There were two versions of the Pear Second Generation.
One was the Japanese version, and the other was the Chinese version.
Compared to the Japanese version, Riko Second Gen's domestic version had more practical functions.
Audio recording, audio recording, color screen …
Yes.
The development of mp3 players was leaps and bounds.
The Pear First Generation had a black and white screen, but the second generation had already transitioned from black and white to color.
For other electronic products, it would take at least three years for a black and white screen to transition to a color screen.
But for mp3 players, one year was enough.
Of course, the mainstream was still black and white, but the Pear Second Generation was the first to introduce a color screen.
This didn't mean that other mp3 players didn't have the ability to produce a color screen.
A color screen wasn't much more advanced than a black and white screen, but the cost was undoubtedly much higher.
Even if an ordinary mp3 player had the ability to produce a color screen, it would undoubtedly increase the cost of the mp3 player. Once the cost of the mp3 player increased, the price would be greatly increased. One had to know that not every mp3 player dared to set the price at 1,000 to 2,000 yuan. Other than the Pear Second Generation, all the major mp3 players in China were still targeting the price-quality ratio.
To put it bluntly, they were using a low price to exchange for sales.
This strategy was indeed effective, and many users who couldn't afford the Pear Second Generation would buy the price-quality mp3 players. But it was precisely because of this that the Pear Second Generation brand became more and more popular.
Now, not to mention other things, just the color screen feature of the Pear Second Generation instantly attracted countless users.
"Ahhh, it's so beautiful, when will it be available? Hurry, I want to buy it."
"The Pear Second Generation is still the best. The others are all black and white, but the Pear Second Generation has a color screen."
"It's probably going to be much more expensive."
"So what if it's expensive, I'll buy it even if it's expensive."
It should be said that the users who could afford the Pear Second Generation in China weren't ordinary people.
In fact, the Pear Second Generation was targeted at high-end users.
It didn't need everyone to buy it. Just like the Apple phone, even if it only had a 10% market share, it was still the most profitable mobile phone. At the same time, it was the benchmark of the entire industry.
There was no need for much publicity.
Just by releasing a few pictures and revealing some of the ingredients, the Pear Second Gen instantly became popular.
Originally, Chen Yu had thought that it might take a month for the first batch of Pear Second Gen to sell out. However, he didn't expect that the first batch of Pear Second Gen would be sold out in just two weeks.
Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised.
Although the Pear Second Gen was just a small MP3 player, it wasn't big and didn't sell much.
Of course, in terms of earning money, it couldn't compare to the smartphones of the future.
However, the second generation of Pear made Chen Yu extremely ambitious.
Xiao Mi?
Huawei?
Samsung?
Apple …
Perhaps in the future, there would be a Pear above them.
Of course, to reach this step, there was still a long way to go.
From an MP3 player to a mobile phone, it was definitely not as simple as one imagined.
…
"Director Duan, it's time to make up your mind."
"Mr. Duan, it'll be harder for us to develop in the future if we're entangled with Huanyu Technologies."
"Director Duan, there's nothing wrong with this. Don't hesitate."
At this time, Bubugao's top management was having a meeting. The three disciples were constantly persuading Duan Yongping.
Among the three disciples, one was Jin Zhijiang, the CEO of Bubugao in his previous life.
The other was Chen Minyong, the founder of Oppo in his previous life.
The last one was Chen Wei, the founder of Vivo in his previous life.
Without Chen Yu, Duan Yongping still had one disciple, Huang Zheng.
However, Huang Zheng was now with Chen Yu.
Other than Huang Zheng, Jin Zhijiang and the other two had been with Duan Yongping for a long time.
At this time, Chen Minyong was Duan Yongping's assistant and Chen Wei was the chief designer of Bubugao's products.
However, to really talk about Duan Yongping, there were two people who were closely related to Duan Yongping.
One was Yang Mingui. After Duan Yongping left Little Tyrant, he was the manager of Little Tyrant, Boss Wang. Later on, he resigned and started Jinzheng.
The other was Liu Lirong. He followed Yang Mingui's resignation and started Jinli.
Every single one of these six people would be famous in the future.
Pear mp3 was a product that was just a trial product. Everyone, including Duan Yongping, did not expect the mp3 to be so popular. Of course, if Pear mp3 was made by Bubugao, then there would be no problem. However, Pear mp3 was a joint venture with Huanyu Technologies.
Not only was it a joint venture, but in terms of shares, Huanyu Technologies held 51% of the shares while Bubugao held 49%.
In terms of controlling shares, Pear mp3 should belong to Huanyu Technologies.
Although this was the case, Duan Yongping's three disciples had other ideas after Pear mp3 became popular.
They no longer wanted to work with Huanyu Technologies. They wanted to do it alone.
This was a normal idea.
In their opinion, even though they worked with Huanyu Technologies to create the mp3, Bubugao had always been responsible for it. Of course, they did not deny that Huanyu Technologies played an important role in the early stages of creativity and publicity. But now, even if Huanyu Technologies was not involved, it was not a big deal.
However, even though the three disciples thought this way, they knew that Duan Yongping might not be able to make this decision.
The three of them discussed and tried to persuade Duan Yongping.
"Stop talking, let me think about it."
Duan Yongping interrupted the three of them and rubbed his temples.
He was in a dilemma.
In fact, Duan Yongping was a very easy-going person.
Just like how he could give a large portion of his power and shares to his disciples, Duan Yongping was not a utilitarian businessman. He founded Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step By Step Now that he had made a name for himself, he didn't like this kind of competition.
However, even though he did not want to, his disciples wanted to.
Of course, he did not think that his three disciples were that bad.
They were all young people. Young people wanted to make a name for themselves. Young people wanted to start their own business.
There was nothing wrong with this. He even supported this idea.
Just like Yang Mingui and Liu Lirong.
All of them had made their own way in the outside world, creating their own lives.
The two of them had done so well that it was impossible for the other three disciples to not be envious of them.
But … it was really difficult for him to make a decision.
However, Duan Yongping finally made a decision.
He wanted to give his disciples a chance.
They were still young.
They had countless passions.
The future belonged to them.
"Chen Yu, how are you these days? Are you busy? I'll come to Shencheng in a few days."
"Not busy, not busy. Teacher Duan, no matter how busy I am, I won't be busy when you come."
"Kid, you really know how to say nice things. I'll call you when I'm in Shencheng."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you, Teacher Duan."
Duan Yongping put down the phone and sighed.
He had given the opportunity to his three disciples. How they would do in the future depended on their luck.
