Chapter 264 Portable CD Player(2/2)
Although the price may be much reduced compared to desktop computers, it will still instantly win the Walkman in terms of sound quality, even for high-end models.
However, although the sound quality portable CD player is better, the workmanship is definitely not as exquisite as the latter.
The two sides are balanced, and the price of 50,000 yen is reasonable, and such a pricing is more easily accepted by the public.
Think about it, Sony and Panasonic are priced at more than 150,000 yuan, and Shirakawa Electric only has the same thing of 50,000 yuan!
I'll ask if you're excited, not only that Shirakawa Electric's products can also be taken out to install X~
That's right, Shirakawa Kaede is preparing to be a price butcher again.
"In terms of cost, the portable CD machine will be replaced with the SIC's 8-bit chip, and the 16-bit chip will be used on desktop computers.
As for the laser head, we also developed it ourselves, and these two core components are determined.
You can decide the remaining materials yourself, in short, the price must be controlled within 50,000 yen.
Even if the first generation of portable CDs reduces profits, they must be promoted.
The cost of production processes can be continuously reduced as the shipment volume increases.
So don’t worry about temporary gains and losses, and take a long-term vision.”
Shirakawa Electric can satisfy himself both the two core cores of the CD machine.
This has an absolute advantage in cost control.
The 8-bit chip of SIC is under development and will definitely catch up next year. According to the current production cost, it will be up to one or two thousand yen.
Even if you replace the 8-bit enhanced version of SIC8089, it will cost only 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. Including the two or 3,000 yen for the laser head, the addition of the two can basically ensure that it is within 10,000 yen.
If some other components, metal shells, can be controlled within 20,000 to 30,000 yen, then the price of 50,000 yen is not a luxury.
Originally, Shirakawa Kaede planned to directly use a 16-bit chip, after all, the stronger the decoding ability, the better the sound quality.
However, portable CD machines have already been positioned at the low end, so it is natural to replace chips with cheaper ones.
After roughly determining the direction, Yasuda and the others said they could work hard in this direction.
"By the way, President, what name should our CD machine be named?" Hasegawa of the marketing department is more concerned about the promotion of the product after it is launched.
Give a suitable name for a new product, it will undoubtedly be a plus.
What is the name of Shirakawa Electric's CD machine? A ray of light flashed in Shirakawa's eyes.
