R & D department, a spacious studio.
At this time, hardware engineers gathered together, looked at the drawings, and assembled the MP3 with tools in hand.
"Is the product still under development?" Walk in and look at the engineers.
"No." Zhao Yiming shook his head: "it has been done."
With that, he went to a computer, unplugged the MP3 from the computer, and walked back to the sky.
The square day took the MP3 from his hand, the black shell, almost the size of a matchbox, on which there are several operation buttons, which are floating in his hand.
Put on the headphones and listen to it for a while.
I only care about you.
The sound quality is good. There is no jam. The operation of several buttons is also very smooth.
That's strange. Since the product has been developed, why can't it be produced online?
Take off the earphone, and Fang Tian looks at Zhao Yiming and asks, "make it, why not put it into production?"
Zhao Yiming said with a smile: "the main reason is that the cost is too high. If this thing is put into production, it will cost at least 200 yuan each, so we can earn money. "
"Two hundred dollars an MP3?" Fangtian eyebrows a pick: "need to sell so expensive?"
Although the 200 yuan MP3 is much cheaper than the imported Korean and American products, how many people can afford it in this era?
Zhao Yiming helplessly said: "no way, the production cost of parts is too high."
"Can you keep the price down?" Fang Tian asked as he spun the MP3 in his hand.
Zhao Yiming said: "the lowest price should not be less than 150 yuan, which is already the cost price."
Such a high cost is really a problem.
According to the original plan of Fangtian, this mp3 needs to open up the market with the help of high cost performance, not only with good quality, but also with a price close to the people.
But how many people can afford such an expensive price in this era? In particular, few students can buy it.
Students are a very important market. If it can be reduced to less than 50 yuan, it is the best.
Fang Tiandao: "I hope the price of this product can be reduced below 50 yuan. Only in this way can our products quickly open up the market. "
"Five, fifty?" Zhao Yiming was surprised and shook his head and said, "no way. In this way, we will lose a lot. Hardware is different from software, and the cost of hardware production is much higher. "
Zhao Yiming knows that Fang Tian is a software engineer, but he doesn't seem to know much about hardware.
In Fang Tian's heart, it's better to have a soft meal.
The cost of producing software is much lower, and the profit is much larger.
In the simplest case, both the workers who produce hardware and the programmers who produce software are far from each other. The workers who produce software get a monthly salary of 3000 months, and the programmers can get at least 10000 yuan.
Working environment, let alone, is much different.
Of course, the concept of hardware is very extensive. It can't be generalized. For example, the profits of airplanes and luxury cars are also very high. After all, it's still a technical problem.
The higher the technology, the more money you make.
Back in the IT industry, what hardware makes the most money? The day touched his chin and thought, thinking, suddenly thought of a company.
Intel, the world's largest computer processor manufacturer!
Soft cloud is developing its own operating system. Without good processor support, it will not work. In the future, it will be a tragedy if the system relies on Intel excessively.
If the United States gives you a ban, the company will fall into the mire.
In his heart, a big idea came into being. Looking at Zhao Yiming, he said: "the sun never sets, the factory should make a domestic processor!"
This is like a bomb falling on the ground!
Shocked everyone in the room.
Domestic Processor? You think you can do it? Zhao Yiming, director of the factory, looked at Fang Tiandao and said, "I know it's very profitable, just look at Intel, but the technical difficulty is too high."
"High doesn't mean impossible." God has made up his mind to be a processor.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
"It's just a long-term plan," Fang said with a smile. "We need to eat it one bite at a time. For now, we'd better do the MP3 well."
Zhao Yiming nodded and said with a smile, "let's go step by step, and get the MP3 plan done first."
Fang Tian thought that the plan of processor should also be started as soon as possible. After all, its R & D time is also very long, so don't worry about the capital. The focus is still on talents.
However, we will find someone else to prepare for the research and development of the processor. We can't say too much for the time being.
Zhao Yiming picked up the MP3 and said, "do you want to produce this thing?"
After thinking about it, Fang Tian said: "the cost is too high, which is not in line with my idea. Let me take a moment to think about how I can keep it to a minimum. "Zhao Yiming nodded, did not disturb his thinking, and went out.
Put on the MP3, while listening to the song, while thinking about things, walk out of the factory.
The greening outside the factory is well done. Green trees and grass can be seen everywhere. The sun is soft and comfortable.
At this time, it was more than eleven o'clock at noon. Many workers had a rest outside the factory. One day, they saw a girl named Xiaoyan.
She sat alone under the tree, holding a bottle of mineral water and eating steamed bread.
"Boss Fang, this girl is hardworking and smart. She will soon understand the complicated problems by simply telling her." A female employee faces Fang Tiandao.
"Oh? Is it? " The sky smiled.
The girl was a little funny and walked towards her.
"Is the work finished?" The sky looked at her and said.
As soon as I saw the boss coming, the girl immediately picked up her spirits and said, "it's done. What can I do for you, boss? "
"Don't be so nervous. Come here and have a chat with you."
Said, sat beside her, wearing MP3, chewing gum.
The girl relaxed, looked over and said: "boss, you are very young, you look not much bigger than me? The youngest boss I've ever met. "
"Don't call me boss. I don't like the name. It's like I'm old. Call me brother Tian. That's what many people call him. "
The girl nodded and said, "OK, I won't call you boss. By the way, boss, how old are you? "
"Poof!" The gum in the mouth of the day vomited.
I just said that. I'll call the boss again.
The girl blushed and smiled.
Forget it. She can call her whatever she likes. The boss is better than the tablet and won't be pointed out.
Take off the earphone, put the small black box in the palm of his hand and said, "do you know what this is?"
The girl looked and said, "I think the rich used it. It's MP3."
Fang Tian nodded and asked, "if our factory produces this, how much do you say it costs to make it affordable for most people?"
"This one?" Xiaoyan sips her mouth and says, "students don't have much money. It's under 50 yuan. I can buy one for biting my teeth."
The sky smiled and it was very consistent with my idea.
"Does our factory want to make this?" the girl asked curiously
"Yes." Fang Tian nodded and said, "even if Chen Ben is too high, he can't make money when he does it, and he can't make it online until now."
The girl pursed her lips, thought about it, and then said, "I don't know if I should say something."
I really want to hear what good ideas she has. "If you have any idea, just say it."
