Chapter 186
Feiyan Technical Department is now divided into a software development department and a hardware development department. The software department is mainly responsible for developing the Himalaya platform and is currently mainly jointly developing the Himalaya Radio Station with Tianya. com in Yanjing.
The Feiyan Technical Department in Pingyang is mainly responsible for hardware R&D.
"Thank you all for your hard work on the R&D of the Feiyan A10 and Dolphin radio!" Entering the Feiyan Technical Department, Li Dongling called Feiyan Technical Supervisor Fu Cheng and main engineer Jiang Shoucheng and others to the office.
"Mr. Li, this is what we should do!"
Engineers like Jiang Shoucheng, who had just received a huge bonus, were at a time of full energy. He had joined Feiyan Technology for less than a year, but the salary he received was already equivalent to the sum of his salaries for the past few years. How could he not be motivated?
Now, whether it's Jiang Shoucheng or other Feiyan engineers, they are all full of energy, wanting to develop another project. After all, who would complain about getting more bonuses?!
Looking at Jiang Shoucheng and the others, Li Dongling nodded and then said, "The mini-radio project still needs to continue R&D and upgrades. In the future, several radio products must be launched every year. This is one of Feiyan Technology's most important industries in the future!"
"But besides that..."
"Car radios and car audio equipment must also be developed as soon as possible. Feiyan must develop a new generation of car radios and DVD car audio equipment as soon as possible!"
"DVD car audio equipment?!"
Hearing these words from Li Dongling, Fu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned. Yao Luoying, who was looking at the new weekly Feiyan sales report on the side, also couldn't help but look up and look toward Li Dongling.
But foreign automobile giants are different. For so many years, technology has been constantly maturing, and car radios and car audio equipment have been developed for several years. It is not so easy for Feiyan to replace them.
But Yao Luoying looked at Li Dongling. She felt that Li Dongling dared to let Feiyan Technology enter this line, so he must have a backup plan. From the mini-radio project, it was enough to see how good Li Dongling's vision was!
What Feiyan Technology wants to do is to develop a new generation of car DVD audio equipment. It can not only play music, but in the future, it will also provide navigation for cars!"
Car CDs certainly have a lot of advantages. Even twenty years later, just comparing sound quality, not many can compare to it. But no matter how good it is, there is one bad point, and that is that it is too expensive, and it is too delicate, and it is easy to have problems. CD discs are also outrageously expensive.
Before, Yao Zhurong and the group of Pingyang municipal government personnel were somewhat hesitant when they heard Li Dongling let Feiyan Technology enter the car radio and car audio equipment field.
"Car audio equipment has now entered the CD player era. It has replaced cassette tapes and tape players, but the expensive price of CD players and discs also makes it impossible to be completely popularized!"
Among them, in addition to Li Dongling not letting Feiyan Technology expand radio production lines anymore, it is also because in terms of technology, foreign countries have developed for several years.
Li Dongling said to Fu Cheng and the others that whether it is car CD or car DVD, they will be replaced sooner or later. This is an indisputable fact, but that is something that will happen ten or twenty years later!
The domestic automobile industry is indeed lagging behind foreign automobile giants now, especially car interiors and accessories, which are still stuck in the era of "as long as it can run, it's fine." A group of domestic automobile brands, whether it is air conditioning, audio, adjustable seats, power windows, etc., have not appeared at all. Some car shock absorbers are even saved, and people will be scattered after sitting in a car for a long-distance trip.
Modifying a better car CD audio equipment costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Except for music enthusiasts, not many people will toss like this.
In contrast, car DVD might not be so outstanding, but it is sturdy and durable, DVD discs are also cheap, and it can also provide navigation. This is destined that car DVD equipment will be much easier to popularize than car CD.
"Manufacturers like Panasonic in Japan are also developing DVD technology. The Provincial Capital Joint Laboratory will cooperate with the Feiyan Technical Department to develop technology.
Feiyan must enter the car radio and car audio equipment industry. I hope that in the future, companies in the automobile industry will use carrying Feiyan car audio equipment as a selling point, and users will also be proud to use Feiyan car audio equipment!"
Hearing these words, Fu Cheng, Jiang Shoucheng, and others couldn't help but be moved. If one day, a group of foreign luxury car brands also use carrying Feiyan radios and Feiyan car audio equipment as a selling point to promote, then not to mention Feiyan Technology becoming a representative of domestic brands, as Feiyan engineers, they would also be proud of their professional careers!
