Chapter 14 Products that are behind the times

Sitting in a private room of a newly opened hotel in Jiangyin County, Zhang Jianjun returned from ordering, and took out Zhonghua to hand cigarettes to a few people, but everyone except himself did not smoke, so he simply pinched his cigarette and drank tea and chatted with everyone.

There were a total of seven people in the private room, except for Su Yuanshan and Qin Weimin and other four people, Zhang Jianjun only invited Wang Chaoxin and Pan Xiaojun, who had just been invited by Su Yuanshan to join Yuanxin.

The wine and food were quickly served, Zhang Jianjun poured wine for everyone as the host, and when he arrived in front of Su Yuanshan, Su Yuanshan covered the wine glass and smiled: "Thank you, Director Zhang, I won't drink." ”

Zhang Jianjun glanced at the wine bottle: "Then why don't you have some beer?"

"I still have to do things at night, senior brother to accompany you. Su Yuanshan knew that these senior brothers of his own had a bit of alcohol. In fact, he didn't drink badly, but he needed to stay awake, work overtime to prepare for the work at night, and then rush to Huajing Electronics in Xicheng to tape out.

Hearing that Su Yuanshan still had to work overtime, and he was not very old, Zhang Jianjun no longer insisted: "Then call the waiter for me to bring a bottle of Coke." ”

"No, no, I'll drink tea with everyone. ”

......

After the first round of wine, the topic gradually opened, and after Pan Xiaojun's explanation, Wang Chaoxin and Zhang Jianjun both admired Yuanxin's ability to develop software that was more powerful than foreigners, especially this software was closely related to their industry.

"Brother, thank you so much today. Zhang Jianjun poured Su Yuanshan full of tea, got up and raised his glass and said, "Come, brother toast you." ”

"It's a gesture. Su Yuanshan stood up and said with a smile: "I'll replace wine with tea, don't mind Brother Zhang." ”

After Zhang Jianjun drank his wine glass and sat down, he sighed: "Brother doesn't know. Our factory has been shut down for too long, and if we don't start work again, we won't be able to open the pot again. ”

This word "again" aroused Su Yuanshan's curiosity: "Is Brother Zhang's factory restructured?"

Since the 80s, the four special zones have begun to try to reform the shareholding system of enterprises, but it is far less turbulent than the wave of restructuring after 92. For example, the Jiangyin factory will be reorganized and renamed next year, and Wang Chaoxin will be at the helm.

"No, it's not contracted...... I guess it's a rent. Zhang Jianjun smiled bitterly and introduced his situation to Su Yuanshan.

It turns out that Zhang Jianjun's current factory is called Jiangyin Radio Factory, a 30-year-old state-owned enterprise under Jiangyin County, which has been losing money in recent years, and has now stopped production for nearly a year, and its workers' wages have been in arrears for half a year. As a family member and child of the radio factory, Zhang Jianjun has a lot of affection for this factory. So after making money on the South Island, he came back, thinking about saving the factory, at least let his father and fellow villagers get some wages.

This idea of individual heroism is good, but the reality is brutal. After trying all kinds of ways to get the right to operate and manage the factory, he had the idea to build a shell factory, and then hired and rented the workers and machinery and equipment in the factory.

In this way, the government can get rid of the burden and still have money, and the workers can get their wages and retain the establishment, which can be described as a win-win situation.

Because it is the nature of "renting", starting work one day late on Zhang Jianjun's side means losing one day.

After listening to Zhang Jianjun's introduction, Su Yuanshan was a little silent.

He knew what Zhang Jianjun was thinking...... It's a bit wishful thinking. Even with his improved design, under the general trend, the cassette recorder, which has been born for decades even in China, is really behind the times.

"I didn't expect Director Zhang to be quite chivalrous, come and I'll toast you!"

Seeing that Su Yuanshan was silent, Qin Weimin over there smiled slightly, stood up and raised his glass.

