1993 Glamour at a Glance

Chapter 250

Starting from VCD, Wan Yan was the first to take the lead, and it was almost the only one in the market in the first year.

However, starting from the second half of 94, Sanyou Electronics was aggressive. After that, it released Super VCD in 95, and won the title in 96.

Now, with the prestige of being officially listed, Wan Yan seems to be back.

Moreover, it also announced that it has developed a DVD decoding chip, showing its dominance.

"The high-end product is a DVD player." It seems that Wan Yan is in charge of the education market again. Zhu Shaohong talked eloquently in an interview on CCTV about "technological breakthroughs", "We are targeting Europe and the United States. Because of the price The reason is that VCD and super VCD will also have a huge market in Huaguo and some countries in Southeast Asia..."

The listing is imminent, and Wanyan's exposure rate is second to none.

So what about Biao Wang?Biaowang doesn't seem to be doing much.

Seeing the technical characteristics of DVD discs in the news, and listening to him talking about the negotiation with the eight major film companies in the United States, and because the DVD-RW format is very beneficial to prevent piracy, Li Ru knew that he should perform "can't sit still". Living.

Song Yang has been working on the mpeg2 standard since the very beginning, and it is impossible for Sanyou Electronics not to be working on DVDs.

However, Sanyou Electronics and Wan Yan are not on the same side. Hearing Zhu Shaohong talking about DVD-RW is more suitable for DVD players than DVD+RW, Li Ru should have something to say.

It's just that Wan Yan did not expect this dispute to be resolved first in China.

As soon as Song Yang and Duan Ping came back, Sanyou Electronics held a temporary board meeting "at the request of Li Ru".

People from Lianxiang Holdings will naturally also come to participate.

"Where is our DVD player?" Li Ru's expression was as bad as before, "I'm tired of playing VCD pirated discs. Why is it that I can't read the news right? I don't understand technology, but we What kind of disk did you use?"

"We have always cooperated with Sony and Philips. In this field, of course we use DVD+RW." Duan Ping glanced at the people of Lianxiang Holdings, "In addition to movies and TV series, DVD discs can also store other digital data. DVD +RW has better compatibility with computer optical drives, this will definitely be the mainstream in the future, we can’t choose the wrong path.”

Li Ru looked at Song Yang with a worried expression: "That is to say, I have to crack down on pirated DVD discs in the future? Or, I have to make two kinds of discs?"

Song Yang seemed very helpless: "Brother Li, didn't I tell you? I will accept the losses caused by pirated discs. You keep the accounts."

"Is this just a matter of pirated CDs?" Li Ru stared, "I have taken the domestic copyright, so I can't just provide CDs in one format, so that other machines can't read them? Double the cost, and even more uncontrollable output And inventory! Chips, you have patted my breasts with me, and now they come up with their own!"

"...Could it be possible for us to give up our direction now, tear up the cooperation with Sony and Philips, pay patent fees to them, and buy their chips?"

Li Ru stared at him without saying a word.

"DVD players are much more expensive, and they won't be a mainstream product for at least two or three years." Song Yang continued, "Don't worry, the standard will definitely be determined by then. Brother Li, you take this one too seriously. "

"Okay! Then I don't have to worry about it anymore. I won't cooperate with the preparation of DVD discs." Li Ru seemed to be messed up, "I'm so tired, I will continue to only make VCD discs."

"Brother Li, don't be like this..." Song Yang was very helpless, "Then our machine, isn't there no disk to read when it comes out?"

"Find another person to do it, there are too many people." Li Ru chuckled, "This pit is getting bigger and bigger. You find another person, and I will authorize the production, regardless of what he does. Plus or minus Disk, negotiate the authorization fee, I can do it!"

After saying that, he walked away.

As he said, making CDs seems to be a bigger and bigger pit.

First there are more and more pirated copies, and then there are two different kinds of DVD discs.

This time, it seems that Li Ru only used reselling copyrights to earn licensing fees.

With people from Lianxiang Holdings here, the new disagreement between Li Ru and Song Yang naturally spread again.

Last time, when it was suggested that he could also get involved in the production of software and game discs, Lianxiang's people did not join in.

