Xia Yu also knows that the price of this newly listed chip is generally expensive, and the R&D cost has to be recovered little by little. In addition, the things involved in BBE authorization here are too complicated, so I simply stopped bargaining and made a decision directly.

Speaking of which, Jia Feirong really didn't plan to pit Xia Yu in this regard, and he was even more comfortable when he saw that he had decided to make a decision, and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Xia, our president Mr. Zhang will come back from Bay Island in three days, and Polestar is also an important partner of Philips, wouldn't it be right for us to jointly hold a media event then?"

"It's okay, then it's troublesome for Mr. Jia to communicate!But Philips engineers can come over in advance!"

Jia Feirong did not hesitate: "This is no problem, I will apply, they should be able to fly over from Shanghai early tomorrow morning, it is definitely the elite team of Philips, and it will not delay the research and development of Polestar." ”

Hanging up the phone, Xia Yu finally had some spare time, told Zhang Mei not to disturb people for the time being, and returned to the office to squint for a while.

When I woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

Polestar got off work at 6 o'clock, but at this time, in addition to the R&D department still being brightly lit and discussing, Luo Dong was also taking the marketing department to continue the meeting in the next office, while Liu Mingsheng was still listening.

The management and operation of the company seems to be such a small matter, but only when it is truly integrated can it be understood that every step of the strategy must be agreed on many times, and every plan must be closely implemented. And how to stimulate the enthusiasm of middle-level and grass-roots managers, and how to mobilize ordinary employees to take the initiative to think about the company instead of receiving wages and living a mixed life, are all knowledge.

These things are not taught in schools. It will be written in the book but it is someone else's, even if the business school only mentions the surface. It is more necessary to rely on the accumulation of practice and the summary of intentions.

In Polestar's executive team, Liu Mingsheng has almost the lowest education. So he worked very hard, and Xia Yu was also the most satisfied with this.

Ma Yun's judgment of Lu Zhaoxi is also just "diligent".

……

After wiping his face with a wet towel, Xia Yu returned to his seat, opened the computer and browsed Polestar's official website forum, which has exceeded 220,000 registered users, and the activity and discussion atmosphere in each section are good.

I went to a few foreign professional forums and answered two intelligent automation questions to offer rewards, and suddenly an email reminder popped up in the lower right corner. It's my sister-in-law's!

Xia Yu's father and sister three, sister-in-law Xia Chunxia just turned 30 years old this year, working in the Oak Ridge room, the main direction is polymer materials and nanomaterials, is one of the few female researchers in the Chinese materials circle in the United States.

This real yàn room is well-known in academic circles, dating back to the Manhattan Project during World War II, and was built directly for the main purpose of producing and separating uranium and plutonium. Of course, it has since been reformed several times, and since April 2000 it has been jointly administered by the University of Tennessee and the Battelle Memorial Institute. It is still one of the world's top materials.

Well, if you do the hard calculation, it is not too much to give Xia Chunxia even the title of a female scientist, at least in the field of scientific research, it is better than before Xia Yu was reborn.

Who told him to stop doing it later, jump from GoogleX and engage in venture capital. At that time, it was opposed by my sister-in-law.

However, Xia Chunxia was very good to Xia Yu, and took care of him a lot for his life and study in the United States for several years, and continued to ask him to go to Stanford after he was not reborn. But Xia Yu had already made her clear a while ago. I also told her some information about the Polestar Electronics I founded here, which dispelled her idea.

However, in Xia Yu's plan. In addition to the upcoming CES trip to the United States, a lot of things will be carried out there in the future. Including mobile phone projects that are secretly in the pipeline, as well as investment plans that have always been in the works.

So he sent an email to Xia Chunxia yesterday, saying that he was going to visit her in a few days, and asked her to inquire about some things over there.

I didn't expect my busy sister-in-law to reply to the email so quickly, and it should be more than 6 o'clock in the morning over there!

