Without selling too much, Shirakawa Kaede walked to the display stand and began to explain.

"Everyone has the impression that there is a music player with this kind of sound quality and experience.

They should all be placed on the TV stand at home, or have a fixed table like a vinyl record player.

Then the family sits on the sofa in the living room and quietly enjoys their favorite music. ”

"But..."Shirakawa Kaede walked over to the CD and stopped, turning his head to look at the audience.

"Please note that the name I used to introduce this CD player is "Portable CD Player!"

As he spoke, Shirakawa Kaede held the small CD player on the display table with one hand and slowly lifted it.

In the dark, the other hand quickly shoved the battery box under the display table into the pocket behind his buttocks.

Then, in the midst of everyone's exclamations, he directly picked up the CD player and walked to the front of the stage.

It was all done in a matter of seconds, and the gaffers worked very well.

The lamppost was always on the CD player, and as for the small movement of Shirakawa Kaede's other hand, no one paid attention to it in the dim light.

In this way, the picture presented in front of everyone's eyes is that Shirakawa Kaede is holding the small CD player with one hand and pacing back and forth on the stage while chatting eloquently.

And the music in the stereo is non-stop, still playing the sweet singing voice of Seiko Matsuda.

"Portable CD players, as you see them now. It can be taken out of the house like a Walkman and enjoy high-quality music anytime, anywhere. ”

In the dim light, Norio Ohga's face couldn't see clearly. But Kozo Osone, who was sitting next to him, knew that the other party must be brewing a storm in his heart at this moment.

Not to mention the uncertain Norio Oga, even Kozo Osone, who has always been extremely arrogant and looks down on Shirakawa Electric, all showed an expression of disbelief at this time.

How do they do it? Is all this true? Are you sure the other person is not holding a model?

You must know that at this time, Sony couldn't even come up with a complete prototype, but Shirakawa Electric not only took it out, but even miniaturized it and made it into a portable mini model.

While Kozo Osone was stunned by Shirakawa's portable CD player, the audience was already cheering.

Although everyone here is rich or expensive, they also know that it is absolutely cool and amazing to be able to make such a small amount of music player with such high sound quality.

So cheers and applause rang out, and every innovative work that could surprise people deserved to be congratulated for it.

"As you can see, our D-01 portable CD player can be used as a mini music player to carry around.

Go outdoors, travel, and enjoy music anytime, anywhere, whenever you want.

It can even be used as part of the sound system, greatly simplifying the construction of a venue-type sound system. ”

As soon as he said that, Shirakawa Kaede turned around and prepared to continue the demonstration.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound, and the singing in the stereo paused slightly.

Shirakawa Kaede's heart jumped, and then he pretended to stop and fiddle with the microphone in his hand.

"Ahem~ I'm sorry, there's a problem with the microphone."

After slowing down, the singing returned to normal again. This time, he learned to be obedient, and walked slowly to the display table with a calm and unhurried pace.

And Heitaro Nakajima and Hiroshi Ogawa, who had been guarding the edge of the stage, saw that the CD player was back to normal again, so they wiped the sweat on their heads with palpitations.

Fortunately~Fortunately~, my own boss has a hurry, otherwise the fun will be great.

"The singing voices that everyone heard just now are provided by such a small speaker." Shirakawa Kaede's calm voice still sounded full of grace.

Click, another pillar of light came down, and a small three-dimensional speaker was placed next to the CD player.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention, he quickly stuffed the battery box in his butt pocket into the dark compartment under the display stand.

"This is Shirakawa Electric's new active speaker launched this year, the Edifier series."

After Shirakawa put the CD player away, he began to show his speakers again.

"Everyone found that no, this speaker can still make sound without an amplifier."

In this era, speakers can't work without the assistance of the amplifier, but the speakers of Shirakawa Electric stand alone on the display table, but they can still play music.

This is really unusual, because everyone in this room has a sound system in their homes, and the big amplifier is usually placed in the middle of the speakers, and it looks quite eye-catching.

Without it, the speaker is just a useless box, but apparently this is not the case with Shirakawa Electric's products.

"That's because we shrunk the amp down and stuffed it into this little speaker, which we call an active speaker.

So, as you can see, a CD player, an active speaker, you can build a sound system. ”

Shirakawa Kaede put the CD player and speaker together, and the two devices together only occupied a small space.

"Do you know what that means? This means that with this pairing, we can quickly build a sound system anywhere.

