Duan Yun still has 3 million US dollars in foreign exchange retained, and the money he exchanged at the beginning was naturally not to put it in the bank to eat interest, but to introduce a video recorder production line.

In addition to introducing video recorder production lines from Japan, Duan Yun also wants to buy some technologies with high commercial value through some international exhibitions for his company's future development.

In fact, if Duan Yun is just for the development of the domestic market, then he doesn't need to participate in any exhibitions at all, he only needs to select one from some manufacturers who are willing to sell second-hand video recorder production lines through foreign trade companies, and directly introduce them to China for installation, commissioning and production, but Duan Yun's eyes are not only on the domestic market, its ultimate goal is the international market.

When CES was first founded, it wasn't a professional show, but a part of the Chicago Music Show, which was kind of an ancillary event. The address of the first exhibition was not Chicago or Vegas, but the Hilton and Americana hotels in New York, at that time, the influence was average, there were only 14 manufacturers, and today we are familiar with Motorola, LG, Philips, so the first opening guest was Bob Gavin of Motorola.

But after entering the seventies and eighties, CES appeared a lot of world-changing technologies, including video recorders, laser discs, Nintendo game consoles, Tetris and 3D printers and a series of epoch-making products at that time, which can be said to be the "Oscar" of the electronic product industry.

In fact, exhibitions like CES, in addition to some of the world's well-known manufacturers will participate, there are also some small technology start-ups in the United States will also participate, although they do not have the technical strength of large companies, but some technologies have a very strong market potential, VCD digital transcoding technology was created by a small company in the United States, the first time to participate in the exhibition did not attract much attention, but later became an epoch-making technology that changed the electronics industry.

These small companies lack funds, and they also hope to attract investment or be directly purchased by large manufacturers by participating in such exhibitions, but after all, there are still a few people who have worked, and most of the technologies are ultimately unpopular because of the lack of market commercial value, and they are drowned in the torrent of the times.

Therefore, in Duan Yun's view, sometimes it takes some luck to participate in such an exhibition, just like picking up leaks in the antique market, things that many people don't look down on are actually valuable, but some people don't realize their value.

Duan Yun has always had a dream, that is, to be able to set up a world-class product technology research and development center, to attract the world's top talents to join, but this dream is still relatively far away, not just money can be done, many of the world's top talents in addition to the salary, they also pay attention to the scientific research atmosphere, living environment, many people are pursuing a high-quality life, and these are currently not available in China.

Therefore, in Duan Yun's plan, he may establish a research and development center abroad in the future, which is also a strategy adopted by many multinational companies, in order to attract some top scientific and technological talents who are not willing to leave their hometowns.

"What is the International Consumer Electronics Show?" asked Cheng Qingyan with some curiosity.

Compared with Duan Yun, Cheng Qingyan's vision is not so broad, she has always focused her energy and attention on the domestic market, and does not attach too much importance to the development of the international electronics industry, because at present, most of the sales market of Tianyin Electronics Factory is in China, and the only one that can contact the international market is the Canton Fair in spring and autumn.

"This exhibition is currently the world's largest exhibition of electronic technology products, where we can see the latest and most advanced electronic products in the world, and we are not going to produce repeaters at the end of the year? Some key chip parts cannot be produced in China, and can only be purchased through the international market. Duan Yun said.

"Then how long are you going to go?" asked Cheng Qingyan.

"Combined with the time it takes to get to and from the plane, I estimate it will take a week. Duan Yun thought for a moment and said.

"Oh well. Hearing Duan Yun say that he only needed to go for a week, Cheng Qingyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't care if Duan Yun could really discover any new technologies at the exhibition, because the Walkman would be launched in large quantities at the end of April, and with Duan Yun by her side, her heart would be a lot more steady.

"Take me to the new workshop. When Duan Yun was in Beijing, he learned that the production line of the new train room had been installed and debugged and had entered the production stage, so he wanted to see how the new students were doing.

Then the two walked to the workshop of the new factory together.

The new factory covers an area of 60 acres, with three rows of new workshops, two of which are assembly workshops, and the other is a dust-free workshop, and the three production lines in the dust-free workshop, including 6 plug-in machines, have all been debugged.

When Duan Yun entered the assembly workshop, he saw that all the workers inside were already in place and were busy in their respective stations.

"These workers are all newly recruited, and many of them are not very skilled in the process. Cheng Qingyan pointed to the production line on the left side of the factory with his hand, and said: "The wages of our factory have always been higher than other small and medium-sized electronics factories in Shenzhen, so correspondingly, my requirements for them are also relatively high, now every worker in the factory has their own production number, I only give them a week's time, if the time can not reach the specified output or assemble too many substandard products, you can go directly, I will not sign an employment contract with them, the elimination rate is about 30% ......"

"Elimination rate of three percent?" Duan Yun was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the elimination rate of production line workers to be so high.

"Some female workers are born to work fast, and others can't learn no matter how they teach, which is also a matter of talent, our production line is limited, and if you want to improve production efficiency, you can only use the best workers. Cheng Qingyan said.

"If the elimination rate is so high, can we guarantee that we will recruit all qualified workers?" Duan Yun asked.

"There are a lot of workers who come to Shenzhen to work now, and if you recruit 10 workers, there may be 1,000 people to apply, so you don't have to worry about not being able to recruit people. Cheng Qingyan's face was relaxed, and then said: "Now the workers are fine, which factory gives more money they will go, now the wage level of our factory is already very high in Shenzhen, some workers still jump from other factories, since the workers pick us, of course we can also pick workers, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can leave, I have already said ugly things in front before." ”

"Wife, you are now a qualified capitalist!" Duan Yun said to his wife with a thumbs up.
