Flash memory is divided into nor type and NAND type.
NOR flash memory is more like memory, with independent address line and data line, but the price is more expensive and the capacity is smaller; NAND is more like a hard disk. The address line and data line share the same IO line. All information of a hard disk is transmitted through a hard disk line. Moreover, compared with NOR flash memory, NAND has lower cost and much larger capacity.
Mobile phones are big users of NOR flash memory, accounting for more than 60% of nor memory, so the "memory" capacity of mobile phones is usually small; NAND flash memory is mainly used to store data, such as flash disk and digital memory card.
At present, the world's four major flash memory manufacturers mainly focus on NOR flash memory, supplemented by NAND. The profit of nor type is also higher, which causes the limited sales of NAND flash memory. Nowadays, the main NAND flash applications are mainly in the "U disk" market, but the motherboard does not support it, which is also the reason why "U disk" can not be popularized.
In the first half of 2001, the sales of 32m flash memory and 64M flash memory were 1.028 million and 1.227 million respectively. Lin Feng's MP3 players are mainly based on these two flash memory specifications. Those less than 32m (such as 16m) can store too few songs, while those higher than 64M (128M) are too expensive now, which is not suitable for China's national conditions.
Only with the order of one million chips can the price of flash memory chip drop sharply. According to Tan Zhi, if the price drops by half, one million 32m chips will cost at least 70 million yuan, but it's actually more than that.
In terms of 32m flash memory capacity, an mp3 can only store 8 songs in 32m flash memory, which is too few for consumers. The 64M flash memory can store 16 songs, which is barely enough. So I'm afraid 64M flash chips account for half of the total. In this way, 64M flash memory chips also have to place one million orders, and only these two orders need to spend about 200 million at a time.
The registered capital of 100 million is not enough at all, so we must increase investment.
Lin Feng calculated. Although he now has 1.08 billion working capital, he has to repay the 100 million loan of Chushi bank, purchase 4% Baidu shares (about 34.8 million RMB) of IDG venture capital fund with 4.3 million US dollars, invest 5 million RMB in 3721 Technology Co., Ltd., and spend 70 million RMB for 12.5% shares of Baidu. He is about to purchase 24.78% of defengjie venture capital fund, with an estimated 200 million RMB, We also invested 100 million yuan in Linshi Technology Co., Ltd.
After careful calculation, the disposable working capital on hand is only 570 million yuan. Although it is not impossible to continue to invest 100 million more in MP3 players, the question is whether it is worth it.
In the future, the flash memory market will certainly have a bright future, but Lin Feng knows that the price of the flash memory market will also avalanche with the increase of the types of flash memory applications. In my memory, half a year later, the price of flash memory will drop sharply. Is it worth investing 200 million in half a year?
Lin Feng fell into thinking about the future of the company. Tan Zhi said nothing and did not disturb Lin Feng's thinking. In fact, this time is also a test for Lin Feng. Test whether Lin Feng has the ambition, or ambition, worthy of his life. Tan Zhi is by no means a man willing to be ordinary. He longs for big scenes and stands on the world stage. Therefore, he needs a boss who is not willing to be ordinary, even ambitious and ambitious.
If you follow the normal procedure, book 30000-50000 32m and 64M flash memory chips, and continue to place orders according to the market sales. But in this way, it is bound to be unable to reduce costs, 300 yuan MP3 player is not to think about. But if the price is high, with the consumption power of the domestic market, the sales volume is bound to be poor. In that case, why not gamble once.
It's true that there are a large number of one million orders, which have equaled the global sales in the first half of 2001. It's a miracle to want a company to swallow so many goods now, but the future prospect of flash memory market is absolutely predictable. Moreover, Tan Zhi also has a plan, which can ensure that the company will not lose a cent, or even make a lot of money.
However, Tan Zhi did not tell Lin Feng about the plan in advance. He wanted to test whether Lin Feng had such ambition and spirit. If so, Tan Zhi decided to sell his life to Lin Feng and help him build the company, which mainly produces MP3 and other electronic products, into a world-famous electronic technology company. If not, he is ready to leave as soon as possible.
This is a simple two-way choice!
However, to tan Zhixin's relief, Lin Feng did not disappoint him.
"Just two million orders. I think I can still eat them, and I have confidence in you." Lin Feng is already connected. If he wins the two million orders, he will be able to lower the price of MP3 players and seize the MP3 market in China. Of course, it's impossible to sell 2 million units, but it can definitely create a good reputation for the company, which money can't buy.
If it's a big deal, you can lose 200 million at most. You can afford to lose 200 million by yourself, let alone temporarily. If the MP3 player market can be the only one, the future profit will be far more than 200 million.
