The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Before nine o'clock, the banquet was over. Lin Zhiyuan shook hands with the leader of the electronic technology company and got into the car.

Zhan Daying, deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Information Industry, took the initiative to ask: "Assistant Lin, is everything going well for tomorrow's investigation?"

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Director Zhan. Everything is fine. We will visit two companies tomorrow, and four companies on Saturday and Sunday. We will see and listen to as many as possible."

Zhan Daying sincerely praised: "Assistant Lin's work style is really pragmatic. He doesn't even take a break on weekends."

"It's just that Deputy Director Zhan has worked so hard to accompany me."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, Assistant Lin, this is for our department. The Minister said that all work arrangements during the investigation period will be based on Assistant Lin's opinions."

"Time is limited, I just hope to get there as early as possible."

Lin Zhiyuan asked the Ministry of Information Industry's car to first take him and Zhou Bosi to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences next to the Science and Technology Building, and then take Jiang Fenglai home.

As soon as the Ministry of Information Industry's car left, Zhou Bosi immediately reported to Lin Zhiyuan, "Assistant Lin, I have obtained Yuan Fei's contact information..."

Before he could finish, Lin Zhiyuan urged, "Call him and ask him if he's willing to come out to see us? Now!"

Zhou Bosi was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the usually calm Lin Zhiyuan was so anxious today? Moreover, he wanted to meet with Mr. Li's secretary in private. To some extent, this was a big taboo in the officialdom. Lin Zhiyuan shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, but since the leader had given the order, he could only follow it.

Soon, he dialed the phone number that Yuan Fei had secretly told him. The phone rang once before someone answered it, and Yuan Fei's voice came out, "I'm Yuan Fei, hello!"

"Hello, Secretary Yuan. I'm Zhou Bosi from the Large Workers' Committee. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Convenient, convenient, I'm alone now."

Zhou Bosi glanced at Lin Zhiyuan, who nodded slightly and pointed to a teahouse opposite the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Zhou Bosi understood, "Secretary Yuan, I'm at the Qinyuanchun Teahouse opposite the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Do you have time to come over and sit for a while?"

"I'll be there soon if I have time." After Yuan Fei hung up the phone, he rushed to the side of the road and hailed a car.

******

Just now, after Lin Zhiyuan and others got in the car and left, Yuan Fei sat in the passenger seat as usual and sent Mr. Li home.

Mr. Li seemed a little unhappy and started criticizing Yuan Fei as soon as he got in the car.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you so reckless today? Do you know what the people from the large-scale working committee mean by coming to investigate? To put it nicely, they are here to integrate our companies, but to put it bluntly, they are here to revolutionize us. You usually look smart and clever, but how come you can't even understand this..."

Yuan Fei lowered his head and said nothing, allowing Mr. Li to criticize him.

Mr. Li spoke for a long time, and before getting off the car, he did not forget to ridicule Yuan Fei, "Our company will not make the little music listening thing that Lin Zhiyuan mentioned just now. I see that you are quite interested in it. Why not let your father's company do it? I wish you a lot of money!"

In the dark car, Yuan Fei clenched his fists and his breath became heavier. But in the end, he said nothing and got out of the car first, respectfully opened the back door and invited Mr. Li to get out.

After watching Mr. Li enter the stairwell, Yuan Fei did not take a taxi home as usual, but told the driver that he had something else to do and asked the driver to leave first.

He walked slowly along the street alone until Zhou Bosi called.

After talking to Zhou Bosi, Yuan Fei immediately took a taxi and drove towards Zhongguancun.

"Master, can you drive faster?" Yuan Fei was anxious and kept urging the driver.

******

Just as Yuan Fei was racing against time to get on the road, Zhan Daying, deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Information Industry, had already sent Jiang Fenglai home. At this moment, he was sitting in the car reporting today's research work to Minister Wu.

"Minister Wu, today the comrades of the large-scale working committee visited two units as planned. In the morning, they visited the Thirteenth Institute, and in the afternoon, they visited the Electronic Technology Company..."

"Minister Wu, Assistant Lin is a very pragmatic cadre. Something happened at the dinner table tonight..." Zhan Daying repeated Lin Zhiyuan's words at the dinner table in detail, and also talked about the performance of General Manager Li and Yuan Fei.

After listening to the speech, Minister Wu was very moved. "Some of our old comrades have become more and more stubborn and have completely forgotten that they were once scientific and technological workers. It seems that enterprise reform is imperative, and the sooner the better."

"Xiao Zhan, you must fully cooperate with the large-scale working committee during their investigation." Minister Wu said slowly, "Perhaps Lin Zhiyuan can really stir up this stagnant pool of ours..."

Qinyuanchun Teahouse, private room.

As soon as the breathless Yuan Fei entered the room, he took the initiative to jog over and stretched out his hands, "Assistant Lin, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"Xiao Yuan, come sit down, take a breath, and drink some tea." Lin Zhiyuan still admired the young man in front of him. Perhaps the breakthrough point of his plan lies in him.

"Xiao Yuan, I heard from Mr. Li that you once studied abroad in Germany?"

Yuan Fei hurriedly put down the cup that was just about to reach his lips and straightened his back. "Yes, Assistant Lin, I am a master's student at the School of Electronic Engineering of RWTH Aachen University. The MP3 technology you just mentioned was developed by the Fraunhofer Society, so I am more familiar with this aspect. However, this technology has always been used on desktop computers. Just now, Assistant Lin proposed the idea of ​​applying this function to portable appliances. No one has really thought of it. I think there is great potential for it."

Yuan Fei seemed very excited. "Assistant Lin, as an electronic engineering professional, I think your idea is of great economic value. If this technology can really be applied to portable electronic devices, it can completely replace the walkman and diskman on the market. In terms of convenience, these two products are definitely not as compact as the new electronic devices. In terms of storage, the new device with rewritable and reusable functions is also better than the two old devices. If this new device is really developed, users only need to download songs online and no longer need to buy expensive cassettes and CDs. From an economic point of view, even if it is more expensive, consumers will definitely consider future expenses and choose this new device first."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Yuan Fei in surprise. He didn't expect that this young man could summarize the major advantages of the new equipment so comprehensively in such a short time.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't even consider the market acceptance of the new equipment he mentioned.

Because the music player he just mentioned is the epoch-making product of Apple, the iPod. Once it was launched, it became an instant global hit, occupying more than 70% of the global market share, and directly announced the death countdown of the Walkman and Diskman.

This product has a dual disruptive significance. It not only pulled Apple back from the brink of bankruptcy to an upward track, it was one of the milestones in Apple's growth from an ordinary computer company to a world-leading technology company. It also set off a digital music revolution around the world. iPod is the first MP3 player to solve the technical problem of "capacity and weight cannot be achieved at the same time", and it is also the first product to bundle Internet music and portable music players.

Lin Zhiyuan remembered that the iPod should have been launched after 2001. If he raced against time and released this product ahead of time next year, then a huge fortune would surely come from nowhere, and perhaps it would be able to save the Chinese electronic companies that were in dire straits.

It’s a pity that old-school entrepreneurs represented by Mr. Li cannot see this, so they place their hopes on young people like Yuan Fei.