He asked Xia Chunxia for two important things this time, among which BBESound's reliable contact information is temporarily unavailable, but the other is also very important, which is the "2004~2006 International MP3 Market Research Report" produced by Gartner, a top research agency, which is only distributed to internal members.

It is also the market that is familiar with this circle, and Xia Yu knows that there is this kind of internal report of the deposit, otherwise it will be difficult for ordinary people to spend money to buy it.

Xia Yu went to contact and buy from Huaguo, and he had to be introduced to join the membership, which delayed a lot, and he was not 100% sure whether Gartner had started to do this thing in 2004 and whether there was an MP3 market.

And there are always channels to contact my sister-in-law's circle, and he can't wait to open the international market of Polaris K series, so he can only ask my sister-in-law.

Looking at the 96MB PDF report attachment in the email, as well as the sister-in-law's simple "OK, Gotit" reply, Xia Yu grinned and knocked a smile back.

In fact, he didn't want to ask his sister-in-law to help him operate some plans on the U.S. stock market over there, but considering her busy work, he still forgot it. At the same time, he must have a very strange "operation style", which is estimated to attract the unexpected attention of agency traders.

In the end, he still planned to go to the United States after a while to find a reliable person to help.

And he also has a preliminary plan for this candidate.

Yes, although I don't have much of an impression of the specific market of the U.S. stock market in 2005, I still have an impression of the overall trend and the fluctuations of several major events, especially when I report the trend of several well-known technology stocks.

Maybe you can't turn the clouds and rain down, but it's okay to make some extra money. It's just that this matter must be cautious, and he doesn't even plan to reveal Xiao Wenjing for the time being.

……

After greeting a few people, it was already eight o'clock when Xia Yu returned home by car, so he naturally missed dinner again.

Dad Xia Mingshun is not at home, he is also a busy person now, and even often travels to various places to make reports. There are government departments and industry associations, and there are plans to publish a book recently.

Xia Yu has been home less recently. But I have always paid attention to the research direction of my father.

His research has returned to finance and is biased towards macroeconomics. However, it also takes into account the research on the impact of financial policies on the real estate market.

As for Xia Yu, even if he knows for sure that although the central government has been emphasizing the "double stability" of fiscal policy and monetary policy in 2004, it still cannot prevent the exchange rate changes brought about by the continuous depreciation of the US dollar, so it will also have a series of impacts, but these are not good to "communicate" directly with my father.

Fortunately, there was a Sun Xiang paving the way before, this kid has decided to graduate and stay in school, and at the same time applied for his father's doctoral examination, which can be regarded as following his father's footsteps.

So Xia Yu kept "discussing" with Sun Xiang under the pretext of reading and studying to ask questions, and he didn't know if it was a little helpful to his father's research.

knew that Xia Yu hadn't eaten yet. Lin Xingmei counted him down again, but she still got up and gave him a hot meal.

She also knows now that Xia Yu's company is developing very well, and she doesn't care much about his studies except for letting him pay attention to his body.

Such an empathetic mother Xia Yu likes it the most!

While he was eating, he chatted with his mother for a while, and then went back to his room and eagerly opened the 122-page report.

Gartner, the top research organization in the electronics market, really does this internal report with a good level of weight.

Xia Yu and Luo Dong found the information they searched on the Internet and in some paid communities, and it was as simple as it, and there were many fallacies.

In addition to a detailed summary and forecast of the global MP3 market, the report also includes shipment statistics and forecasts, and an analysis of core components such as memory chips and decoding chips. At the same time, there are all kinds of subdivided content such as function interpretation, performance analysis, and user preference survey, which are full of dry goods.

Xia Yu first pulled to the MP3 market, which is also divided into nine points, beyond the overview and summary parts. It also provides a detailed interpretation of the United States, the rest of the Americas, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and other major regions according to the actual market situation.

