Chapter 687 Forced brainstorming, there is a great Confucian debate on the classics
Duan Yongping looked at the repeater that Chen Mingyong had brought over with a puzzled look. When he saw the Shenzhou logo on it, his eyes suddenly shrank.
After looking through it, Duan Yongping looked at the product in his hand and asked Chen Mingyong to stuff a box of tapes inside. During the operation, he asked, "Is this a new product from Donglin Hi-Tech?"
"Yes!"
"It is somewhat similar to the previous recorder. Dongling Hi-Tech has made a lot of improvements. Some brands of micro recorders have been put on the shelves in BBK mall before, but the sales were not satisfactory!"
Chen Mingyong said that micro recorders are not uncommon. They have appeared a few years ago, and products similar to the Shenzhou repeater have also appeared, but they did not cause much commotion because... they were too expensive!
Those miniature recorders and early repeaters were too expensive, even more expensive than Sony's Walkman, which blocked most users out.
In addition, the previous recorder could only record for tens of seconds due to the memory size, which was too useless.
It’s expensive, tasteless, and naturally won’t become popular. A product must either be practical or cut off users, but it must give users a sense of experience, or face!
There must be one of the two. You cannot cut leeks and fool people into thinking they are fools at the same time. I am afraid the buyer will have to vote with his feet.
A burst of song sound came from the Shenzhou repeater. Duan Yongping listened for a while and then said to his wife Liu Xin, "Go and get the Sony Walkman from home!"
Then, Duan Yongping and Chen Mingyong compared the Shenzhou repeater with the Sony Walkman using the same song.
The result is naturally that the gap is very obvious. The sound quality of the songs played by Sony's Walkman is very faithful to the fidelity, and even subtle details such as the singer's breathing can be heard.
In comparison, the singing voice played by the Shenzhou repeater is a bit "rough" for people in the music industry.
However, 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 intolerable.
"Even though the sound quality of the Shenzhou repeater is not as good as that of the Sony Walkman, the sound quality has also reached the acceptable level!"
After Duan Yongping finished speaking, Chen Mingyong said, "Feiyan Technology is owned by Dongling Hi-Tech, and Feiyan Technology's audio technology is among the best in the country."
When the outside world mentions Feiyan Technology, most attention is focused on Himalayan Radio, but peers in the electronics industry such as BBK know how strong Feiyan Technology is in the domestic radio and car audio equipment industries.
With Feiyan Technology providing support in terms of audio technology and equipment, the sound quality of the Shenzhou repeater is not far behind, and there is definitely a qualified line.
"How much does a Shenzhou repeater cost?" Duan Yongping asked.
“The unit price is 598 yuan!”
When Duan Yongping heard this, he looked at Chen Mingyong and took a breath of cold air, "The Sony Walkman sells for more than 2,000 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 can make a sound, this price is considered the conscience of Tanglin Hi-Tech!
And most of the listeners 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 the appearance and workmanship, this machine is obviously not a cheap product.
Shenzhou repeater function is launched with STN LCD screen, and it only sells for 598 yuan. Looking at the domestic and even global electronics industry, Donglin Hi-Tech can rely on its control over the entire industry chain to reduce costs to this point.
There is also a large memory of 16M, half an hour of recording time, and after-sales service within the remaining six months. Duan Yongping feels that this machine is the masterpiece of Dongling Hi-Tech, or Chi Guoguo’s dazzling skills!
Even manufacturers such as BBK can make repeaters, but Duan Yongping finds it very difficult to achieve the level of workmanship of Dongling Hi-Tech and reduce the cost to the level of Shenzhou repeaters.
“The current Shenzhou repeater is very powerful in learning spoken foreign languages.
I can still listen to music. On my way here, several electronic retail stores and electrical appliance shopping malls have begun to sell out of stock!
Tanglin Hi-Tech is really ruthless with this move. It goes on sale on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even if we want to study this machine, we don’t have the manpower to get it! ”
Chen Mingyong clapped his thighs and shouted. The launch on the first day of the 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 these days, so he rushed over as soon as possible.
The other senior executives of BBK, 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 all still in their hometowns. It is impossible to call them all back at once. It will take time to disassemble the Shenzhou repeater in reverse. It will take time to find all the production workshop personnel who are on vacation, and then find the parts supplier to place an order and start production. Repeaters also take time!
That is to say, within at least one month, or even one and a half months or two months, there will be no rival to the Shenzhou repeater on the market. Two months were enough for Shenzhou Repeater to confirm its position in the world and dominate the market. Subsequent brands that entered the market would have to eat the leftovers of Shenzhou Repeater.
