Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 432 A man is a boy until he dies

In the blink of an eye, it was May. On the morning of NO.19, Zheng Nanling called Lu Yiming.

"Mr. Lu, I have some good news for you. The music player you want has been made. When do you have time to come and have a look?"

When Lu Yiming heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "I'll go there now."

There is no doubt that Lu Yiming, like Zheng Nanling, is also a person who loves music.In the time and space he lived in, whether it was on a computer or a smartphone, the music player was ready to use, which was very convenient.In these days, it is not easy to listen to a song.

Half an hour later, Lu Yiming arrived at Yixun Technology, used the music player made by Zheng Nanling, and said with satisfaction: "It's very good, basically meeting my minimum requirements. It's easier to use than the one Cheng Xiaohua made before. a lot of."

Regarding this, Lu Yiming could only sigh with emotion in his heart, it really was the Nanling hero who made thousands of quiet listens by himself.

It’s been a while since I came to Yixun Technology, and Zheng Nanling also knows that Cheng Xiaohua is the big guy who made Tianyin MP3 player, now Lu Yiming said that his software is better than Cheng Xiaohua’s, Zheng Nanling feels embarrassed Yes, and said modestly: "I heard that there are first-order skills and specializations. I can't do hardware."

Lu Yiming encouraged: "Well, everyone should perform their duties. What do you plan to call this player?"

Zheng Nanling thought for a while and said, "I've been listening to "Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques" recently. What I want to make is a software that can listen to songs quietly. How about calling this software Qianqian Jingting?"

This was originally the name of this software, of course Lu Yiming would not object.

"Well, yes, this is the 1.0 version of Qianqian Jingting. But only the Chinese version is not enough. You should develop an English version as soon as possible, and even not only the English version, but also arrange for multiple languages."

Zheng Nanling asked puzzledly, "Why are you developing those things now?"

In his opinion, if Qianqian Jingting can serve a population of more than one billion in the country, it is already a great success, and it is meaningless to make a foreign language version now.

However, he had no idea that Lu Yiming's ambitions were not limited to this.

"This software is not only available in China, my goal is to sell Tianyin series MP3s all over the world."

Regarding this, Zheng Nanling was skeptical, and didn't think Lu Yiming could do it.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, but that the current domestic Internet environment is like this. Many technologies were first born in the beautiful country, and then the Internet practitioners in the Xia country followed the template and copied them directly.

So doing original work by yourself and promoting products to the whole world is something that any programmer with a normal mind dare not think about. Who starts dreaming in broad daylight?

However, seeing Lu Yiming's proud and ambitious face, Zheng Nanling still didn't attack Lu Yiming.

After all, he is a high school student, so idealism is good and understandable.

After leaving Yixun Technology, Lu Yiming went to Song Honglin again and began to arrange work, asking him to start mass-producing Tianyin MP3.

Song Honglin was a little hesitant, and said: "Mr. Lu, it's like this. This is a new product that has not been tested by the market. It will squeeze the company's liquidity by directly stocking up on a large number of products. The risk is very high. In case the goods cannot be sold, There is even the possibility of breaking the capital chain.”

Lu Yiming listened carefully to Song Honglin's opinion, and said, "Well, you are quite right to be worried. But you just do what I say. I have considered everything you are worried about, and there is no problem."

Regarding Song Honglin's confusion and doubts, Lu Yiming did not explain too much.

Because now only he knows how much money the MP3 product can make if it is done well!
Relying on the existence of the iPod, which amazed the vast majority of electronic product enthusiasts at the beginning of this century, Apple has earned at least 700 billion US dollars.

And from 3000 to [-], iPod shipments exceeded [-] million units!
Before the iPhone, MacBook, iPad and other products made Apple the darling of consumer electronics all over the world, the iPod opened up a dominant market situation for this future technology giant earlier.

Although 700 billion U.S. dollars was not such a remarkable figure for Apple, which was in full swing later.

In 780, the annual revenue of the iPhone reached [-] billion US dollars, far exceeding the total profit generated by the iPod for Apple. .

However, in the sixth year after the birth of the iPod, this boxy music player accounted for 40.00% of Apple's revenue. In No. 11, it allowed Apple to own more than 3% of the global MP70.00 player market. market share.

