Chapter 177: Hoarding Goods

Radio giants like Sony, Grundig, and Eton have been rooted overseas for many years and have huge influence. That is to say, radios are now somewhat declining worldwide, which has made these radio giants also reduce their investment in this line. Otherwise, there would be no room for new brands at all.

If fighting a conventional war, using mass-market radios like Feiyan A10 to fight against Sony and Grundig overseas, even Li Dongling felt that the chance of winning couldn't be said to be non-existent, but it was true that it wasn't that big.

To break the situation, one cannot take the usual path. The market for multi-functional emergency radios like Dolphin radio is niche, but it is a rigid demand for countless families!

If Dolphin can survive overseas, it might be able to lead Feiyan to compete with those old-school radio giants overseas.

But the premise is that Feiyan Dolphin can gain a foothold overseas. This needs an opportunity. To tell the truth, it is not that blindly placing advertisements everywhere can sell it.

Li Dongling prepared to place advertisements for Dolphin radio in overseas radio magazines, travel magazines, and outdoor survival magazines now, and then improve Dolphin's fame through medical charitable organizations.

After making the decision, Yao Luoying said directly, "Then Feiyan Technology will start trial production of A10 and Dolphin products now. After trial production, start mass production. A10 radio needs to increase production capacity, and Dolphin will first put a part of it overseas to test the water!"

"There is another thing!"

Seeing Ren Yuefeng, Yao Luoying, Zhang Ao, and others about to leave, Li Dongling said, "Feiyan Technology, besides mass-producing these two radios, also needs to do one thing: let the technical department cooperate with Tianya Net to launch a new project—Himalaya F Internet Radio!"

"In the early stage, Feiyan Technology's Himalaya Internet Radio needs to do is to purchase internet audio copyrights for songs, operas, poetry, storytelling, fairy tales, etc., make them into content, and put them on the Himalaya radio website for users to browse and listen to!"

Including Zhang Ao, Gao Peng, and others, they all learned to use computers for office work. They dare not say they are proficient, but they can use software like Microsoft and Kingsoft. Even they are like this, let alone other office staff, who are all learning to use computers for office work.

Computers and the internet are two things. It's not that computers appeared after the internet, but that computers appeared before the internet. This year, domestic computer sales are expected to exceed 1.9 million units!

Most of them were bought by Yanjing ministries, various provincial and municipal departments, banks, state-owned enterprises, etc. The computers bought were all used for office work, including processing documents, tables, data, drawing patterns, design work, printing, etc. The efficiency of using computers for processing was several times higher. If computers were useless, why would countries and major companies around the world spend money to buy them?!

"Internet radio, put the radio on the computer?!" Zhang Ao, who had recently made up for quite a bit of computer knowledge, spoke first.

Yao Luoying, Ren Yuefeng, and others all cast their gazes at Li Dongling. They had heard that Li Dongling wanted Feiyan Technology to launch a new project to impact NASDAQ. Now that they heard Li Dongling really mention it, they knew that Li Dongling was really not joking, but playing for real.

Listening to Zhang Ao's words, Li Dongling looked at him. "It can be said so, but it's not entirely so!"

"If Himalaya has enough users and traffic, and lets Huaerjie see the potential of Himalaya radio, there will be an opportunity to list on NASDAQ!"

"In addition, Himalaya radio can cooperate with TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, etc., to launch some column programs and put their audio copyrights on Himalaya."

What the superior likes, the inferior will follow. Li Dongling attached great importance to computer office work and established a new Internet Business Department. The office personnel within Dongling Gao Ke, as long as they had a bit of vision, all knew Li Dongling's mind.

Li Dongling said that he didn't know if Himalaya radio could make money. However, when drawing a cake, he could tell Huaerjie and those investors how many users Himalaya would have in the future, how much revenue it could reach when it started charging, etc. Anyway, as long as the cake was drawn round enough, it would be enough to fool the listing.

"Will anyone go to the Himalaya website to listen to those things?!"

Hu Zixian, who hadn't been in contact with the internet, asked with some worry. After all, specifically going online to listen to songs, operas, and storytelling sounded a bit mysterious. This hadn't happened before.

