Chapter 236 The First VCD

Tang Yu didn't go to school the next day. There have been a lot of things to do recently. Even if he is about to take the midterm exam, Tang Yu can't get rid of it. Naturally, he can't take care of school affairs, but he doesn't care much about those things very much. He has had a learning experience in his previous life, and those things are dispensable for him. Going to school is just looking back on some things in the previous life.

He came to Red Star early, called Wu Chenggui, and asked him about the market research report and the price list of various fabrics. Tang Yu glanced briefly and nodded.

Tang Yu can naturally see that there are many traces of Liu Meng in this investigation report. The prices of various fabrics on it are very similar, but they are not cheap. If you buy fabrics according to the market price, even if you make clothes, even if they can sell them, the profit is very small. If you remove the wages and other expenses of workers, even zero profit. Run, this situation made Tang Yu frown.

It seems that I really want to find a good purchase channel. I don't know how many middlemen have stripped the fabrics sold outside. It's impossible to be cheap. Speaking of which, these buyers may be the most corrupt group of people in the company. There are naturally countless places where they can reach out, and they can't prevent it. However, some things still need to have a degree. Although the water is clear, there is no fish, but he is not a fool. After this degree, Tang Yu naturally can't accept it. It is.

He waved his hand to Wu Chenggui out. At the same time, he asked him to call Accountant Liu over and asked about the salary payment of the workers. He learned that the salary table had been made yesterday, and the previously owed wages can be paid today.

Tang Yu nodded and asked him to implement this matter as soon as possible, and then let him go out. After the salary is paid, the employee's mood will definitely ease. Some time ago, although Tang Yu promised that they would pay them their salary as soon as possible, if the money did not arrive, there would be a trace of uneasiness in everyone's heart.

After Accountant Xu went out, Tang Yu picked up the phone and called Fang Jianming. After meeting Fang Zhuoqun on Sunday, Tang Yu had an idea in his mind, but he was embarrassed to bring it up when he was drinking that day. The first time he met him, he asked for help, which would more or less give people a feeling of gratitude.

Fang Zhuoqun is the deputy director of the General Administration of Customs. He has a wide range of communication. I'm afraid that few people will have more extensive procurement channels for some raw materials than him. Tang Yu asked him if he could help him build a bridge and introduce a batch of foreign high-quality fabrics. Through him, he can not only save a lot of intermediate fees. The most important thing is that Fang Zhuoqun has channels to buy foreign high-quality fabrics, which is very helpful for Red Star to open up the market and develop the market.

"Hey, Brother Fang, what are you busy with?" Tang Yu greeted him with a smile.

"What else can I do? I'm running a private club. Tell me, brother, what's the matter with you?

Tang Yu smiled and said, "Brother Fang, I heard that my uncle was from the General Administration of Customs the other day. Please help me ask him if you can contact me. I want to introduce a batch of cloth." Tang Yu said truthfully.

"Fabric? Brother, why did you introduce that thing? You don't want to enter the clothing industry, do you? The future of the clothing industry is not very clear now. Fang Jianming was surprised and asked, but he didn't say anything to refuse.

"Ha ha, I really guessed it. Brother, I really bought a clothing factory. Well, I'm worried about the fabric. The price on the market is not too high, and I don't have a good channel. It just so happens that when I met my uncle a few days ago, I learned about my uncle. Working in customs is like asking my uncle to see if he can help. Tang Yu said with a smile that he intended to make this clothing factory bigger.

"Well, no problem. I'll call my father in a moment. Don't worry, brother, your business is my business. There is basically no problem with this matter." Fang Jianming agreed without hesitation. With the power of the fourth deputy director of Fang Zhuoqun Customs, this matter is simply a small dish, just a matter of his words. With his connections, these things are convenient and tight, and there are many ways.

"Then please, Brother Fang. When it's OK, I'll invite Brother Fang and his uncle for a drink." After a greeting, Tang Yu put down the phone.

The fabric thing can be said to be settled, and Tang Yu was relieved. This matter did not have to be solved through the Fang family. With Tang Yu's connections, whether it is through Su Muru or Shen Ruihong, it is just a matter of one sentence, even a matter of their secretary. However, since it has passed the Fang family, Tang Yu naturally has his intention. It's better to walk more about connections. If you don't move, the relationship will be far away. He can also strike while the iron is hot. Otherwise, the fabric of a small clothing factory needs to be troublesome to go to the customs. Probably Fang Zhuoqun also understands that the two of them are tacit.

When they went out, they called Yang Hanning in the accounting room next to them, and the two drove to the talent market.

There are many classic clothing styles in Tang Yu's mind, but without the help of a professional, it is difficult for Tang Yu to put the clothing styles in his mind into the drawings.

And Tang Yu knows that an excellent clothing factory may develop into a clothing group in the future. The prerequisite is to have its own development and design team to make clothing, focusing on design and fame.

