Chapter 114: Achilles' heel
Zhou Shanshan on the side also silently remembered Li Feng's words in her heart, and drank this bowl of poisonous chicken soup unconsciously.
Zhou Shanshan thought to herself that her father didn't know where to go at this time, and he should have listened to Li Feng's analysis just now, which might be of great benefit to the future development of Paper Communication Technology.
Lin Yuting frowned, reached out and pinched Li Feng.
Li Feng, a stinky boy, actually taught Deng Wentao that if Deng Wentao listened to Li Feng's strategy and really shifted his business focus to the MP3 field, so that he could make more money, this kid would be even more embarrassed in the future. Therefore, Lin Yuting was very dissatisfied with Li Feng's behavior.
"Hmph, even if you pay for a patent license, the cost is within a manageable range. Although Deng Wentao was very convinced, he was still tough, "And in the construction of the next generation of mobile communication networks, my country is also striving to formulate its own standards." And the MP3 you are talking about is just a gadget, which can be compared to the production of mobile phones?"
Although Deng Wentao is a swinger, as the vice president of Jiahe Electronics' mobile phone division, he still has vision, at least what he says is not amateurish at all.
But having said that on the surface, in his heart, Deng Wentao was still touched by Li Feng's words.
In 2001, the price of an MP3 could reach more than 600 yuan, and high-end foreign brand MP3 often cost 1,000 yuan.
From the perspective of profit alone, making MP3 is indeed much more affordable than making mobile phones, as Li Feng said, MP3 does not have so many complicated patent authorizations, it is relatively simple to make, and the production cycle and production cost are lower than that of mobile phones.
And from the analysis of consumers' desire to buy, the MP3 market is actually not smaller than the mobile phone market, and even exceeds the mobile phone market to a certain extent. In this era, middle school students rarely buy mobile phones, and even college students, only some people from relatively good families have mobile phones.
But MP3 is different, because the price is lower than that of mobile phones, and the demand for listening to songs is both middle school students and college students, and it will not affect learning, and parents' resistance to their children's purchase of MP3 is far less than that of mobile phones.
Because of this, if you make efforts in the MP3 field, you may really be able to usher in a wave of opportunities.
"Yes, we should increase investment and take MP3 as the main business direction in the future!" Thinking of this, Deng Wentao felt inexplicably excited, if he told his father Deng Liangcai about this idea, maybe he could get his praise.
Last time because of a serious traffic accident caused by drag racing, my father was already quite angry with him, and even threatened to deprive him of the position of deputy general manager of the mobile phone division, starting from a low-level employee.
The reason why Lao Deng asked him to come to Xianhu City to participate in the Information Economy Summit Forum was to open his eyes, and secondly, he hoped that he could take this opportunity to find business opportunities and atone for his crimes.
Lin Yuting coughed lightly twice, reached out and grabbed Li Feng, her soft and warm little hand seemed to be particularly strong: "The air here is so stuffy, go out for a walk with me!"
Li Feng was grabbed by her and left the seat.
"Hey, this little girl has really learned some karate, and her strength is really not small!" Li Feng was secretly shocked in his heart.
She was also straightforward and fast-talking, and if she really wanted to tell Deng Wentao her insights, she had to pull him away as soon as possible, lest Deng Wentao suddenly open his mind and really understand the new business direction.
"Hey, I'm going to get some breath too. Zhou Shanshan hurriedly followed.
Long Yuwu, who was left behind, smiled to himself and continued to silently digest Qi Yuntai's keynote report just now.
Walking out of the conference hall, there are still people coming one after another, but there are no seats in the hall anymore, many people in order not to miss such a grand event, even put a small bench to sit outside, listening to the report in the hall, this seriousness, really admirable.
Lin Yuting was angry, her hands were crossed on her hips, and her small mouth was pouted: "Li Feng, I originally thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be a big fool! Just now you revealed such an important insight to Deng Wentao, didn't you let him take the lead?"
