Chapter 400: Breaking Ground

"Manager Yu is being promoted, right? What does a production manager do? Zhou Shuo grinned, not ashamed of his question.

With tens of thousands of employees, if he knows the work content of each position, then he doesn't have to do any pioneering work. The day-to-day operation of the group mainly relies on the assistant general manager, the managers of subordinate departments and the group committee, and the group will naturally have the inertia of its own operation after the framework is put up.

Of course, Yu Juan will not laugh at Zhou Shuo's ignorance, but explains in the simplest way possible: "The production manager is not only responsible for the planning of product production, but also follows up the whole process from beginning to end. The original head of the production planning section is considered to be in charge of the rules, and the current production manager is in charge of the blocks. ”

To be honest, Zhou Shuo's impression of this Yu Juan is still good. It has nothing to do with whether she is his neighbor or not, but his intuition when looking at people. This is an unusual woman, she was the first batch of people to master computer office skills when the merger of Huaguang Factory was merged.

Zhou Shuo still remembers that the first time he met her was when he issued her an ERP key. At that time, Yu Juan looked like just an ordinary female office clerk, but she won the position of head of the planning section in one fell swoop in the assessment, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, and left those men behind.

Now for more than a year, she has not stopped at her original achievements, but has jumped from the comfortable position of department director to the position of production manager with complicated and unfamiliar affairs.

Just with this heart, Zhou Shuo felt that this woman was not simple.

"What do you think, how about MP3?" Zhou Shuo said tentatively: "The current sales of this product in the Japanese market are good. If it is sold in China, will it also be popular? ”

Although Zhou Shuo is inferior to Yu Juan and Meng Wei in terms of age. But it's like an instructive question. But no one thinks it's any wonder. On the contrary, Yu Juan hit a spirit, knowing that this would probably be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for herself. Hurriedly lifted his spirit to think.

"When it comes to Japan's achievements, I don't think they can be used as domestic guidance." Yu Juan thought for a moment and said cautiously: "The Japanese are not only rich, but also have a high computer popularization process and high user experience, and MP3 has no obstacles in the process of use, so it can be sold better." ”

"But if you change the domestic situation, it will fall one by one, and the export price of MP3 is hundreds of dollars, and it will cost seven or eight hundred yuan to convert into yuan, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make up their minds to buy. Even if I bought it. Without a computer, you can't store songs and use them, which greatly limits the scope of its use. Only a few people from very well-off families who are computer literate will buy and use ......"

Zhou Shuo was a little surprised by Yu Juan's keen sense, which is why he has not promoted MP3 into the market in China. It was not until 2,000 years later that the MP3 market in China would flourish, when the number of personal computers in the country was already very high, and the development of the Internet also made it easier to obtain media articles. Even if the customer does not have the ability to change the music themselves, there must be people around who have such skills.

But these are all afterthoughts, a product that has proven to be selling well abroad. Yu Juan has the courage to deny its value in the Chinese market, which is very good.

Zhou Shuo nodded approvingly, and then asked with interest: "So, do you see if Fanhan Group pushes MP3 to the domestic market." Is it doomed? ”

"Not really!" What is surprising is that Yu Juan actually gave the opposite answer, looking at her happy rebuttal and sworn expression, it is obvious that she has been thinking about this question for more than a day.

"Oh?" Zhou Shuo was surprised. Obviously, she didn't expect that she would overturn her conclusion just now, and asked with interest: "What." Do you have any good ideas? ”

Not to mention that opportunities always favor those who are prepared, Yu Juan is just the production manager of MP3. It is not responsible for market sales, and the products are for export. If you come in with someone else, maybe you will figure out what you have in your own business, and then lie in this position and get some of the salary you deserve.

At most, it is to study more technology and capabilities in this position, optimize the production process, reduce production costs and other things.

But Yu Juan obviously not only can do her job well, but also put herself in a higher position to think about problems. As a boss, Zhou Shuo has to admit that it is really a very happy thing to have this kind of staff.

