Jiang Hua pointed to the box in his hand and asked, "Is this the product you designed?" Is there any use for telling me more about that? ”

"This is a music player that I made myself, a brand new product."

Jiang Hua became interested and asked curiously: "What do you mean by Walkman, a portable music player and CD in the world now?" ”

"This is a digital player, I use a hard disk as a storage device, and I make a software player myself."

Jiang Hua sighed in his heart at the time, isn't this the most primitive MP3, so he took this thing in his hand and checked it, good guy, this player is indeed weighty, and there is absolutely no problem when the board is turned to smash people.

"What is the capacity of your computer's hard drive?"

The researcher smiled and said, "This is the best hard drive I can buy on the market at the moment, with a capacity of 80M." ”

"Then how big can you be if you compress a song according to your algorithm."

The researcher sighed and said, "The compression efficiency is not high, it must be about ten megabytes. ”

"In other words, you only put seven or eight songs on a hard drive." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "You are far worse than tapes and CDs, and you don't have the slightest advantage." ”

Director Xie also said: "That's right, Xiao Liu, I have already advised you, your design is a bit whimsical, and this thing has no practical significance." ”

Jiang Hua smiled and said: "And your player is so heavy, much heavier than CDs and Walkman, there is no point in being portable." ”

The researcher said dejectedly: "This is the first digital product I have researched, and I know that he has no advantages now, but I just don't want to." ”

"It's right to be unwilling, this product is really useless now, but it's very forward-looking." Jiang Hua praised: "Mr. Lu, you must give him a bonus." ”

"Yes, but explain how to be forward-looking."

Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Now it can store four or five songs, which is really no problem, but we can delve into the compression technology, if a song is only two to three trillion, is it possible to store a lot of songs." ”

"In addition, with the development of time, hard disk technology will also improve rapidly, now a hard disk is 80 megabytes, but maybe one day a hard disk can reach 1G, that is not more advantageous than tape and CD."

Lu Xiuying frowned and said, "But the hard drive is still very heavy." ”

"I remember four or five years ago, a doctor from Toshiba came up with the concept of flash memory, and the flash memory chip was much smaller. Although the capacity is also small, but as it develops, I think the chip will get smaller and smaller, and the capacity will become larger and larger. ”

"Oh, by the way, I remembered, last year Intel launched a flash memory chip, with a size of 256K, I think you can dig deeper, if a flash memory chip can store more than 100 megabytes, and one of your songs has only three or four trillion looks, then make it a music player, which has both portability and capacity advantages."

When the researcher heard this, he was really happy, and Mr. Jiang affirmed my idea, which showed that my thing really has a future.

Director Xie thought for a while and said, "There are people in our research institute who are working on flash memory chips, and now it seems to be similar to Intel's technology. ”

"That's better." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "This digital player project can not be stopped, we must continue to study in depth, when one day, this player shrinks to the size of a palm, can store thirty or forty songs, it can be introduced to the market, of course, not only pay attention to the hardware, software should pay attention, compression methods, playback methods should be paid attention to, to in-depth research, I see that his future market will not be much worse than VCD." ”

Lu Xiuying said with a smile: "Director Xie, you assist this researcher Liu, do a good job of opening the report, prepare the documents for the application of the project, and I will approve it as soon as I go back, since our President Jiang said that the market is very large, then we can't ignore it." ”

Director Xie said self-deprecatingly: "I understand, although my old Xie has a poor vision. But efficiency is still okay. ”

"Thank you Mr. Jiang, thank you Mr. Lu, I will definitely work hard to develop this player as soon as possible."

"It's not in a hurry, this thing is about both software and hardware. If you don't make progress in these two aspects, you will never make progress, and your player still has something to do with the Internet. If the Internet can't download music, you're just a decoration, and it's also related to computer transmission, at least there must be a convenient interface. ”

Lu Xiuying was dumbfounded and said, "Then this thing is estimated to be useless in three or five years." ”0

"I don't know. But I think five or six years can be listed is enough, but it doesn't matter, we put forward such a concept five or six years in advance, it means that we have taken the lead, in fact, we can wait until the Internet development to that extent, even if our products are not mature, we can take the lead in launching products, first establish our first image, and then we will operate as we do now, register patents, and establish standards. ”

After getting Jiang Hua's guidance, the researcher was very happy, although it was said that it was far away from the time to go public, but he was still young and could afford to wait, especially these projects would be led by him, he was even more happy.

Bidding farewell to this really excited researcher, Director Xie took him on to the next laboratory.

Director Xie enthusiastically introduced: "This is researcher Zhang Wanhe, he got you from Compaq Computer, and wants to make a real mobile phone computer, which can be stuffed into a backpack and carried away, which is much more convenient." ”

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, very promising, eighty-five years ago, Toshiba launched the T1000, put forward the concept of a laptop, but now the so-called laptop on the market is not really convenient, I think a real laptop, at most one to three kilograms of weight, there are many problems restricting this laptop, including battery life, as well as the heat dissipation of the notebook, these must be taken into account, this is a systematic project, I have a research institute in the capital, New energy batteries are also being worked on right now, and if there's progress over there, it could be of great help to your laptop plans. ”

"Really?" Researcher Zhang was overjoyed: "Mr. Jiang, if there is good news over there, I must tell you that the efficiency of the battery used now is too low, and the volume is too large, I am very distressed." ”

"Don't rush, take your time. There are some things that cannot be rushed, especially the problems of basic materials, which can only be solved by accumulation. ”
