The Walkman was invented by Sony Corporation in Japan in 1979. In fact, tapes have been around for a long time, even as early as World War II, they began to use tapes as a medium for recording. Later, in the 1960s, cassette tapes were invented. Because they are easy to carry, they quickly became popular. Then came the boom of the tape recorder.

The Walkman was a by-product. Under the electronic technology at that time, tape recorders were all bulky. Sony, however, solved the problem of circuit miniaturization, making the volume of the tape player very small, which can be easily carried, and the most popular one is to hang it on the waist. Especially after hiring several international models to advertise, the Walkman became popular all over the world.

However, all this changed after the island country was occupied!

When the Red Army of the island country was put on the stage of history and began to rule the island country, it also meant the break between the island country and the United States. In order to sanction the island country, the United States led the entire Western world and began to increase tariffs on the products of the island country. , which led to high prices for goods exported from the island nation.

However, once these things become popular, they will always be welcomed by the general public, just like fruit fans of later generations can queue up all night to buy a Kidney 6, this kind of Walkman is also their favorite.

Electronic manufacturers in Western Europe and the United States also produced some similar products, but they were not as beautiful and stable as those in the island country. Therefore, even if the price of the Walkman in the island country was high, they were willing to pay more for it.

But now, Heinrich was stunned when he heard it. It turns out that the Walkman with tapes, the mainstream product on his side, is already outdated here! And because it is outdated, the price is extremely low, 80 marks! Only one-tenth of our own side!

How is the government promoting it? The economy here is backward, the people live in poverty, and they don't even have enough to eat! But how can the prices here be so cheap? If I dump some Walkmans from here to my own side, I'm sure I can make a lot of money!

However, it is not now. Heinrich continued to listen to the clerk's introduction to himself: The biggest disadvantage of the tape is that it is analog, and it cannot be located on a special song, and the sound quality is very poor. Therefore, we now use What is better is the CD, the sound quality is many times better than that of the tape, you can compare it.”

As he said that, the clerk took out a CD inside, pressed the switch, and handed the earphone to Heinrich. Heinrich tried to put it on his ear, and the famous Aerosmith song, Idon\\'twanttomissthing, came from inside.

Wearing headphones and closing your eyes, it is as if you are in a music scene. The sound quality is not only much better than tapes, but even better than records!

It turns out that the Walkman can also achieve such an effect! On our side, we are really far behind!

How much does this Walkman cost? I want it. Heinrich asked, this thing is a high-tech product, and the price may be very high. If it exceeds 300 marks, then he has no choice but to roll his watch Come down, temporarily mortgage here, holding this Walkman, it can be regarded as a surprise for the children!

240 marks. The other party said: This is a new model, and here is an old model, which only sells for 200 marks. The clerk's smile was extremely sweet.

I want this! Heinrich decided instantly, buy a good one for the child! I have enough money!

Of course, Heinrich didn't know that the CD player has only recently become popular in Eastern European countries, and this kind of CD was developed by Sony last year. It has formulated a complete set of technical standards and applied for a technical patent. If other If the company wants to produce the same product, it needs to pay Sony a patent fee.

And because this product is newly launched, the price is already high, and the high tariffs on export to the Western world make it impossible for this product to be exported to the Western world for the time being.

Sony just happened to be having a headache. As a result, today, people from West Germany patronized East Germany, and from this day on, this kind of Walkman also began to spread throughout the West. Western electronics companies later had to pay high patent fees to Sony, and Sony became the leader in the manufacture and sale of this Walkman.

Heinrich, was the first West German customer.

When Heinrich saw that the Walkman was wrapped up, issued an invoice, and paid, he found that he could not go out smoothly, and a lot of people surrounded him behind him!

The Walkman here is only 80 marks, which is too cheap. Buy one and take it home!

I want ten!

Tape walkmans are outdated, see? The guy who just walked away is holding a round walkman, that's cool! Let's buy that one, it's only two or three hundred marks, it's cheaper than the tape walkman over there Even cheaper!

It's incredible! When the skeptical West Germans entered East Germany through the open gate, they were shocked by everything here.

Just a Walkman is beyond their common sense, why is it so cheap?

If the Walkman is just a special case, then, when Heinrich continued to walk forward and saw a personal computer store, he was even more shocked!

personal computer! This is the 1980s, even in the western world, personal computers are high-end products!

Now, the personal computer that is popular throughout the western world is representatively IBM PC, the configuration is 4.77MHz 8088 CPU, 16KB memory, can also be expanded to 256KB, 1 or 2 5.25-inch floppy drives, and a color display, pricing At 1565 US dollars, it is equivalent to about 2500 marks.

And now? What was placed in front of Heinrich was a native East German, a personal computer assembled by the Berlin Radio Factory! This computer, on the introduction next to it, uses a 20MHZ CPU! 64KB of memory, 2 floppy drives, plus a color display. Moreover, in addition to the keyboard, there is a small mouse-like thing next to it, dragging a line!

20MHZ! Only the latest 80286 CPU produced by Intel Corporation of the United States can reach this speed! Since this CPU was only developed this year, it is only sold in the United States, with limited production and no distribution in Western Europe. However, the Soviet Union already has a similar product, the CPU code-named ES-1842s! (To be continued.)
