Rebirth of the Wild Age

Shen Fuxing walked in the front, pointing to a piece of land under construction and said: "The area of ​​Changyang Valley High-tech Park was doubled last year, and several supporting enterprises moved in. The district allocated another 30 mu of land to build factories. Now China Science and Technology Company covers a total area of ​​more than 50 acres."

"It's still too small, at least 300 mu is barely enough." Song Weiyang said.

Shen Fuxing said with a wry smile: "No matter how suburban Yangpu is, it is also Shenghai. Where can I get 300 mu of land? The current 50 mu of land is also because China Science and Technology belongs to the leading enterprise in Changyang Valley. Approved."

Song Weiyang said: "It's really not possible. In the future, we can only build a branch factory in northern Jiangsu."

"I think so too." Shen Fuxing nodded.

Since the early 1990s, due to rising land prices and wages in Shenghai, many factories in Shenghai have moved to northern Jiangsu. And because there was no railway in most parts of northern Jiangsu at that time, under the cooperation of the government and enterprises, northern Jiangsu quickly possessed the most developed expressway network in the country. By 1999, the expressway connected almost all counties in northern Jiangsu, and passed through highways. The bridge connects Shenghai and southern Jiangsu.

Song Weiyang followed Shen Fuxing around the science and technology park, looking at the factory area that has been built or is still under construction, more or less felt a sense of pride.

Another space-time Changyang Valley, even in 2014, the total planning area is only 80 mu. I was even embarrassed to call it the "High-tech Park" at the beginning, but changed the name to "Creative Park" halfway through, and all the enterprises settled in are cultural creativity, design services and Internet content.

Now it has been directly led by Song Weiyang, and the total planned area has exceeded 200 mu, 80% of which is used for building factories, and many nearby residents have been demolished to settle in Wujiaochang.

When he came to the repeater production workshop, Song Weiyang picked up a Shenzhou repeater that had just rolled off the production line. The person in charge of the technology introduced: "Our repeater uses Toshiba tc8831f voice chip..."

"The main components are Japanese products, and we only do assembly?" Song Weiyang interrupted.

The person in charge of the technology said: "There is really no need to develop the voice chip by ourselves. It is a technology several years ago, and the market price is already very low. We can definitely develop it if we invest money, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The cost is actually cheaper than buying Japanese products directly. Higher. Of course, we are also engaged in technology research and development, and the headquarters R\u0026D center is preparing to improve Toshiba chips, and has achieved laboratory results."

Now Shenzhou Science and Technology has two R\u0026D centers, one in Shenghai headquarters, with R\u0026D personnel from various universities in Shenghai, and one in Beijing, with R\u0026D personnel from various universities in Beijing.

The technical research and development of the repeater is done at the headquarters.

Song Weiyang asked: "What result?"

The person in charge of the technology said: "Toshiba tc8831f voice chip is a fast digital-analog hybrid integrated circuit with low cost and high performance. It only needs to connect a small number of devices such as dram, mcu and output audio power amplifier circuit to realize a typical audio recording and playback. System. Just like telephone recording and leaving a message, many companies use this chip. The tc8831f chip can connect up to 4 pieces of 4m*1bit dram as a voice storage medium. Under laboratory conditions, it can record for about 512 seconds. Now The recording time of the repeaters on the market does not exceed 300 seconds, and some even only 20 seconds."

"Why is the recording time so short?" Song Weiyang asked.

"The selected supporting components are different, and the circuit design of the repeater is also different. The shorter the recording time, the lower the manufacturing cost of the repeater." The person in charge of the technology said.

Song Weiyang said: "How many seconds can our repeater record?"

The person in charge of the technology said: "Two models have been launched temporarily, one with a recording time of 120 seconds and one with a recording time of 500 seconds. And our headquarters laboratory is improving the existing repeater circuit, with a very small hardware cost And control software modification, expand the dram interface capability of Toshiba chips to 4 pieces of 16m*1bit."

"What is the recording time after improvement?" Song Weiyang asked.

"Half an hour." The technical director said.

"How much?" Song Weiyang thought he heard it wrong. He used to say how many seconds, but now it is directly measured in hours.

The person in charge of the technology smiled and said: "Of course, this is just laboratory data, and it doesn't take as long to record as a repeater."

Song Weiyang asked, "What about the manufacturing cost?"

The person in charge of the technology said: "The cost has only increased by about 0.5 times, mainly because the dram used is quite expensive. In fact, if a relatively satisfactory 16kbps digital signal transmission rate is used, the recording time of the repeater with this circuit can reach 70 minutes, but It's going to be very expensive."

Song Weiyang praised: "That's right, the staff in the R\u0026D center at the headquarters are very good."

The person in charge of the technology laughed and said: "Actually, we can also look at it the other way around. If there is no need to extend the recording time, then the external memory can be reduced from 4 pieces to 1 piece, which not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also reduces power consumption and prolongs battery life. time, reduce the PCB area and circuit board size. Our repeater can be lower in price, lower in power consumption, smaller in size, and lighter in weight.”

Song Weiyang nodded to Shen Fuxing and said, "The R\u0026D personnel should be rewarded."

Shen Fuxing said: "When this improvement can be mass-produced, I will immediately reward the R\u0026D team."

Song Weiyang asked: "What brands of repeaters are on the market now?"

Shen Fuxing said: "There are only two brands, one is Magic Parrot and the other is Shenghai Yonghua. However, the Ministry of Education has issued a document to pay attention to students' English speaking and listening skills. I estimate that many manufacturers will make repeaters this year. .”

There are more than a lot, it is blooming everywhere!

Wanxin, Zhizhida, Backgammon, Yonghua, Baoan, Xiaobawang... Even Tsinghua Unigroup, which makes scanners, and TCL, which makes TVs, all came to share a piece of the pie, which shows how big the market potential of repeaters is.

In a few years, small garbage factories will also be able to produce repeaters, just like a vegetable seller speculating in stocks, which will directly collapse the industry.

Fortunately, Song Weiyang had the foresight and entered the market before a lot of manufacturers.

There are currently two repeater brands on the market. The recording time of the magic parrot is only tens of seconds, and the recording time of the Yonghua repeater is only 120 seconds. competitors.

Back in the company's administrative building, Shen Si has already completed the handover procedures, and got in touch with the assistant chairman of Xifeng Company and Jinniu Capital to officially start work!

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, you are from southern Hunan. Today I will treat you to authentic Hunan cuisine!"

"That..." Shen Si pointed at the pimples on her face, and said weakly, "Boss, can you change the cuisine?"

"Hahaha," Song Weiyang laughed wickedly, "Then I won't embarrass you, and I will eat in the factory cafeteria."

Shen Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that the boss would be difficult to serve, Amitabha, God bless, it seems that he can handle it now.

(Tomorrow three more, today is gone.)
