It was still around 5:40 in the morning, and the train arrived at the final destination in the capital.
It was warm as spring inside the car, but when we got off the platform, the cool breeze hit us everywhere, reminding people all the time that the winter in the capital is not very warm.
Just like last time, there was still someone holding a sign waiting for Zhou Yan near the exit. However, the person holding the sign was replaced by her roommate and best friend Zhao Ying instead of Wang Han.
Although he met Zhao Ying at the last party and often talked on the phone, Zhou Yan still felt a little embarrassed when they met.
"Chef Zhou, what are you waiting for? The pestle is cool here!"
This is the Zhao Ying I know!
Zhou Yan chuckled: "Boss Zhao, did you drive here?"
Zhao Ying's car is a red A6L with four rings. It looks like it was just bought. Even the interior still smells of glue.
After getting in the car, Zhao Ying saw Zhou Yan looking around, turned sideways and smiled slightly: "Thanks to you, I have my first car in my life. I have booked a hotel for you, you can stay here first, and we will talk about other things after work."
!"
"That..."
"Lao Wang is still in Xinhai!"
"Oh..."
Zhou Yan nodded.
After that, Zhao Ying allowed her to be sent to the hotel.
"I'll come to pick you up at eight o'clock!"
"As the guest does, the host does as he pleases!"
After Zhao Ying left, Zhou Yan closed the door, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep.
Although he bought a hard sleeper, Zhou Yan basically didn't sleep much all night: not to mention the train stopping and going, he could even hear the sound of the train running over the tracks clearly under his pillow...
After catching up on sleep for more than an hour, Zhou Yan got up from the bed and went to the hotel restaurant to enjoy lunch.
After that, Zhou Yan called home, fooled his parents with white lies, and then went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back.
"This seems to be near the film school, right?"
Anyway, it was just to exercise, so Zhou Yan didn’t bother to care where he was and started jogging along the road.
After running for just over half an hour, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
"Chef, where are you now? I just went to the hotel and they said you were out?"
"Northwest corner of Beijing Film Academy, downstairs of the movie channel!"
Only ten seconds after hanging up the phone, Zhao Ying's car stopped next to Zhou Yan.
"Get in the car!"
"Where to go?"
"Shunyi!"
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment and said without thinking: "Sister Ying, are you too shameless to give workers seven days of annual leave?"
"Seven days are legally mandated by the state!" Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan angrily.
"That's right..." Zhou Yan smiled coquettishly, "I forgot that this happened!"
The seventh day of the first lunar month is the first day of work after the holiday.
At this time, the style of the big capital gambling city was beginning to show. As soon as the car entered the third ring road, it encountered a traffic jam.
After driving around for more than half an hour, the car followed the crowded traffic onto the Airport Expressway.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Zhao Ying took a CD from under the sun visor and put it into the car stereo.
"The sparrow outside the window..."
"Hey, Sister Ying is still a fan of Zhou Tianwang?"
"Shut up!"
At around ten o'clock, the car, which had been wandering on the Airport Expressway for nearly an hour, finally left the expressway and entered Shunyi District.
There are large factories on both sides of the road, and most of the trucks driving on the road are heavy trucks transporting machinery or raw materials.
The car zigzagged through numerous factories and finally arrived at its destination.
Feiyi Electric Co., Ltd.?
Zhao Ying saw the confusion in Zhou Yan's eyes and explained with a smile: "This is my cousin's company, and your patent licenses were also bought by this company!"
"Oh!"
The management of the electrical appliance company is pretty standard. Cars are registered at the site, and people are called and waved to guide them into the site.
"Cousin, I'm here, please come out and pick me up!"
After a while, a burly young man trotted to the gate and checked in for Zhao Ying.
"Zhou Yan, let me introduce to you. This is the boss here and my cousin, Zhao Jun!"
"Cousin, this is Zhou Yan!"
Zhao Jun smiled and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Yan: "I have long admired your name!"
"You're welcome!" Zhou Yan smiled slightly and looked at the other person carefully. He had a strong military aura.
After entering the factory, Zhao Jun introduced the situation in the factory to Zhou Yan as he walked.
Although the scale of the factory is not very large, it has obtained a number of system certifications. However, due to limited capacity, it can only produce some small electrical appliances.
Originally, the company was given to Zhao Jun by an acquaintance. Zhao Jun, who had just transferred from the army, was not sure how to go about his future, until Zhou Yan came out and took out two dehumidifiers and dryers.
Small killer.
"Teacher Zhou..." After saying that, Zhao Jun began to slap Zhou Yan, "I asked Xiaoying to invite you this time because I want you to give me some pointers..."
"Brother Zhao, thank you!" Zhou Yan was polite, "I can't give you any advice, let's just share our experiences!"
After walking around the factory for a long time, Zhou Yan finally understood the overall situation in the factory.
The factory used to be a radio OEM, but with the sudden rise of MP3 players, the factory became a little unsustainable. Fortunately, the equipment in the factory is all new, such as injection molding machines, circuit board printing and other equipment.
several years.
After visiting the factory, Zhao Jun led Zhou Yan into the conference room, hoping that Zhou Yan would teach his brand-new scientific research team...
"Everyone must be aware of the two products that our factory has finalized," Zhao Jun stood on the rostrum calmly. "A while ago, the air purifier plan that the factory just received is quite good.
I know more about it than everyone else. Today I have invited the designer of these works, Teacher Zhou Yan, to teach you! Everyone applauds!"
"I don't dare to take the class seriously," Zhou Yan looked at the students from prestigious universities who were much older than him in the audience with a smile, "I just want to learn from each other."
"Market demand and the company's own conditions jointly determine a company's product positioning." Zhou Yan cleared his throat and looked back at Zhao Jun, "Mr. Zhao, you just said you were confused about the future, but you didn't make any decisions about the company."
A suitable positioning."
"Someone may have to say that Feiyi is just a small factory that produces radios. What can it do?"
As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, the faces of many newly recruited employees in the audience changed.
"Actually, as long as such a small factory finds its market position correctly, it can do a lot of things.
At present, the rise of big appliances such as Little Brother, Haixing, and American Empire has made it difficult for many small electronics factories to operate; and the rise of digital equipment has made it difficult for more electronics factories to operate."
Someone in the audience raised their hands.
"Please speak!"
"With the strength of our factory, it should be easy to transform into MP3 players, right?"
Zhou Yan was delighted: "Have you ever heard of Moore's Law? A new generation is renewed every eighteen months!"
Many people in the audience showed disdain on their faces: Who doesn’t know this?
Zhou Yan looked back at Zhao Jun: "Mr. Zhao, do you have this idea too?"
Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and nodded: "I also went to consult, but I was told that the order for MP3 decoding chips has been scheduled for two years..."
The audience was in an uproar.
"Two years means that even if you get the chip, your product has lost its competitiveness, both in terms of technology and price. In addition, in order to ensure the quality of the order, the chip manufacturer will require the buyer to prepay a considerable proportion.
deposit, and even set the minimum quantity for purchase..."
Zhou Yan looked at the newbies in the audience who had been hit hard, and smiled slightly: "Actually, have you noticed that there is still a big gap between home appliances and electronic products?
Let’s call them small appliances for now.
For example, low-power rice cookers, electric kettles..."
After hearing this, many listeners in the audience fell into deep thought...
