Chapter 9 Convincing "Investors"

When I got home in the evening, my mother's nagging and my sister's various "resistances" after dinner finally diluted Xia Yu's thoughts, and his feelings were restored.

After chatting for a while about the study problems of the parents and the two of them, Lin Xingfang suddenly remembered something, pulled Xia Yu and said: "You sit here, don't stick to the computer as soon as you get home! I asked someone to buy you two sets of TOEFL test review materials, and I will bring them to you!"

Xia Yu couldn't cry or laugh, how could he have the heart to learn English now, and besides, do you need to learn English again...... But I couldn't say this to my mother, so in the end, I could only go back to the room with two thick TOEFL materials under my mother's ardent expectations.

After another cup of tea, Xia Yu readjusted himself to the rhythm of work.

A strange rebirth made him a full decade longer than others. But the more this is the case, the more I know that time cannot be wasted.

Polestar's first battle had to be fought, and the most important thing now was to build as many prototypes as possible, test and improve them, and make sure they could meet the planned quarter.

His plan is that the first product will be released before the start of school, and it will only be a little over a month. As per his requirements for MP3 quality, time was tight.

At eight o'clock, Liu Mingsheng's phone called.

The other technician who Xia Yu asked him to find before had passed the skill test, and after he introduced the treatment here and vaguely revealed the intention of expansion, he had already found two.

Xia Yu asked him to help inform him that he would go to the factory for an interview in person tomorrow morning.

In addition, Xia Yu asked him to inquire, and now the background of the seller of the solution used in the processing plant, Fiberhome Design Company, has also been reported.

He learned from some insiders that there are only about six or seven people in this design company, and they also came out of a large factory to raise money to start a business, and the technology is very hard, but because of the fierce competition, it is not good or bad.

He has made an appointment with the other party to discuss cooperation with the other party tomorrow afternoon.

At this time, the uncle came to the house to visit the door, chatted with Xia Mingshun briefly and entered Xia Yu's room. Xia Yu probably listened to Li De's report and asked himself to understand the situation.

Shamingde did come for that purpose.

Li De had already told him what they were doing in the Linghai Electronics Market today, and spoke highly of Xia Yu, but he also vaguely pointed out whether it was a bit "too ambitious".

Xia Mingde can't figure out Xia Yu's true thoughts now, if you really want to follow Li De's statement, Xia Yu wanted to be a high-end market from the beginning, and the risk is not small. It is estimated that he will have to invest all his net worth in order to barely support the start, and I don't know how long he will live.

But he hadn't figured out what to say yet, and he didn't want to dampen Xia Yu's enthusiasm.

I didn't want Xia Yu to speak first, so I asked him about the Beacon Design Company.

Xia Mingde doesn't know much about the situation, and the details are not as comprehensive as Liu Mingsheng's inquiry, but he also said that this design company has a good reputation.

Xia Mingde asked him, "What, Xiaoyu, are you interested in this beacon?"

Xia Yu nodded: "It should be their technology, this set of solutions is different from others on the market, and the compatibility is very good." ”

Of course, it is also more in line with Xia Yu's current needs. What he wants to do is to improve this mature solution, and raise the grade of key components again to achieve a level of high sound quality.

Xia Mingde also heard the interest, and then asked: "Oh, can you compare with a large company?"

Large companies rarely buy solutions in the market, they have a dedicated R&D team, and they do exclusive solutions, and many parts and processes are not standardized after the final mold is opened, which increases the difficulty of imitation.

In this way, the imitation can only look like the outside, the core is different, and the quality is not a level, which can be seen at a glance by a discerning person.

Of course, if the plan is leaked, it is a different matter.

Xia Yu knew that Xia Mingde was half an insider, and said directly: "The technical core is not bad, the key is more suitable for general production, and it is more suitable for standardized manufacturing in small factories." From the point of view, this is the most suitable way to play for design companies, and this team is smart. ”

In the two years in Intel's architecture room, although Xia Yu did not participate in the most sophisticated research, he was only an ordinary researcher, which was enough for him to have a set of excellent knowledge framework accumulation and a good analytical vision. This is the essence of the world's top real yàn room.

