"What is this?"

When Zhou Xiaoshan put the drawings provided by Guan Fei and a large box of customized plastic components in front of him, he still felt strange about the purpose of these things.

The components made of these plastics are not large, and most of them are oval-shaped plastic sheets. The plastic sheet is divided into two sides, the top is beautifully crafted, and the back, with an electronic component embedded in the center, and a thin wire connects the two ends of the component, extending to the two oval ends of the plastic sheet.

All plastic components are pluggable and can be joined to other plastic components to form more complex shapes.

Zhou Xiaoshan once curiously spliced these different plastic components in his hand, trying to see what they could do. However, although Pan Meifeng helped him come up with ideas and tried various combinations, he didn't find any mystery in it.

"Already made? Pretty fast! ”

When Guan Fei saw this pile of plastic components, he was slightly pleased and immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully. These things, he only ordered them to go down the day before yesterday, drew a pattern, and asked Zhou Xiaoshan to find someone to do it, but he didn't expect it to be done in only one day.

"We are looking for Hengmao to do it, and they have been providing us with all kinds of plastic accessories. Hearing that this thing was in a hurry, they found a master who made a mold overnight, made it out of a sand mold, and then sent it over after careful polishing. Zhou Xiaoshan explained.

"Not bad, not bad!" Guan Fei inspected dozens of plastic components, and the edges were smooth, and it could be seen that the polishing was very fine.

Although it was rushed, it was not shoddy.

These plastic components are not complicated, mainly in many shapes, in addition to oval sheets, there are more than a dozen categories such as small plastic fans and square frames. It's not difficult to do, but to do it all in such a short time, and then after careful polishing, it is worth commendating.

It is worthy of being a commercial city.

"Commander, what is this? It looks like a plastic toy, but there are electronic components embedded underneath......" Pan Meifeng asked delicately.

Guan Fei checked the accounts, and Zhou Xiaoshan and a group of others were reprimanded. Although they were all let go in the end, everyone was even more in awe of him. In particular, Mao Xiuning, who did not fulfill his supervisory duties, was immediately ordered to be transferred back to the military sub-district, and everyone was frightened by his iron-fisted rectification. Pan Meifeng has been following Zhou Xiaoshan closely these days, always thinking about how to please Guan Fei, and even put down her favorite shopping.

"It's a building block, an electronic building block." Guan Fei didn't put up a shelf, smiled and selected more than a dozen plastic components from the box, put them together with each other, connected a plastic battery box, and finally assembled the plastic fan blades vertically to quickly form a plastic fan.

"Is this a fan?" Zhou Xiaoshan's eyes straightened when he saw it.

He and Pan Meifeng tried many combinations, but they didn't spell out anything valuable. Guan Fei just randomly selected some plastic pieces and put them together to form a small fan.

"Get two No. 7 batteries!" Guan Fei is very satisfied with the assembly result.

These plastic components are very easy for him to put together, and there is no mismatch, which shows that the mold is doing well. Hong Kong is the toy capital of the world, and it is indeed superb, and the speed and quality of its products are not to be said.

Zhou Xiaoshan hurriedly found two new No. 7 batteries and handed them over.

Although he knew it was a toy at first glance, he was already interested in the new toy. Boys are born with a creative desire, and building blocks can be said to have been played by every child in the world, and they are the favorite of children in their childhood.

Even for mainland children who live in poverty, building blocks have accompanied them through many days and nights.

Of course, Zhou Xiaoshan played with building blocks, and he loved to play when he was a child. It was only when he went to elementary school that he gradually gave up this kind of toddler toys. But when he saw the new type of building blocks in front of him that started with "electronics", he was immediately interested.

Guan Fei stuffed two No. 7 batteries into the battery compartment, closed the baffle, and flicked his fingers on the switch.

The current is turned on, and the small motor drives the plastic fan blades, blowing a cool breeze.

"It's turned!"

