Reborn Tokyo Golden Age.

Chapter 242 Time Management Master
After hanging up the phone, Bai Chuanfeng rested his chin on his fingers and began to think carefully.

Norio Oga's mind doesn't seem to be focused on the Walkman business at all.

When Bai Chuanfeng asked just now, he could even hear his voice flipping through the report on the opposite side.

As for the fluctuations in what the other party said, he didn't believe a word.

Shirakawa Electric's revenue has dropped by almost one-fifth, so Sony's should also drop by at least 15%.

After more than a year of back-and-forth contests between the two parties, they generally know each other's actual market share well.

Norio Oga's ambiguous answer was either deliberately vague, or he didn't pay much attention to this information.

And according to what Bai Chuanfeng heard from the phone just now, there is a high probability that it is the latter.

So what does Norio Ohga really care about?Of course it's a CD player.

As Heitaro Nakajima said in the izakaya last time, CD is Sony's next strategic focus.

Norio Ohga devoted all his attention to the research and development of the CD player, and judging from his tone on the phone, it seemed that the progress was going well.

Reminiscent of his rhetoric at the International Audio Conference held in Tokyo last time, he will launch a commercial CD player next year.

Bai Chuanfeng can almost conclude that the prototype of the Sony CD player should be released soon, or has already been released.

It is worthy of being a giant in the electronic technology industry, and its research and development capabilities are astonishingly strong.

Baichuan Electric is currently developing its own CD player, but the progress is hard to describe.

Last week, the 16-bit chips at SIC had just been taped out, and Bai Chuanfeng sent some to Bai Chuan Electric and HAL Research Institute.

When a new chip comes out, everything will be fine if it doesn't pass the test.

The real test of it, of course, is the actual product application.

Whether there are unknown BUGs or defects will be discovered one after another in the subsequent practical use.

SIC8081 will be used for audio decoding in Shirakawa Electric, and it will be used as a home game console CPU in HAL.

While developing the next generation of products, while running into the cooperation relationship between its own designers and chips, it can kill two birds with one stone.

However, it has been nearly a year since the project of the CD player was finalized, and the delivery of the chip has been over a week, so I just don’t know how it is going.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuanfeng simply got up and walked downstairs.

Now the production of Shirakawa Electric is basically concentrated in Kawasaki, but the research and development is still kept here in Ota District.

With the mobilization of the Tokyo government, more and more factories began to relocate.

Because Shirakawa Electric makes electronic products, and most of the components are assembled, there is no pollution, so the factory is still reserved.

However, according to his estimation, it won't last for a few years, and there is a high probability that they will all move out within two or three years.

Soon came to the R&D department on the second floor, and Bai Chuanfeng entered the R&D center under the leadership of Yasuda and the others.

"This is our CD player?" Bai Chuanfeng looked at the machine in front of him, frowning almost into a word "Chuan".

How can this be a CD player? Some people would believe that it is a large TV.

With its rugged appearance and bulky volume, it is simply a "silly big man".

This has nothing to do with the tall CD player in Bai Chuanfeng's impression.

"Now it's just for simulation, not a prototype." Somewhat embarrassed, Yasuda quickly explained.

Not a prototype?Tsk, the news is mixed.

The good thing is, at last, Shirakawa Electric's future CD players won't be as ugly as they are now.

The bad thing is that there is no prototype, which means that the progress is worrying.

"Has the chip been replaced?" Slow down, but Bai Chuanfeng is more concerned about the performance of the chip.

Hearing his question, Yasuda nodded, "It has been changed."

"How is the performance?" Bai Chuanfeng looked forward with anticipation.

"Although there are some minor flaws, the overall performance is very good!"

Speaking of this, Yasuda is a little excited. The decoding chip they used before was an 8-bit processor.

Compared with analog audio, digital audio has made great progress. Even the sound quality of experimental products is better than Baichuan Electric's current high-end Walkman.

Change to a 16-bit chip at this time, needless to say, Niubi PLUS!

"Bai Chuan-san, listen to it for yourself." Yasuda had already found a CD, opened the door of the "silly big guy" in front of him and stuffed it in.

After pressing the switch key, the silver disc inside can be seen spinning quickly through the transparent door.

Then a red laser beam above the inside of the machine hit the surface of the disc.

Soon the passionate cello came, this is Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony".

Hearing the music, Bai Chuanfeng's frown finally relaxed, it wasn't because the music was good.

But the clear sound quality and clean atmosphere are really outstanding.

Leaving aside the metaphysical issues of sound quality, the almost non-existent background noise will beat the current tape machines.

After all, it is analog audio, and the noise when the tape is rubbed is clearly audible to the human ear.

But the stupid big man in front of him doesn't have this problem at all, his voice is too clean.

Sure enough, a technology that can be regarded as a strategic focus by Sony does have its killer feature.

The machine was a little ugly, but it finally worked.

Bai Chuanfeng patted it, and the stupid big man in front of him said, "It's too big. We are making consumer electronics products, and exquisiteness is the eternal theme."

"Hay" Yasuda nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Record all the problems encountered during actual use, and SIC will be responsible for individual optimization in the future."

The current chip is only an experimental product, and there is still a long way to go when it is commercially available.

After watching the development of the CD player, Bai Chuanfeng had a rough idea in mind.

