Chapter 827 "Please watch the VCR"
This thing came at the wrong time, and it can be said that it was just the right time. It came a little late, but it was not completely late. In short, it was a tangle.
Take it out now. There is no way to explain the origin. Even if the system will provide a sample, he cannot explain the origin of the sample. If you are the head of the third factory, you have a lot of senior technicians under you. and mechanics, but there has to be a “making” process, right?
The casing, movement, media, circuits... these things all have to be made by people.
Suddenly something came out of nothing, that couldn't be justified in any case. After all, what he wanted to come up with was a physical product, not a theoretical deduction.
You can say that you have a good mind when it comes to theoretical derivation, but physical products must go through a trial production process.
After thinking for a long time, Gao Zhendong made up his mind. Since he was going to hold an exhibition this time, he should try to make it as big as possible to "surprise the friendly countries" more thoroughly. This opportunity can't be missed. This thing and a color TV are a perfect match.
Although what he will do next is a bit outrageous, his current position and identity, as well as people's trust in him, can already support him to go crazy like this.
Gao Zhendong spread out his pen and paper and started writing something.
His actions did not attract people's attention. It is normal for a person like him to take out a pen and paper to write anything at any time. Even when he was writing, there were people beside him who were very careful to protect him. First, they couldn't disturb him, and second, they couldn't let anyone see what he was writing. God knows what his current inspiration is about. What if it is something that others cannot see? For Gao Zhendong, this possibility is very high.
After a while, Gao Zhendong picked up what he had written (copied) and walked to the leadership position of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce. For such an important matter, as the leading department and the protagonist of the exhibition, he was also in charge here.
"Leader, I have a new idea here. I want to add it to the exhibition now. Take a look." Gao Zhendong handed him the paper in his hand.
The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce took the paper very solemnly. For him, any suggestions from Gao Zhendong were worthy of attention.
"VCR? Start delivery in six months?"
This is what makes Chinese so good. Even though this thing is a completely new product that has never appeared before, it has the foundation of "cassette tape recorder", which is just a few square characters. The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce still understood Gao Zhendong very clearly. What exactly is it that needs to be taken out?
A device similar to a cassette tape, but recording video content.
This is the fresh antique thing that Gao Zhendong bought in the system store. In the store, it was a DVD video player. I don’t know which store owner was crazy and sold retro-style products. Of course, there is also a Maybe, that is because this store started selling HiFi equipment, and DVD players are still quite popular in the HIFI circle.
As he expected, when he extracted the DVD into his storage, it turned into a cassette tape recorder that seemed a bit large to Gao Zhendong. However, Gao Zhendong's "hugeness" might appear to others to be huge. It feels very small.
Cassette tape systems, color TV systems, and integrated circuits are all available. Gao Zhendong is not surprised at all to come up with this thing. The 10-micron PMOS meets the demand for integrated circuit technology for the video cassette recorder launched in 1971, which is completely beyond the specifications.
This is what you want! Gao Zhendong has wanted this thing for a long time, but he has never found a product with "cheap media video playback" as its core function. Video playback, a once-all-powerful function, has long been a must-have function in Gao Zhendong's previous life. Integrated into various electronic devices, electronic devices with video playback as the core selling point are not so easy to find.
Now, Gao Zhendong can reap another harvest.
Gao Zhendong watched variety shows in his previous life. Many variety shows had a very famous transition line - "Please watch the VCR." This VCR actually refers to the Video-Cassette-Recorder, a cassette tape recorder.
In fact, there were tape recorders at this time, such as the 2-inch tape recorder launched by Ampex in 1956, but that thing was not for individuals, and the price was as high as 50,000 Citi coins, 50,000 Citi coins before the Bretton Woods system collapsed!
The one really aimed at personal home use was launched by Sonny Company in 1964. As for the mature video cassette recorder, it was not launched by Sonny Company until 1971.
Gao Zhendong decided to take Sonny's path, leaving Sonny with no way to go.
Even the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce who had heard about it for the first time could imagine the prospect of this thing. The foreigners visiting the exhibition were even excited about the cassette tape recorder. A color TV can be snatched up and played quickly, and this, I'm afraid it will be even more sensational.
Especially those who have color TVs, they will definitely be excited.
Leaving aside trade between countries, even the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce can guess the mentality and actions of these people present.
——"People who are willing to spend one thousand Citi dollars to buy a color TV don't care about spending another thousand."
Although Gao Zhendong's materials only describe the general shape, performance, functions, and price of the video cassette recorder, there is not even a physical product.