In Xia Yu's view, the stability and practicality of this scheme are very good, and it is rare that it is still very compatible. They seem to have made a mature framework, and then modified it to adapt it to different needs.

Therefore, compared with some design companies selling three or two plans everywhere from beginning to end, the framework developed by this Fiberhome studio is more valuable and more technical.

Xia Mingde understood what he meant, and Xia Yu was able to see these things through his own observations, which proved that firstly, he had worked hard, and secondly, he had studied these techniques and concepts to a fairly good level.

He knew that Xia Yu had won some student awards in science and technology electronics, and he had also put forward opinions on many things in his USB flash drive factory, but most of them were regarded as a kind of genius at the student stage, and they were not connected with real commercial manufacturing.

This kid is really used to surpriseing people.

It's just that......

He thought about it again, and finally spoke: "Look at the sample you bought today, do you want to make high-end MP3s?"

Xia Yu knew that it was Li De who talked to his uncle, and he didn't dislike anything, and replied: "It's considered high-end, but it's not positioned in the high-end market." ”

He knew that he had to explain his uncle, and now his uncle was his own "angel investor", which was a bit reversed from his identity before his rebirth, but it felt good.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu said again: "Let's say so, uncle, if there is a mobile phone, all kinds of parts are used with the top, although the design and details are a little worse, but the signal, call quality, screen display, photography and other effects are the same as Nokia's 7610 just listed, but the price is only half of it, which do you think you will buy?"

Xia Mingde raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "It sounds interesting, but I will still buy Nokia." ”

Xia Yu was speechless: "Forget uncle, you are a local tyrant...... Well, what about Li De or my dad?"

Xia Mingde understood what he meant, and replied: "There is indeed a big market, and many people should buy it." But how can the price be only half of it? It is more difficult to distribute new products, right? After removing all kinds of inputs and profits, maybe the price will be even higher!"

Xia Yu nodded, and said: "Uncle, you are also in this business, you should know how much space there is between the production cost of electronic products and the final retail price, the more high-end the product, the more so." If we cut off most of our own profits, and then cut most of the channel distribution profits, and also cut most of the marketing advertising, can we do it?"

Xia Mingde then asked: "This should be done, but don't you want to make money? Those channel dealers won't sell it to you!"

Xia Yu immediately replied to him: "What if I say that the first and second products don't make money? This pressure is really high, I control the shipments, can I create a reputation? The price of chips has been declining, and the cost should have dropped a lot after a few months, and the reputation is also there, do you say you can make money?"

"Yes, surely!" Xia Mingde's eyes lit up, and his voice was unconsciously a lot louder: "This kind of thinking is really ...... It's so genius, Xiaoyu, you kid, how did you come up with it? Are you going to do this in the MP3 field?"

This is not my genius, in fact, many business fields have similar plays, but there is no electronic products such as the characteristics of declining raw materials and fast user updates, and only in this field to carry forward.

Besides, is this the idea of "futures mobile phone" of Xiaomi's "Rebus".

Seeing that he had persuaded his uncle, Xia Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that being an entrepreneur convincing investors is also a very cool thing!

He added: "Polestar's MP3 is similar to this idea, and it should be said that it started with this idea. We are not in a hurry to make money, but to make a name for ourselves in the products of consumers and even channel providers. However, it is necessary to seize the time to accumulate technology, talents and other strengths, improve comprehensive capabilities, and ultimately make excellent products, and also open up the price difference between different product levels. ”

"Of course, I've done the math myself, and I can still make some money. He added.

Xia Mingde thought for a while and didn't answer again, but when he looked at Xia Yu again, his eyes were a little different.

In the past, it may have been a support for the younger generation, and more out of love, but Xia Yu's ideas and words were enough to support him to gain a foothold in this industry.

