Giant of the times

In this life, people are a little unfamiliar with Steve Jobs.

However, from the moment Steve Jobs became the CEO of Apple, he was destined to have an extraordinary life!

At this moment, Jobs, who was under the spotlight, looked very calm and confident.

"Since the founding of Mr. Chronos Li, Apple has created many legendary products, such as the Apple-l, the world's first personal computer, which launched a personal computer revolution; and the Walkman tape player, which led the era of portable music. Trend! However, during the period when Chronos·Li left Apple, Apple made many bad decisions and almost reached the brink of bankruptcy! But now, Chronos·Li is back and brings a device that can save Great product from Apple!”

Jobs said impassionedly, "Now, let us bring out the CD-Walkman with the warmest applause!!!"

The whole audience was shocked, applauding and looking at the big screen.

On the big screen, a beautiful picture appeared at this moment, the blue and white round metal box, beautiful, it can be called a classic that perfectly combines fashion sense with technology sense!

"Wow, what a beautiful Walkman! I think my daughter will love this Walkman very much!"

"The disc-shaped and slender figure has the feeling of an alien flying saucer. The colors are bright and dazzling. It will definitely attract attention when you show it off!"

"This is the CD-Walkman?! The tape has been replaced by CD, but what is CD?"

Many people were surprised and confused.

However, it is true that few people know the word CD now.

Jobs naturally knew what people were confused about, and the focus of CD-Walkman was also on CD, so he explained: "The full name of CD is Compact-Disc, which is a compressed optical disc. It can store a large amount of data and can also be called a laser disc or optical disc. , because it requires the use of reflected laser to read data. CD discs are small in size, highly durable, noiseless, low in cost but have sound quality that is not that of vinyl records. They have replaced vinyl records as music storage media. best choice……"

Before Jobs could finish speaking, the audience was already in an uproar and people started talking.

"Can CDs be that good? And they have to replace vinyl records. How is this possible..."

“The extremely cheap music tapes cannot replace vinyl records, but can CDs?”

People obviously don't believe it.

Jobs took the microphone and said loudly: "Please be quiet, everyone. This is not my personal opinion, but what Chronos Li said. I fully agree with his opinion!"

Not only did the audience not become quiet, but the movement became even louder.

"Damn it, since Chronos Li said this, there must be some truth to it..."

"Yes, yes, as long as it's what Chronos Li says, then I believe it!"

"No, are CDs really going to replace vinyl records? This will have a huge impact on the record industry!!!"

"..."

Jobs showed a wry smile, and he had to wait for the discussion to subside before speaking.

After a while, he said: "CD records are different from the hissing sound of vinyl records. They give people a crystal-clear music experience, and the sound quality is very good. The cost of producing CDs is estimated to be It only costs a few cents in plastic and takes up little space for transportation, so it can be sold for tens of dollars. In addition, CD records will not jump, and the amazing profits and consumer acceptance and affordability are obvious.

The mass production of vinyl alone costs several dollars per disc just by pressing the copper mold. This does not include the cost of polyethylene raw materials, and transportation is heavy and takes up space. It is not easy to store and is prone to wear and tear. If the thread is sold for tens of dollars, I'm afraid the profit will not be large and consumers will not be interested in buying it. In contrast, vinyl will inevitably be replaced by CD in the mainstream market!

In addition, vinyl records can only store more than 20 songs, but CDs can store an astonishing 730 million bytes of information and can store hundreds of songs. "

People were stunned and stunned.

Jobs continued: "The CD-Walkman is the world's first portable CD player. It is easy to carry and has better sound quality than any tape player on the market. It is almost as effective as a vinyl record player! You can try it out and feel it. Next, we will A CD-Walkman will be used to play a song."

As he spoke, Jobs nodded to the staff on the right side of the stage.

Ten seconds later, singing rang out at the press conference.

Since Christmas is coming soon, I played a Christmas song "Jingle Bells". (Jingle bell)

The guests were surprised that the sound quality was indeed no worse than vinyl records.

At this time, an MV appeared on the screen. A group of children dressed in new clothes surrounded Santa Claus and sang the song together. There were lyrics under the screen.

I don’t know who started it at the press conference and started singing along with the song, and then more and more people joined in.

“Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey

…

…”

Not long after, everyone at the press conference was singing. The scene was spectacular and shocking!

Li Zetian sat in front of the TV, dumbfounded. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'll go, that's okay!!! Steve Jobs really knows how to play, and made the press conference so sensational and interesting!"

Yu Jingqiu laughed and said: "Haha, this is the first time I have seen such a unique press conference..."

"Such a scene is very shocking, and fully reflects the excellence of the CD-Walkman. It will definitely cause a sensation in the United States, create hot topics, and attract the attention of countless people. Mr. Li, Steve Jobs is indeed an excellent marketing master! "Dongfang Yuqin praised.

"Yeah!" Li Zetian nodded.

After the song ended, many people at the press conference were still excited. This may be the first time in their lives that they sang "Jingle Bells" with thousands of people, and they will remember it for the rest of their lives.

Jobs walked to the middle of the dance and said with a smile: "Everyone has just listened to the sound quality of the CD-Walkman. No tape player on the market can match it! Of course, you may ask, are all the tape players on the market comparable to it?" CD records, what’s the point of buying a CD-Walkman?

Please rest assured that Violet Records has cooperated with Apple.

On the day the CD-Walkman was released, CD records from Violet Records could be purchased around the world.

Subsequently, Apple will also cooperate with more record companies, and I believe that these record companies will also launch CD records soon! Therefore, CD-Walkman users do not have to worry about not having any songs to listen to after buying the machine.

In addition to the CD-Walkman portable player, Apple will also launch a home CD player later, with better sound quality and richer functions, giving people a feeling like a music palace! "

It was Steve Jobs' suggestion to develop a home CD player. He believed that portable CD players were good, but home CD players also had a huge market, and this would be conducive to the establishment of CD standards and the development of CD records, which would greatly to promote CD-Walkman sales.

Li Zetian happily accepted his suggestion.

PS; there is one more update!
