Chapter Four Hundred and Twentieth Full of Ambition to Break Yongping

Duan Yongping convened the backbone of the company and held a meeting for everyone. The country suddenly released the policy on the import of game consoles, and foreign game consoles will soon enter the Chinese market.

At present, Little Overlord is relying on low prices, crazy advertisements and secretly supported pirated cassettes to rule the domestic game console market.

But he is very clear that their game consoles are imitations, even of Nintendo's old game consoles, and Nintendo has technical patents in hand. The matching game cassettes are even pirated. If Nintendo sues them for copyright infringement, they will be very troublesome and even face suspension of production and fines.

Fortunately, they have considered this situation a long time ago, and have been developing new products, which belong to Xiaobawang's own new products.

But now, there is already a little bit of eyebrows. They found that more and more families now have higher incomes, but they are not willing to buy game consoles for their children, thinking that they will lose their minds by playing with things.

Duan Yongping suddenly thought, what if what we produce is not a game console, but a learning machine that can help children learn? You can turn some words, idioms, English, etc. into simple games, so that parents will buy them for their children, and the children can not only play games, but also learn knowledge, killing two birds with one stone!

Of course, before going into production, you still need to do some market research. They found that apart from microcomputers with this function, no other similar products have been found, and the price of microcomputers is basically tens of thousands of yuan. As long as they produce simple and easy-to-use products with simplified functions, the cost can be controlled below 2,000 yuan. More than 3,000 yuan, it should be very easy to sell!

This idea made Duan Yongping very excited, and it also made him firm that Xiaobawang will find a new profit growth point, and will create a new concept product, a product between game consoles and microcomputers.

Duan Yongping has won the support of other people in the company. They all believe that only by producing new products can the status of Xiaobawang be guaranteed, and the status can be improved. It is no longer just a factory of cheap game consoles.

Duan Yongping reported this idea to the leader. At this time, Xiaobawang is still wholly owned by a state-owned enterprise. The city leaders heard this and thought it was a good idea, but when they asked, the funds for new product research and development had run out, Duan Yongping asked the city to continue to allocate 1 million for product research and development.

The city refused at once, and already gave you one million, but you haven't researched anything, and now you want another million? This one million, one million asking for money, when will it end?

Duan Yongping patiently explained to the leader that when this product is developed, it will monopolize the market and defeat all competing game machine manufacturers, and the company's profits can be multiplied several times.

Importantly, this is not copyright infringement!

The country has opened up the policy of importing game consoles. When foreign game companies enter the country, they will inevitably conduct market research and find that we have embezzled their patented technology. If we are sued by others, our products will be discontinued. Even if we are not sued, if the other party also launches cheap game consoles, relying on the advantages of big foreign brands, it will have a strong impact on our products.

Duan Yongping is also a little helpless, people in China now have this concept, things from foreigners must be the best. Expensive things must be good things. He was afraid that even if the prices of foreign game consoles did not drop, they would be robbed of most of the market.

The launch of new products is extremely important, even related to the survival of Xiaobawang.

In fact, the leaders of the city have had opinions on Duan Yongping for a long time. Duan Yongping has been saying that there is a problem with the management of Xiaobawang, and the system should be reformed.

How to reform? It is not enough for you to conclude that Yongping has become the general manager. You also want to change to a joint-stock system. Can you become the chairman of the board? This company is owned by the city, not by you!

The last time Duan Yongping told him that the most important thing for Xiaobawang is technology and management.

Moreover, it is required that after the restructuring, technology and management must be converted into shares.

What do you mean, you want to divide Yongping and want to divide Xiaobawang? Without you, would Xiaobawang still be ashamed? And those technicians, are the salaries not high enough? It's two hundred yuan a month, which is not worse than my salary, what more do you want?

There are not many other things in our southern Guangdong, but there are many talents. Especially in the past two years, there have been many technical talents from the north coming to us. Is the technology inferior to yours? If you don't do it, I'll find someone else, maybe a monthly salary of 150 is enough!

Duan Yongping said that this little overlord should be restructured into a joint-stock system, remove those bloated government departments, increase the number of people in the technical department and sales department, and give a certain share reward in recognition of their contribution to the company. Contribution, and stimulate them to continue to work hard to make greater contributions to the company.

Of course, Duan Yongping really believed that this little overlord was created by him alone. When he took over the factory, he was in debt of more than two million yuan. But he didn't ask the city for a penny, relying on debts, relying on him to constantly lobby the dealers to pay first and then the goods, and pressure the material dealers' money, to produce the Xiaobawang game machine, and borrowed money to the central station for production. Advertising is the reason for the hot market of Xiaobawang and the dominance of Xiaobawang among domestic game machine manufacturers.

When it was named Overlord, its goal was to become the overlord in the game industry. Now he can be said to have achieved it, and he has also handed over tens of millions of profits to the city in the past few years.

Didn't he bring all of this? Shouldn't he be getting some rewards? Look at those foreign companies, a senior executive has shares in the company, why can't I have it? Which executive is more capable than me and contributes more than me? Why do those foreign executives earn thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, while my monthly salary is only in the early 200s?

Moreover, in other places, it is not that there is no such restructuring method, and those who make major contributions are given certain equity rewards. Duan Yongping believes that he meets this standard, and no one in the company or the factory has any objections. It was he who made everyone from not receiving their wages to double their wages. It is too late for everyone to thank him.

But the city just disagrees, thinking that the company does not need to be restructured, Xiaobawang is an enterprise in the city, and it is developing very well now, so it should continue to do so.

But after Duan Yongping forced the palace several times, the city also let go. If Duan Yongping puts on the pick now, it seems that no one can pick up the burden of the little bully.

But the city gave Duan Yongping a request, if you want the annual profit of Xiaobawang's business to exceed 100 million, then you can talk about the restructuring.

Duan Yongping was very happy at first, but the city let go. But now, the city doesn't even provide research and development funds. Without research and development funds, new products cannot be released. Without new products, how to make money? If the city hadn't taken all the profits away, with Xiaobawang's profitability last year, would he have worried about one million?

After much trial and error, the city finally agreed to give another 500,000 yuan. After the results are produced, they will consider whether to add additional research and development funds. Duan Yongping left with gratitude, and at the same time strengthened his confidence, he must develop a learning machine as soon as possible, and let the city see his ability!

What Duan Yongping didn't know was that the prototype of the Aihua brand learning machine had already been produced!
