Mr. Xue wanted to say something else, but Lin Zhiyuan took the lead and said, "Mr. Xue, sales is not just about selling products. What I am selling now is not a player, but music, art, and a high-end lifestyle. I want people who buy the Music Garden to feel superior when they listen to music with headphones. To achieve this, there is actually a lot of work to be done. Mr. Xue, let's discuss any questions in private. Now let me get on with my work, okay?"

Old Xue moved his lips. Although he didn't quite understand what Lin Zhiyuan said, he somehow felt it was very powerful.

He said nothing more and sat down quietly.

The following meetings went much more smoothly. Lin Zhiyuan was the only one speaking for most of the time. He divided the work into several parts and assigned them to different people.

Dongtian Electronics needs to quickly select a dozen college students who are proficient in English and Japanese to join the procurement external liaison team.

Lin Zhiyuan divided the purchasing team into three teams. One team, led by Yuan Fei, will fly to Germany the day after tomorrow. The first is to purchase the patent right to use the decoding chip, and the second is to contact well-known headphone manufacturers in Europe to make preliminary inquiries. The quality of the headphones is one of the important guarantees for the success of Music Garden, and it must not be ignored.

The first team was led by Li Changan and joined by Lin Zhiyuan. They went to the United States. The main task of this team was to find an advertising company that could provide a full range of marketing solutions for the Music Garden product, and also to find a nationwide chain of electronic product agents.

Another team flew to Dongsang Country, whose chip, storage and LCD display technologies are currently leading in the world. Their mission is to find suppliers of such raw materials as soon as possible.

The team that stayed in China was led by Yuan Zhilong to conduct research on the shell of the Music Garden. Lin Zhiyuan asked them that the shell should give people a high-end feeling as soon as it was taken out, and it must not feel like the cheap plastic of the Tetris game machine.

The pace of the entire meeting was controlled by Lin Zhiyuan. Even though the old experts led by Mr. Xue did not understand, they were impressed by Lin Zhiyuan's momentum and everyone cooperated very well.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. At nearly eleven o'clock, Lin Zhiyuan finally said, "The meeting is adjourned. Each team should proceed according to the plan. Everyone remember that time is money. We must speed up."

At noon, everyone had lunch in the cafeteria of the Ministry of Information Industry. Lin Zhiyuan, holding the lunch tray, walked to the side of Mr. Xue.

"Mr. Xue, I was a little impatient this morning. I hope you can forgive me."

"Assistant Lin, please take a seat. I just happen to have a few questions I would like to ask you." Although Mr. Xue's expression was serious, his tone was very good.

Lin Zhiyuan sat down next to Mr. Xue, and several old experts surrounded him.

Mr. Xue was the first to ask a question, "Assistant Lin, this morning's meeting really opened my eyes. I didn't understand many of your ideas at the time, but after thinking about it after the meeting, I found that they really make sense. However, I still have a few questions, and I hope Assistant Lin can answer them for me."

"Please tell me, Mr. Xue. I will not hide anything I know."

"According to Assistant Lin's plan, several parts of the Music Garden may have to be purchased from abroad. We are only responsible for the equipment's shell and assembly. Even if this thing is produced, is it still a product of our Shenzhou?" Old scientists like Mr. Xue have a strong sense of patriotism and they attach great importance to the word "domestic".

Lin Zhiyuan smiled slightly, "Mr. Xue, there is a Yanjing Electron Tube Factory near the Oriental Electronics Company. You must know about it, right?"

"Of course!" Mr. Xue straightened his back proudly. "I came from that factory. The Yanjing Electron Tube Factory created countless firsts in our country. In 1965, China's first integrated circuit was produced in the Yanjing Electron Tube Factory. In addition, the first electronic color picture tube was also produced in the Yanjing Electron Tube Factory."

At this moment, Mr. Xue was just like Su Qiancheng. When he mentioned the factory where he used to work, he was full of pride and honor.

"Mr. Xue, I have carefully checked the information of Yanjing Electron Tube Factory these two days. In 1956, Yanjing Electron Tube Factory was established with the assistance of the former Soviet Union. In 1990, the Electron Tube Factory and Matsushita of Dongsang Country jointly established an electronic picture tube factory and produced our country's first color electronic picture tube. Am I right?"

Elder Xue nodded. He had roughly guessed what Lin Zhiyuan meant. "Assistant Lin, do you mean to learn from the foreigners in order to defeat them?"

"Mr. Xue, that's right. We must admit that we are backward. It's not shameful to be backward, but it's shameful to deceive ourselves and stick to our ways. Our country doesn't have the ability to produce these precision electronic components now. Outsourcing is one way. When the Electronic Garden product makes money, we can use the money to learn advanced foreign technology and improve our scientific and technological level and manufacturing level. It's much better than doing nothing. I think this is an attempt. What do you think?"

"Assistant Lin, I didn't expect this! You are young, but you are much more knowledgeable than us old guys. Now that we have come to this point, if I still don't understand, I will be old and confused. Don't worry, from now on, we will do our best to support the Music Garden project."

"Thank you, Mr. Xue." Lin Zhiyuan let out a long sigh in his heart.

The conversation between Lin Zhiyuan and Mr. Xue soon reached the ears of other corporate CEOs in the Ministry of Information Industry.

It is said that the CEOs represented by Mr. Li sneered at Lin Zhiyuan's remarks, "You are so eloquent, I really don't understand. All the key components have to be imported from abroad. Even if this product makes money, what help will it bring to our country's electronic industry?"

Mr. Li's speech represents the views of many people. For this reason, Minister Wu said in public, "Although Mr. Xue is old, he sees things more clearly than many of our leading cadres. I think Assistant Lin is right. Many of our corporate leaders do have outdated ideas. They should change their minds. If they don't change their minds, they should change their people."

After Minister Wu said this, the voices of opposition immediately became much quieter.

But Lin Zhiyuan didn't care about this group of people at all. Some people are blind at heart, no matter what you do, they will find a way to discredit you. The best counterattack against them is to make the Music Garden product a success and make money.

On December 21st, Yuan Fei flew to Germany with three college students majoring in electronics.

On December 22, Lin Zhiyuan and Li Changan led a team to fly to New York.

On December 23, the third external procurement team, led by a leader from the Ministry of Information Industry, rushed to Dongsanguo and was accompanied by Aoi Business Company.

The three teams went to distant places, not only shouldering their own work tasks, but also carrying the hope of China's electronic industry.
