Chapter 432 A man is a teenager until he dies(1/2)

Time passed in the blink of an eye to May. On the morning of the 19th, 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 over and take a look?"

When Lu Yiming heard this, he was immediately 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, music players were ready to use, whether on computers or smartphones, which was very convenient. Nowadays,

It's 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. It basically meets my minimum requirements. It's better than the one Cheng Xiaohua made before.

a lot of."

Regarding this, Lu Yiming could only sigh in his heart. He was indeed the Nanling hero who single-handedly made thousands of people listen.

It has been a while since I came to Yixun Technology. Zheng Nanling also knew that Cheng Xiaohua was the boss who made the Tianyin MP3 player. Now that Lu Yiming said that his software is better than Cheng Xiaohua, Zheng Nanling felt embarrassed.

Yes, he said humbly: "There are different professions and specialties after hearing the Tao. I can't do hardware."

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

Zheng Nanling thought for a while and said: "I have been listening to "Qian Qian Que Song" recently. What I hope to make is a software that can listen to music quietly. How about calling this software Qian Qian Jing Ting?"

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

"Well, yes, this is Qianqianjingting version 1.0. But the Chinese version is not enough. You should develop an English version as soon as possible. Even not only the English version, but also multiple languages ​​​​should be arranged."

Zheng Nanling asked in confusion: "What are you doing developing those things now?"

In his opinion, Qianqianjingting can be considered a great success if it can serve the country's more than one billion people. It is completely meaningless to create a foreign language version now.

However, he had no idea that Lu Yiming's ambitions didn't stop there.

"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 hesitant and didn't think Lu Yiming could do it.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, but the current Internet environment in China is like this. Many technologies were first born in the United States, and then Internet practitioners in Xia State copied them directly based on the template.

Therefore, no programmer in their right mind would dare to think about creating something original and promoting the product to the whole world. Who starts dreaming in broad daylight?

However, seeing Lu Yiming's arrogant and ambitious face, Zheng Nanling still did not open his mouth to attack Lu Yiming.

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

After leaving Yixun Technology, Lu Yiming went to find Song Honglin and began to arrange work, asking him to start mass production of Tianyin MP3.

Song Honglin hesitated and said: "Mr. Lu, this is it. This is a new product that has not been tested by the market. If you directly stock a large amount of goods, it will squeeze the company's liquidity and the risk is very high. If the goods cannot be sold,

There is even a possibility that the capital chain will be broken."

Lu Yiming listened to Song Honglin's opinion very carefully and said, "Well, you are very worried. But just do as I say. I have considered all the things you are worried about, and there is no problem."

Lu Yiming didn't explain much about Song Honglin's confusion and doubts.

Because now he is the only one who knows how much money the MP3 product can make if it is ready!

Thanks to the iPod, which amazed most electronic product enthusiasts at the beginning of this century, Apple has earned at least 70 billion U.S. dollars.

From 2001 to 2021, iPod shipments exceeded 430 million units!

Before iPhones, MacBooks, iPads and other products made Apple the global consumer electronics darling, the iPod opened up a dominant market situation for this future technology giant much earlier.

Although 70 billion US dollars is not a great number for Apple, which has become so prosperous.

In 2012, iPhone’s annual revenue reached US$78.7 billion, far exceeding the total profit created by iPod for Apple.

However, in the sixth year after the birth of iPod, this boxy music player accounted for 40% of Apple's revenue. In its eleventh year, it gave Apple the dominant position in the global MP3 player market.

More than 70% of the market share.

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

What Lu Yiming has to do now is to be the first to cut off the music and launch the Tianyin series of mp3s before Apple can react to seize the market share.

Follow Apple's path and leave Apple with nowhere to go.

But from the perspective of other management of Mingyuan Technology, they felt that Lu Yiming's actions were too radical, and could even be said to be the behavior of a gambler. How could he just start playing without the cards being dealt?

This is too outrageous!

