Chapter 390: Sound Expert
Let's talk about Qin Hai and his party.
After coming out of the Army Equipment Headquarters, Qin Hai, Ning Mo, and Yu Haitao separated from Liang Rongjian. The three military men returned directly to the hotel, while Qin Hai and the others drove to an office building on the outskirts of Washington.
Along the way, Ning Mo and Yu Haitao were very excited, they had only seen what American soldiers were called in movies in the past, but this time they saw them alive. Unlike the formidable images in American blockbusters, McCarnise left them with the impression of being an uncle next door. The two of them chattered and commented on the dress, expressions, etc., of McCarnis, and the others, with some disrespectful words during the process. Fortunately, the taxi driver could not understand Chinese, otherwise it would inevitably cause another diplomatic storm.
According to the address provided by Qin Hai, the taxi drove to the bottom of an office building with more than 20 floors. At that time, there were not many such tall office buildings in China, and the interior decoration could not be compared with the United States, but Ning Mo and Yu Haitao have also gone abroad many times to negotiate business in the past two years, and it is not surprising that they are used to this. The three of them got out of the taxi, walked into the door, took the elevator to the 16th floor, and were greeted by an elegantly decorated company front desk with the words "Donner Music" written on the back.
"Is Mr. Mordeken here?" Qin Hai walked up to the reception lady and asked in English.
"He's here, do you have an appointment?" The reception lady flashed her big blue eyes and asked Qin Hai.
Qin Hai nodded and said, "There has been an appointment, and he said that we can come and visit at any time." Excuse me, I told him that a gentleman surnamed Qin from China had come to visit. ”
The reception lady picked up the phone and dialed a number. After saying a few words inside, he put down the phone and said to Qin Hai and the others with a smile: "Gentlemen, please come with me." ”
Qin Hai and the others walked into the company with the reception lady, walked through the long office area, and came to an office separated by transparent glass. The reception lady knocked lightly on the door, and after getting permission, she brought Qin Hai and the others into the room.
"Mr. Modeken, Mr. Qin, they have arrived." The receptionist said to the man sitting behind his desk with a huge headset.
Actually, as early as when the reception lady knocked on the door. Modicon already knew the guests were coming. But he didn't take off the headphones on his head. It wasn't until the guest entered the door and the reception lady reported again that he pretended to wake up from a dream, took off the headphones on his head and put them on the table. Stretched out his hand and gestured. He said, "Everyone, please take a seat." "When he said this. He didn't even raise his butt, showing a kind of contempt.
There were a few chairs in the office for guests to sit on, and the three of Qin Hai pulled out the chairs and sat down separately. Modicon looked at the crowd. Asked, "May I ask who is Mr. Qin?" ”
"I am." Qin Hai raised his hand and gestured, "Mr. Qiao Zihe should have briefed you on our situation, right?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Joe is a great musician and I have a deep relationship with him." Mordeken said, like most Westerners, he did not hesitate to use all kinds of exaggerated adjectives, "Mr. Joe said in his letter to me that you have developed a very good headphones, let me help you identify, did you send the headphones?" ”
"Yes." Qin Hai replied, he made a gesture to Yu Haitao, Yu Haitao took the backpack beside him, took out a pair of headphones from it, and then hesitated whether to hand it to Qin Hai or hand it directly to Modiken. Qin Hai pointed at Mo Diken with a smile and said, "You can take it directly to Mr. Mo Diken." ”
"Mr. Modicken, this is our headphones, please take a look." Yu Haitao stood up, put the headphones on the desk in front of Modiken, and said to him. In the past two years, under Qin Hai's persecution, several of them have more or less learned a few words of English, and it is still possible to deal with a little simple conversation.
There were two headphones on the table at the same time, one was the headset that Mo Diken was wearing just now, and the other was the headset that Yu Haitao handed over. I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm just afraid of comparing the goods, Qin Hai The headphones they brought are also carefully made, and they look quite high-end and high-grade in isolation, but when placed next to Modiken's headphones, they are like a chicken and a crane standing together. When Yu Haitao put down his headphones, he was inevitably a little ashamed of himself.
"This headphone ......" Modiccan pondered the words for a while, and finally couldn't find any euphemism to evaluate, so he simply didn't say anything. He carelessly unplugged his headphone cord from the stereo next to him, plugged in Qin Hai's headphones, then put the headphones on his head and pressed the audio switch.
Rao is Qin Hai has full confidence in his headphones, and at this moment, his heart can't help but rise. During the audition in Pujiang, Qiao Zihe and Gao Linqi spoke highly of the sound effect of this headset, believing that it surpassed the level of today's world-class headphones, but Qin Hai didn't know if the more authoritative and knowledgeable audio expert in front of him would have the same opinion as Qiao Zihe.
