Chapter 182: One Battle Decides the Universe

There are always many unexpected things in the world, such as nitroglycerin for making explosives, which saved countless heart disease patients, and a certain blue pill for treating heart disease, which also became a magic medicine to remove the "unspeakable hidden illness" of countless men.

A sudden hurricane made the Dolphin radio suddenly become a material scrambled for by the United States, Canada, Germany, and other countries. No one expected it to be like this.

But it is an indisputable fact that Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3 was entrusted by Feiyan Technology to produce and assemble Feiyan Dolphin radios and received foreign trade orders. How could this kind of thing deceive people!

The reason why Feiyan Technology entrusted the order to Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3 is mainly because old radio manufacturers don't have to worry about quality. They have enough skilled workers and technical workers to take on Feiyan Technology's orders!

And for Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3, which was originally on the verge of bankruptcy, having Feiyan Technology's foreign exchange orders, at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy.

With the current demand and importance of foreign exchange in the country, as long as it is a company that earns foreign exchange orders, it is basically a key training company. Even if producing foreign exchange orders does not make money, or even may lose money, it can get large subsidies, and there is no need to worry about bankruptcy.

But what shocked the entire domestic radio industry was the rumor that Feiyan Dolphin radio received an overseas order for 500,000 units!

That is an export order for 500,000 units. Each Dolphin radio sells for 150 US dollars. The total sales revenue of 500,000 units reached 75 million US dollars!

An industry that is considered a twilight industry, an industry that countless old radio manufacturers have given up on, can actually sell so many orders, not only sold wildly in the country, but also scrambled for overseas. This truly exceeded the expectations of domestic radio manufacturers.

They really can't imagine that after the radio is miniaturized, it can be so popular. The Dolphin radio, which added the hand-crank power generation function, actually dares to sell for 150 US dollars, and even so, it is in short supply. The things happening in the radio industry only make them feel magical.

As for companies like Dison that gave up the radio industry, their intestines are estimated to be green with regret at this moment.

Not only the domestic radio industry, even overseas radio giants like Sony, Grundig, and Eton were surprised by the popularity of the Dolphin radio, which was simply sold crazy.

This is also thanks to the hegemony of the United States at this moment. Every move it makes attracts worldwide attention. When Americans are scrambling to buy Dolphin radios, people in other regions, influenced by American media, naturally began to accept Dolphin radios. This effect is much stronger than how many advertisements Feiyan Technology has played!

"Dolphin radio, this is an old radio brand from the mainland. I'm sorry, we only knew about this brand today, but we still give the Dolphin radio a five-star rating, paying tribute to Feiyan Dolphin, paying tribute to life!"

The world's best-selling *Shortwave Guide* magazine, which is considered the bible of radio reading materials and is highly praised by countless radio enthusiasts around the world, the radio magazine RDI, gave the Dolphin a five-star rating for the first time.

"The emergence of the Dolphin radio has given the radio industry a new industry. It makes the 'ancient' product of the radio connect with life for the first time. The radio is not only listening to radio waves, it is also guarding life!"

RDI magazine still has the intention of praising the Dolphin radio. It first praised it, and then analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Dolphin. On the whole, even if the Dolphin radio has all kinds of shortcomings, but the fact that it can stand up at the moment of disaster, and can hand-crank power generation when the battery is dead, illuminating the light for the user, giving hope to live, this point alone makes up for all the shortcomings!

After the evaluation of this magazine for the Dolphin radio came out, it basically established the status of the Dolphin radio in the world. In the future, as long as multi-functional emergency radios are mentioned, there will definitely be the figure of the Dolphin.

"This batch of orders, everyone must do a good job, quality problems must not appear. This is an order for foreign trade, and it is also the first order entrusted to us by Feiyan Technology, a total of 20,000 units and 200,000 US dollars order, and the deposit has already been paid!"

Inside Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3, Factory Director Meng Youwei and a group of factory leaders were repeatedly exhorting in the workshop, repeatedly asking for quality control.

Meng Youwei witnessed the glory of Chunlei radio, and also experienced the ruin of Radio Factory No. 3 in the past few years, and was even one step away from bankruptcy.

Now he just wants to let Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3 survive. This order was also introduced by the Shanghai Economic and Trade Commission.

