When Wind & Rain Electronics was trying to recruit other companies to join the HDV camp, Sony and other companies were the first to know about this.
They knew Wind & Rain Electronics's intentions and started to discuss with each other. They decided to give up on some of the issues and introduce the HD digital video camera standards.
In the past, Sony and other companies did not care about the Chinese and US companies. To them, only European companies can compete with Japan's electronics companies. Even South Korea's Samsung and other European companies are no match for them.
But the world is changing too fast. All this while, they had looked down on China. Now, a freak like Feng Yu had appeared and started to develop the consumer electronics industry. Despite all the pressure, Feng Yu still managed to break through.
If this was all, Sony and other companies would not be so frustrated. What frustrated them the most was that this subsidiary of Feng Yu's was developing products that were against them.
From the Walkman to the MP3 player, from VCD to CD-ROM drives, from computers to mobile phones. Every product is fighting with them for the market, and they are winning!
Every time Japan introduced a new product, or was about to introduce it, Hua Xia will be the first to introduce it. From the initial product competition to the current standard competition, it was too much.
Sony had fallen behind in the DVD standards, and they suffered huge losses in the end. Not only their DVD products had suffered losses, but they also suffered losses in the optical drive market.
Sony was one of the top mobile phone manufacturers in Asia. But after Wind and Rain phones were introduced, Sony had no choice but to cooperate with Ericsson to set up a new Sony Ericsson brand. If it weren't for Sony's influence in Asia, this new company might be called Sony Ericsson!
But this time, Sony was confident in the competition for the HD digital video camera standards.
Thomson had digital video cameras, but Philips, Wind and Rain, Aiwa, etc., do not have digital video cameras. You all don't even have a product, and you want to introduce standards?!
Sony and other Japanese companies had digital video cameras. Not only do they have handheld DV, but they are also producing large scale digital video cameras that can be used to shoot movies.
So that the film does not need so much film, can save a lot of costs for the film shooting, let more costs, invested in other aspects of the film, thus improving the quality of the film.
Sony, Toshiba, and the rest have their own movie companies. The movie market is booming, and they can make higher profits.
The development of this HD digital video camera is very important to Sony and other companies. It was a strategic research and development, not just a new product.
After Sony and the Japanese companies discussed this, they sent their men to contact the rest of the electronics and electronics companies. They also want more companies in their camp. They also sent their men to the major movie companies to get them to support their standards.
…
"Good afternoon, corporate representatives and friends from the media. Today, Wind & Rain Electronics, Wind and Rain Electronics, Philips, Thomson, Samsung, Aiwa Electronics … … have decided to work together to introduce the HDV standard. "
"This is based on … We intend to bring better picture quality enjoyment to consumers, and at the same time, provide new development directions for various enterprises. We don't need to worry about the direction of development, and we don't need to compete with each other … … "
Jiang Wanmeng was speaking on the stage, and all the representatives from the companies and the media were listening attentively and taking notes. Some of them were still looking at their phones.
They were checking their messages, emails, and news on the internet.
Of course, it was not because this press conference was boring. It was because in Tokyo, Sony and other companies were also holding a press conference to introduce their HD digital video camera standards.
The representatives from the companies and the media were very concerned about this press conference. They want to know what are the similarities and differences between the two camps' standards.
None of them were naive enough to think that they can not combine these two standards to form a new standard. If that is the case, no one will have an advantage.
The companies that introduced the standards will hope other companies will follow their standards. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not compromise.
Feng Yu was also in front of his PC, reading the news online. Of course, he still needs to read the emails from Masao Kameda.
Feng Yu thought he had introduced the standards earlier and had the advantage. But he did not expect Sony to also speed up their standards. Feng Yu had underestimated Sony and other companies.
After all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Furthermore, Sony is still a profitable electronics giant. Also, Sony and other Japanese electronics companies are not to be underestimated.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Japan's electronics companies can challenge all the rest of the world's companies. In this life, although they are not as strong, they are still powerful.
Sony and the other companies are the world's leading electronics companies in terms of R&D and foundation. This is undeniable.
Feng Yu wants to develop this digital video camera is because he knows the profits of this product in the future. Not to mention the small DV used for household use, just the large DV used for movies and TV dramas will have a huge market.
In the future, traditional film cameras will be obsolete, just like film cameras. The cost of using them is too high. If there was a cheaper one, one that had a lower cost of use and a better effect, who wouldn't want a cheaper one?
Feng Yu looked at the messages in his hand and frowned. He did not expect these Japanese companies to be so capable to recruit so many companies to their side.
South Korea's LG, some Taiwanese companies, Singapore, and other Southeast Asian companies had also joined Sony and other companies' side. Seems like they want to surround the Asian market.
Samsung is on Wind & Rain Electronics's side, and LG had joined Sony and other companies' side. The South Korean companies' choices are interesting.
South Korean companies always look for the safest route. For example, they had done the same for plasma and LCD. With two legs, no matter what happens, they can adjust their direction at any time. Although they might lose some advantages in the early stages, they will not be at a disadvantage.
South Korea's companies are very united, at least when it comes to external matters. This time, South Korea's two electronics giants joined the two factions, and it seems like they did it on purpose.
In the future, no matter which side wins, they can be recommended by the other company to switch sides. This is a good plan.
The thing that made Feng Yu unhappy was those Taiwanese companies had changed sides. Seems like he needs to increase the pressure on those Taiwanese companies and force them to follow China's footsteps obediently. This way, they won't be able to cause any trouble!
