According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...It seems that you need some knowledge to collect junk, otherwise how can you find something worthwhile among a pile of junk?
In order to achieve the best sound quality, high-end audio systems use only a few precious metals to reduce impedance; the less impedance, the better the sound quality.
Besides the original factory-installed cable, you can also choose your own optional cable.
Of course, the choice of cable depends on one's financial situation. Most audiophiles will buy the economical silver-yellow cable, while those with less financial means will mostly buy the oxygen-free copper core cable.
It's not that people don't choose a combination of platinum and gold, but rather that they do.
After signing the papers and completing the application, Xing Baohua and Lin Daorong chatted about audio equipment.
The sales of audio equipment manufacturers are quite good now, and most of the orders they get from channel distributors are for home-level customization.
Sales of products intended for cinemas and concerts are relatively low.
A while ago, a headhunter brought in an acoustics expert from Europe. Sure enough, the expert from outside the company was more effective. After listening to the dozen or so speakers he had built, he said they weren't good enough; the sound quality still had a lot of noise.
After further discussion, it turned out to be a problem with the speaker cable.
It also points out the different uses of speaker wires and audio cables, and what grade of material the wires should be.
Speaker cables transmit power from a high-power amplifier to the speakers, so high-quality metal is essential. Furthermore, precious metals offer strong interference resistance, eliminating the need for shielding. Conversely, audio cables, which transmit low-power signals from the source to the amplifier, offer less resistance to interference and therefore require shielding.
Xing Baohua then asked Lin Daorong and his team to procure several high-end audio systems, saying they wanted to make another splash at the Canton Fair and deliver a stunning audio experience to let them hear the difference.
With such high-quality materials, such a reputable brand, and such excellent sound, it wouldn't be right for it not to sell for hundreds of thousands of US dollars!
Let's have another king of speakers, priced at $990,000, one of a kind in the world.
It doesn't matter if they don't sell; consider it advertising. A special reminder: it's a Rice brand VFC speaker, the world's top-of-the-line audio system, priced at $990,000.
This will likely pique the curiosity of many audiophiles: what kind of sound quality justifies that price range?
A seven-channel speaker system, plus the smart system and silver cables, would take more than ten meters.
The value of the light material is around tens of thousands of US dollars, after all, it is specially made.
Of course, there are also speakers for Sony's audio-visual products. Many speakers need to be tuned to improve the sound quality so that they can compete with others.
Therefore, the only solution is to break in the speakers at the factory to achieve a smooth and beautiful sound quality.
This thing is like a car; it needs to be broken in.
Many manufacturers, in order to achieve mass production, simply weld the modulated speakers onto the assembly line.
There was no break-in period; consumers need to cook it themselves.
Those who know how to use it can enjoy various burn-in programs, while those who don't can just start listening directly.
As for whether the sound quality is good or not, you probably won't be able to tell by experience.
Whether it's a tape recorder, a radio, or even a Walkman, Xing Baohua has the audio equipment factory burn them in, since they're all samples anyway.
These are all for the distributors to hear. When it comes to actually increasing sales volume, who cares about maintaining quality unless they pay extra?
Adding more money makes no sense. If the price goes up, the quality also goes up, so how can it compete with brands of the same level?
After discussing numerous matters with Lin Daorong, Xing Baohua began preparations for the Canton Fair.
This time, we need to go to the exhibition hall in advance. The design and decoration in all aspects are better than before, showing a high-end feel.
When arranging the samples, Wei Laisong called Xing Baohua to discuss whether to bring over the sports cars from the car factory. If someone ordered a hundred or so, the sales volume in Luzhong would skyrocket!
“Sports cars are a niche market after all. Don’t be fooled by their high price; they cater to a different demographic. My suggestion is to consider two other models and see if we can expedite production of two more. We’re a bit pressed for time,” Xing Baohua said to Wei Laisong.
"Okay, only rice dares to sell futures, the kind where you have to pay a full deposit upfront. Just tell the car manufacturers what they need, and I'll arrange the resources," Wei Laisong said with a hearty laugh. How could he not laugh? Rice's return to the Canton Fair—this is a real boost for Shandong!
However, there isn't much time left for the Canton Fair, and it's uncertain whether Xing Baohua will be able to produce a car sample.
If Luzhong Automobile Factory's cars can shine at the Canton Fair, Wei Laisong will feel like the most dazzling guy in the family as reports from all sides spread.
It's a pity this guy never saw the model Xing Baohua was going to push, otherwise he would definitely have been on the ground.
In this world, sedans are the mainstream, so why bother with those impractical cars?
A pickup truck is so much better for hauling cargo; why make it like a big truck? Two people have to carry a ladder just to put something in the back, and it looks exhausting.
And that RV—how many times a year do you go on trips? You can't exactly live in an RV. It looks nice, but frankly, it's not practical at all. I guess it'll be a novelty for a while, and then you'll have to sell it!
What he didn't know was that Xing Baohua also wanted to board the official train, and if he was going to board, he wanted the best one. Would this guy go to such lengths to avoid damaging the brand?
After finishing his work at the rice plantation and arranging numerous tasks, Xing Baohua went to the car factory to urge them to speed up production.
Making the oil mold is quick, but shaping it according to the oil mold takes more effort.
Many exterior parts don't have molds, so to create those streamlined lines and curves, they can only be made by hand.
Fortunately, I had previous experience in handcrafting sports cars.
They had many masters lead a group of apprentices, working in sections. The modeling alone involved more than twenty people, with one or two engineers leading a group of young people, directing the work on the clay.
After finishing the clay, we sculpted it, wrote down the data, and measured the data with a soft ruler.
Both domestic and international technicians were on the job, leaving the FAW staff somewhat dumbfounded and even a little envious.
