Chapter 58 Fan Wubing’s new trends + Chapter 59 “Thunder” card karaoke machine

After obtaining equity, the enthusiasm of the plain factory was fully mobilized. This is not only reflected in the investment and construction of new production lines, but also in the efficiency utilization of production lines. The mass production exceeded 60,000 units that month!

After hearing the news, Fan Wubing smiled and said, "The production capacity of state-owned enterprises is like a woman's cleavage. If you squeeze it, you will feel much better."

Two months later, the new production lines of the Pingyuan Factory were put into production one after another, but because the procurement department did not consider that the factory's production scale would increase so much in the short term, the monthly output only reached 220,000 units, and watched this part of the profit slip into the pockets of "Hong Kong merchants".

Because of this incident, the factory director Wang Fuming and the party secretary Lin Feng were both angry. Not only did they dismiss the head of the procurement department, but most of the members in the department were replaced, and they ordered that the procurement task must be completed next month, otherwise they would leave directly.

Fan Wubing was a little amused and confused when he saw the extra four million. His current speed of making money really shocked him. In this situation, an ordinary worker's monthly salary is only more than 40 yuan, and his monthly income reaches eight million, which is equivalent to the monthly income of 20,000 ordinary workers!

"The speed of making money is really terrible!" Fan Wubing could only comment like this.

After the winter vacation, Fan Wubing went to school for a walk and found that his height was taller than many fifth-grade children, so he slipped back and thought that he would just go and sway around during the exam.

He doesn't think the exam from elementary school to junior high school will be difficult, and he doesn't plan to get the top scorer, so why are you working so hard? Will he still work for others in the future?

However, his teacher didn't think so. Usually, Fan Wubing didn't go to school, and she was invisible. This time, she suddenly found that Fan Wubing had come and walked around and left again. She didn't say hello to him. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. She ran to the school phone number and called her former colleague, Comrade Zhang Mei, the deputy director of the Culture and Education Bureau, and complained a lot of pain.

As a result, after Deputy Director Zhang returned home at noon, he grabbed Fan Wubing's ear and scolded him fiercely, ordering him to go to school honestly in the future and not skip classes in the future! Deputy Director Fan also added firewood and fire to the side, counting the various crimes that Fan Wubing committed were nothing more than skipping classes and not doing his job. Apart from this, they could not find out what Fan Wubing had wrong.

Fearing from the tyranny of the two elders, Deputy Director Zhang and Deputy Director Fan, and not getting the strong support of their sister and brother (they are still in a hurry), Fan Wubing humiliatedly promised not to skip classes for the time being, although this was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Why is it temporary? No skipping classes in the future!" Deputy Director Zhang took advantage of the victory and pursued others without forgiveness.

She thought that Fan Wubing was so smart and capable, and that if she didn't get the top scorer in the province in the college entrance examination in the future, she would be sorry for the knife she got in the stomach, so she took the matter out for a long time. In the end, Fan Wubing had to surrender. Who told him not to take the regular route when he was born? Now he left a message.

However, I went to school with a group of little loli and young men, and I was in elementary school, which was really mentally retarded!

Fan Wubing felt that he was really sad! Although he had calmly faced this bleak life, it was really difficult to adapt, it was difficult to adapt! He really didn't know how the seniors who were reborn in the past survived?! It was sad!

But he was helpless, so he had to lie on the last row of tables in the classroom and bit his pen and pass the time.

While drawing on the paper, when his attention was refocused, he suddenly found that many memorable lyrics appeared on the paper!

"Oh! I'm such a genius! A genius of plagiarism!" Fan Wubing couldn't help but despise himself for a moment.

However, this incident also reminded him of a problem, that is, the function of a single-player is simple after all. Even if the country will relax the restrictions in the future, it means that it will add a recording function, and it will also cause attacks from other domestic or foreign manufacturers. They have the ability and rights to produce recorders. The advantage of a single-player is only three or two years old.

