Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 90: No One Above Me! (Third Update!)
After this sentence, the people nearby also silently stopped what they were doing.

Since someone has stepped forward to take the lead, they can follow behind and let the people in front help charge forward.

Their actions did not escape Lin Yi's eyes. With just a quick glance, he guessed what these people were thinking.

It's nothing more than wanting to gain more benefits.

Or maybe, after he went back that day, he thought about it, maybe he found someone else, and felt that he was enough.

Why do you have to seek death?

Shaking his head, Lin Yi placed his Nokia 5800xm on the table and pointed with his finger:
"Mr. Zhou, first tell me, what are the advantages of your MP3, MP4, and MP5 compared to this thing?"

After asking the question, he waved his hands again and again:
"Think about it carefully, and then speak."

What are the advantages?
Zhou Hongjiang was stunned when he saw the phone Lin Yi placed on the table.

He recognized that phone, which was said to be a newly released smartphone from HTC, using some Android system. It was said to be very useful, but he didn't buy it.

Because several bosses around me said that thing is useless.

So, you have to make yourself talk about mp3, mp4, mp5, and the advantages of this mobile phone.

He really couldn't tell.

After gritting his teeth and thinking for a moment, Zhou Hongjiang finally stated what he thought were the advantages:
"The products we produce are cheap and convenient. You can put them in your pocket and listen to music or watch videos."

"Your phone costs several thousand yuan, not everyone can afford it."

"So, Mr. Lin, when you say this thing has no future, I beg to differ."

He spoke while shaking his head. After listening to him, Wang Ya and others next to him secretly glanced at Lin Yi's expression.

Noticing that Lin Yi looked normal, he quickly looked at Zhou Hongjiang.

Then, several people seemed to have telepathic connection, shaking their heads and nodding in agreement.

Zhou Hongjiang saw their actions.

I felt relieved, but also felt very strange.

Because his intuition told him that these people wanted him dead.

Being stared at by him, Lin Yi touched his nose awkwardly and moved his butt to the side inconspicuously.

After completing these actions, he raised his eyes and looked at the other person:

"Are you done? Think about it again and see if there are any other advantages?"

This time, it was Zhou Hongjiang who was stared at.

He thought about it and shook his head gently: "No more."

Lin Yi didn't rush to speak. Instead, he picked up the phone on the table, went to the phone storage page, found a video he had taken today, and clicked play. After the video started playing, he placed the phone in front of Zhou Hongjiang:

"MP3 can only be used to listen to music, MP4 can be used to watch some short videos, and MP5, based on the first two, can watch videos of various video formats, and of course, can also listen to music."

"But a mobile phone can do all of this."

"And the mobile phone has a property that these three things cannot match."

“That’s social!”

Having said that, Lin Yi tapped the table lightly with his right index finger and looked at Zhou Hongjiang sideways:
"Mr. Zhou, do you know why those students like to buy these three things?"

why?
Zhou Hongjiang was completely bewildered for a moment. He patted his forehead and looked at Lin Yi and asked:
"why?"

This time, Lin Yi's face darkened and he didn't answer directly. After sitting up straight, he turned his gaze to the other people present:

"Bosses, can you help me answer this question?"

"Because of socializing!" It was Li Xun who answered. His voice was decisive and powerful, which also showed that he was very sure of this answer.

This answer was beyond Zhou Hongjiang's expectations. He chewed on the word, then threw it out of his mind, and then shook his head frantically:

"impossible!"

The next moment, Lin Yi nodded gently, but the person he nodded to was Li Xun:

"Yes, Not Bad!"

"Mr. Li is right. These three items are mainly bought by junior high school and high school students, as well as some college students."

"The biggest benefit is the social interaction among these children, followed by learning."

"However, compared to mobile phones, these three devices offer very little, or even almost no, social attributes."

"Indeed, Mr. Zhou is right about one advantage he just mentioned, and that is that mobile phones are expensive."

“But it’s 2010.”

