Chapter 46 That Lamp(1/3)
Zhong Zhihua was still a little unbelievable, so he asked his colleagues to bring a Jinpeng radio and took it apart immediately.
When the internal layout of the two radios was displayed in front of everyone, everyone in the technical department was stunned.
They are all masters who have been working in the field of wireless electronics all their lives. Through this comparison, they discovered that these two radios have many things in common.
That unique layout design is almost difficult to find on other radios.
Compared with the Jinpeng brand radio, the internal layout of this Ningjiang brand radio is more concise and clear, it is a completely simplified version!
Zhong Zhihua could even tell at a glance that the internal layout of these two radios should have been designed by one person.
Suddenly, he remembered the information he had read.
A vague name appeared in his mind, but he couldn't remember it.
At this time, he vaguely felt in his heart that he must have been in trouble.
When the technical department was established, the superiors recommended a person to him, and that person seemed to be the designer of the Jinpeng radio.
He had forgotten the other party's name, but he still remembered that the other party only had a primary school education and was self-taught in all electronic and wireless technologies.
At that time, he just saw this line of introduction and typed back the other party's information intact.
Perhaps, if that person joined the technical department, there would be no Ningjiang brand.
Zhong Zhihua thought for a while, maybe even if the other party joined the technical department, the superiors would not agree to his design research. After all, he was a real example.
Zhong Zhihua's face was sullen. At this time, his mind was turbulent and countless thoughts were emerging in his mind.
It wasn't until the sound of colleagues discussing on the side that he could disperse some unrealistic thoughts from his mind. He knew that at this time, he should not think randomly!
He took a deep breath and then spoke to everyone in a deep voice.
"The secretary only gave us three days. Let's work hard together. Since others can do it, we can also do it. Okay! Let's take action!"
After Zhong Zhihua finished speaking, his whole expression had become solemn, and a fighting spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat was burning in his heart at this moment.
If that self-taught boy can do it, then Zhong Zhihua can definitely do it too, or even do it better!
At this moment, the self-taught boy in Zhong Zhihua's eyes has already forgotten about the radio, because he is currently holding two electronic watches in his hands and admiring them.
It has been four months since I joined Ningjiang Wireless Factory, and now I finally saw a sample of the electronic watch. Unfortunately, it was just a sample.
Looking at the jumping numbers on the electronic watch, Chen Can fell into deep thought.
The electronic watch project is far more difficult than imagined. The technology of a small electronic watch is much more complicated than that of a radio.
It can be said that the technology integrated into the electronic watch that Chen Can has in his hands is currently unique in the country.
There is another fatal flaw now, that is, we have to wait at least two months for mass production.
At present, the cost is still too high. There is no component factory that produces electronic watches in China. Chen Can built everything little by little.
Including the most technically difficult electronic watch chip problem, it is currently unable to be mass-produced.
Chen Can frowned, obviously deep in thought.
Of course, these can all be solved, it just takes time!
Ningjiang Wireless Factory's current capital flow is very abundant. In addition to the lack of foreign exchange, it is currently sufficient to conduct any research.
Chen Can put down the electronic watch in his hand, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself.
"Everything will be fine!"
As long as there is hope, everything in the future will not matter.
Chen Can is still very busy now. Except for a month at the Semiconductor Research Institute, he has almost never left the wireless factory.
The electronic industrial park project is now in full swing. The new integrated circuit factory has been installed and debugged, but it will take at least one month to produce small batches and two months to officially get on track.
All the equipment inside was transported bit by bit from all over Liaoning and Shenyang. Chen Can's technical support made the previously impossible possible.
In addition to the integrated circuit factory, there is currently another project that is almost ready to be put into production, and that is the audio factory.
Speakers in this era are too expensive. This is a thorn in Chen Can's heart and he must pull it out.
In addition to price reasons, audio issues are also an important cycle in the industrial layout of wireless manufacturers, so they must not be omitted.
Currently, it has two research directions, large speaker speakers and wired headphones.
Yes, the wired headset project is one of the next projects that wireless manufacturers will focus on.
In fact, Chen Can has always wanted to start this project. The conditions and funds were not mature before, but now that everything is available, Chen Can immediately got started.
Ningjiang brand pocket radio, the first generation product, currently does not have a headphone jack. The reason is very simple. Headphones are much more expensive than radios!
The popular headphones in this era are still the type of headphones that are used almost all over the world. Hanging on the shoulders, they look handsome and majestic.
