Chapter 337: The Today I've Been Waiting For
August 7, 1999, 3 p.m. San Francisco time. Yang Runling sent an email, E-song finally bought portal-player as a whole, this company currently has more than 20 engineers, like E-song, the vast majority of the company's employees are engineers, they are small but beautiful, all the engineers gathered together to design the chip and processing program of the ideal digital audio player in Fadel's mind.
Under Chen's instructions, Yang Runling has presided over E-song to receive a second round of financing of $18 million, and his own stake is as low as less than 60%, but in Silicon Valley, this is still a very safe stake.
The genes of this company are engineers, design, small and beautiful, Chen Zier does not plan to change these genes, and the later portal-player is very good, and the profit margin is also very high, what Ma's father said is actually right, -song will be like this in the future, eliminating the cumbersome management brought by a large number of people who have nothing to do with research, and the whole company only focuses on engineers and their technology.
If it develops well, it may not only have more than 100 engineers now, but there may be thousands, but this gene will not change.
This will be a light-loaded, R&D-focused company, providing chip design and processing programs to terminal product companies, and its only legal representative is Chen Zier.
In the near future, he will also formally establish a consumer electronics company in China to produce digital audio players, and the key technologies and components in the products will be designed from E-song.
But now, Fadell can't help but launch the product they've been developing for nearly a year, and Chen Zier knows that he can't sit still, he loves digital audio players, and he can't help but show his results.
But the result of using flash memory to hold only a few dozen songs is shit.
The time is almost up, and Japan's Toshiba Corporation will have successfully developed micro hard drive technology in the near future. This is too important for handheld devices, whether it's an Mp3, a mobile phone, or a PDA, without a micro hard drive......
Imagine the days of cassette Walkmans and CD Walkmans, when you had to take your music out the door and you had to carry a bunch of tapes and CDs on your back.
At present, the mainstream desktop hard disk capacity is only 60GB, and the mainstream flash mp3 has the most expensive capacity of 128MB, and a song is about 4MB, so the best mp3 on the market can only fit 30 brothers, and the others are not mentioned.
30 songs and 1,000 songs?
Can they not be beaten by iPods? Combined with the overall size reduction of the micro hard drive, the big guys are light and small here...... Apple's designer, Jonathan, made it a little more beautiful and stylish.
Even though it's a little more expensive, who doesn't love it?
The technology of digital audio players is not so scary, and the iPod went from concept to successful development in less than 9 months. The difficulty lies in the jump in design concepts, such as Jobs's strict requirement that the entire product can only have three buttons at most, which no one thought at the time.
LCD screens, ultra-large energy lithium batteries, headphones can all be purchased, audio chips, processors Fadel is working hard, and the appearance design is ...... This is Chen Zier's job, he still remembers, the central control wheel.
The most critical and most difficult thing that you can't buy with money is a hard drive with a small size, but a large storage space, which is why Chen Zier has been waiting, around 2000, Toshiba, 1.8 inches, 5G memory.
Because it was so important, the data seemed to be engraved in Chen's mind, so he told Fadell that you would get such a hard drive in the near future, so wait. And he himself figured out who would go to Japan to negotiate with Toshiba and sell the ownership of the small hard drive technology they had developed but didn't know where to use it.

Shengshi Real Estate, Sales Manager's Office.
Shen Lianying heard the knock on the door, as usual, she was busy reading the documents, she didn't look up, and squeezed out a voice in an indifferent tone, "Come in." ”
Chen Zier came in.
"Manager Shen, how are you doing?" he said with a friendly smile.
Shen Lianying's heart suddenly burst out, what a familiar voice, I'll drop the sky! She looked up and hurriedly stood up, "Mr. Chen, hey, welcome, welcome, it's too sudden, why did you come to me? ”
Chen Zier smiled in return, and after sitting down, Shen Lianying was still a little slow to swallow, so he stretched out his hand and signaled, "Sit down." ”
Shen Lianying coiled her hair, a flat face, not very good-looking, the main nose bridge is a little collapsed, resulting in a face like a plain, no three-dimensional sense, and at the same time the cheekbones are slightly protruding, it is said that such a person does not vent easily, and the pressure index is high.
I don't know if it's true or not.
Almost 35 years old, there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and you can still see some applied foundation, the breath of a little girl is not visible on her at all, she is very mature, quite mature.
"Manager Shen, I know that the company's two projects have been fighting sales battles recently, and they are busy, right?"
Shen Lianying was no longer slightly flustered just now, "Get used to it, work, there is no ease, since the leader chooses to believe me, then I have to pick up this burden." ”
Chen Zier nodded silently, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Does Manager Shen have a child?"
"I have a youngest son, who is eight years old. Shen Lianying couldn't figure out what it meant, so she explained first, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I have always had a very good balance between work and family." My status will not be affected. ”
"I know you're outstanding as a woman in the workplace, how many years have you been here?"
Shen Lianying thought about it for a moment, "Maybe it's been almost seven years... I didn't graduate from a prestigious school, but I worked hard to get to where I am today, and more of it was luck. ”
"There's no luck. If there is, it is that the harder the person is, the better he can use his luck. Achieving an achievement can be luck, and people who achieve succession in a row are trained by the law of 10,000 hours. ”
"Hey, then I thank Mr. Chen for the compliment. Shen Lianying smiled and asked tentatively, "What is Mr. Chen looking for me today?"
"Something. Chen Zi said, "Happy event." It's been seven years here...... Have you ever thought about a change of environment? In this way, I will say directly, I want to transfer you to work in the pudding company, I need you, you don't have to worry about Mr. Diao, I have already negotiated. ”
Shen Lianying's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tighten, and she asked, "Transfer me to be a sales manager?"
"No, Pudding will set up an audit and oversight center in the near future, and I want you to manage it and be directly responsible to me. ”
Upgraded!
Although they are all managers of the same department, she used to face Diao Yijie, and in the future, she directly faced Chen Zier! Diao Yijie is the person in charge of a company, and Chen Zier is the legal representative of several companies! More importantly, Chen Zier's theoretical net worth has reached the level of huge wealth, this is a ship destined to take off, and those who give up are fools.
It's just that this audit oversight center......
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your appreciation, but I have no experience in this area, do you really believe me?"
Chen Zier asked, "Do you believe in yourself?"
Shen Lianying's eyes didn't dodge, "I'm not afraid of entering an unfamiliar realm." ”
Diao Yijie himself is a tough man, a person who crawled out of the mud, and he has cultivated some wolf-like managers, like Shi Yangqing, who likes Cai Zhaoxi's professional management.
This is called the division of people into groups.
"Negotiating with people is your unique skill, the only difference is that you used to negotiate with people outside the company, and later you communicate with people inside the company, to be honest, I don't know who to turn to except you. ”
Shen Lianying didn't get close to Chen Ziyi because she was handsome, it's been almost a year, and she has been waiting for today!
PS: Today, other authors told me one thing.,So let's talk about it.,After being reminded to chase the book artifact, I saw a lot of bad reviews.,Khan,It turns out that there are still people scolding me there.,It's hard work.,Although I have been writing a book for half a year, my heart has no fluctuations and even my backhand almost smiled and liked it......
Getting back to the point, the children's shoes who spend money on subscriptions in chasing books, the money can't be taken by the author at each starting point, although I don't understand where your little money went, but the fact is that it's so hard, so please try to support this book ^_^ at the starting point.
