    After half a year of legal battle, the small pirate Anten Renpei finally got the court¡¯s final verdict and he lost the case.  However, the court did not support Taiyu Technology¡¯s request for compensation of 240 million yen. It only symbolically asked Renpei Anten¡¯s company to pay 100,000 US dollars, or 24 million yen, in compensation.  This little money is not even enough to pay the lawyer¡¯s fees!  Guan Fei was very satisfied with this.  Piracy is a very troublesome problem, because it is not actually an economic problem, but a political problem! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? From pirated software to copycat mobile phones, from Walkmans to tablets, countless top companies in the world can only gnash their teeth secretly in the face of the fierce domestic piracy wave, and occasionally catch an unlucky guy and beat him to death.  ¡°Internationally famous companies like Microsoft and Apple are helpless against piracy. Can Guan Fei be more powerful than these companies?  The lawsuit filed by the legal team is not to wipe out pirates. The biggest role is to clear the name globally.  Use a tough attitude and fierce methods to let everyone understand - see clearly, I invented this thing. Even if you buy pirated goods, you have to understand that I am the owner of the rights to this product.  !  There is only one benefit to doing this: breaking through patent restrictions!     right!  That¡¯s the purpose.  Guan Fei did not expect to receive much patent fees, but he crossed the threshold by himself and became the inventor of this product, and obliterated the developed countries' method of using patents to restrict less developed countries, thus entering the field openly.  Without a patent, there is no patent. I can¡¯t receive a patent, but you don¡¯t want to use a patent to restrict me!  So far, this tactic is relatively successful.  Due to the huge impact of "Space Invaders", the whole world knows that it was the first invention of Taiyu Technology. Therefore, although pirates are rampant, everyone is making a fortune silently, and no one jumps out to say that they are the "Space Invaders"  The original developer.  Together with this, the frame design and panel layout of the arcade machine also successfully passed the review of the patent offices of various countries, and became the patent of Taiyu Technology.  And the victory of the first patent rights protection also allowed Taiyu Technology to begin to receive patent authorization applications from some small manufacturers, which can more or less make up for the expenses of some patent lawsuits.  ¡°Perhaps for this reason, except for some family-owned enterprises that sneak into the market, there are no large-scale competitors for electronic building blocks yet.  Sales of electronic building blocks are good, and Pan Meifeng is full of energy and works hard every day.  This made Zhou Xiaoshan complain very much, saying that it was more difficult to see her than to see Guan Fei now.  Within three sentences of meeting each other, he would start talking about Hasbro, electronic building blocks, and Transformers.  Pan Meifeng didn¡¯t even have time to listen to complaints.  Electronic building blocks are so popular right now. Orders are pouring in from all over the world. The orders for 100,000 sets in the first month have been filled, and new orders have been extended to two months later.  After the separation of production and sales, she only focused on production, and then packaged and wholesaled them to Sagitar Trading at a price of US$49 per set.  But the two companies in the same system are also arguing over whether the wholesale price is the FOB price or the CIF price.  Of course Pan Meifeng hopes it will be FOB price.  The so-called FOB price means that the manufacturer delivers the goods to the ship, and the responsibility ends here.  Manufacturers ignore a series of expenses such as shipping, losses in transit, terminal loading and unloading, and onshore distribution.  On an FOB basis, that $49 is close to net income.  And of course Sagitar Trading will not do it.  ?We are all in this industry, and everyone knows the cost of manufacturing plastic components. Even if electronic components are embedded, it will only cost a few dollars.  A set of electronic building blocks with a retail price of US$99 has an actual manufacturing cost of only a dozen Hong Kong dollars, or about US$3.  Based on the FOB price, Hasbro¡¯s profits are ridiculously high.  Their business marketing also involves hiring experts to build momentum and advertising in the early stage, and the investment is much greater than that of manufacturers.  They absolutely cannot accept Pan Meifeng¡¯s calculation method.  Guan Fei just watched the disputes between the two sides and occasionally tried to persuade them to make peace.  No matter whose pocket the money goes into, it ultimately belongs to him.  Whether it is Hasbro or Sagitar Trading, they are all designed to establish a complete civilian production and marketing network.  As long as you don¡¯t lose money, that¡¯s enough.  After all, it is a toy project, and the number of electronic components that can be digested is less than a fraction of the monthly production capacity of the military division. His focus is not here.  His focus is on several audio products being developed in the new era, which will be the highlight of the future consumption of large amounts of components!  ¡­?Xu Jiajun, a former toy company engineer who met Jiang Zeshui on the Kowloon bus, was frowning and thinking hard in front of a design drawing.  