Zhang Jianjun also hurriedly got up and clinked glasses: "Master Qin, you are the most chivalrous, I was a socialist wool a few years ago." ”

Hearing these four words, Su Yuanshan smiled after being silent for a moment, stared at Zhang Jianjun and asked, "Brother Zhang, I don't know if you did market research before deciding to make a tape recorder?"

Zhang Jianjun nodded: "Yes, I have observed all the way back from Nandao, and found that there is still a market for the tape recorder market in the countryside." In particular, there is still considerable potential for mining in the rural areas in remote mountainous areas. ”

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and said, "I don't know much about the market, especially the traditional market. But there is one point, which may require Brother Zhang to change his thinking. ”

Zhang Jianjun was stunned: "Oh?

At this time, Wang Chaoxin, who was chatting with Tian Yaoming, also turned his head to look at Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan slowly turned the teacup: "The current market is no longer like the single demand market to promote products in the past. To put it simply, in the past, people wanted to eat vegetables and meat, so we planted vegetables and raised pigs. It is said that you can't buy meat, so you can raise more pigs. ”

"And with the advancement of technology, there will be many markets that we have not yet touched. If you make something that the people think can be used, it can be used, and it is easy to use, and this is the product dominating the market. For example, Big Brother, pagers, and even the previous televisions and tape recorders are actually the products of technology - did the ancients have these needs?"

"I'm in technology, and I know how fast technology is developing right now. There is a Moore's law in the computer industry, which says that in two years at most, the performance of a computer will be doubled, and this law has been realized in the past ten years. And not only the computer performance, but also the performance and architecture of the entire computer-related semiconductor industry will be improved accordingly. ”

"Brother Wang may have a deep understanding of this. Jiangyin factory is also an old factory, from the single transistor made before to the current integrated chip, how many times do you say it has doubled?"

Wang Chaoxin glanced at Su Yuanshan deeply, then looked back at Zhang Jianjun, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhang, you and I haven't had much contact with you before, and you also have enthusiasm, so I can't hit you." In fact, I have a similar point of view as Xiao Su, and the tape recorder has no future. ”

Zhang Jianjun was stunned, and when he saw that everyone present nodded in unison, he suddenly panicked.

On this table, the lowest is also a secondary school student, and only he is a junior high school student. Although he made a lot of money, it was money from speculating in houses, as long as he was bold and lucky. Isn't it because he is afraid of the real estate bubble in the South Island that he wants to find a stable way to make money?

Zhang Jianjun pulled Su Yuanshan to sit beside him, he looked around, and finally stopped at Su Yuanshan: "That...... What to do?"

Pan Xiaojun, who was on the side, finally interjected leisurely: "It's better to do anything than to be a cassette recorder, and the Walkman portable player is a good direction." ”

Su Yuanshan was a little surprised by this guy's gaze again, and he nodded: "That's right, if you insist on doing playback related music, then make a Walkman." Of course, if you want to...... You can also work with us and build pagers with us. ”

Yuanxin's pager, Su Yuanshan plans to find someone to set up a joint venture factory in SZ or SH - as long as he comes up with a Chinese prototype, he will not worry about no one cooperating at all.

But today, after taking a look at the situation in Jiangyin, and after a general understanding, I feel that Jiangyin is also a good place.

In later generations, Shenzhen, Dongguan and these electronic cities were also developed later, and Jiangyin and even Wuxi have always been the center of the integrated circuit industry.

Zhang Jianjun was a little dazed: "Pager?"

"To be precise, it is a pager that can accept Chinese information. The screen display chip I designed for you is one of the few small chips we came to tape out this time. ”

Saying that, Su Yuanshan looked at Wang Chaoxin: "From the decoding chip of the pager to the coding chip of the transmitter, they are all patented products independently designed by our Yuanxin. I'm sorry, Brother Wang. I was going to tell you about it tomorrow. ”

The chopsticks of the novice of the dynasty fell to the ground.
