Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Shirakawa Electric has basically completed the design of the cover module of the Walkman and the internal movement.

Yasuda's rich experience, coupled with the assistance of Yamashita Daiji, accelerated the progress a lot.

It took only one month to come up with a preliminary design plan, and even completed the proofing.

For the design of the exterior, Shirakawa Kaede requested to be more compact, at least smaller than Sony's.

It sounds like the smaller and more advanced, the higher the difficulty.

In fact, Baichuan Electric's Walkman project is still positioned as a mid-to-low end internally.

Because it is a low-end product, the design requirements are relatively simple. Probably equivalent to some simplifications based on the Sony walkman.

For example, tone adjustment function, left and right channel adjustment, etc., some unnecessary functions should be reduced as much as possible.

There is also the iconic orange button on Sony's first-generation Walkman, the HOT LINE key.

Its function is to cooperate with the MIC on the top right side and two headphone output ports.

In this way, after plugging in two earphones, couples can talk directly through the microphone.

In Bai Chuanfeng's opinion, this function is completely useless. Two couples and two earphones share a Walkman, not to mention that the sound quality is affected by the increased power.

The two of them were so close that they leaned their heads together to listen to the Walkman, and said the hell into the microphone.

Afraid of too much wind, can't you hear?

So with a big wave of his hand, Bai Chuanfeng cut off all these, and used them as a weight-loss exercise for Sony's Walkman.

In the end, the button module designed by Yasuda and the others only retained the four keys of fast forward, rewind, play/pause, and stop.

After integration, the size is much smaller than the walkman, and it is more compact and lighter.

Bai Chuanfeng even thought of its name, "Flashman"!

The name is cool enough, right?

Your Sony has a walkman, and I have a flashman from Shirakawa Electric. Is this reasonable?

You are walk, I am flash, faster and more explosive than you, right?

Of course, this will be a matter for the future. For now, after the external strength is completed, only the internal strength remains.

"Mr. Yamazaki, I don't quite understand the electronic part.

But our positioning is only low-end, and some auxiliary circuits can be removed if they do not affect normal use. "

As for the electrical design, Bai Chuanfeng couldn't get in his mouth. But he still has some concerns about the expected design requirements.

Yamazaki Hui nodded to express his understanding, "Bai Chuan-kun, overall the design difficulty is not that great. The difficulty may be the later adjustment and testing."

The circuit design of the Walkman includes several parts such as a stereo circuit, a clock circuit, a power circuit, and a control circuit.

It is not difficult to design individually, but it will take some time to put them together so that they cooperate with each other without interfering with each other.

With Yamazaki Hui's level, the design part can be done in three or four weeks. But debugging can only be done step by step.

Fortunately, the disassembled Sony Walkman in front of me can be used as an effective reference.

Copying is absolutely impossible, don't look at the last time Professor Kikuchi restored the circuit diagram in minutes.

But if Bai Chuanfeng got it, he might not dare to use it.

This involves the protection of patents and intellectual property rights. If Baichuan Electric maintains its current scale, it may be fine.

But when it develops and grows one day, just wait for it to be cut leeks.

If you want to break out of the tight encirclement, how can you do it without your own two brushes.

He tried his best to find Hui Yamazaki, didn't he just want to redesign the circuit solution.

Although Bai Chuanfeng was in a hurry, he didn't want to put pressure on Yamazaki Hui. "Mr. Yamazaki, I will leave the circuit part to you.

But please don't worry, just take it step by step.

If it really doesn't work, at worst I'll have the cheek to ask Professor Kikuchi again. "

Yamazaki Hui couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard that, this junior is indeed the president of Sang, very tactful, and he is willing to save his own face.

"Bai Chuan-kun, don't worry, it's fine." Akira Yamazaki said these words flatly.

But that strong self-confidence can be clearly felt by Yasuda Masaki and Yamashita Daiji who are surrounded by him.

