Back in Beijing, school had started. Feng Yu was enjoying his school life. Every day, he could read books, play basketball with his classmates after class, and even brag with them. It was a relaxing feeling.
During class, Feng Yu's pager starts to vibrate. He took a peek at it and did not say it was urgent. After class, Feng Yu went to the toilet and took out his new Sony Z1. He dialed a number: "Hello? I am Feng Yu. "
"General Manager Feng, the prototype is ready!" Jiang Wanmeng shouted excitedly over the phone.
So soon, the prototype is out? Feng Yu could not help but smile. Another cash cow is about to appear.
"Have you informed Manager Fu?"
"Yes. Manager Fu said he will bring his men over tomorrow. When is General Manager Feng coming over?"
"Tomorrow too. I also want to see the prototype as soon as possible!"
Back in class, Feng Yu asked Tian Lei to help him apply for two days leave. He will be going to Hefei tonight and will only be back tomorrow night. Tian Lei did not ask Feng Yu what he was going to do. He just promised to take care of it.
In the afternoon, Feng Yu made a phone call and found out that there will be a flight to Hefei at 3 pm. Feng Yu skipped his afternoon classes and drove to the airport.
At around 5 pm, when Feng Yu walked out of the airport, Jiang Wanmeng had sent someone to pick him up. The car to pick him up … … was an old van!
Feng Yu was satisfied. Jiang Wanmeng did not use his money to enjoy. Instead, he used it to develop the factory. This was good. The shares Feng Yu gave to Jiang Wanmeng were not wasted.
"Is Manager Fu here?"
"Manager Fu will be here tonight. He will be changing planes at Tianfu."
Currently, there were no direct flights from Hong Kong to Hefei. There was only one flight between Hefei and Shenzhen in the morning. The flights still had to stop in Shanghai.
At night, Feng Yu was resting in the hotel, but he couldn't fall asleep. VCD. If this was successful, it would be a revolutionary product in the history of home appliances!
VCR and LD players will be replaced by VCD players. With the development of compression technology, there will be Super VCD, DVD, etc., all of which will be sold out.
But this time, Feng Yu will not only introduce Wind and rain VCD players. He will also introduce Aiwa VCD players. These brands will have different technologies and will be competing with each other. This will prevent Aiwa from being sued for monopolization.
If they knew that Wind and rain and Aiwa were owned by the same person, then Feng Yu would use this technology to cooperate with Lenovo. He will let the optical drive replace the floppy drive in computers.
Feng Yu had finally contacted Lenovo, but he was disappointed. Currently, Lenovo was not restructured and was not a shareholding company. Liu Chuanzhi and the rest do not have any shares in the company.
But even so, when Feng Yu asked Liu Chuanzhi and the rest to join him, he was rejected by Liu Chuanzhi. This was because the Computer Research Institute had decided to change the company to a shareholding company.
When Lenovo changed to a shareholding company, Liu Chuanzhi and the rest of the senior executives, technicians, and managers will be rewarded with shares. Also, Liu Chuanzhi will still be the General Manager of Lenovo. The higher-ups even said that Liu Chuanzhi will have the chance to be the Chairman!
This was not the choice of a chicken head or a phoenix tail. Both were phoenixes. Lenovo had the support of the government, and Liu Chuanzhi felt that Lenovo will become one of the top PC manufacturers in China and even the world. Although Feng Yu had promised to invest and give him shares, Feng Yu still had the authority.
Feng Yu was very disappointed when Liu Chuanzhi rejected to join him. But Feng Yu remembered that when Lenovo was restructured, they had sold their shares to other companies, and it was a private company. This was why Lenovo was known as the top private technology company in the future. It was because the state-owned enterprises' shares had dropped to about 30%.
Liu Chuanzhi refused to join him and was determined to stay in Lenovo. But this did not stop Feng Yu from investing in Lenovo. If Lenovo wants to grow rapidly, it will need funds. In Feng Yu's previous life, Lenovo had been growing with profits, and this had restricted Lenovo's growth.
It was until 1996, when Lenovo had the money to start a price war, and they became the leader in China. After a few years of accumulation, they had the money to make a name for themselves in the international market.
I can't poach you, Liu Chuanzhi, but can you stop me from investing in Lenovo? Next year, the 586 will appear, and Win 3.2 will be released. Computers will develop faster, and overseas products will flood into China.
Feng Yu does not believe that Lenovo's holding company will reject his offer to invest in Lenovo at this time.
The Computer Research Institute had always needed the government's funding. Don't they want more funding to continue to innovate their technologies?
Next year, the VCD player will be launched, and Wind and rain will be a strong force in the consumer electronics industry. At most, Feng Yu could exchange his shares.
Later in the night, Feng Yu fell asleep. The next morning, he went downstairs for breakfast and saw Fu Guangzheng eating water pancakes. Yesterday, Fu Guangzheng had arrived at the research institute at midnight and did not disturb Feng Yu.
After breakfast, Feng Yu and Feng Yu went to the research institute. Jiang Wanmeng was already waiting there.
"Please take a look. This is our VCD player prototype!" Jiang Wanmeng removed a piece of red cloth and showed the machine inside.
It was 20 cm thick, 50 cm long and 40 cm wide. It was much bigger than what Feng Yu remembered of a VCD player. The outer casing was made of metal, and it looked heavy.
"Manager Jiang, how heavy is this prototype?"
"About 13 KG."
26 KG? This was too heavy. A VCR was only about 5 KG. Feng Yu remembered that the VCD player was much lighter than a VCR.
"Manager Jiang, can you reduce the size of this model? Also, it is too heavy. Can't you reduce the weight? "Feng Yu asked with a frown.
"It should not be a problem. After all, this is only a prototype. Many of the components can be replaced with lighter materials. But this way, the cost will increase. "Jiang Wanmeng replied.
"Will it affect the playback quality?"
"That will not happen. The playback quality is the most important aspect of this VCD player. We cannot allow any flaws to appear. This is only a prototype. In another month, we can guarantee that the weight will be reduced to 8 KG. For example, the buttons can be changed to plastic, and the quality will not be affected. "
8 KG was still acceptable. In Feng Yu's previous life, an LCD TV weighed about 15 to 20 KG. It was as if the heavier it was, the more refined it looked. It wouldn't do if he made it extremely light all at once. Others would think that it was an empty shell inside.
"Ok. Do you have a VCD disc? Play it and let me see."
Jiang Wanmeng unplugged the antenna at the back of the TV and connected the cables to the VCD player. He switched on the VCD player and inserted the disc into the VCD player. He pressed a few more buttons and the VCD player started.
The TV started playing the opening speech of the New Year's Day Gala. The host's facial features could be seen clearly on the TV screen.
When the first song was played, Feng Yu heard Nan Ge's voice and nodded.
"Brother Fu, what do you think?"
Fu Guangzheng was clapping and nodding: "Luckily I had invested in this company. This VCD player will surely replace VCR and will be popular all over the world!"
Fu Guangzheng was feeling proud. He had not made any losses when he invested with Feng Yu!
Luckily I am friends with Feng Yu!
