At seven o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the company's annual meeting, and Chen Lang sat with Zheng Zhenkun and the Duan brothers again.

"Are there any record companies that use CDs as music carriers to appear on the music market?" Chen Lang asked, looking at the CD on the table.

"As far as I know, there have been Japanese record companies that have adopted laser record technology and produced CDs with songs, but so far there have been no such CDs in Taiwan and Hong Kong."

Zheng Zhenkun also frowned at the CD on the table, because Zheng Zhenkun knew what the appearance of the CD meant to the vinyl record factory of Haishan Rolling Stone.

"Haven't there been music CDs in Hong Kong and Taiwan yet?" Chen Lang was stunned when he heard this.

Chen Lang thought about it as soon as he saw the CD from Tang Xiuxiu, and he was also absent-minded when he inspected the LL Entertainment Commodity Company, and then returned to the conference room of Haishan Rolling Stone again and convened everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Chen Lang thought that the CD should have appeared in Taiwan, but Tang Xiuxiu also got this music CD from someone else.

Tang Xiuxiu knew the impact of this CD on vinyl records with many years of experience, so she gave it to Chen Lang, in fact, she didn't know if there was such a CD on the market now.

"This CD technology was invented by Sony at the end of 1982, and it has not been more than two years now, that is, there is this kind of audio CD in the Japanese market, and it has not yet appeared in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but this new music medium will obviously have a great impact on the traditional vinyl record market." Duan Zhongyi said.

"CDs will definitely have an impact on vinyl in the near future, but now there are new music mediums in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they have been very popular since they first came out." Zheng Zhenkun sighed.

"What's that?" The CD brought by Chen Lang has not yet appeared in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which makes Chen Lang feel relieved, but when he heard Zheng Zhenkun's words, his heart was raised again.

"That's it, cassette tape, we're all used to calling him cassette." Zheng Zhenkun took out a black tape and put it on the table.

Chen Lang felt extremely familiar when he saw the cassette, because he had heard this kind of cassette when he was in middle school in his previous life, and he also heard this kind of cassette when he listened to English in school.

"This cassette had a greater impact on vinyl records because Sony invented a portable cassette player called Alkman, and with this kind of player, you can just put the cassette in it and play music, and more importantly, this player can be carried around.

For people who can't afford a record player, this portable cassette player will obviously be more popular, and at the same time, this kind of music player that can be carried around will definitely be sought after by young people, and having one of these walkmans around their waist is a great attraction for young people.

I am afraid that it will not be long before this kind of alkman will become popular, and vinyl records will suffer an immeasurable impact, and even retire from the stage of history. Zheng Zhenkun looked at the small tape, and his tone was full of bitterness.

Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, in his previous life, he bought Alkman, that is, the Walkman, and then don't do other things while listening to music on his body, and almost all the whole school is like this, this has become a popular fashion on campus, Chen Lang deeply knows that students are crazy about the Walkman.

In fact, in the following years, the Walkman ushered in the era of portable music because of its portability, which became popular all over the world, especially among young people, and it was during the eighties that the sales of music tapes began to replace the dense records, and the records gradually disappeared from the stage of history.

However, in many Western countries, the cassette market began to shrink sharply after a sales peak in the late 80s, and by the early 90s, CD sales surpassed that of pre-recorded cassette, although this period was delayed for many years in Asia.

"Now let the company contact the cassette seller immediately, seize the time to prepare, and if you release records in the future, you will still be mainly recorded, but you can also record some cassettes and sell them at the same time, so as to prepare for the decline in record sales.

At the same time, the production capacity of the vinyl record factory will be reduced a little more, maintaining 50% of the original maximum production capacity of Haishan Records, and the reduced production line will be changed to a commodity production line, just to make up for the lack of production capacity of entertainment products, no problem, right? Chen Lang said.

"No problem, we already have experience in these things, and we will get it done quickly." Zheng Zhenkun said after taking a deep breath.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's hurry to the hotel." Chen Lang looked at the time, it was already more than seven forty.

When a few people arrived at the hotel, it was exactly eight o'clock, and the annual meeting had just begun.

Chen Lang, as the behind-the-scenes boss of the company, should have come to the stage to give a speech, but now Haishan Rolling Stone has not announced who the company's big boss is, and Taiwan's restrictions on record companies, so Chen Lang's identity at this time is a special guest.

Chen Lang didn't say anything, this time he came to Taiwan mainly to express his attention to the Taiwan company and several CEOs, as for whether he is on stage or not, it doesn't matter at all, it is Zheng Zhenkun who is standing on the stage at this time.

