Chapter 949: No Profit

Chapter 949: No Profit
'Exchange of benefits'?

Xiao Ya paused and said softly, "Little brat, there is no need to do this. We don't actually need the resources here."

As for the production base, when the core components are kept outside, it is essentially just a factory for processing incoming materials.

What's more, in Guizhou Province, the supporting facilities for the electronics industry are almost non-existent.

To put it bluntly, even for peripherals such as keyboards and mice, there are no supply chain companies here, and they have to be shipped in from other provinces.

Therefore, what the Yanhuang Group can gain here is nothing more than labor, electricity costs and land.

Local governments have no say over labor costs and market pricing.

The electricity price in Guizhou Province, which has both water and fire, is one cent lower per kilowatt-hour than the national average, which is indeed a huge resource advantage.

But this has little to do with the Yanhuang Group, and PC assembly plants are not high-energy-consuming enterprises.

As for the land, especially industrial land, all are sold at half the price and the price is extremely low, so you can't save much money.

The Yanhuang Group is not involved in real estate. Even if it wanted to, it would not do it in an economically underdeveloped area like Guizhou Province.

So Xiao Ya had no idea what Qing Yun was trying to do and what he could exchange for it.

Guizhou Province is such a poor place, how much oil can be produced from its bones?

Xiao Ya thought that it was not worthwhile to try to take advantage of small gains here and damage the little kid's reputation for no reason.

Qing Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He gently rubbed the ear that Xiao Ya had pulled and said with an exaggerated expression,

"Sister Xiaoya, am I really that narrow-minded? How could I bully fellow ethnic minorities? Who do you think I am?"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ya became even more furious. She crossed her arms over her chest, interrogating him.
"Then tell me what you are up to today. Don't play dumb with me. I hate people beating around the bush."

Facing Xiao Ya's questioning, Qing Yun just smiled and shook his head, looking mysterious.

"The Buddha said it cannot be explained. It cannot be explained. When the time comes, you will naturally know it."

In fact, due to some force majeure factors, he has to take over this project. This is the premise.

At this moment, he had figured out that his trip to Guizhou Province had been plotted from the very beginning.

He was ready to admit defeat, but when the time came, he realized his own misconceptions.

It was also a flash of inspiration that came to me after listening to Cao Chunqiu’s statement about Guizhou Province’s advantages yesterday.

Why did he always think that the production base in Bicheng, Guizhou Province could not be expanded after its production capacity reached 6000 units per day?

It is because Guizhou Province is too poor, and the production capacity that is released now will definitely be idle in the future.

Then why did he think that micro hard drives were destined to be obsolete products that would only last a few years?
The reason is that firstly, 3MB is enough for MP512 and can hold hundreds of songs.

Second, MP3, which later became popular after MP4, has a cheaper flash memory solution.

To put it bluntly, the price of products using micro hard drives, whether it is MP3 or MP4, cannot be lower than 2000 yuan.

Because micro hard drives are not cheap in themselves, their high prices limit their competitiveness in the market and they have no price advantage at all.

Third, because of the high technology involved in micro hard disks, which involve very sophisticated mechanical and electronic technology, they are destined to be very "delicate" electronic products. If they are slightly bumped or scratched, the micro hard disk will be scrapped.

The only electronic product on the market that uses micro hard drives on a large scale is Apple's iPod.

Apple's label, its product tone and the psychological tolerance of market consumers can keep the price of an MP3 or MP4 firmly at 2000 yuan or even 3000 yuan.

So it can play with micro hard drives measured in GB.

What about other manufacturers?
此刻的Mp3,600元左右的128MB是主流,900-1200元左右的256MB是高端。

why?
It actually has little to do with the development of storage technology, because their brand can't support higher prices.

No one is willing to spend 2000 yuan to buy MP3 players from Fantasy, Aigo, Onda, or Chaohua.

But if it's Apple, they will buy it.

2000 yuan is a huge gap for domestic consumers. Although they know that the storage capacity of MP2000 players above 3 yuan is calculated in GB, and may be as high as 10GB or 20GB, they will not accept any other brands except Apple and iRiver.

Because in the minds of consumers, other brands are not worth that price.

The reason for buying an Apple iPod, in addition to its functionality, is that while other brands all use the same old model design, Apple's appearance is synonymous with "design art" and is enough to lead the trend.

In order to justify the price and make its price more convincing, Apple can only pile up components that are new and cutting-edge enough.

So, Apple will use micro hard drives.

Moreover, there is always a phenomenon in the domestic market, that is, a rush to enter.

When manufacturers see which product has the most lucrative profits, they will rush in and start production.

Now is the time for MP3 manufacturers to increase their production capacity, and the decisive battle will be in 2004.

In the decisive battle, the prices of goods continue to fall, and in the next few months, the price of MP3 will be halved again and enter the death range of 200-500 yuan.

