Chapter 321 Rich People Pursue Difference

Although Manager Qin wanted to ask Yao Yuanda to take care of him when he came up, he also showed some ability, at least he was very considerate in the arrangements for basic necessities of life.

For example, because he was afraid of the difference in climate between the north and the south, he thoughtfully prepared two sets of new clothes for Mr. Yao. Knowing that he didn't like crowds, he even arranged a car for him to move about on his own.

So the next day, Sun Jun took people to investigate, and Xiao Mo drove to Zhuhai first.

The distance between the two places is more than 100 kilometers, and they can be reached in the blink of an eye. There are also many OEM factories in Zhuhai, or the entire Guangdong Province is densely covered with OEM factories.

Meizu is located in an industrial park in Gongbei, just across the river from Macau.

The company is a duplex two-story building. Bai Yongxiang led a few people to wait downstairs early. Seeing the car coming, he hurried forward, wow, that is a very, very handsome guy!
"Boss Yao!"

"Sorry, we're a bit late, it's the first time we met, but I'm a familiar person, so you don't mind being called Lao Bai?"

"I don't mind, I often hear that you are young and promising, but seeing it with my own eyes, I still feel ashamed."

Bai Yongxiang told the truth, this special girl is too young, I heard that she is only 24 years old?
Hang on to one!
A few people entered the building, and first took a general look around. There are 60 Meizu people, oh no, there are 59 left after Huang Zhang left, nearly half of them are technicians, and they are all piled up in the small building.

There is a small research and development workshop, which is quite shabby.

Meizu is known as the Three Musketeers, Bai Yongxiang, Li Nan, and Yang Yan.It will take a few years for the other two to appear. In the early days, Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang relied on one design and one development.

In addition to technology, Bai Yongxiang has good administrative skills, and he has dug a lot of talents for Meizu.

"E2 is off the shelves in the mall. We are improving some functions and preparing to launch an enhanced version of E2 at the end of the year. After all, the sales of this product are very good. If it is sold normally, it can be sold until next year."

"Well, that's the right idea. Eat more fish and cut more leeks. This is the core philosophy of the group."

Yao Yuan was quite satisfied, and asked, "What about the new products for next year?"

"Uh……"

Bai Yongxiang was a little embarrassed, and said: "Mr. Liu said before leaving that the headquarters will guide the development of new products. We have been waiting for news."

Ah!
I blame me for this, I was so busy that I forgot to guide.

A few people came to the office, and when the door was closed, Yao Yuan didn't just sit on the boss's chair, but sat on the sofa, chatted about business secrets, and asked, "What chip are you using now?"

"Sigmatel in the United States has sold 2 units of E30, all of which are Sigmatel. We are now the world's largest customer, and they even sent us a commemorative badge."

30 is the world's largest customer?

Oh, that's right, the Chinese market is so big that it's enough to swallow a little bit of it casually.

"SIGMATEL is low in price, and its performance is relatively perfect. It is a chip commonly used in middle and low-end mp3 players. South Korea's TELECHIP has better price and performance, and belongs to the mid-range level.

Philips' SAA775X has the highest price, and of course the best performance, which can only be seen in high-end products. "

Bai Yongxiang gave a brief introduction, and then Mr. Yao said: "Then use Philips for new products, and if they are expensive, don't use inferior ones.

Next year's new product you design yourself, just show me. "

"..."

Bai Yongxiang looked sad, what kind of stuff is this, he doesn't know how to do it, it's too casual.As a result, people said again: "Next year is just a transitional product, what you really want to do is this..."

Yao Yuan pulled a piece of paper and drew an mp3 with drawing skills that were not much better than a stick figure.Bai Yongxiang took a look, it was a rectangular product with a screen on the left and buttons on the right.

"This thing is taken like this..."

Yao Yuan took out the mobile phone to demonstrate, and said: "Hold it horizontally, operate it with the right hand, the screen should be maximized, and the functions should be as complete as possible, including pictures, songs, broadcasts, videos, e-books, etc.

Then there is the button, which should be made to slide up and down... Hey, I don't understand technology, and I'm asking you for a demand. "

Ok!

Bai Yongxiang smiled wryly, and said: "In this case, the cost will be too high."

"If the cost is high, the price will be raised."

"But the current trend is to lower prices. It's too expensive and no one buys it."

"No no, you are wrong. Rich people always like differences. Have you ever bought a car?"

"I bought it."

"Is there a low, medium, and top configuration for you to choose when buying a car? Then why can't MP3 have a configuration level? For example, the lowest is 512M, Philips chips, Samsung's screen and memory chips, and ordinary headphones are included.

It is equipped with 1G, Philips chip, Samsung screen and storage, and comes with high-quality earphones + self-adhesive film.

Top configuration 4G, Philips chip, Toshiba screen and storage, exclusive body color, high-quality earphones + self-contained film + up to 18 frames of avi video playback, etc.!

Do you think anyone will buy it? "

Hiss!
Bai Yongxiang took a sip of the Pearl River water. He had heard that Yao was always a marketing genius, and it was better to meet him than to be famous!

"If you don't have enough technology, you can recruit people. If you have any difficulties, report to me directly. I just ask you, can you do it?"

"It can be done! As long as you support me, I will definitely make this product!"

"That's good……"

Yao Yuan paused for a moment, but still asked, "What do you think of the mp3 market now?"

"The fire is cooking oil, and there are more and more manufacturers, but the profits are getting less and less."

"I think so too, so mp3 won't live well for a few years. We don't want to win by quantity. We need to produce a product that can sell classic products for two years. This way, we can move forward and backward freely. I have the idea of ​​changing to mobile phones in the future. You Be mentally prepared.

In short, at this stage, I have only one request for you.

In the MP3 market, only three products are allowed: foreign products, domestic products, and Meizu! "

…………

Yao Yuan came early in the morning, had a meal at noon, and returned in the evening.

The big boss showed his face once in the subsidiary company, and when he was leaving, Bai Yongxiang saw him off downstairs as usual, watching the car slowly leave, his thoughts were very complicated.

Huang Zhang is a very strong guy, and it turned out that Mr. Yao is even worse, and has an unreasonable but extremely powerful self-confidence.

Of course, the design idea he mentioned is very good. Bai Yongxiang believes that it will definitely become popular, and then he thinks about other things, such as changing to a mobile phone in the future...

A MP3 player turned into a mobile phone?
I don't dare to think about it.

Yao Yuan completed a simple investigation of Meizu, and felt that Bai Yongxiang was at least very stable and capable for the time being.

The product he mentioned is actually the miniplayer launched by Meizu in 06, known as the M6, and it is one of the most successful products.

Relying on the M6, Meizu's sales reached 10 billion that year!The cost is high, and the estimated profit is not large, but the key is that the brand has been launched, laying the foundation for the subsequent mobile phone.

Now that Yao Yuan takes over M6, if the sales volume does not double, he will be regarded as his grandson.

As for the phone...

He thought about it, and it was too difficult to do anything else, so he should grab the appearance patent first, so as not to be sued by Apple. At that time, Meizu launched the M8 mobile phone, which was sued by Apple for plagiarism.

But a few years later, Apple filed a lawsuit with Samsung, and took M8 as an independent innovative product to prove it.

This is what Commander Yao said: The beauty of copyright is that when I don't need to protect my rights, you can plagiarize; when I need to protect my rights, you are a pirate.