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

"Mr. Song, what do you think Mr. Lu thinks? USB flash drives are selling well now. Why did you open two more production lines to produce those MP3s?"

"That is to say, isn't that thing just for listening to music? But it's priced at 1,999, which is two thousand yuan per unit. Who can afford it? It's not that expensive to buy a Sony Walkman!"

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

Song Honglin was overwhelmed by the noise and asked speechlessly: "You have opinions, why didn't you raise them when Mr. Kailu was here just now?"

"We don't dare."

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

Although some time has passed since Zheng Baishun's incident, Lu Yiming has long been famous. How can anyone in Mingyuan Technology dare to rub the tiger's beard?

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

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

After get off work, Song Honglin came to visit.

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

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

Song Honglin smiled and said: "Good afternoon Xiaoting. I heard that Mr. Zheng is back. How is his health now?"

Zheng Fengting said: "Yes, I'm back. The doctor told me to rest more and not work too hard, but my dad's appetite has improved a lot in the past few 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."

"good."

In the study, Song Honglin saw Zheng Youyuan. Needless to say, Zheng Youyuan's condition seemed much worse now than before he fell ill.

After all, age is here, and if there is a slight disturbance, it is not a small disturbance.

"Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Youyuan looked up and immediately smiled and said: "Alin, long time no see, sit down quickly."

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

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

Song Honglin said: "Since cooperating with Microsoft, our USB flash drives have been sold at home and abroad, and we are now actively studying the expansion of production capacity."

Zheng Youyuan was immediately relieved after hearing this, 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 we didn't even dare to think about in our time."

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

Zheng Youyuan said: "I know, I heard that thing is very convenient for listening to music."

Song Honglin couldn't help complaining: "It's really convenient. After all, it doesn't use floppy disks or tapes. The key problem now is that Mr. Lu wants us to divert some of the USB flash drive production capacity and use all the new factories to produce the Tianyin MP3."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

This is something Zheng Youyuan did not expect.

Song Honglin couldn't help but express his bitterness: "Mr. Lu's ability is beyond doubt, but his courage is also extraordinary. At present, the company has launched several projects at the same time. In addition to USB flash drives, technology research and development

It is said that the ministry is still working on a new gadget called solid state drive, which is costing money like water."

"Forget it, now we have to forcefully launch the Tianyin MP3 project. The retail price is nearly two thousand yuan, which has not been tested by the market at all. Success or failure depends entirely on God's will. The risk is too great. I can't bear it.

Stay here, Mr. Zheng.”

"Mr. Zheng, in the entire Youyuan Technology, I think Mr. Lu will only listen to you. Why don't you talk to Mr. Lu? I don't know what it means for Youyuan Technology to launch new projects like this crazily."

It's a blessing and a curse."

In terms of career, Song Honglin still has some pursuits, so he does not want to become the "king of subjugation" of Mingyuan Technology.

What's more, this matter is not Song Honglin's idea alone. There are few people in the company who are not panicking.

Zheng Youyuan thought about Song Honglin's words carefully, and then said: "There is no doubt that Mr. Lu's mind is flexible. After all, young people have active thinking. But according to what you said about him, his decision is indeed a bit reckless.

.Let me call and ask."

Lu Yiming had been busy for a while and had just returned to the villa, planning to put on the hot water and take a bath when he received a call from Zheng Youyuan.

"Mr. Zheng! How are you? Are you feeling better? Do you plan to go back to work in the company?"

Zheng Youyuan laughed heartily and said, "I'm an old man, I'm afraid I have to stay at home for a while. What's more, don't you have a Dinghaishen needle in the company? With you here, I feel relieved."

Lu Yiming also smiled and said, "Looking at the way you spoke with so much anger, it really shouldn't be a big deal."

Zheng Youyuan didn't waste any more nonsense, and went straight to the point, saying: "Manager Song came over to my house just now to sit down and chat about the company's recent development. I heard that you have developed an MP3 player, and are you planning to build a few production lines for mass production?