Zhou Xiaoshan and Pan Meifeng screamed happily, feeling that this thing was really interesting. Some simple electronic components, put together, can actually form their usual electric fan, although it is pocket-sized, but it is even more interesting.

"It's a potentiometer switch, and when you flip it, the current intensity changes, and the fan speed adjusts accordingly."

Under the guidance of Guan Fei, the two played with great interest like children.

"That's it! Now, let's show you what else these plastic gadgets can do! Guan Fei smiled and turned off the power, disassembled the connected plastic components, picked a few more plastic components from the box, and then quickly assembled them. After a while, another toy appeared in front of Zhou Xiaoshan and them.

"It's a car!"

Before Guan Fei finished fighting, both of them shouted excitedly.

All kinds of plastic components are put together into a small plastic car, with a front end, headlights, and four wheels. The blades of the fan last time became the steering wheel of the car, and the position of the motor was also shifted to the bottom of the car, connected to the front wheels.

Guan Fei smiled and turned on the switch, and the toy car moved, slowly moving forward at a not too fast speed.

He flipped another switch, and the headlights came on.

"Wow!"

Pan Meifeng exclaimed in amazement.

As the daughter of a successful businessman, she is already keenly aware of the market value of this toy. Although the car in front of you is not as delicate and beautiful as the toy cars sold on the market, this kind of car made purely by hand will give children a strong sense of accomplishment in creation.

Under their urging, Guan Fei continued to use various components to assemble one electronic toy after another. It's just dozens of simple pieces of plastic, embedded with a single component, but they are like a variety of King Kong, with endless variations, and they have fun with it.

In the end, Guan Fei instructed them to assemble a radio by themselves.

When the power switch is turned on, through the FM knob, they find a radio station that is broadcasting in Hong Kong, and hear the clear sound of music coming from the exposed speakers, and the two of them have reached the peak of their feelings about this set of electronic building blocks.

Simple components, not simple gameplay!

For Guan Fei, who designed this kind of electronic building block, they were even more impressed, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at him.

Zhou Xiaoshan is not bad, he has always had a deep admiration for Guan Fei, and he knows that Guan Fei is not an ordinary person. Even if the commander made another very novel and interesting thing, he was just amazed and delighted, and couldn't put it down in his hand, and relied on his memory with great interest to restore the spelling that Guan Fei had just taught them.

Pan Meifeng is different.

As the daughter of a successful businessman who grew up in Hong Kong, where there is a strong business atmosphere, her feelings are even stronger.

If Guan Fei just showed very strong technical skills, she would forget it after a short period of amazement. Although Hong Kong is a barren place of electronic technology, there are also electronic masters from Europe and the United States, and the level is not necessarily lower than that of Guan Fei. All kinds of interesting electronic circuits assembled in front of you, as long as you give an idea, you can do it for the vast majority of electronic enthusiasts.

But creativity is different!

It is not surprising that the various interesting circuits spliced by Guan Fei, to be honest, have prototypes in real life. But the idea of using a simple set of plastic components to make fun electronic building blocks for children to play with is the kind of innovation in thinking that she envies.

This is true for arcade games, and now it is also true for this set of electronic building blocks.

As long as you have seen it, you will suddenly say "I see" small design, but it is difficult for ordinary people to combine various accustomed phenomena in reality with product development, and boldly try to develop new products.

Innovation, what is innovation?

It doesn't mean that you have to dare to be the first in the world and try to do what ordinary people dare not do, so it is called innovation. It is an innovation to be able to discover the essence of ordinary things that others cannot discover, carry them forward, and create unexpected value.

This set of electronic building blocks can be said to be unremarkable, at a glance, anyone can understand the principle, and immediately imitate it, or even more ingeniously designed.

But there is an old saying that the first one to eat crabs is a warrior, and it is worthy of admiration. The second one who eats crabs, that's following the trend. The nth one who eats crabs, that's just a handan toddler, who only cares about learning people every day, and in the end may even forget how to go.

