People live in the courtyard, pledge themselves to the country

In fact, there are tape recorders in foreign countries at this time, but there is no such thing as Lin Xiao said, that is, the Walkman. In fact, it’s just that no one wants to get it. The process of making it is not complicated.

Xiao Dashan took Lin Xiao to Baolin Radio Factory in the suburbs, and Lin Xiao quickly made a Walkman.

"Tsk tsk, such a small thing can be used as a radio? Then our radio factory can be closed!"

The person who spoke was the deputy director of the radio factory. He had always been hostile to the director. When he saw the director bring someone here to make such a small thing, he couldn't help but sneer.

Lin Xiao ignored him, but turned around and asked, "Director Liu, do you have tapes here?"

Only then did Lin Xiao remember that it is not enough to have a Walkman, but also a tape!
"Tape? Are you talking about audiocassettes? Don't tell me you really have them. It is said that they were invented by a company called Philips a few years ago. I happen to have a cassette here!" After finishing speaking, Director Liu ordered his men to go to the office to get the tapes. went.

"But that thing needs professional equipment to play, can you do it?" Director Liu looked at the simple square box in Lin Xiao's hand with some doubts.

Lin Xiao smiled and did not speak. When Factory Manager Liu brought the tape, Lin Xiao took it and put it in the Walkman. When he pressed the switch, a burst of beautiful music was played from the Walkman.

Xiao Dashan, Director Liu and the people around were all frightened.

"How is it possible that such a simple square box can actually hold tapes?" Director Liu felt like he was going crazy.

Lin Xiao ignored Director Liu and asked instead: "Director Liu, is there any manufacturer in our country that can produce magnetic tape?"

Director Liu said subconsciously: "The technical content of the tape is not high, we can produce it, but we cannot produce the tape recorder that plays the tape."

He suddenly realized something, grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and asked excitedly: "This is a tape recorder? How can there be such a small tape recorder?"

Lin Xiao smiled without explaining, and handed the Walkman to Xiao Dashan: "Uncle Xiao, you can show this sample to the above, I believe that once this product is produced, it will bring a lot of foreign exchange to the country!" Maybe there will be unexpected surprises!"

Xiao Dashan took the Walkman with a dazed expression. Director Liu scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously. He wanted to grab it but didn't dare, so he could only beg Xiao Dashan.

"Hey, Director Xiao, for the sake of our cooperation with you, can you not hand it in? Leave it to us to study, three days, just three days!"

Xiao Dashan immediately stuffed the Walkman into his pocket when he heard the words: "Nonsense! This is a political mission, you can study it casually! Wait for the notice!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said to Director Liu: "Director Liu, I have a suggestion for you, you can prepare for the tape production in advance!"

Factory Manager Liu showed a pensive expression when he heard Lin Xiao's words.

Lin Xiao didn't know how Xiao Dashan was talking with the above, but Xiao Dashan didn't show his face for two full days, until the morning of the third day, when he successfully assembled the first tractor, when the students were cheering, Xiao Dashan hurriedly took him to the office.

"Lin Xiao, this is Director Li, and this is Section Chief Tang of the Outreach Department. They want to ask you something!"

Director Li is a serious, bald middle-aged man. He asked seriously: "Comrade Lin, on behalf of the country, I would like to thank you for your contribution. Now I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can answer them seriously!"

"Director Li, just ask!" Lin Xiao replied while sitting upright.

"How much did the square box recorder you developed cost?" Director Li asked.

"If it is produced in large quantities, the cost should not be too high, and it can be controlled within 50 yuan!" Lin Xiao replied after thinking about it.

Hearing this answer, Director Li's breathing became obviously heavy, and he continued to ask: "Is it highly technical? Will there be a need for skilled work?"

"I suggest that assembly line operation can be considered. This will not only reduce the cost, but also speed up the speed, and the requirements for workers are not high. As long as they are skilled, they can work!" Lin Xiao replied.

Director Li was obviously very satisfied with Lin Xiao's answer, he asked a few more questions, and then showed a blunt smile:
"Comrade Lin, thank you for your cooperation. What are your thoughts on the transfer of this technology?"

"I will transfer it to the country for free!" Lin Xiao is not short of money at all, so he has not considered the issue of the transfer fee: "However, I have a small suggestion, if the country wants to export this Walkman, it is best to apply for a patent first. Preferably a global patent!"

"Walkman?" Director Li said the name in a low voice, and said with a smile: "It's a good name, it's really appropriate, and you can listen to music with you! But why do you want to apply for a patent?"

Sure enough, the current Chinese people have no awareness of patents at all. Lin Xiao patiently explained the knowledge of patents, and then said: "If you don't apply for patents, other countries may apply for patents first. Not only will we not be able to If you continue to produce Walkmans, you may be accused of copyright infringement! At that time, you may face a large amount of compensation!"

Director Li said with a look of disdain: "This is obviously something we developed, how could it be snatched away by others, we are no longer the era of being bullied by others!"

Lin Xiao was a little speechless, but he had no good way to persuade the stubborn Director Li, so he could only say: "In this case, then I will apply for a patent personally, and the patent for the walkman will belong to me personally!"

"It's your thing, you should apply for a patent!" Director Li waved his hand indifferently.

"It's up to me!" Section Chief Tang of the External Relations Department couldn't wait to interject: "Comrade Lin, I would like to ask you, which countries do you think are more suitable for this Walkman to be released? And how do you plan to set the price?"

Lin Xiao thought about it for a while. In the previous life, when Sony launched the Walkman in 79, it first caused a huge sensation in the local area, and then in some surrounding countries, it swept the world and became the benchmark of the times!
At that time, the price of Sony’s first-generation Walkman in the United States was 199 yuan, which was equivalent to 1347 yuan in later generations. However, instead of scaring off those buyers, they were robbed instead. Lin Xiao thought what happened to the Walkman in his country It can't be cheaper than that of a small island country.

"I think it can be released to some surrounding countries like Miguo first. As for the price, I think the price of 200 yuan is very good!" Lin Xiao said confidently.