Among them, East Asia's China, the Bay Island region, South Korea, and Japan have all made key analyses.

According to Polestar's current strategy, the two cost-effective aces of Polaris K1 and K2 will focus on breaking through the Southeast Asian and Russian markets. This is followed by Bay Island.

When they find a way out, the S1 will be successfully developed. Let's consider mature markets together.

Judging from the current situation, Xia Yu is still very optimistic about the market prospects of Polaris S1. Especially in the international market. If nothing else, as long as we continue to maintain high quality and low prices, and at the same time choose good market strategies and partners, this good product should also be marketable in mature markets.

Continuing to look down, according to Gartner's research results, 2004 was a year of great change and disruption of MP3 players in emerging markets, and many markets, including Huaguo, saw a large number of low- and medium-priced models.

Of course, this trend will further explode in 2005, and eventually form a "28 pattern" - high-end models occupy 20% of the share, and the low-end is the dominant 80%.

Interestingly, when introducing and predicting the situation in China, the report even highlighted Polestar Electronics!

Also, it is Polestar's disruption that has accelerated this divergence in the MP3 industry.

After a hasty overview, Xia Yu focused on the two emerging markets of Southeast Asia and Russia, recorded while reading, and searched for some things to supplement, and finally simply summarized them into a document that he had re-established.

Soon it was more than eleven o'clock, and his work was less than halfway through, and he was just about to get up to renew the hot water, when Xiao Wenjing's phone call came at this time.

"Hey, boss, I got off the plane, is there a pick-up service?"

"I'm dizzy, you let me rush to Baiyun Airport now? You'll be home long ago when you have this time!"

"Then you asked the company to send a car to pick me up, why am I also an executive of the company!"

"Don't make a fuss, the driver's class is off early, you take a taxi back by yourself! By the way, everything in Yanjing has been arranged?"

Considering the convenience of Bluestar Venture Capital to invest in the future, Xia Yu and Xiao Wenjing both agreed that they should officially set up an office in Yanjing.

Therefore, Xiao Wenjing stayed for two more days, in addition to the follow-up docking with the three companies and the necessary post-investment management, she was also responsible for the establishment of the Yanjing office of Bluestar Venture Capital and the recruitment of two basic clerks.

I didn't expect her to be so efficient.

Xiao Wenjing directly exhaled on the phone: "Hmph, it's you who spends a lot of money outside to invest in the limelight, and the follow-up troublesome docking and renting a venue to recruit people are all thrown to me, you hands-off boss is really easy!"

Xia Yu thought to himself, and said busily: "Aren't I busy with Polestar's business!By the way, I can't eat anything on the plane, I'll invite you to have supper, you can take a taxi and go directly to the Seine!"

Xiao Xueba's tone softened a little at this time: "You still have a little conscience, but this meal is better to remember first, I'll hurry back and take a shower and sleep!"

"Then you rest early and stop watching American dramas!"

"You have to take care of it!"

hung up the phone, but Xia Yu didn't go back to work immediately, but sent her a text message: "It's hard! But go to bed quickly when you get home, if you are late tomorrow, I will deduct your salary!"

Seeing that there was no reply, he threw his phone away and went on to study and record the report.

Although Polestar is making some achievements now, it is still in the entrepreneurial period, and he can do the word "diligence" himself. The employees are working overtime, how can he be vague? And this kind of work intensity is nothing, he is used to it.

The lights in the house were on until just over three o'clock in the morning. (To be continued......)

PS: The third watch arrived on time, and the little gray boy shoes were added to the law protector. Speaking of which, this chapter sat on the computer and almost didn't get distracted at all.,But it took more than four hours to check the information.,The quality is still quite satisfactory.。 The original title was "Diligence", which is also an essential attribute for writing a novel.

Tomorrow back to Beijing, the delay on the way, should still be two chapters, 30 monthly passes will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Finally, continue to ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets, not far from 10,000 votes!