It is estimated that Baichuan Electric's CD player will not be ready for commercial use until at least next year.

The development of the CD player is in an orderly manner, and the progress of the SIC is also going smoothly.

This year's important tasks are progressing as planned, and Bai Chuanfeng's mood has relaxed a lot.

Taking advantage of his good mood, at the end of April today, he planned to go to the port area to see a high-end apartment he bought before.

For the real estate here, I asked Nomura Securities to help me choose the place.

It's just that I just took a rough look last time, so I didn't care anymore.

Now two or three months have passed, and the home improvement service company has already completed the decoration here.

"Wow, it's really spacious!" As soon as Matsuda Seiko opened the door, he was shocked by the inhumane entrance in front of him.

That's right, Matsuda Seiko is also accompanying him to view the house today.

Her concert wasn't over yet, but she just sneaked out while she was busy changing venues.

Seeing the mansion in front of him at this moment, the surprised little Huya bared his teeth.

The bright marble floor and the fine-grained printing on the wall are elegant and not dazzling.

This porch is about a dozen square meters, and the wooden door of the cloakroom on the left is made of precious wood.

After opening the spacious walk-in cloakroom, she screamed excitedly.

Then he went around the entrance without stopping and went straight to the living room.

"Bai Chuan-kun, it's really luxurious!"

Bai Chuanfeng, who was changing shoes at the entrance from afar, could hear her exclamation.

He smiled and stepped into the living room.

A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows gives the living room a wide and bright view.

At this moment, Seiko Matsuda was lying in front of the glass curtain wall, looking not far away.

"Shirakawa-kun, Tokyo Tower!" Matsuda Seiko sighed excitedly, pointing at the Tokyo Tower not far from the window.

The apartment here in Minato is close to Tokyo Tower, and because it is a high-rise building, you can have a panoramic view of the bustling below.

Looking up, the Tokyo Tower in front of you is within reach.

"I never thought that I would live so close to Tokyo Tower."

Seeing her posture bent over in front of him is really alluring.

Bai Chuanfeng simply hugged her from behind, feeling the softness of her body.

"Hey" Seiko Matsuda turned his head and looked at him with big shining eyes.

"How about it? The view here is pretty good." Bai Chuanfeng felt the softness in his hands while looking into the distance through the glass.

Tsk, it feels like the beauty is in my arms, but the needle doesn't poke.

"Yeah!" Matsuda Seiko nodded contentedly. She has never seen anything in the world, but she has never seen such a mansion.

"But it should cost a lot of money." The price of this high-end tower apartment is much more expensive than an ordinary one-family building.

"Fortunately." Bai Chuanfeng smiled and said nothing.

It's only a few hundred million yen, which is indeed better than another mansion in Chiyoda.

In the port area, of course high-rise apartments are the most suitable.

Only at such a height can one appreciate the most prosperous Tokyo.

Although Bai Chuanfeng didn't say it, Matsuda Seiko could probably guess that this is undoubtedly another astronomical figure for her.

Sure enough, Mr. Bai Chuan has his own in his heart, as for the rumors in the circle.

Hmph, Seiko Matsuda grinds his little canine teeth.

Eh, Bai Chuanfeng looked down, did he think again?

In that case
He directly lowered his body and hugged Matsuda Seiko who was grinding his teeth.

"Eh?!" A cry of surprise sounded.

But before she could struggle, Bai Chuanfeng had already carried the figure into the bathroom.

"I didn't bring any clothes~" Seiko Matsuda's charming voice came from afar.

"Wait to buy later"

hiss~la~
In Chiyoda District at night, Bai Chuanfeng, who had been exercising for most of the afternoon, walked out of the car calmly.

Um?The lights in the bedrooms of the house are already on.

Bai Chuanfeng tidied his clothes calmly, then pushed open the gate of the yard and walked in.

Passing through the small garden in the front yard, before entering the living room, a woman in her 30s stood at the door and saluted Bai Chuanfeng. "Sir, you are back."

"En." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, and then he turned his gaze upstairs.

"Miss Tanaka came back earlier today." The nanny named Jundai beside him explained softly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps on the walnut stairs.

"Bai Chuan-kun" showed a happy smile on his delicate face, and his steps went down a little faster.

"I'm back~" Yuko Tanaka took his coat naturally, tidied it up and hung it in the cloakroom.

"Senior sister is so early today?" Bai Chuanfeng rubbed his waist secretly. Fortunately, he didn't feel anything, and he should be able to exercise again.

Hearing that he still called herself "Senior Sister", Yuko Tanaka showed a helpless smile.

But forget it, let him go.

"Recently I've been a little more relaxed" Ever since she completed the transformation from an artist to a behind-the-scenes boss, Yuko Tanaka has become a lot more relaxed.

Work matters are completely up to her.Pick it up if you like it, flip it if you're not interested.

Not to mention the feeling of being in charge of one's own home is quite fascinating.

"Yeah, that just happens to help the house clean up."

He and Yuko Tanaka are not living together, but the latter will come over as long as there is time.

Recently, I have more free time, and the number of times I come here is also frequent.

But when Bai Chuanfeng assigned him a task, Yuko Tanaka became a little happy instead.

"Let's eat first, and I'll rub your back after you eat."

"Uh, good!"

Bai Chuanfeng secretly rejoiced that the clothes had been changed in advance, so there should be nothing left behind.
