Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 92 New Projects

Now Orange Technology is researching the 'CD' Walkman, but Lei Liquan forgot that there is another 'Walkman', that is, the cassette Walkman, which Lei Liquan had seen in his previous life and used it to learn English.

On December 1979, 12, Sony released the first "Walkman", which was loved by millions.Sony then developed the second-generation Walkman, which became a global hit after it went on sale.

After the second-generation Walkman was officially launched in February 81, total global sales exceeded 2 million units.

Moreover, the Walkman was sold at a very high price at that time, a full $199.

We must know that the salary of ordinary white-collar workers in Hong Kong in the 80s was only over 199 Hong Kong dollars, and the average worker did not even have 80 Hong Kong dollars. The exchange rate of 6.1 U.S. dollars in Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars in 1200 was more than [-], and a Walkman cost more than [-] Hong Kong dollars.

Ordinary workers in Hong Kong cannot afford one with a month's salary, but for Sony, it was very successful and sold 150 million units worldwide.

One unit costs US$199, and the sales volume of 150 million units is equivalent to US$3 million in sales. Even after deducting costs and agency fees, it can earn more than US$1 million.

How could Lei Liquan let go of such a huge profit.

In early July, Lei Liquan came to the Orange Technology R&D Center.

Start by hearing about home console sales.

Since Wang Xingfa, who is in charge of sales, is developing markets abroad, he will report to Huo Haiqing today.

"Leisheng, the current agency price of home game consoles is HKD 610 ex-Hong Kong. The wholesale price in Xiangjiang is HKD 700 and the retail price is HKD 800. Cassettes are HKD 60 per box. The market has been hot for two months since its release, with total shipments reaching 10 million units, with total sales of HK$7300 million and profit of HK$3000.”

"Yes, the cost will be recovered soon." Lei Liquan was very happy and grabbed another cash cow. He remembered that RB, a family game console, sold a total of 6000 million units. What was this concept?

"Liu Sheng, is there no difficulty in giving birth?"

"Leisheng, I have prepared a four-story workshop for production. If we work in two shifts a day, we can produce 24 units in 800 hours. At present, I only produce in the day shift." Liu Changhai was very motivated after being promoted to factory director.

"Well, that's right. After the natural fermentation of the market, I believe there will be a sales climax soon. All departments must cooperate fully, and the special procurement department must not fall behind."

"Understood, Lei Sheng, we have dedicated personnel to keep an eye on each of our procurement projects." Li Zicai, who is in charge of procurement, replied.

"Well. Now that we have money, it's time to build our industrial park. The production base of an industrial building is a bit small. Manager Huo, you can implement this yourself."

Lei Liquan must have taken the opportunity to enclose a piece of land. Having land in Xiangjiang is not a bad thing.

"Understood, Lei Sheng."

"He Sheng's R&D center must also strengthen its R&D capabilities and maintain good interaction with various universities in Hong Kong. It can even train talents in a targeted manner. You can decide how to operate it."

"Okay." He Guoyuan.

"That's all beforehand."

After Lei Liquan finished speaking, he took out a cassette recorder and placed it on the conference table, and continued: "He Sheng, I have found a new project for you."

"Leisheng wants us to develop tape drives?" He Guoyuan saw Lei Liquan coming up with such a big thing.

After hearing what he said, Lei Liquan smiled and asked: "The space inside this thing is quite large, right? By compressing the space and replacing the speakers with smaller ones, can it become much smaller?" He Guoyuan He nodded as an answer.

Lei Liquan continued: "Of course, this is not enough. It must be as small as possible. And the appearance must be beautiful. I am wondering if it is possible to use a data cable to connect the speaker externally like a home game console. To be carried on the head.”

Lei Liquan gestured on his head to look like he had seen earphones in later generations.

This surprised everyone sitting here. This is another genius invention.Everyone nodded in praise.

He Guoyuan was even more impressed. After recovering from his surprise, he immediately said: "Don't worry Lei Sheng. I will immediately set up a project research team and we will definitely come up with a product that satisfies Lei Sheng."

"Well, I feel very relieved about He Sheng's work. I hope good news will spread as soon as possible." Lei Liquan expressed his affirmation of He Guoyuan and also made a request.

After the meeting, Lei Liquan chatted with Huo Haining about his vision for the industrial park.

"Manager Huo, the industrial park has to be built. You should immediately arrange for people to go to Shatin or Tai Po to look for industrial land and propose the purchase to Government G. Of course it would be better if the land is larger. I plan to have at least three industrial buildings and one R&D building, a staff dormitory." Lei Liquan explained.

"Lei Sheng, this expenditure is quite large. I'm afraid it will drag down the company's development." Huo Haiqing knew that Lei Liquan might adjust the company's funds at any time.

"This industrial park was not built in a day. Now that we have the cash cow of game consoles, there is no need to worry." Lei Liquan certainly understood what Huo Haiqing was thinking.

"Well, Lei Sheng, I will immediately arrange for people to find the land."

Lei Liquan is quite satisfied with Huo Haiqing's performance. Under his management, he has basically become the hands-off boss of Orange Technology Company.

Compared with real estate development, Lei Liquan actually values ​​​​Jiezi Technology more. Only technology can truly strengthen oneself. Real estate development is a group of "local leopards". Only by engaging in industry can we truly enrich the people and strengthen the G. Like a certain person in the previous life, the Chinese have no People don’t praise.And no one in a certain big Chinese family didn't curse.

Why Lei Liquan launched the "CD" three-year R&D plan was not to reserve technology, talents and lock in future profit sources.

Although Xiangjiang is not suitable for establishing large-scale production bases, there is no problem as a global R&D center.

Then, do your best to master some of the stuck projects.The worst case scenario is that if I don’t travel in the future, I will just become a country bum.

Technology is the primary productive force!
After coming from Orange Technology, Lei Liquan found that his mood had become "sentimental" and was not suitable for returning to the company to handle work, so he returned directly to his home in Deep Water Bay.

Li Yanzhen was already pregnant, and her belly was getting bigger day by day. In order not to affect the mood of the pregnant woman, Lei Liquan used his hands to soften his face a few times before getting out of the car, and he even smiled silly a few times.

When Li Liquan saw Lei Liquan coming home so early, she greeted him with a smile and changed his shoes.I am truly blessed to have found such a "understanding" woman as my wife.

The two of them sat down on the deck chair in the yard and chatted. They talked about what they should prepare for the baby to be born in two or three months.What name should I choose?
Li Yanzhen actually knew that Lei Liquan had another woman outside, but she didn't quarrel, make trouble, or argue.

Because in this era of wealthy people in Xiangjiang, who doesn’t raise young children, they could have had several wives in the early years.

After all, Lei Liquan is a reborn person, a humble gentleman, and he feels a little bit sorry in his heart.

I have decided that no matter how busy I am in the future, I should run my home with my heart; no matter how tiring my life is, I should water my home with affection; no matter how fast the pace is, I should nourish my home with love; no matter how many things I have to do, I should take time to feel the beauty of my home. .

　Brothers, due to a job change recently, I need to return to Hunan from Shenyang and need to pack my bags.Try to reach 6000 words as much as possible, but there is no problem in guaranteeing 4000 words.Thank you all for your subscriptions, rewards, monthly votes, and recommendation votes. I have nothing to repay, so I can only thank you!
