The popularity of the Hong Kong market undoubtedly gave Fan Wubing a shot of stimulant.

The current production capacity of the Pingyuan Factory is only 30,000 single-player machines per month, two-thirds of which are sold to the Hong Kong market. After accounting for transportation costs, labor costs and taxes, the net profit of one machine is only more than 20. Hong Kong dollar. However, the 20-odd Hong Kong dollars should not be underestimated. After all, this is the first time that a small electronic product produced in the mainland has become popular in Hong Kong, and the significance is quite different.

The paparazzi in Hong Kong have a very sensitive sense of smell. Although Fan Wubing's company is licensed in Hong Kong, they still figured out the place of origin of this single-player called "Thunder" after many inquiries. , in a small city called Panshi in Wangtian Province on the mainland, there is a manufacturer called Pingyuan Machinery Factory.

Many newspapers including Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" published this news, and everyone suddenly discovered that the mainland is not very closed, and they can produce very good products. At least this single player is no different from Sony's Walkman, because the recording function is removed, and the sound quality is better.

Out of labor costs, Qiu Baohua earned more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in one month. This was because the initial market cost was relatively high. While excited, he reported the situation in Hong Kong to Fan Wubing, and at the same time proposed Some problems, such as the shockproof problem of the single player, and the power supply problem.

The power supply of the "Thunder" single-player uses two AA batteries. The battery life is only average. After listening to a song for three times, it can't support it. This is also the biggest problem that has been criticized.

As for the anti-vibration issue, this is something that Sony also attaches great importance to. This problem is not prominent during walking, but if it is during running, it is prone to pauses or even winding.

"Look, Dad, can these two problems be solved?" Fan Wubing handed these two problems to Fan Heng.

The popularity of the "Thunder" single-player in Hong Kong made Fan Heng proud. After all, this is a project he introduced, although his son is behind the scenes. Now the Pingyuan factory can earn more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars a month for this alone, which is equivalent to a month's wages for more than 5,000 workers in the whole factory! You must know that the Pingyuan Factory has only a hundred workers for the production of single-player players.

Those who had different opinions on the single-player project were suddenly silent after eating such a big cake. After another seminar, the leaders of Pingyuan Factory decided to make the single-player unit bigger and stronger.

After Fan Heng raised the two issues of shockproof and power supply at the meeting, the factory director Wang Fuming and party secretary Lin Feng immediately gave instructions to the comrades of the design institute to step up research and solve them immediately.

Originally, for some time now, the factory has been a little worried about the issue of military-to-civilian conversion, fearing that they would be at a loss after being pushed to the market, but after tasting the sweetness brought by the single-player project this time, they all became a little eager to try. The market is not scary.

Through Hong Kong, an international trading port, the sales of "Thunder" single-player players began to expand overseas, and the sales volume also doubled, reaching 40,000 units a month. The overseas market can be supplied, but the domestic market is basically blank.

By the end of January 1983, the profits of the Pingyuan Factory relying on the foundry of "Thunder" single-player machines had exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars. Brilliant Pig Farm ordered a large number of live pigs,

After all, the Spring Festival is half a month away, and everyone needs to be lively.

Regarding the anti-vibration problem of the single-player, the comrades in the design office have made some adjustments to the design of the stepping motor after replacing several materials. Ability, developed a small battery device, which can be charged with AC power, and added a DC and AC dual-purpose socket to the single-player machine. In this way, it not only saves the tedious installation of dry batteries, but also greatly improves the battery life. As long as there is a common power supply, it can be fully charged or directly use the mains power.

Fan Wubing was busier than ever, he suddenly remembered something, this year seems to be the first year that CCTV held the Spring Festival Gala! This opportunity does not come every year!

Fan Wubing wasn't so bored that he wanted to copy other people's sketches, that stuff didn't make any money, working for CCTV was basically the same as Yang Bailao working for Huang Shiren, there was no future, but cooperating with CCTV was different.

What is CCTV most lacking now? Of course it is money! Just look at the dilapidated Spring Festival Gala stage, which is a temporary warehouse borrowed from others. With a few light bulbs and a dozen tables set up, a Spring Festival Gala that people all over the country enjoy watching with gusto will be held! This will be put in the next twenty years, and the investment will not be several hundred million!

Fan Wubing estimated that if he spends one million Hong Kong dollars, he should be able to raise the scale of this year's Spring Festival Gala to a higher level, and if he can become the first and only sponsor of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, this It is undoubtedly a pioneering work and a great breakthrough. Even if you look back decades later, he will leave a strong mark in history.

It's not too late! Seeing that the Spring Festival is not long away, we must hurry up on this matter!

Fan Wubing was a little anxious, so he quickly explained to his family, and then he made arrangements for the clothing factory and pig farm, and prepared to go north to the capital.

"How can I let you go to Beijing alone?! It's so far away, what if something happens?!" Fan Heng firmly disagreed.

No matter how capable a son is, he is still a son, after all, he is only seven years old! After Fan Heng learned that his son was going to Beijing to contact the advertisement of the "Thunder" radio, he decided to go with him!

In this way, Fan Heng communicated with several leaders in the factory, took the letter of introduction issued by the factory, took the train going north with his son, and went straight to Beijing.
