"Yes!" Kaede Shirakawa confirmed their guess.

"Huh?!" This time, the suspicion was even more obvious, and at the same time, everyone couldn't help but start to get excited.

Judging from the dry goods that Shirakawa Kaede took out in the first half, what is worthy of his solemn introduction must be something surprising.

"Today, Shirakawa Electric will introduce to you a new storage technology, CD-ROM!"

As he spoke, Shirakawa Kaede took out a disc from his other pocket and showed it to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Shirakawa Electric's newly developed storage medium, CD-ROM.

Some friends may wonder, this is obviously a CD, why is it related to storage? ”

Shirakawa Kaede smiled, "That's true, because CD-ROM is indeed a type of CD disc.

However, in addition to storing music, CDs are now able to store all data formats such as text, images, and videos, thanks to the efforts of Shirakawa Electric. ”

This. Everyone in the audience looked at each other, they really didn't think that CDs could be used to store these things.

"So let's guess how big a little disc can be."

As he spoke, Shirakawa Kaede gestured to a beautiful reporter in the audience, who had blonde hair and a pair of turquoise eyes.

Obviously, this is a journalist from a Western country. Among the crowd of Oriental faces, she stands out.

"What do you call this beautiful young lady?" This sentence was said by Shirakawa Kaede in English.

"Please call me Jenny" Kaede Shirakawa's fluent English made her eyes light up.

"Okay Jenny, how much do you think this disc can hold?"

"I GUESS IT'S AT LEAST CLOSE TO 1M OR SO AS IT LOOKS HUGE. It's much larger than a floppy disk, so I guess it has a lot of capacity as well. ”

"Oh~" Shirakawa Kaede shrugged, "Very reasonable analysis, thank you Miss Jenny, please take a seat." ”

The other party nodded with a smile, and then sat down generously.

"And what do you call this gentleman?"

A young man with a somewhat Mediterranean hairstyle stood up in the audience, "My name is Masayoshi Son." ”

Well? Shirakawa Kaede blinked, this

He looked up again to make sure it was the iconic braincase.

"Okay, Mr. Sun, how much capacity do you think this disc has?"

"I don't know the exact capacity of it, but I think it must be much more than a floppy disk." The braincase was not stage frightened at all, and picked up the microphone and talked eloquently.

"Oh~, why did Your Excellency say this?" Kaede Shirakawa came to be interested.

"Because I think that something worthy of such a solemn introduction by Shirakawa-san will definitely surprise everyone."

Shirakawa Feng looked at him fixedly for two seconds, and then smiled, "Thank you Mr. Sun for your answer." ”

"So how big is the capacity of this disc, let's find out together."

As his words fell, the specifications of CD-ROM appeared on the huge projector behind him.

And when everyone saw the above parameters clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, as you can see, a CD-ROM has a storage capacity of 700 MB!

This is about 1,000 times the storage capacity of a floppy disk, which can hold nearly 3,700 100,000 words! ”

Wow~ The audience is even more boiling.

700MB？！ Compared with the capacity of a floppy disk of a few hundred kilobytes, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Even if you don't understand this concept, you can understand what 3,700 books and 100,000 words mean, which is completely suitable for a library.

A small CD, a library.

This. It's not a grade at all, or CD-ROM discs look more like futuristic technology to them.

Because the technical span is too large, you can understand the capacity of 5MB and 10MB.

But 700MB is completely beyond imagination, and it is not considered by everyone at all.

So everyone's surprise and shock are undisguised and can't be faked.

"Surprised?" Looking at the stunned crowd in the audience, Bai Chuanfeng asked with a smile.

"Hahayi~" stammered, and scattered voices were heard from time to time.

"It's right to be surprised, because Shirakawa Electric's products can always bring unexpected surprises to everyone."

This immodest boast not only did not arouse the disgust of everyone, but won the boiling applause from the audience.

"700MB is just the advantage in terms of capacity, and 20 years is the minimum lifespan of a CD disc if it is kept properly.

In addition, it is quite inexpensive, I can assure you all. In the next three years, no! Within two years, CDs will be affordable for all.

Buying a disc is as easy as buying a book, and it doesn't put financial pressure on anyone. ”

Compact discs, which have so many advantages, are even cheaper than books.

Although all of you are investors, there will be no pressure to spend.

But they also understand that cheap means accessibility, and it also means an endless market.

Seeing their eyes shining, Shirakawa Kaede pinched the disc and shook it.

"Okay, now let's experience the joy of CD-ROM storage."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and everyone craned their necks to see what was so special about the so-called optical disc storage.

And by Shirakawa Kaede's side, a computer has already been prepared, and even the camera is already in place.

"This is the device that reads CDs, optical drives." Kaede Shirakawa gently pushed the disc into the door of the drive.

Soon a simple progress bar window appeared on the computer interface.

Unlike floppy disks, optical drives can read data very quickly, and the progress bar runs to the end.

Here Bai Chuan Feng played a cautious eye, the data in the disc was not stuffed at all, only tens of megabytes.

Add in four times the scanning speed, and the disk reading speed is of course skyrocketing.

But the audience didn't know, they only saw that the reading was over.

It's too fast, Cow Pen PLUS!

"Please see that the data has been processed, just click on the icon, and the information in the disc is at our disposal."

Shirakawa Kaede clicked on the document very smoothly, and then he clicked on the processed picture again.

With a slight delay but no more than two seconds, a night view of Tokyo Tower is displayed on the computer screen.

"Wow!" The impact of pictures is more intuitive and convincing than text.

700MB, and then think about the floppy disk of a few hundred KB, many investors are excited.

There is a head, there is definitely a head!