Guan Fei's success lies in the fact that he doesn't follow the trend!

All of the products he developed were original and had no similar products on the market before. Since he was the first person to eat crabs, when he was eating, everyone was just watching, and no one was competing with him, so that he could get the maximum return with the least investment.

In the field of arcade machines, although Taiyu Technology has only been established for a year, it has already enjoyed a good reputation in the industry. Space Invaders is the first of its kind in a new video game and is a big hit. The subsequent "Lianliankan" and "Bubble Dragon" were both successful although they were not as amazing as "Space Invaders". Nowadays, many video game developers have regarded Taiyu Technology as an industry leader, and they are closely watching every move of Taiyu Technology and imitating it.

A nascent enterprise can become an industry leader in just one year, if it does not have the spirit and courage to eat crabs, how can it be done?

"How's this set of toys? Hong Kong is known as the toy capital, so promoting it shouldn't be a big problem, right? Guan Fei didn't let them continue to indulge in it, and asked.

"Absolutely! I dare to pack tickets, this set of toys will definitely sell well! Zhou Xiaoshan seemed to have returned to his childhood, wearing a box containing plastic components, having a lot of fun, and patting his chest to reassure Guan Fei without thinking.

Pan Meifeng was not as categorical as him, thought for a while, and then said: "The playability of toys is needless to say. This set of electronic building blocks is quite low in cost because it is composed of some simple plastic components and embedded components. This set is only about 20 Hong Kong dollars. If the mold is specially opened, the cost will be lower. If it is sold externally, I can guarantee that the price is set at more than 100 Hong Kong dollars, and the sales will definitely be good. However, there is a problem with electronic building blocks, that is, they are too simple......"

"It's simple, but there's a lot to play!" Zhou Xiaoshan didn't understand his girlfriend's implied words for a while, so he retorted on the matter.

"Meifeng means that this set of toys is easy to counterfeit!" Guan Fei smiled, after all, Zhou Xiaoshan has been engaged in business for too short a time, and his thinking has not completely changed. and Pan Meifeng, who grew up in a business-oriented environment since childhood, is indeed incomparable.

"That's right! The commander is right, that's what he meant! Therefore, if we want to sell to the outside world, we must do a good job in several points: first, we must apply for patents as soon as possible, not only local patents, but also Europe, America and Japan, so as to delay the time for counterfeit manufacturers to enter the market and obtain more lucrative returns; Second, it is to expand production capacity, quickly distribute goods, and quickly occupy the market; Third, it is brand promotion, so that users can form dependence on our brand, so that even if counterfeit manufacturers enter, we can ensure that we have enough market share! Pan Meifeng's beautiful eyes flickered, and she snapped her fingers and quickly analyzed.

"Good! Very good! ”

Guan Fei applauded again and again, and expressed his appreciation to Pan Meifeng for coming up with these practical and targeted opinions in a blink of an eye.

To be honest, in terms of business acumen, Pan Meifeng is far better than Zhou Xiaoshan. Don't look at her previous ignorance of the family business, that's because her father has absolute authority, she just needs to enjoy the fruits of her father's creation. In the past six months or so, she and Zhou Xiaoshan are as good as glue, because Xiaoshan is a novice, many business things do not know much, to ask her for advice, but Xiaoshan's progress is not as fast as Pan Meifeng.

In less than a year, Pan Meifeng is still the delicate eldest lady, but she already has considerable business management ability, and all kinds of brains and thinking far surpass Zhou Xiaoshan.

Guan Fei's mind turned sharply, and then he said: "I don't plan to hand over this electronic building block to Taiyu Technology." Meifeng, are you interested in doing this project? ”

"Me?"

Pan Meifeng was stunned, and grabbed her collar with her hand, obviously very moved by Guan Fei's proposal.

"Why don't you leave it to Taiyu Technology?"

Zhou Xiaoshan was having a good time, and when he heard Guan Fei's words, he was stunned for a moment, quickly raised his head, and asked eagerly.