How can an MP3 player in this price range use a micro hard drive?

This was the fundamental reason why Qing Yun didn't want to intervene before.

He has no profit.

Originally, Qing Yun thought that the micro hard disk was unprofitable, but when he changed his mindset, he saw hope. His original idea was to skip the traditional mechanical hard disk and wait until the price of the storage unit dropped to a relatively reasonable level due to the improvement of technology, and then directly focus on the solid-state hard disk.

That is the development path of Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. At worst, we can directly invest in the team of Zhao Weiguo and Chen Nanxiang.

But his view has changed now.

It is true that mechanical hard drives such as micro hard drives will be replaced by solid-state drives in the future.

However, mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives are not completely different. Their interface specification definitions, functions, and usage methods are exactly the same as those of solid-state drives.

To take a step back, you can accumulate experience in advance.

Of course, the main business logic is that since Apple is ready to grab the iPhone, why should it keep the iPod touch, which only has the calling function removed, for Apple?

Moreover, he can completely change the order of these two products.

He promised VIA Wang Xuehong that Yanhuang Group would not sell mobile phones in China within five years.

However, consumers put a communication shell produced in Huaqiangbei on the Yanhuang Pod Touch and turned the Yanhuang Pod into a mobile phone...

What does it have to do with him if these things come from the imaginations of ordinary people?

As long as his mobile phone operating system iterates fast enough and enters the smartphone era earlier than Android, he can even skip the painful brand upgrade stage and directly appear as a high-end phone without worrying about the brand image of Yanhuang.

Yun Di happily imagined how to circumvent the promise he had to make in order to obtain the CDMA license, and his eyebrows danced along.

Xiao Ya hated him so much, but there was nothing she could do about it. Although she was indeed curious, she also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Qin Manyan and Su Caiwei are both like this. They will never ask questions about things that the little kids don't want to talk about.

Xiao Ya sighed helplessly, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me! What's the big deal! Hey! What are you eating?"

As she spoke, she looked out the window, wanting to see if there was any store nearby where she could get her fix.

She said she was very hungry now!
Can eat a whole cow.

Qing Yun, who wanted to feed her beef, shrugged and said, "Just bear with it for a while. Let's go back to the hotel and have something to eat in the hotel restaurant. Xiao Li should still be hungry."

Hearing this, Xiao Ya looked at her watch. It was almost half past one.

She looked up at him with a strange expression, "Xiao Zhang should be able to find food by herself, right? Can you tell her that we are going back?"

It wasn't about competing for favor. The main reason why Xiao Ya wanted to dine alone with the little brat was that she felt that any normal person would find food for themselves when they were hungry.

These were all agreed upon last night. Today he appeared as a member of the research team of the promotion group, not as the chairman of the Yanhuang Group, so it would not be appropriate to bring Zhang Li with him.

That's why she encouraged Zhang Li to fight for her own happiness last night.

When they came out, Zhang Li was still sleeping and did not leave any message asking her to wait for lunch at noon.

As a general rule, a working meal is inevitable after the investigation.

Could it be that Zhang Li had foresight and knew that their talks had broken down?

Unless this guy informed Zhang Li himself.

But obviously, this is impossible.

From the moment they set out until now, Qing Yun had never left her sight.

She had never seen him take out his cell phone, nor had she seen him give instructions for security or anything.

Hearing this, Qing Yun showed a resolute smile on her face, "Don't worry, she won't eat by herself if I don't say anything."

After hearing this, Xiao Ya couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Are you trying to show off your family throne in front of her?
Only Zhang Li was completely taken advantage of by this guy!

Sister Xiaoya, feeling sour in her heart, said disapprovingly, "Xiao Zhang, that little greedy cat, can't help herself. She's the most active one when it comes to eating snacks in the company."

When talking about this, Xiao Ya felt depressed.

It has been almost two months since I came to Yanhuang Group, and I have gained five kilograms!
What a devilish place this is!
And all this is because of those little girls who go to the snack cabinet to eat snacks whenever they have nothing to do.

The most outrageous one is Zhang Li!

When that little bitch eats snacks, it seems more like she is just tasting the flavor.

Like a greedy little cat, she eats snacks all the time. However, her eating speed is like that of a kitten, so she can't gain weight even if she eats snacks every day.

"You don't know, every time snack time comes, she is always the first one to rush to the snack cabinet."

Xiao Ya shook her head as she spoke, looking like she couldn't do anything to Zhang Li, "That's why I don't believe it. Xiao Zhang must have eaten it."

As Qingyun listened to Sister Xiaoya's complaints, the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

He held up a finger and shook it, "If I say no then it won't happen. She must be waiting for us."

At this point, he paused and explained the reason, "Because she knows that if I don't go back for dinner, I will tell her before 12 o'clock at the latest."
