Chapter 1052 Flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall
“How many of you have used a Sony Walkman?”

Li Dongling looked at the crowd below and asked everyone present.

I saw that more than one-third of the people present raised their arms.

"And what about other brands of Walkman?"

This time, almost everyone present raised their arms. The Walkman is a product that is almost the memory of a generation. Even if you have never used a Sony brand, you have used other brands to some extent.

"How much do you spend every year on Walkman tapes or CDs?"

Listening to Li Dongling's words on the stage, Feng Miaoyu in the audience fell into deep thought. She had never estimated the money spent on tapes and discs.

This kind of things, as long as you buy a Walkman, tapes, discs and other things are necessary to buy, otherwise what's the difference between it and buying a fire stick?
After hearing Mr. Li's opening words, and combining them with Feiyan Technology's achievements in the radio field over the years, Feng Miaoyu vaguely guessed what field Feiyan Technology's new product would be in.

But this made Feng Miaoyu even more curious. To be honest, Sony has already transferred the tax revenue for portable music players such as Walkman and CD to the future for a hundred years.

Sony's Walkman is such a classic that it is almost impossible for later generations to surpass it!
From Walkman to CD player, Sony's machines are too classic, and almost no other manufacturer can match them.

Even Dongling Hi-Tech, which previously launched a repeater, only marketed it as a substitute for a Walkman. It sold well because it could be used to listen to music and learn foreign languages, and its price was even cheaper than that of a Sony Walkman.

Now that Dongling Hi-Tech and Feiyan Technology have entered the player industry, Feng Miaoyu can't help but become curious. She wonders what Dongling Hi-Tech can do this time.

"So how many of the first tapes and discs that everyone bought are still intact and can still be listened to?"

"How many people still carry a Walkman when they go out? How many cassettes of their favorite songs can they carry with them each time?"

Mr. Li raised a long list of questions, causing many people at the press conference to fall into deep thought.

Tapes and CDs will wear out slowly, and if you listen to them too much, they will inevitably have problems. And most people, even if they like listening to music, can't possibly carry dozens of CDs with them when they go out.

"Every generation has its own music listening device, from speakers in the 1980s to Walkmans in the 1990s. Now that we are almost at the millennium, the new generation should have their own new music listening device!"

As soon as Li Dongling finished speaking, the lights on the stage focused on the stage, and an emcee came up holding a tray.

Under the gaze of the whole audience, Li Dongling removed the cloth on the tray, revealing an exquisite gift box. This item cost $399, and if it wasn’t given an exquisite packaging, it would seem like he was not sincere in making a profit!
When Li Dongling opened the gift box and took out the white MP3 player inside, the projection of Feiyan MP3 appeared on the big screen behind him. Now the cameras were almost flashing into a white field, and a large number of cameras also aimed their lenses firmly at the MP3 player in the hands of Mr. Li.

Feng Miaoyu looked at the small and exquisite machine. At first glance, she was impressed by its exquisiteness, and at second, she was impressed by its beauty. She was not a hardcore electronic product user, but when she saw this machine, she couldn't help but feel a sense of the beauty of industrial machinery.

But what puzzled Feng Miaoyu was that although the Feiyan MP3 was indeed compact, it obviously could not accommodate cassettes or CDs.

"This is Feiyan MP3 digital music player industry, it will redefine music player products!"

Li Dongling held up an MP3 in his hand and talked about Feiyan Technology's new products.

"No need for tapes, CDs, or carrying those things every time you go out. All you need is an MP3 player, and you can listen to your favorite music anytime, anywhere!"

Li Dongling turned on the Feiyan MP3, and a recently popular pop song "See You in 3" came out from the Feiyan MP, and then resounded throughout the press conference through the microphone.

When the song appeared, there was a cry of surprise from everyone present, and Feng Miaoyu was no exception. She had guessed that the new product was a player, but when it really played the song, Feng Miaoyu was still surprised. This broke her fixed impression of music players!

"Its music downloading method is also very simple, all you need is a computer and a Shenzhou brand USB data cable!"

An engineer from Feiyan Technology walked onto the stage carrying a notebook with the Shenzhou logo.

Dongling Hi-Tech has not yet launched laptops, but how could we use laptops from other brands on an occasion like today?

With Dongling Hi-Tech's current strength, it would not be difficult for it to assemble a laptop computer for experiments from the laboratory.

"As long as you have a computer, connect the Feiyan MP3 to the computer, and then go to the Himalaya Radio website, you can download your favorite songs on the Himalaya Music Channel and transfer them to the Feiyan MP3 player!"

