The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Lin Zhiyuan sighed deliberately, "What a pity, your company's leaders don't seem to realize this, and they don't take this project seriously..."

The young Yuan Fei was indeed anxious. "Assistant Lin, this project must go on. If Dianke is unwilling to carry it out, we can find another company."

"Oh? Are there any other companies willing to develop this project?" Lin Zhiyuan looked at Yuan Fei deeply. He clearly remembered that when Mr. Li introduced Yuan Fei at the dinner table, he specifically mentioned that Yuan Fei was the son of an old employee of the Ministry of Electronic Information, and his father was also the president of a company.

"Assistant Lin, my father's company is also a subordinate enterprise of the ministry, but it is not as big as that of the University of Electrical Science and Technology of China. I can go home and try to persuade my father to carry out the research and development of this project." Yuan Fei's face was full of anxiety.

"Xiao Yuan, today is the first time we meet. I don't know you, but as someone who is a few years older than you, I feel I need to remind you that what you are about to do may violate certain taboos in the workplace. First, you are an employee of the Electronics Technology Group, and second, you are General Manager Li's secretary. Do you understand what I mean? If you insist on doing this, you will most likely be... " Lin Zhiyuan didn't finish his words, but Yuan Fei understood.

Yuan Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Assistant Lin, I know, but I can't take care of it now. Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. At worst, I can leave CETC, but I can't lose this project. I have a strong feeling that this project will make money, and a lot of money. Maybe it can change the current situation of domestic electronic companies."

Lin Zhiyuan really admires this young man. He knows what he is doing and is not afraid of the bad consequences that may arise from it. This is the courage and responsibility a young person should have.

"Xiao Yuan, now that you have thought about it, let me tell you the key to this project."

"Assistant Lin, you said it, I remember it!"

"First, after you go home, you must communicate this matter with your father immediately and obtain his consent. Second, contact Germany immediately and ask about the patent. It would be best if we could pay a sum of money and obtain the right to use this patent..." When Lin Zhiyuan said this, he sensitively noticed the embarrassment on Yuan Fei's face.

"What's wrong? Xiao Yuan, are you in trouble?"

"Assistant Lin, it's all about money. My father's company is having a hard time right now. I wonder if you can give me the patent transfer fee?"

"We'll talk about this later. The money problem is actually the easiest to solve. If it doesn't work, I can communicate with Minister Wu to see if there are other ways to solve it."

"Director Lin, please continue."

"Third, and most importantly, you should not treat this project as a simple research and development project, but rather as a commercial project."

"Commercial project?" A trace of confusion appeared in Yuan Fei's eyes.

"Yes, it's a commercial project. To put it simply, it's not difficult to develop this small appliance that can play music. The difficult part is how to make consumers willing to buy it. I hope that this product will be eye-catching and make people want to buy it, so the appearance design of this product is crucial..."

Yuan Fei seemed to understand what Lin Zhiyuan said. "Assistant Lin, I roughly understand. I will contact my classmates in Deutsche tonight. In addition to consulting about patent fees, I can also learn about the design companies there. Deutsche's industrial design is very famous. I would like to ask my classmates to help me find a designer who has won the Red Dot Award."

"Yes, if we can find a designer who has won the Red Dot Award, we will be halfway to success."

When the Red Dot Award was mentioned, both of them smiled knowingly.

The Red Dot Design Award is internationally recognized as one of the top global industrial design awards, and is one of the world's three major design awards along with the German "iF Award" and the United States "IDEA Award". Since its inception in 1955, the Red Dot Award has become one of the most important design awards in the world, recognizing achievements in many fields such as automobiles, architecture, household, electronics, fashion, life sciences and medicine.

The Red Dot Design Award was founded by the famous Fraunhofer Design Association in Germany. It has a 60-year history and is headquartered in Germany. It has become an international design award.

The competition categories are divided into three main areas: Product Design, Communication Design and Design Concept Award.

"Xiao Yuan, no matter which designer you find, I hope you can convey to the designer some features of the product's appearance. Of course, this is my understanding."

"Assistant Lin, you tell me and I'll write it down." Yuan Fei hurriedly took out his notebook and pen, ready to take notes.

"It's simple and modern, and it fits the aesthetics of young people. In addition..." Lin Zhiyuan pointed to the left chest pocket of Yuan Fei's shirt, "The size of this product should not exceed the shirt pocket. This is very important."

Yuan Fei's eyes lit up. "Yes, this is more convenient. Assistant Lin, is there anything else?"

"That's all for the exterior design. Another thing is that product promotion is also very important. I think we should find a powerful advertising company in Citigroup to create an overall promotion plan for this product."

"Wait, Assistant Lin, you said you wanted to find a company in the United States. Does that mean you want this product to be mainly aimed at overseas markets?" Yuan Fei was a little confused.

"That's right, we're mainly promoting overseas markets." Lin Zhiyuan leaned back in his chair, his eyes sparkling, "Selling overseas will bring high profits!"

"That's all I can think of for now, Xiao Yuan. I hope you can hurry up, as we don't have much time left."

Yuan Fei didn't know why Lin Zhiyuan said this, and he didn't dare to ask, but he understood that it was important for a good product to seize the market opportunity.

"Assistant Lin, I understand. I will race against time. By the way, Mr. Lin, would you like to visit my father's company? His company is called Dongtian Electronics, and it is also a subsidiary enterprise, but it is very small."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and looked at Zhou Bosi, "Xiao Zhou, remember that our activities tomorrow will remain the same, but we will adjust the research plan the day after tomorrow and go to visit Dongtian Electronics Company."

The conversation with Yuan Fei ended here, and Lin Zhiyuan went home to sleep. On Friday, he visited two more electronics companies according to the research schedule. Lin Zhiyuan's attitude was the same as on Thursday, he watched and listened more, but rarely expressed his opinions.

The third day, Saturday.

Since Lin Zhiyuan temporarily changed the research plan, the first stop this morning was Dongtian Electronics.

Dongtian Electronics is a relatively small company among the subordinate enterprises of the Ministry of Information Industry, with only more than 100 employees and cadres. Its scientific research capability is also the weakest. For a long time in the past, it mainly produced radios.

After entering the 1990s, the company's products suffered a great impact and it was almost impossible to continue operating. At this time, Yuan Fei's father Yuan Zhilong was appointed as the general manager of Dongtian Electronics.

Yuan Zhilong was a smart man, a rare entrepreneur with a business philosophy. After taking office, he decisively stopped the radio production line and switched to producing the Tetris game console, which was very popular in the 1990s. With this product, the company was revived. However, by the end of the 1990s, the Tetris game console craze subsided and the company was in a critical moment of life and death.

That's why Yuan Fei was so anxious. He didn't want his father's life's hard work to go to waste.
