Under Shirakawa Kaede's sincere eyes, Heitaro Nakajima fell into a tangle again.

To be honest, when Shirakawa Kaede came to him before, Heitaro Nakajima already had some guesses in his heart.

After all, he had just been beaten into the cold palace, and he followed him on the back foot, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a coincidence.

As an authentic traditional neon person, the word "job-hopping" is still a little unfamiliar to him.

I've been at Sony for so long that I've gotten used to ignoring the scenery outside.

The voice of "Senior Brother" Shirakawa Kaede made the troubled Nakajima Heitaro raise his gaze.

"Bachelor of Meiji, Monk of Toko University, Ph.D. from Kyushu University.

In the past ten years of academic career, has the senior brother watched them lose their former glory? ”

Heitaro Nakajima's eyes moved slightly.

"You're the one who designed the sound system for the Tokyo Olympics and you're a pioneer in digital audio.

Is it now willing to retreat into the background and disappear to the forefront of the technological front? ”

Heitaro Nakajima's mouth opened slightly, and his breathing gradually accelerated.

"Think about what the days will be like in the future?

Sitting at the window with a newspaper every day, reading from morning to evening, and then ending the day's work in a boring way?

Do you really want to live such a life, this talent will be washed away by time, and finally dimmed and annihilated? ”

Every word of Shirakawa Kaede was like a hammer blow again and again, and the face of Heitaro Nakajima turned pale.

"Come on, come to SIC, let's do what we want together.

Any idea, any research, senior brother can play at will.

No one will stop you here, and this will be a land of freedom of your mind.

The senior brother is responsible for imagining, and the junior brother is responsible for realization.

SIC is where you should stay, and the boring retirement life is simply an insult to the talent of the senior brother! ”

"Senior Brother" Heitaro Nakajima's eyes seemed to shine, "Can the president of SIC decide the direction of new technology development?" ”

"Yes!" Kaede Shirakawa gave the answer without hesitation.

"Even if there are no prospects for application of certain technologies, can the president of SIC stick to his decision?"

"Yes!"

"In the field of technology, does the SIC president have the right to appoint personnel and will not be interfered with by his parent company?"

"Of course!"

"Good!" Heitaro Nakajima nodded heavily, "I will ask my junior brother to take care of me in the future!" ”

"It's SIC's honor!" On Bai Chuanfeng's face, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face because of the talent's return.

The two brothers stretched out their hands and shook them heavily, and the cooperation was achieved!

"Senior brother, please put it!"

"Eh, where are you going?"

"Drinking, I said that I would invite my senior brother to drink."

"Haha, good!"

Heitaro Nakajima swept away the decadence and loss half a day ago, and the moment he made up his mind, a light lit up on his body.

Looking at his straightened back again, Shirakawa Kaede breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of relief.

In the end, his efforts were not in vain, and he had been greedy for this senior brother for a long time.

Looking at his rich experience and strong technical strength, you know that it is definitely worthy of such a solemn treatment by Shirakawa Kaede.

From the time he entered NHK in '47, Heitaro Nakajima began to engage in sound technology research.

So far, he has been immersed in this way for 35 years, and he is a well-known existence in the industry.

The developer of condenser microphones, the first developer of neon monitor speakers, and the developer of the world's first digital voice recorder.

The leading developer of PCM audio processors and the pioneer of CD technology.

These and a series of titles are one of the halos on his body.

With his joining, it is generally said that in the future, Shirakawa Electric will not have to worry about its strength in audio technology.

Walkmans, CD players, stereos, microphones, radios, tape recorders, and even some professional audio equipment will be part of Shirakawa's business in the future.

As a technical master, he also has a lot of management skills.

He served as the director of the research institute at Sony and the president of Aihua.

If it weren't for Shirakawa Kaede, maybe he might really be able to make a difference in Aihua.

So such a talent, how could Shirakawa Kaede miss it.

Sony does not lack technical personnel and all kinds of masters, but Shirakawa Electric lacks it.

The president of a research-oriented company like SIC was tailor-made for Heitaro Nakajima.

…

"Nakajima-san, have you already decided?"

Heitaro Nakajima, who was kneeling in front of Norio Oga, bowed his head slightly, but did not say anything.

Norio Ohga sighed, he knew that the other party had made up his mind.

"It's been hard work for so many years." said that he owed a debt to Heitaro Nakajima as a token of gratitude.

"It's the contemptible people who thank Oga-san for his care." Heitaro Nakajima respectfully returned the salute.

He has been with Sony for 10 years since 1971.

Whether the process is fortunate or sour, he still has some feelings here.

Now that you have decided to leave, it is also the right thing to say goodbye to the people who have taken care of you.

In fact, it was not only Norio Ohga, but also Jing Shenda, who recruited him in the first place, and he also visited him privately.

The founder of Sony is now dying.

Faced with him in the twilight of the hero, Heitaro Nakajima just drank a cup of tea with him very usually, chatted about the recent situation and left.

He didn't even mention his imminent departure from Sony to the other party, everything was so unusual.

Sony, he's been around for too long.

Facing it at this time is like facing a deep and old well.

