Chapter 593 (1/2)
Jenny found baozixuan very cooperative and had a very clear idea of answering questions. This is a dream interview object. A reporter can save a lot of things when he meets such an interview object.
Fortune magazine did a lot of preparatory work this time. It was very clear about the investigation of baozixuan and heiyun group, but some problems still need to be confirmed by myself. At the same time, the unknown side of Bao's richest man is presented to the public. At present, the effect seems to be very good.
Jenny: can you talk to us about the Walkman! I heard it also came from your creativity. ”
Bao Zixuan: ”the Walkman is because it's inconvenient to see people playing music with tape recorders. I wonder if I can shrink the tape recorder. This is the concept of a walkman. As for the name, it comes from being able to carry it with you. ”
At present, although in the sales of Walkman, heiyun has been inferior to Sony, and even Panasonic has greater sales than heiyun. But the profit of the Walkman is still big in the dark cloud; After all, all the patents on the Walkman are in the hands of black cloud.
Jenny: ”now the sales of black cloud Walkman has been surpassed by Sony. What do you think of it?”
Bao Zixuan: ”from several aspects, the first is the degree of attention. In the black cloud group, the Walkman business is not the most important project, resulting in some resource investment can not keep up. At the same time, objectively speaking, Sony does have technical advantages in the field of audio-visual products. In Sony's internal Walkman, the proportion of investment is increased every year, and the sales will naturally go up. We cannot belittle others because we are competitors. Others are good; Black cloud group should find its own reason. ”
”Secondly, I always think the Walkman is an excessive product, especially after the popularity of computers; With the continuous upgrading of memory chips, smaller music playback devices will be put into use in the future. ”
Jenny was very excited to hear that. It seems that she can get a lot of harvest today. Baozixuan said that the smaller playback device must have a direction, otherwise she wouldn't say it easily in his capacity.
Jenny: ”so the black cloud group already has relevant research. I don't know when smaller music playback devices can meet consumers.”
Steamed stuffed bun Xuan thought that since he said it, there was no need to hide it, and it could warm up the market. The most important thing was to let consumers think more when buying walkman. After all, there were better products waiting for them.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: ”it was originally a secret of the company. Fortunately, heiyun has registered relevant patents. I don't worry about anything.”
”The smaller playback device I'm talking about is only one tenth the size of today's Walkman, or even smaller. Because the device does not play with tape, but should play in digital and analog format. ”
”Black cloud has developed software that can play music on the computer. Next, as long as the audio is implanted into the memory card, the music can be played. In the future, music can be played with a memory card, a small electronic screen, a lithium battery and a motherboard. ”
”Engineers will assemble these four parts together, and then cooperate with the software to make a new music player. At the same time, you can change songs indefinitely, delete the tracks you don't like, and then implant new songs. At present, black cloud is negotiating music copyright. As a responsible company, we can't damage the interests of the creators. ”
Steamed stuffed bun Xuan said so simply, but Jenny, as a reporter of Fortune magazine, is also a well-informed person. Of course, she knows that there must be a lot of high-tech technology in it. It's just that she didn't study science and engineering, and it's hard to understand for a moment.
Jenny: ”it sounds very sci-fi, but it's also expected. I just don't know when I can meet you.
Bao Zixuan: ”the laboratory already has relevant research and development, which can be realized in the next two years. But the cost will be very high at that time. It will take about five years to reach mass production. ”
In fact, these are all baozixuan's words, just thinking that they can sell at a high price when they are just listed, otherwise they are too expensive. How can they explain to consumers.
Jenny: ”it's a really exciting product. I think it will subvert the whole field of music playing. No wonder heiyun group has invested less and less in the field of Walkman. It turns out that there are new research topics. ”
”There are still many questions about the black cloud computer company. As a Turing Award winner, what do you think of the development direction of computers in the future?”
