Countercurrent 1982

After Duan Yun returned to China, domestic public opinion about his trip to the United States had fermented to a very high level.

In fact, by the end of 1999, China and the United States once again ushered in a new honeymoon period. From an international background, the United States had completed its division of labor in high-tech industries, while China ranked behind Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and became a As a global foundry for low value-added goods, it was at this time that China truly became a veritable “world factory.”

The United States, which sits at the top of the global industrial chain pyramid, can easily harvest global wealth every year with its financial weapons and technological patents. In the foreseeable future, it will not see any opponents capable of challenging it. Therefore, at this stage, the United States has China, which helps itself produce a large number of cheap goods, naturally has more "goodwill".

Compared with other Chinese companies, Tianyin Group is indeed extraordinary and even has a certain influence internationally. Logically speaking, Chinese companies like Tianyin Group do not conform to the "division of labor" of the American global industrial chain. Some of the products he produces should originally belong to the United States or the United States, Europe and the United States have gained allies from Japan and South Korea. This is the correct way to divide the "cake". However, so far, Tianyin Group has not been subject to any U.S. sanctions in terms of technology and finance. , which seems a bit unusual.

But in fact, if you look at the global technology industry, the small piece of the high-tech industry pie that Tianyin Group has received is actually not that big. Compared with the profits that European and American countries have gained in the Chinese market, Tianyin Group’s global The profit is still much smaller. Although Tianyin Group has achieved a leading position in the world in some electronic products, it is not enough to threaten the technological hegemony of the United States. Therefore, Tianyin Group can still benefit from the new round of Sino-US honeymoon period. , a safe and sound development.

In addition, over the years, Tianyin Group has cooperated with many American high-tech companies, including IBM, Intel, Western Digital, Texas Instruments, etc., which have achieved mutual benefit and win-win results, and helped them develop the Chinese market faster. With Tianyin The huge public relations expenses the group invests in the United States every year naturally allow him to obtain a certain degree of protection from being targeted and attacked by most American politicians.

In fact, when a company reaches the scale of a multinational enterprise, it will inevitably have to deal with the governments of various countries, and this has become an important issue that all multinational companies must face. Duan Yun relies on his foresight and sensitivity to international politics. Sexuality has been handled quite well and with ease in the past few years.

Duan Yun never nodded when faced with Wall Street capital's request for Tianyin Group to be listed in the United States and take shares, because he knew that once the company had American shareholders, it would likely lead to Tianyin Group being manipulated by foreign capital, and some of them Trade secrets will gradually be mastered by the United States.

Therefore, Duan Yun has been "playing Tai Chi" in the face of American capital. He warmly received them and took them to visit the group company. However, when talking about substantive issues, he always used various excuses.

Faced with Duan Yun's business practices, American capital was helpless. Duan Yun's brilliance was to always whet their appetites so that they could see some hope. But in fact, Duan Yun always kept his mind clear. He would not Let your company be controlled by American capital.

Time soon came to 2000.

On Millennium Night, the whole country celebrated. Tianyin Group spent millions of RMB on a fireworks feast in Shenzhen, which also heralded that Tianyin Group once again ushered in a peak of corporate development.

"Mr. Duan, this is our company's new product MP4 player. It is completely made according to your design ideas. After charging for six hours, it can play video files for two and a half hours. The memory capacity is two gigabytes. In addition to video In addition to files, it is also compatible with the function of playing MP3 files..."

In Duan Yun's office, Han Yongsheng, the head of the electronics department of Tianyin's Shenzhen R&D headquarters, held a palm-sized MP4 sample and placed it respectfully on the desk in front of Duan Yun. "Uh." Duan Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the sample handed over by Han Yongsheng, and he picked up the MP4 and started reading it.

In fact, Duan Yun has always attached great importance to the MP4 product. When he was developing MP3 players a few years ago, he had already initiated product projects and invested a lot of R&D funds.

According to Duan Yun's original imagination, with the strength of Tianyin Group at that time, it would take at least 4 to 5 years to develop an mp6 player with real product quality, that is, it would not be possible until after 2003. .

The reason for such an estimate is that the LCD, memory, battery and other accessory technologies used to make MP4 players at the time were far from meeting the requirements, especially the LCD monitors at the time, which could not meet the volume and power consumption requirements. It is small enough, and other software and electronic components are miniaturized, so Duan Yun estimates that it will be five years before a real MP4 player can be made.

However, the development of Tianyin Group in the following years has actually exceeded Duan Yun's expectations. With the introduction of large amounts of funds and cutting-edge talents at home and abroad, Tianyin Group's technological breakthroughs have finally ushered in a blowout development. Major core technologies have achieved breakthroughs, especially the R&D centers in Shenzhen and Shanghai, which have made a decisive contribution to the success of this MP4 research and development.

For a long time, many people internationally, including domestically, have believed that the Chinese lack the spirit of innovation and are simply unable to seize the forefront of world technology. However, judging from the success of this MP4 research and development, it was the domestic R&D center that made the breakthrough first. , most of the core personnel are domestic, which indirectly shows that Chinese people still have strong scientific and technological innovation capabilities, no worse than foreigners, the premise is that you must give them a good working environment and Salary package.

Holding an MP4 as big as a cigarette box in his hand, Duan Yun felt the heavy weight in it. Just such a small box has experienced the investment of tens of thousands of scientific researchers and hundreds of millions of scientific research funds. To a certain extent, this The world's first MP4 has become a symbol of China's top electronic technology products.

Next, Duan Yun pressed the switch button, and as a burst of soft music played, the MP2.2 with only a 4-inch screen quickly displayed the Tianyin Group's LOGO, and then entered the main menu.

Without Han Yongsheng's introduction, Duan Yun opened the MP4 of an song in the list, and then the mpv of Andy Lau's "Love You for 1 Years" appeared on the screen.

Familiar melody, familiar image.

The clarity and sound quality of the image are somewhat beyond Duan Yun's imagination. Although the image effect is worse than the MP4 image he used for the first time in his previous life, in this era, it can definitely be called a shocking thing. Electronic products...(End of chapter)
