Xing Baohua nodded and said, "Two large workshops will be launched this year. One is a workshop for portable music players and repeaters, and the other is a workshop for wireless power amplifier systems. Although they are called workshops, they are almost like factories."
“Right now we have fewer products and fewer staff, so we can manage things centrally. We’ll definitely have to split up eventually, I estimate it will take about three to five years. Your task this year is to help me produce the Walkman and the language repeater that we’re about to develop,” Xing Baohua said.
"At the same time, um, if possible, could you help me bring over some technical personnel?"
Xing Baohua's words surprised Director Gong. If it were just him, it would be fine, but if he brought a team over, it would lead to the rapid decline of the Jinan Tape Recorder Factory.
This will get you scolded.
"Don't feel pressured about this. You can ask around and see if anyone wants to have a better future with you. Everyone wants a better life. This isn't a hellhole for me. Besides, you need some old subordinates to follow your lead, don't you?"
Factory Director Gong nodded in agreement.
There's no way to avoid poaching people; Xing Baohua is desperately short of manpower, especially skilled technicians.
These days, there's a shortage of people like that everywhere.
After seeing Director Gong off, Xing Baohua began to work on adjusting the mobile phone frequency band components. Previously, in order to save power, the base frequency, intermediate frequency, and radio frequency filtering were all integrated into one system.
Xing Baohua's equipment is now a two-in-one system, so it needs to be run in two separate systems.
The key issue is that Xing Baohua didn't enable automatic frequency switching to save power. This resulted in no signal being received at the main mail station.
After careful consideration, I decided to manually adjust the frequency in power-saving mode.
Anyway, three units have already been shipped out, some working and some not, and no feedback or suggestions have been given. I doubt they'll send Xing Baohua back to the factory for repairs.
Whether it's easy to use or not, it's already of great significance.
Xing Baohua also inadvertently set a trap, winning three first places.
The first pager in the country with a Chinese character reply system.
The first mobile phone in the country that could make calls.
The first mobile phone and call terminal in the country that can both make calls and reply to messages.
Although the technology is said to be based on motorcycles, they haven't even developed it yet, while we were the first to develop it.
They can even claim it as independently developed knowledge, because they've thoroughly researched it. Intellectual property issues can be addressed later.
In order to obtain a certificate, Xing Baohua had no choice but to possess extremely advanced skills.
This has led to equipment falling behind the technology.
The most important issue is the phone frame. I wanted to use aluminum alloy, but whether it's machine-made in one piece or cast, it has its shortcomings.
Xing Baohua recalled that Ericsson's early products used iron frames. It wasn't that they didn't care about costs; it was probably because their equipment couldn't keep up with the technology.
Thinking about it carefully, even an iron one would work! Anyway, at this time, who cares about weight? There's the precedent of a two-pound mobile phone, so a half-pound phone might be even more surprising.
Xing Baohua is making another batch of handheld call devices; is he planning to give them away?
Only when it is convenient for superiors to use can the construction of base stations be accelerated.
Xing Baohua is also considering pricing.
Pagers sell for over ten thousand yuan, and back then, even a basic mobile phone cost nearly twenty thousand yuan. So, this all-in-one device must be worth thirty thousand yuan, right?
Suddenly I realize this is outrageous profiteering!
The factory price is set at 20,000. The rest depends on how the distributor handles it.
What a pity! Production capacity simply can't keep up. We'll have to reshoot the commercial.
We need to find a more novel idea.
The agents were unaware that Xing Baohua had a new pager with enhanced features. If they had known, they would probably have felt that their agency fees hadn't been wasted.
Look at the speed of this research and development. In the blink of an eye, the phone's functions were available.
that is……
Besides being good-looking and capable of hitting people, it has no signal, so what's the point of buying it!
Xing Baohua named the pager model "Dami No. 2". The combined handheld and pager device was named "Dami S1".
These needed to be redesigned, and Guo Kai, the factory's only chief designer, received orders from Xing Baohua to begin preparing the graphic design for the promotional materials.
Fortunately, the child is progressing quickly and is starting to use his brain. It's as if he's suddenly enlightened and has adapted to Xing Baohua's way of thinking and rhythm.
The product needs to be aesthetically pleasing and have a technological or industrial feel. It also needs a variety of colors, and overall, it should be thin, lightweight, and attractive.
As for graphic design, without computer processing, it can only be done by hand, which is quite difficult.
Even if it's difficult, you still have to design it! That's what he got into this business for. The factory is so successful now! The investment is huge! When he first came, he was a bit resentful, but now he's only thinking about keeping his job.
They're all smart people; needless to say, they know what they're doing.
The people Professor Cheng assigned are very capable. They've already been assigned to several project teams and started training workers.
This is where skilled workers are valuable. The educational machine production line has seven or eight people. The pager line has ten. Add to that the cordless phone project and a few more, and we can train even more people.
The next step is the Walkman project.
Xing Baohua counted on his fingers, thinking that there should be enough products to go to the Canton Fair.
