Adhering to the principle of "taking from society and giving back to society," and to document the company's journey of striving and growth, Yih Sheng Electronics Corporation, a company rooted in "Mobile Audiovisual Technology" and located in the Zhongli Industrial Area, established the "Yih Sheng Museum of Relics" on its 30th anniversary and opened it to the public for free visits. This provides visitors with an immersive, firsthand experience to understand the essence of Taiwan's electronic industry's development history. Upon entry, the first sight is a large-scale "Global Network" display showcasing Yih Sheng Electronics' worldwide layout, including factories in Malaysia, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The 100-ping museum is divided into five exhibition areas:
1. The **Historical Timeline Exhibition Area** records pivotal milestones in the company's development, accompanied by rare historical photos and key products from each stage. For example, the earliest radio-clock developed in 1965 is exhibited.
2. The **Historical Artifact Area** showcases the origin of the company's establishment and the museum's founding, including the company's first order, first employee ID, first trophy, and first in-house publication. Every artifact narrates a small story from the past. At the "Origins of the Company" panel, founder Peng Junping recounts the challenges of initial fundraising and the frugality strategy of assembling equipment with secondhand components to save costs. The story behind the naming of the company, "Yih Sheng," is also shared: to counter prevalent Chinese habits of careless, "good enough" work, the English name "ACTION" was chosen. However, considering that the Chinese term for "action" is forceful, the name was softened to its Mandarin homophone "Yih Sheng," symbolizing "recollecting treasured sounds," aligning with its audio-related products. The **Management Principles** panel reveals Yih Sheng's success factors, including a "Twelve Abilities of a Manager" and "Twelve Taboos of a Manager," emphasizing leadership qualities like identifying talent, persistence, flexibility, and avoidance of complacency, excess, or indecisiveness.
3. The **Historical and Contemporary Product Exhibition Area** displays products from revenue levels of NT$1.5 million to NT$1.5 billion. These items share a playful tradition dubbed the "Nine-digit Spell"—each transitional product era features a "golden model," the most popular and longest-producers, whose four-digit model numbers total to nine. Examples include radio models ACN-711, ACN-810, ACN-900; telephones ACN-81, ACN-90; single-card portable stereos (4050), double-card portable stereos (5040), black-and-white TVs (6030, 6201, 7200). The consistency of digits totaling nine seems a magical "auspicious omen" for business success.
4. The **Premium Products Area** highlights items produced since 2004, displayed creatively with glass beads, lace, and shells to emphasize refinement in electronics.
5. The **New Product Demonstration Area** allows visitors to interact with cutting-edge technologies.
A tour of Yih Sheng's museum reveals how the company grew from a small factory with NT$2 million in capital to a multinational giant with operations spanning five continents and NT$15 billion in revenue. Beyond timely product innovation, strategic financial planning, and global expansion, the consistent trait of employees working collaboratively toward shared vision likely underpins Yih Sheng's enduring success.
