In the following days, Chen Zhiwen went to different villas every day, and there were some conscientious cleaners who cleaned everything clean.

Chen Zhiwen, who felt a little tired in the past few days, came to the Red Bull factory, Qin Zhihao has gone on a business trip to Germany, and the current person in charge of the Red Bull factory is the company's vice president Wang Jinlai, who is one of the senior executives of the United Soda Factory before, and Red Bull naturally needs to rely on these former senior executives after the acquisition of United Soda.

After taking a turn around the factory, Chen Zhiwen asked, "Is there any news from Qin Zhihao?" ”

"Chen Sheng, I received a call from Qin Sheng last night, he praised the equipment in Germany very much, although the price is expensive, but the production capacity is very high, and in terms of maintenance, there is almost no one in Hong Kong who understands their equipment control, he is worried that if the equipment goes wrong, it will have a great impact." Wang Jin said.

"The price is expensive and can be discussed, and as long as the efficiency is high, it is not a problem to be expensive, and the after-sales service is indeed troublesome." Chen Zhiwen nodded, don't talk about Hong Kong now, it is estimated that there are not many people who even understand RB control logic, and it is a trivial matter for the Germans to extort a sum of money when the equipment is broken, and it is a big deal to delay their own production and affect the delivery plan.

Wang Jinlai continued: "Qin Sheng's meaning is that we will send a few people to Germany to study, and learn this set of technology, at least the maintenance technology." ”

"It's not that easy." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "Let him send the model data of the German equipment by air, if we can, we will buy a few more, and in terms of maintenance, we will directly dig two engineers from Germany to Hong Kong, and the money will be in place." ”

In this era, the wages of Europeans and Americans are much higher than those in Hong Kong, but they are nothing to the rich in Hong Kong.

"Okay, we've made an appointment to talk on the phone tonight, and I'll let him know when the time comes." Wang Jin said.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded, in the 70s, the communication efficiency was so low, you had to make an appointment in advance, the person who answered the phone had to wait in advance, and the information could only be mailed by letter, even if it was an international express, you had to wait for a few days, which made Chen Zhiwen very nostalgic for the previous WeChat.

After leaving the Red Bull factory, Chen Zhiwen went to the Midea factory next door, compared to the busy flying Red Bull next door, the Midea side is much worse, although the northern hemisphere is still very hot, but it is almost the end of the summer season, the fan side has also begun to be idle, and then it will enter the stage of hoarding production, entering the off-season, and the radio is about the same, in addition to the car business, the civilian aspect, Chen Zhiwen basically only asks to maintain the same, will not invest too many resources.

"Old Lei, this radio is similar to a cassette player, right?" Chen Zhiwen touched a radio and said suddenly.

"Some of the tape players look like a radio." Lei Shengli seemed to understand what the boss meant.

Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "Although the profit margin of the car radio business is not bad, but the auto parts industry is not so easy to expand, it is difficult to form a large scale in recent years, I am not optimistic about the radio business, although I am also ready to make televisions, but it is also difficult to become a scale in recent years, we have to find a way to make some other products, to feed so many workers who make radios, right?" ”

The radio market, in fact, in the 70s and even the 80s has a large scale, but this thing has been born for decades, the technology is simple, whether it is Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and even some countries in Southeast Asia can be produced, the market has long been saturated, at the same time, TV is also grabbing the radio market, even if the channel of the United States is still there, there are hundreds of thousands of sales a month, but Chen Zhiwen knows that it will not last for a few years, the history of global electronics, is the early 80s business is very miserable, Then it changed hands cheaply to an RB enterprise.

As for the mainland, which will be reopened in a few years, there is indeed a great demand for radios, but this market cannot be opened to the outside world, and the purpose of reopening is to earn foreign exchange, not to send the market out so that outsiders can earn foreign exchange from the mainland government, unless it is some special industry, otherwise, don't think about it before 90 years, and by 90 years, radios are basically about to be eliminated in China.

Of course, it is also possible to enter the country through special methods, but this method is not big, and it is not necessary for Chen Zhiwen.

The music player is different, although it also appeared early, but it is not popular, and there is still a large market in the future.

"The principle of the music player is not difficult, and the structure is even simpler than the radio, so it is not difficult for us to do it." Lei Shengli thought for a while and said.

"I don't want to be the most ordinary music player, I want to make a premium one, at least the sound quality should be good." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "The target market is still Europe and the United States, and I am still responsible for the channel, you just make the product, the positioning is miniaturized, not so big and heavy, find a balance between sound quality, price and weight." ”

Miniaturization is actually also the requirements of the major electronic groups for music players, in a few years Sony will launch the Walkman, the most classic portable music player, 20 years of sales of 200 million units is enough to make anyone and even the country red, but this requires a very high technical foundation, the United States obviously does not have this ability, but if you just study the music player placed in the room, it should be no problem, as long as the cost can be controlled, plus Chen Zhiwen is about to build a sales channel, It should be no problem to get a certain market.

"Then I have to buy all kinds of music players around the world for reference." Lei Shengli said with a smile.

"No problem, buy it, I just want to see what the current player looks like." Chen Zhiwen agreed, and said: "In addition, find a group of primary school students to choose, see which type they like, and you need to pay attention to their opinions." ”

"Elementary school students?" Lei Shengli didn't quite understand.

"A child's choice is the best and easiest." Chen Zhiwen didn't explain much, just said with a smile.

It is said that when Apple's first generation of mobile phones were developed, many children were allowed to choose to try different functions to choose the most suitable ones, and the results were said to be very good.

Music players may not be the same, but adults have a lot of their own opinions, and when judging products, they may not be as good as children who rely on their own interests.

"Okay, I'll go and arrange the purchase first." Lei Shengli nodded and said.

"Let's study it, there is a chance to develop in this direction." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Sony's Walkman in later generations can be said to be the largest gold mine in the electronics industry before personal computers, and Chen Zhiwen is naturally very interested, but there are many patent restrictions in tape technology, and it is not possible to have any advantages if you have the memory of later generations.

But the radio business is indeed already in the twilight, the transformation is difficult to try, even if it can't become the top stream, it is enough to get a certain market, as long as there is a certain market share, you can stabilize and develop slowly, the tape era may not be able to seize any opportunities, but the digital age is not necessarily.
