Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2108 Pre-sale
"This time I brought you a batch of samples, a total of 50 units. You can try it on the spot." As if seeing the doubts of the reporters in the audience, Duan Yun winked at Li Yun. The next moment, Li Yun The prototype machine, which had already been prepared, was distributed to the reporters who lived in the front row.

The reporters who got the MP3 sample machine showed surprise on their faces. After listening to Duan Yun's product introduction, they had already developed a strong interest in this player. Naturally, it is a very good thing.

Due to the issue of music copyright, Duan Yun's built-in songs in the MP3 are all domestic songs. For the selection of other songs, Duan Yun did not choose pop music, but chose Wang Luobin's album.

In his previous life, Duan Yun especially liked to listen to Wang Luobin's songs. Wang Luobin's name is Luobin, and he used to be named Ai Yinedin. He is a Han nationality, born in BJ, and a Chinese folk musician.

In 1938, he adapted the XJ folk song "The Girl of Dabancheng" in Lanzhou and became popular. After that, he formed an indissoluble bond with western folk songs and dedicated his life to the creation and dissemination of western folk songs. He is known as the "father of Northwest folk songs" ", "King of Western Songs".

1988年9月荣获中国人民解放军胜利功勋荣誉奖章。1992年荣获文化部、中国唱片总公司颁发的《在那遥远的地方》“金唱片特别创作奖”。1993年《半个月亮爬上来》被评为20世纪华人音乐经典作品。

The first song played by the MP3 player was "The Girl in Daban City" adapted by Wang Luobin, and the lead singer was the famous XJ singer Kerim.

Good music can transcend nationalities. Even in the United States, where pop music is the hottest, hearing this kind of fast-paced and exotic-style XJ songs made these American journalists immediately immersed in the music.

The sound quality of the MP3 player is indeed very good. In addition, as Duan Yun said, this machine is quite easy to operate. Many reporters did not read the manual, but simply fiddled with it twice, and they have figured out the basics of this machine. The operation, the high-fidelity stereo headphones, really let these American reporters feel the sound effect like a live performance.

After many reporters listened to a few songs, their faces were full of excitement. The reporters in the audience began to whisper to each other, talking about this product, and the reporters who hadn’t got the sample machine also wanted to try it out. It seems a bit noisy, but judging from their looks and performance, they are obviously very satisfied with this product.

"Everyone, please be quiet." After a while, feeling that most of the reporters on the scene had already experienced the MP3 player, Duan Yun immediately signaled the audience to be quiet, and then said: "I don't have the heart to disturb everyone enjoying the music. But our press conference will continue, so please forgive me."

"Mr. Duan, I would like to ask, have you started selling this product?" At this moment, a female reporter in the audience suddenly asked.

"I'm very sorry. At present, we have just made a sample of this player. It is expected that it will not be sold publicly until the second half of this year at the earliest." Duan Yun glanced at the female reporter, and then said: "At present, we have There are only this batch of sample machines, and the cost of each one is about 650 US dollars. If you really like it, I can sell it to you at the cost price.”

In fact, Duan Yun brought more than 200 sample MP3 players from China this time. He originally wanted to take these machines to the professional media in the United States for product evaluation. I donated a lot of products, but I didn't get a good return, so this time I saw that someone liked this product, so I offered to sell it to him instead of giving it away in vain.

People often don't cherish free things, so this also led to the loss of this kind of DVD. Most of the American media reporters didn't help Tianyin Group to promote its products, so Duan Yun didn't plan to give them free things this time.

In addition, Duan Yun also wants to test how many people will pay for this MP3 player. After all, for ordinary people, liking a product is one thing, but asking him to pay for it is another something happened.

If no one at the scene is willing to pay for it, it means that this product is not strong enough to attract consumers in the United States. After Duan Yun returns to China, he still needs to polish and upgrade this product. The problem is pricing. The price of US$650 is already very high for portable players, because currently the best-selling MD player produced by Sony in the United States is only around US$400. , and the current monthly income of ordinary Americans is around 2000-3000 US dollars, allowing them to spend 1/5 or even 1/3 of their monthly income to buy such a Chinese product.

"Excuse me...how should I pay? Or who should I give the money to?" Almost without thinking, the female reporter in the audience immediately asked like Duan Yun.

"After the press conference is over, you can consult our relevant staff." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Of course, this product has not yet been officially released on the market, and your purchase behavior can only be regarded as a It is a kind of "compensated gift", but if there are some quality problems with the product, you can contact our Tianyin Group head office in the United States at any time, and they will be responsible for the follow-up processing of this product."

Duan Yun knows that the laws in the United States are very strict. Any product that goes on the market needs to be inspected by the relevant department. It is precisely because of this that Duan Yun mentioned the method of "compensated gift" in order to avoid related legal responsibilities.

"Okay." To Duan Yun's surprise, the reporter agreed without hesitation.

"I also like this product very much, please sell this one to me."

"I want to buy it too."

Suddenly, dozens of reporters in the audience stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to buy to Duan Yun.

Even some journalists in the back row who have not tried the product yet expressed their desire to buy it. Obviously, the new MP3 player has indeed aroused their great interest.

Almost within a few minutes, the hundreds of machines that Duan Yun brought were all booked. As for those who did not get the machines, they all asked Duan Yun if they still had them in stock. Spend money to buy.

Seeing this scene, Duan Yun on the stage and Li Yun off the stage looked at each other, and then smiled.

Obviously, this MP3 player conference was very successful, but what Duan Yun didn't expect, what happened later was far beyond his imagination...
