Chapter 104: Targeted by giants
Rosemary frowned, a little puzzled: "I don't understand the technical side of things, but ...... The car audio system we modified was only started 10 days before the start of the Grand Prix, even if they don't know much about this, can they find an expert in home audio to do it?"
Rosemary really doesn't understand, as a manager, she doesn't understand the technical stuff at all, but she just thinks, even if these audio modification companies in the United States don't know much, but they will always follow the cat and the tiger, right?
"It's not the same thing, it's not the same thing at all," Chen Geng waved his hand and said: "The use environment and hardware requirements of the home audio system and the car audio system are completely different," Seeing that Rosemary seemed to be very interested in this thing, Chen Geng simply sat down: "First of all, one of the most basic requirements of the audio system is that the ambient noise of this system should be low when working, and it should be ......quiet enough."
"Well, I understand that." Rosemary nodded, if the surroundings are too noisy, it will definitely affect the effect, just a basic fact that everyone knows.
Chen Geng thought about it and decided to explain it to her: "Where is the use environment of the home audio system?" At home, the surrounding environment is generally relatively quiet, even if it is an apartment located in the urban area, you can get a relatively quiet space after closing the doors and windows, and you don't need to work sound insulation and noise reduction to get a good sense of hearing...... Of course, this is for audio enthusiasts in general, and those who are audiophiles are beyond the scope of our discussion...... Therefore, any set of home audio systems with an average price in the market can bring you a very good feeling.
But the car audio is completely different, when the audio system works, you are not only faced with the tire noise of the car itself, wind noise, road noise, engine and gearbox noise, as well as various noises on the surrounding roads, the premise of the car modification audio system, is to find a way to reduce the noise in the car environment, on this point, you can make these Americans addicted to mechanical modification, ignorant of audio modification guys blind;
The second problem faced after noise reduction,How to play the level and quality of hardware,Home audio is designed by manufacturers,How to match speakers such as power amplifiers、Resonance between speakers and cabinets、Resonance and how to coordinate and cooperate between the inverted hole in order to better play the level of this speaker,This is precisely calculated by the manufacturer,For the user,As long as he pays a little attention to the placement of the speaker after going home,Basically, you can play the quality of the whole sound system。
But the car audio system is different from the home audio system, first of all, the car speaker can not have so much space as the home speaker can be wasted, the horn is directly fixed on the door, the door is metal, how to remove the resonance between the horn and the door? how to make the speaker and the door structure form a good resonance cavity? how to debug the hardware after installation to play the best timbre? use the same batch of hardware, how to match to meet the pop music lovers and country music lovers?
Every car is different, and this needs to be done by an experienced car audio tuning technician with their own experience, and it is never a matter of fixing the horn to the door. ”
"......" one of Rosemary's mouths had opened into an O-shape: "So complicated?"
"It's that complicated. Chen Geng nodded, in the field of car audio modification, some people think that this thing is even close to metaphysics, because the same car, the same batch of hardware, but after two modification technicians out of the results are very different, the United States these addicted to mechanical modification of the modification factory want to master this thing in a short time, it is not an easy task.
Rosemary blinked, "But you made this car 10 days before the start of the Grand Prix......"
Can you do it, but others can't?
Chen Geng said unashamedly: "Because I am a genius!"
"......" Rosemary was speechless.
........................
However, the next development of the situation proves that Chen Geng still underestimated the appeal of audio modification to Americans.
Not to mention how many spectators this modified Buick Boulevard attracted, just once: by three o'clock in the afternoon, Fernandez had signed 22 intent modification agreements, and these 22 intent modification agreements were all the kind that paid a deposit of 100 yuan, as for the kind of hesitation, I don't know how many.
Seeing that this business was so prosperous, Anderson couldn't sit still at all.
Can't sit still not only because of excitement, but also headaches: today is not over, has already got nearly 100,000 dollars of orders, and so the end of the entire exhibition, even the most conservative estimate, 500,000 dollars of orders will certainly not be a problem, and the "devil's claw" through this modified car Grand Prix will be famous, the next will inevitably usher in a blowout of car audio modification business.