This kid, this is ...... Worthy of my nephew!

sighed again, and finally he said: "In this way, you carefully make a plan to come out, you don't need to be formal, but the ideas and the next step-by-step planning and needs of Polestar Electronics are done, and I will study it carefully." It is estimated that there will be some investment in the early stage, I will look at your plans and needs, and vacate two stores for you to invest.

This is really the tone of investors!

Xia Yu was a little speechless, the pace of the uncle was really fast, but he liked it!

He nodded and said, "It's not very practical, as long as it can support the start." The subsequent expansion and accumulation should be able to create a virtuous cycle through guò sales collection. I'll make a detailed list and give you the plan tomorrow. ”

After thinking for a while, he asked: "By the way, when will the industrial and commercial license of Polestar Electronics come down?" I want to try my best to discuss cooperation with Fiberhome Design Company, and it is better to have an official name." ”

Xia Mingde said: "It's been just two days! I'll urge you again, and I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow at the latest, so it's a big deal to ...... two bottles of good wine."

Xia Yu knew that he was a little anxious, and he was a little embarrassed to scratch his head.

I really don't want to waste a little time, and now I feel that there is a shortage of people and talents under my hands!

He wanted to meet the people of Fiberhome Design Company as much as possible, and even if he couldn't win them over, he had to spend money to let them help him improve his progress and make the prototype as soon as possible.

To be honest, the threshold for MP3 assembly is indeed very low, and many people have heard that they can make money and invest some money to pull a few people to do it, but companies that are slightly formal and want to go big cannot completely lack their own design capabilities and R&D capabilities. Later on, stylists, circuit engineers, and software engineers will become the top priorities.

Although Xia Yu is starting a business for the first time, he doesn't want to make a fortune and leave, but does feel that the MP3 industry does have what he wants - in addition to making money, he can also use it to have the accumulation of production technology in the electronics industry.

In addition, the team formed will be a great asset for its continued development in the future.

Polestar is still in its infancy, and money is tight, so he has to make the first generation of products to open up the market and recoup funds.

But in his plan, Polestar will gradually move towards a mature development and production process, starting with the second generation of the product.

And the speed must be fast, 04 to 05 years is just the reshuffle period of the industry, and at the same time is the market outbreak period, if you fail to keep up with the mainstream at this stage, it will be too difficult to catch up later.

Before Xia Mingde left, Xia Yu remembered something and asked him if he knew a real estate developer named Zhang Hongquan, and the former said that he had not heard of it, but he could help inquire.

After a while, his sister Charlene came to him again and asked him to fix the repeater, the old cassette.

Ma Sheng's junior high school sister is the key time to learn English, and this repeater was picked by Xia Yu for him.

But this kind of thing is very easy to repair, he took ten minutes to disassemble and adjust the pressure regulating pulley, just in the right direction, and it was no problem to try it.

Speaking of which, the production of this thing is not complicated, but the market prospect is too weak, and it is not easy to transform in the future.

Xia Yu subconsciously observed it from a business perspective and shook his head again.

I feel like I'm a little crazy!

He pulled himself back in front of the computer and began to revise the Polestar Electronics Development Plan, which he had written for a third of the book.

Now look at the design and production assembly can be sketched out, the positioning and strategy can be explained clearly to Uncle Xiao today, he focuses on how to open up the market, and how to drive the benign rapid development of Polestar Electronics in terms of resources, talents and technical capabilities after initial success.

This aspect must be considered as early as possible, start-ups can often achieve rapid development through creativity or a feature, but how to lay a supporting system and foundation at the same time for rapid development, with strong stamina, this is difficult.

It's the same as writing a book.

Xia Yu had seen many failures before he was reborn, and he had to plan well.

As for tomorrow's interview, he has already decided that if it is not too bad, he will take both, and now Polestar is in dire need of talent. He didn't expect that the two people Liu Mingsheng hurriedly found made him a little surprised! PS: I can see people voting for recommendations every day, which feels very good, thank you!
