their opinion, it is only the 4-in-1 game console. The game cassette is already worth 600 yuan.

In fact, when Duan Yun and his wife discussed the factory price of this learning machine, they had a dispute because of different opinions.

In Cheng Qingyan's view, the cost of the learning machine is 180 yuan, and the price of the cassette is 70 yuan, so the cost of the full set of "1+2" ​​has reached 320 yuan, and the price can be set at more than 500 yuan, or even higher. At such a price, it is much cheaper than the smuggled and imported red and white machines. Moreover, this kind of machine has a learning function. Cheng Qingyan has already tasted the sweetness of the repeater before. She knows that as long as the product has something to do with education, it will definitely be more Good sale.

However, Duan Yun has his own ideas. In Duan Yun's view, the ex-factory price of the learning machine can be set very cheap, which is convenient for the rapid promotion of the product nationwide, and Tianyin Group should put the profit point of this product in the The game cassette is convenient, and the price of the cassette can be set higher. After all, a family only needs one game console, but the games on one cassette will soon get tired of playing. The game cards produced by Tianyin Electronics using flash chips are in the It has great advantages in technology. A high-quality 70-in-4 game cassette with a cost of [-] yuan can be sold for about [-] to [-] yuan, so the profit from the sales of the cassette will be far greater than the profit of the learning machine itself.

Sure enough, after hearing Cheng Qingyan's price of 420 yuan as a member of the learning machine, the entire meeting room was boiling, and everyone stepped forward to place an order, and some even wanted to order 20 units at one go...
