Chapter 1134: Stereotypes
The car drove all the way to the gate of the factory, and after getting out of the car, Duan Yun led Fujio Masuoka into the factory.
Fujio Masuoka is a technomaniac, in addition to his own technical research work, he usually pays little attention to the outside world, and occasionally goes abroad to attend some conferences, but mainly because of work.
After chatting with Fujio Masuoka for a while, Duan Yun felt that this person was actually a rather boring person, and he was very purposeful in doing things, and he didn't leave his job in three sentences, but he kept asking Duan Yun about the situation of the factory and what he used to buy their chips.
Before Fujio Masuoka came to China, his perception of China was only based on TV and newspaper reports, and he had the impression that China was an extremely backward country, and most people were still in a state of not having enough to eat.
In fact, in the mid-80s, people in Japan still have a relatively positive view of China, with the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States in 1976, the relationship between China and Japan has also entered the honeymoon period, 79 years *** to visit Japan, in Japan has also attracted a lot of attention, in the following years, there are many organizations such as the Sino-Japanese Friendship Association in Japan, and the two countries have entered a new era of cooperation since World War II.
But in general, most Japanese people must have some sense of superiority when facing the Chinese, including Fujio Masuoka, he doesn't think that Duan Yun's enterprise will be large, maybe it is simply a leather bag company.
Even if he came to China for inspection this time, he came with the mentality of a lottery, because in Fujio Masaioka's view, his flash memory chip technology has not attracted attention in European and American countries, and he really can't think of what kind of products Chinese companies can make with his technology.
"Mr. Fujio, please come and visit our production workshop. After entering the factory, Duan Yun led Fujita and the translator to the assembly workshop.
"Hey......"
As soon as he entered the workshop, Fujio Masuoka couldn't help but exclaim, a look of surprise on his face.
Of course, Fujio Masuoka didn't think how advanced this factory was, but Duan Yun's factory was completely different from what he had expected.
I remember that Fujio Masuoka saw a picture of a Chinese factory in a Japanese newspaper the year before last, it was a small and dark factory, and more than a dozen workers were operating very old machines in front of the machine tools, and the machines and the ground were full of filthy oil.
In addition, the Japanese news report also made some comments on Chinese enterprises, such as backward technical equipment, poor working environment, etc., and mentioned in the article that China's private enterprises are generally the size and appearance in the picture.
It is precisely because of that report that Fujio Masuoka's impression of China's private enterprises has always stayed in that picture, but after entering the factory today, I found that the environment here is very clean, the windows, the floor and the walls are almost dusty, and the workers are also wearing clean-grade uniforms and skillfully assembling products.
"What products do you mainly produce in this workshop now?" Fujio Masuoka asked as he turned his head to Duan Yun.
"We used to produce tape recorders, but we started in March this year, mainly producing Walkmans. Duan Yun smiled slightly, led Fujio Masuoka to a workstation, picked up a colorful walkman that had just been assembled, and said to him, "This is the product of our factory." ”
"You Chinese mainland have also started to produce Walkmans?" Fujio Masuoka was taken aback when he heard this, and took the Walkman from Duan Yun's hands.
Fujio knows that Japanese tape recorders are selling well in China, and he also knows that China now has a large market for tape recorders, and Japanese tape recorders have always been high-end products in Chinese mainland.
But the Walkman has actually appeared in Japan for just a few years, and at present, the Japanese Walkman is mainly based on Sony, and their products account for about 7% of the proportion in Japan and internationally, because the technical threshold is relatively high, so far, including European and American countries, have not begun to mass-produce the same small Walkman as Japan.
So when Fujio saw that Duan Yun's factory was actually producing Walkman, he was still very surprised in his heart, especially since Duan Yun's electronics factory was still only a private enterprise, and before that, Fujio even thought that there were no private enterprises in China.
"At present, we are the only one in China that produces Walkman products, and we must not be able to compare with you in Japan in terms ......of technology," Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "China's national consumption level is relatively low, but because of the large population, the market potential is very large, and less than 1% of the people who can afford the Walkman products produced by our factory are less than 1% of the country, but this is less than 1% of consumers, and the number of people is also tens of millions, as long as 1/10 of them buy, we can earn tens of millions of yuan in profits a month!"
"Is Duan Jun so powerful?" Hearing Duan Yun report this amount of profit, Fujio's eyes immediately widened.
"Your country's products are good, but the price is too high for our domestic ordinary consumers, few people can afford it, so there are many enterprises in your country have also come to our China joint venture factory, and the quality of the things produced must be poor, but because the cost is low and the price is cheap, and there are no tariffs, so the profit is still very good. ”
"I've heard about that, too. Fujio nodded.
Since Japan's home appliances entered the Chinese market in the 80s, sales and profits have been rising rapidly year by year, which has also made Japanese manufacturers pay more and more attention to the Chinese market.
In particular, Toshiba Company, where Tengwei is located, is the first batch of Japanese home appliance giants to enter the Chinese market, especially the phrase "steal, steal, Toshiba in the new era" advertising slogan is well known, Toshiba's tape recorders and color TVs have become high-end household appliances sought after by everyone in China.
Fujita is a technical freak, although he does not work in the marketing department, but he also learned that his company has indeed sold very well in China in the past two years, and even set up a Chinese marketing department to be responsible for the marketing of Toshiba products in the Chinese market.
Subsequently, at the request of Fujio Masuoka, Duan Yun asked the workers to disassemble a Walkman on the spot.
After seeing the parts of the movement motor and circuit board inside, Fujio Masuoka couldn't help but be amazed, from the perspective of the circuit board, Duan Yun's colorful Walkman and Japan's Sony Walkman, there is indeed a big gap, but considering that this is produced in a China where the level of industrial electronics is seriously backward, it is not easy to have such a quality and level.
"Which Japanese manufacturer of yours is copying from our Japanese manufacturer in this parlor?" asked Fujio Masuoka.
"In principle, it is based on Sony's Walkman, and the product is redesigned by ourselves. Duan Yun said.
