Jia Hui said helplessly, "Actually, if you are willing, you can even sell the company and the money you get can be enjoyed for several lifetimes."
"Not that much."
Ye Chen sat up and said, "It's just a joke. I'm only in my twenties. It's too early to retire and return home. Besides, how much can Brilliance Electronics sell for now?"
It’s not enough!”
"I think four to five billion is no problem. After all, we basically have no rivals in the market now. This is infinitely close to a monopoly."
"Now we're just getting our footing."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't been in the factory these days. I mainly stay with Xu Zhiyuan in the R&D department. It doesn't mean that I am completely relaxed.
We have just established our footing, and the competition will become more intense."
"later?"
Jia Hui was a little confused, "What's behind it? Skyworth and Liu can hardly stand up."
"What kind of rubbish is Liu? He's just a piece of cake."
Ye Chen sneered and said, "What I mean by competition is the competition with big international companies like Sony and Avawa."
Jia Hui was a little surprised when she heard this, put down the tea cup in her hand, and said seriously: "Are you okay?
Sony?
Aihua?
The reputation they have built in the market over the years cannot be surpassed by our tricks.
They are not like those factories in China. They have hard power, and their prices are generally above one thousand yuan, so demand exceeds supply."
"I know, so the focus now is how to improve the hard power of our products. Augstu does not say transcendence, but at least has its own unique characteristics, so that it can compete with Japanese brands in the market."
Ye Chen said thoughtfully.
"Easier said than done!"
Jia Hui sighed, "Hard power is easy to write, but hard to do! R&D costs money, and it costs a lot of money. It's still unknown whether the money can be recovered in the future. I heard that it is as strong as Lenovo Group's internal
They are all arguing about R&D and joint ventures."
"Lenovo is Lenovo's business. If we don't learn from him, such a spineless and ambitious company will be beaten down sooner or later!"
Ye Chen said disdainfully.
"The tone is quite good."
"I won't tell you anymore, I have to go to the R&D department."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he stood up and walked directly outside.
Ten minutes later, Ye Chen came to the R&D department. Everyone in the building was busy doing their own things. The difference from before was that these scientific researchers who only worked hard would take the initiative to say hello when they saw Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was in a laboratory on the third floor, and Xu Zhiyuan was inside, so he could only choose to wait outside.
Some staff couldn't stand it and said, "Mr. Ye, can I go in and help you call Mr. Xu out?"
"No, don't disturb him, I have nothing to do, just wait."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said.
Half an hour later, it was dinner time. Xu Zhiyuan opened the door and came out. He saw Ye Chen sitting at the door and was a little surprised: "Mr. Ye, are you here to see me?"
"Ah yes."
"Then why don't you come in?
I’m right inside!”
"I don't have anything urgent, so I just came over to take a look. I know you are very focused on scientific research, so I don't want to disturb you. It won't be too late when you finish your work."
Ye Chen said calmly.
Xu Zhiyuan was stunned immediately. He was a little flattered and couldn't say a word for a long time.
The boss's attitude and working environment are completely different from when I was at Lenovo Group.
In the past, when I was working at Lenovo, foreign engineers would not even enter their rooms without knocking, not to mention entering the laboratory.
In the eyes of these foreign R&D teams, the Chinese R&D team he led was just a group of people serving tea and water.
disturb?
Who would bother talking to a group of people serving tea and water?
"Let's have a meal together, just in time to talk about research and development."
"Okay, Mr. Ye."
In the cafeteria.
Ye Chen sandwiched the side dishes and said, "I've finished handling the market matters here. The sales of the Augst product are very good, but in terms of technology and price, it still doesn't live up to its name."
Xu Zhiyuan nodded, thinking to himself, this is not worthy of the name, it is simply deceiving the world and stealing the name.
Although the Augstu is praised to the sky outside, no one with a little bit of technical knowledge would buy this thing.
"After all, paper cannot cover the fire. We will continue to improve the technical competitiveness of our products, otherwise it will not be long before the products become obsolete."
Ye Chen said calmly.
"What is Liangliang?"
"It means death."
"Mr. Ye, the second generation of our product is already halfway developed, and it will definitely not be worse than any domestically produced Walkman in half a year."
Xu Zhiyuan said firmly.
"I believe that after half a year, our product will not be worse than any other product. After all, your R&D department consumes most of the company's funds."
Ye Chen sighed and continued, "But we don't have that much time."
"Market competition is cruel, especially since we have ignored a big problem for so long, that is, in the land of China, in addition to domestic products such as Skyworth and Liu, there are also Sony, Aihua, and Philips.
Toyo brands, they are our biggest rivals."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyuan was a little silent. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Ye, to be honest, it is not easy for us to achieve what we are today in just three or four months. As for the Toyo brand, we
The technology is still far behind.”
"For example, at Sony, the tapes we still use are prone to jamming from time to time. Although we have tried our best to avoid this problem, it still exists.
The other party has begun to fully use optical discs, which have large storage space, are easy to install, and will not cause jamming problems.
There are also sound quality, volume, transmission method, stability, etc. The gap in these areas is very large, and it will be difficult for us to catch up in a short period of time."
After Xu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he felt a little ashamed. Of course he knew that Ye Chen attached great importance to research and development and invested a lot of money in research and development.
So far, my team has not achieved any achievements for the company to be proud of.
Although R&D is inherently unpredictable, it consumes a lot of money without achieving results, and the R&D department is often laughed at by other departments.
"I know."
Ye Chen drank a glass of water and said quietly, "Of course I know the gap is huge, but can you tell me how our current R&D situation is?"
"All aspects of the Walkman are making progress, and each team is working together. In half a year, we will be able to achieve complete intellectual property rights and truly reach the standards of a mid-range Walkman, which is fully qualified for a price of around 400."
When Ye Chen heard this, he was very dissatisfied with the progress.
But he also understands that no matter whether you are doing business or doing anything else, you need to abide by the laws of scientific development. Some things cannot be rushed, and rushing is useless.
"Notify all engineers in the R&D department to put down their work and have a meeting!"