Regardless of its ability to attract money or its market position, the iPod is undoubtedly a successful product.

What Lu Yiming has to do now is to be the first to cut the beard, and before Apple reacts, he will be the first to launch the Tianyin series MP3 to seize market share.

Take the way of Apple, so that Apple has nowhere to go.

But in the eyes of other management of Ming Yuan Technology, Lu Yiming's move was too radical, and it could even be said to be a gambler's behavior. How could anyone just stud before the cards were dealt?

This is outrageous too!

So as soon as Lu Yiming left, several executives found Song Honglin.

"Mr. Song, what is Mr. Lu thinking? The USB drive is selling well now, why open two more production lines to produce the MP or 3?"

"That is to say, isn't that something that can be used to listen to music? It can be priced at 1999, 2000 yuan a set, who can afford it? Buying a Sony Walkman is not so expensive!"

Obviously, everyone has great opinions. Although they are not shareholders, Mingyuan Technology's operating conditions are linked to their salaries. Naturally, no one wants Lu Yiming to ruin the company.

Song Honglin got dizzy from the quarrel, and asked speechlessly: "You have opinions, why didn't you raise them when Mr. Kai Lu was here just now?"

"We dare not."

"Yes, who in the company dares to offend Mr. Lu?"

Although Zheng Baishun's matter has passed for a while, Lu Yiming has long been famous. How can anyone in Mingyuan Technology dare to stroke the tiger's beard?

Song Honglin was immediately laughed at by them: "Good guy, you don't dare to offend Mr. Lu, so do I?"

"Forget it, I'll go find Mr. Zheng and see if Mr. Zheng has anything to say."

After get off work, Song Honglin came to visit.

Zheng Youyuan, who was hospitalized for observation for a period of time before, moved back home after his health improved.

It happened that Zheng Fengting was at home that day, and after seeing Song Honglin, she took the initiative to say hello: "Uncle Song, good afternoon."

Song Honglin smiled and said, "Xiaoting, good afternoon. I heard Mr. Zheng is back, how is he doing now?"

Zheng Fengting said: "Yes, I'm back. The doctor told me to rest more and not to work too hard, but my dad's appetite has improved a lot these days, and he is more energetic."

"That's good."

Zheng Fengting said: "My dad is reading in the study now, let me take you there."

"it is good."

In the study room, Song Honglin saw Zheng Youyuan, should he say it or not, Zheng Youyuan's condition looks much worse now than before he got sick.

After all, at this age, there is a little turmoil, and that is not a small movement.

"Boss Zheng."

Zheng Youyuan looked up and smiled immediately: "A Lin, long time no see, sit down."

Song Honglin sat opposite Zheng Youyuan, and asked with concern: "How do you feel now? There should be nothing serious, right?"

Zheng Youyuan said helplessly: "That's it, I can't die for the time being. How is the company doing recently?"

Song Honglin said: "Since we cooperated with Microsoft, our USB flash drives have been sold overseas, and now we are actively studying the matter of expanding production capacity."

When Zheng Youyuan heard this, he was immediately relieved, and said with a smile, "Good news. Our country's own technology products can be sold to Europe and the United States. This was something that was unimaginable in our era."

Song Honglin said: "Mr. Zheng, I didn't come here today to announce the good news to you. You should know that Mr. Lu has developed a Tianyin MP3 player, right?"

Zheng Youyuan said: "I know, I heard that it is very convenient to listen to music."

Song Honglin couldn't help complaining: "It's really convenient. After all, we don't need floppy disks or tapes. The key problem now is that Mr. Lu wants us to move out the production capacity of USB disks, and use the new factory building to produce Tianyin MP3."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

This is what Zheng Youyuan did not expect.

Song Honglin couldn't help pouring out his bitterness: "Mr. Lu's ability is beyond doubt, but his courage is also different from ordinary people. At present, the company has launched several projects at the same time. In addition to the USB flash drive, the technology research and development department It is said that they are still working on a new gadget called a solid-state drive, which costs money like water."

"That's fine. Now we have to forcefully launch the Tianyin MP3 project. The retail price of nearly 2000 yuan has not yet passed the test of the market. Success or failure depends on God's will. The risk is too great. I can't bear it." Ah, Mr. Zheng."

