Chapter 909 Extreme Policy
"Mr. Feng, why do you have time to come to Yangcheng?" Duan Yongping was a little curious when he saw Feng Yu appearing in Aihua Xiaobawang.
A few days ago, I called Mr. Feng and said that the prototype of the repeater has been developed. I would like to invite Mr. Feng to come and have a look. Didn’t Mr. Feng say that he is very busy recently and has no time?
"Hahaha, no matter how busy you are, you still have time to relax. Besides, I'm in Xiangjiang, so it's very convenient to go back and forth by boat."
The repeater was successfully developed, and Feng Yu also wanted to see what it was like.
When Feng Yu saw the real thing of the repeater, Feng Yu couldn't help frowning. This 20×15×5cm big guy is a repeater?
In his previous life, Feng Yu had never used a repeater, but the one he saw in the advertisement didn't seem to be that big, right? Could it be that the first generation product is like this?
He weighed it, and it was too bulky and could only be used at home.
But after thinking about it, it seems that the repeater will not be taken to school, it is an auxiliary learning tool used at home.
"Old Duan, isn't this guy too big? Can't it be smaller?" Feng Yu asked with some embarrassment.
"Yes, it's not that the technology can't reach it. But it's reduced by one-third, the clarity of the sound quality is guaranteed, and the LCD screen with this recording time is required, then the cost will be more than doubled. Now, if you use a plastic casing , the cost is about 100 yuan. After mass production, the cost can be reduced. I have done a market survey. If no other competitors follow suit, the price of this repeater can exceed 200 yuan. Excluding distributors and other channel management The cost, storage, transportation and other costs, the profit of one set is at least 50 yuan." Duan Yongping said with a slap in the face.
Net profit over fifty percent?
This is good news, but Feng Yu shook his head: "Old Duan, the net profit is too high, so there must be many followers. The technology of this thing is not difficult, and there is no patent protection, so it is easy to imitate. Think about Aihua’s Walkman, the price has dropped again and again, isn’t it just that the market has been hit by low-quality domestic products.”
10% profit, then there may not necessarily be competitors, maybe you can eat alone. A 50% profit will attract a large number of competitors. If there is a profit of more than 300%, then... must be a profiteer!
Sometimes, people just want a Walkman, not the sound quality. Parents say to their children, aren't you using it to learn foreign languages, can you hear me clearly? It's fine if you can hear clearly, no matter if the sound is a little distorted, I squeezed my throat and said one, two, three, you still can't understand.
The repeater is the same as the Walkman,
Aihua Xiaobawang adopts the technology of Aihua Company, that is, the technology of AIWA, the sound quality is clearer, the service life is longer, and the product quality is better.
But how many years can this thing last? Either the enthusiasm has passed and there is no need for it, or it is really learned and there is no need for it. The rest can only be given away, or left at home as an ordinary tape recorder.
In other words, this thing does not need such a long service life at all, and some components can be chosen cheaply.
"I know, I plan to launch it first, then earn a fortune, and then gradually reduce the selling price, and always ensure the advantages, whether it is the brand, or the quality, or the price."
Duan Yongping has also considered this issue. When he was making game consoles, wasn't it the first pot of gold he earned by taking the low-cost route.
"It's good that you know. According to your estimate, how many units of this thing can you sell in a year?" Feng Yu asked.
"Two or three million units in the first year is no problem, right? Then it will gradually increase. After three years, there should be hope to stabilize at one million units." Duan Yongping analyzed.
Feng Yu knew that there was nothing wrong with Duan Yongping's estimate. But in fact, it would definitely make Duan Yongping's jaw drop. In two years, the Education Commission will stipulate that the foreign language teaching and examination of our country's primary and secondary school students should focus on the comprehensive level of listening and speaking, and we must put an end to dumb foreign languages.
After the emergence of this regulation, the market for repeaters will be quickly incubated, and sales will turn around and rise. In the millennium of the previous life, the sales volume of repeaters exceeded 10 million units. At that time, it was still the main profitable product of Bubusheng founded by Laoduan.
Of course, various repeater brands also appeared later, and the more famous ones are Wenquxing and so on. But now Wenquxing is still making electronic dictionaries, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Well, remember what I said, develop towards lightness, and develop towards good-looking, and the materials that can be saved must be saved." After two years, Huaxia's family income has increased, and the things of one or two hundred yuan are also worth it. It is no longer so rare.
"Okay, I will tell the engineers. By the way, we have also developed a recording device, which can be replaced with this very ordinary sound quality for half an hour."
Duan Yongping took out another thing, the size of a cigarette case, with an LCD screen and a few buttons on it.
Feng Yu shook his head: "Old Duan, how much smaller is yours than Aihua's ultra-thin Walkman? As I said, this product should be called a recording pen, that is to say, it should be about the size of a pen. Have you seen foreign products? ? You are so big, how many people will buy it?"
The buyers of recording pens are all used to secretly record some audio, some are used by reporters, and some are used for other purposes, but they all require convenience and privacy. Do you want to put a layer of plastic film on the outside of your thing, and make the outside directly into a cigarette case?
The recorder is so big, no wonder the repeater is so big.
"We just assembled it according to the principle. Of course, it can be made as small as foreign countries, but the cost is too high. If it is made as big as the lighter you mentioned, at least a zero must be added to the end of the cost!"
Damn, is this thing so expensive? So, if this gadget is made, it will cost more than a thousand yuan? It must not sell for more than two thousand.
No wonder it is only used by Hong Kong reporters, it is very rare in the Mainland. There are no entertainment tabloids in the mainland, and there is no need to secretly record any frivolous information, and the newspaper offices are all state units, so they will not buy such expensive equipment. During the interview, a small tape recorder will do. How much is a tape, and a small tape recorder can be bought for as cheap as tens of dollars.
"Then there is no need to do it. There is no audience in China. But this technology can be studied. If you can reduce the cost to one or two hundred yuan, then it can be widely promoted in China."
When Feng Yu wanted to say something to Duan Yongping, Mei Zhigang ran over and handed Feng Yu the phone in his hand.
"Boss, the Thai government has indeed adjusted the policy again. The overnight interest rate has actually risen to 1,000%!" He Zhaoji shouted on the phone.
Hahaha, sure enough, this method is still used, Soros will suffer!
