I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 134 Layout the next project

Hearing Lin Xiao's question, Yang Guanbin pondered slightly, and then continued:
"The U-disk technology is unique to us now, but after other companies know the direction of the technology, it is actually possible to create it even if they don't get our U-disk for research."

"Before our patent is licensed, similar products will likely appear in the market, so we may face similar competition immediately."

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, Senior Brother Yang has such a consciousness, I feel at ease."

After hearing Yang Guanbin finished speaking, Lin Xiao nodded slightly. The other party still remained sober, and did not lose his mind due to the recent boom in sales.

"It is still right to introduce the USB flash drive to the market so early, because if we don't do it, others will do it. I am definitely not the only one who can think of such a technical route."

Lin Xiao said, thinking of Langke, if he hadn’t been one step ahead, according to the development of the previous life, there would be another company named Langke, which will formally study the U disk at this point in time, and then launch it in the second half of this year. market.

This is also the reason why Lin Xiao was anxious to quickly apply for various patents for the USB flash drive and launch it to the market quickly.

"But as Senior Brother Yang said just now, our patent authorization has not yet come down. Although we have applied for patent protection, it is inevitable that some companies will counterfeit the USB flash drive and launch it into the market."

Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, such things are hard to avoid. For example, Suo Ni, who has repeatedly seen through his plans, embarked on the path of plagiarizing USB flash drives in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao said with a straight face: "Although after the patent authorization is officially obtained, we can file a lawsuit to demand compensation from these companies, but before that, we are still facing the immediate appearance of similar products, even low-priced products. impact situation."

"So, we have to be prepared for the impact on sales and profits in the future."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao admired Yang Guanbin instead. He has rich experience and it is not difficult to see these things clearly, but Lin Xiao can also see so thoroughly, which really surprised him and admired him at the same time.

"So now we have to walk on two legs. On the one hand, in terms of mobile storage, we continue to develop new technologies and new products, accelerate market expansion, and maintain our leading position."

"On the other hand, our products must be more diversified. Brother, do you remember what I said before? Eternal Technology will not only make USB flash drives."

When Lin Xiao said this, he smiled, "In that case, the structure will be too small. We have to prepare to launch more disruptive products in other fields, so that the company can grow bigger and stronger quickly."

Yang Guanbin followed with a smile, "If it is normal, I would suggest making the current USB flash drive more mature before considering other products, even though the USB flash drive may soon face new competitors."

"However, Mr. Lin is young and aggressive, and always has amazing ideas. From this point of view, it is not a bad idea for the company to take care of it."

Speaking of this, Yang Guanbin asked Lin Xiao directly: "Is Mr. Lin already interested in the direction of the product?

Lin Xiao didn't answer directly, but turned to Yang Guanbin and asked: "Senior Brother Yang, what do you think of the new product Mr. Wang and the others are looking for?"

"MP3?" Yang Guanbin asked, recalling the conversation between Lin Xiao and Wang Chuanfu when they met.

"This is a new product. Because of its small size, it is indeed more convenient than a Walkman. Now some companies are deploying this product one after another."

After finishing speaking, Yang Guanbin shook his head and said: "I probably only know this about this product, and I learned a lot from talking with Mr. Wang that day. To be honest, I don't know much about this industry yet."

"Brother Yang might as well take some time to understand." Lin Xiao smiled.

Yang Guanbin knew that Lin Xiao would not be aimless, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

Immediately afterwards, he tentatively asked again: "Lin always wanted to make an MP3 portable music player? I remember you told Mr. Wang that you were not interested in flash-based MP3."

"I'm really not interested in flash-based MP3," Lin Xiao said with a smile, "If we want to do it, we have to make a different MP3 product."

"To share this with Senior Brother Yang today, I want you to know my general strategy for the company's future development. At present, I only have a general idea for MP3, but the conditions are not mature."

Lin Xiao continued: "At this stage, USB flash drives are still our main product."

"We must expand the market share as much as possible. At present, the profit of our U disk is relatively high. Taking advantage of this bonus period to expand the market as much as possible is very important for our company's profitability. As time goes by, the price of flash memory chips will fall. And with the emergence of other competitors, a decline in our earnings is inevitable."

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "However, Brother Yang should also pay attention to MP3. The research and development of this piece is not like U disk. If you decide to do it, the investment of time and money will be relatively large, so you need to plan in advance. The development of MP3 is my responsibility. It may not necessarily occupy the funds of the U disk, but be prepared."

"Okay." Yang Guanbin nodded, indicating that he understood.

After chatting with Yang Guanbin, after the other party went out, Lin Xiao continued to think about this matter.

He is really not interested in the MP3 based on the flash memory chip, because the storage capacity of the flash memory chip is too small at present, 16M, which cannot play a few songs.

Apple launched the ipod in 2001, why was it such an instant hit?

In addition to some good designs, there is another bright spot, which is the use of large-capacity hard disk storage instead of flash memory. The phrase "put 1000 songs in your pocket" has become a very classic advertising slogan.

But to develop MP3 based on hard disk storage is not something that can be done directly after thinking about it, and the current technical team of the company must not be competent.

In addition, a large amount of capital investment is required, which may not be satisfied by the current profits of Eternal Technology alone.

After all, the U disk market has just started. Although the sales have been good recently, the company still needs to spend a lot of money to continue to develop the market, as well as capital turnover for the company's daily production.

That's why he told Yang Guanbin just now that the time is not ripe yet.

After 519, Lin Xiao thought for a while and decided to push back to officially start this matter. After 519, he probably has a lot of funds in his hands.

If it goes well, the establishment of an Internet company and the development of MP3 projects should be able to advance.

After all, it only takes more than half a year, and the peaches listed on China.com can be picked by themselves, which will be enough funds for themselves.

After sitting there thinking, Lin Xiao was also preparing to leave the company and go to the third and fourth classes.

"Ding dong ding dong..."

At this moment, the classic ringtone of the Nokia mobile phone rang.

Lin Xiao picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Ye Keyong from China.com.
