Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

After Bao Zixuan was teased by the proprietress at the Pink Restaurant, he returned to the company with everyone. Except for the first five people who came from Xiangjiang, everyone else lived in the community opposite the company.

After a simple wash, Bao Zixuan began to write a research and development plan for the Walkman. He planned to prepare more without having to take a basic course in mechanical manufacturing tomorrow morning. He could already be exempted from it. He wanted to hold a meeting with the hardware department to complete the development of the Walkman as soon as possible.

.And it must not only be practical, but also fashionable. It seems that I need to find a fashion designer to match my appearance design.

To put it bluntly, a walkman is a smaller version of a tape recorder. It is a machine that records sounds for repeated playback. It uses magnetic materials as carriers and uses the residual magnetism properties of magnetic materials to record sound signals on the carrier. It must have a playback function. Most of them

Use test tapes for playback and recording functions.

To put it bluntly, the Walkman is mainly composed of a microphone, tape, recording head, amplifier circuit, speaker, transmission mechanism and other components. In addition, a headset must be developed for the Walkman, and the sound quality must be good. The control of the software part is very simple and easy to use.

The control chip is not very complicated. You can do it by yourself.

Early the next morning, in the conference room of the North American branch of Heiyun Company.

Bao Zixuan sat at the top, looked at the eight hardware engineers below, and said: "I know that everyone is basically cooperating with the research and development of game consoles at the Xiangjiang headquarters. The plan there can be completed step by step, so I hope

Our North American branch relies on the abundant human resources here to do some things of its own."

After saying that, he sent everyone the drawings he sketched last night, "Our North American branch will develop a product of our own before Christmas this year, that is - a portable tape recorder. I named it Walkman.

.”

The patents for the tape recorder are basically in the hands of Philips of the Netherlands. Mr. Gucheng needs to work hard. We need to obtain his patent authorization. You should set off tomorrow and contact lawyer Larry Brown and ask him to arrange for someone to go with you. Even if there are too many

Pay a few dollars to bring back the patents I need.

Jiro Furujo's recent work interest has not been very high. After all, Hiroshi Hashimoto, who came to the United States with him, has been reused. Although he is the head of the American branch of the hardware development department, he is more interested in the procurement of the Xiangjiang branch.

I needed the equipment and components. I acted like a purchasing manager instead of an engineer. When I heard that I finally had a chance to show my talents, I happily agreed, thinking that I must do a good job.

After explaining the research and development work of the Walkman, Bao Zixuan will return to MIT to find his roommate Thomas Marr to cooperate with him. Based on the current development of the Black Cloud R&D team, I am afraid that Sony's Walkman will already be sold all over the street.

All in all, only by relying on the strong scientific research reserves of MIT can we have the confidence to develop the product before Christmas.

After returning to the dormitory at noon, I saw that Thomas Marr hadn't come back yet. It seemed that this guy had gone to pick up girls again. I had to go to class first and come back to find him in the evening!

In the afternoon, there was a course on CNC machine tools. Bao Zixuan had already completed all the credits, but he thought that in order to quickly produce the Walkman, he must have his own CNC machine tools. He wanted to see how to use the school's resources to improve his company's equipment.

Thinking of this, he picked up his backpack and walked towards the CNC machine tool laboratory without hesitation.

Everyone, including the professor, was stunned when they saw Bao Zixuan coming to the laboratory. After all, many students would not come back to take this class after completing their credits. Academic studies at MIT are very demanding.

This class is taught by Professor Bluman. This absolute authority on CNC machine tools has never left MIT in his life. He likes Bao Zixuan very much, a student who is very proficient in computers and mechanical manufacturing, especially his article on Industry 4.0.

After the paper explained the huge role of CNC machine tools, this major suddenly became the most popular major, and many students chose to take it as an elective.

Looking at Bao Zixuan, "Why are you here? Didn't I give you all the credits? Bao, thanks to you, there are a lot of students now, but there are no machine tools for you to do experiments." Professor Bluman smiled at Bao Zi

Xuan said.

