Chapter 2106 Promotional Video

"...Although I was poor at that time, my sense of happiness is not worse than it is now. Even if I have a net worth of over [-] million now, even if I have a plane owned by a villa company, I still miss my young days very much." When Duan Yun said this, his tone was somewhat emotional.

Hearing Duan Yun's words, the audience immediately burst into applause.

Money can indeed enable many people to enjoy a superior material life, but sometimes happiness has little to do with money. Even the poorest people still have their own happy time. Everyone has their own views on this and feelings, so when Duan Yun said these words, it did resonate with many people in the audience.

After these words were spoken, more people felt a little closer to Duan Yun, and at the same time, they also had a little more respect, because in the western world, people are also full of respect for self-made successful people.

"As you all know, China is a developing country. At that time, the per capita income of our country was less than 1/50 of that of the United States. According to this place, even in the mid-80s, our country's per capita GDP was only 200 US dollars. , while yours in the United States is 13500 US dollars, a difference of nearly 70 times, not to mention material consumption, many areas can’t even solve basic food and clothing.” Duan Yun paused, and then said: “But even so, because I live In the city, you can still get access to some good electronic products. At that time, some families with a relatively good economy, the main entertainment was the radio or tape recorder. Being able to buy a TV was something that many people envied. , and at that time, I also saved money to buy a tape recorder of my own."

Hearing Duan Yun talk about his early life, this undoubtedly aroused the great interest of the reporters in the audience. The reason is that they are interested in China, a mysterious ancient oriental country. Development has also attracted a certain degree of attention from the United States, especially in the fields of commerce and finance, and it is gradually becoming a hot spot for investment.

"...At that time, our domestic tape recorder had few functions and was not very durable, but it was a very fashionable home appliance. At that time, many young people in China liked to wear flared trousers and toad mirrors. In fact, it is also influenced by your American culture, just like Elvis Presley back then, so in terms of music and other popular culture, although our two countries are thousands of miles apart, and there are huge differences in lifestyle and income levels, music and other popular cultures are different. Popular culture has no borders, and these things have promoted the development of civilization to a certain extent, and also made our two countries have a certain sense of intimacy at the civil level." Duan Yun said.

What Duan Yun said was sincere. In fact, he was also intentionally narrowing the distance between these American reporters on the scene. Although the era of Elvis Presley has long passed, Mil Jackson is the strongest of this generation of Americans. He is an idol, but there are still many Americans who have a special feeling for Elvis Presley from the bottom of their hearts.

Sure enough, when Duan Yun mentioned Elvis Presley, the audience burst into applause, and many American journalists present showed smiles on their faces. Obviously, Duan Yun's speech was very useful.

"Times are advancing, technology and culture are also advancing. In the mid-80s, the Walkman replaced the bulky tape recorder and became the favorite audio-visual product for many Chinese people. My first Walkman was bought by Japan's Sony Corporation. The quality of the product is indeed very good, and it also brought me a lot of happiness." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "The biggest advantage of the Walkman is that it can be carried in the pocket, and it is very convenient to carry. It allows me to easily lie on the bed and enjoy the feast of music alone, and it is precisely because I like this product so much that after I founded the company, I also produced our domestically produced Walkman.”

At this moment, Duan Yun took out a Walkman produced by Tianyin Group from his pocket.

This Walkman is actually a decoration that Duan Yun placed on his private jet. It was the second-generation domestic Walkman produced by Tianyin Group in 1990. At that time, Duan Yun left five prototypes, two of which were sent to I gave the Rui family brothers and sisters a "trial", the other two are kept in this house, and one is in Duan Yun's own office.

Later, after having a private jet, in order to show the history of his company and out of nostalgia, Duan Yun put one of the Tianyin Walkmans on his private jet, so that it is convenient for the plane to receive VIPs on business. It is convenient to introduce the product history of your company, and it is usually used as a decoration.

The main reason why this Walkman was brought to the new product launch conference this time was to facilitate the introduction of some of the company’s early products to the American reporters present, because American companies are very particular about some historical details, Duan Yun took out this one The Walkman can also prove that Tianyin Group has started to develop and produce audio-visual products very early. It has a certain history and technical background accumulation, and it did not become a monk halfway to engage in the production of electronic products.

Sure enough, after seeing the Walkman that Duan Yun took out, it immediately attracted the attention of all the reporters present.

"The Walkman produced by our company has very few functions, and in terms of workmanship, it is not as good as Japanese products, but it is really cheap." Duan Yun smiled when he said this, and continued: " By the time this product was discontinued, we had produced a total of 740 million units, most of which were sold domestically, and some were sold abroad. Of course, you Americans may not be interested in our low-cost products from China.”

After Duan Yun finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter from the audience.

"The Walkman has always been very popular all over the world, but to be honest, it has been more than 20 years since the Walkman was born, and we are still using this product after more than 20 years. On the one hand, it can be regarded as a kind of helpless and disappointing thing." Duan Yun glanced at the audience, and then said: "But now, we have better products, which are better than traditional tape players. More clever, more functions, better sound quality, and it is a real digital audio-visual product, it can bring us into a new era of audio-visual era."

After Duan Yun finished speaking, a very beautiful promotional video suddenly appeared on Jing's huge monitor.

On the big screen, a very fashionable and beautiful Chinese girl was riding a bicycle in the park. The scenery on both sides was refreshing. When the bicycle reached the river, she took out a cigarette case from her pocket For a machine that is even smaller, I lightly pressed the circular remote control on the player a few times, and then put on the small and exquisite in-ear headphones. In the next subject, beautiful music sounded. Under the sunlight, the girl An obsessed expression appeared on her pretty face...
