A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 524 Future Development

Now Lu Cheng returned to the Lin family as if he was back home, and he did not consider himself an outsider at all. Lin Guodong and his wife, as well as many relatives of the Lin family, had long since recognized Lu Cheng as the son-in-law of the Lin family.

When the food was served and the family started to eat, Qiu Ping couldn't help but show concern: "Lu Cheng, you are a graduate student now, and you are also running such a big company and managing such a big factory. You must be very tired, right? Come, eat more."

"Thank you, Aunt Qiu. Actually, everything is fine. My subordinates are very capable, and there are not many things that I need to be responsible for."

Qiu Ping glanced at her daughter again: "Jingjing, Lu Cheng is busy outside, you should take better care of him, let him eat on time, and drink less when socializing."

"I understand, Mom. Now you are not as close to me, your daughter, as you are to Lu Cheng."

"A son-in-law is half a son. Mom wanted a son back then... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Eat quickly."

Lin Guodong at the side asked again: "Lu Cheng, your MP3 has only been sold for a few months, and you have launched the MP4. Will you launch other products soon? What are you going to do in the future?"

"Now the factory needs to accumulate more technology and a group of skilled workers. If we want to maintain a leading position in the market, we must continue to make progress and always master the leading technology. Therefore, Juzi will invest more energy in technology research and development in the future."

Lin Guodong nodded: "Yes, technology is the primary productive force. I don't really understand these, but you young people have the ideas. By the way, you..."

Lin Guodong wanted to say something else, but Qiu Ping interrupted him and said, "Old Lin, why do you have so much to say? Can't you let the child eat a meal in peace first?"

"Ah, yes, yes, eat first and try this. Your aunt made this especially for you..."

Obviously, Lao Lin's current status in the family is the last.

After dinner, Lin Jingyi helped Qiu Ping clean up the dishes, Lu Cheng played a game of chess with Lao Lin, and the family sat together again and talked about the future.

"With Jingjing's current academic progress, she should be able to graduate a year early next year. By then, Jingjing can also go to graduate school. It's also because you two are not old enough yet, otherwise you could get married earlier, and we would have less worries. We could also help you take care of the children while you are still young."

Although Lu Cheng has successfully completed his undergraduate studies, he has just turned 20 years old and is still two years away from the legal age for marriage. He will have to wait a little longer if he wants to get a marriage certificate.

Of course, you can also get married first and then get a marriage certificate. This situation is still common in rural areas.

"Uncle, aunt, I want to buy a house first, put it in Jingjing's name, renovate it well, and use it as our wedding house in two years. If you are free recently, let's go look at houses together as a family."

After hearing this, Lin Jingyi was a little surprised and touched. Obviously, Lu Cheng did not tell her in advance.

Qiu Ping was also very happy, but still said, "Buying a house is the right thing to do. House prices have been rising in the past two years. But you are running such a big business now, so you must have more places to spend money. In my opinion, why don't your uncle Lin and I use our savings to buy you a house for you to live in first. As for the house, it doesn't matter how big it is, as long as it is enough for you to live in."

Lin Guodong also nodded and said, "Your Aunt Qiu is right. We have worked hard for most of our lives and have saved up some money. We will leave all of this to Jingjing in the future. Let us pay for the house for you."

Lin Jingyi also said: "If you want to buy a house for me, you can't use your money."

Lu Cheng smiled slightly, took Lin Jingyi's hand and put it in his palm: "What do you mean by yours and mine? Why do you have to distinguish them so clearly? Uncle Lin and Aunt Qiu's money should be left for them to spend. A house doesn't cost much, do we still need to argue over this little money? Okay, listen to me."

"Then write half on each side, with your two young couple's names together."

"Yes, we are marrying our daughter, not selling her."

Seeing that the three people were determined, Lu Cheng had to obey the majority and could only nod in agreement.

For a period of time afterwards, Lu Cheng would take time out every day to take his family around to look at houses.