This time, someone should be hooked on the discrepancies over DVD discs, right?

After all, after more than two years of accumulation, Sanyou Culture has indeed acquired the copyrights of a lot of film and television content.These works are all Chinese audiences love to watch, and they are works in Chinese.

In the past, there was a unified standard for VCD discs, and anyone's machine could play them, which was no problem.

But now, Wan Yan can't wait for the DVD player to come out, but like the original VCD player, the development is slow because of the lack of discs.

As a result, Wan Yan remained on hold, and no one came out to contact Li Ru to discuss cooperation.

"Can't you concentrate on practicing calligraphy?"

Song Yang looked at the word he had written crookedly, and smiled awkwardly at Zhou Huiya who was beside him: "I'm really thinking about something."

Zhou Huiya, who had just come with Song Yang from Xiangdao, stood diagonally opposite.

A long calligraphy and painting table, Song Yang writes on this side, and she is familiar with the brush on the other side.

"Take your time." She was a little worried as she said, "I'm even worse. Will the teacher look down on me? I have no foundation at all."

Song Yang simply put down his pen, walked over and hugged her from behind: "How could it be? No, I just need to learn. The teacher hasn't come yet, you are so diligent and blind to draw. What is this painting?" what?"

"……bamboo."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhou Huiya reached out and tapped the tip of his nose.

"...I thought you wanted to learn oil painting."

Zhou Huiya helped him wipe the ink spots on the tip of his nose with a handkerchief again, and said, "I prefer traditional Chinese paintings. The colors of oil paintings are too gorgeous. But now I feel that they are all black, gray and white, which doesn't seem very good. have a feeling."

"Then ask the teacher later, if there is a more favorite type."

Song Yang and Zhou Huiya wanted to learn something, so naturally they could find a good teacher.

At this stage, Song Yang practiced calligraphy first, and some bigwigs are both excellent in calligraphy and painting.

Waiting for the teacher to come over, Zhou Huiya asked, "Should I also visit your parents sometime?"

Song Yang was silent for a moment.

"Let's wait until the end of the year to see if they are willing to come to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year."

Although the relationship has not been confirmed for a long time, one is nearly 30 years old, and the other is also young and mature, and the two have entered this stage naturally.

It seems that there is no need to go through the process of being passionately in love. As soon as we are together, we enter the state where you write and I draw.

"Do you want me to play the piano for you? If you are thinking about something, just concentrate on thinking about it."

Song Yang smiled and nodded: "Okay."

There was also a newly bought piano in the piano room, and Song Yang just sat beside her, hugged her waist and listened to her playing the quiet piece.

It was actually his song "One Meat and One Vegetarian".

No matter whether she was intentional or not, Song Yang finally thought of Shen Qingxue in a daze.

Putting this thought aside, he continued to think about Wan Yan.

DVD discs, they don't care, is there a source at all?
……

"Vessel, shareholders are complicated."

In the call from Shi Youming, he was also a little cautious: "I didn't notice this company at all before. Sun Yan was just a name, and the person in charge was an American. Among the shareholders, there is a company from Mitsui in Japan, and a company under Samsung. The company, and the others are some funds in the United States. One of the funds sent directors is Yang Zirong."

Song Yang understood: "Okay. No matter what their composition is, or what happened to the DVD decoding chip, they can't do anything until they see the real thing. Just know it. What about you?"

Shi Youming became a little excited: "From what I've learned, many banks in Thailand have lent more than [-] billion Thai dollars for half a year. The momentum is huge!"

"Six months?" Song Yang laughed, "It seems that it's really coming soon."

"Although their deficit data this year has not yet come out, it is really likely to be close to 200 billion U.S. dollars. The hole is huge! This wave may make a lot of money."

Song Yang thought it was a matter of course. This time Shi Youming brought 20 billion US dollars, and the margin was sufficient. As long as the leverage was not too large, the risk was really not that big, and he was eating meat.

"Don't be greedy." Song Yang just said, "Retreat in time and go to South Korea to make arrangements."

"……South Korea?"

