In this life, the birth of Li Kangping's version of the material wave preceded the Compton effect.

American physicists, as well as European physicists, at this time, mainly focused on the nature of light, and did not pay much attention to matter waves and promote matter waves.

In any case, Li Kangping laid out the layout in advance, he completed the low-energy electron diffraction experiment, and promoted the high-energy electron diffraction experiment behind the scenes.

All in all, Li Kangping hoped that the battle over the nature of light would be resolved as soon as possible, preferably within 1923.

Regarding the Eastern Bay Radio Company in Jersey City, Liu Shaowen has investigated clearly, and his findings are basically the same as those of the financial investment company.

On this day, Li Kangping and Liu Shaowen went to Jersey City, and they were received by Mr. Miller, the head of the Eastern Bay Radio Company.

The factory was about to collapse, and Mr. Miller forced himself to be happy, and he took Li Kangping and Liu Shaowen to visit the radio factory, and he wanted to sell the factory as soon as possible.

The factory of the Eastern Bay Radio Company is quite large, this factory used to have 1,000 workers, and it has a processing workshop, an assembly workshop, a warehouse, an office building and an annex building.

While total sales in the U.S. radio market continue to climb, competition is fierce.

The types of radios sold in the United States are ore machines and repeaters.

The patent protection of ore machines and repeaters has expired, which means that any radio factory in the United States can use the patented technology of ore machines and repeaters free of charge.

Competition is the competition of quality and marketing.

Everyone has mastered the patented technology of ore machine and straight stager, and on the basis of this technology, the competition is product quality.

Once the quality is guaranteed, then do marketing. Whoever does a good job in quality and marketing will be able to occupy an advantage in the $65 million radio market and make profits.

The Eastern Bay Radio Company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and they must not be doing well enough in terms of quality and marketing, and of course, there are also factors such as cost control and company management.

A successful enterprise must do well in the fields of R&D, production, quality assurance, marketing, cost control, personnel management, and system construction.

If one or two of the above elements fail, the company may be cold.

Most of the workshops at the East Bay Radio Factory have been shut down, and more than 100 loyal employees remain in the factory to work in production.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, if this deal is successful, I hope you will continue to hire these loyal staff." Mr. Miller said sadly, with emotion in sadness.

"Loyal employees are a company's most valuable asset." "Now, let's take a look at your products. ”

In the final assembly hall, finished radios are displayed.

The Eastern Bay brand radios are all "big cabinets", the highest "cabinet" is as high as Li Kangping, and the lowest "cabinet" is also to Li Kangping's lower abdomen.

Li Kangping put on headphones and tested an Eastern Bay brand ore machine.

Jazz music sounded in the headphones, and Li Kangping listened to it as he tuned it.

After a few minutes, Li Kangping took off the headphones and said, "With all due respect, the sensitivity of your ore machine is too low, and the sound quality is too poor. ”

Mr. Miller spread his hands and said, "Dr. Lee, you know, ore machines are like this. ”

"Okay, let's try the repeater."

Li Kangping continued to test the Eastern Bay brand repeater.

The player does not need headphones, it plays the sound through the reed speaker.

"Touchdown...... Zizi ...... He touched the ground and scored! ”

Li Kangping was debugging the tall repeater, and he listened to the live radio broadcast of the rugby game.

"Actually, there are some problems with your direct player, the sound quality is a little better, but it is still not clear, in addition, the sensitivity and selection indicators of the whole machine are not high." Li Kangping said objectively and fairly.

"Dr. Li, I know that you are a physicist, an inventor, the 'father of television', and a technical excellence, however, these technical problems you are talking about are not the problems of one of our radio companies, but the common problems of the entire radio industry. I'm sure you've done a survey on us, and we're okay with the quality of production, but we're having a little bit of a problem with marketing. Mr. Miller explained.

It seems that the pot of the Eastern Bay Radio Company has to be carried by the sales department of the company.

Li Kangping said: "You owe $460,000 in debt, and the interest is increasing every day, which is very troublesome, and this is a huge financial burden. ”

"When you buy a company, you are, of course, buying the company's debts together. Dr. Li, you are such a smart person, you don't know the market, you think you can buy a radio company with 1,000 people for only a hundred thousand dollars? You know, our 36 acres of land alone are worth $200,000! Mr. Miller exclaimed.

Li Kangping smiled slightly: "The sales of the product are not good, what is the value of the land that produces this product?" ”

"You ......" Mr. Miller blushed and trembled violently, and then he sighed, "Hey, Dr. Lee, you just have to tell me, do you buy our company or not?" ”

"Mr. Miller, we all know that this is hundreds of thousands of dollars — and counting these employees and subsequent construction, this is a big business of more than a million dollars, so I can't make a decision today, and I'll be back--- if you're welcome."

Li Kangping made a preliminary inspection of the factory area and products of the Eastern Bay Radio Company, and then left with Liu Shaowen.

"Kangping, you also know that this is a business of more than one million dollars, and it may be difficult for us to take over the Eastern Gulf Company." Liu Shaowen said with a solemn expression.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in acquisition costs, close to $500,000 in debt, and the salaries of more than 100 left-behind employees.

The Eastern Bay Radio Company had to prepare a million dollars in the initial stage.

If the scale of 1,000 people is restored, the annual investment cost is expected to reach 2 million US dollars.

If you want to make $2 million, then the output is worth $5 million, or even more.

The market share is 1/12 or 1/10, the difficulty is too high!

High difficulty means high risk.

So Mr. Miller couldn't do it anymore.

Mr. Miller's unfinished business, can Li Kangping complete?

Li Kangping suggested: "Brother Shaowen, you contact the bank and mortgage the Hera Mahjong Company to obtain a loan." ”

Liu Shaowen said uneasily: "Kangping, why don't you give up the radio business?" ”

"Radio business, wait and see, wait for my notice. The new loan can also be used to build a second mahjong factory. Brother Shaowen don't worry, you just need to apply for a loan. ”

Liu Shaowen felt a little relieved: "Hera Mahjong has a reputation in the market, if you take out a mortgage on the grounds of building a new Hera Mahjong second factory, you will definitely be able to borrow hundreds of thousands of US dollars." ”

"Hera Mahjong is a quality asset, while East Bay Radio is a non-performing asset. Therefore, we do not invest in the Eastern Bay Radio Company until we obtain the loan. There is Brother Lao Shaowen. ”

Li Kangping instructed him, and Liu Shaowen acted according to the plan.