"Mr. Zheng, the entire Youyuan Technology, I guess Mr. Lu will only listen to you alone. Why don't you talk to Mr. Lu? I don't even know that such a crazy new project is very important for Youyuan Technology. Fortune is curse."

In terms of career, Song Honglin still has a little bit of pursuit, so he doesn't want to become the "king of subjugation" of Mingyuan Technology.

What's more, it's not Song Honglin's idea alone. Few people in the company don't panic.

Zheng Youyuan thought about Song Honglin's words carefully, and then said: "There is no doubt that Mr. Lu's brain is flexible. After all, he is a young man with active thinking. But according to what you said about him, his decision is indeed a bit reckless. . Let me call and ask."

Lu Yiming was busy for a while. He just returned to the villa and planned to take a hot bath when he received a call from Zheng Youyuan.

"Mr. Zheng! How is it? Are you feeling better? Are you planning to go back to work in the company?"

Zheng Youyuan laughed loudly, and said, "I'm an old bone, I'm afraid I have to stay at home for a while. What's more, isn't there your Sea-Dingzhen Needle in charge at the company? I'm very relieved to have you here."

Lu Yiming also laughed, and said, "Seeing how angry you are when you speak, there should be nothing serious."

Zheng Youyuan didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly cut to the point, saying: "Just now Manager Song came to my house to sit down and chat about the company's recent development. I heard that you have created some MP3, how many production lines are you going to build for mass production? "

Lu Yiming said: "Yes, this is a new gadget. Although it is different from the invention of the USB flash drive, there is no similar product in China. Moreover, I have also made a special software adaptation, which is unique in the world. .”

Zheng Youyuan first praised: "Boss Lu always has fantastic ideas."

Then he changed the subject and said, "But is the price of 2000 yuan too expensive? Ordinary people can't afford it. I'm afraid that mass production will cause a backlog. I think it's better not to be too impatient, and ship in small batches first, accepting What about market testing?"

This question was expected by Lu Yiming. He said: "I am very confident in this product, and the price of 2000 yuan is mainly for the North American market, where the consumption power is still very strong. Our products are not expensive. No worries about selling. And I’m not impatient. Major developed countries in the world are already making virtual music. This is a brand new track. If we don’t do it together now, we will definitely be left behind in the future .And copyright is an exclusive thing. If I have it, you don’t. After they have searched for the music copyright, we can’t do it even if we want to. Now the situation waits for no one, and I must act as soon as possible.”

Apple will officially enter the market in [-], and now I am afraid that product development has already begun.

If you don't plan ahead and build a virtual music mall, what will you use to compete with Apple?

That's why Lu Yiming urged Song Honglin to quickly increase the production capacity of new products in such a hurry, in order to open up the situation in the beautiful country as soon as possible and grab a wave of first-mover advantages.

"Mr. Zheng, I hope you can fully support my actions. Mingyuan Technology can't just become an ordinary commercial company, but should become a great industry leader. Master the right to speak in the industry."

"Mr. Zheng, I will be in charge of planning the company's development direction in the future, and I hope to hand over the specific management and production to you for execution. In this way, our two swords will be combined, and Mingyuan Technology will surely reach an unprecedented peak."

Lu Yiming has always attached great importance to the cooperation with Zheng Youyuan, because it is too difficult to build a company like Apple with his own strength.

It is true that Lu Yiming is a reborn person, but he only knows the concept of many products, and it is not a simple matter to implement the concept into practice.

You must know that even Apple, behind its brilliance, is not all the credit of Gangzhu Qiao alone. For example, Cook, the master of supply chain management, is the right-hand man of Gangzhu Qiao.

And Zheng Youyuan, who has rich experience in the production and processing of electronic products and his contacts behind him, is the best partner for cooperation.

This is why Lu Yiming must cooperate with the Zheng family. If he wants to be successful, he must learn to integrate resources and form cliques. Going it alone is a dead end.

When Zheng Youyuan heard Lu Yiming say that he wanted to build Mingyuan Technology into a leading company in the industry, his heart began to surge again.

After all, a man is a teenager until he dies, and it is every teenager's dream to start a great company.