"Lang Lang, long time no see." Sitting next to Chen Lang was Zhou Huajian.

Zhou Huajian and Chen Lang are both Hong Kong people, and the two also participated in the same Asian amateur singing competition, which can barely be regarded as a brotherhood, and Chen Lang personally invited Zhou Huajian to Haishan Rolling Stone Records, but Zhou Huajian didn't know that Chen Lang was the big boss behind the company.

"Brother Huajian, I haven't seen you for a long time, how do you feel in the company?" Chen Lang asked with a smile when he heard this.

"It's a great feeling, I'm interested in the behind-the-scenes work of music writing and record production, and the company does have a lot of professionals in this area, so I learned a lot and felt fulfilling, but recently the company wanted me to release a record, which gave me a bit of a headache, and I prefer to do it behind the scenes."

Zhou Huajian was smiling, obviously living a comfortable life, but he seemed a little distressed at the end.

Chen Lang looked at Zhou Huajian in surprise when he heard this, what kind of joke are you kidding, the king of Chinese pop music, who has sold more than 35 million albums, doesn't want to release a record?

"How can you think that? Your singing skills are very powerful, especially your mellow voice is charming, it would be a pity if you didn't release a record, and I think that performing songs as a singer is very helpful for the creation of lyrics and songs, I have a deep understanding of this, as a singer can better touch your inspiration, but also speed up your creative progress. ”

Chen Lang hurriedly flickered, Zhou Tianwang is a popular superstar in the future of the company, how can he get a record.

"It seems to be right, then I'll record and create at the same time." When Zhou Huajian heard the creator Chen Lang say this, he no longer refused. "By the way, Lang Lang, let me introduce you to these people, they are Pan Yueyun, Qi Yu, Zhang Aijia, Lin Huiping and Tong Ange, who has just joined the company." Zhou Huajian enthusiastically introduced several singers of the company to Chen Lang.

The four female singers and Tong Ange had obviously also heard of Chen Lang's name, and they all nodded their heads to say hello, and Chen Lang also nodded his head in greetings.

Chen Lang is most familiar with Zhang Aijia, of course, from the memories of Hong Kong films in his previous life, Qi Yu also knows a little, the most important thing is that she has a younger brother named Qi Qin.

Lin Huiping participated in the Asian Amateur Singing Competition like Chen Lang, and she knew the least about Pan Yueyun.

When he finally saw Tong Ange, Chen Lang's heart perked, it turned out to be this big coffee, no wonder he was so familiar.

In the early 90s, Hong Kong produced the "Four Heavenly Kings", which were all the rage and household names, but there were also many controversies about the Four Heavenly Kings, and many people believed that the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong were the entertainment kings.

Later, the music industry and people who love and understand music selected Taiwan's "Four Heavenly Kings", although they belong to the folk title, they have been widely recognized, they are Wang Jie, Qi Qin, Tong Ange and Zhou Huajian.

In 1985, Qi Qin appeared in the music scene as a "wolf", triggering a musical revolution in the Chinese music scene.

Wang Jie, known as the "first person in the Chinese-speaking world", has released more than 50 albums since 87, each period has his different characteristics and representative works, both in terms of sales and influence, are far-reaching.

Wang Jie is very musically gifted and talented, has created a lot of good works, his songs integrate life experience again and again, the emotions are sincere, there is no disease-free moaning, and his voice, singing and song infectiousness, is also unparalleled, he uses his most real voice and emotion, hit people's souls, so that people can have a strong resonance after listening.

In addition to his musical achievements, Wang Jie is also a person with a very charismatic personality, so he can impress all kinds of people of different ages, and now his fans range from teenagers to decades.

Named the "King of National Singers" by the media, Hong Kong's singer Zhou Huajian who went to Taiwan for development has set a record of singing nearly 40 advertising songs in four months in the Taiwanese music scene, so he is known as the "King of Advertising Singers", but the three albums released in the early days have received more cold reception from people.

In 1987, he officially published his first album "The Direction of the Heart" in Rolling Stone, which established his status in the music industry, participated in film performances in the same year, and released the album "I Give My True Love, I Realize My Dream" in 1988.

These four Taiwanese kings have all caused a sensation in Asia, and until now, their musical concepts are still influencing this era, and their music is still talked about by many people who love music in today's "only pop, no music" music scene.

Classics are never forgotten and never go out of style.

As Tong Ange said, really good music has no age distinction and no preservation period, and after the precipitation of time, the melody becomes our common past.
