Chapter 1330 Riding a Fire Truck
When Zhou Zhi invited Matsui Zojin Chunyi to drink and eat barbecue, he put his body very low and put himself in a position of asking for help from others, hoping to get "advanced countries" "Gao took a look and rewarded several cooperation plans.
At least in the atmosphere at that time, Matsui Zuo and Kim Chunyi understood it this way.
It turned out that Zhou Zhi was "dishonest" at all. While he was openly building the plank road, he was secretly building a warehouse. Here he was still begging for help, but over there he had already developed a chip and even a digital walkman.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Matsui asked: "Zhou Sang, if there are manufacturers in our country that are willing to carry out chip research and development with Clover on favorable terms and advanced technology, I wonder if Zhou Sang is interested?"
"Interested, Of course I'm interested." Zhou Zhi said, "What manufacturer is it?"
Matsui Manufacturing Hearing this, he was delighted: "Sony and Panasonic now have this intention. They also said that even if the joint design plan still needs to be discussed for the time being, they also hope to underwrite Huahong Group's audio decoding chips."
"Our country's LG Group also has such a wish." Jin Chunyi quickly followed.
Zhou Zhi secretly sneered in his heart. These are the common tricks used by large groups to kill their competitors. As long as they spend a sum of money to kill Huaneng's production capacity for a year, not even a few months, several groups may launch their own chips and even players, and then swept Huaneng’s chips into the dust.
But it is no longer possible, because Clover and Huaneng not only launched chips, but also developed players. They also integrated Radio Factory 16 and Factory 18 and invested in the establishment of Hong'an Digital. Everything is ready and worry-free. There is no way out.
However, Zhou Zhi's attitude is as good as before: "I can no longer make the decision on this. In the equity sharing agreement between Clover and Huahong, Clover is not the main body; Hong'an, which produces players, The same goes for our investment ratio in digital. "
"So in the chip and player business, Clover and AXA actually have no say. You have to go to Hua for this matter. Hu Changfeng, Chairman of Hong Group.”
"He is the former Minister of Electronic Industry of our country. In front of Hua Hong, our Clover is just a little brother participating in the audit."
"Ah, by the way, although the player The brand is called Lucky Clover, but its essence has little to do with our Clover. It is a brand of Hong'an Digital Group, a joint venture between AXA and Huahong. Clover only takes the share of intellectual property licensing. "
"The agency sales rights of the Clover player will be handed over to Heheng Group, which has a deep relationship with AXA Fund."
"This is the situation. I have told you all this honestly. The details You can tell Sony, Panasonic, and LG what to do, and we can discuss it slowly."
"If there is anything you need to cooperate with me, For example, I will definitely cooperate with you if you want to help contact Mr. Hu.”
After saying that, he picked up his schoolbag and said, “I really have to leave. That’s it for today.”
Look. Watching Zhou Zhi leave in a hurry, Matsui Zuo and Jin Chunyi could only look at each other helplessly, taking each step slowly and step by step. The other party seemed to have anticipated the situation they would face next, and had prepared preparations for all subsequent moves. .
"Matsui-kun, what should we do now?" Jin Chunyi asked.
"We have to contact the country first. The country's imagination of Hua Hong and Clover is too simple. What about your side?"
Jin Chunyi's face was full of a wry smile. The situation here is more complicated.
MP3 audio compression technology is a technology that Samsung has been following closely. In later generations, it was officially invented in 1995 by a general manager named MOON.
However, the finished product was released in 1995, and there is actually a plan for this year.
It's just that Samsung in another time and space was busy with organizational adjustments and had no time to consider the music player proposal. The player project was shelved. Then faced with the Asian financial crisis, General Manager Moon was laid off from Samsung and re-employed at Sehan Company until September. It took Sehan eight years to launch the first MP3 player on the market, called "MPmen". However, because this MP3 is not cheap and is positioned for downloading paid music, and Sehan Company has no funds for promotion, it has not become popular.
It wasn’t until the end of 1998, when the American company Dimensional launched the Rio300 Walkman, that the world knew there was such a thing as an MP3 player.
Because the biggest feature of Rio300 is that it can download free music, even though the price is as high as two hundred US dollars, it still sold more than 50,000 units within three weeks of its launch.
Next, the free download function caused dissatisfaction in the American record industry. Leading to lengthy litigation between the Recording Industry Association of America and allied companies.
As a result, MP3 players became famous.
Now Samsung has caught Clover and Huahong off guard. Not to mention that the early creativity and investment were in vain, but LG took the lead in finding Jin Chunyi at such a sensitive time and asked him to test it out. Clover's cooperative attitude towards chip development is a bit of a quarrel, and the situation is even more complicated than that of the island country.
Jin Chunyi was already thinking about quitting. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I will also report it to the country first and let them find a way. It is best to contact Director Hu directly."
"Actually, are they overreacting? ?” Matsui Zuo was a little confused: “I don’t know what the market response will be. Maybe it will be a failed product?”
“Yes, the first batch of products will be released on Hong Kong Island. It depends on the market reaction.”
"Then... just wait and see?"
Matsui Zuo did not intend to wait, and was ready to tell the country the latest situation he had learned as soon as possible, but he said to Jin Chunyi: "Then Just wait. "
While the two were fighting, Zhou Zhi had already run to Taohua Village, got on his Guard and drove towards the city center.
"Brother Elbow, why are you here so late?!"
When Zhou Zhi arrived at the fire brigade, everyone was already ready to get in the car. Guan Tingting sat in the car excitedly, exploring He patted the car door with his arms: "We are ready to go!"
"Tingting?! Why are you here? What if you are discovered by a fan? You still took advantage of the tickets!" Zhou Zhi was shocked.
"I've already disguised myself. Didn't you see it just now?" Guan Tingting smiled and tugged on the silk scarf around her neck: "I'll pull the scarf up later."
< br> Only then did Zhou Zhi discover that Guan Tingting was wearing a camouflage soft hat, which Zhao Zhonggang probably found for her.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Zhonggang pushed Zhou Zhi into the car and stuffed him with a bag of braised vegetables: "I thought you wouldn't even come, we have all eaten."
< br>After saying that, he put on his helmet and hung it on the outside door of the car. He was next to Guan Tingting in the car and raised the walkie-talkie in his hand: "No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, let's go in order!"
The armed police soldier in charge of driving turned on the alarm, and the red and blue police lights on the roofs of several cars flashed. Everyone's ears were suddenly filled with the shrill sirens.
"Wow, so handsome!" Guan Tingting's eyes flashed with little stars.