With many years of practical experience, he easily passed the recruitment, resigned from his position in the toy factory, and came to the new era.  New Era is not located in Taiyu Building, but a few hundred meters away. It rented an entire building and renovated it.  When the factory was being renovated from the first to the sixth floors, the company had already organized these new designers into three design teams on the eighth floor, purchased various R&D equipment, and each had its own laboratory.  All the equipment is very sophisticated, which shows that the company is hungry for talents. ?????????????????????????? As soon as we entered the company, we shouldered the heavy responsibility of the company¡¯s future product research and development, which made all the designers frightened and wished they could use their lifelong learning to let the company recognize their professional and technical abilities.  Jiang Zeshui¡¯s team is responsible for the project of a portable radio player, and the official product name will be the Walkman in the future.  Because of his high electronic research and development capabilities, he was promoted to deputy leader of the project team.  Here, he finally realized the joy of truly developing a project.  Compared with the complex structure of the Walkman, the electronic toys he developed in the past were too crude to be worth mentioning.  And his many years of front-line work experience made him realize how promising the project he developed would be in the future.  Thinking of the vast market for Walkmans in the future, he excitedly knew that his name would probably be forever recorded in the history of electronic technology because of this product!  The greater the expectations, the greater the psychological pressure.  Such an epoch-making product is about to be designed by our own team. This is both an incentive and a great mental pressure.  How to design a perfect electronic product has become a heavy burden in the minds of every designer in the design team.  Hong Kong is famous for its electronic toys, but its design capabilities for other electronic products are almost zero.  There is no high-quality acoustic laboratory and no strong technical accumulation here. When Xu Jiajun and others first took over this project, they didn¡¯t even know where to start.  Especially the Walkman indicators that the company set for their project team made everyone feel desperate.  The length is thirteen centimeters and not more than fourteen centimeters, the height is eight centimeters and not more than nine centimeters, and the thickness is not more than three centimeters.  This size is too harsh!  A music tape is only a few centimeters long and only about one centimeter thick.  This means that the front of the Walkman is basically occupied by the tape, and all mechanical transmission components and circuits must be compressed behind the tape, within a narrow range slightly larger than the tape.  Xu Jiajun had never had any experience in developing audio equipment, so he was completely at a loss when faced with the drawings.  The members of the project team were all stupid. They came with great ambitions. When the company actually arranged a research and development project for them, everyone could see how potential this project was, but they just couldn't make it, and they couldn't draw a single picture.  !  Many people begin to doubt themselves and suspect that they are not capable of engaging in real product development work. What may be suitable for them is to make simple electronic toys.  Xu Jiajun also felt that he was about to collapse, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.  Fortunately, the company did not make things difficult for them.  The company found them a large number of audio circuit drawings, power amplifier circuit drawings, and mechanical transmission mechanism drawings.  There are also ready-made suitable tape recorders and desktop tape recorders in complete units and spare parts for them to analyze and study.  In this way, they embarked on a difficult road of research and development.  With something to refer to, these veterans who are familiar with plagiarism and counterfeiting finally found an idea.  I drew sketches one by one and revised them little by little.  The mechanical structure is first copied from the cassette recorder, and then the transmission data is calculated based on the size and major changes are made.  The cassette recorder has a flat horizontal layout, and the buttons are push-down.  The Walkman can be regarded as an upright cassette recorder, so the original direction of the buttons is equivalent to pressing sideways, which is very uncomfortable, so it should be changed to pressing downwards along the direction of the body.  ??If a button action changes, the overall mechanical structure will also be greatly changed.  All designers go to great lengths to cut out and reduce the thickness and width of mechanical transmission parts.  In order to save space, they will also try to reduce transmission parts as much as possible, and various transmission parts will also be modified to reduce the size as much as possible while ensuring transmission efficiency and strength.  The drawing in front of Xu Jiajun is already the twelfth one he has drawn.  Comparing to the original version??The thick and clumsy structure, this version is already quite sophisticated, but he is still not satisfied.  Xu Jiajun rubbed his sore eyes and decided to take a short rest.  He got up and poured himself a cup of hot coffee, then walked out of the design room with the cup in hand and went to the sample display room outside.  