"I'll be there in an hour, and I'll treat you to the best hot pot in Jiangzhou."
Chen Xiao played live at home and waited for Wang Xiang.
The 11181 website can still bring a certain amount of influence to Chen Xiao every day, but it is still too far behind the research and development of the main board. When it is the most, it has 0.5 points every day, and when it is less, it is only about 0.001.
This shows that the system has its own set of calculation models, and it also proves that influence is too difficult to earn!
The glass of Chen Xiao's house is not soundproof, and Wang Xiang heard it when he honked the horn from below.
Today, Wang Xiang is still the old Yanjing Jeep 212 of the electronics factory, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at the car a few more times.
An hour later, the two arrived in Jiangzhou.
Wang Xiang showed Chen Xiao the prototype of the VCD.
VCD is indeed very thin and light, about the size of two CD players.
Looking at the appearance, the VCD is indeed very exquisite, in line with the more popular aesthetics, and it is much better than the previous big bumps.
Wang Xiang plugged the cable of the VCD into the TV, and took out a VCD of Jackie Chan's "Thunderbolt" movie and put it in.
Power on, play.
The picture on the TV is stable.
Wang Xiang took out the remote control again and tried functions such as fast forward, rewind, pause, and violent fast forward. The VCD played steadily, and there were no freezes or crashes.
Compared with the old-fashioned VCD, the technology is very mature!
Wang Xiang said: "This is some improvement based on the motherboard diagram you gave last time, so that we can get a thin and light VCD. We also took a lot of effort to get the miniature magnetic heads inside."
Wang Xiang said excitedly: "How? The competition in the VCD market is very cruel now, but the profits are also very high. As long as we can fight our way out, we will be able to occupy the market!"
VCD was invented by Xia Guo people, and Xia Guo also has the world's first VCD brand - Wanyan.
Because she was the first person to eat crabs, Wan Yan also made the VCD industry from a few million to more than one billion RMB.
Wan Yan followed the path of producing hardware, advertising, acquiring film and music copyrights, and selling VCD discs.
This approach was also used by many Internet companies before Chen Xiao's rebirth, but it became a model of video sites buying copyrights and selling members.
However, because Wanyan did not think about applying for a patent when developing VCD, there was no patent for VCD. In the 1990s when the legal system was not perfect, various VCD companies flocked to it. A motherboard decoder and a plastic box are a VCD.
Later, the price of VCD dropped from 4,000 to 5,000 to a little over 1,000, and the price of some counterfeit products was only 8,900 or even 4,500, making it impossible for big manufacturers to make a profit.
In this way, under the pressure of introversion and new technologies, VCD died completely around 2000.
Wang Xiang still hopes that his products can be recognized by himself.
Chen Xiao did not comment directly, but said: "Now DVDs have begun to be popular in the market, and home computers are also increasing. Now we still make VCDs. Will the technology be too backward? Will doing this now"
Wang Xiang thought about this question, and said: "Although the picture quality of DVD is clearer than that of VCD, and the disc storage is also large, the price is very expensive."
After graduating from a famous school, Wang Xiang has worked as a technical director in an electronics factory for so many years, and he still has his own grasp of the market. "DVD decoding, motherboard and other technical patents are all abroad. Even if we master it, we cannot casually produce it."
"If you want to produce a DVD, you will have to pay expensive patent fees. After all the miscellaneous calculations, the company has almost no profit. At the same time, the price of DVDs is at least 1,500 yuan, and the better ones are about two to three thousand. This is not something that ordinary people can afford. started."
"We produce VCDs with the gimmick of thinness and lightness. The appearance should be better and lighter than DVDs, but our consumers are the vast third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas."
"The income of people in these areas is not high. DVDs worth around 2,000 yuan cannot be afforded, and VCDs worth a little more than a few hundred thousand yuan are their necessities."
The truth is this, but it is not DVD at all that kills VCD, but inner volume and newer computer storage technology.
Chen Xiao said: "I don't agree with the production of this thing. In the future, the price of computers and other electronic products will be cheaper. Consumers, whether in rural or urban areas, will have higher and higher requirements for image quality. Those who have eaten japonica rice will not Don¡¯t eat rice bran anymore. Brother Xiang, I can say without hesitation that VCD is a backward technology.¡±
Intellectuals have their own arrogance. Wang Xiang thinks he has been in the industry for so many years, and although Chen Xiao is talented in integrated circuits,But I don't know much about the market.
Wang Xiang's face is not very happy.
Chen Xiao: "My suggestion is that it is best for DeLonghi to transfer out of the foundry VCD and DVD as soon as possible. It is better than this for making CNC machine tool motherboards. If there is a chance, we will cooperate with Lianxiang and ASUS, try to introduce production lines, and make It is a good way to accumulate technology in the foundry of computer motherboards.¡±
In 2000, the semiconductor industry in the Wanwan area had already taken off. If some production capacity can be transferred at this time, it will be of great benefit to the semiconductor development in the Xiaguo mainland area in the future.
At this time, the boss Li Delong and other senior executives from Delong Electronics Factory also came.
Li Delong asked: "Brother Chen, can you see if there is any technical problem with our VCD?"
Chen Xiao told the truth: "No problem, the technology of the VCD main board is very mature at present, and this time the main board is folded to make a thin and light VCD, which is also very ingenious."
Li Delong laughed and said: "Okay! With your words, I feel relieved! We have applied for the trademark of Delong VCD. After the Spring Festival, the factory will start producing VCDs at full capacity. Our annual sales are expected to reach 1 million units. above!"
The data mentioned by Li Delong is not random, but combined with the current market. In the eyes of Delong executives, many rural areas still have the potential to buy VCDs.
Looking at Li Delong, Wang Xiang and others who were full of ambition, Chen Xiao chose to shut up.
After all, not everyone is reborn, and there is no God's perspective. Some things have to be experienced by themselves before they know what is right or wrong.
"Walk, walk, walk! Eat hot pot! Eat hot pot!"
The small goal Li Delong set for himself is to become a national VCD leader in the next three years, and follow the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside.
Chen Xiao felt that this goal was quite easy to achieve, because during the period from 2000 to 2001, various VCD manufacturers were caught by the plague, causing heavy casualties, and there was not one left.
Three years later, Delong can become a boss as long as he sells dozens of VCDs.
After dinner, Wang Xiang drove home from Xiao Chen.
In the car, Chen Xiao could only say: "Brother Xiang, I know you won't listen to my advice now, but please be careful, VCD is really a trap.?
