Sitting in the conference room were Yang Ye, Qiu Bojun, Duan Yongping, several experts hired by the company, as well as the current Shenzhen Mayor Li and several officials.
Jinshan Company is very famous in Shenzhen today. The game consoles they produce are sold at home and abroad and are extremely popular.
Not only does it provide Shenzhen with a large amount of tax revenue and solve a large number of employment problems, it is also one of Shenzhen’s business cards to the outside world.
So the city government attaches great importance to Jinshan Company. When I heard that Jinshan Company had invented a new technological product, I came to visit with great interest.
A somewhat handsome young man put a disc into the projector.
After a few operations, scenes from the movie "Once Upon a Time" appeared on the TV.
Following the majestic theme song, "Arrogance faces thousands of waves, blood is like the red sun..."
The young man immediately retreated, Yang Ye Qing glanced at him one more time.
Rebus finally appeared.
Mayor Li looked at the clear picture on the TV and exclaimed: "It's amazing."
Mayor Li is very happy. Most of the technological products in recent decades were invented in Europe, America and Japan.
I have never heard of any awesome technological products invented by the Chinese.
Even though China's computer technology is relatively developed now, it is just following the path of Europe and the United States.
This VCD is the first time.
Zero breakthrough!
Duan Yongping introduced the principle of VCD to the mayor:
The C-CUBE digital compression chip invented by Chinese-American Sun Yansheng is the heart of VCD. This chip can convert TV signals into digital signals.
If the digital signal is compressed on a CD and made into a player, moving pictures can be played.
Before this, Sony invented the CD, but it only had sound, and VCD had an overwhelming advantage over CD.
There is no doubt that once this VCD is launched into the market, it will be a revolution in the field of computer multimedia and home appliances, and will create a very huge industry.
More importantly, it will promote the development of the software industry.
Qiu Bojun said proudly: "We have applied for an international patent to the International Patent Organization PCT, and the next step will be to Paris to participate in the International Radio and Television Exhibition.
Waiting for those international manufacturers to see our After the product is produced, we will invite them to jointly formulate international standards for VCD.”
It is impossible to go it alone without major international manufacturers.
Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for them to unite and come up with their own set of standards, which would cause confusion, incompatibility and many other problems among products on the market.
In the original time and space, although Wanyan produced the world's first VCD, the international standard was jointly formulated by the four major home appliance companies: Philips, Sony, Panasonic, and JVC.
Wan Yan originally wanted to produce encrypted optical discs that could only be read on her own machine, but the four major companies jointly opposed it.
From a consumer perspective, this objection makes sense.
If there are no international standards, the machines produced by each manufacturer can only read their own disks, which will cause great trouble to consumers.
For example, if I buy a certain CD, but it can only be read on a certain CD player, isn't this going to make people mad?
What’s even more ridiculous is that due to the copyright issue of the movie, a certain company may not have the copyright to the movie. So if I want to watch the movie, do I have to buy another CD player?
Just like those video websites in later generations, each one has a different film library. If you want to watch a lot of videos, you have to sign up for several memberships. What is this?
Of course, unifying international standards and not producing encrypted discs is also risky, that is... it will cause serious piracy problems.
Wan Yan’s VCD was still late. While he was doing it, others were also doing it. The products of JVC, a major Japanese manufacturer, came out only about half a year later than him.
VCD is a brand new product, and it takes a process for the public to recognize it and understand what it is.
In order to let the common people know what VCD is, Wan Yan spent a lot of money and did a lot of promotion, which took more than a year.
Using this period of time, the four major international companies have launched their own VCD products, and South Korea's Samsung also took the opportunity to enter.
Wan Yan is making wedding dresses for others. In 1995, 6 million VCDs were sold in the Chinese market.
The market share of major foreign manufacturers reaches 94%, and eight of the top ten VCD brands are from abroad.
However, in 1996, hundreds of domestic manufacturers followed up. After a chaotic battle, they quickly overtook the market and took back the market.
In this bloody "War of One Hundred Factories", Wan Yan had nothing to do with him.
Wanyan's market share is only a pitiful 0.1%, with a total of 20,000 units sold. After working for several years, it was all in vain.
Yangye launched VCD two years earlier than JVC, a major Japanese company. JVC's VCD project might not even have been approved.
