408 [Repeater]

Chen Fuxing was at the forefront and pointed to a piece of land under construction and said: "The area of ​​Changyang Valley High-tech Park was directly doubled last year, and several supporting enterprises were moved in. The district allocated 30 acres of land to build a factory. Now the total area of ​​Shenzhou Technology Company has exceeded 50 acres."

"It's still too small, at least 300 acres is barely enough." Song Weiyang said.

Chen Fuxing smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how suburbs of Yangpu are, they are still in the sea. Where can I get 300 acres of land? The current 50 acres of land is also approved by the district leaders because Shenzhou Technology is a leading enterprise in Changyang Valley.

Song Weiyang said: "It really doesn't work. I can only build a branch in northern Jiangsu in the future."

"I think this too, too." Chen Fuxing nodded.

Since the early 1990s, due to the continuous increase in land prices and wages in Shenghai, many factories in Shenghai have moved to northern Jiangsu. Also, because most areas of northern Jiangsu were not connected to railways at that time, with the cooperation and linkage of the government and enterprises, northern Jiangsu quickly had the most developed expressway network in the country. By 1999, the expressways connected almost all counties in northern Jiangsu and were connected to Shenghai and southern Jiangsu through highway bridges.

Song Weiyang followed Chen Fuxing around the Science and Technology Park, and looked at the factory that had been built or was still under construction, and felt more or less proud.

Changyang Valley, another time and space, had a total planned area of ​​only 80 acres even in 2014. I was embarrassed to call it the "High-tech Park" that was just beginning, and changed the name to "Creative Park" halfway through, and all the cultural, creative, design services and Internet content companies were settled in.

Now he was directly led by Song Weiyang to go astray. The total planned area has exceeded 200 mu, and 80% of the area is used to build factories. Many nearby residents have been demolished and settled in Wujiaochang.

When we arrived at the production workshop of the repeater, Song Weiyang picked up a newly launched Shenzhou repeater. The technical person in charge introduced: "Our repeater uses Toshiba tc8831f voice chip..."

"The main components are Japanese goods, so we only do assembly?" Song Weiyang interrupted.

The technical person in charge said: "Voice chips really don't need to be developed by themselves. They are all technology from several years ago, and the market price is already very low. We can definitely develop them by investing funds, but they are time-consuming and laborious, and the cost is higher than buying Japanese goods directly. Of course, we are also engaged in technical research and development. The headquarters R&D center is preparing to improve Toshiba chips, and has achieved laboratory results."

Now Shenzhou Technology has two R&D centers, one is in Shenghai headquarters, with R&D personnel from various universities in Shenghai and the other is in Beijing, with R&D personnel from various universities in Beijing.

The technical research and development of repeater machines is the headquarters doing it.

Song Weiyang asked: "What achievements?"

The technical person in charge said: "Toshiba tc8831f voice chip is a fast digital-to-analog integrated circuit with low cost and high performance. It only requires a small number of devices such as Dram, MCU and audio amplifier circuit at the output terminal to realize a typical recording and playback system. Just like telephone recording and message, many companies use this chip. The tc8831f chip can connect up to 4 4m*1bit dram as voice storage medium, and under laboratory conditions, it can record sound for about 512 seconds. Now, the replicators on the market have no more than 300 seconds to record, and some even only 20 seconds."

"Why is the recording time so short?" Song Weiyang asked.

"The selected supporting components are different, and the circuit design of the repeater is also different. The shorter the recording time, the lower the manufacturing cost of the repeater will be." said the technical person in charge.

Song Weiyang said: "Then how many seconds can our repeater recorder be recorded?"

The technical director said: "Two models have been launched temporarily, one is 120 seconds in recording time and the other is 500 seconds. Our headquarters laboratory is improving the existing repeater circuit to expand the Dram interface capability of Toshiba chips to 4 pieces of 16m*1bit at a very small hardware cost and control software modifications."

"How much is the recording time after improvement?" Song Weiyang asked.

"Half an hour." said the technical director.

"How many?" Song Weiyang thought he had heard it wrong. He said how many seconds he had said before, but now he was directly in hours.

The technical person in charge laughed and said, "Of course, this is just laboratory data, and it won't take that long to record the replicator."

Song Weiyang asked: "What about the manufacturing cost?"

The technical person in charge said: "The cost has only been increased by about 0.5 times, mainly because the use of Dram is quite expensive. In fact, if a relatively satisfactory 16kbps digital signal transmission rate is used, the recording time of this circuit can reach 70 minutes, but the cost will become extremely expensive."

Song Weiyang praised: "Yes, the employees of the R&D center at the headquarters are very good."

The technical person in charge laughed and said, "In fact, it can be viewed in the opposite direction. If the recording time is not required to be extended, the external memory can be reduced from 4 pieces to 1 piece, which not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also reduces power consumption, extends battery life, and reduces the PCB area and circuit board volume. Our repeater can achieve lower price, lower power consumption, smaller volume and lighter weight."

Song Weiyang nodded and said to Shen Fuxing: "R&D personnel should give rewards."

Shen Fuxing said: "When this improvement can be mass-produced, I will immediately reward the R&D team."

Song Weiyang asked: "What brands of repeaters are there on the market now?"

Shen Fuxing said: "There are only two brands, one is the magical parrot and the other is Sheng Hai Yonghua. However, the Ministry of Education has issued a document to pay attention to students' English speaking and listening. I estimate that many manufacturers will build repeaters this year."

More than just a lot, they bloom everywhere!

Wanxin, Smart, BBK, Yonghua, Baoan, Xiaobawang... Even Tsinghua Unisex, which makes scanners, and TCLs, which make TVs, all came to get a share, which shows how great the market potential of repeaters is.

In a few years, small garbage factories can also produce repeaters, just like vegetable sellers trading stocks, which will directly collapse the industry.

Fortunately, Song Weiyang was foresighted and entered the market before a large number of manufacturers.

Currently, the recording time of the two repeater brands on the market is only a few dozen seconds, and the recording time of the Yonghua repeater is only 120 seconds, and it is also sold at a priceless price. The Shenzhou repeater will definitely be able to overcome these two competitors.

Back at the company's administrative building, Shen Si has completed the handover procedures and contacted Xifeng Company and the assistant chairman of Taurus Capital to officially take up his post!

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, you are from southern Hunan. Today I will treat you to authentic Hunan cuisine!"

"That..." Chen Si pointed at the acne on his face and said weakly, "Boss, can you change the cooking system?"

"Hahaha," Song Weiyang smiled with a bad taste, "Then I won't make things difficult for you, just have a meal in the cafeteria of the factory."

Chen Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this boss would not be able to serve him. Amitabha Buddha, God bless him, it seems that he can handle it at present.
Chapter completed!
