Capítulo 465: The era of future smartphones is coming
Time came to 2003.
In this parallel world, technology is advancing rapidly, and this year's digital products seem to be particularly prominent.
At the beginning of the year, at the International Consumer Electronics Show, Myron Case reappeared after many years out of the public eye.
He was once the CEO of RedFruit, a trendy personal computer manufacturing company he co-founded with several partners.
Then, for various reasons, he was ousted from his own company.
However, talented people will ultimately find ways to unleash their potential in various ways.
So, not long after, he founded a new company again and has been low-key for the past few years. This year, he finally launched what he considered a relatively heavyweight product.
This product is a product oriented towards fashionable entertainment, called "ibsp;art," simply translated as "Music Artist."
Myron Case prefers to call this product "art" because he believes it is not simply a music art but also a multimedia art.
This product is very compact and targets Suir Electronics' Walkman music player.
Under Myron Case's demanding manufacturing requirements, his "art" is extremely small. If described by Jukusei, this is an upgraded version of the iPod, which was very popular in the previous world.
This thing looks simple and is only about one-third the size of a palm. It comes in various colors, commonly known as candy colors. Equipped with a 2-inch screen, you can even watch movies on it if you want, although it might strain your eyes.
This is Myron Case's first fashionable digital product after years of silence, and it seems to be one of his future ambitions.
This product was just launched at the International Consumer Electronics Show and immediately received countless attention from the media.
They marveled at the compactness of this thing. According to Myron Case, despite its small size, if you have enough money to buy the large-capacity version, you can store over ten thousand songs in it.
The media's amazement was attributed to the advancement of flash memory technology. Myron Case seized the flash memory technology, taking advantage of Gamestar Entertainment's strong promotion of its disc advantage, to secure millions of flash memory orders at ultra-low prices. Then, he repackaged his music player, and that was it.
The cheapest version of this little thing costs only $99.
However, while these people marveled, Takayuki remained unusually calm.
This time's International Consumer Electronics Show didn't see as much involvement from him as before. He focused on continuing to develop his Monster Hunter, had no time to care about anything else, and didn't have any plans to release new electronic products. This gave Myron Case the limelight.
But he couldn't help but complain that although the technological development in this world has exceeded that of the previous decade, the application of entertainment digital products seems to be only slightly ahead of the previous world by two or three years.
This is also a rather strange direction of development.
But it could also be because for some reason, the development of fashionable digital entertainment products in this world has stagnated.
In the previous world, Jobs had already returned to Apple for several years and had started releasing brand-new computer products, as well as the new iPod and the leading iPhone.
But in this world, it seems like Jobs's Myron Case didn't have the opportunity to return to his RedFruit company.
Or perhaps he was thoroughly disappointed with RedFruit, so he started a new company from scratch.
To be honest, the absence of a figure like Jobs has indeed led to some butterfly effects, slowing down the development of digital entertainment in this aspect.
Sometimes, one person's influence must be acknowledged as truly powerful.
But it's not too late for this world. Myron Case also announced his plans for the future at the press conference.
Next, he will try to redevelop new PC computers and operating systems, aiming to compete with the Morgan Group's operating system.
However, Myron Case's current grandiose statements aren't believed by many, but they are indeed very interested in the "art" entertainment player he has now announced.
Shortly after the end of the International Consumer Electronics Show, information about the "art" player spread on the Internet. Many people hoped to get such a product and wanted to buy it as soon as possible.
Myron Case's plan seems to be working, at least initially, he has gained some attention.
As for now, the focus should be on speeding up the production of his product and quickly seizing the market.
And the most unhappy at this time should be Suir Electronics.
They were still competing with Gamestar Entertainment for the player market.
Suddenly, Myron Case popped out to snatch their originally very stable Walkman player market, which didn't make anyone happy.
They were fighting here, and their home base was being stolen away by others.
For this reason, Hayakawa Ushito had to reassign some people to the other side to save the entertainment player and see if they could come up with a similar product to deal with it. However, the focus was still on the battle with Gamestar Entertainment because Suir Electronics believed that Myron Case is not yet a threat.
But now Takayuki has begun to have some crisis awareness.
With Myron Case's rise, the era of smartphones may be coming soon.
No, he must accelerate.
Before, he still wanted to take it slow, first try to bankrupt several small flash memory manufacturers in Japan, then acquire them and firmly control the flash memory sector, so that he could produce as many cartridges as he wanted without any constraints.
And with the rising sales of Myron Case's "art" entertainment player, the flash memory market is estimated to quickly recover.
Then he had to seize the opportunity to quickly acquire those few small flash memory manufacturers.
Thinking of this, Takayuki immediately put aside the development of Monster Hunter.
The development of Monster Hunter is equally important, but preparing to acquire flash memory factories is also important.
For this reason, he even contacted Matsumura Minoru in the United States.
This kind of thing was probably more suitable for Matsumura Minoru to handle.
With her many years of hard work in the United States, she has become the most well-known manager in the gaming industry. She has done very well in company management and other company-related matters.
And leaving the task of quickly acquiring flash memory factories to her is more appropriate.
