Speaking of MP3 players, Daqian Electronics had to be mentioned. Boss Jia not only liked to separate businesses, but he also liked to integrate them.
Therefore, all of his electronic products, except for mobile phones, were integrated into Daqian Electronics. And Daqian Electronics' most important achievement was MP3 players.
In 1997, Daqian Electronics had sold 60 million MP3 players in the global market. The average profit was as high as 6.9 billion USD. This newly established company was even more powerful than Daqian Culture. It had become a source of profit that was second only to large-scale games.
However, Daqian Electronics was still very worried. This was because MP3 players were basically a one-time deal. It was impossible to expect users to switch to new MP3 players within a year or two. Therefore, Daqian Electronics had to find a way to develop other new products. Otherwise, the second year's performance would be quite bad.
However, the entire Daqian Electronics was a little confused. They didn't know what to develop. Therefore, the first president of Daqian Electronics, who was also Boss Jia's second chief secretary, Secretary Chen, reported to Boss Jia and asked for instructions on what kind of electronic products they should develop next.
"Are you stupid? Since we have achieved great success in MP3 players, we can continue to work on MP3 players and improve them!" After Boss Jia heard this, he looked at his former secretary with angry eyes.
In any case, he has been by my side for more than three years. Why hasn't this guy learned any of my intelligence?
"Please enlighten me, Chairman!" The other party still asked helplessly. In fact, it was not that he didn't understand. It was just that he had worked for Boss Jia for three years, and he knew very well that no matter how good his idea was, it was not as good as the idea that Boss Jia came up with casually.
"It's such a simple addition. Can't you do it?" Boss Jia continued to sigh.
"Addition?" Secretary Chen was still in a daze.
"Yes! Let me ask you, how much is 3 + 1? "
“4！” Secretary Chen thought for a long time. After confirming that there was no trap in this question, he answered cautiously.
"That's right. Our next flagship product is the MP4!"

"Watermelon, I heard that you're going to be an uncle soon. Congratulations!" When Boss Jia saw He Guagua, he stopped reprimanding his secretary and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, chairman!" He Guagua said angrily.
Regarding the fact that he was about to become an uncle, He Watermelon did not have a good impression of it. After all, he had watched his sister grow up. Such a good cabbage was actually taken away by that guy, Ma Huateng. It was really too much.
Moreover, the other party was extremely fast. They got married in May of 1997, got pregnant in June, and was actually going to give birth in two months.
He Guagua didn't even have a wife now. Although Ma Yun said that he had a younger sister who wanted to be friends with He Guagua, He Guagua rejected him directly when he saw Ma Yun's face.
"Reporting, chairman. Our Daqian Enterprise's profit didn't increase much this year. It only increased by two times compared to last year, reaching a net profit of 600 million USD!" He Guagua raised his head and said proudly.
Although 600 million USD didn't seem to be a lot among all the companies that reported before, He Guagua and the other companies that made money by selling products didn't understand that he sold the entire sales network, which made it harder for him to make money than other companies.
He Guagua's hair had turned white a lot. He was only 25 years old this year!
"Really? Why do I find that in your financial statement, the income from the transportation business is higher than the income from your product agency? "Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"…" He Guagua immediately shut his mouth. In fact, the Daqian Enterprise's profit last year was about 200 million USD. Boss Jia asked him to use the 200 million USD to buy a large number of trucks, train drivers, set up the transportation network in the country, and build a dozen logistics centers to further promote the logistics business in the country.
At first, He Guagua was a little unhappy, but it turned out that the investment almost made back in the second year.
Because with the continuous international development of Taobao, more and more companies in China joined Taobao, which was a platform that could connect to markets all over the world.
In the whole of 1997, the number of orders from Taobao increased by almost ten times, and the number of goods sent from China to foreign countries increased by ten times.
As the biggest partner of Taobao in China, He Guagua, who had just built his own logistics network, naturally took over all of Taobao's transportation business in China.
As a result, the 200 million USD logistics network, which was thought to have enough room after ten years of construction, was directly overcrowded in 1997. The logistics network was full as soon as it was built.
At this time, Hua Xia's logistics system was basically a solo operation for each company. Each company only had two or three trucks, and they specialized in the transportation of a line.
Such a logistics company naturally couldn't be compared with Daqian Logistics, which had a complete network. In terms of cost, Daqian Logistics was about 30% cheaper on average.
As a result, in addition to the companies and orders designated by Taobao, many other companies came to Hua Xia, hoping to transport goods through Daqian Logistics. This directly caused the Daqian Logistics network to be filled with all kinds of orders. In one year, they had earned back all the 200 million USD investment, and there was still some left. It was terrifying.
However, this also reflected the terrifying development of Hua Xia's goods and foreign trade in recent years.
"Work harder. I think we can invest 400 million USD from the 600 million USD we earned this year to continue to develop Daqian Logistics!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Four hundred million US dollars!" He Guagua shuddered. Why did he feel that this logistics business was more important than his own business?
Then, according to Boss Jia's personality, this logistics business would probably …
"Guagua, I think it's better to separate the Daqian Logistics from Daqian Business and set up a separate company specializing in logistics!" Well, what was to come would come.
"I understand!" He Guagua didn't have much objection. After all, the business company was in charge of logistics, and it was not very effective. They were two completely different teams. There were many contradictions within the Daqian Business, so it was only a matter of time before they separated.
However, looking at the separation of Daqian Logistics, which he set up single-handedly, He Guagua was still very reluctant.
"In this way, Daqian Business and Daqian Logistics will be separated, but there will be no separation of ownership. Daqian Business and Daqian Logistics will both be under your management. You'll have to work hard!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"I'm in charge of two companies … That's not very good!" He Guagua was shocked.
In the Daqian Group, no one could manage two branches of the Daqian Group at the same time unless they worked in the head office, like Dong Mingzhu, who was in charge of the overall situation like the president.
Previously, all the branches that were separated were handed over to a new person in charge. No one could manage two companies at the same time.
Therefore, when the Daqian Logistics was separated, He Guagua thought that the child he raised would be given to someone else.
"Well, your management ability is second only to Dong Mingzhu among the Daqian executives. You should gain more experience. I have more responsibilities for you!" Boss Jia said with a smile. He Guagua's fighting spirit suddenly exploded, and he accepted the responsibilities of two companies without hesitation.
