Duan Yun didn't know anything about the quality evaluation of tape recorders in Shenzhen, and he had begun to organize technicians to devote themselves to the research and development of the Walkman in the past few days.

Now the sales of colorful tape recorders are booming, and there are more and more members of the Tianyin Electronics Manufacturers Association, and there are already exclusive dealer members in 17 provinces, and more people have submitted applications for membership.

Now Duan Yun and his wife have a clear division of labor, Cheng Qingyan is mainly responsible for the company's operation and chamber of commerce organization, while Duan Yun is mainly responsible for product research and development and various public relations and entertainment.

After getting the design sketch of Duan Yun's Walkman, Zhao Xuewu organized a meeting of the technical staff of the entire R&D center that night, during which the feasibility of developing the Walkman product was discussed.

At present, this kind of walkman is still a very big challenge in China, even if the function is simplified, only the function of retraction and playback is retained, and there is no integrated circuit on the circuit board, but there are still many technical bottlenecks to be solved.

With the current technical capabilities of the factory, it is not difficult to make a sample according to Duan Yun's drawings, but how to design a durable product and achieve mass production is a very big challenge.

"Manager Duan, this is a sample that our factory has just made, listen to it as you like. ”

As soon as Duan Yun arrived at the institute that morning, Zhao Xuewu took him to the office, and then took out a sample from the drawer and handed it to him.

This Walkman sample looks a little rough, because it has not yet been finalized to make a mold, so the shell is made of aluminum alloy, which is simply processed by CNC machine tools, which is very labor-intensive and costly, the appearance is rough and has not been carefully polished, and there are still some burrs to the touch, but at least it has been made according to Duan Yun's drawings.

"Have you tested it?" Duan Yun asked.

"At present, our factory is not able to produce this kind of micro motor for the Walkman, so the tape recorder motor we used this time is removed from the imported Walkman, and the plug-in machine in the factory has been running at full load and cannot be stopped halfway, so the circuit board part is also soldered by hand. Zhao Xuewu paused, and then said: "There are also movements and magnetic heads, which are also made of colorful tape recorder parts, and some modifications have been made, and if you want to truly achieve complete self-production, you also need a lot of equipment and special raw materials......

"Good work. Duan Yun nodded, picked up the Walkman and looked at it.

"You can listen to it. Zhao Xuewu took out another tape at this time and handed it to Duan Yun.

After Duan Yun took the tape, he opened the tape compartment and gently put it in.

When the start button was pressed, the tape inside slowly rotated, and a soft piece of music played.

Holding this Walkman in his hand, Duan Yun could clearly feel the rustling sound of mechanical transmission coming from inside, which made his brows furrow suddenly.

Obviously,At present, this walkman does not have a noise reduction function,Including the sound quality of the music released, it is not good,It's about the same as the cheap domestic walkman I used in my previous life.,It can only be said to be improvised.。

In fact, it has been broken from the current strength of the electronics factory, and it is already great to be able to make such a sample walkman, but in Duan Yun's opinion, this prototype is far from meeting his requirements.

"Have the headphones been made?" After a while, Duan Yun asked Zhao Xuewu.

"The headphones haven't been made yet, but we've put them in the Japanese portable hall to make a jack, which can be compatible with the headphones of the Japanese Walkman, but from a technical point of view, it should be fine, but I'm afraid the quality won't reach the level of others......," Zhao Xuewu said with a deep sigh.

"Although the headset is an accessory, we must also pay attention to it, we can learn from similar foreign products, and try to design it beautifully and lightweight, because our consumers this time are mainly for those young people, who pay more attention to a fashion and experience. Duan Yun Zhengse said.

Generally speaking, headphones are not a necessary add-on to the Walkman, but for Duan Yun, it is also a very important thing.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, with headphones, you can avoid disturbing others when using the Walkman, which is especially useful in places such as school dormitories and libraries.

And wearing headphones will look very fashionable, for those consumers who like to show off, headphones can also be used as a kind of decoration, giving people a trendy feeling, which is a subtle psychology of consumers, so Duan Yun must also pay attention to it.

The domestic headphones in this year are relatively stupid, basically all of them are headphones, and there is no wireless sports headphones that are commonly used in the rear, because of technical reasons, and the extreme part is relatively bulky, and it is a little hot to wear on the head in summer, and Duan Yun intends to develop a relatively small and beautiful headphones, which can also add points to his Walkman products.

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange for someone to design the headphones. Zhao Xuewu nodded in response.

"Design is not your forte, for the design of the product, I plan to hire some specialized designers, set up a product design team, stationed in our product design research and development center. Duan Yun thought for a moment and said.

"You don't need to find a special team to design the appearance of the product, right?" Zhao Xuewu obviously couldn't understand Duan Yun's approach.

In Zhao Xuewu's view, the performance and quality of the product will always be the first, as for the appearance of good or not, it doesn't matter if it looks good, you just need to maintain some of the same type of product design on the market.

"Master Zhao, there is one thing you may not understand, the reason why many of our domestic goods did not pay attention to design in the past is mainly because our country was mainly based on a planned economy before, as long as the quality of the products passed, there was no need to worry about sales, so many products, including those from the Soviet Union, also gave people a feeling of stupidity and stupidity...... Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: " But our private enterprises of Tianyin Electronics Factory, must take into account the needs of consumers in all aspects, you look at why Japanese electrical products can sell well all over the world, in addition to good quality and advanced technology, the appearance of people's products is also very beautiful and fashionable, very good consumers, especially young consumers, so they can be sold all over the world, technical things I admit that you are an expert, but in terms of product sales, your thinking is outdated......"

"Makes sense. Zhao Xuewu nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Who do you plan to recruit to design the appearance of the product?"

"There are a lot of fresh art graduates in Guangzhou, and people who are engaged in art must have better aesthetic ability than ordinary people. Duan Yun said.
