Chapter 27: Smart Brains Can Save Money

After everyone had laughed enough, a reporter asked: "Mr. William Devonshire, you are now the richest young man in England. Do you have any plans after acquiring such a large amount of wealth?"

William thought for a while and said: "I should buy a big house for my mother Lina first. She worked too hard before. I hope her life will become easier in the future and she can do something she likes without having to worry about money.

trouble"

After William finished speaking, applause broke out in the conference hall, and everyone was moved by William's filial piety.

"Secondly, I will use part of the money to do things that I wanted to do but couldn't do before. I have many ideas in my mind. For example, last year I invented a new encoding mode for MP3, Windows Media

Audio encoding file format, referred to as WMA. There are also some inventions about drones."

Diana Rigg interrupted without waiting for William to finish speaking: "I'm sorry, William, I have to interrupt you. If I know correctly, the WMA mode you mentioned is a new mode. Didn't it appear?

Yes, can you explain it carefully?"

William looked at Diana Rigg with some dissatisfaction. Diana Rigg hurriedly hugged her hands and winked at William, acting cute.

William rolled his eyes at Diana Rigg, nodded and said: "Since anyone wants to know, let me briefly talk about it. In my opinion, the current MP3 is too big, too ugly, and the sound quality is too low. I have already bought CDs from record companies.

Customers cannot convert their CDs to MP3s. If they download genuine music online, they have to pay again. This is too unfair to consumers.

Everyone sitting there kept nodding their heads after listening.

"Also, although MP3 players can download and listen to music online now, this kind of piracy is killing the record industry. This method is not advisable. What consumers want is simple, cheap, convenient and high-end.

quality product, so I directly invented this WMA mode. It is more than twice the size of MP3 files, the sound quality is the same as that of CDs, and you can copy the CDs you bought to MP3s, and it can store the songs that are now available in MP3s.

More than 3 times that of the product.”

Diana Rigg stood up without raising her hand, her eyes were dewy, she looked at Eric lovingly and said: "William, you are saying that you think the current MP3 is too ugly, the capacity is too small, the sound quality is not good, and it does not suit you.

aesthetic, you invented a brand new MP3 yourself,”

"Absolutely, that's it. I'm a science and engineering guy. I have some obsessive-compulsive disorder about the things I'm interested in. I always want to make something that satisfies me." William was a little embarrassed. He was plagiarizing the technology of his previous life, but when he made it

He still has to produce the product himself.

Seeing William's shy expression, Diana Rigg was even more looking forward to her date with William in the evening. She thought William was interested in her, so she blushed. This seemed to her really cute.

The reporters at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were also shocked by William. We know that you are a genius, but if you can use your genius to become like this, we are still not from the same planet. You are from Mars.

"William, when will the product you mentioned be launched on the market? After what you said, I want an MP3 like you said now. I'm fed up with the current MP3," a reporter asked loudly.

"If the patent review goes quickly, I think I will be able to meet you in half a year." After speaking, he nodded his head with his finger and said, "Everything about this product is in my mind. I have been thinking about it these days."

I even made a simple one at home,”

After saying that, he took out an MP3 player the size of a cigarette box from his pocket, and said proudly to everyone: "The official product is smaller and half thinner than this, because the outer shell is made of plastic by myself, and the electronic devices on it are

I bought it from a second-hand electronics store, do you want to try it out?"

"Of course" everyone nodded.

William turned on the MP3 player and put the headphones in front of the microphone, and the song "My Heart Will Go On" played.

Many people present who had MP3 players immediately realized that the sound quality was much better than the MP3 players on the market today. After listening to one song, William turned off his MP3 player.

"In my vision, the new MP3 should be simple, practical, and beautiful. When people see it for the first time, they can't bear to take their eyes away. It represents fashion and youthful vitality.

It also needs to be able to store 1,000 songs. The criterion for its success is that people won’t be able to put it down after buying it.”

The scene was filled with deafening applause again, and the reporters felt that they were right to come today.

William Devonshire is a news maker. He is the pride of England and will become the pride of the world. Now they all have some thoughts and want to buy the MP3 that William mentioned and try it.

After waiting for dozens of seconds, William looked apologetically at Roger Moore, the vice president of Blockbuster, and said to the reporters: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's get back to today's topic, our President Roger Moore.

He's all a bit cold, we've left him cold for too long."

"Hahahaha,,," the scene burst into laughter again.

Roger Moore spoke into the microphone calmly: "NO, NO, NO, like everyone else, I don't care about games now. William, I just want to know when I can buy that MP3, and

How much do I have to pay for it? William, what is the name of the MP3 you mentioned? You have to give her a name."

"Haha, yes, William, what Roger Moore wants to know is what we want to know." Many reporters loudly supported Roger Moore.

Roger Moore is not angry at all now. He knows that as long as William becomes more famous, the games he created will also become famous, which is good for Blockbuster.

William nodded apologetically to Roger Moore and said to the reporters: "Well, since Mr. Roger Moore doesn't mind if I take the spotlight, let me say more. The name of this MP3 is my listen.

Listening, if everything goes well, it should be within half a year, or maybe 3 months. It all depends on when the British official can issue me an industry admission certificate. The electronic components required for the first generation of Listening series are all on the market.

It is available now. It is already a mature product. If I place the order today, it will take three months for the OEM company to produce it.

As for the price, I'm not sure yet, but I guarantee it won't be more expensive than the existing MP3 players. After all, the R&D fee for this product is very low. It's so low that I now regret developing it by myself. It makes it difficult for me to get it.

England’s official tax rebate of 1.5 times R&D expenses.” After speaking, he made a helpless face at the camera.

"Hahaha,,," the audience laughed again.

"This is the benefit of having a smart brain. It saves me a lot of research and development expenses."

Seeing William's shrug, everyone couldn't help but applaud William and shouted: "Well done, William, we just like your smart head. If you can lower the price by half, we will sell Diana immediately?"

Rigg will marry you"

"Hahaha",

Diana Rigg looked at Eric shyly, her eyes seemed to say William, as long as you propose now, I will agree to you immediately.
