Chapter 1715: The West Does Not Brighten The East Is Bright

At the beginning of April, Duan Yun and his party returned to China by plane.

Shenzhen in April can be said to be the warmest and most comfortable period of the year, but for Duan Yun, his heart is not at all relaxed.

Although they spent a lot of money on this trip to the United States, they still couldn't find a suitable partner in the United States. Because they couldn't agree on the price, Duan Yun didn't get any orders.

In fact, facing such a situation, Duan Yun is also psychologically prepared, because it is indeed very difficult to open up the US market. The US is currently the largest consumer market in the world. Correspondingly, the commercial competition there is also very cruel. Electronic products In this area, Europe and Japan have their own advantages in terms of technology and price, especially Japanese electronic products, which can be said to beat the world. It is conceivable that Duan Yun wants to compete with Japanese multinational manufacturers in this market. of.

The other most important point is that although VCD products are very cost-effective, they have not crushed and surpassed VCRs in terms of playback quality, and VCRs have been popular in the United States for more than ten years, and the related video tapes are quite rich in content and very easy access, and VCD discs have not yet entered the US market, this is the key to the difficulty of expanding the US market.

Nevertheless, in Duan Yun's opinion, VCD still has its own advantages, the biggest advantage of which is its low price.

If VCDs and discs are exported to the US market, the price is at least half or even 2/3 cheaper than Japanese VCRs. This is a very big price advantage. In addition, VCDs also have their own strengths in terms of expanding functions.

For example, in terms of karaoke, if the video recorder wants to realize the karaoke function, sometimes it needs to rewind when selecting, which will cause great damage to the machine and the video tape, and it also needs to wait, but VCD can be easily selected with only a remote control. Music, and in terms of sound quality, it is also a grade higher than that of video recorders.

It is precisely because of this that after Duan Yun returned to China this time, he immediately organized a meeting with the relevant engineers of the R&D center to discuss the development of a home theater with VCD as the main equipment.

Relying on the technical reserves of producing subwoofer audio and karaoke equipment in the past, the development of VCD home theater is basically no difficulty for Tianyin Group. Minor changes were made to the VCD, and a set of external audio equipment was added.

For the rest of the time, Duan Yun only needs to wait for the effect of foreign advertisements to unfold, and wait for sincere American distributors to come to their door.

What also makes Duan Yun happy is that although VCD has encountered some difficulties in the development of the United States, orders in China are flying in like snowflakes.

Half of the first batch of 68000 VCDs has been delivered. With the good feedback from consumers and the continuous fermentation of advertising effects, hundreds of distributors began to call the headquarters to request additional orders. In just one week, Tianyin Group Received 127000 VCD orders.

Duan Yun had known for a long time that VCD products would be popular in China, but he did not expect that sales would grow so fast that the newly expanded production line could not meet the production capacity at all, which forced Duan Yun to start building a new production line.

Although the performance of VCD is higher than that of video recorders, the internal structure is actually much simpler than that of video recorders, and the technical difficulty of production is not great. Therefore, Duan Yun intends to outsource part of the assembly work of VCD to other companies.

Every new product of Tianyin Group can support many local private and even state-owned enterprises in Shenzhen. What Duan Yun needs to do is to produce some core components with the most technical difficulty. You can hand it over to companies you have worked with.

After Duan Yun announced that he planned to outsource the assembly of new products, many small private enterprise owners in Shenzhen Shangbu Industrial Zone began to line up to invite Duan Yun to the banquet that afternoon, hoping that Tianyin Group could give them a bowl of food. .

Among the owners of these private enterprises, many of them started to cooperate with Tianyin Group from the repeater and learning machines. The outsourcing of these two products has also made them a lot of business. In their eyes, Duan Yun is The cash cow in their eyes, even if they can't eat meat with Tianyin Group, they can definitely eat soup.

That night, Duan Yun was invited to the dinner in the luxury private room of Xi’an Hotel in Shenzhen. When he appeared at the door of the private room, the bosses of more than a dozen private enterprises inside immediately stood up with smiles on their faces and greeted him warmly. .

Now Duan Yun’s status is not the same as it was a few years ago. His status in the Shenzhen business circle is second only to Ma Fuyuan of SEG Group in name, but in fact, for the bosses of private enterprises in Shenzhen, Duan Yun is The leader of the Shenzhen business community, his Tianyin Group is the largest private electronics company in the country, and he is also the vice president of the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce for Small and Medium Enterprises. Many private enterprises cannot be said to be completely, but most of the orders come from Tianyin Group In this sense, Duan Yun can also be regarded as their parents.

"Mr. Duan, long time no see, please sit down!" Xiao Qiang, the general manager of Shenzhen Xinwang Electronics Factory, is the host today, and he is also one of the first few business owners of Tianyin Group.

In addition to Xiao Qiang, Zhou Jianglong from Longhua Electronics Factory and He Shufen from Shangxing Transformer Factory were also present. These people can be regarded as the first group of private enterprise bosses Duan Yun met after he first came to Shenzhen.

In fact, if it weren't for their acquaintances, Duan Yun would not have come to the banquet at all. After all, with his current status, ordinary private business owners are not qualified to invite him.

Moreover, compared with the past, now Xiao Qiang and others are taking advantage of Tianyin Group's development dividends, and their business is getting bigger and bigger. Thinking back to Xiao Qiang's circuit board factory, there were four small workshops with only a dozen workers, and the annual output value was no more than 4 workers. Tens of thousands of yuan, but now it has developed into one of the largest circuit board factories in Shenzhen, with total assets exceeding tens of millions, and He Shufen's transformer is currently the best developed, and its assets have also changed from hundreds of thousands to the current one. tens of millions.

It can be said that whether it is Xiao Qiang or He Shufen, they have benefited from the reform and opening up and the generous policy dividends of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. They can be regarded as a group of people standing on the cusp of the times. people".

Even though Xiao Qiang and others are big bosses in the eyes of outsiders, compared with Duan Yun, their net worth is still not worth mentioning. In addition, from an emotional point of view, Duan Yun has always been their nobleman And the boss, so after seeing Duan Yun, they all showed extra respect.