What Chen Can really needs is a pair of wired headphones that can be put into a trouser pocket with two simple wires, plugged into the earphones, and you can listen to music anytime and anywhere.
Headphone technology is not too difficult for Chen Can. The only difficulty is miniaturization and portability. In this era, it is also difficult to make a product small and exquisite!
The technical difficulty means that the cost is high, which Chen Can definitely cannot accept.
Therefore, technological innovation is needed and everything must be re-examined.
After Huang Jiang’s urging and Liaoshen’s efforts, there is now news about the tape production line.
When I was young, I was willing to export, but the price was very high, and it also required some exchanges from China.
Therefore, the above-mentioned negotiations have not yet been reached, and the country has not yet carried out real reform and opening up. Foreign exchange is too precious, and every negotiation takes time.
Chen Can has already discussed with Huang Jiang that at the Canton Fair in October this year, Ningjiang Wireless Factory will participate in the exhibition, and Huang Jiang has promised to get the quota to participate.
There is nothing you can do about it. Since there is no foreign exchange, just make money by yourself!
October is still three months away. By then, the electronic watch project will be in production, and Chen Can is also preparing to make the electronic watch the flagship product of this Canton Fair.
The first generation of electronic watches was a swing-type electronic watch, driven by an electromagnetic balance wheel instead of a spring. It was developed by Ruisi in the late 1950s.
The second generation electronic watch is the tuning fork electronic watch. It is an initial attempt to combine electronic technology with precision machining. It was developed by Lao America.
The third generation of electronic watches is an analog crystal electronic watch. This is also the most familiar type of electronic watch to domestic people, which is a quartz electronic watch.
This was developed by Xiaori. This kind of electronic watch already has the shadow of integrated circuits, and its technical content is very high.
However, the price of this kind of electronic watch is still very high, because the emergence of quartz electronic watches almost wiped out the century-old Swiss watch industry!
At present, the fourth generation of electronic watches has appeared in the world. It is the electronic watch with the highest technological content. It is a liquid crystal display electronic watch. It is a fully electronic watch and a true representative of integrated circuits.
Xiaori and Switzerland developed it one after another, and then Bay Island and Hong Kong Island directly drove down the price of this industry. In just a few years, the price went from a few hundred dollars to one dollar!
And Chen Can just wants to seize the opportunity and be the first to lower the price!
Perhaps Xiaori and those foreigners couldn't believe that the first place to start a price war for such a high-tech product was not the so-called civilized world, but an Eastern country where legends still wear straw sandals.
Chen Can still has a lot of work to do and has no time to think about anything else.
For the electronic watch project, the preparations that still need to be made are far more than the immediate difficulties.
There are electronic watches that are waterproof, electronic watches that are luminous, electronic watches that emit colorful lights, and electronic watches that look amazing.
These are the tasks he has to do next. The design team of the technical department, Chen Can typed back all the original manuscripts of the spreadsheet they drew.
Looking at the imagination of young people of this era, Chen Can felt a headache. Chen Can gave them a fatal task. They must submit the design drawings of twenty electronic watch cases within half a month.
What the hell are these young people designing? They're either cats or fish, and some even draw TV sets.
Still lack of imagination, Chen Can must find time to teach them!
Let them understand what it means to be classy and what it means to be gorgeous and fashionable!
If you want to earn foreign exchange at the Canton Fair, you must make those foreigners feel inexplicably shocked, otherwise how can you sell at a high price?
Although Chen Can wants to bring down the price of electronic watches, he has to make others feel that it is worth it!
Chen Can wanted to make a digital watch that cost only five yuan sell for twenty or thirty dollars, and also make foreigners exclaim how such a cheap electronic watch could exist.
Only making buyers feel it is worthwhile is Ningjiang Wireless Factory’s consistent purpose in the future.
Chinese goods have always been considered low-end goods in the international market.
Especially for the exported goods of this era, those daily necessities such as towels and washbasins with Chinese characteristics, the export prices are ridiculously low.
Are the exported daily necessities of poor quality?
No, very good!
But it’s so ugly! So corny!
It doesn’t conform to foreigners’ aesthetics at all!
This is the most fundamental reason!
In fact, as long as you change your thinking, you can sell it at a higher price.
Just like in later generations, the exact same clothes could be sold for several times more if they were printed with a Mickey Mouse pattern.
In fact, since the reform and opening up, foreigners have been brainwashing the domestic people to make the Chinese people recognize their culture, including aesthetics and three outlooks!
If China had not risen too fast, the entire land of China, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, would have been controlled by foreigners.
No need to go into details!
