Chapter 38: Be Your Own Solo Player

"Give it back to your company? Isn't it just a pig farm-" Fan Heng didn't know how much energy his son was.
Fan Wubing hummed twice and said with some dissatisfaction, "This is a big business. At least you can keep your factory safe for ten years. If you don't want to do it, there is no need to bury me."
"Really or false? Just rely on this thing?" Fan Heng didn't believe his son's statement.
"Is it interesting for me to lie to you?" Fan Wubing looked at his father with an innocent face.
Others don’t know the market prospects of Walkman, but Fan Wubing is very clear about it.
From Sony's Walkman to the market, its sales reached 250 million units in the next 18 years. It is really shocking to be able to achieve this by a single brand.
Fan Wubing was not very clear that among these 250 million Walkmans, more than some were sold to China, but this number would not be very small. Thinking that so many money was constantly being seized, Fan Wubing felt very uncomfortable.
The technical content of the Walkman may be some, but it will not be very high. Many powerful domestic manufacturers can do it if they invest a certain amount of production efficiency in this regard. Even the quality of domestic magnetic heads cannot be comparable to that of the magnetic heads created by Sony Seiko, it is enough to listen to music.
However, Fan Wubing also knew that the current situation in China is that all enterprises belong to the state, and production plans are very restricted. Smaller workshops are simply unable to produce and develop electrical appliances like Walkman.
More than a decade later, small electrical bed and plate factories throughout the country have not yet emerged, which has led to large factories being unable to produce and small factories being unable to produce. It is this vicious circle that limits the domestic production capacity of small electrical appliances, and allows foreign brands to fill the market and unify the domestic market for 20 years.
"As long as the policy of restricting recording equipment is not cancelled, this kind of thing will not become popular." Fan Heng said with some emotion after experimenting with Walkman's recording effect.
Determining the direction of the market depends on the face of the policy, this is also the reality of many state-owned enterprises in the early stages of reform.
As long as you do not violate the policy, your company can maintain it, reduce production, lose money, and insolvent. These are not problems. As long as you are obedient, there will naturally be someone to clean up the mess for you. All the mistakes can be attributed to being trapped in the mud when you cross the river while feeling the stones, which is a normal phenomenon.
But if you impact the policy, or go against the policy, then even if you can make a company lively, vigorous, or even obtain huge profits, this is not right. Looking at the current leaders of the company, they may be dragged down by a report letter at any time, and they will lose all the money.
Fan Heng knew this. He had been in state-owned enterprises for too long and was used to this kind of thing.
Fan Wubing also knew this, and more so, he was influenced by the long-term experience before he was reborn, and heard people talk about the difficulties and those who had to do so. But Fan Wubing knew more than Fan Heng, that is, the fences must be broken in the end, and some inappropriate policies will always be changed.
Just like the problem of restricting recording equipment in front of you, you can completely avoid obstacles and develop from another aspect.
"Why do we have to focus on the recording equipment? If we only use single-player machines, will all the problems currently exist be solved?" Fan Wubing took out the red recording button from the pile of equipment and shook it in front of his father's eyes.
"Remove the recording function? Only the sound play function?" Fan Heng was stunned for a moment.
Fan Heng never imagined this possibility. In the education he received, he should make products with high quality and low prices and should not take shortcuts. The things he made must meet the basic needs of the people, use them as much as possible at the lowest cost, and make the most powerful products.
However, Fan Heng had never done this corner and never thought about it.
"That's right! All we have to do is to play the machine alone!" Fan Wubing laughed. He suddenly realized that he was very genius and had suddenly thought of a solution.
No wonder! I thought a single player was the product of cutting corners, but I didn't expect that there was a saying in China that restricted the production of recording equipment. It seems that all geniuses have one thing in common, that is, they can cut corners with confidence! Fan Wubing was happy. He suddenly thought about why Sony's Walkman Walkman entered the mainland market late, but it was because of the influence of national policies here. At the same time, he also thought about why domestic electronic manufacturers have not developed extensively on small recording equipment for a long time, but were also influenced by this inexplicable policy.
However, this policy is also a double-edged sword. It is very likely to limit the market and may also give birth to a new market.
With this enlightenment, Fan Wubing suddenly felt that the market in front of him suddenly became widened.
Don’t you let me use recording equipment casually? Then I will use audio playback equipment!
Anyway, for most young people, it is easy to be satisfied if they can get a single player, listen to the singing of their favorite stars, and show off their advantages in front of their companions.
As for the recording function that was removed, it can be added at any time, but that is another product.
In other words, the recorder that could have been in place in one step could be sold twice by Fan Wubing, one single player and the other a recorder. How many market opportunities will this increase? Fan Wubing hasn't thought it through for a while.
But one thing is clear about Fan Wubing.
Currently, the Walkman Walkman launched by Sony has a recording function, and they probably did not consider that such a misunderstanding will occur when it is promoted to the mainland Chinese market. The current overseas market prospects are very good, and they will definitely not change their production lines because of a mainland Chinese that has not yet developed a luxury consumer market.
Arrogance is their consistent position, and Fan Wubing believes in this.
With preconceived ideas and unifying the domestic audio-visual market, how attractive is this cake?