"Just because mobile phones were expensive in 2010 doesn't mean they will be expensive in 2011, 2012, or 2013."

"By then, all a person needs to go out is a mobile phone."

"You can listen to music, watch videos, take photos, make calls, and connect to the internet, so you can listen to whatever you want anytime."

"By that time, do you think these three things will still have an advantage?"

"So, my dear Mr. Zhou, is there a problem with me saying that there is no market for this thing?"

Zhou Hongjiang opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he couldn't find a point to refute. He wanted to be stubborn, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by the person opposite him:
"I know you want to add these functions to your MP5."

“But once you add that in, is that thing any different from a cell phone?”

These words, like a muffled thunder, exploded fiercely in Zhou Hongjiang's heart.

What’s the difference with a mobile phone?
Hey!
After cursing inwardly, Zhou Hongjiang's face lost all color and he slumped weakly in the chair.

There is no hope for the future.

hopeless!

It's a pity that I was still thinking about how to make some money, expand the place and increase production capacity.

Now it's okay, no need to do that.

It can also be considered as saving money for yourself.

After comforting himself in his heart, Zhou Hongjiang seemed to regain some motivation. He picked up the document on the table that he had just put down and started looking through it again.

This time, the speakers on the file seem to be pretty good too.

Zhou Hongjiang fell silent. Li Xun, who had just spoken to help answer the question, shook the document in his hand.
"Mr. Lin, I've taken a look at the document you gave me. I don't know what the documents you gave to others look like, but this document mentioned that the products enhanced by your technology can completely defeat our established competitors in terms of quality and performance."

"May I ask, why are you so sure?"

After saying this, he closed his mouth and suddenly slapped himself, as if he was regretting what he had just said.

Then he uttered the classic line:

"Look at my broken mouth."

Actor, national first-class actor.

Lin Yi silently gave the boss a rating for his acting skills in his heart.

With such acting skills, if you take him to the set and give him the script, he can perform it perfectly. He is completely unlike those young people in later generations who sing and dance rap and play basketball all day long, but have terrible acting skills.

He was complaining in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Zhou Hongjiang built a step, and now Li Xun has built another stage.

It would be boring if I didn't follow.

Lin Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the attention of the others present slowly shifted to him as he moved.

Then, a gentle voice sounded:

"If there is a water heater that is 50% better than its competitors and has the same price as its competitors, which one would you choose?"

Li Xun remained silent, his brows lowered as he pondered how to achieve a 50% lead in quality while maintaining the same price. He pondered over and over, but he still couldn't figure out how to do it.

Profits in the manufacturing industry are very fixed, and everyone in the industry knows how much money can be made from a part.

Everyone knows the price of assembling the parts together and finally putting a label on it.

If you want to make money, you either have to work hard to earn it, or make dirty money by selling inferior products as good ones.

But Lin Yi’s premise is that at the same price, the quality is 50% higher.

This……

That's a joke.

At this moment, Lin Yi's voice sounded again:

“What if we can save another 50% of electricity?”

While speaking, Lin Yi's gaze fell on the system panel in front of him.

[Far Ahead Feature 2: 50% Ahead! The host's factory's products have a 50% performance improvement over similar products in the same industry!]

The word performance is very wonderful.

For household appliances, energy saving is also a kind of performance.

During this period of time in 2009, power transformation had just begun in most places, and electricity bills were a considerable expense for the Chinese people in these places.

It is precisely based on this point that saving electricity has almost become an obsession for this generation of heads of households.

At first, Lin Yi himself didn't notice this point. It was only after studying it slowly during this period that he discovered that this feature was not as simple as he had initially thought.

After these words were spoken, Li Xun, who was deep in thought, was completely stunned. He slowly turned his head and stared at Lin Yi blankly like a zombie with a broken neck.

After staring for a while, he belatedly asked:

"Boss Lin, what do you mean by 50% energy saving?"

"Are you kidding me?"

After asking this question, he seemed to find these words ridiculous and just laughed.

But as he laughed, he couldn't laugh anymore because Lin Yi didn't laugh.

