Chapter 106: Revolutionary Breakthrough
Back at the hotel, several people gathered in Fang Yi's room after taking a bath, Zheng Rongjun made tea for everyone, Fang Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Li Long, Chen Zhao, tell me about your recent work."
Chen Zhao spoke first and said, "Mr. Fang, Yuan Jie and I arrived in Guangzhou ahead of Mr. Li, and on the second day of arrival, we rented a three-story building in YX District, with a total area of 650 square meters, of which the first floor is used as a dormitory and logistics, and the 420 square meters on the second and third floors are mainly used by the research center, and all the logistics work and the equipment list listed by Li Long have been in place 12 days ago."
Fang Yi listened to Chen Zhao's words, first gave a big thumbs up and then applauded to celebrate.
When the applause stopped, Li Long said: "Mr. Fang, after I arrived with the 6 colleagues brought by CD, we mainly installed and debugged the equipment in the early stage, and then bought back a few mainstream MP3s on the market for analysis, and later Chen Zhao recruited 5 engineers with experience in electronic design for us, and now we have 11 designers." In terms of research, we have preliminarily established a design scheme, and yesterday we have procured various electronic components, just waiting for the first decoding test."
Fang Yi didn't expect Li Long and them to be able to test in such a short period of time, and they also gave applause and encouragement.
Fang Yi waited for everyone's applause to subside and said, "For our current market products, I think everyone has a number in their hearts, all manufacturers are pursuing a small and clever, but at the same time, they have also given up a lot of very important things, such as memory space, battery life, sound quality decoding quality, etc., and our little C is going to make the product this time to go back to its own way, we not only want to make the little C beautiful, but also let him in the memory space, battery life, There is a revolutionary breakthrough in sound quality, everyone remember this sentence, it is a revolutionary breakthrough, not just a simple breakthrough"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't quite understand what Fang Yi means by revolutionary breakthrough.
Fang Yi saw that everyone didn't speak, so he continued, "Long Li, do you know why I only gave you 4 months?"
Li Long shook his head and said he didn't know.
Fang Yi didn't explain, and continued to ask, "Then do you know what I mean by letting you do work design?"
Li Long nodded and shook his head again.
"Do you think I gave you 4 months to lead this team of 11 people to start from scratch, one component and one component?"
Li Long nodded a little stunned.
Fang Yi glanced at Li Long and said, "You didn't understand the purpose of me sending you to Guangzhou, do you remember when you told me the purpose of coming to Guangzhou?"
Li Long thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning, I said that Guangzhou has the equipment and electronic components we need."
Fang Yi stretched out his hand to stop Li Long, who was still about to continue to speak, "Then what did you do, did you buy back all the equipment you need, and where are the electronic components?"
Li Long said with some grievances, "In order to save costs, we will purchase the electronic components we need after research and discussion."
Fang Yi shook his head and said, "You are wrong, the reason why I only give you 4 months and let you come to Guangzhou, if you combine these two pieces of information, then you will get, I will give you 4 months to let you come to Guangzhou to find the most advanced electronic components in the current world, and then use your industrial design as a bridge to connect these products, so that he can become the most beautiful and best MP3 in the current world, I am asking you to come to Guangzhou to buy, buy, I didn't buy it so that you could sit in the research room all day long and analyze the principles of other people's products, and then build a skyscraper on your own. We have to learn to stand on the shoulders of giants."
At this time, Chen Zhao said beside him, "Mr. Fang, in this way, the cost we will spend will be much greater."
Fang Yi didn't answer directly, but asked, "If you want to go on the shoulders of giants, are you still reluctant to pay for the tickets?"
Although Fang Yi's voice and tone of voice became louder and louder, but after Li Long heard it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, yes, how can these 11 fledgling guys design products that look better and sell better than others, Fang Yi's words woke him up, I will buy good things if you have them, I will buy them if he has good things, put all the good things together, that is our little C, a revolutionary product.
Fang Yi saw that he seemed to understand, lowered his voice and said, "Don't care about the price, don't care about the region, don't care about the country, we just need the best parts in the world."
Li Long clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Fang, I know, I want to act immediately, we will have a meeting overnight tonight, maybe we will be able to take out the product in 4 months"
Li Long didn't care who was there now, he stood up directly, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
Fang Yi saw that the most important characters in today's meeting had left, and there was no need to continue, and said, "Okay, okay, everyone is tired today, let's disperse, and rest for everyone."
