Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 3696 Chapter 3698 [Open the skylight and speak out]

Unlike Ouyang Xue, who is a layman watching the excitement, Xiang Nan, who is well versed in audio and craftsmanship, has to be much more careful in his inspection of this set of audio equipment.

He checked carefully, inch by inch, not missing any corner.

Feng Shijie and Ye Xiaoming couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw him looking at him so carefully, for fear of hearing him find fault.

In their view, although Xiang Nan is not a shareholder of the company and has not even contributed a penny, he is much scarier than the chairman Ouyang Xue.

“The edges and corners and interfaces are OK, and the color and fullness of the paint surface are also good, but the polishing is not ideal and uneven.” Xiang Nan finally said.

"The polishing machine is too big and the rotation speed is high. It is very dangerous for people to polish the speakers by holding them. If they are not careful, people will get involved, and the stability of the force is not good." Feng Shijie quickly explained, "I told Liu about this. The uncle and Zhiming both said that designing a bracket with tracks doesn’t cost a lot of money and is safe and stable.”

"This time we made two pairs of experimental speakers. As long as we have polished brackets, this problem will be solved. Fifteen pairs of materials were made for the exported speakers, and all possible problems were taken into account. This Brother Ding You can rest assured." Ye Xiaoming also said quickly.

 “Okay, open it and listen.” Xiang Nan nodded.

Ye Xiaoming turned on the stereo and played a record by one of the world's three greatest tenors.

Xiang Nan listened to low volume, medium volume and high volume respectively, and was quite satisfied with the sound quality.

 After all, he designed the speakers and cabinets. As long as the farmers build them according to his specifications, there shouldn't be any big problems.

“Brother Ding, this is the treasure of our company, please give it a name.” Seeing Xiang Nan finally nodded, Feng Shijie and Ye Xiaoming both breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile.

“What is the common practice in the audio industry?” Xiang Nan asked.

“They are all called flagship, No. 1, etc.,” Ye Xiaoming answered.

After all, he has opened a video store and has a rich reserve of knowledge in this area.

“Then do as the Romans do, and be called Metric Poetry No. 1.” Xiang Nan nodded.

 With his talent, he can give the speakers a nice name. For example, Volkswagen has different series, such as Jetta, Sagitar, Magotan, Passat and so on.

 But now that the Metrics Company has just been established, and its own brand has not yet been established, it hastily launched a new series, and the effect is not good. At present, the main focus should be on launching the "metrical poetry" brand. After the metrical poetry banner is launched, it is the best way to consider launching other series.

 Feng Shijie and Ye Xiaoming had no objection when they heard it.

 …

　　After watching the speakers, everyone came to the office. In the cold winter, there was only a coal stove the size of a bucket in the empty room, which was as cold as an ice cellar. Feng Shijie poured a glass of boiling water for everyone, not just to drink water, but to warm their hands.

Ye Xiaoming took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed it to Xiang Nan, saying, "Brother Ding, originally we said we would go see you in the evening. It's not a big deal. We just want to report to you about work matters. I want to ask you something I don't understand." ask.

The speakers apply for patent information. We have read a few of the company's articles of association. There are no opinions, all signed. I drew a few design sketches for the two trademarks of the speakers and cabinets. You decide on the pattern, label grade and quantity, and I will let the label factory do it. Another thing is to pull over your set of speakers, use top-quality equipment and different methods, and make a comprehensive comparison. "

Xiang Nan looked at the shareholders' signatures in the company's articles of association, the patent application materials and the trademark design sketch, and said: "The speakers must be compared comprehensively, and you can move the equipment at any time. The application items for the speaker patent are not enough, and the five-inch unit and the The extremely small six-inch unit panel design and the golden combination panel design are all patented, leaving no chance for imitators.

  The speaker's trademark design cannot just use the first letter of the three words "metrical poetry". We are not a large and influential company, and people will not know what it means after reading it. The English letters of the three words "metrical poetry" are not long, and one handwritten one can be used as a trademark. "

Ye Xiaoming looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Brother Ding, give me this opportunity to show your face. I'll write it by hand and practice it for a few days. Maybe I will become famous with the speakers in the future."

"As long as you don't declare the copyright, you will write it." Xiang Nan smiled.

"It would be nice to have a chance to show my face. What kind of copyright do I need?" Ye Xiaoming said quickly.

Xiang Nan nodded.

 …

 At this time, Ye Xiaoming and Feng Shijie's expressions were a little stiff.

Xiang Nan saw through their thoughts, and after talking about the easy things, the next things were difficult to talk about, so he said directly, "If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask it, don't hold it in your heart. The most important thing about cooperation is honesty.”

“Brother Ding, we discussed a few things privately, but we are still not sure. I summarized them as follows: First, can Metrics Company really rely on speakers to make a living?

 Second, when we hear the words export, evaluation, and agency, it’s like listening to a story. Is it really that easy? Third, even if it could be done, how much would it cost?

 Fourth, why must we operate in June? Furthermore, is it necessary to apply for a patent for the speaker? Two-component technology sacrifices efficiency for sound quality and loudness. Whether it can be recognized by industry insiders is still unknown.

If the speaker cannot be made, all the money will be wasted. Instead, it will be used to advertise other people's speakers and amplifiers, and we will be taken advantage of. "When Feng Shijie saw what he said, he immediately stopped hesitating and asked.

  He is a small shareholder of the company and invested 120,000 in cash and a car. This is also his entire net worth, so he has to mutter.

His original idea was to use the millions of investments he attracted and the cheap labor force in Wangmiao Village to produce some high-quality and low-priced low-end speakers to seize the market.

But I didn’t expect that Xiang Nan would let them produce high-end speakers with high quality and high price.

Just two speakers are worth thousands of dollars. After all, they are two Lesheng flagships made into a pair of bookshelf boxes, powered by two Slack preamps and four power amplifiers. The price is really not cheap. There are not many consumers who can afford it.

HiFi speakers are inherently niche, and not many people can enjoy them and are willing to spend money. Otherwise, Ye Xiaoming's audio store would not have closed down.

Furthermore, Xiang Nan also asked them to engage in export, evaluation, and overseas agency. They didn't understand it at all, and they couldn't believe that the speakers produced in Wangmiao Village, a remote and ungrateful village, could be exported overseas to earn foreign exchange.

 In his opinion, this is simply an unimaginable myth.

So although the villagers are now doing prosperously, Feng Shijie is actually very unsure. He is afraid that if he fails to get it done, his money will be in vain, and the villagers will also work in vain, and he will become a sinner through the ages. .