How to ensure that you achieve stable and high profit returns is a very critical issue. To maintain it, you must have new profit growth points, that is, you must come up with new tricks.

Today, he was able to draw and draw in class, which reminded him of some things.

It seems that I haven’t seen the karaoke in China yet!

Fan Wubing remembered that when he was in elementary school, there were karaoke stalls all over the streets, singing a song for one dollar. Under the consumption conditions at that time, it was no different from grabbing money. A set-top box plus a 14-inch small black and white, a few microphones and two speakers were there. Such a simple thing didn’t cost much in total. You could charge at least a hundred dollars a night. What a great project!

Fan Wubing has no doubt that if he could make the karaoke machine, it would definitely be a hot seller.

And there is another advantage of this, that although Karaok has become very popular abroad, no one has registered its patents and are open to all manufacturers.

Fan Wubing remembers reading a report before that Karaoke was first created by a Japanese man. He couldn't remember what the man's name was, but he just remembered that he was a drummer in a Japanese band and invented accompaniment tracks and portable microphones in the 1960s. In less than three years, Karaoke became popular, and large companies plagiarized his ideas and launched their own models. When someone suggested that he apply for a patent, it was too late. Later he admitted, "I never thought about applying for a patent."

In the late 1960s, after the cassette recorder was released, two sources of sound sources could be recorded on the left (l) and right (r) stereo tape, one by one, the accompaniment music and the other by the vocal singing. People can use this tape to learn the singing of popular songs. When people learn to sing this song, people will turn off the vocal passage and sing the song in person through the microphone. This kind of entertainment activity first became popular in Japan. The Japanese call this karaoke entertainment game, kara means "empty" in Japanese, and oke is the abbreviation of English symphony.

After the karaoke game became popular in Japan, it caused a lot of turmoil in society. In some bars, cafes, and dance halls, the boss quit the original band and used a set of audio equipment. This was dissatisfied by a large number of electro-acoustic bands, who protested to the entertainment industry and karaoke manufacturers. But this was useless. Later, these bands had to switch to the advertising industry and TV series production industry.

"Chinese people should also make their own karaoke machines!" Fan Wubing felt very distressed when he thought of the money that was taken away by the Japanese. He immediately made up his mind to put all the money in his pocket.

Chapter 59 "Thunder" card karaoke machine

In April, the first Santana sedan was launched in Shanghai. Stimulated by this, several production lines of Pingyuan Factory were completed and put into production one after another. Finally, the basic goal of producing 250,000 units per month this month and met the contract requirements. Since then, Pingyuan Factory has obtained 49% of the equity of the "Thunder" single-player production project, and its pre-tax income exceeded 8 million yuan in that month.

The popularity index of Pingyuan Factory immediately soared, becoming the most eye-catching star enterprise in Panshi City. However, for the Panshi Municipal Government, Pingyuan Factory is a central enterprise, and is directly led by the central government, and it is not the turn of Panshi City to collect taxes. Therefore, they can only watch the big cake with great depression and jealousy, but there is no way.

Fan Wubing stayed honestly in school, continued to daydream, and then plagiarized a bunch of lyrics to practice writing, and then improved his ideas about the karaoke machine. It was nothing more than boring problems such as input and output four-channel or eight-channel amplifier rate signal-to-noise ratio. Of course, the details do not need to be considered so thoughtful. All he asked for was a complete solution.

In this way, Fan Wubing finally came up with a relatively complete solution after half a month of thinking.

The solution to the karaoke machine is very simple. In layman's terms, it is microphone + amplifier + cassette player + TV. Of course, the coordination between them requires certain technology, but overall it is not a big problem.

The biggest problem among them is not hardware, but software, that is, the production of the track. Fan Wubing believes that he does not have the right to produce film and television, so he must find a collaborator.

So after careful planning, he decided to go to CCTV again and talk about the development of the Karaoke project.

