Reborn since 1993

Chapter 687: Forced brain supplement, there are great scholars debating

Duan Yongping looked at the recorder that Chen Mingyong brought over with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw the Shenzhou logo on it, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

After flipping through it, Duan Yongping looked at the product in his hand and asked Chen Mingyong to put a tape in it. During the operation, he asked, "Is this Dongling Hi-Tech's new product?"

"Yes!"

"It is somewhat similar to the previous recorders. Tanglin Hi-Tech has made a lot of improvements. BBK Mall has previously put some brands of miniature recorders on the shelves, but the sales were not ideal!"

Chen Mingyong said that miniature recorders were not rare and had appeared a few years ago. There were also products similar to the Shenzhou repeater, but they did not cause much sensation because... they were too damn expensive!

Those micro-recorders and early repeaters were too expensive, even more expensive than Sony's Walkman, which kept most users out.

In addition, the previous recorder could only record for a few dozen seconds due to its memory size, which was too useless.

If it is expensive and useless, it will naturally not become popular. A product should either be practical or cheat users, but it must give users a sense of user experience, or face!

You have to have one of the two. You can't cut the leeks and fool people at the same time. I'm afraid the buyers will vote with their feet.

A song sounded from the Shenzhou repeater. Duan Yongping listened for a while and then said to his wife Liu Xin, "Go get the Sony Walkman from home!"

Then, Duan Yongping and Chen Mingyong compared the Shenzhou repeater and the Sony Walkman using the same song.

The result is naturally a very obvious difference. The songs played by Sony's Walkman have very faithful sound quality, and even subtle details such as the singer's breathing can be heard.

In comparison, the songs played by the Shenzhou repeater sound a bit "rough" to people in the music industry.

But as a non-music professional, Duan Yongping could also hear the difference in sound quality between the two products, but he did not feel that the Shenzhou repeater was unbearable.

“Even if the sound quality of the Shenzhou repeater is not as good as that of the Sony Walkman, its sound quality has reached the passing level!”

As soon as Duan Yongping finished speaking, Chen Mingyong said, "Dongling Hi-Tech owns Feiyan Technology, and Feiyan Technology's audio technology is one of the best in China."

When people talk about Feiyan Technology, most of the attention is focused on Himalaya Radio, but peers in the electronics industry such as BBK are aware of how strong Feiyan Technology is in the domestic radio and car audio equipment industry.

With Feiyan Technology providing support in audio technology and equipment, even if the sound quality of the Shenzhou repeater is not very good, it is definitely up to standard.

"How much does the Shenzhou repeater cost?" Duan Yongping asked.

"The unit price is 598 yuan!"

When Duan Yongping heard this, he looked at Chen Mingyong and couldn't help but take a breath, "Sony Walkman, the price is more than two thousand yuan!"

The price difference between the two products is nearly four times. With such a price gap, does the sound quality shortcoming of the Shenzhou repeater matter?

As long as it makes a sound, this price is considered a conscience move by Dongling Hi-Tech!

Moreover, most of the audience are non-professionals. They have requirements for sound quality, but they are not demanding.

And is the Shenzhou repeater really useless? Looking at the repeater in my hand, judging from its appearance and workmanship alone, this machine is obviously not a cheap product.

The Shenzhou repeater can be equipped with an STN LCD display and is only sold for 598 yuan. Looking at the domestic and even global electronics industry, only Dongling Hi-Tech can reduce costs to this level by relying on its control over the entire industrial chain.

It also has a large 16M memory, half an hour of recording time, and a six-month warranty and after-sales service. Duan Yongping feels that this machine is the culmination of Dongling Hi-Tech's work, or a naked show of skill!

Even though manufacturers like BBK can make repeaters, Duan Yongping feels that it is very difficult to achieve the level of workmanship like Dongling Hi-Tech and reduce the cost to the level of Shenzhou repeater.

“The Shenzhou repeater is very powerful in learning spoken foreign languages.

You can also listen to music. On the way here, several electronic retail stores and electrical appliance malls have started to run out of stock!

Dongling Hi-Tech's move is really ruthless. It will be on sale on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even if we want to study this machine, we don't have enough manpower!"

Chen Mingyong slapped his thigh and shouted, "The release on the first day of the Lunar New Year really caught them off guard. He was the executive who stayed at BBK during the Spring Festival this year and was responsible for handling BBK's affairs in those days, so he rushed over as soon as possible."

Other BBK executives, such as Shen Wei, Jin Zhijiang and other disciples of Duan Yongping, are still celebrating the New Year in their hometowns.

The members of BBK's R&D team are still in their hometowns. It is impossible to call them all back immediately. It takes time to disassemble the Shenzhou repeater in reverse. It also takes time to gather the production workshop staff who are on vacation, and then find parts suppliers to place orders and start producing repeaters!
That is to say, within at least one month, or even one and a half to two months, there will be no rivals to the Shenzhou repeater on the market. Two months is enough for the Shenzhou repeater to establish its position in the industry and occupy the market. Subsequent brands can only eat the leftovers of the Shenzhou repeater.

“It’s a good time indeed!”

Duan Yongping frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that!"

