Fatty Huang left excitedly. He wants to complete this task as soon as possible. The earlier he acquires those small factories, the earlier he can get Feng Yu's orders.
Fatty Huang was never worried about doing business with General Manager Feng because General Manager Feng will set aside a reasonable amount of profits for them. General Manager Feng had said that there is no absolute fairness in doing business. But both parties should have profits, and this is the most basic. If not, it will be squeezed dry!
Feng Yu smiled and shook his head after Fatty Huang left. He did not expect Fatty Huang to become fatter these few years. He is like a moving meatball!
But this also proves that Fatty Huang's life is getting better. If Fatty Huang was not here to look for Feng Yu, he will not fly so far.
Feng Yu did not teach Fatty Huang on a whim. Lenovo, Wind and Rain, and other brands' products are produced by themselves, and they hire contractors to manufacture the parts for them. The contractors are mainly Foxconn.
Liu Chuanzhi had discussed with Feng Yu before. Foxconn had too many orders, and those Taiwanese are too arrogant. That's why Feng Yu wants to look for another capable factory. Even if it is only an ordinary factory, as long as Feng Yu takes away some of Foxconn's orders, he will be able to beat Foxconn.
Also, Feng Yu has a new idea. He wants to look for a factory to produce this product. The factories under Taihua Holdings are full. Although Feng Yu can ask them to work overtime, they might not be able to do it.
Feng Yu wants to produce a new product called Portable DVD.
What is Portable DVD? It is to miniaturize a DVD, remove some complicated functions, add an LCD screen, audio equipment, and use the same battery as a laptop.
Many people who like to travel or travel often want to watch exciting movies during their travels. Of course, laptops can also do this.
But laptops cost 7,000 to 8,000 RMB now, and the expensive ones cost tens of thousands. Not everyone is willing to buy a laptop. Furthermore, many people do not know how to use a computer.
This was how the portable DVD was created in his previous life. It was also invented by Hua Xia and sold quite well. Some of the LCD screens were combined with the players, similar to laptops, and some were separated.
Many people must have seen the separate kind. It was the kind used in tourist buses or long-distance buses. All they needed was an external monitor.
In his previous life, the price had dropped from three to four thousand RMB to a few hundred RMB. However, there were still many people who bought it. For example, some old men bought it to listen to opera. They could even bring it to the park to play it.
In other words, this product was targeted at the elderly instead of families.
Feng Yu told Jiang Wanmeng about this idea, and Jiang Wanmeng felt that it was feasible.
Originally, the functions of their DVD players were constantly increasing, which could be seen from the increasing number of buttons on the remote control.
But now, Feng Yu wanted to get rid of those complicated functions and return to the original DVD player. There were only simple play, pause, fast forward, and other functions, and nothing else.
Feng Yu also wanted to get a few buttons, and not too many. It must be easy for people to see them clearly.
Jiang Wanmeng drew a simple sketch. There was only a screen, a speaker, a battery, a CD-ROM drive, and a few buttons. Feng Yu told him that this was it!
But Jiang Wanmeng thought of another point. Even if this portable DVD player had an LCD screen, it can also be connected to an external monitor. This means it can be used as a home DVD player.
At home, it can be connected to a TV, and when outside, it can be connected to an LCD screen. Although this portable DVD player had fewer functions compared to the mainstream DVD players, it had a wider range of applications and should be able to increase sales.
Feng Yu thought for a while and felt that Jiang Wanmeng's suggestion made sense. So, he agreed to follow Jiang Wanmeng's suggestion. Feng Yu's factory does not have spare space to produce this product, and they will need an OEM.
But when the person in charge of Changhong heard that Wind & Rain Electronics wants to develop a portable DVD player, he immediately thought of the mobile TV from overseas!
This is a type of TV that can only watch terrestrial channels (not satellite channels). It is an old-fashioned TV that uses an antenna to receive TV programs. After this type of TV was introduced, the market response was average. But Changhong felt Hua Xia does not have many satellite TV stations, and many people are used to watching local TV stations. This mobile TV is enough.
The Americans invented this mobile TV, but the US still uses cable TV or satellite TV. That's why this mobile TV is not popular in the US.
But the situation was different. A product that was not popular in the US might be popular in China.
That's why Changhong wants to discuss with Wind & Rain Electronics to develop a portable DVD player and a mobile TV together. This way, people can watch TV even when there are no discs.
Also, with more functions, it will be more popular.
Feng Yu was surprised. This leader from Changhong has good foresight. In Feng Yu's previous life, the portable DVD player was integrated with a mobile TV.
Feng Yu thought no one can think of this. But he had underestimated the intelligence of others. Feng Yu had relied on his previous life's memories to know the future development of this product, while others had relied on their professional foresight to think of this product.
Feng Yu immediately told Jiang Wanmeng that he agreed. If they can combine the two, the market will be bigger. For example, some renters want to watch TV, but the landlord does not provide it. If they buy a big TV, it will be inconvenient when they move. If he were to buy a DVD player, it would be more troublesome and expensive.
If there is a product that combines a TV and a DVD player, some people will consider it. Also, there is a market for this product in China. For example, the nomads.
They also want to watch TV, but it is not convenient for them. Especially a big TV. It is more troublesome to carry it around as it needs to be moved according to the vegetation.
In Feng Yu's previous life, these places are also the main markets for this product. Are they going to sing and dance around the campfire every day after grazing cows and sheep? Or they can only hold a radio and listen to the radio?
In fact, many of those nomadic tribes were not short of money. Many families have hundreds of cows and sheep, and their income is comparable to or even higher than a well-off family. Also, these nomads do not have to worry about their houses and cars!
Feng Yu had only wanted to develop a simple portable DVD player. But after Jiang Wanmeng and Changhong's top management's suggestions, the functions of this portable DVD player keep increasing. It will take at least one to two months to launch this product.
But even if Feng Yu introduces this product one year later, he can still make it in time. Maybe this product can make more profits than the HD DVD player.
