Chapter 1126 An Epoch-Making Technology Has Been Developed!
"Chairman, here we are!"
Arriving outside a gate, Lu Chao said while opening the door.
Xia Yu looked at the sign on the door, and it did say "Walkman Lab".
After opening the door, the layout inside came into view.
In fact, this door is the outermost door, and the space inside is very wide. In addition to the hall in the middle, you can see many separate small compartments. In the hall, there are many counters in the circle. There are five or six people working on the instrument.
"Chairman, they are now doing experiments according to their respective divisions of labor."
"The second-generation Walkman is inside, please come with me!"
Then everyone entered a laboratory. After entering, Xia Yu ignored the experimenters inside, and his eyes were locked directly in a glass cabinet.
As I approached, I saw five colors of Walkmans lying quietly in the glass cabinet.
Lu Chao opened the glass cabinet, took out all of it, and then started to introduce.
"Chairman, this Walkman is the second-generation Walkman we developed, and the model is SP-S2. These five colors are only different. We have done more than 20 color evaluations before, and finally the five colors were evaluated. Higher ratings."
"In terms of parameters, please read the manual!"
"In order to be more intuitive, you can also take a look at this manual. This is the parameters of the SP-S1 Walkman."
Having said that, Lu Chao handed two product manuals to Xia Yu.
After Xia Yu took it, he carefully read the dense small print on it.
After comparison, Xia Yu found that the parameters of Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman have been optimized.
such as size and weight.
The dimensions of the SP-S1 model are 80x115x29mm, and the body weight is 270g.
The dimensions of the SP-S2 model are 75x110x26mm, and the body weight is 220g.
There is a certain degree of improvement. The weight reduction is mainly due to the use of lighter materials. Because of the volume of the tape, it is difficult to reduce the dimensions of the Walkman. If you want to reduce it, then the thickness can be reduced. Make a fuss.
In terms of functions, the SP-S2 model retains the excellent features of the SP-S1 model, such as the touch key system, FM recording function and playback function.
On this basis, automatic tape flip, repeat playback technology and better noise reduction technology are added. The Dolby sound effect used is also the latest generation, and the sound quality is better.
The weight of the equipped headphones has also changed from 20g of the previous generation to 18g.
The colors are black, starry blue, bright yellow, bright silver and pink.
After seeing this parameter, Xia Yu only had one feeling, that is, the functions of the mature Walkman in the previous life have been equipped with most of them!
After putting down the product manual, Xia Yu picked up a starry blue Walkman and asked, "Is there a tape here?"
"some!"
Lu Chao said, took out a tape from the box on the side and handed it to Xia Yu.
After Xia Yu put the tape in, he put on his headphones and pressed the play button.
After a familiar prelude, Ye Liyi's bold singing sounded.
"...Long run ~ wave flow ~ thousands of miles of Taotao river water will never end~"
"I've exhausted it~ the world's affairs~ mixed up with the trend~"
"It's joy~ It's sorrow~"
"..."
Listening and listening, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth twitched unknowingly. He suddenly remembered that when "Shang Hutan" caused a boom, Universal Music sold ten copies of Ye Liyi's album featuring "Shang Hutan" as the main song. Platinum sales, that is, 300,000 copies!
Classic songs are really classic songs, no matter when you listen to them, they feel good.
Of course, in terms of sound quality, Xia Yu still heard some sandy sounds.
He pointed out the problem: "Dr. Lu, when I listened to the tape, I seemed to hear some sandy sound, and there is still room for improvement in sound quality. Isn't this a problem with vinyl tapes?"
Seeing Lu Bo's face showing shame,
Huo Jianning stood up and explained: "Chairman, Dr. Lu and I have also discovered this problem. This is the sound of the tape reading, which is a common problem with all walkmans on the market. Compared with the products on the market, ours The model has already done very well in terms of sound quality.”
"But you are right, there is indeed room for improvement, and it is already under development."
Xia Yu thought thoughtfully: "Since it is a common situation and it is still at the leading level, it doesn't matter for the time being, it can be released."
"When is this product going to be released?"
"What's the cost and pricing?"
When it comes to the production and sales of goods, it is not about Lu Chao.
Huo Jianning took the initiative to stand up and said: "Chairman, the Tiangong SP-S1 product was launched on September 1 last year, and this second product is also going to be launched on September 1, just in time for the first anniversary."
"Because the Tiangong SP-S1 model has now sold 1.78 million units, it will be sold in the next three months, and the sales volume is expected to exceed 2 million units."
"The functions of our Tiangong SP-S2 model are the best in the market, and we have the reputation of the previous model, so we estimate that the annual sales of Tiangong SP-S2 models will be 2 million units. "
"According to this quantity, the cost of each unit is forty-four dollars, the ex-factory price is one hundred and seventy-eight dollars, and the guide retail price is two hundred and thirty-five dollars."
"Both the ex-factory price and the retail guide price have been raised by seven dollars compared to the previous generation model, and this price, combined with our features, still has a strong competitive advantage."
Xia Yu nodded slightly: "Just have a plan."
He believed that Huo Jianning was a rational person and would not do anything unsure. Since he said he was competitive, Xia Yu believed that he was competitive, whether it was true or not, and he could see at a glance at the financial report at the end of the year.
As for the hardware cost, there are only about two levels of the retail price, which is normal, because it does not include the cost of technical research and development and the follow-up marketing cost. These two costs are destined to be lower than that of Sony. After all, the former is made by Xia Yu. Strategically guides R&D related functions, the latter being the media and offline resources owned by the entire consortium.
Tiangong Electronics can achieve such a high gross profit, and Sony can't do it!
Just like when the future Apple company looked down on the world, relying on the advantages of barriers in various aspects, wouldn't it also sell a mobile phone that costs about a thousand or six thousand?
In this regard, there is no need to deliberately inquire about business secrets, which can be seen from the annual financial reports of later generations of Apple.
Now this money, Xia Yu should earn it!
You can't make more money than Sony with so many hooks, that's a fart!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the bright silver Walkman in front of him, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he said, "When it is released, you can make some special collector's edition Walkmans for marketing purposes."
Huo Jianning frowned slightly and asked inexplicably, "Please instruct me!"
Xia Yu smiled lightly and said: "For example, United Eternal Jewelry Co., Ltd. has launched one or two hundred Walkmans with pure gold and pure silver casings made of gold and silver, and another example is the Walkman set with diamonds. There must be no shortage of maverick local tyrants, especially those in the Middle East who take money in their fields."
"You can also create a Walkman that is unique in the world, and compete with the rich. These are all gimmicks, and it will greatly improve your reputation."
Huo Jianning's eyes lit up, nodded happily and said, "Chairman, I understand, I will do as you say."
"Um!"
Xia Yu nodded slightly and looked at the Tiangong SP-S2 Walkman in front of him.
He asked casually: "By the way, will this model be launched this year?"
I didn't expect to ask casually, but got an unexpected answer.
I saw Lu Chao shook his head and said excitedly: "No, Chairman, we have also developed a Walkman, this one is fundamentally different from Tiangong SP-S2, it uses CDs, not Tape records!"
Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "The laser disk I told you last time was developed so quickly?"
Xia Yu didn't care about the second Walkman, what he cared about was the CD!
This is an epoch-making technology!
He told Lu Chao a lot last time, but he didn't expect that he would actually come up with it, and the efficiency was so high!
The surprise came so suddenly!
PS: The most boring and boring thing is to look up technical information. I study chemistry, not physics! W(￣_￣)W
Also ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets, thank you!