"Ha ha, Mr. Lin, this is a plan I made for the two million flash chip orders. I call it" Tiangou. " Tan Zhi hands Lin Feng a business plan.
Lin Feng turns over the plan, and the whole person is immediately attracted by the plan in the plan.
This business plan has only one theme - integration. It's too hard for Lin Feng to swallow the two million orders. Tan Zhi is going to adopt the strategy of "sharing and eating", so that the domestic and even the entire Asian flash memory companies can share equally. In this way, Lin Feng's company will bear less pressure, and at the same time, it can develop the "U disk" market. To achieve this goal, we must "build momentum". This is what Tan Zhi said before, I'm afraid it will offend some people, and it will also eliminate some companies that are not strong enough. As the chairman of the company, Lin Feng was blamed later.
"OK, just implement according to your plan. I will pursue another 100 million investment. If it is not enough, I will add another 100 million." Lin Feng closed the plan and encouraged Tan Zhi to say.
Tan Zhi sighed helplessly. He used to work in 8848 Technology Co., Ltd. because 8848's financial situation has been poor, all expenses are calculated and recalculated, and every point has to be saved and saved. But Lin Feng doesn't take 200 million seriously. It's really exciting.
It's so damn nice to have money—— Tan Zhi murmured to himself, but he also secretly congratulated himself for finding the right boss this time.
"No, 200 million is enough“ Tan Zhi said with confidence. After all, the success of his plan only requires the initial 200 million yuan to place an order.
"Mr. Lin, on the decoding chip, there are two kinds of better sound quality, Philips and Samsung, but there are many poor ones. However, since Mr. Lin pursues the strategy of high-quality products, I don't know which one Mr. Lin chooses?" Tan Zhi can accept both, and the market reaction is that both decoding chips are good.
"Philips, I personally hate Samsung." Lin Feng said. The plot of hating Samsung also comes from the fact that Samsung's products are always more expensive than those of other manufacturers, and the quality is not very good. Of course, this is only Lin Feng's personal view. But now I have the right to decide. Why don't I do it according to my personal preference.
After settling the matter, Tan Zhi left. At the same time, we need to set up a factory and carry out our own "skyhook" plan. Shaking his head, he was busy by the end of this year, but thinking of his plan, Tan Zhi was hot again.
Shortly after Tan Zhi left, Lin Feng once again received the call from Baidu President Robin Li. The content is still the same, urging Linfeng to complete the transaction as soon as possible. Lin Feng still nodded and promised to remit money to complete the transaction as soon as possible so that Robin Li could wait for it. In response to Lin Feng, Robin Li can only hope that Lin Feng can abide by the agreement except silence or silence. Otherwise, he will only sell Baidu shares in exchange for funds, but this is not what Robin Li wants.
Zhang Fan, President of Dfj China, is still waiting. However, when he learned that Lin Feng and Li Zhiyou had gone to Korea, his defense line finally collapsed. Call Lin Feng in a hurry. But it didn't get through until Lin Feng got off the plane.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry. I'm in Korea now. If I'm still interested in that deal after I return home, I'll call Mr. Zhang. " Lin Feng deliberately hung up his sails. At the beginning, he insisted that he would not let go of 300 million yuan. Now it's time to amuse himself.
Zhang Fan hung up the phone with a helpless face. Before calling, I expected that Lin Feng would not speak well. Fortunately, the sarcasm didn't embarrass him too much and made Zhang Fan feel a little better.
After arriving in Korea, Lin Zhihui and Huang Meixi went home respectively. In China, they also make millions of RMB a year. Now that I'm back, I'm returning home in fine clothes. Naturally, I have many relatives and friends to deal with. Before Li Zhiyou found his father's whereabouts, he did not stay in Seoul. He directly accompanied Lin Feng to Jeju Island, a Korean resort.
As Lin Feng guessed, Pu Yanhao was really fishing by the sea. But I haven't seen him for a year. He is much more energetic than he was at the beginning. It is estimated that fishing has cultivated his sentiment for a year. When he saw the person who took away his company, he didn't respond much.
"Here comes Lin Dong. Sit down!" He pointed to the bench beside him.
"Ha ha, it seems that you knew I was coming, but Cui Ming told you?" Lin Feng sat down happily. Li Zhiyou knew that they wanted to talk, so he ran to the seaside to pick up shells. He was happy and didn't disturb their conversation.
"Lin Dong, you are so lucky!" Instead of answering Lin Feng's words, Pu sighed.
Lin Feng laughs and knows that Pu Yanhao is Li Zhiyou. Li Zhiyou is not only a beautiful person, but also a good cook. He is also a very clever person. He is indeed his own blessing.
"Mr. Park, isn't it boring to fish like this every day?" Lin Feng picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the water( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