When many students majoring in this major heard that the famous Bao Zixuan was in front of them, they cheered spontaneously. Especially girls, many asked questions from Bao Zixuan regardless of their image.

After Professor Bluman asked the students to keep quiet, everyone started the class again.

Bao Zixuan: "Professor, I suddenly thought of a topic, so I wanted to come to the laboratory to verify it. Knowing that you are taking classes here, I wanted to learn more from you."

Professor Bluman: "Okay! You will conduct group experiments and operations according to the assignment just now. The teaching assistant will supervise, Bao and I will come over." After watching Bao Zixuan and the professor leave, the students were full of curiosity. Bao's topic

Why don't I have a chance to participate?

After entering Professor Bluman's personal laboratory, "Tell me, what good ideas do you have? It's not just to make me happy!" Professor Bluman said to Bao Zixuan.

Bao Zixuan: "How could it be possible? I thought that our current machine tools occupy a large area and the power they use is also very wasteful. It is okay when processing large parts, but small parts will cause a serious waste of resources. In the past, we were limited to

Computer performance and size are too big, but now the functions of chips are becoming more and more powerful, but the size is getting smaller and smaller. I think the conditions for developing small accessory machine tools are mature, and I will write the software control system myself, so I want to move in this direction.

Start developing projects.”

Professor Bluman: "You don't just think about this! Tell me what other purpose you have. You are not only my student now, but also an entrepreneur. You can't spend your energy developing new products for no reason."

Bao Zixuan: "As expected, I can't escape your fiery eyes. I want to make a small electronic product, which requires a large number of small machine tools, but there is no suitable one on the market."

Professor Bluman took out several drawings from the drawer, all of which were conceptual drawings of small machine tools. The varieties were very complete, covering almost all shapes of small parts production. Bao Zixuan looked at it and knew that it was very feasible.

My eyes have started to feel hot.

After seeing Bao Zixuan's expression, Professor Bluman said: "Well, as you said, I have considered this issue 5 years ago, but the school is not an enterprise and has not established a project. And the software operating system and chip

The configuration never met the requirements, and in the end it had to be sealed. But I think it should be commercially available now, what do you think?"

Bao Zixuan: "I think it's very good. You are an authority on CNC machine tools. With these and the control system, we can put it into production immediately, and the efficiency will be very high."

Professor Bluman: "If you like it, take it! After all, it can only be blueprints here. And this is just the general drawing. The rest of the information is in that box. It has not been opened for a long time. They have never seen it.

It’s day.”

Bao Zixuan: "Professor, I am telling you that I am an entrepreneur. I cannot take your research results for free. Anyway, the school has not established a project. How about I pay for it. And I will use it in the production process.

Go to the school laboratory. If the patent and ownership rights are not clear, there is no way to commercialize it. The most important thing is that it has huge economic value."

Professor Bluman: "You are right, I am too idealistic. I will cooperate with you in whatever you plan to do."

Bao Zixuan: "I have entrusted your laboratory to research and develop small machine tools in the name of the company, and then the patent and usage rights will belong to Heiyun Company. Your laboratory will receive US$10 million in research and development funds. And you have already completed the research and development.

Then this 10 million fund is the reasonable income of the team. And you will get 3% of the profit share during the product patent period, which according to my calculation can reach 5 to 8 million US dollars per year."

Professor Bluman: "If you say you really have such high profits, aren't you afraid that I will find someone to start over and exclude you?"

Bao Zixuan: "Are you afraid it will be useful? And if the machine tool wants to achieve commercial results, it must be assisted by a powerful software control system, and you know my strength in this area."

Professor Bluman: "Then follow your plan."

Bao Zixuan immediately called the company and asked someone to pick up a lawyer and come to MIT. After the lawyer drafted the contract, Bao Zixuan and Professor Bluman signed their names respectively. Bao Zixuan also handed over a check of US$10 million to Bu

Professor Luhmann asked four people from the company and Professor Bluhmann's assistants to start trial production of small machine tools in the laboratory. He himself wanted to speed up the development of software.
