Chapter 200 The Player's Launch Meets a Cold Reception
When Zhang San's music player was launched, it didn't have that many units sold.
The first batch of 50 units were launched. These 50 players have an appearance similar to the iPaoer, mainly pure white, with only a 2.5-inch black and white display.
This time, the manufacturing was done at the original VCD factory in Shenzhen. The manufacturing cost was only one-fifth of that in North America, which saved a lot of profit.
Originally, this land was intended for Zhang San to manufacture VCDs, and it was also used to produce VCD players. Now that better DVD technology has emerged, the VCD factory has been transformed into a DVD player manufacturing plant.
In the VCD factory workshop, workers are busy producing traditional VCD products. However, the market changes rapidly, and new orders emerge. To meet the needs of these new orders, they naturally need to design new production lines and train their employees.
To meet the needs of its boss, Zhang San, and to increase profits, the factory naturally faces the difficult challenge of transformation.
Transformation is no easy task; technical challenges loom like towering mountains. The client sent a team of foreign engineers to provide guidance.
At the meeting, the manager of the contract manufacturer promised a hefty sum of money.
"The engineers on this trip are part of the product's R&D team. They are very familiar with this player. However, they are on a business trip here and receive a very high allowance. If you can get the production line sorted out as soon as possible, their allowance will become your bonus."
"The client's team will be here for two months. You can decide the rest yourselves."
One of the engineers in the audience immediately asked curiously, "Boss, why do we get bonuses even though they only have a few days off?"
"Hehe... Don't ask such silly questions in the future, OK!?"
Some astute individuals immediately realized that the owners of the two companies must have a very close relationship.
Driven by the promise of financial reward, the engineers at the original factory worked tirelessly day and night, constantly trying and experimenting, but repeatedly encountered setbacks. However, they knew that only by overcoming these difficulties could the factory survive in the fierce market competition.
Through the team's persistent efforts, they finally found a breakthrough. A young engineer proposed an innovative design solution, which, after repeated demonstrations and optimizations, gradually matured.
At the same time, the company decided to train the original VCD employees to improve their skills. From producing VCDs to producing music players, from large-scale production to small-scale production, training was naturally required.
In the spacious and bright training room, the employees sat lazily in their seats. Most of them were numb, having worked on the monotonous production line for so many years, and were already exhausted both physically and mentally.
In this segmented training, the trainees were divided into different groups, each focusing on a different stage of the production process.
The trainer explained in detail the workflow and key points of operation on this section of the production line, enabling the trainees to clearly understand their responsibilities in the entire production chain.
Through hands-on practice and simulations, they gradually became familiar with and mastered the work processes they were responsible for.
While it's impossible for everyone to master the entire production process, this segmented training ensures that each trainee can perform at their best in their respective role.
The new production line will be online soon. With experience in producing VCDs, we have a solid foundation; and after training, the staff will be able to get online quickly.
The 500,000 music players to be sold globally this time have a suggested retail price of $499 for the 5G music player and $599 for the 10G music player.
Of course, Zhang San doesn't care whether the price is high or low, as long as he can sell it.
With the new product launched, Zhang San naturally kept more than a dozen for himself. Not only did Guan Meiren receive one, but Chai Xiaofen also received one, and He Meitian, who was in Guangzhou, received hers even faster.
Meanwhile, in some digital stores, music players on the shelves have also attracted the attention of some customers.
Mario and Susan entered the digital store, their eyes drawn to the white media players displayed on the shelves. Curious, they approached the display area, where a salesperson warmly greeted them.
The salesperson smiled and began to introduce the white player to them. He gently picked up the digital music player, slid his finger along the scroll wheel, and music immediately started playing.
"This digital music player not only boasts excellent sound quality but also has a huge storage capacity, capable of holding thousands of songs." He said, demonstrating the various functions of the digital music player. "It's very easy to operate; just a few swipes and you can find the song you want to listen to... The digital music player's design is simple yet stylish, and its compact size makes it easy to carry, allowing you to enjoy music anytime, anywhere, whether you're exercising, traveling, or working."
Susan gently touched the surface of the player, feeling its texture, while Mario listened attentively to the salesperson's explanation.
The salesperson turned on the player, showcasing a clear screen and a user-friendly interface. Susan showed great interest in the sound quality, so the salesperson switched between different songs to let them listen to the high-quality audio.
Mario inquired about the player's storage capacity and supported music formats, and the salesperson answered his questions one by one, also introducing other additional features such as recording and Bluetooth connectivity.
Susan and Mario were both pleased with the white player's appearance and features. Mario asked, "How much?"
"5G is only $499 and 10G is only $599, which is a great deal."
Susan and Mario excitedly carried their newly purchased 5G digital music player. The player boasted a sleek, streamlined design, exuding technological charm. Each player came with a beautiful tote bag; Susan's bag was pink with cute patterns, while Mario's was blue with a dynamic design.
They carefully placed the player into the cloth bag, as if it were a precious treasure. The bag was soft and its delicate texture felt very comfortable to the touch, providing the player with all-around protection. Susan gently zipped up the bag, watching with satisfaction as her musical companion was safely wrapped up; Mario smiled as he tied the bag's drawstring, appreciating the careful protection.
These two cloth bags became the link between Susan and Mario and their digital music player. They not only protected the player but also added a touch of warmth and personalization. Whether traveling or enjoying music at home, they could carry the player with them and immerse themselves in the world of music anytime, anywhere.
This scenario has occurred all over the world; although sales were initially poor, they gradually began to rise.