“You really picked a good time!”
Duan Yongping frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that!"
In Chen Mingyong's confused look, Duan Yongping said, "Remember last year when BBK entered the electronic dictionary industry and heard rumors related to 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, news came out from the education department that the English examinations for high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, and university must strengthen the comprehensive examination of speaking and listening!"
Seeing the Shenzhou repeater now, Duan Yongping couldn't help but think of the rumors he heard last year. In China, whether it is the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, or university English exam, a listening part will be added.
Before, the outside world had different opinions on whether these rumors were true or false, and no one was sure. But now seeing that Tanglin High-Tech has launched the Shenzhou repeater, Duan Yongping feels that this news is most likely true!
This is not to be blamed on Duan Yongping's imagination. With Tanglin High-tech's current status, it is quite normal 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 this is true 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, even though Chen Mingyong knew that the Shenzhou repeater might be a big hit, he couldn't help but open his mouth!
The Shenzhou repeater can play songs and music, which has attracted countless young people. If the news from the education center comes true, then all domestic families with children in school will probably buy a repeater!
That repeater machine will become an industry with sales of more than 10 million or even 20 million machines every year. The revenue of the entire market may exceed several billion. If it can be exported, the entire industry may even reach Become a tens of billions industry!
"Call the technical staff and production staff back immediately!"
Duan Yongping couldn't bear it anymore. Bubugao always chased the trend. Bubugao may not be the first one to enter the scene to eat meat, but he must not miss the opportunity to eat meat.
"Now?"
Chen Mingyong was startled, "Today is only the first day of the Lunar New Year. I'm afraid... it's not that easy to gather everyone back!"
Duan Yongping stared at him, and the overwhelming Chen Mingyong was a little breathless. He was able to bring the little overlord back then to a level of more than one billion in annual revenue, and he was able to establish a step-by-step comeback after giving up the little overlord. Duan Yongping's eyes followed him. His ability is definitely one of the top figures in 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 smaller the bonus will be. Those who do not return on time will not have to come back!
From now on, everyone at BBK will work overtime, including me, until a BBK repeater is developed. ”
Duan Zongping said vigorously and resolutely, once the plan is formulated, it will be implemented and there will never be any delay.
After explaining Chen Mingyong, Duan Yongping rushed directly to the BBK headquarters without caring about anything else.
Watching Duan Yongping leave, Liu Xin in the room couldn't help but sigh. She is now working as a photojournalist in America. This time she came back from America to reunite with Duan Yongping during the Spring Festival.
Liu Xin hoped that Duan Yongping could go to America to live with her and her children. Duan Yongping had promised her before, but in Duan Yongping's current condition, whether he could still go to America was a question in her mind. No bottom either.
After the launch of the Shenzhou repeater, BBK was the fastest to respond. Under the leadership of Duan Yongping, they quickly gathered people and began to develop the repeater, looking for parts suppliers, and prepared to develop BBK as quickly as possible. Your own repeater.
The rest of the well-known domestic electronics companies, such as Panda, Xianke, Amoi and others, reacted somewhat belatedly.
It wasn't until the domestic TV stations and media suddenly reported the news of the surge in sales of domestic music tapes that various domestic technology companies, who were still on vacation, realized that Donglin Hi-Tech had come up with a trick to hide the truth!
"Following the launch of the Shenzhou repeater by Donglin Hi-Tech, domestic audio and video stores ushered in a buying boom. Some stores sold more than 4,000 copies in a single day, and some audio and video stores were sold out!"
"The largest chain of audio and video stores in Yanjing announced that it has reached a cooperation with the Shenzhou brand and will officially sell Shenzhou repeaters in audio and video stores!"
On the TV screen, there was a picture of music tapes in a video store being robbed. It was indeed being robbed. When users entered the store, they didn’t care which singer or when they bought the music tape. Anyway, if they got it, they would pay for it. , because I started late, I may not even be able to buy it.
No one would have thought that after the Shenzhou repeater was released, the first to benefit would be domestic video stores!
When buying a Shenzhou repeater, you must not run it idle. It will definitely require tapes, and more than one tape.
The previous cassette recorders were too big and couldn't be plugged in with headphones. It was enough to listen to them in public, but they couldn't be put under the covers and enjoy the music slowly by themselves. However, the emergence of the Shenzhou repeater made personal listening to music a reality.
Buy a Shenzhou repeater, put on headphones, and listen by yourself without worrying about disturbing others. This has become one of the personal entertainment activities.
A repeater can play countless tapes, which naturally makes the domestic music tape market suddenly become extremely popular!
