Chapter 201 Ambition and courage

Flash memory is divided into nor type and nand type, and there is a big difference between them.

The nor-type flash memory is more like a memory, with independent address lines and data lines, but it is more expensive and has a smaller capacity; while the nand-type flash memory is more like a hard disk. The address lines and data lines are shared I/O lines, similar to all the information of the hard disk.

They are all transmitted through a hard disk cable, and compared with NAND type flash memory, the cost is lower and the capacity is much larger.

Mobile phones are the largest users of NOR flash memory, accounting for more than 60% of NOR memory. Therefore, the "memory" capacity of mobile phones is usually not large; NAND flash memory is mainly used to store data, such as flash disks and digital memory cards.

type flash memory.

Now the world's four major flash memory manufacturers mainly focus on NAND flash memory, supplemented by NAND. The profit of NAND flash memory is also higher, which is why NAND flash memory sales are limited. Today's main NAND flash memory applications are "USB disks"

Market-oriented, but the motherboard does not support it, which is also the reason why "USB disk" cannot be popularized.

In the first half of 2001, global sales of 32m flash memory were 1.028 million pieces, and 64m flash memory sales were 1.227 million pieces. Lin Feng's mp3 players mainly use these two flash memory specifications. Those below 32m (such as 16m) can store too many songs.

Less than 64m (128m), the price is too expensive now and is not suitable for China's national conditions.

Only with an order of one million pieces can the price of flash memory chips drop significantly. Based on what Tan Zhi said, if the price dropped by half, one million 32m chips would require at least 70 million in funds, but in fact it is more than that.

Calculated based on the 32m flash memory capacity, an MP3 has an average capacity of 4m, and the 32m flash memory can only store 8 songs, which is too few songs for consumers. The 64m flash memory can store 16 songs, which is basically enough. Therefore

I am afraid that 64m flash memory chips will account for half of the proportion. In this way, 64m flash memory chips will also need to place an order of one million, and these two orders alone will require about 200 million in funds.

The registered capital of 100 million is simply not enough and investment must be increased.

Lin Feng did the math. Although he now has 1.08 billion in liquidity, he has to repay the 100 million loan from Chu City Bank that is about to expire, and he still has 4.3 million US dollars to purchase 4% of Baidu shares from idg venture capital fund (approximately 34.8 million yuan).

, invested 5 million in 3721 Technology Co., Ltd., and spent 70 million on 12.5% ​​of Baidu's shares. It is about to acquire 24.78% from DFJ Venture Capital Fund, estimated at 200 million, and previously invested 100 million in Lin's Technology Co., Ltd.

Calculating this carefully, I only have more than 570 million in disposable liquidity for turnover. Although it is not impossible to continue to invest an additional 100 million in MP3 players, the question is whether it is worth it.

The future flash memory market will certainly have great prospects, but Lin Feng knows better that the price of the flash memory market will also drop like an avalanche as the types of flash memory applications increase. In my memory, the flash memory market price will drop sharply after half a year. Now invest 200 million, and exchange it for half a year.

Time, is it worth it?

Lin Feng was caught up in thinking about the company's prospects. Tan Zhi stood aside without saying a word, not disturbing Lin Feng's thinking. In fact, this time was also a test for Lin Feng by Tan Zhi. It tested whether Lin Feng had the talent to work for him.

The ambition to work hard, or ambition. Tan Zhi is by no means a person who is willing to be ordinary. He longs for big events and stands on the world stage. Therefore, he needs a boss who is also unwilling to be ordinary and even extremely ambitious and courageous.

.

If we follow the normal procedure, order 32-50,000 pieces of 32m and 64m flash memory chips, and then continue to place orders based on market sales. But in this way, we will inevitably not be able to reduce costs, and there is no way to even think about MP3 players under 300 yuan.

But if the price is high, the sales volume will definitely be poor given the current consumption power of the domestic market. In this case, why not take a big gamble.

One million orders is indeed a large number. It has already tied the global sales in the first half of 2001. For a company to swallow such a large number of goods is a miracle now, but the future prospects of the flash memory market are definitely foreseeable.

.And Tan Zhi also has a plan, which can ensure that the company does not lose a penny, and even makes a huge profit.

However, Tan Zhi did not tell Lin Feng this plan in advance. He wanted to test whether Lin Feng had the ambition and courage. If so, Tan Zhi decided to sell his life to Lin Feng to help him turn the company into a company that produces MP3 players.

He will wait for a company focusing on electronic products to become a world-renowned electronic technology company. If not, he will be ready to leave as soon as possible.

This is just a simple two-way choice!

But what makes Tan Zhi happy is that Lin Feng did not disappoint him.

"Isn't it just an order of two million? I think I can still afford it, and I have confidence in you." Lin Feng has already understood that with an order of two million, he can lower the price of MP3 players and seize the Chinese MP3 player market.

Market. Of course, it is impossible to sell 2 million units, but it will definitely create a good reputation for the company, which money cannot buy.

