Chapter 327: A Small Technological Shock
Ignoring his meaningful look, Baichuan Feng continued to answer calmly.
"The confidence of Shirakawa Electric is built on the continuous . The first portable player that can record and receive audio all in one, and the first portable player with automatic cassette-flipping function, were both created by Shirakawa Electric.
Today we will still bring you new portable audio products. Innovation is always the goal we are pursuing.
I am even confident that within the next ten years, Shirakawa Electric's Walkman shipments will reach 200 million units!"
"Oh~" an exclamation was heard in the conference hall.
Click, click, click. Flash lights lit up again in the hall.
This goal is quite ambitious, which means that in the next few years, Shirakawa Electric's sales volume must continue to increase significantly in order to achieve this goal.
Even Norio Ohga, who was sitting in the conference hall, couldn't help but show a look of surprise. He didn't know whether Shirakawa Kaede really had this confidence, or was just exaggerating to give investors confidence.
However, Baichuan Feng's sharp performance today made him see a different side of the young president Sang.
Although it may be exaggerated, Shirakawa Electric's products in the past two years are indeed unique and have always been more innovative and one step ahead of others.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is just Shirakawa Electric’s vision in the audio field. At the same time, our handheld game consoles have always been the mainstream in the market .
Looking around the world, there are only two large-scale handheld game console manufacturers in the market, and the largest one is Shirakawa Electric."
Today, relying on screen improvements and price cuts, Shirakawa Electric's share of handheld game consoles remains above 60%.
It is no exaggeration for Shirakawa Kaede to say that Shirakawa Electric is the dominant player in the handheld game console market and the absolute mainstream.
Yamauchi Hiroshi, who was also sitting in the audience, curled his lips slightly, and there was no change in his eyes hidden behind his brown glasses.
But you don’t have to think about it to know that his face must not look good.
At this time, Baichuan Feng didn't care about being humble and courteous. He just blew it! Blow it up as hard as he could. If he didn't blow it up, how would the stock price go up? If he didn't blow it up, how would his worth go up?
As for Nintendo and others who came from afar and sat in the audience?
Baichuan Feng selectively ignored their existence. It was you who came uninvited.
Isn't it normal to be accidentally injured at a competitor's press conference?
"Sorry, Mr. Shirakawa, I also want to ask you a question." Suddenly, Suba Saji of Suba Seiko raised his hand and wanted to speak.
Seeing that it was him, Baichuan Feng frowned subconsciously and glanced at him with sharp eyes, and the latter's heart skipped a beat.
But he is the helmsman of a company after all, with strong psychological qualities, and there seems to be nothing unusual about Suwa Saji.
"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, Suyu-san." In just a moment, Baichuan Feng regained his smile and signaled the other party to feel free to do as he pleased.
If it was in any other situation, Baichuan Feng would not even pay any attention to him. He hadn't even settled the score with him for the malicious price hike yet, so it would be strange if he could treat him well.
But the briefing was different. As the founder of Shirakawa Electric, he had to face questions from many investors.
He needs to answer other people's questions one by one, and he needs to show the outside world the qualities of an excellent manager.
Otherwise, how can we make others optimistic about the development of Shirakawa Electric and then spend money to buy its stocks?
So even though Shirakawa Kaede was very unhappy with Suba Saji's remarks, he still acted magnanimous.
"Shirakawa-san," Suba Saji said with a smile, "As far as I know, your company's handheld game console seems to have encountered some problems in the supply of LCD screens.
How can we solve this problem in the future development and avoid such things from happening again? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the venue began to buzz with conversation. The corners of Yamauchi Hiroshi's mouth also began to curl up slightly.
"Shuyu-san's information may be a little outdated." Without giving the audience two seconds to discuss, Shirakawa Feng immediately took over.
In such occasions, never give time for comments to ferment.
"Oh~?" Suba Saji cooperated and showed a surprised expression, "Why do you say that, Shirakawa Kaede-san? Could it be..."
"Shuyu-san, Shirakawa Electric's handheld game consoles have long used our own LCD displays. We are no longer dependent on other suppliers for this."
Why did Baichuan Electric's LCD screen supply for handheld game consoles encounter problems? Don't you have any idea? Now he has the nerve to pretend to be innocent. Baichuan Feng crossed out the other party's name in his heart.
However, these accounts can be settled later. Now Baichuan Feng did not give him the opportunity to make a fuss and told everyone the answer directly.
"At the same time, we also have sufficient measures to prevent such incidents from happening again, which is another issue that Xu Yu-san is worried about.
In addition to the LCD screen, we can be self-sufficient. We can also be self-sufficient in another core of the handheld game console, the chip!
Please note that this is a processor chip designed independently by SIC with complete intellectual property rights and a brand-new architecture. "
At this time, Baichuan Feng did not forget to promote his own chips.