There is work done, this is a good thing, but the problem is also here, the entire "devil's claw" modification department, in fact, there is no one who understands audio modification, this Buick Boulevard is still under the guidance of Mr. Fernandez and even completed under the personal demonstration, so many orders, is it up to the boss to personally give the modification plan, or even the boss to do it himself?
This is outrageous!
What does the boss do? It is to coordinate the overall situation, formulate the company's development strategy, and lead the company forward, and a qualified company boss is not qualified to bury his head in the company's management, let alone plunge into a specific business.
After listening to Anderson, Chen Geng nodded and said, "So you mean to recruit people?"
"It's not just about recruiting people, what I want to think about is whether we can recruit some people who know more about audio technology, such as L, Bose, Yan Fei Lishi, these audio brands poach people? In addition, we can also consider those engineers and technicians who know more about this in those audio brand stores," After seeing with his own eyes how profitable car audio modification is, Anderson has been thinking about how to enrich the technical team of "devil's claws" audio modification:" You said that there is a big difference between car audio and home audio, but even if it is a little difficult to switch from home audio to car audio, at least they have a foundation in acoustics, which is much better than those who don't know anything, right?
They at least have a certain foundation, you give training, point out the precautions, at least the specific construction should not be a big problem, and slowly have experience, but also be able to support this business. ”
"Well, that's a solution," Chen Geng nodded: "You are the person in charge of the 'devil's claw', if you think it's feasible, then do it, but one thing, the treatment of these technicians and engineers can be written preferentially, but the breach of contract clause must be strict, and there can't be a situation where we have trained a qualified audio modification engineer with great difficulty, and then it will be poached by others in a blink of an eye...... Those who leave without the permission of the company must be unlucky. ”
"I understand. Anderson nodded heavily, that's what he thought.
........................
After all, not all eyes were on the car stereo, not even on the "X-Bo" race car that surrounded it, but on the humble "beast" full-size SUV developed on the chassis of Ford's latest sixth-generation F-150 pickup truck.
For example, Bernard, Ford's deputy director of marketing, didn't even look at the Buick Boulevard that surrounded countless people, but looked at this huge "beast" with excitement on his face: this deterrent and imposing "beast" is really based on the chassis of the Ford F-250 pickup truck?
As Ford's marketing director, Bernard is extremely sure that after the "beast" is taken over by Ford, with Ford's strong marketing capabilities, this "beast" will be able to become a real "beast" that is rampaging in the market!
But before this "beast" becomes Ford's "beast", he still has some work to do, such as buying the exterior and interior patents of this "beast" from this small modification company, although Ford is not afraid of a lawsuit with such a small modification company, but if the cost of buying this appearance and interior patent directly is lower than the cost of a lawsuit, why not simply solve the trouble?
As for whether the other party will sell, Bernard is not worried at all, what qualifications does a small tuning factory have to bargain with Ford?
"Are you the boss of this company?" Bernard relaxed even more after seeing that the owner of Fernandez's company turned out to be an Asian American, as if he had seen the little angel of victory beckoning to him.
"Yes, I'm Fernandez, hello. Chen Geng said as he stretched out his hand to the other party, ready to shake hands with the other party. But the next moment, Chen Geng was embarrassed: in the face of his outstretched hand, the other party had no intention of reaching out to him......
"My name is Bernard, and I am the deputy director of marketing of Ford Motor," Bernard did not know what a serious mistake he had made, with a face of arrogance of "It is your honor for me to talk to you, and it is also your honor for me to take a fancy to your things", and said to Chen Geng with his nostrils facing the sky: "The design of your 'beast' is a bit interesting, Ford is going to buy it, you can make a price...... A word of caution, don't be too greedy. ”
The smile on Chen Geng's face slowly put away, and looked at Bernard with an expression of "Lao Tzu is your father, hurry up and call Dad!", he said slowly, word by word: "I'm sorry, I don't sell it." ”
ps: I know that the brothers must be deeply "greetings" for a thousand years, if I say that today is still 2 more brothers believe it? I know that I definitely don't believe it, so ...... The millennium rushed to the manuscript overnight, and the second update will be released at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