After struggling for a while, he finally spoke hesitantly:

"Boss Lin, are you kidding?"

After asking, he got Lin Yi's answer.

The person opposite him sat on the chair, looked into his eyes, and then shook his head slightly:
"I do what I say!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, without a trace of guilt.

This time, Li Xun was at a loss. He stood there, raised his hands, and stared blankly at his ten fingers:
"How is that possible? The specific heat capacity of tap water is almost the same. To heat the same weight of water, the amount of heat required is roughly the same."

"That is to say, for the same amount of electricity, the thermal efficiency is 50-60% higher than other similar equipment."

"How can this be?"

He turned around and looked at Lin Yi again, trying to see a joking expression on his face.

However, Lin Yi still had that smile on his face, and when he looked over, he nodded faintly:
"OK!"

Once again getting the answer "yes", Li Xun chose to give up.

He raised his hands, waved them helplessly, and then dropped them weakly.

His hands slapped his trouser legs, making a snapping sound, and then he responded:
"Mr. Lin, if my factory is renovated under your guidance, the products it produces will be 50% higher in quality than its competitors at the same price, and..."

He held up three fingers, thought for a moment, then retracted one finger and said seriously, "And if it can save more than 20% in energy, then I'll give you 55% of the shares."

"I'll work for you, old man."

After saying these words, Li Xun sat on the chair and exhaled heavily.

It seemed as if these few words had exhausted all his strength.

Lin Yi benefited greatly from his words.

He nodded to Li Xun, indicating that he should wait nearby.

Then Lin Yi turned his attention to the remaining people.

With Zhou Hongjiang and Li Xun in front, this time, everyone who was caught in the gaze quickly lowered their heads and quickly flipped through the documents in their hands.

If you have any questions, just raise your hand and ask carefully.

All these questions were taken over by the people behind Lin Yi and answered quickly and orderly.

As more and more questions were asked, the ten people behind Lin Yi turned their inquiring eyes to Lin Yi. After getting Lin Yi's permission, they each walked towards a boss, then stood beside these bosses, patiently and gently answering their questions.

The question was answered, and these bosses also realized that the young man who answered the question might be the expert that Lin Yi mentioned who would help them with technological transformation.

Gradually, the looks they gave these people became filled with eagerness.

If only these people were my own.

At the conference table, Wang Ya calmly closed the document, held her chin with both hands, and asked Lin Yi with a serious face:
"Boss Lin, I have a question I'd like to ask you. I wonder if you'd be willing to answer it."

"Say!"

After receiving permission, Wang Ya pointed to the file in front of her, and then pointed to the files of several other people:

"I've read what's in these documents, Mr. Lin."

“It’s very unique, and the viewpoints are very original, some of which can even be considered top secret.”

"In addition, there are some technologies that these experts occasionally mentioned during their answers."

"I just want to ask, is there anyone above Mr. Lin?"

"If we use this technology, there won't be any problems, right?"

Under her eager gaze, Lin Yi shook his head slightly:
"There's no one above me!"

"These technologies are very good technologies for you, and they are top secret."

"But no matter how good a technology is, it must ultimately serve the people."

"As long as it serves the people, this technology is not top secret; it's just ordinary technology."

"I'll give it to you, so you can use it with confidence."

"But..." After a pause, Lin Yi slowly stood up from his chair, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, and walked around the conference table.

The sidelong glance fell on the CEOs present, making them feel very uncomfortable.

That look was like he was looking at a commodity.

But they are the bosses.

Not a commodity.

In the end, Lin Yi did not return to his seat. Instead, he walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and looked out the window.

The Chinese New Year in 2009 was relatively late, and the period around New Year’s Day was the coldest.

It was getting late outside the window, and under the light of the street lights, snowflakes were falling in the wind.

Under the urging of snowflakes, the city of Gusu, which already had no nightlife, became even more deserted.

Looking at the snowflakes, Lin Yi spoke again, but his voice lacked much emotion:

"If you seek death, you will really die."
