Countercurrent 1982

After assigning tasks to Fang Bo and Liu Guoping, Duan Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With these two competent leaders, Duan Yun's daily work is indeed much easier now, and he also has more time to deal with the things he is interested in, and at the same time, he can also participate in some social entertainment.

Duan Yun has always attached great importance to the research and development of new products. This trip to the United States also made him truly feel the current development trend of electronic products in the world and the importance of research and development of high-tech products. In the next few years, DVD and MP3 players will still be the highest and most competitive electronic products of Tianyin Group. Until now, no other manufacturers have produced similar products. One of the main reasons is that Duan Yun The layout of professional barriers has played a very good effect. European and American companies want to produce similar products, they need to bypass many professional barriers, and in terms of product supply chain and assembly, China
The advantages of domestic enterprises have become more and more obvious. The United States and Europe, which have gradually de-industrialized, have become more and more disadvantaged in terms of production costs of similar products.However, for Duan Yun, whether it is DVD or MP3, they are just excessive electronic products. No technology company can rely on a product to support the entire company for more than 10 years, so

Duan Yun must also pay close attention to the research and development of new products.For a long time, Duan Yun has a general idea of ​​the direction of product development. From the earliest Walkman to MP3 player, the company will invest a lot of resources in the research of MP4 player. In the end, the technical accumulation of these products
Tired, all will be invested in the application of smart phones, so technological progress has been accumulated over a long period of time, and it is almost impossible to achieve technologically advanced products.

After leaving his office, Duan Yun went directly to Tianyin Group's R&D center.Ni Guangnan's office is located on the third floor of the headquarters of the R&D Center. Apart from Ni Guangnan's chief engineer's office on this floor, there are offices for project leaders next to him. On the other side of the building is a multimedia conference room.

The Guangnan organization work meeting was held there.

Although he has his own office, Ni Guangnan seldom stays there. Most of his time is either in meetings or in various laboratories, and today is no exception.This trip to the United States shocked Ni Guangnan very much. Tianyin Group has always been the largest technology company in China before, and its related electronic products are all top-notch in China, including chips, so almost all
Some employees are proud of Tianyin Group, and with the great success of DVD and MP3 in the United States, everyone feels that Chinese technology has a place in the world.However, at this CE S exhibition in the United States, Ni Guangnan saw some gaps in the development of Chinese technology and world technology, especially some multinational technology giants in Europe, America and Japan.
Full of sense of technology, no matter in terms of software and hardware, it can be called the crystallization of human wisdom. Although Tianyin Group has made some achievements, in general, there is still a certain gap with those top companies.So after returning to China, Ni Guangnan held a three-day meeting in the R&D center. The main content was to research and analyze with some R&D backbones. Product promotional catalogs and manuals were re-copied and bound, and distributed to each key member of R&D technology. On the one hand, they could feel the gap, and on the other hand, they could learn from the product design ideas of foreign technology companies...

and direction, re-establish the group company's own product design direction.In this internal meeting, Ni Guangnan put the development of MP1 player on the work schedule for the first time, and planned to spend 4 to 1 years to make the world's first MP2 player according to the design ideas provided by Duan Yun. broadcast

amplifier.

Speaking of MP4 players, in fact, it was first successfully developed by a French company.

The Chinese name of this French company is Archos. It was established in 1988. They launched the world's first MP2002 in 1. The abbreviated name is JM, which is the abbreviation of the English multimedia jukebox.

The first MP1 player in the world that year supported MP4 audio, MP3, and viewing pictures and other functions, with a built-in 4GB hard disk.

However, when this product was first launched, it did not cause much sensation. The main reason was related to the design of the product.The screen of this MP4 is very small, only the size of a matchbox, which is basically the same size as the color screen used by Nokia mobile phones in the early years, and the pixels are even poorer, so this product can only be used barely, not to mention

How many audio and video enjoyment.

But even so, the French Archos MP4 is very expensive. At the beginning of its listing, the product concept was positioned as high-end, and it was called a consumer electronics luxury product, which shows that its price is expensive.But in any case, this MP4 is indeed a milestone electronic product. Before that, people wanted to watch video products, either going to the cinema or watching TV at home. There was no portable device at all.

The emergence of film and television products.However, no matter how advanced the technology is, if it is not recognized by consumers and supported by the market, it will be difficult to survive. Therefore, if you really want to make money from this product, the technology must be mature enough and the cost is sufficient.

It's cheap enough.But even if the product in the early stage is not profitable, Duan Yun must plan for research and development in advance, because relying on the foresight of his previous life, he knows that this product will definitely become very profitable after reaching certain parameters.
Electronic products, so he does not hesitate to invest in his research and development.

In the laboratory on the second floor, Duan Yun finally saw Ni Guangnan.

At this time, Ni Guangnan was sitting in a laboratory surrounded by several assistants, listening to him explaining product design ideas.

Seeing Duan Yundao approaching, Ni Guangnan immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Mr. Ni, what are you busy with?" Duan Yun asked with a smile. "Before we went abroad, it was really an eye-opener for me, and I saw the properties of those big international companies." Ni Guangnan said with emotion, and then said: "If we want to compete with them, we have to adjust our product design.

Ji Xin, the MP4 player you told me before is a very good product. I originally thought that this product was impossible, but after researching it with my colleagues these days, I found that it is really feasible... ..."

"Um, what are you going to do then?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he asked casually. "The people in our lab worked hard for a few days, and they did make a small player." Ni Guangnan said, pointing to the experimental bench.
