Chapter 521: Did Gang Master Qiao also do it?
Nowadays, it is not difficult to make an MP3, and it is not easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is not easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is not easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to say it is
The key is to find suppliers and OEMs, and the production volume cannot be too low.
If the output cannot be increased, neither supplier nor OEM will pay attention to you.
After all, Lu Ze is not the great leader of the Qiao Gang. He does not have Apple, he is just an unknown person and can't sell his fame even if he wants to sell it.
Unlike Apple, if you do a project, countless OEMs and suppliers will automatically come to you, and they will offer their most advanced and most valuable technologies and products.
Nowadays, the domestic electronics industry has only developed for a while. Even Juhua Brand or a certain person does not have the ability to produce core components at this time, and everything depends on imports.
Fortunately, the electronics industry is relatively mature, and as long as you are willing to spend money, suppliers can always provide products.
Even if it is not the most advanced spare parts, it is enough to make MP3.
After all, compared to desktops and laptops, MP3 Walkman is really too basic.
Except for the rarest audio decoding chips, other spare parts are not even as complicated as a CD machine.
This is why, in a few years, hardware enthusiasts can buy some spare parts online and assemble an MP3 walkman at home.
But it is much more difficult for users to assemble a CD player by themselves.
Therefore, Lu Ze is still very confident about imitating the classic "Iron Triangle" series of Ellie in his previous life.
Especially after investing in Luxshare, which has invested in Wang Laichun, Lu Ze is even more confident.
Speaking of investment, Wang Chunlai and his sister are quite interesting. The main body that plans to sign the contract is Quansheng Electronics Factory.
Luxshare is just a short company they bought in Xiangjiang to take on international orders.
After all, if you have a name for Xiangjiang, it is easier to fool the customer's book, and it is much more credible than Quansheng Electronics Factory.
At Lu Ze's suggestion, a company was re-registered, and its name was Luxshare Precision.
Wang Laichun and his sister hold 51% of the shares through Xiangjiang Luxshare, while Lu Ze holds 49% of the shares through Singularity Fund.
The original Quansheng Electronics Factory was integrated into Luxshare Precision Company.
In the future, we will use Luxshare Precision to operate it.
This is just a small episode, but for Lu Ze, it solved the biggest hidden danger.
Because he not only gave Wang Laichun the USB interface and connector-related accessories business, he also asked her to set up an assembly workshop to carry out the last assembly and packaging process of the overall MP3 product.
This is equivalent to all spare parts being shipped to Luxshare Precision where the final assembly is performed.
This made Wang Laichun very excited. Her biggest dream, the production manager who came out of Foxconn, was to build a company like Foxconn.
The assembly of MP3 has taken this dream a big step forward.
Moreover, her only worry was that the operating capital was insufficient, which disappeared under Lu Ze's guarantee.
Isn’t enough money? Is this kind of thing a big deal for Lu Ze?
At worst, you can allocate some money to Luxshare Precision Company for a while. If you make money, you can pay it back.
According to Lu Ze's expectations, he should not be able to use this backup plan.
Wang Laichun is responsible for the production, and he is very relieved. Next, he will devote himself to the overall operation of MP3.
Making hardware is not just about producing the product.
Brand packaging, marketing, sales channels, after-sales service, all of this requires planning and layout in advance.
Especially the MP3 product, unlike Lu Ze's other businesses, the market is no longer limited to China, and the sales routine is completely different from other businesses.
Hardware, this is a field that Lu Ze has never been exposed to.
Not only strange, but also very traditional.
Before e-commerce businesses in countries around the world fully emerged, it was very difficult to make a try to do sales.
Even if Lu Zexueqiao gang leader holds a new product launch conference, how many people can he summon?
After all, he does not have the influence of Apple and cannot attract the attention of technology companies from all over the world. It is difficult to attract the 3C product dealers from all over the country to pay attention to this press conference.
This matter has to be discussed for a long time. It is best to find relevant professional talents and provide advice together.
On the flight, Lu Ze couldn't rest quietly, and he was always worried about this matter.
He couldn't help but envy Rebs. When people wanted to make hardware, all kinds of related talents took the initiative to invest. However, he has always been a bare commander.
The only talent that the company can show off is Zhang Xuing, the big housekeeper CFO.
The flight landed successfully at Hongqiao Airport, and Lu Ze also returned to the Magic City smoothly. He had no intention of going home to rest and went directly to the company.
As soon as he arrived at the office, assistant Xu Li came to report on his work.
This time I went to Pengcheng, I just inspected the suppliers, and there was nothing important, so I didn’t take Xu Li there.
Let him stay in the company and be responsible for the docking and reporting work.
"Mr. Lu, the New York branch of [Singularity Fund] sent an email.
It was their work report last week and some investment projects screened by the venture capital department.” Xu Li introduced the relevant details item by item.
Lu Ze took the document and flipped it out casually.
Because of the previous instructions for conservative operations, the traders of [Singularity Fund] are very cautious in shorting.
However, after Lu Ze returned to this period, they also generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
Although not too much, it is very responsible.
Just as Lu Ze turned to the last few pages, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The last few pages record some new entrepreneurial projects recently collected by the venture capital department, which is also one of the department's daily tasks.
Although it is the cold winter of the Internet and despite the fall of US stocks, countless entrepreneurs are still happy to enter this field.
So the venture capital department will call in for some entrepreneurs every week to see their new projects.
This is also the job that Lu Ze specifically ordered.
In the cold winter of the Internet, it does not mean there are no good projects. For example, the professional social networking website LinkedIn (LinkedIn), was it established during the cold winter of the Internet.
Moreover, due to the economic downturn, the IT industry has laid off major employees, and many unemployed IT elites will also seek their own way out.
Many of them will use technology to make some interesting small products.
These products may not look very impressive at first, but who knows when it will come in handy.
After all, products may be out of date, but good technology and inventions are always valuable.
Now [Singularity Fund] not only has established branches in New York, but also has offices in Silicon Valley, which are responsible for collecting projects.
Because of this, the venture capital department of [Singularity Fund] sends new projects to Lu Ze every week and attaches evaluation opinions.
In the end, whether to invest or not, the decision is on Lu Ze's side.
I originally thought it would take some time before the venture capital department would achieve success, but I didn't expect Peter Madison to surprise him so quickly.
Looking at the project on the last page of the report, Lu Ze was extremely surprised.
Casady & Greene Software Company, an unknown IT company, is not a startup company and has been established for a while.
However, due to the bursting of the US Internet bubble, the company encountered difficulties in its operation and was seeking financing.
Somehow, I found the [Singularity Fund] on my head.
It would be fine if it was just Casady & Greene software company, but the music software called "SoundJam MP" in this company is very important.
Because "SoundJam MP" is the predecessor of iTunes, the software that makes Apple profitable.
Lu Ze couldn't believe it, is there such a coincidence in this world?
Is the butterfly effect he has reborn for once, so magical?
What a good guy! I really don't dare to think about it.
I just forgot Hu, who invested in Luxshare Precision, but now I have sent iTunes to him.
Could it be that God has arranged this and really wanted him to kill Gang Qiao?
