The Spring Festival of 1986 came as scheduled, on this day Duan Yun and Li Guosheng's two families got together, watched the Spring Festival Gala, ate a sumptuous dinner, the sound of firecrackers outside came one after another, and the gorgeous fireworks lit up the entire night sky.

During the Lunar New Year, Duan Yun began to pay New Year's greetings to these retired old professors who stayed in Shenzhen one by one, including Zhao Xuewu, these retired old professors have now been assigned houses, and the five people have been selected in a community, Duan Yun also hired a few people to take care of their food and clothing, which can be described as meticulous.

Just after the third day of the Lunar New Year, all these old professors in the product development center returned to work, plus some technicians who stayed in the local area and did not go home, are still busy with the final testing of the Walkman product.

Time came to the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Zhao Xuewu came to Duan Yun's office with a Walkman.

"Manager Duan, how about you take a look at this Walkman?" Zhao Xuewu said to Duan Yun with a smile.

"Forehead ......" After Duan Yun took the walkman, he suddenly felt his eyes light up.

Compared with the Walkman sample that Zhao Xuewu gave to Duan Yun last time, the appearance of this sample is obviously much more refined, the aluminum alloy shell is full of metallic texture, different from the square shell of the Japanese Walkman, the sample shell made this time has a bit of elegant streamlined design, it is very fashionable and has a sense of science and technology, and the designers of the art design department have obviously spent a lot of thought.

Since the positioning of the Walkman is young people, it is necessary to design for the aesthetics of young people, and in order to design the aesthetics that can meet the aesthetics of young people, the staff of the art design department also went to some universities in Shenzhen and Guangzhou to conduct some surveys, and finally selected the most popular design scheme among young people.

"This time it's really good, has the cost increased?" Duan Yun asked.

"We have a mechanical processing factory, which is nothing more than to make a mold for stamping, and the cost of an aluminum alloy shell is only about a few dollars, and the more it is produced, the cheaper it is. Zhao Xuewu said.

"Not bad!" Duan Yun nodded with satisfaction.

"Manager Duan, when are we going to start mass producing this Walkman?" Zhao Xuewu asked.

"At present, we have a lot of orders for colorful tape recorders, at least it will take more than a month to complete, Walkman I plan to produce small batches first, next month I will convene a meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce across the country, let them test market first, if the market response is good, then we can mass produce and put it on the market." Duan Yun said.

Duan Yun's next step is to complete the current order, all the colorful tape recorder products for outsourcing OEM production, the factory's production capacity began to gradually put on the production of Walkman products, which still has a lot to do.

But in any case, Duan Yun has taken the most critical step, the domestic walkman product is officially finalized, and there are no problems in terms of technology.

"That manager, now that the Walkman product has been finalized, the next step of our product R&D center ......"

"Master Zhao, how much do you know about things like video recorders?" Duan Yun asked.

"Video recorder?" Zhao Xuewu was stunned when he heard this, and asked Duan Yun in surprise: "You don't want our factory to develop a video recorder, do you?"

"Questions?"

"Video recorder technology is so difficult, it's not like a tape recorder and a Walkman. Zhao Xuewu frowned slightly, and then said: " 79 years before retirement, I was sent to the Southwest Research Institute to participate in the research of a domestic monitor, at that time there was a Japanese video recorder, several of our colleagues also worked together to study, the structure is very complex, the circuit integration is very high, and the mechanical part of the processing accuracy requirements are very demanding, with our most advanced technology at that time, it is impossible to make this high-performance video recorder, although it has been several years now, but I think that I want to make video recorder products and achieve mass production, with our domestic electronics industry and technical level is very difficult, the whole research and development process may take a lot of money and a long time......”

If the research and development of Walkman products is still a bit sure of Zhao Xuewu's technical background, then the difficulty of developing and producing video recorders is a bit ridiculously high for him.

Because the video recorder itself is the product of a variety of high-tech collections, not only involving electronic technology, but also raw materials and processing, etc., just one of the small coating formulas, it is enough to study for a period of time, without enough systems and advanced professional equipment, it is simply impossible to mass-produce video recorders.

"If one year is not enough, it will be two years, if two years is not enough, it will be three years, you can tell me what equipment and how much money you need, all in all, you just have to do your best. Duan Yun Zhengse said.

In fact, Zhao Xuewu's reaction was expected by Duan Yun, and Duan Yun also knew the difficulty of developing video recorders, he had more than 30 years of technical background beyond this era, and he could design advanced video recorder products, but limited to the current lack of advanced equipment and technology in China, so Duan Yun's many good ideas and design solutions could not be easily realized.

So now Duan Yun actually doesn't have much hope for Zhao Xuewu to develop a video recorder production process, his plan is to first earn enough capital accumulation by producing tape recorders and walkman products, and finally achieve his goal through the introduction of foreign production technology and equipment, as well as international technical cooperation.

"That'...... Okay!" Zhao Xuewu nodded.

"Don't be busy with the research and development of video recorders for the time being, the main task of your R&D center this year is to upgrade the Walkman products, our goal is not only to occupy the domestic Walkman market, but also to strive to export the products to foreign countries, so that our Walkman has become an internationally competitive product, it is not easy to achieve this goal, we need to work together. Duan Yun said.

For Duan Yun,The international market is more tempting to him than the domestic market,Duan Yun is ready to discuss with the Shenzhen Municipal Government,See if the foreign exchange in exchange for the speaker products exported by their factory can be left in a certain proportion,Of course, Duan Yun needs to talk to Mayor Li face-to-face about this matter,Whether the other party can agree is still unknown。

In fact, at present, many domestic enterprises introduce foreign capital into joint ventures in order to obtain foreign exchange, but the mainland is very strict in the review of joint ventures, and joint ventures in Shenzhen are currently not allowed to sell products domestically, so this method is not feasible for Duan Yun.

In addition, he doesn't want his company to become a joint-stock enterprise, which is not to say that Duan Yun is reluctant to give money to others, but doing so may cause him to lose a certain amount of corporate decision-making power, which is something he absolutely cannot accept.