There are all kinds of tape recorders here.  At present, popular recorders on the market are usually very large in size, so the official name of home recording equipment is usually desktop audio, which consists of a recording deck, radio, equalizer, power amplifier, etc., which together form a huge box.  There are also small ones, that is, cassette recorders and car recorders. ? Structurally speaking, these two are the same thing.  The cassette recorder is a long, flat box with an openable plastic cover right above it. After opening, you can put the audio tape in, it will automatically lock, and then close the cover.  The car recorder is a cassette recorder embedded in the car dashboard, but the tape feed mechanism is slightly different, it is an open opening.  There is an automatic transmission device at the tape inlet. The cassette is sent in and the switch is triggered. The transmission device sends the cassette in and clamps it automatically.  He is already familiar with the mechanical structures of these two recorders.  Xu Jiajun turned around and looked at the newly delivered tape recorder on a decorated table, with a look of intoxication in his eyes.  This newly delivered recorder is a development project of another R&D team: a portable cassette recorder!  Although they were both developing projects, that team was much more relaxed than them.  This portable cassette recorder has a drawing directly on it, and they just need to assemble it according to the drawing.  This kind of work can be done by ordinary technicians without any difficulty at all.  And the movement of the portable recorder is also a finished product sent from mainland China.  ¡°Compared with the arduous research and development process of their Walkman team, the portable recorder team is simply too happy.  Xu Jiajun walked to the booth, stretched out his right index finger above the portable tape recorder, and pressed it. The lock of the tape compartment door below was released, and it popped out quickly with a snap.  He closed the door thoughtfully, pressed the switch again, and the door popped up again.  There is no need for the R&D team to dismantle this recorder into eight pieces. Its spare parts are placed next to it, as well as a disassembled movement assembly.  This kind of movement is actually completely consistent with the design idea of ??the Walkman they are going to develop! ? Mechanical transmission structure, button direction, tape transport mechanism, cassette locking design, and design ideas have all reached his ideal standard!  It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this movement is reduced in size, it can be directly used in a walkman!  Xu Jiajun opened and closed it many times and sighed deeply.  In fact, he already understood that the company asked them to develop the Walkman just to test their actual working ability.  Through this portable recorder, he understood that the company had already had complete design drawings. Taking out the portable recorder so quickly was to open their eyes and give them a clear reference to understand how to design a Walkman.  ¡°Otherwise, if we really pin our hopes on this group of inexperienced R&D personnel, we may not be able to produce a mature product for a year and a half.  As for how to reduce the size of functional circuits, in fact, this portable recorder also gives the answer: that is to use a large number of integrated circuits!  In this one and a half foot long portable recorder, more than a dozen dedicated audio integrated circuits are used to condense many audio function circuits into small integrated blocks, and then together with other auxiliary circuits, form a complete power amplifier  audio system.  As far as he knows, these audio integrated circuits also come from mainland China.  Xu Jiajun opened the lid and did not close it again this time. Instead, he took out a tape from the box on the side and put it into the tape bin before closing the lid. ? Press the play button, first there is a short blank transport time.  He listened carefully and saw that the speakers on both sides of the recorder did not emit the familiar noise of electricity and were very quiet.  A few seconds later, the music slowly started to sound from low to loud.  "As I send you to the outside of the small village, I have something to tell you. Although the flowers are already in bloom, you should not pick the wild flowers on the roadside" Teresa Teng's joyful singing voice came from the brisk music.  Xu Jiajun has never been engaged in music circuit development before, and he does not have a golden ear, but he can clearly hear that the sound effect of this portable recorder is excellent.  The treble is fast, the bass is powerful, and the audio is very clear without any sloppiness.  The musical expression displayed by such a recorder is no weaker than that of desktop speakers! ?He sighed again.  In his opinion, this portable recorder was naturally designed and developed by mainland R&D personnel. Looking at their works, and then looking at their difficult R&D path, he once thought that the little superiority of being well-informed could no longer be achieved.  Keep.  In Teresa Teng¡¯s beautiful singing voice, Xu Jiajun finally found his position.  He is not a senior R&D person. What makes him attractive to the company is his technical skills in electronic product development for many years.  When it comes to R&D capabilities, the mainland is even more unfathomable and cannot be compared to him.  ¡°I don¡¯t want to be too ambitious anymore, I¡¯d better be a technical expert honestly