In the face of Chen Mingyong's puzzled look, Duan Yongping said, "Remember last year, when BBK entered the electronic dictionary industry, and heard rumors about the education industry?"

"Mr. Duan, you mean..." Chen Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Duan Yongping nodded slowly. "Last year, when BBK was developing the electronic dictionary, there was news from the education sector that the English exams for middle school entrance exams, college entrance exams, and universities would all strengthen the comprehensive oral and listening tests!"

Seeing the Shenzhou repeater, Duan Yongping couldn't help but think of the rumors he heard last year that the listening section will be added to the English exams in both the middle school entrance exam, the college entrance exam, and college entrance exams in China.

Before, there were many different opinions about the truth of these rumors, and no one dared to be sure. But now that Dongling Hi-Tech has launched the Shenzhou repeater, Duan Yongping feels that the news is most likely true!
This is not Duan Yongping's fault. Given Dongling Hi-Tech's current status, it is only natural for it to get some inside information in advance.

Even some Yanjing units and departments will invite Dongling Hi-Tech to participate when formulating certain new industry rules. This is the treatment that industry giants deserve, and it is the same for giant companies around the world.

Now that Dongling Hi-Tech has launched the Shenzhou repeater, Duan Yongping immediately thought of the rumors he heard last year.

After hearing Duan Yongping's analysis, Chen Mingyong couldn't help but open his mouth wide even though he knew that the Shenzhou repeater might sell well!

The Shenzhou repeater, which can play songs and music, has already attracted countless young people. If the news from the education sector comes true, then every family in China with school-age children will probably buy a repeater!
Then the repeater industry will become an industry with sales of more than 10 million or even 20 million machines per year. The revenue of the entire market may exceed tens of billions. If it can be exported, the entire industry may even have the opportunity to become a 10 billion industry!

"Call the technicians and production staff back immediately!"

Duan Yongping couldn't bear it any longer. BBK has always been chasing the wind. BBK may not be the first to enter the market to make money, but it will never miss the opportunity to make money.

"Now?"

Chen Mingyong was shocked. "Today is only the first day of the Lunar New Year. If we want to gather everyone back, I'm afraid... it won't be that easy!"

Duan Yongping glared at him, his aura making Chen Mingyong feel a little breathless. He was able to bring the Little Overlord to an annual revenue of over one billion, and after giving up the Little Overlord, he established BBK and made a comeback. Duan Yongping's vision and ability definitely made him one of the top figures of this era.

"Tomorrow, those who return to the headquarters will be rewarded with one month's salary, and those who return the next day will be rewarded with 20 days' salary!

The later you return to the headquarters, the less bonus you will get. Those who fail to return on time do not need to come back!
From now on, everyone at BBK will have to work overtime, including me, until we develop the BBK repeater. "

Duan Zongping said in a resolute manner that once a plan is made, it will be implemented without any procrastination.

After explaining everything to Chen Mingyong, Duan Yongping didn't care about anything else and rushed directly to the BBK headquarters.

Watching Duan Yongping's leaving figure, Liu Xin in the room couldn't help but sigh. She is now in America, working as a photojournalist. This time during the Spring Festival, she came back from America to reunite with Duan Yongping.

Liu Xin hopes that Duan Yongping can go to America to live with her and their children. Duan Yongping once promised her, but given Duan Yongping's current condition, she is not sure whether he can still go to America.

After the Shenzhou repeater was released, BBK was the fastest to react. Under the leadership of Duan Yongping, it quickly gathered people and began to develop the repeater, looking for parts suppliers, and preparing to develop BBK's own repeater as quickly as possible.

As for other well-known domestic electronics companies, including Panda, Senko, and Amoi, their reactions were somewhat belated.

It was not until the domestic television media suddenly reported the news of the surge in domestic music tape sales that the domestic technology companies, which were still on holiday, realized that Dongling Hi-Tech had used a trick to cover up the truth!
"After Dongling Hi-Tech released the Shenzhou repeater, domestic audio-visual stores welcomed a buying boom, with some stores selling over 4000 copies a day, and some stores were sold out!"

"The largest audio-visual store chain in Yanjing has announced that it has reached a cooperation agreement with the Shenzhou brand and will officially start selling Shenzhou repeaters in audio-visual stores!"

On the TV screen, there was a video store with music tapes being snapped up. It was indeed a crazy rush. Customers went into the store and paid for the tapes as soon as they got them, regardless of which singer or when they bought them. If they acted too late, they might not be able to buy anything.

No one could have imagined that after the Shenzhou repeater was released, the first beneficiaries would be domestic audio and video stores!
If you buy a Shenzhou repeater, you can't just leave it running idle. You will definitely need tapes, and more than one tape.

Previous tape recorders were too big and could not be used with headphones. They were only good for listening in public, but could not be placed under the covers to slowly enjoy the music by oneself. However, the emergence of the Shenzhou repeater made it possible for individuals to listen to music.

Buy a Shenzhou repeater, put on headphones, and listen by yourself without worrying about disturbing others. This becomes one of your personal entertainment activities.

A tape recorder can play countless tapes, which naturally made the domestic music tape market suddenly become extremely popular!