Feiyan Technology has already exploded orders, suddenly increasing orders for hundreds of thousands of units, and it is really impossible to produce. The United States is urging urgently, and finally, the Yanjing Economic and Trade Commission took the lead and entrusted part of the assembly orders to Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3.

The first order of 20,000 units is a test of the water. If Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3 cannot complete the work, or if there is a problem with the quality, then there will be no chance to get orders from Feiyan Technology in the future.

Therefore, Meng Youwei is very cautious. Even though he was once a radio giant, he is now working for Feiyan Technology. But after experiencing the bankruptcy crisis, at this time, Meng Youwei's mentality has been leveled.

"Old Meng, Xiong Mao radio, Peony radio, and a group of emerging electronic technology companies, companies like BBK, Shinco, and Malata have all announced that they want to enter the mini radio industry!"

The deputy manager of Radio Factory No. 3, who worked with Meng Youwei, said to Meng Youwei, with expectation in his words, just wanting to know whether Meng Youwei would let Radio Factory No. 3 enter the mini radio industry.

As soon as this was said, Meng Youwei seemed not to have heard it. He picked up a Dolphin radio that had just been assembled and checked it carefully from appearance to sound quality before putting it down.

Looking at the deputy manager, Meng Youwei said in a deep voice, "No matter what other companies do, Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3 will not follow. Now it is just to do a good job of OEM for Feiyan!"

The hot sales of Feiyan A10 and Dolphin radios finally made a group of domestic manufacturers unable to bear it. Companies like Xiong Mao and BBK reacted the fastest, directly "borrowing" Feiyan A10 to engage in their own brand of radios.

But Meng Youwei did not intend to engage in Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3's own brand of radios, or revive the Chunlei brand.

Seeing his old partner who had worked with him for many years seemed to be hesitant, Meng Youwei said directly, "Feiyan A10 and Dolphin radios, I let the technicians in the factory look at them. The technology and parts were developed by Feiyan Technology itself, and they spent a lot of money to get them out!"

"There are some technologies and parts, especially the Dolphin radio motherboard. With our factory's current level, we can't understand it at all, and we can't produce it."

"Hand-crank patents and technology are in the hands of Feiyan Technology. Overseas companies like Sony, Philips, Grundig, and Eton want to produce them, and they must be authorized by Feiyan. Do you think domestic products can be sold abroad?!"

Meng Youwei sees it very clearly now. Dolphin will not be the only one in the overseas multi-functional emergency radio market after this wave, but at least it can get half of the country. Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3 follows Feiyan Technology, honestly doing OEM, and there is no problem with survival. If you are lucky, eat some meat, maybe you can stand up again.

As for the domestic mini radio market, it will definitely usher in a fierce competition next. Radio Factory No. 3 enters the market at this time, except for being cannon fodder, Meng Youwei really can't figure out what other end there will be!

"Factory Director Meng, Feiyan Technology has received a big order again!"

At this time, someone ran over and reported to Meng Youwei. Meng Youwei walked over after hearing it.

"Emergency management departments in Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and other countries have recently announced that they will include radios in the 'Family Emergency Material Reserve List'. Japan, Canada, and others have clearly stated that they will provide certain subsidies to families who reserve these materials!"

"Multi-functional emergency radios are sought after in the global market, among which the Dolphin radio under Feiyan Company in our country has received overseas orders again. Currently, the total orders for Dolphin radios overseas have exceeded 1 million units!"

When seeing on the TV that many countries have included radios in the family emergency material list, Meng Youwei knew that the orders for Feiyan Dolphin radios were about to explode completely.

But the order for 1 million Dolphin radios still surprised Shanghai Radio Factory No. 3. How long has it been, Feiyan Dolphin has received an order for 1 million units. Next, it is estimated that there will be a large number of orders floating towards Feiyan, and even in the next few years, it is estimated that Feiyan will not lack overseas orders.

And then there was a piece of news that made Meng Youwei stunned for a moment, only to see the sound coming from the TV station.

"Emergency management departments in Yanjing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, and other places have announced one after another that they will purchase Dolphin radios as emergency materials. Relevant people claimed that from the impact of the hurricane in the United States, it can be seen that radios play an important role in situations such as earthquakes, floods, and water and power outages, and play a major role. They should reserve some radios as emergency reserve materials!"

This hurricane in the United States also let the country see the role of radios at critical moments and began to reserve radios. When this news came out, Meng Youwei knew that Feiyan's status in the radio industry would no longer be shaken by any company!