After five or six days of screening, we finally found a nearly ready-to-move-in house located between Juzi Company and Dongda University and successfully purchased it.

Lu Cheng did not buy any luxury villas, but just chose a mid-to-high-end residential area and bought a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment of about 120 to 130 square meters.

As for houses, I won’t just buy this one, I will continue to buy in the future.

After buying the house, Qiu Ping also had some feelings: "It's only been a few months, and the housing prices have risen so much. Lao Lin, do you think we should use all our family savings to buy a house?"

Lin Guodong looked at Lu Cheng: "Lu Cheng, what do you think?"

Lu Cheng nodded: "Of course, if you want to invest, I suggest you buy a house in Shanghai, the appreciation rate will be even greater."

Qiu Ping hesitated: "Isn't the Demon City too far away? It's hundreds of kilometers away, and we can't go there normally."

"It's for investment anyway, so I just buy it, do some simple renovation, and then rent it out to an agency."

Qiu Ping is a surgeon at a large hospital in Jinling, and Lao Lin is a high school teacher. The couple has a decent income, and their savings are enough to buy a house in Shanghai. They can just wait for the house to appreciate in value in the future.

Of course, even if the old couple has no savings, Lu Cheng will naturally not treat his future father-in-law and mother-in-law unfairly.

After buying the house, Lu Cheng devoted his energy to study and work again.

Today, Orange MP4 has completely opened up the European and American markets, with a large number of orders arriving one after another. The Orange Electronics Factory has also been expanding its staff, and the number of employees has reached more than , and is still increasing.

The factory has established a strict training system and reasonable process specifications in the way that old employees guide new employees, so as to ensure quality while continuously improving efficiency.

After being tested in the market, the new generation of MP4 has also undergone a series of optimizations to make the product more perfect.

By the end of December, sales of the new generation of MP12s had reached 4 million units, but most of them were sold overseas.

The sales volume of the first generation of Teana MP3 players in China has exceeded 200 million units, with a domestic market share of over 40%, which has completely occupied half of the domestic MP3 market.

At the same time, the "mobile phone approval system" that lasted for five years was also cancelled in 04 and replaced by the "mobile phone approval system."

The two systems do not seem to be much different, but the latter is more supportive of the development of domestic mobile phone brands. Various new domestic brands have been born, such as Gionee, Tianyu, ZTE, etc.

If the early mobile phone brands represented by "Bird" are regarded as the first generation of mobile phone brands, then the mobile phone brands represented by "Gionee" are the second generation of domestic mobile phone brands.

Although the Bird brand has been glorious for several years, it is destined to have only a short-lived glory because it invested most of its money and energy in advertising, only knew how to do marketing but not how to do research and development, lacked core technology, had poor quality control and low quality.

The first generation of mobile phones is about to decline, and the second generation of mobile phones is about to come on stage.

In early 2005, with the support of the Jinling Municipal Government, Orange Technology successfully obtained a mobile phone license.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also asked Luo Yang to contact major headhunting companies to recruit a group of truly capable technical backbones from the declining generation of mobile phone brands.

At the same time, at the annual meeting, Lu Cheng summarized the gains and losses of the past year and also made a new plan for 05, which is to make mobile phones.

Of course, the first mobile phone of Orange Company was destined to not be able to achieve complete technological independence, and many things still had to be purchased from outside.

The software is easy to develop, but the hardware cannot be developed in just one or two years.

Even though Lu Cheng has technology that is a century ahead, research and development in certain areas will inevitably cost a lot of money and require a large number of highly professional talents, such as the most core chips.

With the current size of Juzi Technology, even if all the funds are invested in research and development, it is difficult to produce its own chips in a short period of time. Therefore, Juzi still needs to accumulate and settle down.

Just like Juzi MP4, the reason why it can lead the market is that it relies on more advanced software technology to maximize the performance of the hardware. In terms of hardware alone, it is at the current mid-to-high-end level in the market.

It really doesn't feel good that software is restricted by hardware.
