After all, Gao Linqi is just a little fart. Although he is about the same age as Qin Hai, he has n’t been involved in many other worlds, and he doesn't know much about them, except in the circle of playing audio. .. He heard Peng Tingting talk about Qin Hai and Qin Hai's enterprises, but he didn't pay much attention at that time, so he met Qin Hai this time and did not regard Qin Hai as a super rich. Now listening to Qin Hai saying that he sold more than 200 million US dollars of paint spraying machines last year, he was completely convinced by his psychology.
From then on, his attitude towards Qin Hai apparently became much more respectful, and he also had some confidence in Qin Hai's rant about developing a world-class diaphragm. He is a person who plays these audio devices all day long, and has a good understanding of the performance requirements of various materials. Whenever Qin Hai asks questions, he can say a big set of content.
"Xiao Gao, do you think, if I can produce a better diaphragm than you said, how much can I sell in a year?" After asking some technical questions about audio materials, Qinhaiguan's focus shifted On the market side. For these audio material technologies introduced by Gao Linqi, Qin Hai already has some ideas in mind, and now it depends on whether it is worth implementing them.
Gao Linqi thought for a while and said, "One of the places where a diaphragm is needed is a speaker, and a headphone. There are some good headphones abroad, and one can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Except for some wealthy people in China, Others must not be able to afford it. I once saw a particularly expensive pair of headphones in a large home. He let me listen for more than ten minutes. The feeling is really different from other headphones. You listen to it. I can feel the sound is sweet. "Gao Linqi's heart jumped. However, he still pressed himself and waved his hand and said, "How sorry is this, how can I ask Mr. Qin for nothing."
Qin Haidao: "This is not for you. If I want to develop the best diaphragm, I need to know what is the difference between other diaphragms. If you have never used the best diaphragm of another house, how can you identify it? Come out? I said I'll send you a pair. It's a sample for you to audition, but well. After you use it, you can take it. "
"This ... let's talk about it later." Gao Linqi secretly took a sip of water, and snorted and answered. If he refuses to say anything, he can never do it, but to accept it. You can't get through the face.
"General President Qin, let me tell you." Gao Linqi broke away from the headset and continued: "I said before that audio is a bottomless pit. Those of us who engage in audio are either particularly rich or I know technology in particular. By going to the electronics market to buy old goods and come back to assemble it by myself, you have to save money and save money, otherwise you ca n’t afford these things at all.
Enthusiasts abroad are much richer than us. I have read some information and heard friends from other countries tell me. Audiophiles abroad have a set of audio equipment for 10,000, 10,000 US dollars. Just now you think that Professor Qiao's set of speakers is expensive, and a speaker alone costs 4 yuan. However, some people in foreign countries need tens of thousands of dollars for a speaker at home. "Gao Linqi said:" According to the materials I have read, the world's high-end audio market is almost more than one billion US dollars a year, of which speakers and headphones account for almost half. "
"There is such a big market." Qin Hai shouted.
In fact, as long as Gao Linqi talked to him about the speaker diaphragm, Qin Hai remembered that he had been exposed to this material in the previous life. From the early nineties of the last century to the year before the new century, audio-related material technologies were updated by as many as four or five generations. The latest technology is in the hands of a few large companies, which is a top secret, but the previous generations of technology no longer have the value of confidentiality, and there have been many discussions in some material science publications.
At that time, Qin Hai himself did not do industry, nor did he care about the scale of the audio market. He was just out of curiosity, researched several related literatures, and wanted to see why things like audio actually involve complex material processes. In retrospect, what Gao Linqi said about density and damping seemed to be talked about in later literatures, but he didn't know it. Now listening to Gao Linqi's words, he understands that the market is so huge. No wonder these big companies will spare no expense to upgrade their technology from generation to generation.
As the technology in the mid-to-late 1990s and the first year of the first century, before Qin Hai crossing, it was considered as the industry's obsolete technology, but now it is far ahead of the international giants' advanced technology. With such knowledge, how can Qin Hai let it go in the face of such a large market.
"Tingting, who is more expert in fiber in the company?" Qin Hai turned to Peng Tingting.