"If Himalaya radio has enough copyrights, whether you want to listen to 'A Fire in Winter', or listen to the opera 'The Concubine Drunken', storytelling 'Water Margin', 'Legend of the Condor Heroes', crosstalk 'Eating Dumplings', fairy tale 'Pipi Lu's Total Mobilization', etc., you can find them on the Himalaya radio website—will anyone go to this website to find them?!" Li Dongling said to a host of people.

Recalling that scene in his mind, the old Jianghu Hu Zixian couldn't help but be shocked. Now listening to songs, operas, and storytelling requires buying tapes, going to opera houses, and buying books. If you can really find these on the website, he can be sure that someone will go up and find them to listen to.

Now, copyright hasn't risen in the country at all. Pirated and counterfeit ones are basically in a state of flooding. It is normal for pirated tapes to sell for several times more than genuine ones. If Himalaya radio hoards copyrights, it can completely get a large batch of copyrights. These copyrights are not valuable now, but they will become the most valuable copyright library of Himalaya radio in the future!

Even if you are cruel, take all the internet copyrights of those songs, operas, storytelling, and books, and then sign a long contract. In the future, whoever puts these things on the website will have to pay Himalaya. This money is estimated to be collected until the short video era. As long as you want to sue, you can sue one by one, and then claim a large sum of compensation. The reputation may not be good, but the money can really be earned...

"Feiyan Technology, the technical department should recruit another batch of R&D personnel, cooperate with Tianya Net to develop Himalaya radio, and in addition, buy and hoard a part of the copyright!"

Li Dongling said. The technical department of Feiyan Technology is currently engaged in radio R&D and is not proficient in software development. It definitely needs to recruit another batch of manpower.

In the future, Feiyan Technology will become two major departments, one is the offline business department, and the other is Himalaya radio. The latter may not be as profitable

Li Dongling said that the Feiyan Technology technical department currently consists entirely of people researching radios; they are not proficient in software development and will certainly need to recruit a new batch of personnel.

In the future, Feiyan Technology will be divided into two major departments: one is the offline business department, and the other is the Himalaya Radio station. The latter may not be as profitable as the former, but its fame will likely be much greater. Whether they can go public on NASDAQ and harvest leeks will also depend on the business of Himalaya Radio.

Yao Luoying nodded. The entire Feiyan Technology company suddenly became busy. On one hand, they began mass-producing the Feiyan A10 and Feiyan Dolphin radios; on the other, they began recruiting personnel to develop Himalaya Radio and were everywhere acquiring internet copyrights for songs, operas, storytelling, and more.

It wasn't just Feiyan Technology that was busy; Dongling Gao Ke was equally busy here, because Feiyan Technology basically used Dongling Gao Ke's channels. From R&D to production and then to sales, everything belonged to Dongling Gao Ke.

As soon as Feiyan Technology became busy, Dongling Gao Ke followed suit, especially the sales and production departments. The Dongling Gao Ke Electronic Industrial Park began working overtime to set up production lines for the Feiyan A10 and Feiyan Dolphin, and to recruit and train production staff.

With such a big commotion, the news that Feiyan radios were to be mass-produced again could not possibly be kept secret. At the very least, the Pingyang Municipal Government and the people over at the former Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 had received wind of it.

"Feiyan radios are restarting production?!"

When Pingyang Mayor Luo Junwu heard the news passed on by his secretary, he couldn't help but be stunned. Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 had completely closed down under his watch. He hadn't expected that Feiyan radios would actually restart production.

Luo Junwu opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and didn't inquire further into what exactly Dongling Gao Ke and Feiyan Technology were planning to do.

Because his appointment and removal letter regarding his job transfer had already been sent over; Luo Junwu had been promoted and transferred to the provincial capital of Hanxi, and the candidate to succeed him had fallen upon Yao Zhengru!

From now on, the Pingyang Municipal Government would officially enter the Yao Zhengru era. Luo Junwu was not at all surprised by this.

Meanwhile, in the former family quarters of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, the former factory director Xu Yongjin had finally returned home after lying in the hospital for a long time.

Xu Yongjin had also heard the news that Feiyan radios were restarting mass production. Upon hearing it, Xu Yongjin sighed, yet he also carried a few expectations. Afterward, he couldn't help but think of that pair of Liu father and son, which made him itch with anger again!
