In July 1987, it was time for Shirakawa Electric’s annual product launch event.

With continuous in-depth development in various fields, Shirakawa Electric's product lineup has become increasingly enriched.

A few years ago, whenever a new product came out, there would probably be a wave of advertising in the media.

Then the new product is introduced to the market, which is considered to have completed the release task.

However, after Shirakawa Electric went on the market, special press conferences were held every year for the launch of new products.

After all, it is a listed company, and its annual press conference is the highlight. Many financial institutions are waiting for this round to harvest leeks.

And with the continuous innovation, Shirakawa Electric’s product launch conference is also very interesting.

In this era, there are not many companies that can make products carefully.

Didn’t you see that Sony and Panasonic have specialized subsidiaries engaged in investment activities in the financial market?

Behind you, a brand new TV is shining brightly on the screen.

It took half of the press conference to introduce the ordinary products, and then came the specialty products of Shirakawa Electric.

LED screens use LED tubes as light sources, and LCDs are mostly classified as incandescent lamps.

But the vast market has made up for the previous decline in profits.

Careful people can find that Shirakawa Electric's new generation CD players spin the disc for a period of time before starting to play music.

The former can only light up some pixels in the display, but the LCD is globally controlled, which is why the power consumption of the two is so different.

With Apple OS systems and Microsoft Windows systems, they have gradually begun to support the use of CD-ROM optical drives.

Especially for customized signature models, Shirakawa Electric does not make finished products, but only accepts reservations.

As for the price of a 19-inch LCD TV, it is as high as more than 500,000 yuan, and a 14-inch LED TV is even more expensive, almost close to one million.

Shirakawa Electric's LCD TVs are world-famous, and the World Expo that year won it a lot of fame.

In addition to these, Shirakawa Electric has also launched limited editions of these two products.

Obviously, they are not products for civilians at all. After all, they are black technology that is unique in the world, and it is normal to sell them expensively.

With the advent of the bubble era, Sharp Trading was busy with "Six Ghosts Haunting Tokyo", while Shirakawa Electric was still immersed in the laboratory.

"Speaking of the Walkman, we have to mention its good brother, the portable CD player."

This may be the last time that he will host a new product launch conference of Shirakawa Electric. Baichuan Feng looked at the jubilant stage below and secretly sighed.

"As we all know, Shirakawa Electric opened the commercial era of LCD screens.

Therefore, whether it is a game console or a CD player, Shirakawa Electric began to use larger memory chips to replace the original design.

Bai Chuanfeng stretched his hand behind him, and a huge screen lit up with two brand-new Walkmans and CD players.

"In 1987, more than eight years have passed since the establishment of Shirakawa Electric. Last month, Shirakawa Electric's eighth birthday just passed.

As the developer of the world's first portable CD player, Shirakawa Electric is the absolute authority in this regard.

However, due to the maturity of technology and the reduction of costs, prices and profits are much lower than before.

What was playing on the big screen at this time was an advertisement for an LED display. Indeed, the latest generation of LEDs is obviously visually better than LCDs.

The previous idling is actually storing data, and the sound that the human ear actually hears is the data read from the cache chip after a delay.

Its response speed is a thousand times that of LCD, and it is even better in color.

LED light sources were gradually discovered in the 1960s. Its response speed is at the nanometer level, while the response speed of LCDs using incandescent lamps as light sources is at the millimeter level.

"Oh~!" There was a burst of applause from the audience.

We can laser engrave the signatures that customers want to leave on the surface of the machine.

This price immediately aroused everyone's cheers as soon as it was announced, even though the bubble era has arrived.

This mechanism of pre-storing data for a few seconds can basically solve vibration scenarios in most cases.

Now, the FM series of Walkmans have completed a gorgeous transformation, becoming more sophisticated and professional."

Besides, Shirakawa Electric can set a price of 100,000 yen and not worry about selling it, but because it has to consider the overseas market, it cannot just consider neon when it comes to pricing.

So the length of time has nothing to do with the club’s creativity, we are proud of these eight years!”

"In this golden age, Shirakawa Electric also brings more surprises to everyone this year."

Although the Walkman has been developed for many years, and there are alternatives such as CD players, there is no doubt that it still has a large number of fans.

"LED LCD display, a brand new display liquid crystal display technology.