At worst, the loss is 200 million, which I can still afford to lose, not to mention it is only a temporary loss. If one company can dominate the mp3 player market, the future profits will be far more than this 200 million.

"Haha, Director Lin, this is a plan I made for the order of two million flash memory chips. I named it 'Tiangou'." Tan Zhi handed Lin Feng a plan.

Lin Feng opened the plan and was immediately attracted by the plans in the plan.

This business plan has only one theme - integration. It would be too uncomfortable for Lin Feng's company to swallow two million orders. Tan Zhi is planning to adopt a "divide and eat" strategy to make domestic and even Asian flash memory companies

If we share it evenly, then Lin Feng's company will be under much less pressure, and at the same time it can open up the "USB disk" market. To achieve this goal, we must "build momentum." This is what Tan Zhi said before, and I'm afraid it will offend some people.

People will also eliminate some companies that are not strong enough. As the chairman of the company, Lin Feng will definitely be criticized later.

"Okay, I will implement it according to your plan. I will pursue another 100 million investment. If it is not enough, I will add another 100 million." Lin Feng closed the project and encouraged Tan Zhi.

Tan Zhi sighed helplessly after hearing this. He used to work at 8848 Technology Co., Ltd. Since 8848's financial situation has been poor, all expenses were calculated and calculated again, and every penny had to be saved and saved. But Lin Feng did not care about 2

Taking it seriously is really exciting.

It's so damn good to have money! - Tan Zhi muttered to himself, but he was also secretly glad that he found the right boss this time.

"No need, 200 million is enough." Tan Zhi said with confidence. After all, his plan was successful and he only needed the initial 200 million yuan to place an order.

"Dr. Lin, as for the decoder chip, there are currently two products with better sound quality: Philips and Samsung, and there are many worse ones. But since Director Lin is pursuing a high-quality strategy, I wonder which one Director Lin will choose?" Tan Zhi asked about these two options.

Both are acceptable, and the market response to both decoding chips is good.

"Philips, I personally hate Samsung." Lin Feng said. The reason why he hates Samsung is that Samsung's products are always more expensive than other manufacturers, and the quality is not that good. Of course, this is just Lin Feng's personal opinion.

.But now that you have the right to decide, why not follow your personal preferences?

After settling this matter, Tan Zhi left. He began to contact flash memory chip manufacturers and decoding chip manufacturers. At the same time, he was planning to build a factory and implement his "Sky Hook" plan. He shook his head, he will be very busy at the end of this year.

But thinking about his plan, Tan Zhi became excited again.

Shortly after Tan Zhi left, Lin Feng received another call from Baidu President Robin Li. The content was still the same, urging Lin Feng to complete the transaction as soon as possible. Lin Feng still nodded and promised to transfer the money as soon as possible to complete the transaction, allowing Li Yanhong to wait with peace of mind. To Lin Feng

The answer is that Robin Li remains silent. Now he can only hope that Lin Feng can abide by the agreement. Otherwise, he will have to sell his Baidu shares at a low price in exchange for funds, but this is not what Robin Li wants.

Zhang Fan, President of DFJ China, was still waiting, but when he learned that Lin Feng, Li Zhiyou and others had gone to South Korea, his defense finally collapsed. He hurriedly called Lin Feng. However, he didn't get through until Lin Feng got off the plane.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm in South Korea now. As for the deal, if I'm still interested after returning to China, I'll definitely call Mr. Zhang." Lin Feng deliberately showed off Zhang Fan. At first, he insisted on 300 million and wouldn't let go. Now

It's time to entertain him by yourself.

Zhang Fan hung up the phone with a look of helplessness. Before the call, he had expected that Lin Feng would not be nice to talk to. Fortunately, the sarcasm did not embarrass him too much and made Zhang Fan feel a little better.

After arriving in South Korea, Lin Zhihui and Huang Meixi went home respectively. In one year in China, they also earned several million yuan. Now that they are back, it is a return to their hometown in glory. Naturally, they have many relatives and friends to deal with. Before Li Zhiyou found his father's whereabouts,

I didn’t stay in Seoul for too long, and went directly to Jeju Island with Lin Feng, the most popular holiday destination in South Korea.

As Lin Feng guessed, Park Quan-ho was really fishing on the beach. However, we haven't seen him for a year. Park Quan-ho is much more energetic than before. It is probably that the year of fishing has cultivated his sentiment. When he saw the person who took away his company, he didn't have much reaction.

.

"Director Lin is here, sit down!" Park Guanhao pointed to the small bench next to him.

"Haha, it seems that you knew I was coming, Cui Mingze told you?" Lin Feng sat down happily. Li Zhiyou knew that the two of them wanted to talk, so he obediently ran to the beach to pick up shells, enjoying himself without disturbing him.

Two people talking.

"Director Lin, you are so lucky!" Park Guanhao did not answer Lin Feng's words, but sighed.

Lin Feng smiled, knowing that Park Guanhao was referring to Li Zhiyou. Li Zhiyou was not only beautiful, but also a good cook, and he was also extremely well-behaved. He was indeed his blessing.