Yang Ye made a time lag. He wanted to seize the market as quickly as possible before the four major international companies could react.
When Wan Yan was promoting VCDs, a fatal problem was that he did not have audio and video copyrights. Although he produced VCDs, he had no disks to sell.
At that time, no one on the market could produce CDs, so people’s first reaction when they saw VCDs was...where to buy CDs?
One year after the launch of Wanyan VCD, there were only more than fifty kinds of karaoke discs on the market and not a single movie disc.
When Wan Yan spent a long time to purchase the copyrights of eleven audio-visual companies in Guangzhou and began to produce various CDs, the day lily was already cold.
Copyright is what Yang Ye lacks the most. At the same time as VCD is launched, a large number of karaoke, movies, TV series, and game disks will be launched one after another, filling the entire market.
……
In the following meeting, Yang Ye first elaborated on the prospects of VCD.
“Nowadays, the VHS video recorder invented by Japan’s JVC Company is commonly used in Europe and the United States. This product has slightly worse image quality than our VCD, but the difference is not big.
However, the video recorder is widely used in Europe and the United States. It is very popular in developed countries such as Japan and Japan, and their motivation to replace VCD should not be strong.
So our main market is in Asia, especially China. This is a gap market for video recorders, and our VCD happens to be the market. Fill in! "
"The main problem now is that the majority of users don't know what VCD is, so a lot of time and money are spent on promotion
But our time is very tight, because major overseas manufacturers have also noticed this C-CUBE technology and are developing this product.
We must take a preemptive strike and quickly occupy the market before the products of major overseas manufacturers are launched, catching them off guard..."
Faced with an epoch-making technological product, Mayor Li made a promise on the spot We will try our best to provide policy support.
For example, we will provide tax incentives within two years to help companies capture the market as soon as possible.
This is the most important thing, the cost of VCD production. It's not low. The material price of each unit is more than 2,000 yuan. Wanyan's price doubled at that time, and the price was more than 5,000 yuan.
At this price, the profit margin is not very high, but consumers think this thing is too expensive. After buying it, they don’t have any discs to put in it, and would rather buy a mature video recorder.
With the government's tax reduction policy, Yang Ye's VCD can be sold at a lower price. After discussion, Jinshan VCD was priced at 3,998 yuan.
After other companies follow suit, Kingsoft VCD has achieved scale and the cost has been reduced, so the price can be further reduced.
After two or three years, the cost will at least double, and it won’t matter without tax support.
And VCD is just a transitional product. In 1999, the price dropped to about 1,000 yuan per unit.
It still can’t be sold because DVDs are becoming more popular. After Yang Ye discussed with Jinshan Company, they began to divide their forces into three groups.
Duan Yongping led a team to the International Radio and Television Exhibition in Paris to make VCD debut in front of the world, and then work with the four major international companies to formulate international standards.
Qiu Bojun is responsible for sales channels in China and Southeast Asia, and formulates sales plans.
Due to the popularity of the Palm Elf, Qiu Bojun has accumulated certain resources.
Yang Ye personally served as the spokesperson, shot advertisements and was responsible for promotion.
Before the end of the year, all major TV and newspaper media across the country will carry out comprehensive publicity. This year, the advertising standard king of CCTV is none other than Jinshan VCD.
......
After agreeing to make a deposit on Jinshan VCD, Yang Ye stayed in Shenzhen for another week.
After spending two days with Yang Xi in Guangzhou, Yang Ye left Yang Xi in the hotel on the pretext of being busy with work and gave her a set of "Jin Yong's Heroes" that was still being tested to pass the time. .
Then, Yang Ye went to accompany his women.
Both He Qing and Fu Yiwei have been pregnant for several months and are about to give birth.
Yang Ye must visit, take care of, and show concern.
It's a pity that the queen's belly didn't move at all. It may be because she is too old and it is not easy to get pregnant. After all, she is 40 years old.
It seems that after returning to Hong Kong, I will do more exercise with her.
In a room, Yang Ye, two pregnant women, He Qing and Fu Yiwei, were sitting at a table playing cards.
Whoever wins the bet, Yang Ye will sleep with him tonight. If Yang Ye wins, he will sleep by himself.