"What? Do you want to take a month off?!" Fan Wubing's teacher slapped the table and asked angrily.

After finally restraining this naughty student for two months, he is now taking a long leave again?! Don’t they know that they will face an exam soon?! How can such rotten wood be carved?!

"If you want to take a leave, you can do this pile of papers for me first." The teacher took out ten papers and threw them in front of Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing looked at the mimeographed paper and lamented, "You are forcing a genius child to show his talent in public!" Doing so is not conducive to the healthy growth of other children! But he has no choice. Zhang Mei strictly restricted his school actions, so he didn't say much, and pulled the paper over and wrote it hard.

Fortunately, these questions were too simple, and there was no difficulty except for the large amount. After one class, Fan Wubing was finally able to hand in the paper and left the school in the shock of the teacher.

"Genius! Zhang Mei is so lucky. She actually gave birth to a genius son!" The teacher sighed. No one would have thought that the son of Deputy Director Zhang Mei was so magical. He really didn't need to receive primary school education.

After Fan Wubing returned home, he told Fan Heng about his thoughts as usual, hoping to get Fan Heng's support.

"According to your words, this thing is very easy to do! We found a few technicians in the factory and we will definitely be able to do it well in one week! Why do we still have to go to Beijing?" Fan Heng felt a little confused.

The huge profits of single-player machines made Fan Heng understand that it would be better not to have too many partners, otherwise there would be not much of the share he received. Therefore, he felt that Fan Wubing's idea of ​​pulling CCTV into the water was inappropriate.

"I don't want to do it either! But are you qualified to do film and television production? That thing is not something that anyone can do just because they want-" Fan Wubing said.

If it was more than 20 years later, with computers, Internet, winxp, and flash, you could indeed make your own karaoke and do as much as you want, but now it is 1983! If you don’t go to CCTV, where does the soundtrack come from? Where does the post-production come from? Where does the subtitles come from? Where does the playback license come from?

"According to what you said, it seems that the three companies have to cooperate." Fan Heng said with some regret.

Although Zhang Mei disagreed a little, Fan Wubing received support from Fan Heng. After all, this is a new way to make a lot of money. Be righteous first, and personal problems need to be given up.

Fan Heng assigned an emergency task to the technicians in the factory. He created a prototype of the karaoke within a week. With mature experience in making single-player machines, the technicians of the Plain Factory already have unique features in appearance design. The shape of the entire karaoke is relatively durable, thick but not bulky. As long as you connect a TV, you can entertain.

"What's the name?" Fan Heng asked.

"Of course it's still the Thunder brand. This is our fist brand. How can we let it go?" Fan Heng replied naturally.

"What should we do next?" Fan Heng asked.

"Of course I'm going to register a patent!" Fan Wubing laughed.

The father and son went to Beijing again, but they still found Director Zhang first, contacted him for a while, and then used their relationship to register a domestic patent for the Karaoke machine, and then went to CCTV Advertising Department.

"Comrade Fan, Teacher Xiao Fan--" Old Chen from the advertising department was surprised when he saw the arrival of Fan and his son.

These two are God of Wealth! CCTV will get more than 100,000 advertising revenue from their plain factory every month, and it is said that they will have the intention of adding advertising investment next year. Such customers need to be flattered.

After a while of greeting, Fan Heng said, "Comrade Chen, we want to do some cooperation projects with you this time. Can we talk about it in detail?"

What cooperation projects can we have? Old Chen felt a little strange. If you release products, we advertise, and the last payment is paid, can we have other cooperations with our customers besides advertising fees?

"For specific questions, let's find a place suitable for conversation. It's not convenient here." Fan Wubing said.

"There is no problem with this, where are we going?" Old Chen nodded and expressed no objection.

So the three of them soon appeared in the private room in Donglaishun. After drinking some Hongxing Erguotou and rinsing the mutton for more than half an hour, Fan Wubing took out the karaoke prototype and put it on the table.
Chapter completed!