Five seconds passed, and Modecan's eyebrows furrowed slightly;
In 10 seconds, Qin Hai read a hint of surprise on his face;
At 20 seconds, Modecan's eyes closed, his expression becoming more and more focused, as if he was catching clues hidden in the sound;
After a full two minutes, Modeken opened his eyes suddenly, took off his headphones, and shouted into the outside of the glass room: "Wynant, Wynant, come to my office immediately!" ”
As an audio equipment company, the sound insulation of the office is very good. Under normal circumstances, if Modeken wanted to call someone outside, he would have called or opened the office door and shouted again. But apparently he was fascinated by the headphones that Qin Hai and the others brought just now, and he actually forgot that his shout couldn't be transmitted.
Yu Haitao sat by the door, heard Modiken shouting like this, and quickly opened the door. Everyone in the hall heard Mordiccan's shout at once, and they couldn't help but look back. A man with long braids on the back of his head and a very artistic temperament stood up and strode over.
"Mr. Mordeken, are you calling me?" The man stood outside the door and asked, while looking at the three Chinese in the room with curious eyes, he knew that it was the appearance of these three Chinese that led his boss to lose his temper.
"Wynant, come and listen to these headphones." Modicon greeted.
Wynant walked briskly over to Modeken's side, took the headphones from Modeken's hand, and put them on his head. As the company's chief sound appraiser, he is much more sensitive to audio equipment than Modeken, and as soon as he heard a note, his eyebrows raised and he cast a surprised look at Modeken.
Modicon nodded quietly, and Wynante didn't say anything more, just closed his eyes and began to taste the music in his headphones. Qin Hai didn't care about the expressions of these two people, he just sat calmly, with a breezy expression, waiting for the other party's final statement.
"This kind of headphones uses a very special diaphragm."
Wynant finally finished listening to a passage, took off his headphones, and after a moment of silence, spoke his judgment to Mordecan. The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, Wynant is a professional in audio, and he knows the problem with this headset as soon as he listens to it.
Compared with the headphones produced by Donner Company, the headphones taken by Qin Hai are lackluster in terms of structure, coils, etc., but they have a heart-warming timbre. Wynant estimates that these headphones can produce more than 50% of the original sound, while the best headphones they produce themselves can only achieve about 30%. The reason for this difference is that Qin Hai's headphones use a very good diaphragm, and Wynant is reluctant to say the word excellent directly, so he very implicitly calls it "special".
Modeken knew Wynant's concerns, and he asked directly: "Do you think this diaphragm is better than the diaphragm we use now?" ”
"Yes...... I think the diaphragm they use is better than ours. Wynant no longer concealed it, since the boss asked like this, that is, he did not plan to go around in circles with the other party. Everyone is an expert, and you can know whether it is good or bad at first hearing, and deliberately belittling the other party's product is not conducive to further negotiations.
"How did you do that?" Modicon turned his head to Qin Hai and asked.
Qin Hai smiled and said, "We have researched a new diaphragm material. ”
Qin Hai's words are basically nonsense, Modecan is in this business, how can he not know that this kind of headphones uses a new type of diaphragm material. Since other audio equipment manufacturers have not announced similar diaphragm materials, Qin Hai naturally uses his own developed materials.
Modeken was not annoyed by Qin Hai's nonsense, he originally didn't care how Qin Hai answered, but simply asked, "How much are you going to sell this technology?" ”
Qin Haile said: "Mr. Modeken, we don't plan to sell this technology. ”
"Not planning to sell this technology?" Mordicon's face was not as good as it had just been, and there was a bit of arrogance on his face just now, which would have hung a hint of frustration. He asked, "Since you're not planning to sell this technology, why are you coming to us?" ”
"We want to provide you with this diaphragm material for use in your audio equipment." Qin Hai said.
"I see." Modicon kind of understood.
The diaphragm material of the headphones that Qin Hai brought is very good, but the other parts are miserable, which greatly reduces the timbre of the entire headphones. If Modecan wasn't an audio expert, he might even feel that Qin Hai's headphones weren't as good as their own production.
The reason for this is none other than that Qin Hai can only solve the problem of diaphragm materials, but cannot solve other problems in the manufacture of headphones. Using his own diaphragm material, he asked a headphone manufacturer in Pujiang to make the headset, which is equivalent to installing a Ferrari engine on a tractor. Connoisseurs can see that engines are unusual, but ordinary consumers will not buy them. (To be continued......)