Heitaro Nakajima felt a wave of fear for no reason, and he suddenly remembered that he was also worthy of entering the age of sixties.

It's been too long, and it's too old.

He was worried that if he stayed any longer, maybe one day his body would also exude the smell of decay.

Coming out of the Sony Building, Heitaro Nakajima seemed to welcome his new life.

He stood on the steps in front of the building, facing the rising sun, and closed his eyes tightly for a long time before exhaling with relief.

When he opened his eyes, Heitaro Nakajima left here without looking back, and rushed to his next destination again.

Where to? Naturally, it is to go to Aihua.

However, he went to Aihua not to say goodbye to anyone, but to take something with him.

Heitaro Nakajima ignored the pointing and pointing of Aihua employees along the way, and there were many discussions.

He walked straight to the door of an office and pushed it open.

There, Hiroshi Ogawa is struggling with the walkman in his hand with a sad face, and this is Aihua's after-sales maintenance department.

A senior sound engineer who has studied abroad and specializes in digital audio.

At this moment, he is holding a screwdriver with a dirty face and screwing?!

Heitaro Nakajima's brows twitched, and there was a trace of guilt in his heart.

And when Hiroshi Ogawa saw Heitaro Nakajima standing outside the door, he didn't react in a daze.

"Eh, Nakajima-san, why are you here? You're not..."

"Ogawa!" Heitaro Nakajima interrupted his continued questioning.

"Come with me and go do your favorite digital audio! Do the work that makes the most of your talents! Do research work that no one else can think of and that no one else expected! ”

Hiroshi Ogawa's eyes widened, and in his gaze, there seemed to be light on Heitaro Nakajima at the door.

Yes, he saw the light!

"Hay!" Hiroshi Ogawa threw down the tools in his hand, followed directly behind Heitaro Nakajima, ignored the crowd of onlookers, and strode away from Aihua.

…

"You two guys, you have to take it easy. Anyway, I'm also the president, San, the president, you know, right? ”

Bai Chuan Feng squinted at the two people in front of him, with a look of aura.

"Hey, hey," Daiji Yamashita and Kiryu Eleven laughed in unison.

"Don't worry, Shirakawa-kun, when I get my first month's salary from you, I will definitely invite you to take a bubble bath."

Kiryu Eleven Lang shook his long hair, and his movements were indescribably chic.

"Uh-huh," Daiji Yamashita nodded in agreement.

The eager eyes, as if he was just short of Shirakawa Kaede's salary, he could act immediately.

"Go, go," Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand in disgust, "You two guys don't say it's my classmates in the future, we can't afford to lose that person." ”

Bubble bath? Do we need a bubble bath now? We've been experiencing more than you can imagine.

"Na, the matter of the legal department is mostly consulted by Konishi Yasunosan.

He and Professor Kiyoshi Muto are classmates, so your internship performance professor will also know it clearly. ”

As soon as he heard Muto Kiyoshi, Kiryu Eleven immediately wilted.

This professor can be very strict, and Kiryu Eleven is tortured under him.

"And Yamashita-kun, Yasuda-san, and Akagi-kun, you can choose one of them according to your wishes.

Rest assured, whether it is a walkman or a handheld computer, it is the core business of Shirakawa Electric, and its status is equally important. ”

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede say this, Yamashita Daiji's eyes lit up, and he immediately said without hesitation, "I'm going to the handheld division." ”

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede thought he would go to the more familiar Walkman Division.

After all, in the past two years, he has often worked with Yasuda.

"How interesting it is to hold a handheld, it's a game console. What could be more exciting than being involved in the design of a gaming console? ”

Faced with Shirakawa Kaede's question, Daiji Yamashita did not hesitate to give his reasons.

Okay, if you're happy.

"Then it's decided, you can come to me at any time if you have something, and I'll be at Shirakawa Electric most of the time."

After arranging the two living treasures in the dormitory, Shirakawa Kaede began to devote himself to busy work again.

Alas, in the blink of an eye, they are all seniors, and they are about to graduate in less than a year.

…

In less than two weeks since I last talked to Heitaro Nakajima, the latter has completed the process and officially joined SIC.

With him joining, SIC finally has a backbone here.

Regardless of the strategy in the general direction, just the trivial matters in the operation process of the club need to be handled by special personnel.

However, most of these things are related to technology, and Shirakawa Kaede has been quite difficult to deal with before.

Now these things can finally be put aside and left to his senior brother to deal with.

Heitaro Nakajima is not only strong in audio technology, but also in the fields of electrical and engineering.

In Shirakawa Kaede's opinion, the headache may really be just some trivial things when he comes to him.

He already has a general understanding of the situation of SIC, but in order to really know what to do, he will probably have to get familiar with it in his future work.

But today, Shirakawa Kaede is going to take him and Hui Yamazaki to the first business negotiation of SIC.

Time is urgent, and the operation of the club can be understood slowly.

However, business opportunities are not waiting for anyone, and SIC's 8-bit enhanced chip 8089 has roughly completed the performance test.

After confirming that the obvious bugs have been eliminated, it has officially entered the commercial stage.

From the first tape-out in April to today's official preparation for commercial use in September, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

However, since the chip has been made, it is natural to bring it to the market now.
