Shen Fuxing walked at the forefront, pointed to a piece of land under construction and said: "The area of Changyang Valley High-tech Park was directly doubled last year, and several supporting enterprises moved in. The district allocated us another 30 acres of land to build a factory, and now Shenzhou Technology Company has occupied a total area of more than 50 acres. ”

"It's still too small, at least 300 acres is barely enough. Song Weiyang said.

Shen Fuxing smiled bitterly: "No matter how suburban Yangpu is, it is also Shenghai, where can I get 300 acres of land? ”

Song Weiyang said: "It's really not good, and we can only build a branch factory in northern Jiangsu in the future." ”

"That's what I thought too. Shen Fuxing nodded.

Since the early 90s, due to the rising land prices and wages in Shenghai, many factories in Shenghai have moved to northern Jiangsu. And because most areas of northern Jiangsu were not connected to the railway at that time, with the cooperation of the government and enterprises, northern Jiangsu quickly had the most developed highway network in the country - by 1999, the highway connected almost all counties in northern Jiangsu, and connected with Shenghai and southern Jiangsu through highway bridges.

Song Weiyang followed Shen Fuxing around the science and technology park, looking at the factory area that had been built or was still under construction, and felt a little proud.

Changyang Valley, another time and space, even in 2014, the total planning area is only 80 acres. I was even embarrassed to call it the "high-tech park" at the beginning, but changed the name to "creative park" halfway, and settled in some cultural creativity, design services and Internet content companies.

Now it has been directly deviated by Song Weiyang, the total planning area has exceeded 200 acres, 80% of the area is used to build factories, and many nearby residents have been demolished to settle in Wujiaochang.

Coming to the repeater production workshop, Song Weiyang picked up a Shenzhou repeater that had just come off the assembly line, and the technical person in charge introduced: "Our repeater uses Toshiba's TC8831F voice chip ......"

"The main components are Japanese products, and we only do assembly?" Song Weiyang interrupted.

The person in charge of technology said: "Voice chips really don't need to be developed by themselves, they are all technologies from several years ago, and the market price is already very low." We can definitely develop it with investment, but it is time-consuming and thankless, and the cost is higher than buying Japanese goods directly. Of course, we are also engaged in technology research and development, and the headquarters R&D center is preparing to improve Toshiba chips, and laboratory results have been achieved. ”

At present, Shenzhou Technology has two R&D centers, one is in Shenghai headquarters, and the R&D personnel are from Shenghai universities, and the other is in Beijing, and the R&D personnel are from various universities in Beijing.

The technology research and development of the repeater machine is what the headquarters is engaged in.

Song Weiyang asked, "What results?"

The technical person in charge said: "Toshiba's TC8831F voice chip is a fast digital-analog hybrid integrated circuit, low cost, high performance, only need a small number of external DRAM, MCU and output audio power amplifier circuits, etc., can achieve a typical recording and playback system." Just like phone calls and messages, many companies use this kind of chip. The TC8831F chip can be connected to up to four 4M*1bit DRAM chips as voice storage media, and can record for about 512 seconds under laboratory conditions. Nowadays, the repeater on the market has a recording time of no more than 300 seconds, and some even only 20 seconds. ”

"Why is the recording time so short?" asked Song Weiyang.

"The circuit design of the repeater is also different depending on the kit selected, and the shorter the recording time, the lower the manufacturing cost of the repeater. Said the head of technology.

Song Weiyang said: "Then how many seconds can our repeater record?"

The technical person in charge said: "For the time being, two models have been launched, one with a recording time of 120 seconds and the other with a recording time of 500 seconds. Our headquarters laboratory is improving the existing repeater circuit, expanding the DRAM interface capability of Toshiba chips to 4 chips of 16M*1bit with minimal hardware cost and control software modification. ”

"What is the recording time after the improvement?" Song Weiyang asked.

"Half an hour. Said the head of technology.

"How much?" Song Weiyang thought he had heard it wrong, he had said how many seconds before, but now he was directly measured in hours.

The person in charge of technology smiled: "Of course, this is only laboratory data, and it doesn't take that long to make a repeater." ”

Song Weiyang asked, "What about the manufacturing cost?"

"The cost has only increased by about 0.5 times, mainly because the DRAM used is quite expensive. IN FACT, WITH A SATISFACTORY 16KBPS DIGITAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION RATE, THE REPEATER RECORDING TIME OF SUCH A CIRCUIT CAN REACH 70 MINUTES, BUT IT WILL BECOME EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. ”

Song Weiyang praised: "Yes, the staff of the R&D center of the headquarters are very good. ”

The person in charge of technology smiled: "Actually, you can look at it the other way around." If there is no need to extend the recording time, the external memory can be reduced from 4 to 1, which not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also reduces power consumption, extends battery life, and reduces PCB area and circuit board size. Our repeater can achieve lower price, lower power consumption, smaller size and lighter weight. ”

Song Weiyang nodded to Shen Fuxing and said, "R&D personnel should be rewarded." ”

Shen Fuxing said: "When this improvement can be mass-produced, I will immediately reward the R&D team." ”

Song Weiyang asked: "What brands of repeaters are on the market now?"

Shen Fuxing said: "There are only two brands, one is the magic parrot and the other is Shenghai Yonghua. However, the Ministry of Education has issued a document to begin to pay attention to students' spoken and listening English, and I estimate that many manufacturers will build repeaters this year. ”

Not to mention a lot, it's just blooming everywhere!

Wanxin, Zhiida, BBK, Yonghua, Baoan, Xiaobawang...... Even Tsinghua Unigroup, which makes scanners, and TCL, which makes TVs, have all come to get a piece of the pie, which shows how great the market potential of repeaters is.

In a few years, a small garbage factory will be able to produce repeaters, just like a vegetable seller speculating in stocks, and the industry will collapse directly.

Fortunately, Song Weiyang had the foresight and entered the market before a large number of manufacturers.

At present, there are two repeater brands on the market, the recording time of the magic parrot is only a few dozen seconds, and the recording time of the Yonghua repeater is only 120 seconds, and it is also sold to death.

Back in the company's administrative building, Shen Si has already completed the handover procedures and contacted the assistant to the chairman of Xifeng Company and Taurus Capital - he can officially take up his post!

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, you are from southern Hunan, today I invite you to eat authentic Hunan cuisine!"

"That ......" Shen Si pointed to the acne on his face and said weakly, "Boss, can you change the cuisine?"

"Hahaha," Song Weiyang laughed with a wicked taste, "Then I won't embarrass you, just eat in the factory canteen." ”

Shen Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that this boss would not be able to serve well, Amitabha, God bless, it seems that he can handle it at present.

(Tomorrow's three watches, today is gone.) ）