Tang Yu remembers that "Li Ning" built China's first sportswear and shoe design and research and development center in Foshan, Guangzhou in 1998, which laid the foundation for Li Ning to become a world brand.

Tang Yu doesn't expect his clothing factory to catch up with Li Ning, but he also hopes that his factory has its own R&D and design capabilities.

............

The talent market is as full of people as before, but most of them are looking for hard work, and there are even many masons and porters looking for some odd jobs here.

Tang Yu spent more than 100 yuan to make an advertisement on the announcement of the talent market. At the same time, he left Yang Hanning's mobile phone behind and came back. He didn't want to wait in the talent market like a rabbit. If he is lucky, he may have a suitable candidate in ten or twenty minutes. If he is unlucky, he will wait. One day, I'm afraid there is no suitable one. It seems that those who wait for the rabbit are not willing to take the bait.

On the way back to Red Star, Tang Yu received a phone call from his second uncle Tang Tianhao to tell Tang Yu that the situation of sewing equipment was already a little clear. There is a sewing equipment factory in Shenzhen that is willing to provide sewing equipment at a 15% discount of the market price, but they require them to order at least 100 units, otherwise they can enjoy it. Less than 15% off.

Tang Yu frowned slightly. One hundred sewing equipment is indeed a little overloaded for the current Red Star. Red Star also has more than 100 employees, including loading and unloading, warehouse management, secretarial and other personnel. There are less than 80 real sewing employees. If you enter After buying these 100 sewing equipment, I'm afraid I have to recruit some new workers, which is another superfluous expense.

But let's postpone this kind of thing. I don't think about these things for the time being.

In the afternoon, Tang Yu went to Bailing Research Office. No, it should be called Vico Research Institute now. After Tang Yu's registered Vico Company, which can be said to be a leather bag so far, transferred the VCD project to Vico's name, Bailing Research Office has been renamed Vic Research Institute by Tang Yu.

Jiang Wanshi was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Tang Yu. Looking at Jiang Wanshi's smiling face, Tang Yu knew that VCD research had made progress again. Jiang Wanshi's face was a barometer of VCD progress.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Wanshi saw Tang Yu, he took Tang Yu to a pile of components like some electronic device. At the same time, he told Tang Yu that this is the prototype they developed. This is only the initial form. As long as the case is made and assembled together, it will become the first VCD.

With that, they took out a CD that they burned themselves and stuffed it into a tray on the stack of components. I didn't know which key to press. The TV next to it suddenly lit up, but there was a black screen for a moment. Just when Tang Yu thought there was something wrong, Jiang Wanshi next to him said that it was a normal question. Question, VCD needs to be buffered for a period of time.

Sure enough, after waiting for nearly half a minute, a picture appeared on the TV, which was exactly the advertisement made by Li Xiaobing for Bailing TV.

The impact is quite clear, and the sound is smooth, but the screen of the TV occasionally flashes. It seems that this machine is not very stable, and we still need to continue to work hard.

Tang Yu looked at the occasional flashing picture on the TV and had no expression. "Debug this first machine as soon as possible and assemble it into a machine. I want to take it to participate in the French International Electronics Exhibition next month. At the same time, you will also invest in the next stage of development as soon as possible to improve the shortcomings of the first generation of machine. I don't want to put it into the market. Let's wait for the second-generation machine to come out. After a few more instructions, Tang Yu left.

In his previous life, after Jiang Wanshi developed the first generation of VCD, due to the immaturity of some technologies and the unstable system, the market was very small. It was not until Jiang Wanshi's second-generation machine developed on the basis of the first-generation machine was put into the market that it set off a hit in the VCD market, and at the same time, it also achieved several electronic enterprises, Song After getting the VCD, Philips and other foreign enterprises have developed their own brands at a very low cost to get a piece of cake in the huge market of VCD.

Wednesday, October 20, the first day of the midterm exam.

The midterm exam is divided into two days. In these two days, Tang Yu did not overturn off the class and honestly carried out the midterm exam. Although he has not paid much attention to this thing in this life and does not think it is unimportant, his mother is a very traditional person. Maybe his father is gradually accepting his change, mom But it may not be able to accept it. What should be learned still needs to be learned. If he takes a big duck egg exam, his mother won't beat him to death. Tang Tianhong is also dishonest.

It is said that although Tang Yu was absent from class in the past two days and did not have a mid-term review, after all, he learned all these in his previous life when he was in high school. Although his memory has faded after so many years, he can still vaguely remember something. In his imagination, these things are enough to cope with this time. After the exam, at least it won't make his ranking too low. By the way, in his previous life, he was very good at dealing with the exam. Even if he has been born in the past so many years, it should not be a problem to deal with the past. In his previous life, he always adhered to the concept of learning from the old age. Although he has always learned career-related things after entering his career...
