Coming out of the Onkyo building, Daki looked at the resignation ticket, annuity handbook, and various certificates in his hand, and sighed as if relaxed.

I thought that if I proposed to resign, there would be high-level retention. For this reason, Damu even thought of a rhetoric.

However, the reality is that it is not like words, and the signature and seal go straight to the end.

As a senior sound engineer, he has also made great contributions to Onkyo.

However, when I left the company, I didn't even have a non-compete agreement.

It's the idiot in Tomura who hangs the name of the chief, and there is no shortage of these restrictions.

Da Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, leaving Onkyo so smoothly made him feel both lost and a little relieved.

It turns out that I am not as important as I thought, but this is fine.

Oki looked up at the bright sun, maybe Tokyo was good too.

At least compared to Osaka, Tokyo is much bigger and can accommodate more people.

…

In March, Shirakawa Electric was running as usual. A series of production and sales work are carried out in an orderly manner.

For Shirakawa Electric, which is in the rising period of development, there are no plans to do more except for White Day a week later.

The remaining half a year is to digest the current market size and gain a firm foothold is its top priority.

"That Kimura-san, here it is again." Asuka Kobayashi walked over with a cup of coffee.

March was during spring break, and Asuka Kobayashi, who had nothing to do, continued to be her personal assistant.

Behind the desk, Shirakawa Kaede, who was buried in the pile of papers, raised his head and frowned.

"This Kimura-san is really persistent.

However, the order volume of Shirakawa Electric, Kimura Manufacturing's production capacity is far from meeting the demand.

The last quality accident is still fresh in my memory.

Find a reason to send it away, after all, we have cooperated. Although it was a little unpleasant, there was no major conflict. ”

Since the last time Kimura made and supplied an abnormal circuit board, Shirakawa Electric began to look for the next foundry.

In the end, in line with the principle of preferring to be more expensive than reassuring, the foundry of circuit boards was handed over to Kyocera.

Of course, the OEM orders are not transferred all at once, but gradually reduce the orders made by Kimura, and then transfer this part to Kyocera.

So Eiji Kimura, who has always regarded Shirakawa Electric as his food and clothing parents, couldn't sit still, and came to visit Shirakawa Kaede at two ends in three days.

At first, Shirakawa Kaede would perfunctory a few words to him, but after many times, he gradually felt impatient.

If it weren't for Kimura's original moth, maybe Shirakawa Electric would have continued to cooperate with it.

However, the chain fell at the critical moment, and no one was at ease with such a partner.

Besides, now Shirakawa Electric has not withdrawn all the orders, and still keeps some.

After all, it was the first partner, and Shirakawa Kaede still cared about a trace of incense.

Putting aside the matter of Kimura production, Shirakawa Kaede began to think about enriching Shirakawa Electric's product line again.

Now carefully calculated, Shirakawa Electric's products are only two and a half. Obsidian turntable, Walkman, and half-count earbuds.

It's still too little, to put it mildly, the current Shirakawa Electric is all supported by the Walkman.

Once the Walkman encounters any major changes, it is a major change in Shirakawa Electric.

However, the entire club has only been established for less than a year, and it is not realistic to come up with a few more products, and there is no resource to cover everything.

But it's still okay to lay out in advance, so recently Shirakawa Electric has been prying the corners of major companies.

They have a lot of talent, and some of them are too much.

In line with the idea of not letting talents be dusted and making the best use of things, Shirakawa Kaede did not hesitate to wield a hoe.

Isn't this a senior sound engineer in Onkyo who was recently pried over under the hard wielding of a hoe?

How can a club engaged in audio products not have relevant talents, and the reason why Shirakawa Electric values sound engineers.

In addition to preparing for the research and development of the next generation of mid-to-high-end walkmans, another is actually Shirakawa Kaede's thoughts on the audio market.

Whether it's the current Walkman or the CD player in the future, audio is one of their best partners.

As a high-end member of a home entertainment system, speakers and headphones offer a completely different experience.

Especially for some music lovers, the sound is the right way to enjoy the music.

In addition, as one of the members of high-end products, the profit of audio is also very considerable.

