Chapter 915: A Sense of Crisis
This workshop looks a little old from the outside, obviously much earlier than the previous workshop was built, under the leadership of Asada Jiro, Duan Yun and the three of them came to this old workshop again.
Generally speaking, the place where some domestic factories store scrapped equipment will look very dirty and messy, but after entering this workshop, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu were surprised.
Like the workshop I visited before, it is also very clean, the assembly line in the middle is still in operation, and on the left side of the factory, there are seven or eight elderly workers operating the machines there, and the degree of automation is far less advanced than the previous workshop.
Through Asada Jiro's introduction, Duan Yun learned that the machines operated by these old workers were the old production lines ready for sale, which immediately attracted the attention of Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu.
It stands to reason that the elimination of production line equipment will generally be discontinued, but production is still maintained here, the domestic market is definitely not profitable, and the products produced may be used as parts for repairing old products, so the entire production line equipment is still running.
The degree of preservation of this production line made Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu very surprised, according to Asada Jiro, this production line has been running for more than 6 years, with the rapid competition in the Japanese electronics industry, this kind of production line should have been abandoned a long time ago, but from the appearance, the production line equipment is very well maintained, just like a new product that has just appeared for a long time, Duan Yun even saw two Japanese maintenance workers there one by one to oil the machine maintenance.
"Can we take a look at the products of this production line?" Duan Yun asked Jiro Asada through an interpreter.
"Yes, please come with me to the product warehouse. Taro Asada said politely.
Subsequently, Duan Yun and the three followed, and the day before yesterday they came to a warehouse located next to the workshop.
The quality of the assembly line can be concluded most conveniently and quickly by looking at the equipment he produces.
The products in the warehouse are stacked very neatly, and each shelf position is marked, with clear product name, production date, and quality inspection.
At present, Japan's tape recorder production is becoming more and more miniaturized, the emergence of Sony Walkman, leading a wave of new technological changes in Japan's domestic manufacturers, just now the new workshop is actually producing a mini small tape recorder, with many functions, good sound quality, easy to carry, has become a trend in the Japanese tape recorder market.
What Duan Yun saw in the warehouse of the old workshop were some more traditional products, and from the appearance, they were no different from the products produced in China, except for some small differences in design and function, the others were basically the same.
However, there is no doubt that the quality of Japanese-made tape recorders is good, in fact, they have sat on the top of the current tape recorders, which is inseparable from the craftsmanship spirit of Japanese companies.
However, the decline of the Japanese electronics industry after many years is not actually because of the quality of their products, but because they have chosen the wrong direction and taken the wrong path.
Japan has always paid close attention to analog technology, and predicted that digital technology would be expensive and difficult to popularize, so when the United States successfully interviewed with VCDs of digital technology, Japan was destined to fall behind. Starting point Chinese
Japan's strength is the combination of electronic technology and precision machinery, its electronics industry companies are large-scale, the supply chain is complete, the video recorder is the pinnacle of civilian products, if it were not for the impact of American digital technology, I am afraid that it will still be the world hegemon in the future.
But at present, Duan Yun also needs to introduce an electronic analog production line from Japan, take advantage of the popularity of the domestic home appliance market in recent years, make quick money for a period of time, and then turn to the research and development of digital technology products, such as VCD and DVD, digital cameras and other products, so as to start his own corner overtaking, the dream of becoming the world's top electronics company.
Subsequently, Jiro Asada disguised the performance of the tape recorder products produced by their old production line to Duan Yun and others.
In the past two years, Duan Yun still has a certain understanding of the performance of domestic tape recorder products, and in terms of sound quality, the sound effect of the tape recorder produced by Honjo Co., Ltd. sounds very clear, and the performance of similar products of domestic tape recorders is indeed better.
In addition, what attracted Duan Yun's attention was that the tape recorder motor produced by Honjo Co., Ltd. used an integrated circuit stabilizer, while most of the tape recorder products produced by domestic manufacturers used a mechanical speed stabilization motor, which was noisy, complex in structure, and poor in durability, which was also the biggest highlight of Duan Yun's discovery of the tape recorder products produced by Honjo Co., Ltd.
After visiting the factory, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu and translator Wang Liang were taken to the company's restaurant at noon.
During the meal, Asada had been trying his best to sell Duan Yun this second-hand production line of their factory, but because Duan Yun still had two factories to visit, he could not give him an official answer yet.
And Zhao Xuewu, who was sitting next to Duan Yun, became a little silent at this time, today's visit to the factory of Honjo Co., Ltd. touched his heart very much, and he seemed to have been thinking about something, and his expression was a little stagnant.
In the afternoon, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu and others came to visit the Butz Electronics Factory, and this visit also impressed Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu, especially the degree of automation and management mode of Japanese enterprises, which are far beyond the reach of domestic enterprises.
Back at the hotel in Tokyo in the evening, Zhao Xuewu took out the drawings he drew during his factory visit today, and carefully sorted them out and compared.
Today I visited two companies, tomorrow I will visit the last Japanese electronics factory, and then I may have another day to negotiate, and I can leave Japan and return to China the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
"Our country's electronics industry is too backward......" After sorting out the inspection data, Zhao Xuewu received it with emotion.
Although he has long known that Japan's electronics industry is developed, he did not expect that it has reached this level, which also makes Zhao Xuewu deeply feel the huge gap between the domestic electronics industry and Japan's advanced technology, and also makes him have a deep sense of crisis in the development of domestic electronics.
Even in Zhao Xuewu's view, he may not see the day when the domestic electronics industry surpasses Japan in his lifetime.
"We have to eat the food in one bite, and we have to walk little by little, but as long as we work down-to-earth, sooner or later we will reach or even surpass these little Japanese ones. Duan Yun said lightly, and then said: "Master Zhao, which of the two electronics factories do you think has the better production line today?"
"The production lines of these two are about the same, but from the maintenance of the equipment, I feel that the second-hand production line of the Butz electronics factory that I visited in the afternoon is better. Zhao Xuewu said to Duan Yun.