"It is well known that CD players in the past were very 'fragile' and subjected to strenuous exercise, such as running and jumping.

Sharp, who was a step behind, was still struggling to catch up, but it was still a little behind.

At the same time, the power consumption of LED is only 10% of LCD, and its service life is also longer.”

There are too many. In eight years we have brought too many ideas to everyone.

Standing on the stage, he couldn't see clearly the faces of the people below, but the twinkling lights of the stars and the waving arms all showed how happy everyone was at this time.

In this case, the CD player often stops working, or simply misses some signals.

But in just eight years, Shirakawa Electric has brought countless new products to everyone.

Alas, they have all fallen, Bai Chuanfeng was heartbroken.

When the cheers below the stage gradually subsided, Shirakawa Kaede picked up the microphone again.

A high-end CD player with an ESP anti-vibration system costs 79,800 yen, a mid-range one costs 58,000 yen, and a low-end one costs 39,800 yen.

In fact, this method is no longer considered earthquake resistance, but a means of avoidance.

Different from the previous U-shaped caliper, this time Shirakawa Electric's solution is to start from the electronic level.

In fact, LED is also a type of LCD, the only difference is the light source used.

Of course, high-end prices are more expensive than before, but because of major breakthroughs in technology, it is understandable to set high prices.

The cheapest limited editions cost more than 150,000 yen, and customized editions cost hundreds of thousands.

Facts have proved that Shirakawa Electric has not given up on innovating in the Walkman and is still making progress every year.

Nowadays, optical drives and optical disc recorders are slowly entering the homes of ordinary people, and sales have more than doubled compared to before.

“The new Dolby sound effect has been applied to the new generation of Walkman, which not only supports dynamic balance adjustment of sound effects, but also AM/FM band frequency modulation function.

Ahem~ In short, as a technology company, Shirakawa Electric says that it is very clean and focused, that is, it only focuses on products.

Their materials are extremely luxurious, and the surface of the CD player is even inlaid with diamonds. Not only that, Shirakawa Electric also accepts pre-customized signatures on the fuselage.

"So what are the prices of these new generation products?" Bai Chuanfeng turned his attention to the big screen behind him.

The two are compared side by side, and the former has better saturation.

Now that everyone heard that Shirakawa Electric has solved this problem, they all showed expressions of surprise.

"Eh?" Everyone in the audience exclaimed subconsciously.

"I believe that everyone is already very familiar with Walkmans and CD players, but based on the past, we have greatly slimmed down their size and modified their inner beauty."

Starting from the first 14-inch LCD TV in 1985, as of today we have increased the screen size to 17 inches."

It’s the bubble era, just kidding. Let alone hundreds of thousands, they are willing to pay even one million.

The trend of luxury has been developed, and it is very honorable to bring this kind of customized model out, which can really scratch the itch of some people.

The CD player can play the music data in the cache first, thereby avoiding interruptions in music playback caused by vibration."

“This year we not only bring you a larger 19-inch large-screen LCD display.

As the next generation of young people in the group grow up, some of these things will have to be shared with them in the future so that they can grow up as quickly as possible.

The reason why Shirakawa Electric is willing to use cache chips on a large scale in CD players is because with the fierce competition in the semiconductor market, the price of cache chips (DRAM) has begun to drop significantly.

As a result, before Bai Chuanfeng's press conference was over, the number of reservations backstage was almost overwhelming.

When he said this, everyone smiled knowingly. Indeed, at least the two models on the screen are thinner and lighter, and have a more sci-fi feel.

At the same time, the new display technology will also be officially introduced to everyone. Please look at the big screen!" Bai Chuanfeng turned around and gave his perspective to the audience.

However, many people focused on the high-definition screen that was more than ten meters wide behind Bai Chuanfeng.

But now everyone no longer has to worry about such problems, the ESP electronic anti-shock system newly developed by Shirakawa Electric can ignore any violent movements."

After introducing the Walkman and CD player, Shirakawa Kaede began to introduce his own optical drives, desktop CD players, VCD players and other products.

For a club, 8 years may seem very short and young.

Although CD players are now very popular and widely used, it is also known that they are sensitive and fragile.

Just do design well. You see, Shirakawa Electric has never been involved in financial speculation.

However, Shirakawa Electric has never given up on the low-end market, and even the low-end prices are lower than before.
