Chapter 242 Time Management Master

After hanging up the phone, Shirakawa Kaede put his finger on his chin and began to think carefully.

Nobuo Oga seems to have not put his thoughts on the Walkman business at all.

When Shirakawa Kaede just asked, he could even hear the sound of him flipping through the report opposite him.

As for what the other party said was fluctuating, he didn't believe a word.

Shirakawa Electric's revenue has dropped by almost one-fifth, and Sony's relative price will also drop by at least 15%.

After more than a year of competition between the two parties, they are generally aware of each other's actual market share.

Oga Nobuo's ambiguous answer either deliberately blurred the statement or did not pay much attention to information in this regard.

And according to what Shirakawa Kaede heard from the phone just now, it is probably the latter.

So what does Dahe Dianxiong really care about? Of course it is a CD machine.

Just as Hitaro Nakajima said last time in Izakaya, CD is Sony's next strategic focus.

Oga Nobuo devoted all his attention to the development of CD machines, and from his tone on the phone, it seemed that it was making good progress.

Reminding the bold statement he made at the international audio conference held in Tokyo last time, he will launch a commercial CD machine next year.

Shirakawa Kaede could almost conclude that the prototype of the Sony CD machine should be coming out soon or already coming out.

It is worthy of being a giant in the electronic technology industry, with amazing R&D power.

Shirakawa Electric is currently developing its own CD machine, but the progress is hard to describe.

Last week, the 16-bit chips from SIC were successfully discharged, and Shirakawa Kaede gave some to Shirakawa Electrical Appliances and HAL Research Institute.

When new chips are released, everything will not be fine if you pass the test.

What really tests it is of course the actual product application.

Whether there are unknown bugs or defects will be discovered one after another in subsequent practice.

The SIC8081 is used for audio decoding in Shirakawa Electric, and in HAL it is used as a home game console CPU.

While developing the next generation of products, you can also work together with the cooperation between your own designers and chips, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the CD machine project has been scheduled for nearly a year, and the chip delivery has been more than a week, so I just don’t know how it is going now.

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Kaede simply stood up and walked downstairs.

Now Shirakawa Electric's production is basically concentrated in Kawasaki, but the research and development is still retained in Ota District.

With the mobilization of the Tokyo government, more and more factories began to move out.

Because Shirakawa Electric makes electronic products and most of its components are assembled and there is no pollution, the factory is still retained.

However, according to his estimate, he will not last for a few years, and it is likely that all of them will be moved within two or three years.

Soon we arrived at the R&D department on the second floor, and under the leadership of Yasuda and others, Shirakawa Kaede entered the R&D center.

"Is this our CD machine?" Shirakawa Kaede looked at the machine posing in front of him, his brows almost frowned into the word "大".

This is not a CD player, and people believe it to be a large TV.

The rough appearance and bulky size are simply a "silly big guy".

This has nothing to do with Shirakawa Kaede's impression that the tall CD player is completely unrelated.

"Now it's just for simulation, it's not considered a prototype." Yasuda, who was a little embarrassed, quickly explained.

Not a prototype? Tsk, this news is mixed.

The good thing is that Shirakawa Electric's future CD phone will not be as ugly as it is now.

The bad thing is that there is not even a prototype, which means the progress is worrying.

"Have the chip been replaced?" Just slow down, but Shirakawa Kaede is more concerned about the performance of the chip.

Yasuda nodded when he heard his question, "It's already replaced."

"How is it?" Shirakawa Kaede looked expectant.

"Although there are some minor flaws, the overall performance is excellent!"

Speaking of this, Yasuda was a little excited. The decoding chip they used before was an 8-bit processor.

Digital audio has made too much progress compared to analog audio. Even experimental products are better than Shirakawa Electric's current high-end walkman in terms of sound quality.

Now that you can change to a 16-bit chip, there is no need to say, Niu Bi PLUS!

"San Shirakawa, listen to it yourself." As she said that, Yasuda had already found a CD, then opened the "silly" warehouse door in front of her and stuffed it in.

After pressing the opening key, you can quickly see the silver disc inside turning quickly through the transparent warehouse door.

Then a red laser beam above the inside of the machine shot onto the disc surface.

Soon the excitement of cello sounded, this was Beethoven's "The Ninth Symphony".

When Shirakawa Kaede's frown suddenly loosened when he heard the music, he didn't listen to the music.

But the clear sound quality and clean atmosphere are really outstanding.

Let’s not talk about the metaphysical problem of sound quality, the almost non-existent noise floor will hit current tape drives.

After all, it is analog audio, and the noise of tape friction is clearly audible to the human ears.

But the stupid guy in front of him didn't have this problem at all, and his voice was too clean.

As expected, the technology that can be regarded as a strategic focus by Sony does have its killer weapon.

Although the machine is a bit ugly, it can finally work.

Shirakawa Kaede took a photo and the silly man in front of him, "It's too big. What we are doing is consumer electronics, and exquisiteness is the eternal theme."

"Hay" Yasuda nodded to show his understanding.

"Record all the problems encountered during the actual use process, and the SIC will be responsible for doing separate optimizations later."

Nowadays, chips are just experimental products, and there is still a long way to go to commercial use.

After watching the development of the CD machine, Shirakawa Kaede had a rough idea in his mind.

It is estimated that Shirakawa Electric's CD machine will not be matured and put into commercial use until next year at least.

The CD machine was developed in an orderly manner, and the progress of the SIC was also going smoothly.

All important tasks this year are being carried out as planned, and Shirakawa Kaede has also relaxed a lot.

Taking advantage of his joy, at the end of April, he was going to go to the Hong Kong District to see a high-end apartment he had bought before.

The property here was asked by Nomura Securities to help select the place.

But last time I just took a rough look and didn't care anymore.

Now two or three months have passed, and the home improvement service company has already completed the layout of this place.

"Wow, it's so spacious!" As soon as Matsuda Shengzi opened the door, he was shocked by the inhuman entrance in front of him.

That’s right, the one who accompanied him to see the house today was Matsuda Holyko.

Her concert was not over yet, but she took advantage of the time to change venues and ran out of her busy schedule.

At this moment, seeing the mansion in front of you, the little tiger's teeth were exposed.

The marble floor that can be seen from others and the fine lines on the wall are simple and elegant without being dazzling.

This entrance is just over ten square meters, and the wooden door in the cloakroom on the left is obviously made of precious wood.

After opening the spacious walk-in cloakroom, she screamed excitedly.

Then he kept going around the entrance and heading straight to the living room.

"Shirakawa, it's really luxurious!"

Shirakawa Kaede, who was changing shoes in the entrance hall from afar, could hear her screams.

He smiled and stepped into the living room.

A floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall make the living room open and bright.

At this moment, Matsuda Holyko was lying in front of the glass curtain wall and looking into the distance.

"Shirakawa, Tokyo Tower!" Matsuda Shengko pointed to the Tokyo Tower not far from the window and sighed excitedly.

The apartment here in Minato is close to Tokyo Tower, and because it is a high-rise, the prosperity at your feet is unobstructed.

Looking up, the Tokyo Tower in front of me was within reach.

"I never thought that my place would be so close to Tokyo Tower."

Seeing her bent down and lying in front of her, it was really seductive.

Shirakawa Kaede simply hugged her from behind and felt the softness of her body.