Song Yang chuckled and said, "How much meat is there in Thailand? We will withdraw from Thailand before summer, and withdraw from South Korea before the end of next year."

On the DVD side, it is just a silhouette of American capital pulling companies like Samsung to do it together.The imprint of the times next year is that the country will go bankrupt, and people will take advantage of the return of the US dollar to hold a lot of money.

The division of labor is different. Some people get quick money, while others take advantage of the opportunity to cut cash cows.

On November 11, Wanyan was listed in Shanghai.

They did not choose Pengcheng, which is more popular at this time, but it only shows that listing in Shanghai and Shanghai is more conducive to their many subsequent operations.

It's not surprising at all, because of the quietness of Sanyou Electronics, and because of Wanyan's recent momentum, it has skyrocketed since its listing.

Zhu Shaohong was proud of the spring breeze, and Jiang Wan, who was far away in the United States, had mixed feelings after seeing the news.

But what more people don't understand is why Sanyou Electronics still won the bid in the just-concluded 97 CCTV tender when the "battle has been decided".

The price is also very outrageous: 1.38 million.

Li Ru seemed to have collapsed.

He walked away that day, did not participate in the follow-up discussion, and did not pay attention to the operation of Sanyou Electronics.

But he, who still held the shares, had to go crazy this time.

"More than 1 million, did you earn so much money this year? Now it's all thrown in, so there will be no money for dividends at the end of the year?"

Contradictions always seem to erupt.

"...Brother Li, our DVD prototype is coming out soon." Song Yang "persuaded" him, "Although Wanyan is on the market, it is not yet known who will die. You see, they have been bragging about the DVD decoding chip for a while, why? Didn’t you mention the news about the launch of the DVD player?”

"The money raised from the listing is to build a DVD player production line, and to further expand the production capacity of VCD and super VCD. Didn't you see the news?" Borrowing money from the stock market to expand market share. Is it crazy to win the bid with more than 1 million?"

"...The price is not bad. If the wine sellers don't think that we are bound to win again, the price might exceed 2 million."

It really is so.

Because the first bidders were all wine, the winery that had tasted the sweetness actually went crazy and sold 3.2 million bidders at a sky-high price this year.

Song Yang didn't expect to win this year with only 1.38 million.

It is probably also Sanyou Electronics' performance this year, which makes other competitors feel that this is the upper limit of Biaowang's value.After all, the second year's bid king didn't make that much money.

Li Ru heard Song Yang say that the price was okay, and seemed unable to hold back.

"Okay! Then I'll wait and see if I can earn it back next year. If there is no money at the end of next year, I will quit and break up the partnership!"

After saying this, Li Ru left Sanyou Electronics with a dark face.

When Gu Song heard the news, he couldn't understand it.

"Last year was more than 7000 million, and this year is the same. Now they spend more than 1 million. What cards do they have?"

Why?
Wanyan is now a listed brand, with large machine shipments, a high market share, and low prices. It also took the lead in announcing the plan for a DVD player. How can Sanyou Electronics earn back the 1 million advertising fee next year?
Lu Qiang and Liu Zhi looked at each other, and then said: "It seems that the money in their hands is really an unimaginable amount. DVD players are not the focus in the short term. Don't think about it. Super VCDs have been carrying high prices for a year. They There will definitely be a price that surprises the market next year."

Gu Song nodded, then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If they take some market share next year, it will be good for our plan. The real decisive battle is still DVD players. They don't have the US and European markets. We are now on a solid foundation."

Lu Qiang nodded, and then said: "You can do whatever you want. But the most important thing today is that there should be a big market next year. The flow of foreign funds has not been easy recently."

Lianxiang was listed on Xiangdao, and the eyes of all three of them lit up at the same time.

Many things can be adjusted according to the situation, including giving Lianxiang real control, including how to drag Sanyou Electronics and even Chunya Investment into the quagmire.

At the end of the chat, Gu Song smiled: "It seems that Li Ru, who was tossing the CD, really fell out with them. Or, Lianxiang give him a hand? Since there are strategic considerations, we can let him play on the CD. Just be more confident. Now, he seems to be able to make a little money with the CD business."