Zheng Rongjun finished cleaning up all the teacups, took the notebook full of memories and said, "Mr. Fang, I really didn't expect it to be so exciting to follow you, I believe that Mr. Li and they will definitely be able to come up with the most beautiful and practical MP3 player in the world."
Fang Yi asked, "Why do you have so much confidence in others?"
"Because of a helmsman like you" Zheng Rongjun said this, opened the door and walked out, he was ready to go back and must thank Wang Yu for letting him find a career that he could fight for.
Li Long jumped out of the taxi and ran upstairs, and the taxi driver behind him pointed at Li Long and said in half-baked Mandarin, "Alas, sir, you didn't pay?"
Li Long said to the people who passed by him, "Go and help me pay the taxi fare, and then come up for the meeting right away"
The 11 electronic engineers of the R&D center are gathered in a room of about 40 square meters, Yang Long is writing a whiteboard, 10 minutes later, Li Long said, "Tomorrow everyone will act separately, go to the electronic market to buy all the electronic originals marked on my whiteboard, purchase 2 pieces of each original, and now I will assign tasks"
An urgent and panicked meeting, which has a decisive factor for the future of Little C, was held in a hurry and ended in a hurry, and many of the people who participated below broke up without even saying a word.
On the morning of May 28th, at 9:30, Fang Yi took Zheng Rongjun to the headquarters of Colorful Company in Shenzhen, Huang Hua was waiting for Fang Yi at the gate early, Fang Yi signed at the service desk and walked into the press conference hall with Huang Hua, Fang Yi did not expect that Colorful would make the conference so grand this time, the lights were so bright that Fang Yi couldn't open his eyes, and stretched out his hand to block the direct light Fang Yi asked, "Mr. Huang, why is your press conference so grand, is every release like this before?"
Huang Hua shook his head and said, "Mainly today, February, we reached a cooperation with Taiwan's Quanta Computer, last year we independently founded the Colorful brand, last month our sales have achieved breakthrough growth, it can be said that the Rainbow graphics card brand has gained a firm foothold in the fierce market competition, this time we are going to launch our Colorful GF system graphics card, so the company has prepared such a grand press conference"
Fang Yi looked at the people around him and said, "How many people do you know here, can you introduce me to some people?"
Huang Hua looked at the crowd around him and said, "I know some, Mr. Fang, who do you want to know, if I don't know it, then I will find someone I know to help you introduce you."
Fang Yi said, "I want to know the foundry companies in the electronics industry."
Huang Hua looked around the crowd, pointed to a middle-aged man in the distance and said, "Did you see that person over there?"
Fang Yi looked at Huang Hua's finger and said, "See, do you mean the man with long hair and a purple suit?"
Huang Hua nodded and said, "In the current foundry industry, the best ones are Taiwan's Foxconn and TSMC, and their directions are still somewhat different."
Fang Yi nodded and said, "I know this, Foxconn is mainly engaged in foundry electronics, while TSMC is mainly engaged in microelectronics, CPUs, and chips."
Huang Hua nodded and pointed at the man again and said, "He is Chen Weihua, the person in charge of Foxconn's Shenzhen factory, they built a factory in Shenzhen last year, and until now, their production capacity has not been fully released.
Fang Yi said, "Mr. Huang, then please help me introduce me."
Huang Hua nodded, and walked towards Chen Weihua with Fang Yi, and when he was about to reach Chen Weihua's side, Fang Yi picked up a glass of champagne from the long table on the side.
"Mr. Chen, why are you here alone?" When Chen Weihua was still 5 meters away, Huang Hua said loudly, feeling like they were old friends for many years, this is the basic skill of being a salesperson, and he can quickly get closer to people.
Chen Weihua obviously didn't recognize Huang Hua immediately, but after being stunned for two seconds, he said, "Yo, Mr. Huang, why do you, a rainbow upstart, have time to come and greet me?"
Huang Hua leaned sideways, and let Fang Yi, who was walking behind him, introduce him, "Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Fang, and he is the most important partner of our Colorful in SC."
Chen Weihua looked at the person in front of him who was a little too young, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously decided that this was another second ancestor, for mainlanders, what he felt the most was those second generations of businessmen and second generations of officials, frivolous, showing off, mentally retarded, and empty-eyed.
Fang Yi picked up the champagne in his hand, toasted to Chen Weihua and said, "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
At this time, Huang Hua said in Fang Yi's ear, "Mr. Fang, my boss asked me to go over, lose my company first, and I'll go back when I go."
