Chapter 66: The Gift

The production of the Obsidian record player is already on the right track, and Yasuda and Yamashita Daiji are also free, ready to focus all their efforts on the imitation of the Sony Walkman.

At this moment, in an independent workshop of the technical department, Shirakawa Kaede and Yasuda are sitting together.

In front of them, the blue Walkman has turned into a pile of parts.

If you want to imitate, there is no special method, and naturally it is reverse engineering.

This is the skill of the little RB, and in the fifties and sixties they reversed the objects of European and American products.

Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, the things they imitate, sometimes even the pattern is not replaced.

So now Shirakawa Kaede is reversing Sony's Dafa things, and he is very at ease.

We must continue to carry forward the excellent tradition.

The Walkman, which is commonly known as the Walkman, is actually not complicated.

It is roughly divided into several modules: movement, circuit board, and box cover. The core part is mainly the first two.

The movement mainly contains a magnetic head, gears, a motor motor, and a button module, and several parts are regarded as the driving mechanism of the Walkman.

As for the circuit board, it is also relatively simple. Power amplifier, automatic control, amplification, equalization, etc., the functions are also relatively simple.

Yasuda fiddled with the parts carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes his eyes lit up.

"How, is it difficult to imitate Yasuda-san?" Shirakawa Kaede can only look at a rough idea, and professional people are needed to really check it.

Masaaki Yasuda put down the magnetic head in his hand and pondered for a while before saying, "The design is very exquisite, and it is not difficult to imitate theoretically."

Especially for the movement part, we can do it ourselves. But the circuit part, there are some troubles..."

The mechanical part has always been Yasuda's housekeeping skill, and now there is another Yamashita Daiji. It may be difficult to design out of thin air, but with a reference material, Yasuda is confident that he will be able to come up with a preliminary design plan within two weeks.

But as I said before, the electronic part has always been the shortcoming of Shirakawa Electric.

Although vinyl turntable also has some circuit applications, it is not a major factor affecting the sound quality of a turntable. Therefore, the previous Watanabe Electric did not pay much attention to it.

Today's Walkman not only has a delicate design of mechanical components, but also circuit integration is also a very important part.

Stereo circuits, audio chips, and so on, all involve the design of circuit solutions. It's not something that can be copied 100% by simply putting it together.

Yasuda's circuit level maintenance and fine-tuning are okay, but the design is far from good. He is self-aware, and he will not boast indiscriminately.

Before the road of imitation began, it encountered a problem. Sure enough, most of the time things don't go as smoothly as they seem.

Yasuda-san only needs to concentrate on the imitation design of the movement. As for the circuit solution, let me figure it out. ”

Shirakawa Kaede will not stop because of a small problem, if this hurdle can not be overcome, how to talk about the growth of Shirakawa Electric.

"Hai" Masaaki Yasuda and Daiji Yamashita nodded, all they could do was do their best to do their part well.

As for the circuit part, I can only trust Kaede Shirakawa.

"By the way, pay attention to avoiding patents when designing. We don't need to be exactly like Sony, just get up to the mark. The more simplified the structure, the better, and our positioning is still in the middle and low end. ”

At this point, Shirakawa Kaede thought very clearly. Competing for high-end with an original big thing like Sony, that's really going to the toilet with a lantern - looking for.

His head is not so iron, and Shirakawa Electric is still very weak and can't withstand the wind and rain. And the simpler the organization, the lower the cost.

What is the sound quality effect, these will be put back first.

After arranging the work of the Walkman, Shirakawa Kaede began to think about the circuit module again.

It's a pity that he is not good at these, he wants to poach people with a high salary, but the current social environment can't dig at all.

90% of companies are employed for life, and changing jobs is tantamount to betrayal for employees.

Not only will the company embarrass you, but even your colleagues will look down on you.

The culture is like this, and he can't help it.

Look at those artists in the entertainment industry who have changed their nationality, as long as the contract has not expired. If you leave without permission, it will be seriously condemned by the whole industry, and few firms will dare to take you in.

If you don't know that the music business association will boycott you, then your artist career is almost over.

There is no clue about the matter of electronic talents for the time being, and Shirakawa Kaede can only take one step at a time.

He was a little irritable, took out the pager from his pocket and rubbed it a few times, a little hesitant.

Forget it, go out and breathe.

Finding a reason for himself, Shirakawa Kaede picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a string of familiar numbers.

"Moxie Moxi?"

"It's me, Shirakawa..., eh, didn't go to filming? Why? … Wait a minute, I'll go over now. ”

Shirakawa Kaede, who hung up the phone, hurriedly got up and prepared to leave here.

After thinking about it, he turned his head and explained to Asuka Kobayashi, who was sitting opposite him, "Assistant Kobayashi, please help me prepare a packaged obsidian record player, I will take it with me later, thank you." ”

Kobayashi Asuka looked at Shirakawa Kaede's hurried expression, and pouted a little helplessly, this guy is really calling.

Shibuya, Yoyogi Uehara.

Shirakawa Kaede held a cardboard box and hummed and came to the door of one building after another.

He put down what he was holding and rang the doorbell. After a while, a crisp answer was heard, and then Yuko Tanaka, who was dressed in regular clothes with her hair scattered, opened the door.

"How about it, Senior Sister Tian, it doesn't matter." The first thing I said when we met was to care about her situation.

As she spoke, Shirakawa Kaede looked at her left foot. Yuko Tanaka, who was wearing slippers, lightly touched the ground with her left foot, and the bare part of her foot looked a little red and swollen.

Yuko Tanaka shrank her feet a little embarrassed, "It's just that I accidentally twisted it, and I'll be fine after two days of rest." ”

"Why are you so careless" Shirakawa Kaede, who had finished changing her slippers, naturally grabbed her arm and carefully sent her to the sofa.

The latter's eyes rolled a few times in a slight panic, but in the end he did not refuse.

After settling her down first, Shirakawa Kaede returned to the door and picked up the cardboard box on the ground and entered the house, closing the door.

Yuko Tanaka's scene in Fukuoka has just finished filming, but she just had a small gathering with her colleagues in the crew last night, and when she arrived at the door of the house, she was careless and broke her foot.

So the drama couldn't be filmed for the time being, so I could only rest at home for two days.

If it weren't for Shirakawa Kaede calling her on a whim, she wouldn't know about it.

I just came out to breathe, and I also stopped by to visit her.

Yuko Tanaka saw Shirakawa Kaede come in with a cardboard box, and looked at it curiously, "Eh, what is this?" ”

"What Sister Hetian said before, it's naturally a gift." Shirakawa Kaede smirked twice.

However, when he saw Yuko Tanaka's propped up left foot, he put away his expression again, "Isn't there ice for senior sister?" ”

Yuko Tanaka stroked the long hair next to her ear, and said a little embarrassed, "I thought it was nothing, but I didn't expect it to be more serious after sleeping." ”

"Senior sister, it is common sense to deal with it in time after twisting."

Seeing that Yuko Tanaka was still looking at the cardboard box curiously, Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand, "I'll talk about the gift later, let's deal with the sprain of the senior sister first." ”

After saying that, Shirakawa Kaede had already gotten up and walked towards the refrigerator in the kitchen. Although it was the first time he had come to Yuko Tanaka's residence, the basic layout of the houses in RB was similar.