Gao Zhendong also made it very clear that this thing does not exist yet. He has only completed the theoretical design and has not yet started manufacturing prototypes.
"Zhendong, it's so appropriate for you to bring this out." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce laughed.
"After the cassette tape recorder and color TV were built, I always felt that something was missing. Since tapes can record sounds, they can also record images. This can also be regarded as enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the masses. But I am just doing this as an amateur, and the progress is not fast. , So far we have only completed the design and have not entered the prototype trial production stage. If we had not seen the good results at this exhibition, we would not have thought of launching it now, which would be a bit premature." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.
The comrades next to him, especially those from the 12th Machinery Department, couldn't hold back their anger after hearing Gao Zhendong's words. Chief Engineer Gao is good at everything, but his words are too hurtful, but he doesn't feel it at all, and you can't. Said he was wrong. Listen, people say no to "doing it as an amateur" and "not making fast progress"! ! !
"No premature birth, no premature birth, the time is just right! Hahaha. It is also a good thing to leave some suspense and add some thoughts to the guests." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce was very happy. Not to mention, although his perspective on the problem was strange, but There is quite a bit of truth to it.
He didn't even ask Gao Zhendong to confirm whether he was sure. Just kidding, when did Comrade Gao Zhendong let go of empty cannons? He said it can be produced within half a year, so it can be produced absolutely, only in advance, not later.
When it comes to Gao Zhendong's credibility, it can be said to be extremely high among these ministries, especially in terms of technology.
He began to call the staff: "Comrades, please work harder to translate the results newly presented by Comrade Gao Zhendong, add some pictures and so on, print them out as quickly as possible, and put them at the exhibition."
The comrades of the 12th Machinery Department were also overjoyed. There was something new: "I will immediately ask people to clean up the booth and make some space to prepare to put this."
On their booth, apart from the samples on the display cabinets, many things had been robbed, leaving a lot of space free.
Our people here are scrambling against time, and the guests over there are also scrambling for every opportunity.
There are still good things at the booth of the 12th Machinery Department.
For example, electronic watches are also popular items. Although you are given one when you enter the door, it is only one piece. Who doesn’t have parents, wives, children, relatives and friends?
This thing is cheap, but regardless of its gimmick or practicality, it is an extremely super model in this era. If you buy it back and give it as a gift, it will be great, and you will go crazy.
"Comrade, you must sell me another piece. Two pieces is not enough for me anyway."

For personal purchases, the quantity is limited, otherwise these foreign friends who come to visit may not mind doing a flip business. Let alone selling at cost price, even if they are sold at a normal premium, they can definitely raise the price for many products here if they return them. Making a lot of money, practicality + gimmick + scarcity, it’s scary to think about it.
Therefore, the purchase limit is one for large items and two for small items.
"Dear guests, there are regulations, and we cannot break the regulations." The serial number of which ticket has been purchased, and how much has been purchased, are clearly shown on the computer. This cannot be faked.
"Comrade, I have a wife and two children. Plus me, a total of three watches is not enough anyway. You have to know that my children are twins." The reason of this foreign comrade is very strong , we all know that when giving gifts to twins, even the flaws must be exactly the same.
"Then you can go to the Friendship Store and have a look. There must be some there." With the price of the electronic watch, buying it at the regular price is not a problem for them. For the staff, this is like a turtle flying in the sky - there are regulations from above (turtle butt), and when it comes to foreign affairs work, there is no joke.
The really crowded place was not the electronic watch, but a booth next to it.
On this booth, bursts of electronically synthesized sounds like "biu~biu~biu~" never stopped.
That's right, this is the booth for 2-in-1 handheld consoles. People grabbed a dozen prototypes and had a great time playing with them.
Who the hell isn’t a child anymore?
Although the above are just two small games with extremely simple rules, for people at this time, it is not too much to say that this thing is shocking.
It's simple, playable, portable, and novel. Men can't walk after seeing it, but women... are better.
"Okay, okay, it's my turn to play."
"Davari, five minutes, your five minutes are up!"
"..."
Most of them have purchased it, but as a gift to take home, most of them are not willing to open it now, so what should they do? Just rub it.
These people who are on business trips are very satisfied with this exhibition. At least when they return home, their children will be happy for a long time, and they will become the most dazzling and happy ones among the children around them.
People from the "Gaul Chamber of Commerce" stood in a booth and murmured to themselves.
"Oh my God, the agency scope was raised too early. No, we need to increase it. We need to increase the agency scope!"