While dealing the cards, Yang Ye said: "This game is called Landlord Fighting. Each person is dealt 17 cards, leaving three hole cards. The dealer calls the cards first and decides whether to be the landlord. The landlord can take three more cards. The remaining two people are farmers, and the farmers can unite to deal with the landlords. If one person plays out the cards first, he will win..."
The popular "landlord fight" has not been invented yet. So Yang Ye must tell them the rules first.
He Qing and Fu Yiwei have never played this before. After playing a few times, they found it more and more interesting.
"Call the landlord!"
"Robbing the landlord!"
"Don't rob!"
"I'll rob!"
Yang Ye robbed the landlord, But it's a bad hand, and it's hard for gods to save him.
"I'll blow up!"
"I'll blow up too!"
Yang Ye said with a sad face: "I'm sorry!"
"A 4, we win, haha ! ”
“Awesome, both wives are gambling queens”
He Qing tilted her head and said with a smile: "Aren't you a god of gambling? Why do you always lose?"
"Because I don't want to sleep by myself!"
"Hahaha!"
He Qing and Fu Yiwei had slept with Yang Ye a long time ago, and they had no shame. The three of them had a great time.
When he was in the United States, He Qing witnessed the listing of United Artists Pictures and Yang Ye's daughter Yang Xi becoming a billionaire, so she made up her mind to give Yang Ye a son.
Although Fu Yiwei did not go to the United States, he had the same thought. In her opinion, giving Yang Ye a son was a hundred times better than marrying an ordinary person.
The three of them played for a while longer. The more the two women played, the more fun they became in playing Landlords. It was much more interesting than the poker games they had played before.
Fu Yiwei couldn't help but asked: "Husband, how did you come up with this Landlords? It's so interesting!"
Yang Ye said: "I went to Wuhan the year before last and saw the local people there. People play a game called running fast with playing cards. It’s quite interesting, but it’s only played by four people. There are only three of us, so I improved it and it became like this.”
He Qing felt Yang. Ye was so awesome. He made such an interesting poker play with just a few changes. He couldn't help but admire: "Husband, you are such a genius!"
Yang Ye was very impressed. He leaned over and kissed her on the tender cheek. After the kiss, he felt that he couldn't treat her favorably, so he kissed Fu Yiwei again.
After playing for a while, Liu Xiaoqing came up with a box containing the dishes she brought from the hotel.
The four of them sat together to eat. Yang Ye ate something casually and stopped using his chopsticks.
Liu Xiaoqing asked strangely: "Eat so little?"
"I have to go back to have dinner with my daughter later, so I can't eat too much."
Liu Xiaoqing smiled and said: "You love your daughter so much!"
Yang Ye said matter-of-factly: "My own flesh and blood, if I don't love my own flesh and blood, who will?"
After that, he said to He Qinghe Fu Yiwei said: "I am not a person who treats one favorably. Xiaoqing, Xiaoyi, if you give birth to a child for me, I will not treat anyone badly."
After hearing this, the two women were very relieved, so okay Isn't this what you wanted to follow Yang Ye without any recognition and even give birth to a child for him?
After Yang Ye finished eating with the big-bellied woman, he stood up and said, "I'm going to leave now. I'll come back later!"
Liu Xiaoqing said, "I'll go with you!"
Yang Ye nodded: "That's fine!"
The two went out, got in a car, and headed to the hotel where Yang Xi lived. Drive away.
Liu Xiaoqing and Yang Ye were sitting together and suddenly said: "That Liu Xiaoli is getting divorced recently. When I called her, she complained to me."
Yang Ye was stunned. After a moment, he held her hand and said calmly: "Xiaoqing, you have worked hard these past few years."
Liu Xiaoqing is a genius at making connections, and with Yang Ye's financial support, although she does not know how to produce TV series, she has attracted a group of domestic acting talents, and several of her works have been very popular.
Yang Ye is very satisfied with her work, and even more satisfied with her being so considerate in pimping him!
Liu Xiaoqing saw that Yang Ye did not pick up Liu Xiaoli's topic, but spoke words of gratitude to her softly, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said: "Only with the stage you provide me can I show off my talents. "How long?"
Yang Ye smiled lightly and said, "I'll give you a reward. Just say whatever you want."
Liu Xiaoqing tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked. : "Can anything be done?"
"As long as I can do it, if I can't do it, there's nothing I can do."
"I... also want to have a baby with you!" (End of Chapter)
