Chapter 38 Be Your Own Solo Player

"Return your company? Isn't it just a pig farm?" Fan Heng didn't know how much energy his son had.

Fan Wuxi snorted twice, and said with some dissatisfaction, "This is a big business, at least to ensure the comfort of your factory for ten years, if you don't want to do it, forget it, there is no need to bury me." ”

"Really? Just this thing? Fan Heng didn't believe his son's statement.

"Is it interesting for me to lie to you?" Fan Wuxian looked at his father innocently.

Others don't know the market prospect of the Walkman, but Fan Wuxian knows it very well.

From the launch of Sony's Walkman to the market and the sales of 250 million units in the following 18 years, it is a bit jaw-dropping that a single brand can do this.

Fan Wuxian is not very clear, among the 250 million Walkman, how many are sold in China, but this number will not be very small. Thinking that so many banknotes were being grabbed by people in a steady stream, Fan Wuxi's heart was very uncomfortable.

The Walkman may have some technical content, but it will not be very high. Many domestic manufacturers, if they invest a certain amount of production efficiency in this area, can be more than competent. Even if the quality of the domestic head is not comparable to the head made by Sony Seiko, it is enough to listen to music.

However, Fan Wuxian also knows that the current situation in China is that the enterprises are all state-owned, the production plan is very limited, and the smaller workshops are simply unable to produce and develop electrical appliances like the Walkman.

More than ten years later, the small electrical bed board factories all over the country have not yet risen, which has led to the inability of large factories to produce, and the inability of small factories to produce. It is this strange circle that limits the domestic production capacity of small electrical appliances, and allows foreign brands to flood the market and dominate the domestic market for 20 years.

"As long as the policy of restricting recording equipment is not lifted, this kind of thing will not become popular." Fan Heng said with some emotion after experimenting with the recording effect of the Walkman.

Looking at the face of the policy to determine the direction of the market, this is also the reality of many state-owned enterprises in the early stage of reform.

As long as you don't violate the policy, you can maintain this business, you can reduce production, you can lose money, you can become insolvent, these are not problems, as long as you are obedient, someone will naturally come to clean up the mess for you. All faults can be attributed to getting stuck in the mud while crossing the river by feeling the stones, which is normal.

But if you hit the policy, or go against the policy, then even if you can make a company vibrant, vibrant, or even make huge profits, this is not right. Looking at the current leadership of the company, they are high-spirited, but they may be dragged down by a report letter at any time, and then lose everything.

Fan Heng knows this, he has been in a state-owned enterprise for too long, and he is used to this kind of thing.

Fan Wuxi also knows this, more often than not, he has been exposed to it for a long time before he was reborn, and he has heard people talk about those hardships and those last resorts. But Fan Wuxian knows a little more than Fan Heng, that is, the fence must be broken after all, and some outdated policies are always to be changed.

Just like the current problem of the limitation of recording equipment, it is possible to completely avoid obstacles and develop from another aspect.

"Why do you have to focus on recording equipment? If we only make a single player, won't all the problems that exist at present be solved? Fan Wuxian took out the red recording key from the pile of equipment and shook it in front of his father's eyes.

"Take the recording function out? Only keep the function of playback? Fan Heng was stunned for a moment.

Fan Heng never conceived of this possible surname, and in his education, making products should be of good quality and cheap, and not opportunistic. The things made should meet the basic needs of the people, and the lowest possible cost should be used to make the most powerful products.

However, Fan Heng has never done this cutting corners, and he has never thought about it.

"That's right! All we have to do is play the machine! Fan Wuxian laughed, he suddenly found that he was very genius, and he actually thought of a solution at once.

No wonder! Originally, I thought that the single player was the product of cutting corners, but I didn't expect that there was a saying that the production of recording equipment was restricted in China. It seems that all geniuses have one thing in common, that is, they can cut corners with confidence! Fan Wuxi's heart was happy. He suddenly thought of the reason why Sony's Walkman entered the mainland market late, but it was the national policy that affected it, and at the same time, he also thought about why domestic electronics manufacturers have not been developing in small recording equipment for a long time, but they are also affected by this inexplicable policy.

However, this policy is also a double-edged sword, it is very likely to limit the market, and it may also give birth to a new market.

With this kind of awareness, Fan Wuxi suddenly felt that the market in front of him suddenly opened up.

Don't you guys don't let you mess with recording equipment casually? Then I'll get the sound playback equipment!

Anyway, for most young people, it is easy to get a single player, listen to the singing voices of their favorite stars, and show off their advantages in front of their peers.

As for the part of the recording function that was removed, you can add it back at any time, but that's a different product.

In other words, the VCR that could have been done in one step could be sold twice by Fan Wuxi, one single player and one VCR. How many market opportunities will this increase? Fan Wuxi didn't think clearly for a while.

But one thing, Fan Wuxian is clear.

At present, the Walkman launched by Sony is with a recording function, and it is estimated that they have not considered that this kind of oolong thing will happen when it is promoted to the Chinese mainland market. At present, the overseas market prospects are very good, and they will definitely not change the production line because of a Chinese mainland that has not yet developed a luxury consumer market.

Arrogance is their consistent position, and Fan Wuxian is convinced of this.

Preconceived and dominating the rivers and lakes of the domestic audio-visual market, how attractive is this cake?

"Let's make our own single-player machine!" Fan Wuxi clenched his fists and said to his father Fan Heng.