However, although Shirakawa Kaede has ideas for the sound system, he does not plan to directly embark on such a high-end project at present.

The whole sound system involves too many things to be done in a short period of time.

Again, as the old saying goes, start at the low end first.

He wanted to try out some of the components of the sound system, such as the speakers.

And considering that the thrust of the Walkman and CD player is relatively small, only the active speaker with its own power amplifier can be matched with them.

So Shirakawa Kaede decided,Start directly with the active speaker,One step in place。

Judging from the current R&D strength of Shirakawa Electric, this is no longer an extravagant hope.

However, the speaker is only incidental, and the most important thing is the upgrade of the second-generation Walkman.

Truth be told, the first generation of Walkman, now Flashman, was still relatively rough overall.

Especially in terms of audio technology, there are almost no features to speak of, and in order to pursue low costs, Shirakawa Kaede cut this part of the function a lot.

Now that I plan to make high-end products, I also have to pay attention to the audio.

What tones, FM, stereo tones, etc., all need to be tuned by professionals.

Moreover, the future CD player is inseparable from professionals in this area, which is the fundamental reason why Shirakawa Electric spends a lot of money to tap professionals in this field.

"Di Di Di" was thinking about the future layout of Shirakawa Kaede when the sound of a pager in his pocket interrupted his thoughts.

I took out the black pager and took a look, uh, it was this number.

Didn't you just see it two days ago, why did you come again?

It is said that since Shirakawa Electric's Flashman became popular, it has been used as a model for print advertisements in manuals.

Seiko Matsuda also showed her face slightly, and her well-behaved and cute image gathered a wave of popularity among young people.

It is no exaggeration to say that Flashman's hot sale unexpectedly made an advertisement for Seiko Matsuda.

Two days ago, Shirakawa Kaede met with her, and I heard her talk about the recent time she received a letter from a fan.

This made her very happy, she had only filmed a TV series and had not had time to make her singer's debut, but she also had her own fans.

And the shrewd Seiko Matsuda took advantage of the conversation about sex, and also openly and secretly turned the topic to the original song agreement.

Since she agreed, Shirakawa Feng also spoke and gave her a song "Summer Gate".

Well, it's still her own song.

got what he wanted, and Seiko Matsuda finally left satisfied.

But it's only been a few days, and I'm starting to call myself again when I have something to do.

Well, here we go again.

Shirakawa Kaede raised his head and met Asuka Kobayashi's inquiring gaze.

"Ahem, it's Professor Matsumura of Tokyo Institute of Technology. I just haven't been there for a while, so I'm going to see if there's anything I can do for the professor. ”

It's not that Shirakawa Kaede is lying, but that he's really going to go to East University of Technology.

The first is to see how the project is planned, and the second is that Matsumura Masaaki wants to meet him and talk about industry-university-research matters.

…

Coming to the campus of Tokyo Institute of Technology again, Shirakawa Kaede was already familiar with the road, and soon arrived at the electrical and electronic building where he had been there last time.

Hey, I really came to the East University of Technology, instead of meeting a girl who doesn't look like a good person.

Asuka Kobayashi expressed surprise at this, and looked Shirakawa Kaede up and down.

Nonsense, you're all following, where else can I go?

Even if it's okay here, it has to be okay now.

Shirakawa Kaede led the way in front without blushing and without a heartbeat, and went straight to Matsumura Masaaki's laboratory.

Because the temperature has risen, Asuka Kobayashi, who is wearing more and more refreshing clothes, follows him leisurely.

Well, the weather is nice today, and the branches of the cherry blossom trees are getting more and more luxuriant. In a little while, it will be Hanami season.

Asuka Kobayashi, who is in a good mood, looks like a picture of spring and full of vitality.

Visiting Matsumura Masaaki's laboratory again, Shirakawa Kaede obviously felt that it was a lot more lively.

Unlike last time, there was only one person, and this time there were a few more busy figures in the laboratory.

They were all Masaaki Matsumura's experimental assistants who had come to help him, some of them his own students, and some of them were transferred from the school.

