Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Clever Mind Saves Money
After everyone had had enough laughing, a reporter asked: "Mr. William Devonhill, you are now the richest young man in England, do you have any plans after getting such a large fortune?"
William thought for a while: "I should buy my mother Lena a big house first, she used to work too hard, I hope her life will be easier in the future, do what she likes, and don't have to worry about money anymore"
After William finished speaking, applause rang out in the conference hall, and everyone was moved by William's filial piety.
"Second, I'm going to use part of the money to do things that I wanted to do but couldn't, and I have a lot of ideas in my head, for example, I invented a new encoding mode for MP3 last year, which is the Windows Media Audio encoded file format, or WMA for short. There are also some inventions about drones"
Diana Rigg interrupted without waiting for William to finish: "I'm sorry, William, I have to interrupt you, if I know correctly, the WMA mode you said is a new model, has it never appeared, can you explain it carefully"
William looked at Diana Rig with some dissatisfaction, and Diana Rig hurriedly hugged her hands, winked at William, and sold cuteness.
William glanced at Diana Rigg, nodded and said: "Since someone wants to know, then I will briefly talk about it, in my opinion, the current MP3 is too big and ugly, the sound quality is too low, customers who have already bought record company CDs can't convert their CDs to MP3, and if you download genuine music on the Internet, you have to pay again, which is too unfair to consumers."
The people who sat down again nodded their heads after listening.
"Also, although the current MP3 can be listened to casually on the Internet, this kind of piracy is constantly killing the record industry, this way is also undesirable, consumers want simple, cheap, convenient and high-quality products, so I directly invented this WMA model, it is more than twice as small as MP3 files, the sound quality can be the same as CDs, and you can copy the CD you bought to MP3, and the songs that can be stored are more than 3 times that of MP3 products now. ”
Diana Rig didn't raise her hand and stood with dewy eyes and looked at Eric with affection and said, "William, are you 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 meet your aesthetics, so you invented a new MP3 yourself,"
"Almost, that's it, I'm a science and engineering man, I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive about what I'm interested in, and I always want to make something I'm satisfied with" William was a little embarrassed, he was plagiarizing the technology of his previous life, but he still had to make the product himself.
Looking at William's shy expression, Diana Rigg was looking forward to a date with William in the evening, she thought William was interested in her, so she blushed, which seemed really cute to her.
The reporters at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were also dismissed by William Ray. We know that you are a genius, and the available genius is like this, and we are not from the same planet, you are from Mars.
"William, when will the product you said be on the market, I want an MP3 you said now, I'm fed up with the current MP3," a reporter asked loudly.
"If the patent examination is fast, I think I should be able to meet you in half a year," after speaking, he pointed his head with his finger and said: "Everything about this product is in my head, and I have made a simple one by myself at home these days,"
After speaking, he took out an MP3 the size of a cigarette case from his pocket, and said to everyone: "The official product is smaller and half thinner than this, because the shell is made of plastic by myself, and the electronic utensils on it are taken out by me in the second-hand electronics store, do you want to try it out?"
"Of course," everyone nodded.
William put the MP3 on the bar and put the headphones in front of the microphone, and a song "My Heart is Eternal" was broadcast.
Many people with MP3 present immediately heard that the sound quality is much better than the MP3 on the market now, after listening to a song, William turned off the MP3 in his hand,
"In my vision, the new MP3 should be simple, practical, beautiful, and people are reluctant to take their eyes off it when they see it for the first time, it represents fashion and youthful vitality.
It also needs to be able to store 1,000 songs, and the criterion for its success is that people are reluctant to put it down after buying it."
There was another deafening applause at the scene, and the reporters felt that it was too right to come today.
William Devonhill was a newsmaker, a proud man of England and a man of the world. They all have some idea to buy an MP3 that William said to try it out.
William waited for dozens of seconds and looked apologetically at Roger Moore, the vice president of Pestella, and said to the reporters: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back to today's topic, our president Roger Moore has a little cold, and we have been cold for too long."
"Hahahaha、、、" The scene resounded with laughter.
Roger Moore said into the microphone without hurry: "NO, NO, NO, I don't care about games like everyone else now, William, I just want to know when I can buy that MP3, and how much I have to pay for it, William, what is the MP3 called, you have to name her."
"Haha, yes, William, what Roger Moore wants to know is what we want to know" Many reporters shouted in solidarity with Roger Moore.
Roger Moore doesn't mean to be angry at all, he knows that as long as William can be more famous, then the games he created will be famous, which is good for Pepsi.
William nodded apologetically to Roger Moore and said to the reporters: "Well, since Mr. Roger Moore doesn't mind me being noisy, then I'll say more, I got the name of this MP3 my." listen, my listening, if everything goes well, it should be within half a year, or maybe 3 months, it all depends on when the official in England can send me an industry access certificate, the first generation of listening series of electronic components are now available on the market, it is already a mature product, I place an order today 3 months is enough for the OEM company to produce
As for the price, I can't be sure yet, but I promise that it will not be more expensive than the existing MP3, after all, the R&D fee for this product is very low, so low that I now regret developing it alone, which makes it difficult for me to get the 1.5 times R&D fee rebate officially stipulated by England. After saying that, he made a helpless grimace at the camera.
"Hahaha、、、" The scene laughed again.
"That's the benefit of having a smart brain, and it saves me a lot of R&D expenses."
Seeing William shrug his shoulders, everyone couldn't help but applaud William and shouted: "Good job, William, we like your smart head, if you can reduce the price by half again, we will marry Diana Rig to you immediately"
"Hahaha",
Diana Rigg looked at Eric shyly, and the look in her eyes seemed to say William, as long as you propose now, I will agree to you immediately.
