Chapter 220: Little RB scolds behind his back
At around 12 noon, the press conference ended. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If the Walkman Tape Walkman wins with creativity, then the CD-Walkman Walkman wins with disruptive technology.
However, everyone who attended this product launch conference said that the CD-Walkman is the best portable player, both in terms of technology and product design, it is impeccable, and when the CD-Walkman is released at Christmas, they will definitely buy one.
"According to Steve Jobs, Chronos-Li began to let Seagate Technology develop CD technology in 1976!! and now I think about it, I have to be full of admiration for Chronos-Li's foresight perhaps his casual layout will play a vital role in the future, even like a steam engine, like electricity, like a computer, to change human life! Chronos-Li is worthy of the title of "the most genius" of our time!!
Another guest also sighed: "The launch of the CD-Walkman marks the rebirth of Apple, the former king, and the strong return! In the era when the Rockefeller family ruled Apple, it was so stupid to have such a powerful weapon as a CD in your hand, but you didn't know how to use it!"
At this point, Apple is already working on CD-ROMs for future use on computers.
The Flamingo company is developing a second-generation game console, the Flamingo 2.0, which also uses game CDs.
It's no exaggeration to say that CD technology has changed technology and disrupted many industries, including computers, game consoles, players, record labels, and more......
On the same day, major media around the world focused on the CD-Walkman.
Overnight, the CD-Walkman became known to the world and became a topic of discussion.
At the same time, at the product launch conference, thousands of people sang the Christmas song "Jingle Bells", which became a beautiful conversation, which made many people envious and surprised.
The next day, Time magazine listed the CD-Walkman as the best tech product of 1982!
The CD-Walkman has received numerous accolades from the media, critics, and the public.
Many record companies saw that the CD-Walkman was so popular, and they expressed their willingness to release CD records. Of course, there are also many record companies that see CDs as a flood beast.
The CEO of Warner Records angrily said: "CD records are undoubtedly more threatening than tapes, and will have a huge impact on vinyl records!!"
It's easy to understand that record companies were as reluctant to give up vinyl as Edison was to give up direct current. How could Edison, a smart man, not know the difference between direct current and alternating current, and how good or bad it is? But the reason why he kept suppressing Tesla and alternating current was because his wealth was used to build a direct current power plant, and he was reluctant to give it up.
In the same way, these record companies have a certain market share in the vinyl record market, and have spent a lot of money on research and development of vinyl record technology, and have established many vinyl record factories and related industries.
It's easy for a small boat to turn around, but it's difficult for a big boat.
Moreover, record companies have to pay patent fees to Seagate Technology and Philips for the production of CD records, which is not a small amount.
It's just that when Apple first launched the Walkman cassette Walkman, the major record companies had already competed with it, and I still have lingering fears. However, I never thought that the tape was in the past, and now it is a more lethal CD record, and some clever record companies know to fight against it, and the result is probably futile and simply accept it generously.
This was the trend of the times, and in the end, all record companies had to accept this choice!
In all media reports, Li Zetian is a person who cannot be ignored, and every time he reports, he will be mentioned.
It was he who designed the CD-Walkman, and it was he who pulled Apple up from the bottom.
He is known for his wisdom and foresight.
His aura of success can't help but make people believe that as long as it is a product he leads, it will be successful!
The idea began to spread, first to Apple and then to Microsoft.
Microsoft has benefited greatly from the success of Apple's product launches, and the number of computer manufacturers and third-party software developers has increased significantly.
IBM, Conference Room.
"Frank, more and more companies are working with Microsoft, and it's not good for us!" said one executive director.
CEO Frank Carey has a slightly pale face, heavy dark circles under his eyes, and has been suffering from insomnia lately, and has not rested well.
"With the support of Chronos Li, Microsoft is really difficult to deal with!" said Frank Carry, "Christmas Day is coming, look at Microsoft's sales, and we'll make a further decision!"
Everyone present nodded.
In fact, IBM's main profits are still in large, medium and small computers, because the Sun Microsystems company established by Li Zetian acquired Clay Research, which brought a lot of pressure to IBM, so it was decided to knock Li Zetian, but he never thought that Li Zetian had no intention of negotiating with him to admit defeat.
Soon, Christmas arrived.
On this day, Apple's CD-Walkman and Microsoft's Windows 1.0 operating system were released at the same time.
Early in the morning, Apple's flagship store and Microsoft's flagship store were already overcrowded, and business was booming, especially Apple's flagship store.
Media reporters, competitors and record label observers crouched outside Apple's flagship store were shocked.
"This ...... How many CD-Walkmans does Apple sell?!!
In a café not far away, several Sony executives watched and talked through the window.
"The sound quality of the CD-Walkman is much better than that of the tape Walkman, and the two are not on the same level at all. In addition, it is now a Christmas sale and sale event, so many people can't help but come and buy the CD-Walkman......"
"Compared to the tape Walkman, the design of the CD-Walkman is so beautiful, and it is also available in a variety of colors such as silver, blue, red, black, and white, which is deeply loved by young people. ”
"Sony must launch the Sony CD Walkman as soon as possible, otherwise, the entire Walkman market will be snatched up by Apple!"
At this time, one of the senior executives of Sony shook his head and sighed: "Alas, in fact, Sony is also researching CD-related technology, but it is a pity that Seagate Technology Company took the lead in the end." Otherwise, the CD would have belonged to Sony, and the scenery and glory of today would have belonged to Sony!"
"Damn Chronos Li, if it weren't for him, how could Seagate Technology develop CD technology!!"
When these Japanese talked about Li Zetian, they all gritted their teeth.
Li Zetian suddenly sneezed at this time and muttered, "Is there S.B scolding me behind my back?"
PS: It's been three shifts, if there is no update at 11 o'clock in the evening, rest early, and watch it tomorrow.