Of course, if this project can be done, then the corresponding bonuses and dividends will definitely not be less for Fu Cheng, Jiang Shoucheng, and the others, and it will even be much larger than the project revenue of mini-radios!
Radios, in the final analysis, are still a sunset industry. Even if they sell well for a while, they cannot last too long. Even if Feiyan has established a new track for multi-functional emergency radios like the Dolphin radio, it only sells a few million units a year at most, and it is impossible to grow too much.
But adding car radios and car audio equipment is different. Automobiles are a constantly exploding industry. From fuel vehicles to new energy electric vehicles, the annual production and sales are over tens of millions. If Feiyan Technology can occupy the car audio equipment industry, then in the next twenty years, Li Dongling will not need to worry about Feiyan Technology anymore.
With mini-radios, car radios, car audio equipment, plus the Himalaya Internet Radio Station, and in the future, it can also extend to industries such as car navigation, car TV entertainment, etc. In the future, Feiyan Technology can get a large amount of cash flow every year. Living for a few decades is not a problem, not to mention that in the future, Li Dongling can also let Feiyan Technology launch projects like P3...
The Feiyan A10 and Dolphin radio are still selling well, orders are coming in one after another, and the media is also discussing the news of Himalaya Internet Radio Station.
But inside Feiyan Technology, after the noise, it is still busy. The Feiyan Technical Department, in addition to retaining a part of the technical personnel to continue to upgrade the two Dolphin radio models and develop new radios, the remaining engineers like Jiang Shoucheng have all begun to switch to the car radio and car audio equipment project.
After Li Dongling came out of Feiyan Technology, he switched to the Shangguan Economic Development Zone. This new Pingyang area, which has been listed for less than half a year, is a large construction site at this time.
When approaching the Shangguan Economic Development Zone, you can see large mechanical equipment parked on both sides of the road, and countless vehicles carrying various earthwork, cement, and steel bars constantly passing through.
Now the living conditions in the Shangguan Economic Development Zone are really not very good. Construction day and night makes the noise here very loud, but for the original people of Shangguan Town and those who make a living here, the roar of machines is extremely pleasant, because it represents wage income, represents being able to buy food to fill their stomachs for their families, and clothes to keep warm!
Not long after the Tiger-Head Benz entered the Shangguan Economic Development Zone, the outside of the car was already gray. Many sheds were set up on the periphery of the construction site. Li Dongling saw that the things sold under these sheds were varied—there were those selling food, noodles, dumplings, rice, etc., and others selling clothes, haircuts, daily necessities, and other ways of making a living, as if treating this place as a large supermarket.
But thinking about it, it's also true. Now there are more than a dozen construction teams in the Shangguan Economic Development Zone, with thousands of people busy here, and the Torch Group pays wages very promptly and never defaults, which has formed a new consumer market here.
Li Dongling got out of the car and looked toward the large construction site in front of him, seeing that the prototype of the Torch Group had begun to appear, especially the most important R&D center and production base, where the construction progress is the fastest now.
"Mr. Li!"
Hearing that Li Dongling was coming, Zhang Xiaocheng, the General Manager of the Torch Group who was on the construction site, hurried over covered in mud.
Li Dongling was just about to talk to Zhang Xiaocheng when the phone rang suddenly. When Zhang Xiaocheng saw Li Dongling receive this call, his expression clearly changed.
"Brother Li, is something wrong?!" Zhang Xiaocheng asked nervously when he saw Li Dongling's expression.
Although the Torch Group has several shareholders, Zhang Xiaocheng really counts on Dongling Gao Ke and Li Dongling. If Li Dongling abandons the Torch Group, then the currently high-profile Asia's largest lighter project might instantly become a big mess.
Shaking his head, Li Dongling took a deep breath and said to Zhang Xiaocheng, "It has nothing to do with the Torch Group. It's the Wan Dai Company in Japan that has had some changes!"
The call was from Ning Wenke of the Ning's Trading Company in Hong Kong, who only told Li Dongling one thing: the global electronic pet machine market has collapsed, the stock price of Wan Dai in Japan has also crashed, and Wan Dai's revenue for the new quarter might suffer a huge loss!
