first went to Ningbo, and then Yang Dongxu flew to Shenzhen. Although I didn't want to pay attention to these people because I was angry, business still had to be done, and Ye Rongrong called him, and the mass-produced MP3 was finally offline. So you can also show off when these foreigners are interested in recording equipment.

To be honest, after seeing MP3s about the same size as lighters in later generations, Yang Dongxu couldn't find any beauty in the MP3 products in his hand at all.

The boxy one is bigger than the cigarette case, not to mention, plus a charger of similar size, how inconvenient it looks, and the MP3 that can be casually put in the pocket in the future is not comparable at all.

But this MP3 is undoubtedly the most advanced in the world, not only can you listen to the radio on a regular basis, but also the number of downloads of 20 songs is definitely not comparable to that of a cassette tape. Nowadays, disc technology continues to develop, and a disc can record about 12 songs and be full.

Although this occupies most of the space with a song and a video screen in the CD, this product in front of me is really awesome, with an external battery, that is, a power bank, it can last for six hours in a row, which feels better than a mobile phone.

What's more, the mobile battery can be used repeatedly, and it will run out of power after listening to it for a day. Go home at night and charge it, and you can take it and listen to it the next day. It's not like a stationary battery, which can only be thrown away and re-bought after use.

The battery that can be compared with the mobile phone battery is certainly not cheap, and the overall cost of MP3 production price has reached more than 300 US dollars, which is nearly 2500 yuan at the current exchange rate, which is just the production cost.

Of course, this is the production price of the highest configuration, and the production cost of the low configuration ranges from $100 to the maximum $300.

But according to Yang Dongxu's idea, if you price it according to at least double the profit, the price of a full set of MP3 will basically start at $700, after all, you have to remove staff fees and transportation costs, as well as profits for dealers, etc.

700 US dollars is nearly 5,000 yuan, and you can buy a low-profile version of Motorola if you scrape it together. This year, Motorola produced the world's first flip phone, which sold for more than 40,000 yuan and nearly 50,000 yuan in China.

Although this flip phone is much smaller than the previous big brother, it is still bulky and ugly in Yang Dongxu's eyes, and it is crazy to have a 50,000 yuan each, but this is not something that anyone can buy if they want to. Compared to this thing, he would rather buy Ericsson, which looks like a straight board machine in later generations.

However, this year, Nokia suddenly rose, and the emergence of this giant that has attracted the attention of the world for more than ten years. Undoubtedly, it has caused a huge impact on the mobile phone market.

So Motorola also began to pay attention to the importance of low-cost and cost-effective mobile phones, so some time ago it launched a mobile phone of about 6000, that is, the power of the nickel battery is a little small, and the others are fine. Yang Dongxu said that an MP3 is equivalent to a mobile phone, and the price is this.

"That's it, contact foreign VCD dealers, we price 720 US dollars for the top configuration, how much they sell according to different situations, the first batch of the main production of the top configuration, the first version and the second batch of production. Although there are all kinds of dissatisfaction, Yang Dongxu also knows that this can only be the case at present.

"How many units are there in the first batch?" Hearing Yang Dongxu's affirmative answer, Ye Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, seriously, when MP3 was really converted from the laboratory into a product, after seeing the finished product, she really couldn't put it down, it felt too powerful.

But this kind of surprise, as well as the expectation that the product will sell well. was a little apprehensive by Yang Dongxu's disgusted look just now, but in the end, it was still ready for mass production as expected. As for Yang Dongxu's dissatisfaction, she is not surprised that her boss has always been very demanding anyway.

"Let's get 10,000 units out and test the water first. ”

"Isn't it a little too much?" "I also want to produce it in large quantities, and I think the product will definitely sell well. But the production of 10,000 finished products at once still made Ye Rongrong's heart a little drumming.

Even in recent years, it can be regarded as taking Dongxu Technology to fight in the south and north, and even expanding in overseas markets. Foreigners call it one of the most successful businesswomen after China's reform and opening up, but the production cost of this thing is indeed too high.

The launch is 10,000 units, which is a cost squeeze of 3 million US dollars, and when converted into RMB......

"That's all, our main focus is on overseas markets. This thing sounds scary when converted to RMB, but there are a lot of rich people in gringos. A thousand dollars less is not a lot of pressure for them. It's just to endure the old phone and continue to use it, and don't change to a new phone for the time being. ”

Compared with Ye Rongrong's worries, Yang Dongxu obviously knows very well what kind of hot market an epoch-making product will expand. Put MP3 in the overseas market, just like Apple in the domestic market back then, and the fryer will not worry about selling.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, some advertising is still required. Therefore, some celebrities' endorsement fees have to be removed from the cost, so that the profit will be reduced, which makes him a little unhappy.

"By the way, it's okay to upgrade the product, right?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Since the establishment of Dongxu Technology, what Yang Dongxu wants to build is a brand, so things can not be sold at a high price. For example, in order to stabilize VCD customers, they provided free upgrade activities after sales, which has also become a killer feature for brand building and combating piracy.

In fact, the so-called upgrading, there are not many things to change, and even many parts of the VCD do not need to be replaced before, just turn on some blocked functions.

Since it is a high-end MP3The quality of the hardware is definitely no problem,The so-called replacement is actually when the mobile hard disk is updated,Expand the capacity of the MP3 sold before,There is basically no big problem with others。

If you wait until all the hardware is going to be updated, then it's time for a real product update. When the time comes, when new products are launched, these old users will not feel the pit, but feel that Dongxu Technology is very benevolent, and the product can be used for so long. Buying electronic products is equivalent to depreciation, and foreigners have long been used to being destroyed and are not afraid of him.

