A U disk costs $199, and a mp3 cost 299, which was unimaginable later.
At least the U disk definitely does not have this price, so the storage is still calculated based on g.
But it is not an exaggeration to put it now.
After all, these are all high-tech and new things. Nowadays, any mobile phone starts at 8,000 yuan, and any computer starts at tens of thousands.
Going further, the big brothers have tens of thousands of yuan per piece, so you can imagine how crazy the price of technology products these days.
Mr. Ni fiddled with it for a while, it was quite interesting.
The U disk cannot be tested for the time being. After all, there is no computer, and a U disk cannot play any role.
But that mp3 is fresh, without tape, no disc, small and exquisite, you can listen to music by turning on the headphones.
The screen also displays, song lists, song titles, and it is obvious at a glance. Clicking on the song "The Female Prince Consort" is so exciting.
But after all, I don’t have my own skills!
Fortunately, mp3 uses hard disk storage technology, and core components can be made in China.
But the U disk is just a small U disk, and the flash memory chip is powerless in China.
The flash memory chip that can be produced in China is as high as 16m, and it is also the imported technology of the island country.
32m, you can only ask for someone and buy it at a high price.
I finally took off my headphones and said, "Xiaojiang, do you think R&D is important, or the market is important?"
Much closer.
At this time, in Mr. Ni's eyes, Jiang Chen was no longer a young and promising company boss, but a junior who was quite admired.
Jiang Chen was also satisfied with this change and replied with a smile: "It's all important. R&D must ultimately be aimed at the market. Only when the market recognizes it and makes money can R&D continue.
So the philosophy I have always adhered to is to develop the products needed in the market.”
"If one day you find that the product is already available on the market and has a high technical content, would you still be willing to spend money on research?"
Jiang Chen's words cannot be said to be wrong.
On the contrary, what he said was completely wrong.
The problem is that there is not such a good thing in this world. Many times, what you think has been done, or even done well.
At this time, we have to face a choice whether to continue investing or change the track.
Then we need to consider whether we can change the track from the perspective of the country and the nation.
Jiang Chen laughed silently: "It's like the argument between you and Mr. Liu within Lenovo, right?"
"Absolutely, you are the major shareholder of Lenovo now. If I don't say it, you must know that Lao Liu and I have a very quarrel.
But it’s not OK to have your own things. No matter how good they are, they still belong to them. One day they say they won’t sell us, then we’ll be blind.”
It is said that family scandals should not be made public, but Mr. Ni did not avoid so many taboos.
First, he did appreciate Jiang Chen, and second, he knew that as a major shareholder, Jiang Chen could not be unclear about the dirty tricks.
Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, if others have it, it is not as good as yourself. Even if it is not as good as others, it is still yours.
If you have your own products, you can also have pricing power to avoid being slaughtered. So Mr. Ni, please ask me if a certain product is already available on the market and has a high technical content, will I still be willing to spend money? My answer is, I am willing to
.
In fact, I did the same. The group company has established an exclusive science academy, which is of high level. Although there are only mp3 and USB flash drives for the time being, and there are not many core technologies, but computer operating systems, mobile phone chip designs, and many things.
We all have plans and we are doing it.”
After saying that, he smiled and said, "Don't think that we are taking shortcuts now and do technical integration. In fact, there is no way. R&D requires money, and R&D high-tech requires even more money, so I have to find a way to make money first.
”
"So you even bought Vitality 28?" Old Ni teased with a smile.
Jiang Chenle said: "Yes, daily chemicals are also profitable, not just daily chemicals, but also agriculture, but doing these things is not just for making money."
"What's that for?"
"Resist invasion, preserve the fruits of development, and keep the fruits of labor in the hands of our people!
Mr. Ni, you are engaged in research and may not pay much attention to these things. Let me say that, just talk about daily chemicals. Do you know how many foreign brands have come in now?
Do you know how many toothpaste, laundry detergent, cola they drink, and cosmetics they use now are not ours?
Very serious.
Panda laundry detergent is actually from Procter & Gamble now.
After the joint venture between Tianfu Cola and Pepsi, it has basically disappeared.
China Toothpaste is now behind Unilever.
There are many more. Imperialism is undeadly committed to destroying me. If no one stands up, it will only become more and more serious in the future.”
Jiang Chen rarely says this.
Even in the company, he wouldn't talk about this except when a few people chatted in private.
But facing this respectable elder, he didn't mind telling out his truest thoughts.
Mr. Ni hasn't paid attention to these things.
He is a scholar and a scholar. He is really not the focus of food, food, oil and salt.
When I heard this, I suddenly fell into silence again.
After a long time, he patted his thigh and praised: "Okay, okay, the strong youth is the strong China. I miss us old bones, and we have lived for most of our lives, but in the end we can see thoroughly as much as you, a young man."
"You can't say that, you have a specialty in your profession. I run a business and you are a scientist. You just have a different perspective on the problem.
But then again, Mr. Ni, how long are you going to spend on this broken ship?"
Jiang Chen is very modest.
Although Mr. Ni's praise made him feel very happy, he was not yet at the point where he really thought he was too great.
Some things were not intended to be said so early, and since all the talk was over, he didn't mind saying them in advance.
Mr. Ni was slightly stunned and then couldn't laugh or cry: "Broken ship, are you still on the broken ship?"
"The facts prove that I'm right, I've made a lot of money."
Jiang Chen enjoys the talk.
Time has passed these days, and Lenovo's stock price has risen again, and it is already more than two yuan.
This means that the investment in bottom-buying at that time increased again.
The current situation is that as long as Mr. Liu works hard enough and Lenovo's performance steadily improves, he will make money while lying down.
Because of this reason, he does not need to quickly enter the computer industry and fight to death with Lenovo.
Because it's too hard to make a lot of money if you're honest.
If you clean up Lenovo, you can wait until the value is drained, and then he will have a solution.
After saying that, Jiang Chen said seriously: "But I really have no idea about Lenovo, and I don't think that Mr. Ni, you can continue to stay in Lenovo, is the right choice."
"No?"
"You said that R&D is as important as the market. Although Lao Liu and I have differences in development concepts now, it should be only temporary.
When the company's situation improves and has money, I believe he is still willing to invest money in research and development."