This is a rare opportunity. This is a briefing attended by many business elites. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it.
“We don’t license our chips from other companies and then make our own adaptation modifications.
This is a completely new architecture that is not used by any other chip company on the market and has been proven in the market.
I believe everyone knows that Fujitsu launched a new personal computer FM-7 this year, and the processor chip it is equipped with comes from SIC.
As for the relationship between SIC and Shirakawa Electric…” Shirakawa Feng smiled, but the audience was already in a state of realization.
At the same time, everyone was secretly surprised at him, as he had managed to quietly create the chip.
This is different from walkman and handheld game console. It is more professional and technically difficult, and has more patent barrier advantages.
And when it comes to Fujitsu's FM-7, many people have an impression of it.
Fujitsu has been very successful in the personal computer market this year. In just three months, the shipments of its new computers have reached 500,000 units.
This is more than their computer shipments in the entire last year, and the popular computer is the FM-7.
At this moment, many institutions in the audience had their eyes shining. This was definitely a high-quality investment target.
Especially Morgan and ABN AMRO, they are naturally interested in high-tech.
“Of course, all of this is to ensure the smooth production of Shirakawa Electric’s products.
Compared with the Walkman and handheld game consoles, today we have brought you more updated and more exciting new products!"
As he spoke, Baichuan Feng turned around and extended his hand to the side of the stage.
Click! A beam of light shone from top to bottom onto the display stand beside him.
There, on a small square display stand, there was a small black pocket-sized machine, quietly shining with a mysterious metallic luster under the light.
Because the surrounding light was dim, with only a beam of light shining down from above the display stand, everyone's attention in the hall was focused here.
To facilitate guests in the back row, the projector in the hall and the large screens on both sides show a close-up of the machine slowly rotating.
That’s right, in addition to the projector, there is also a camera that records in real time on site.
These captured images will be displayed synchronously on the display devices in the hall, which is roughly equivalent to a grand live broadcast.
Through the presented images, when others were guessing what new product this was, Norio Ohga and Kozo Ozone, who were in the relatively front position, suddenly changed their expressions.
"Everyone, I am honored to be here to show you Shirakawa Electric's latest masterpiece, the portable CD player!"
"What?!" Ohga Norio could no longer maintain his composure and self-confidence, and was so shocked that he almost stood up from his seat.
The expression on Ozone Kozo's face beside him was not much better. They actually...
“Maybe many of you still don’t have a clear idea of what a CD is, and some of you may have heard of it but don’t really understand it.
But it doesn’t matter, let’s go and experience the musical shock it brings to us.”
After saying that, Baichuan Feng walked forward and gently pressed the power button in full view of everyone.
The moon-white "KITA" logo flashes on the LCD screen, and combined with the piano black metal body, the entire CD player exudes a sense of technology, fashion, and texture.
After making sure that everyone had noticed every detail of the CD player, Shirakawa Feng pressed the play button.
"Refreshing ~ Deck Chair Sip of Cider ~"
Some lovely girl's singing came from all directions of the hall, instantly enveloping everyone's ears.
The clear sound quality and immersive stereo sound gave goose bumps to everyone present.
This sound... no, this sound effect is too shocking!
As the wealthy class of upper society, they have top-notch record players and matching audio equipment at home.
But today, their first experience with the so-called CD player left .
The clear and pure sound is more convincing than anything else. Compared with the previous vinyl record player, it is as if the film wrapped around the sound has been torn off.
At this moment, everyone is facing the most essential appearance of sound. The impact is like opening the door to a new world. It turns out that this is a CD.
Clean! This is their most intuitive impression of CD sound quality.
After everyone was immersed in the music for a few seconds, they gradually came back to their senses. Then there was a burst of applause and admiring eyes cast towards Shirakawa Kaede on the stage.
The media reporters were also busy, but this time the protagonist became the CD player on the display stand.
Seeing the surprise and admiration in everyone's eyes, Baichuan Feng turned down the volume slightly and picked up the microphone.
"How is it? The sound of the CD did not disappoint everyone, and of course, Shengzi Sang's singing voice is as sweet and lovely as always."
There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience. Everyone is familiar with Seiko Matsuda's current reputation.
That’s right, the music just played on the stage was “The Wheat-colored Mermaid” by Seiko Matsuda.
Who is Shirakawa Kaede? He will never waste any opportunity to promote himself.
He was able to use the opportunity to promote SIC before, so it’s not excessive to use the music playing stall to promote his woman’s record now.
When the audience quieted down a bit, Baichuan Feng continued, "But do you think that these are all the features of our CD player?"
Hey, is there any other surprise?
They have already approved the effect of CD players in playing music , and there is absolutely no problem in using it to beat tape players.
But now that Baichuan Feng said this, the audience in the audience became a little excited.