"No problem, all the hardware is configured according to your requirements. Ye Rongrong nodded.

For Yang Dongxu's idea of building his own electronic product brand, Ye Rongrong is undoubtedly very supportive. No one wants their products to be big-road goods, and international brands are a little excited when they think about it.

"That's good. Yang Dongxu put his things on the table, "I heard that you signed up for cram school?"

Compared with the first time Wu Aibing took Ye Rongrong back to Yanjing to meet her parents, that slightly capable but youthful girl. Now Ye Rongrong is already an absolute strong woman.

Her long hair is coiled at the back of her head to expose the neck of the show, and her slightly plump figure is wrapped under professional attire, exuding the charm of a mature woman. Although she is 6 years younger than Wu Aibing, she is only 35 this year, which is not considered her age. But over the years, dealing with various international businessmen, even the dispatch of tens of millions of funds, so that at the age of 35, she has the momentum of other successful men who are more successful than him.

"The bigger the company does, if everything goes well after the 3 listing, Dongxu Technology will not have much to do within half a year, and I will also need to recharge. Ye Rongrong took a sip of the coffee in her hand and said with a smile.

There are no EMBA business schools now, and although the post-70s entrepreneurs are rising, most of them are still struggling. Therefore, it will take a few years for business schools and various diplomas to become popular. Therefore, Ye Rongrong can only apply for some cram schools now to achieve the purpose of charging.

"What about charging?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.

A group of people under him, except for those researchers in the research room, some of them are constantly learning and doing research. Ye Rongrong, a senior executive at other companies, was the first executive to propose to learn to recharge, which made him intrigued.

"Business management. Ye Rongrong replied affirmatively.

Yang Dongxu nodded silently: "Just have a goal, if you feel that it is inconvenient to study in China, when you are busy for a while, you can go abroad to study." When the time comes, let my sister arrange a teacher for you. ”

When people who don't understand enterprise management are mentioned, their first reaction is: Isn't it just to manage people, what is there to learn? Isn't it enough to direct them to work?

This is obviously just a little superficial cognition, although the real enterprise management has the management of people, that is, human resource management, but this is not the whole of enterprise management.

Even human resource management that you think is simply managing people includes corporate human resource strategy formulation, employee recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation management, employee turnover management, employee relationship management, employee safety and health management, etc.

Therefore, the content that needs to be learned in enterprise management is naturally not as simple as a simple manager, but also includes human resources, projects, funds, technology, markets, information, equipment and technology, operations and processes, and so on.

As a manager, you don't have to be proficient in these things, but at least you have to know. To understand what kind of person is responsible for something, it's not just OK to go up one person in a position.

"I also think so, compared with the management of domestic enterprises, foreign experience is indeed more advanced. Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

"Okay, when will you start charging and tell me, I'll give you leave. Just after a while, Huaxiu has stabilized, and I will help manage it here of Dongxu Technology. Before you go over, take a few days off to accompany Brother Wu, otherwise as soon as you go abroad, he will tell me to transfer his daughter-in-law's group. Yang Dongxu teased.

Although he is not used to the superior face of foreigners, he is indeed not angry because of anger. He also admits that he is backward and developed, and he has no opinion at all if he wants to learn good things and go abroad.

"Well, I will. I miss my son too. When it came to her son, Ye Rongrong, the strong woman's face showed a hint of maternal tenderness.

In the past few years, because the company has developed too fast, neither she nor Wu Aibing has a way to accompany her son more. What is also important is that Wu Aibing's mother has slowly adjusted her body after the living conditions have improved, and her spirit is better after she has her eldest grandson, so she can help take care of it, otherwise their children can only be given to their parents.

"It's better for children to accompany them more, although Brother Wu's current job is running around, it is not the same as before, and it is okay to come to Shenzhen to work. Otherwise, you can take the old people over and settle down in Shenzhen, which happens to be at the forefront of reform and opening up, and the education is not bad, and the climate in the south is also suitable for the elderly to come and retire. Yang Dongxu touched his nose awkwardly and didn't say he didn't know, but he really felt a little sorry for these two people.

"Aibing and I both think so, although the two of us are always on business, we are still able to take care of our family most of the time. But my mother was a little reluctant, saying that she had lived in Yanjing all her life, and she didn't want to move when she was old. said that if her body collapsed and died outside one day, she was afraid that she would not be able to find her way home, who had never been far away. Mentioning her mother-in-law, Ye Rongrong also showed a guilty look on her face.

Compared with the husband and children of ordinary women, she obviously has her own career, and it is her parents' parents who have opinions in this regard, feeling that their daughter's heart is too wild and afraid that her husband's family will have opinions.

But her husband and mother-in-law fully support her, Wu Aibing loves her, and basically supports everything she wants to do. And the mother-in-law feels that her son is older, and her daughter-in-law is five or six years old, and being able to marry such a capable daughter-in-law is simply an ancestor who has accumulated virtue and naturally spoiled her. I am tired of taking my grandson by myself, and I never complain about anything.

"You don't have to live permanently, you can take advantage of the child's vacation or something to come over and play or something. It is necessary to adapt to the southern life of the elderly and children in advance, and then they will not settle down. ”

Hearing Ye Rongrong say that she was her mother-in-law, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but think of her parents. Now there is a lack of popularity in the big courtyard, in fact, he wants his parents to live in Yanjing in advance to adapt to the life of the big city and prepare for the retirement in the future.

Even if the air in Yanjing is not good in the future, it is not bad to go to Shanghai after adapting, or simply go to Sanya to settle down and retire. But this matter is obviously very difficult to do, just like the reason that Old Man Xuan prefers to stay in the countryside and not return to Yanjing now. What you think is good, they may not necessarily like it.
