Chapter 458 New product perfection and patent application
"It sounds so good!"
"I didn't expect such a small thing to produce such wonderful music?"
"I will never listen to VCDs at home again. It's so convenient to just listen to MP3s."
“And this little thing can be listened to for a full 10 hours!”
Yang Ling has put a lot of effort into this product, and the battery also uses the most advanced lithium battery, which has a large amount of power.
It's not like those small Walkmans sold on the market today that still use AA batteries. How can it be reduced in size?
Zhou Hua happily described the new shell with Yang Ling in the office.
"Mr. Yang, I guarantee you will fall in love with me just by taking one look!"
"You don't know, that little thing is square and round, and it's very small. It's round and round in your hand, and it's very comfortable just to touch it."
Zhou Hua made arrangements for the customization of the casing, and mass shipments started immediately.
The plastic shell is used, but the appearance is very delicate.
Originally, Yang Ling planned to make a transparent shell, which would look more handsome and very technological.
However, considering that the first product wanted stability, we still made two models, a milky white one and a sky blue one.
These two colors are the most accepted colors on the market, and people like them just by looking at them.
Ever since Zhou Hua came back from the factory there, he was full of praise for the new casing.
Yang Ling was studying the storage particles. Looking at Zhou Hua's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Old Zhou, I see you look like a loser. There will be plenty of good-looking shells in the future."
"How can it be the same? After all, this was made by my own hands."
Zhou Hua said proudly.
"Mr. Yang, from now on our MP3 player will be called Lingyue, right? This is indeed a pretty good name. It's smart and sweet, and it's comfortable to listen to."
Yang Ling frowned and looked at such a large memory module.
In the future world, the price/performance ratio will be much higher.
After all, electronic products are always very expensive at the beginning, but the price becomes much lower later on.
"The space is too small now, so we still have to find ways to make some technological progress in storage particles."
Zhou Hua asked curiously.
"Mr. Yang, you're still young? Such a small thing can store dozens of songs. I can't listen to them all."
That's because Zhou Hua has seen too little.
"As a young person, I can listen to hundreds of songs on the computer at once, and I can listen to them all day long. Dozens of songs are not enough to listen to."
Zhou Hua smiled and shook his head.
"It seems that I am still out of touch with the world. I just listened to those two songs over and over. Anyway, they were quite comfortable. If there were more than 100 songs, I would be really confused."
"that is you."
Yang Ling glanced at Zhou Hua.
"What am I saying? When doing business, you must think about your customers."
"Mr. Yang, do you plan to research storage particles yourself?"
Yang Ling nodded and said.
"That's right."
"Currently, the highest production cost of our equipment is storage pellets. If we can master the production technology of storage pellets ourselves, we can not only further reduce the size, but also reduce the cost, and even produce one for less than a few dozen yuan."
"Isn't that too cheap?"
Zhou Hua couldn't help being shocked.
You must know that the current situation is that the audio decoding capabilities, battery life and storage capabilities of this MP3 are already better than most of its peers on the market.
As long as this product is put on the market, it will definitely be popular.
Although this frequency is not very popular yet, at least in this limited market, this product will definitely take the lead.
"Now is the best time to enter the semiconductor industry. If we wait any longer, other people's technical barriers will be completely established, and we will have no chance to get started."
If we wait another 10 years, the price of memory will completely drop.
The ability to recover costs has become more difficult, which means that subsequent manufacturers who want to enter the market have no way to compete with those old brands.
That's why Yang Ling is so urgent.
And this is just the right time.
"But Mr. Yang, if we do this, won't it look a bit too messy?"
"On the one hand, we have to make storage modules, and on the other hand, we have to make chips, audio processors, and motherboards."
"Everything must be independently researched and developed. Although it sounds good to advertise, is the pressure faced by the factory too much?"
The ability to resist risks in this way is indeed very weak.
But Yang Ling is confident.
"This is a blue ocean. If you don't increase investment when the industry is just starting to emerge, it will be too late to think about increasing investment until the industry is devastated later."
Zhou Hua thought that this was really the case.
"So, Mr. Yang, are you sure that this thing will definitely become a must-have item for everyone?"
"At least that's the case in southern cities."
"But according to current market research, this kind of portable music listening device is mostly used by music enthusiasts."
"Don't think about how expensive this kind of equipment is now. How many people are willing to spend one to two thousand just to listen to a song?"
"That's true."
Zhou Hua understood it as soon as he thought about it.
Yang Ling said: "I plan to set the price at five to six hundred, so that more people can buy it and make it a real personal item for everyone."
"Then this price is enough to change this market."
Zhou Hua was eager to give it a try.
"One more thing."
Yang Ling warned.
"I plan to separate our factory from Lingyi Technology. We purchased the factory buildings and equipment here ourselves, and we have little relationship with Lingyi Technology."
"I will go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange later to discuss the specific matters with Lao Qian. From now on, you will be the general manager and director of Origin Technology Company."
"Origin Technology?"
Zhou Hua said with a smile.
"Sounds interesting?"
"Director Zhou, are you ready for a big fight?"
"of course!"
Zhou Hua held the new small MP3 player with an ambitious smile on his face.
"I'm so old, I didn't expect to be able to do such a glorious thing with Mr. Yang. My life is worth living!"
"Why do you say it is so tragic? How about doing business with a normal mind?"
"Okay! Listen to Mr. Yang."
Zhou Hua and Yang Ling each stretched out a hand and held it tightly together.
After more than half a year of shelving, Yang Ling's new career has finally started again.
At this moment, the Shenzhen market on the other side.
Qian Zhongyi couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the news about Yang Ling being reported in the newspaper.
What is this Yang Ling doing recently? Making an mp3?
This gadget is so expensive on the market now and is not cost-effective at all. How can anyone buy it?
