Returning to the restaurant again, this time it was Ma Fuyuan's turn to take the initiative to talk to Duan Yun about the technical exchange of foreign exchange.

With a colorful tape recorder, Duan Yun was able to pay more than 6 million taxes last year, it is impossible for Ma Fuyuan not to envy in his heart, and the internal supply price of electronic raw materials of their group company is relatively low, plus there is a full set of tape recorder production lines of Japan's Sanyo Company, if the key core tape recorder motor technology is mastered, then it is entirely possible for the Chunmei Electronics Factory under his group to surpass Tianyin Electronics Factory.

"You give me $3 million in foreign exchange, let's exchange it at a ratio of 1:4.5, this price is already very fair......," Duan Yun proposed.

"You will be given a maximum of $2 million, but at a ratio of 1:6!"

"The ratio of 1:6 is too high, if you are happy enough, Manager Ma, I can transfer a full set of subwoofer speaker production technology to your group company......"

"Your subwoofer products are not very technical, and many companies under our group can produce them. ”

"But the problem is that our factory's Tianyin subwoofer has patent rights in the world, and the export has exceeded 3 million for two consecutive years, if you are willing to accept my conditions, I can authorize your group to export subwoofer products!"

Duan Yun and Ma Fuyuan bargained so-so, until the end of the banquet, and finally reached an agreement, Duan Yun transferred the production technology of colorful tape recorder motors and the foreign patent authorization of subwoofer audio, in exchange for an agreement of 1:4.5 for 2.8 million US dollars, and the two agreed to meet again at the hotel tomorrow morning and officially sign the contract.

At present, Duan Yun still has more than 200,000 US dollars left over from the last purchase of the production line, plus the 2.8 million US dollars in exchange this time, a total of 3 million US dollars in foreign exchange retention, which is already a considerable amount.

For Duan Yun, foreign exchange is too useful for him, and the domestic RMB can only buy some raw materials, and if he wants to buy advanced technology and equipment, he can only buy it abroad through foreign exchange.

Karaoke has been popular in Japan for many years, and the related technology has already matured, with the 3 million US dollars in hand, it is completely enough to buy a second-hand production line, but Duan Yun must keep his eyes open to ensure that the products he buys are cost-effective and the technology will not lag too far behind.

Compared with the Walkman product, karaoke equipment is very difficult to make, before the 90s, no domestic manufacturer can produce karaoke recorder, until 1991, the state invested more than 300 million yuan, supported 11 designated production plants with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million units, but because of poor quality, the final production reduction became an annual production of 150,000 units, even so, the return rate is still very high, the development of domestic video recorders is difficult.

In the early years, karaoke machines generally used cassette, until the mid-90s VCD and DVD machines appeared, and karaoke began to be popular in large quantities across the country.

That is to say, if Duan Yun wants to make karaoke, he must master the production technology of the video recorder, but the production technology threshold of the video recorder is extremely high, before the 90s, there has never been a domestic enterprise that can imitate the Japanese video recorder products, which is the most technically difficult is the mechanical part of the video recorder, especially the magnetic drum of the video recorder, the required precision is very high, and the ordinary lathe can not meet the requirements at all, and only the high-precision CNC lathe can be mass-produced.

Duan Yun's Longteng Machinery Factory has two advanced Taiwanese CNC machine tools, from this point of view, he is more suitable for the production and development of karaoke recorders than other domestic manufacturers, only need to introduce relevant production technology, Duan Yun can try to produce.

In addition to the magnetic drum of the video recorder, the circuit board components inside the video recorder are also very precise, which require Duan Yun to introduce digestion technology from abroad, and then carry out the innovation of the production process, so as to finally produce a domestic karaoke recorder with reliable quality.

Speaking of which the state also attaches great importance to the video recorder, due to the consumption of foreign exchange is too serious, in the 80s to the 90s has been one of the 24 kinds of commodities that belong to the state to restrict imports, the legal sales channel of foreign video recorder manufacturers in China is the friendship overseas Chinese store system with duty-free import rights, and the imported video recorders purchased by ordinary consumers in various social and commercial outlets are either smuggled parallel imports, or smuggled or essential oils seized by the customs, and the commercial sector purchases and distributes the license number, which is sold in various provinces and cities in the mainland.

According to the statistics of the Japanese customs at that time, Japan sold 3.2 million Chinese-standard video recorders to Hong Kong in 1991, most of which flowed into the mainland market through smooth smuggling channels, and from January to July 1991, the domestic customs seized more than 1,600 smuggled video recorders, but there were 1.16 million video recorders sold nationwide during the same period, which shows that the domestic market has a very large demand for imported video recorders.

In fact, as early as 1983, some people in China proposed the development of domestic video recorder industry, but after a long period of discussion and demonstration, in 1987, it came to the conclusion that "video recorder is an advanced consumer product in China, and it is not easy to develop prematurely".

But in 1989, the Japanese video recorder was under a strong advertising offensive, opened the door to China in one fell swoop, stimulated the Chinese people's desire to consume, and the sales volume was very considerable, and the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of the People's Republic of China has identified 11 video recorder designated production plants, but unfortunately the golden age of the development of the domestic video recorder industry has passed, which is very sad.

And now there are nearly three years before 1989 when a large number of Japanese video recorders entered the domestic market, if Duan Yun can grasp this opportunity, then his Tianyin Electronics Factory will have the opportunity to become the overlord of the domestic video recorder industry.

Duan Yun also plans to start the production of VCDs and DVD recorders on the Internet after accumulating the technology to produce cassette recorders, so as to occupy most of the domestic market share before Japanese electronics companies seize the domestic market.

Three days before the Spring Festival on February 9, Duan Yun finally signed a contract with Ma Fuyuan, Duan Yun exchanged 12.6 million yuan for 2.8 million US dollars in foreign exchange retention, which also gave Duan Yun more than 3 million US dollars in foreign exchange, and in exchange, Duan Yun handed over a full set of production process materials of video recorder micro motors to Shenzhen Electronics Group, and allowed them to send two technicians to Tianyin Electronics Factory for training and study.

Ma Fuyuan is still very satisfied with this transaction, because once they master the production technology of high-performance tape recorder motors, they do not have to import tape recorder motors from Japan at a high price, which can save a lot of foreign exchange, and also reduce the product cost of Chunlei Electronics Factory.

Of course, although Duan Yun agreed to transfer the production technology of the tape recorder motor, he still had reservations, Shenzhen Electronics Group got limited technology, and now Duan Yun Tianyin Electronics Factory's core dust-free workshop and magnetic head production line are still in a state of strict confidentiality, and all technical personnel have signed a strict confidentiality agreement.