Outdoor activities, gatherings with friends, etc., we don't need to rely on professionals, we only need to use a single cable to do everything. ”

Under the light, there is nothing between the CD player and the speaker except a cable.

It is such a simple combination, but it achieves the effect of connecting a large number of equipment together.

What is Technology? That's technology! What is Innovation? That's innovation!

This operation of Shirakawa Electric is equivalent to the miniaturization and mobility of the audio system that can only be placed at home.

How big is the sound system at home, and how big is the sound system in front of you?

Without contrast, there is no intuitive manifestation of progress.

Thunderous applause rang out in the hall. The few foreigners sitting in front of them applauded enthusiastically, because they felt that this machine was simply made for the party.

They're fed up with the sheer amount of wires and the huge, bulky sound equipment they usually have to connect to a party, but with the little things in front of them, it's all so much easier.

When the applause stopped for a while, Shirakawa Kaede raised his hand to attract everyone's attention.

"So how much does this set of audio equipment cost?"

As his words fell, a fast-paced music sounded in the hall, and the lights began to flicker, and they grew faster and faster.

Finally waiting for everyone's emotions to be mobilized, Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand behind him, "Please look! ”

brush, behind the projector there is a portable CD player, and the parameters and price of the active speaker appear.

"Portable CD player, 49,800 yen!"

"Active speaker, 39,800 yen!"

"Oh~!" Huge cheers surged out of the audience, and the media reporters pressed the shutter in their hands again.

The people around them fell into a sea of revelry, and only Norio Oga and Yuki Osone sank like water on three sides.

The price on the projector was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was thought that such an innovative product would cost at least 100,000 yen.

I don't know that even half of it is, and even a portable CD player and an active speaker don't cost 100,000 yen.

It's so cheap!

Although everyone is not short of money, as investors, they know that such a price will have the possibility of exploding.

Isn't the first thing ordinary consumers think about is price?

This wave has stabilized, and the heads of many institutions are already planning to talk to that Shirakawa-san about stocks later.

"A CD can hold nearly 50 songs, which is about twice as many as a tape.

There is no doubt that our CD player allows everyone to swim in the ocean of music as much as they want.

Except, of course, for the speakers. A portable CD player can also be plugged in with headphones and then enjoy your personal music time with peace of mind. ”

As Shirakawa Kaede's words fell, several headphones from Shirakawa Electric appeared on the projection.

High-fidelity and noise-cancelling headphones from earbuds to over-ear headphones.

Advertising, of course, has to be done all at once.

If it weren't for the limited time, Shirakawa Kaede would have been eager to pull out every product in his house.

In the protracted applause, the audience watched everything with relish.

It's amazing, it deserves to be known for its innovation.

When it comes to surprising consumers, it never disappoints.

And Shirakawa Kaede on the stage was very happy when he saw everyone's enthusiasm.

It seems that the effect is good, especially the heads of investment institutions who are sitting with Daiichi Quanyin and Nomura Securities.

They have already exchanged words with these two underwriters and have a lot of chat.

If your stock is not bad, you should soon have the first wave of customers.

The introduction of the CD player came to an end, and the prototype and speaker around Shirakawa Kaede were pushed down by the staff along with the entire display table.

Ahem, there are a lot of doorways under the show, and the stage is not a place to stay for a long time. Now that it's done its mission, let's get out of the game.

Just when everyone thought that today's briefing was coming to an end, Shirakawa Kaede was still standing on the stage with no intention of leaving.

At this moment, in the darkness, there was a faint signal behind him, and Shirakawa Kaede nodded slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is just a new product that Shirakawa Electric is about to launch this year, so now let's talk about what other plans Shirakawa Electric has in the future."

Speaking of this, Shirakawa Kaede took out a black disk from his pocket and showed it off the stage.

"Do you know what this is?"

"Floppy disk~" The sound came from below.

After the shock just now, everyone's enthusiasm has been mobilized at this moment.

"That's right, it's a 700KB floppy disk, and I'm sure many friends have a floppy disk like this.

After all, it is the only device that can realize mobile storage, and it is indispensable in daily office and life. ”

Although everyone didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, seeing him talking eloquently, they all calmed down and listened to the careful explanation on the stage.

But Norio Ohga, who has always been silent, seems to understand something.

"Although floppy disks are indispensable removable storage devices, they have all kinds of disadvantages.

For example, the capacity is small, expensive, easy to damage, etc., all kinds of inconveniences.

So are there any other similar storage mediums that can replace a configuration like a floppy disk? ”

"Huh?" There was a sound of surprise in the audience.