Peng Tingting was shocked by the conversation between Qin Hai and Gao Linqi just now. After hearing Qin Hai's question, she froze, and then quickly answered, "Is Xia Xia the most expert?" It seems that Yu Gong, as well as Liu Gong, are all engaged in fiber, but they seem to have different fibers, and I do n’t understand. "
"Oh, I see." Qin Hai didn't mind. He also knew that Peng Tingting was just a secretary, and he didn't know much about the technology researched by the company.
Xia Yangjie is studying fiber winding technology. Qin Hai knows this most clearly, and he remembers that the next generation of acoustic diaphragm and speaker materials is just related to fiber winding. These technologies are also extremely simple to say. Through certain weaving techniques to achieve a specific rigidity, Qin Hai believes that with the technical essentials that he remembers, plus the technical skills of Xia Yangjie and others, they can completely restore these techniques.
"General President Qin, our company really wants to develop audio materials?" Peng Tingting asked timidly.
Qin Hai laughed: "Of course, Xiao Gao said, this market is worth billions of dollars. Why don't we do it?"
"So ... Can Xiao Gao really help us?" Peng Tingting asked again. She and Gao Linqi are high school classmates, naturally they are very concerned about this matter. If classmates can be favored by President Qin for her own sake, she will have glory in her face.
Qin Haidao: "This depends on whether Xiao Gaoyuan is willing."
Speaking of this, he looked at Gao Linqi and said, "Xiao Gao, after listening to what you said just now, I was really tempted and planned to invest millions to develop high-end audio materials. How to research the materials has nothing to do with you, but our company There is a lack of people who know the sound. Even if you come up with the materials, I do n’t know if it is appropriate. If you do n’t want to abandon it, I want to hire you as our sound consultant. As long as you work part-time, your monthly salary is not less than 1 yuan. . In addition, you can purchase samples of various audios, and you can play as you like. "
"Tingting, look ..." Gao Linqi looked at Peng Tingting helplessly, trying to get the other party to come up with an idea for himself. In the words of future generations, this called happiness came too fast, and he didn't know how to greet it.
Gao Linqi's family is not bad, otherwise he would not be able to play the stereo. But the money that his parents can give him is always limited, and he works in a factory himself. His salary is less than 1 yuan a month. In order to play the stereo, he almost cuts his clothes and eats even the money for his girlfriend to eat ice cream. Do not come out, for this reason did not suffer less from his girlfriend's white eyes, not less despised among his girlfriend's girlfriends.
These interpersonal embarrassments are just fine. The key is that every time I look at the favorite components and materials in the thrift market, I feel ashamed in my pocket. The feeling of distress makes him unbearable from time to time. As for those high-end stereos that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, he can only watch from a distance without having a chance to play. This is a soul torture for a enthusiast.
He entrusted a relationship with a wealthy player like Qiao Zihe, and tried his best to help them repair the amplifier and adjust the audio, on the one hand to earn some extra money to buy components for themselves, on the other hand, to be able to have a chance Get in touch with those high-end stereos, and enjoy yourself.
Now, Qin Hai is fancy for his accomplishments in audio, and is willing to hire him for a monthly salary of not less than 1 yuan, and also authorizes him to purchase various high-end audio samples for him to enjoy, where is what work, which is simply The gift gave him a great opportunity!
"I ... I don't need such a high salary, as long as I can try those speakers, I'll be satisfied. UU reading www.uukanshu.com." Gao Linqi lingered for a long time, and finally came up with such a sentence.
Qin Hai laughed: "Xiao Gao doesn't have to be polite. You have this ability and you should get this salary. As for the audio, you know the best. After you arrive at the company, you tell the company's executive director Yu Haitao the model you want. He will arrange for someone to purchase. You said that some speakers may not be available in China. He will be responsible for contacting our overseas branches and buying according to your list. "
"Okay, okay!" Gao Linqi said repeatedly. "I am willing to accept this job. I will immediately quit my job in the factory and live in the company every day."
"Then we will make a decision. Your procedures will be taken by Tingting. I will arrange other things when I return." Qin Hai said.
"Xiao Gao, have you stepped on cow dung today? I have been working in the company for four years and only got 4 yuan in salary. You got 1 at a time, or President Qin promised. When you get the salary, you must Please my guest! "Peng Tingting pursed her mouth and said to Gao Linqi.
"That's for sure. I'll let Xiaohong meet you on the Huaihai Road. Whatever you two want to eat," Gao Linqi promised with a pat on his chest. It feels great to be a high-paid white-collar worker. ) ()
