Compared with Zhou Linghua's excitement, Chen Xiao was calmer then.
It's just an mp3, and after a few years of making money, I still have to boast.
And there are still many details to deal with in the production of mp3.
Chen Xiao said: "Actually, I only have the patents for the domestic MP3 decoding technology, main board, and this appearance. These patents are still in the process of being applied for, and have not yet been finalized."
"There are still two key technologies for the production of mp3. The current patents are not in our hands. Even if we can produce them, we have to pay the corresponding patent fees."
"One is usb flash memory, and the other is battery technology."
Chen Xiao analyzed from the perspective of technology and patents, "Let's not talk about flash memory technology, we must pay Netac a patent fee, whether to talk to him or produce first, it depends on the situation."
"In terms of battery technology, this time we asked Sony in Yangcheng to customize it. The lithium manganese oxide battery is used. Although it is small in size and can be charged with a USB socket, the cost is relatively expensive."
After making mp3, Chen Xiao discovered that the industry and technology of Times Xia Kingdom were still relatively weak, and many key technologies and patents were in the hands of Westerners.
For example, lithium batteries.
In the late 1990s, lithium batteries were developed by Sony. Due to the complicated process and high cost, they could not be widely used in mobile phones or other electronic devices.
Sony only uses lithium batteries in its own cameras, cds, mp3s, voice recorders, etc.
Chen Xiao said with certainty: "If our mp3 uses a lithium battery, we can only purchase it from Sony, and the cost is very expensive."
Develop your own lithium battery technology?
This matter must be done, but not now, otherwise the research and development and reproduction of lithium batteries will make other brands of mp3s rotten.
"Of course we can also replace it with dry batteries, but the appearance of the mp3 needs to be redesigned and the volume will be larger."
Chen Xiao's explanation was very professional, which surprised Zhou Linghua.
[Influence +1]
Isn't Chen Xiao a high school student?
How do you know so much?
Not only know the motherboard and decoding technology of mp3, but also know lithium battery and usb flash memory.
And these knowledge points are Zhou Linghua's blind spots.
Zhou Linghua thought he was at the forefront of technology, but in front of Chen Xiao, he still felt that he was too good at it!
However, Chen Xiao is still a child in Zhou Linghua's heart.
In order to maintain your dignity, whenever you face a blind spot of knowledge and can't get a word, you can nod to show that you understand.
It is a completely different concept to mass-produce mp3 and make a sample. Chen Xiao also needs to make detailed planning for the production line and cooperation methods.
Therefore, Chen Xiao said: "Mr. Zhou, I'll go back and draw up a production cooperation agreement, and I'll send it to you in a few days. You can talk about whether you want to cooperate after reading it."
Zhou Linghua also felt that he was impulsive just now, he said: "Then I will wait for news from you."
ADLINK wants to transform, this is definitely a good opportunity.
Chen Xiao took the sample mp3 in his hand, smiled and said to Wang Qin: "Sister Qin, I want this."
Wang Qin actually wanted it too, but she didn't have the right to speak, so she smiled dryly and said, "This should be for you."
Chen Xiao took the mp3 and wanted to go back to Jiangcheng, Zhou Linghua immediately asked the driver to take Chen Xiao back.
In the future, if you have your own car, you won't be so troublesome.
After watching Chen Xiao leave, Zhou Linghua fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that this is definitely a profitable business.
But what Chen Xiao just said about the flash memory patent fee and the purchase of relatively expensive lithium batteries will definitely increase the production cost, which means that the investment must not be a small sum, which made Zhou Linghua retreat a little.
If he didn't cooperate with Chen Xiao, and started the mp3 business and made money by himself, then Zhou Linghua would definitely choose to invest.
However, in cooperating with Chen Xiao, a large part of the future profits will definitely be distributed to Chen Xiao, and Zhou Linghua is a little unhappy!
Zhou Linghua did not leave the factory, but said to the technical director Wang Ye: "Wang Ye, there are molds, raw materials, and equipment on site. You can produce another mp3 for me."
Zhou Linghua was a little cautious, he really wanted to get rid of Chen Xiao and go it alone.
Wang Ye said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhouthis"
In the process of producing decoding chips, motherboards and assembling mp3s, Chen Xiao supervised the whole process.
theEspecially when producing decoding chips, Chen Xiao personally "carved" the circuit diagram, and Wang Ye and his team watched the whole process.
But looking at Gui, sometimes the eyes feel that he is back, but the brain does not.
The production of mp3 is not the production of children's toys. Even technicians need professional training and professional operating instructions to produce them.
Although mp3 is only a low-level electronic product, for technicians, both the chip and the motherboard are very precise. As long as there is a mistake in one place, the product will become a defective product.
"Try it quickly! I'm waiting for you here!" Zhou Linghua said: "Chen Xiao is a high school student who fiddled with it. You are all from majors, can't you make it?"
Since the boss said so, Wang Ye only nodded and said: "Then let's try."
From the afternoon until two o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Linghua fell asleep in the office when Wang Ye hurriedly knocked on the door.
Zhou Linghua was awakened from his sleep, he woke up, and Wang Qin, who was sleeping beside him, also got up quickly and brewed a pot of Biluochun for Zhou Linghua.
Zhou Linghua's wife took care of the children in her hometown, and everyone in the factory knew about his relationship with Wang Qin, so there was nothing to avoid.
Wang Ye came over with a pair of semi-finished products.
Due to the rush of time, Wang Ye did not make the casing of the mp3, but only a semi-finished product connected with the main board, chip, battery and other components.
Zhou Linghua was still a little excited and asked, "It's done?"
If mp3 can be produced without Chen Xiao, then what Chen Xiao provides is only the production technology and some patents.
So even if he wants to cooperate with Chen Xiao, he still has the capital to lower the price.
Wang Ye said: "Just tested it, the effect is not bad!"
Wang Ye quickly connected the audio port to the earphone, and clicked on the music to play.
Zhou Linghua and Wang Qin each used earphones.
Soon, both of them were disappointed.
From the earphones, there is nothing but the noisy current sound.
Wang Ye didn't believe it. He tested it himself, and there was only the sound of electric current. He tried it several times and it was the same.
Zhou Linghua gave up, even if Wang Ye checked the problem on the MP3 production line again, what's the use of solving the problem in the end?
The production of mp3 is the same as the production of CNC machine tools, and the emphasis is on quality control.
If the quality control is not high, the production cost will increase, so there is no money to be made.
"Mr. Zhou, I I'll go and have a look again." Wang Ye was a little embarrassed.
Zhou Linghua said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up."
In fact, at this time, Zhou Linghua was already caught in a tangle.
