Chapter 66 Gift
The production of Obsidian record players has been on the right track, and Yasuda and Yamashita Daiji have also freed up their hands to focus on imitating Sony Walkman.
At this moment, in an independent workroom in the technical department, Shirakawa Kaede, Yasuda and the others were sitting together.
In front of them, the blue walkman had turned into a pile of parts.
If you want to imitate, there is no special method, naturally it is reverse engineering.
This is the skill that little RB made their fortune in. In the 1950s and 1960s, their reverse targets were all European and American products.
Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, they imitate things, sometimes even the patterns are not changed.
So now Shirakawa Kaede is very at ease as she reverses Sony's teachings.
Excellent traditions must continue to be carried forward.
Walkman, which is what we usually call a walkman, actually has a not complicated structure.
It is roughly divided into several modules: movement, circuit board, and box cover. The core part is mainly the first two.
Tanaka Yuko shrank her feet in embarrassment, "I just accidentally twisted it. I'll be fine after just two days of rest."
Asuka Kobayashi looked at Shirakawa Kaede's hurried expression and curled her lips helplessly. This guy is really good at calling people.
After thinking about it, he turned to Asuka Kobayashi, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Assistant Kobayashi, please prepare a packaged obsidian record player for me. I will take it away later, thank you."
Stereo circuits, audio chips, etc., all involve the design of circuit solutions. They cannot be copied 100% by simply putting them together.
"Yasuda-san just needs to concentrate on getting the imitation design of the movement. As for the circuit solution, I will figure it out."
"How is it? Is it difficult to imitate Yasuda-san?" Shirakawa Kaede can only take a rough look. Professional people are needed to truly check it.
After finishing the work on the walkman, Shirakawa Kaede began to think about the circuit module again.
While speaking, Shirakawa Kaede also looked at her left foot. Tanaka Yuko, who was wearing slippers, tapped her left foot lightly on the ground. The bare area of her ankle looked a little red and swollen.
The latter's eyes turned a few times in a panic, but in the end he did not refuse.
But as mentioned before, the electronic part has always been Shirakawa Electric's shortcomings.
As for the circuit board, it is relatively simple. The functions of power amplifier, automatic control, amplification, equalization, etc. are also relatively simple.
Bai Chuanfeng held a cardboard box and hummed as he came to the door of each building.
Before the journey of imitation begins, we encounter difficulties. Sure enough, most of the time things don't go as smoothly as imagined.
Not only will the company make things difficult for you, but even your colleagues will look down on you.
After settling her down first, Bai Chuanfeng returned to the door, picked up the cardboard box on the ground, entered the house, and closed the door.
There is currently no clue about electronic talents, so Bai Chuanfeng can only take one step at a time.
"Hai" Masaaki Yasuda and Daiharu Yamashita nodded. All they can do is do their best in the part they are responsible for.
…
Although vinyl record players also have some circuit applications, it is not the main factor affecting the sound quality of the record player. Therefore, the previous Watanabe Electric did not pay much attention to it.
He put down the things in his hands and rang the doorbell. After a while, a crisp response came, and then Yuko Tanaka, with her hair disheveled and dressed in regular clothes, opened the door.
Bai Chuanfeng hung up the phone and hurriedly stood up to leave.
As a result, the filming could not be completed for the time being, so I could only rest at home for two days.
Look at those artists in the entertainment industry who have changed their status, as long as the contract has not expired. If you leave without permission, the entire industry will be condemned if it is serious, and not many firms will dare to take you in.
Today's Walkmans not only have exquisitely designed mechanical components, but circuit integration is also a very important part.
Forget it, let's go out and get some fresh air.
"Why are you so careless?" After changing her slippers, Bai Chuanfeng naturally held her arm and carefully carried her to the sofa.
Yasuda's circuit level maintenance and fine-tuning is okay, but his design is far from good. He is self-aware, and he will not make blind boasts.
Tanaka Yuko's scene in Fukuoka had just been filmed. As a result, she and her colleagues on the set had just had a small gathering last night, and when they arrived at the door of their house, they accidentally sprained their foot.
However, when he saw Tanaka Yuko's left foot propped up, he put his expression back and asked, "Senior, didn't you apply ice?"
"By the way, pay attention to avoiding patents when designing. We don't need to be exactly the same as Sony, just achieve the function. The simpler the structure, the better. Our positioning is still mid-to-low-end."
The movement mainly includes magnetic heads, gears, motors, and button modules. Several parts are considered the drive mechanism of the Walkman.
Masaaki Yasuda put down the magnetic head in his hand and thought about it for a while before saying, "The design is very sophisticated, and in theory it is not difficult to copy.
"It's me, Bai Chuan..., eh, I didn't go to the filming? Why?...Wait for me, I'll go over now."
As for the circuit part, I can only trust Shirakawa Kaede.
90% of companies have lifetime employment system, so changing jobs is tantamount to betrayal for employees.
Shibuya, Yoyogi Uehara.
It's a pity that he is not good at this either. He would like to recruit people with high salary, but the current social environment cannot do it.
Especially the movement part, we at Shirakawa Electric can completely handle it ourselves. But the circuit part is a bit troublesome..."
I just came out to get some air and check on her.
His head is not that strong. Shirakawa Electric is still very weak and cannot withstand wind and rain. Moreover, the simpler the mechanism, the lower the cost.
After finding a reason for himself, Bai Chuanfeng picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a series of familiar numbers.
"As Sister Wada said before, it's naturally a gift." Bai Chuanfeng smiled proudly.
"How's it going, Miss Tanaka, it doesn't matter." The first words he said when they met were concerned about her situation.
As for the sound quality, let’s put these at the back first.
The culture is like this, and there is nothing he can do about it.
Shirakawa Kaede will not stop moving forward because of small difficulties. If it cannot overcome this obstacle, there is no point in growing Shirakawa Electric.
"Moxi Moxi?"
If not, the Music Professionals Association will boycott you, and your career as an artist will almost be over.
Yasuda took these parts and played with them carefully. Sometimes he frowned slightly, and sometimes his eyes lit up.
On this point, Shirakawa Kaede thinks very clearly. Competing with Sony for high-end original products is like going to the toilet with a lantern - looking for shit.
If Bai Chuanfeng hadn't called her on a whim, she wouldn't have known about it.
Feeling a little irritable, he took out the pager from his pocket and rubbed it a few times, feeling a little hesitant.
The mechanical part has always been Yasuda's specialty, and now there is another Yamashita Daiji. It may be difficult to design in a vacuum, but with reference objects, Yasuda is confident that he can come up with a preliminary design plan within two weeks.
When Tanaka Yuko saw Shirakawa Kaede bringing in a cardboard box, she looked at it curiously, "Hey, what is this?"
Tanaka Yuko smoothed her long hair around her ears and said with some embarrassment, "I thought it was nothing, but I didn't expect that it would become more serious after a good sleep."
"Senior sister, you need to deal with it promptly after it is twisted. This is common sense."
Seeing that Tanaka Yuko was still looking at the carton curiously, Shirakawa Kaede waved her hand, "We'll talk about the gifts later. Let's take care of senior sister's sprain first."
After finishing speaking, Shirakawa Kaede had already stood up and walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen. Although it was his first time to visit Yuko Tanaka's residence, the basic layout of RB's single-family houses was similar.
Thanks to those who still read this far!