"Our CD-ROMs have a larger capacity and faster read speeds. But our price is definitely ten, a hundred times cheaper than a floppy disk!

Although this technology has not yet been popularized and has not been thoroughly perfected. But trust me, the future of discs is absolutely immense!

From the moment it was born, floppy disks have entered the countdown to obsolescence! ”

This resounding declaration won bursts of applause from the audience.

They applauded the emergence of new technologies, as well as the ambitious Kaede Shirakawa.

"Of course, Shirakawa Electric's new products are much more than that, and we have made great strides in the development of next-generation walkmans, handhelds, and home games.

As for the introduction of this part, we will introduce it separately later. ”

Hearing the words handheld and home game console, Pu Yamauchi, who had been quiet, suddenly sat up straight.

However, it's a pity that Shirakawa Kaede didn't talk about it in depth, because they are a little insufficient compared to the two technologies just introduced.

He also wanted to have a real machine demonstration, but the next generation of handheld computers and home games couldn't be rubbed by hand.

At this time, Iwata Satoshi and the others were still busy adjusting the chip, after all, they switched to 8-bit chips, and some work had to be restarted.

However, it will only drag on for too long, and we will definitely be able to meet the public next year.

"Thank you all for coming, that's why we at Shirakawa Electric went public to raise more funds.

As long as enough funds are raised, I believe that this technology will soon be available to everyone.

The following is to ask Watanabe-san, who is the first to persuade the bank, to explain the detailed rules of this offering. ”

The introduction of Shirakawa Electric, coupled with the release of two new products, probably took more than an hour.

For such a long time, it was basically Shirakawa Kaede who was supporting the field alone.

However, the following professional financial games should be taken over by First Persuasion Bank and Nomura Securities.

What is the purpose of the briefing meeting, isn't it just to sell stocks?

Shirakawa Kaede is responsible for blowing, and they are responsible for selling the first persuasion silver, and everyone has a clear division of labor.

Soon Ichiro Watanabe, who had already been ready, walked onto the stage gracefully, and below was his home field.

As the largest underwriter of Shirakawa Electric's listing, it depends on him how much the stock can be sold and what range the issue price can be set.

While Ichiro Watanabe was talking, Shirakawa Kaede got off the stage and quietly wiped his sweat.

Damn, on the surface of the briefing, it seems that various black technologies have appeared one after another, which makes the audience feel very excited.

But Shirakawa Kaede's back was already soaked, because many of the arrangements in the venue were like walking a tightrope, very empty.

For example, the battery box of a portable CD player, for aesthetics. Kaede Shirakawa kept hiding it in the back of his ass pocket, and he didn't even dare to turn around.

There is also the problem of shock resistance of the CD player, which is too delicate. If Shirakawa Kaede moves a little bigger, there is a tendency to strike.

He was walking on thin ice on stage, cautious, for fear of messing up Shirakawa's first appearance.

There is also a special computer for reading discs, and today it was miraculously not down, which is really lucky.

To be honest, these two things are not completely finalized, and they are both hand-rubbed products.

It's still a bit too reluctant to use them as a prototype for the press conference.

But there is no way, in order not to delay the listing process, it can only be hard.

Besides, isn't it normal to blow every second at the press conference, and the Apple conference in later generations will be much more excessive.

As for the release of what portable CD player, it is false propaganda that does not reflect the existence of a battery box?

Inexistent!

Today's main purpose of Shirakawa Kaede is to convince investors that Shirakawa Electric's black technology is absolutely shocking.

Raising the market value is the ultimate goal, and other real configurations can be slowly released in the poster later.

This is not false advertising, after all, I gave detailed instructions.

As for saying that the audience's focus is on the press conference, that's their business, and what does this have to do with Shirakawa Kaede.

"Senior Brother Shirakawa is very lucky, everything is going well~Everything is going well~"

Seeing Shirakawa Kaede coming down, Heitaro Nakajima was more relieved than him. In the audience, he and Hiroshi Ogawa were all sweaty.

Now that the briefing meeting is finally over, the two technical leaders are also like the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and their faces are palpitating.

"Thanks to your efforts, Shirakawa Electric's briefing finally lived up to expectations."

"Senior Brother Shirakawa's hosting is the most important thing." Suddenly, Heitaro Nakajima froze in place, looking a little embarrassed.

Well? Shirakawa Kaede turned his head.

"Ohga-san?"

It turned out that at some point, Norio Oga was already standing not far behind Shirakawa Kaede, no wonder Heitaro Nakajima had this expression.

"Senior Brother Shirakawa, I'm going to get busy first" Heitaro Nakajima explained to Shirakawa Kaede first, and then turned his gaze to Yamato Norio and nodded, "Ohga-san." ”

The latter bowed slightly, so that he had said hello. And Nakajima Heitaro didn't hesitate much, calmly turned around and left here.

Norio Ohga glanced at the departing Nakajima Heitaro with complicated eyes, and he couldn't tell whether he was feeling emotion or regret in his heart.

If at the beginning

Forget it, the past can't put the word "if" in front of them.

Norio Oga's expression became serious again, "Shirakawa-san, Your Excellency seems to have broken his promise!" ”

Shirakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"Why did Ogaga-san say this, the contemptible person thinks that he has never violated any agreement, are you misunderstanding me?"

"Misunderstanding?" The smile of the old days has long been replaced by coldness, "At Yamaguchi Momoe-san's wedding last year, does Shirakawa-san still remember our conversation?" ”

What Norio Oga said was the tacit understanding between each other on the CD player that Sony would not grab the handheld market of Shirakawa Electric in exchange for Shirakawa Electric not being able to launch a CD player before Sony.

Shirakawa Kaede remembered, of course, but he had something to say about it.