"Yes, Li Feng, the MP3 field is also a major development direction of my father's company in the future. Zhou Shanshan followed behind Lin Yuting, for the same reason, "If Jiahe Electronics really makes efforts in the MP3 field, my dad's Paper Communication Technology may not be their opponent." This Deng Wentao is unlearned, but the company is very strong, as long as he orders it, maybe he can really make some achievements. ”
Seeing the two beauties complaining to him in unison, Li Feng just smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you two. I just said this, of course, I have a reason, you really mean that I am telling the truth? Shanshan, I'll tell you the truth. Your dad's company must not touch the MP3 field and concentrate on making mobile phones. ”
"Why? The mobile phone industry is really too competitive, it's not easy to do. Zhou Shanshan said puzzled.
"Do you want to buy Jiahe Electronics and let Deng Wentao bow down to your father?" Li Feng said, "If you want to, you must concentrate on making mobile phones, and you can't touch the minefield of MP3." ”
"What do you mean, MP3 is not a promising field?" asked Lin Yuting with a wink.
Li Feng nodded: "Yes, although MP3 has a huge market demand, there is an Achilles heel. ”
"What Achilles' heel?" Zhou Shanshan asked eagerly.
"It's because it's a single function and it's so easy to integrate. In other words, with the development of technology, MP3 will soon be transformed from a hardware device into a simple software, integrated into more systematic electronic devices such as mobile phones. Li Feng explained, "So there will be no such device as MP3 in the future, and it will soon be eliminated by the torrent of technology." ”
Zhou Shanshan nodded slowly, as if she had a feeling of sudden realization: "You are very reasonable, it is said that well-known foreign mobile phone manufacturers have begun to incorporate the MP3 function into their mobile phones." ”
"Yes, so even though the market demand for MP3 is huge, people don't need a hardware device, maybe an MP3 playback software integrated into the mobile phone system is more convenient for them. Li Feng said, "So the market opportunity period of MP3 is three to five years, and then it will soon be integrated with other systems and become an ancillary function." ”
Li Feng said this politely, because he has not mentioned that the American giant Apple has intervened in the MP3 field and produced an epoch-making classic iPod. If this factor is superimposed, the market space for MP3 is even narrower.
"Okay, Li Feng, you are really a thief, you are going to bring Deng Wentao into the ditch. Lin Yuting said with a smile.
"It's good to know, don't be too loud. Li Feng put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a "don't speak" gesture.
"Hehe, it's still our little handsome guy who is the smartest, I love you to death!" Zhou Shanshan couldn't wait to immediately pounce on Li Feng and give Li Feng a big hug.
Fortunately, Lin Yuting found the clue and pulled Zhou Shanshan from behind in time, this flowery radish really can't relax her vigilance for a moment.
At the same time, at the venue, Qi Yuntai's keynote speech has ended and entered the break.
Many people got up one after another and began to talk with the entrepreneurs around them, and many media reporters also started interviewing them.
When Deng Wentao saw Li Feng and the others going out, he didn't follow them, but immediately took out his mobile phone and called his father Deng Liangcai, who was far away in Guangdong.
"Dad, this summit forum is indeed very good. Deng Wentao said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Through the communication with some entrepreneurs, I saw a good development direction of electronic products." ”
"Oh? Deng Liangcai said.
Deng Wentao told Deng Liangcai about the poisonous chicken soup theory he had just heard from Li Feng: "Dad, I think the direction of MP3 is very good, the production cycle and cost are lower than that of mobile phones, and the domestic market has broad prospects, so we might as well turn the direction of business assistance to MP3?"
Deng Liangcai listened to it and felt that it made some sense: "Well, MP3 is indeed a good direction, and our company also has two MP3 production lines, but it is just for Liguang Electronics to do OEM, and there is no MP3 brand of our own." ”
"Dad, why don't we upgrade the MP3 business to parallel to the mobile phone business and set up a new business division to build our MP3 brand of Jiahe Electronics. Deng Wentao said, "If we don't seize the opportunity, we will miss the next big explosion of the MP3 market." ”
"Well, yes, that's what you want. Deng Liangcai finally approved his son's suggestion.