Are you kidding me that a doctoral student in the field of applied electronics can't handle a small Walkman?

Not only Yasuda and the others, but even Bai Chuanfeng had full confidence in this senior.

Although Yamazaki Hui came to support, but the envelope of Bai Chuanfeng's kraft paper bag had already been prepared, and it was a heavy bag.

The same is true for the brothers and sisters of Meiji, but the number is slightly smaller.

It doesn't matter whether they care or not, but Bai Chuanfeng has to be courteous.

Besides, there should not be many people who hate things like money.

For Yamazaki Hui, Bai Chuanfeng also worked hard, not only preparing a separate office for him.

It also includes a private car transfer, as well as a very considerable amount of reimbursement.

Although these arrangements are inconspicuous, comfortable and happy work and ordinary work are two different experiences.

Especially in the Ikuta campus, he served tea and water for Professor Kikuchi. But in Baichuan Electric, Baichuanfeng can serve him tea and water.

Bai Chuanfeng only did these things but didn't talk about them.

After setting up Akira Yamazaki, the shortcomings of Shirakawa Electric's R\u0026D team became long boards, and the functions were finally completed.

Leave the rest to them. Professionals do professional things.

Back in the president's office, Bai Chuanfeng began to think about the management of Bai Chuan Electric.

Although it has begun to make profits, there are many places where money needs to be spent.

Not to mention other things, just this old factory building, Bai Chuanfeng wanted to tear it down and rebuild it.

But when he thought that he might not still be here in the future, he gave up his plan to rebuild.

If the development goes well and the scale expands, then the new factory can only choose a new site. Most likely around Tokyo.

However, the factory will not be rebuilt, but it is still possible to renovate it.

Now the gray and even rusty walls really affect the view, giving people a feeling of being unreliable at first glance.

It should be good in Bai Chuanfeng's imagination if it is refurbished and tidied up again.

In addition to these, there are updates to production equipment. Some of the current machines are decades old, and the degree of automation is too low, which affects efficiency.

Immediately afterwards, there was the issue of the follow-up Walkman production. The production line, equipment, and employees were a headache to think about, all of which cost money.

Therefore, the great cause of picking up trash should not be discarded.

Do you want to say that Bai Chuanfeng still picks up the broken ones now? Pick it up, of course pick it up.

But now he didn't pick it up himself, but handed over the work to Ota.

As for who will repair it, it is not him, nor Yamashita Daiji, nor Kotaro.

The answer is other college students, not only from Meiji, but also from several surrounding universities.

Before taking over Baichuan Electric, Baichuanfeng had already started to post advertisements in various campuses.

Don't go back to your hometown during the summer vacation, and have no one to accompany you? Do you want to work part-time to earn some extra money? The bubble bath is more than enough.

Red Romance Recycling Alliance, welcome to join!

Bai Chuanfeng offered a handsome salary to those engineering and engineering boys who were idle and single.

At least it seems that the hourly wages of izakaya waiters and convenience store salesmen are much higher.

Apply what you have learned, decent, high salary, so there is no hesitation.

In less than a week, more than a dozen people signed up, and Bai Chuanfeng would not refuse anyone who came.

Ota and the others are in charge of picking up garbage in Tokyo, and those college students are in charge of repairing electrical appliances in a rented warehouse.

In the end, Bai Chuanfeng was responsible for providing channels to sell these second-hand electrical appliances, and a complete industrial chain was formed.

Are there any of those college students thinking of starting anew? The answer is yes.

It's just that, hehehe, Ota's subordinates are not vegetarians either.

Bai Chuanfeng didn't care too much, because he knew that the trash would not be easy to pick up in a few years.

The government is paying more and more attention, and the control will become stricter in the future. And when the bubble comes, whoever goes to the second-hand shop will not be able to spend all the money.

The matter of Bai Chuan Electric came to an end, and Bai Chuan Feng set his sights on another place.
