Business: The rise of tech giants

Huang Zhang is a native of Meizhou City, Eastern Guangdong Province. He has been obsessed with electronic appliances since he was a child. He went to Shenzhen to work when he was 16 years old. It can be said that he has experienced all kinds of hardships.

In 1997, he rented a store in Huaqiangbei to sell VCDs. By chance, he became an agent for Aegean VCD, and earned his first pot of gold through agency.

Huang Zhang, who has been restless since he was a child, has a lofty goal. He is not willing to be just a VCD seller. After learning the story of the rise of Xinghai Technology some time ago, he also planned to start a computer business.

It wasn’t until Xinghai Technology released the news of MP3 that Huang Zhang carefully understood the product and became acutely aware that this new type of music player was likely to subvert the current player industry.

After Xinghai Mei 1 opened for reservations, Huang Zhang paid for the reservation as soon as possible.

When the Xinghai store in Shencheng arrived, he said”Jiu San San” was the first to get the real thing.

After getting it, Huang Zhang tested the playback quality of Xinghai Mei 1 from all aspects and came to the conclusion: the era of Walkman will be ended by MP3.

Without hesitation, they took Xinghai Mei 1 to find Huang Qi, their most academically promising cousin of the Huang family, and asked Huang Qi to crack the code of Xinghai Mei 1.

Huang Qi is more than ten years older than Huang Zhang. He has a PhD in electronic information and teaches at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

“Brother, how’s it going? Is this code easy to decipher?”Huang Zhang stared at his cousin and asked anxiously.

In front of them, the black Xinghai Mei 1 had been torn into eight pieces, and every component had been disassembled.

Huang Qi thought about it for a while and said slowly:”MP3 products only have these few components. From a technical point of view, it is not difficult to crack the transcoding chip. As for the driver, it is even simpler. The key is,” he looked at his cousin who was more than ten years younger than him, and said worriedly,”I specifically learned about the company Xinghai Technology and the product Xinghai Mei 1. Xinghai Technology has an exclusive patent. It is illegal for you to decipher it directly. of. Huang

Zhang smiled nonchalantly:”Brother, don’t worry, I won’t copy them all. Xinghai Mei 1 has exquisite workmanship, exquisite paint, and an advanced LCD screen. The price of 1999 shows that it is on the high-end route.” I am a low-end product. As long as the appearance is different from the Xinghai Mei 1, what can Xinghai Technology do to me? Brother, please help me decipher it. My brand has 20% of your shares.”

“Are you sure you can make money? Huang Qi’s heart was moved. He knew that although the cousin in front of him was young and had a low elementary school education, he had a very flexible mind and was born to do business.

As a university professor, Huang Qi’s income is not low, but who thinks that money is too much?

Huang Zhang Hearing my cousin’s question, I felt happy, knowing that the matter was basically settled, and said enthusiastically:”Brother, I have estimated that the cost price of the Xinghai Mei 1 product will not exceed 800 yuan at most. There is too much profit here���We don’t seek such high profits. When we make low-end products, we can make the screen smaller, or even eliminate the need for a screen, just control buttons. I know the accessories market in Huaqiangbei. After calculation, if the minimum configuration is used, the cost can be controlled within 300. Even if we sell it for 600 yuan, we will still have double the profit. Even if the accessories are cheaper in the future, we will reduce the price accordingly, and this profit can be guaranteed.”

His calculation was very clear. Even if he earns 200 yuan from an MP3, if he sells 10,000 units, he will earn 2 million. There is great potential for success.

Huang Qi was persuaded by Huang Zhang, who was still a graduate student, and quickly established a group. Researching the topic of chip transcoding.

The most difficult step was solved, and Huang Zhang happily began to contact various accessories manufacturers and processing plants. There is no shortage of smart people in this world. If

Huang Zhang can see it, others can see it too.

The first batch of 30,000 units of Xinghai Mei 1 was launched and sold out within a week, which proves that MP3 has huge market demand.

Not only small businessmen like Huang Zhang took notice, but also powerful electronics factories and technology companies began to study MP3. An emerging product.

Lenon Research Center, Player Research Laboratory

“We have been researching a new player, but we didn’t expect that Xinghai Technology would be the first to get it. We are so angry!”

“One thing to say, Xinghai Mei 1 is a product with a very high degree of completion and various designs are close to perfection. However, there is still a big gap between it and our research.”

“Yes, our design ideas are biased. If we had designed it this way at the beginning, we would have produced test products long ago.”

“The quality of Tianjingfang’s LCD screen is unexpectedly good. After testing, I found that the parameters are not weaker than those of Kyocera.”

On the spacious and clean white research table, the components of Xinghai Mei 1 were neatly listed together. This Mei 1 was also brutally dismembered……..

Several Lennon engineers and designers gathered around the tragically dead Xinghai Mei 1 and had a heated discussion.

Shen Hao waited patiently for their discussion to come to an end, and quickly interjected:”Gong Li, if we imitate this product, how long will it take before we can produce an experimental product?” The man called Gong Li was not happy, and glared at him and said in displeasure:” Why should we imitate, you look down upon our technology?”

“No, no,” Shen Hao smiled bitterly:”I mean, the other party’s transcoding design is mature. If you use it,……”

“That is infringement!”Li Gong is a straight man with science, and he said it unceremoniously.

What Shen Hao wants in his heart is infringement, otherwise he will have to wait until you come up with another transcoding plan.

“Li Gong, to be honest, the most important thing at the moment is that we, Lenon, will launch our own MP3 products as soon as possible. Please decipher Xinghai’s transcoding scheme and adjust the application. Shen Hao showed the domineering attitude of the vice president of marketing,”Li Gong, you should have been notified. Please fully cooperate with the marketing center.””

“well.”Gong Li sighed deeply and nodded in acquiescence,”If the team tries its best to decipher it, it will take three days.”

“Okay, then three days.”Seeing that his goal was achieved, Shen Hao turned around and left.

As for product infringement, what is that?

Shen Hao snorted 0.3 times and thought to himself, as long as we design the program display completely differently, how can Xinghai Technology take advantage of Lennon? Like?

The worst case scenario is a lawsuit. If a lawsuit drags on for a year or two, even if I lose in the end, I have already sold the product and will at most pay some money to Xinghai Technology.

After calculations by actuaries, if Lianchuang launches MP3 products, it is expected that Earn profits of hundreds of millions.

And the compensation for patent infringement is only a few million.

Compared with the profits, the compensation given can be ignored.

The calculation in Shen Hao’s mind was perfect. When he was proud, he suddenly got the advice from his subordinates. Telephone

“Mr. Shen, the latest news is that Xinghai Technology revealed in a media interview that Xinghai Technology will disclose all technical parameters of MP3 and open patent authorization!”

“What!”Shen Hao was stunned._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Fei Lu Novel