Kazuya said hello, and Kaede Shirakawa and Asuka Kobayashi knocked on the door and entered Masaaki Matsumura's office.

"Shirakawa-san, it's just in time." Turning his head to see that it was Shirakawa Kaede, Matsumura Masaaki immediately beckoned him to sit down.

"I suggest that the research and development of precision servo technology and digital signal reading technology should be transferred to Tokyo University of Technology."

"Huh?"

Matsumura Masaaki's first sentence surprised Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka.

The development of these two technologies has already been entrusted to his alma mater, Meiji, and it is difficult not to wonder what Matsumura is making such a request at this moment.

However, Matsumura Masaaki's explanation next made Shirakawa Kaede understand why he suggested this.

Because the DAC decoder chip is for the CD player, its development needs to take into account the working principle of the entire CD player, as well as the cooperation between different components.

In particular, the reading and transmission of information is closely related to the work of the chip.

So I only took a disc and wanted to develop a corresponding decoding chip. You also have to find a way to read the information on the disc first.

But that's another topic, and the development of this part was entrusted to Meiji by Kaede Shirakawa.

Waiting for Meiji to have results and then going back to the development of chips is obviously too inefficient and will waste a lot of time.

Integrating these two aspects of research and development and carrying out them at the same time is the most scientific and efficient way.

But Meiji there...

"That's it" Masaaki Matsumura saw that Shirakawa Kaede was embarrassed, and made another suggestion.

"Precision servo technology and digital signal reading technology are jointly developed by Meiji and Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Regarding the cooperation between the two schools, I am in charge of the application.

Meiji asked Shirakawa-san to interact with different universities, and everyone would be happy to participate in such an event. ”

"No problem, I'll communicate with Meiji there. As for the cooperation between the two sides, I would like to ask Professor Matsumura to do so. ”

As Matsumura Masaaki said, Meiji must also be happy to communicate with Tokyo Institute of Technology.

If the two universities conduct joint research and development, the advantage is that the research and development speed is greatly accelerated, and the disadvantage is that Shirakawa Kaede may need to pay an extra amount of money.

However, this is not a matter for him at all, as long as the research and development progress can be accelerated, everything else is a trivial matter.

"The information engineering department of East Institute of Technology is also very good, and if Shirakawa has time, it doesn't hurt to go to the next building to have a look."

Matsumura Masaaki's Department of Information Engineering is closely related to digital signal reading technology.

The Electrical and Electronic Building and the Information Engineering Building are close together, and there is even a flyover between the two buildings.

Shirakawa Kaede, who has nothing to do, thinks about visiting it.

So he said goodbye to Professor Matsumura, and he took Asuka Kobayashi through the overpass to the Laboratory Building of the Department of Information Engineering.

Information engineering means information engineering or computer engineering.

As for the laboratory building, it is roughly the same as the computer room of the previous domestic school.

It's just that computers are still very expensive in this era, so as long as there is an opportunity.

Students also seize all the time to come here and experience the novelty of computers.

Kaede Shirakawa and Asuka Kobayashi were also in their youth, and they looked no different from the students of Tokyo University of Technology, so they also entered the computer room all the way unimpeded.

As soon as he entered the door, a classmate with his back to the door, half-long hair, slightly chubby, and large glasses frames was staring at the screen for a moment.

His fingers crackled on the keyboard, and he thought he was typing code.

But when Shirakawa Kaede looked at the screen, he was stunned for a moment.

A small figure of light on the computer screen is moving from side to side, and a point of light is jumping around on the little man's hand.

Is this a game?

Already have a computer game in the years? Shirakawa Kaede was surprised.

It's kind of funny, he sat next to the fat classmate and huddled with him.

"Classmate, it's interesting, what kind of game is this?"

"Hey, hey, it's a game I designed myself." When the fat classmate heard someone praise him, he turned his head and showed off very proudly.

"Awesome" Shirakawa Kaede gave a thumbs up, "What do you call a classmate?" ”

"Satoshi Iwata" The fat classmate continued to stare at the screen and played, and then replied without looking back.

Thank you all for your support!