Listening to Li Dongling's words, an engineer from Feiyan Technology also came on stage to demonstrate how to download songs to an MP3 player.

Everyone at the press conference had their eyes fixed on the projector. To be honest, today's press conference had far exceeded their expectations.

"The basic version of Feiyan MP3 has 32M memory, which can hold 12 songs, which is equivalent to the song capacity of a tape or CD!
But Feiyan MP3 supports memory expansion. If you add a Shenzhou memory card with a maximum memory of 128M, the maximum download capacity can reach 60 songs, which is equivalent to installing 4 tapes or 3 CDs in this MP3 player! "

Upon hearing this, there was a sudden cry of surprise from the audience, followed by loud applause.

At the press conference, those with a keen sense of smell, when they heard this, actually understood in their hearts that the era of portable players might be coming to an end, today, in the hands of Feiyan MP3!

"Unlike tapes or CDs, which cannot be replaced once purchased, on Feiyan MP3, if you don't like the songs you downloaded, you can delete them at any time," Li Dongling operated the machine and demonstrated to the audience, "and then download a new song on the computer!"

“What Feiyan MP3 wants to do is to let users realize music freedom!”

Then, the Feiyan MP3 machine configuration list appeared on the screen, which was a feature of Dongling Hi-Tech's product launch conference.

Including the decoding chip, screen, memory, battery, management system, etc. used are displayed to the user.

Cutting leeks is cutting leeks, but Dongling Hi-Tech never cheats or deceives people. At least it makes sure that people who buy the machine know what they are buying. It makes the leeks not feel like leeks anymore. This is the highest level of cutting leeks.

……

Just like in Pingyang, there were bursts of exclamations in a theater in New York at this moment. The Feiyan MP3 American launch conference was held here.

Needless to say, Tang Jun is a fluent talker. When he took out the Feiyan MP3 and demonstrated its operation, the reaction of the people at the press conference was no less than that of Pingyang, and even greater.

The entertainment industry in America is more developed. After seeing the performance of Feiyan MP3, the people present knew that the market for MP3 would probably surpass that of Walkman!
"Users who purchase Feiyan MP3 players can choose to download songs on the Himalaya music platform, with each song costing only $0.99 and each album costing only $9.99!

in addition……"

Tang Jun said meaningfully to the people present, "In the future, Feiyan MP3 will seek to cooperate with more Internet music platforms to allow more users to download their favorite songs!"

When these words were spoken, everyone at the press conference was still unable to react and wonder what they meant.

But a person sitting in the corner of the press conference looked at Tang Jun on the stage with surprise and suspicion.

Sean Fanning looked at the Feiyan MP3 player on the stage and always felt that something was wrong.

Feiyan Technology, the parent company of Himalaya Radio, suddenly announced the release of a new product. As its rival, Sean Fanning must have come in person to check out the enemy's situation.

But the emergence of Feiyan MP3 is indeed amazing, even as an opponent, Fan Ning has to admit this.

But Fanning, at this moment, felt something was strange, especially since the latest version of Napster, which was about to be released, was optimized for MP3 song downloads, which was the requirement of Pacific Rim Venture Capital!

All this seemed too coincidental, and Fanning had to think deeply. But at this point, he had been deified, and Napster had become the mortal enemy of the American record industry. There was no way out!

"go!"

Fanning whispered to Parker beside him.

"The press conference isn't over yet, there will be a trial listening session later. Don't you think this product is cool? I want to get one now!"

"This machine, combined with our Napster, can turn the entire record industry upside down!"

The more he talked, the more excited Parker became. For Parker, who is rebellious by nature, he dared to be a hacker when he was in elementary school and let the FBI surround his house. Now he has the opportunity to overthrow the record giant, which makes him even more excited.

But Parker didn't see that the more he talked, the darker Fanning's face became. It was as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn't want to pay any more attention to Parker and just walked away.

Parker didn't know what was wrong with Fanning. Ever since Fanning appeared on the cover of Time magazine and stepped into the spotlight, her temper had been getting worse and worse.

After taking a reluctant look at the Feiyan MP3, Parker decided that he must buy one when it goes on sale!
……

"Feiyan Technology's new product is an MP3 player!"

"Feiyan MP3 claims to be the next generation music player after Sony's Walkman!"

"It doesn't require tapes or CDs, you can download songs directly to your computer!"

The digital section of Tianya Forum also reported today's MP3 launch conference via live text broadcast.

"Really or not, so powerful?"

"Brother who is not here, can you tell me what this machine is?"

In the electronics section of Tianya Forum, discussions about Feiyan MP3 quickly arose, and then the heat grew.