"I have two options." Yu Juan really has a ready-made solution, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "First, we can promote it one by one, one city, and the song can be solved by setting up a special service store through guΓ²." Our MP3 has all the patents, and all the key chips of the product are self-produced, so we don't have to worry about other manufacturers leading us to seize the market. In fact, our cost of changing a song is very limited, and the fee can be used to pay for rent and labor, and even outsource this service to other businesses. ”

"Well, that's a good idea." This is also the plan that Zhou Shuo originally considered, and later generations actually had similar businesses, but they did not develop and grow. The advantage is that the solution cost is low and the difficulty of marketing is low. But the disadvantages are also obvious, the coverage area is small, it is too troublesome for users to change songs, and it also brings additional management costs.

As long as you can build enough service stations in a city, MP3 doesn't have to worry about changing songs. But whether this additional cost will be acceptable is something that needs to be carefully verified.

"And what about a second way?" Zhou Shuo is really curious now, what else can Yu Juan do to solve this problem.

"The second way, in fact, is very simple, and that is to record songs." Yu Juan stroked the hair around her ears, and without waiting for Zhou Shuo to ask, she said confidently: "A song has less than 2 or 300K, and more than 7 or 800K, in fact, it can be transmitted by phone." Our MP3 itself has a recording function, and if you add a transcription attachment, you can convert the audio signal played on the phone into a digital signal......"

With Yu Juan's narration, Zhou Shuo's eyes couldn't help but widen! This is truly a novelty, and there has never been a similar solution in history. Although he didn't know how the market would accept Cheng DΓΉ, Zhou Shuo instinctively felt that this would be a good way to work.

In fact, the principle of the headset and microphone of the computer is the same, if the headset is inserted into the audio input hole, and then speak loudly to the headphone, the computer can also receive the audio signal.

Yu Juan's solution is similar: the audio input of the MP3 can be used as an accessory to capture specific audio signals broadcast on the phone. These signals are then converted into digital audio signals and played to MP3, and then MP3 records the restored audio. This is actually the same principle as a modem, except that it does not need to have the processing power of a modem, as long as it can process the function of collecting a number of signals, restoring the number of signals into digital audio, and then inputting the digital audio into MP3.

For the Pan Han Group, which eats network technology, designing such a small accessory is really a breeze.

With such a small thing, there is naturally no need to build service stations everywhere, as long as a service telephone line is set up. Users can dial a specific phone number through the GuΓ² Directory or a self-service service to select songs.

There is no redundant and redundant service station system, which saves management costs and greatly increases the convenience of users.

Even, Zhou Shuo realized that this was a good opportunity to promote the Internet! People who have used MP3 will be more receptive to the concept of the convenience of the Internet than others.

Yu Juan's second method can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone! It really solved Zhou Shuo's heart disease in the past few days, which made his heart really happy!

"Yes, yes! It's a good idea! It doesn't mean that after Juan finished speaking, Zhou Shuo had already made up the step brain behind her.

It is true that Zhou Shuo can wait a few more years, or sell MP3 as a luxury product for the time being. But with this plan, he can't wait to promote this product.

"Manager Yu, how's it going?" Zhou Shuo clapped his hands and smiled: "Would you like to come out of the electronics factory and be the manager of this MP3 sales company?" You don't have to worry about treatment, I can give you allotments, dividends, and salary increases! ”

"Me, really?" Yu Juan couldn't imagine that she had been appreciated by the big boss just by virtue of such words. This had to be placed two hundred years ago, could it be regarded as the dynasty for Tian Shelang and the twilight for Tianzitang?

She then looked to the side with some concern, as a wife she could not help but consider her husband's opinion.

"Husband, look at me, can I be this manager......" Although Yu Juan's eyes were full of longing, she didn't put any pressure on Meng Wei at all. Just gently hugged his arm and looked at him cautiously.

Meng Wei did not feel embarrassed at all that his wife's position would surpass his own, but encouraged her happily: "What do you see me doing? Mr. Zhou has taken a fancy to you, you have the ability to make this money, you can rest assured, I will definitely support you! ”

Zhou Shuo could see that Meng Wei was sincerely happy for Yu Juan, without the slightest difficulty. This is a very rare quality in this male society. It is also the result of Yu Juan's careful management of the relationship between the two, saving face for Meng Wei in front of outsiders, and asking her husband's opinion first when she encounters such a big good thing, and only such a husband and wife can have such a harmonious relationship.

"Then, then I'll be this manager!" Yu Juan nodded vigorously. (To be continued......)
