"Luckily, Philips will be working with us, Wind & Rain Electronics, and AIWA to set the standard for Digital Universal Disc. This will change the world!" Feng Yu's words were provocative.
"Mr Feng, since you know why I am here, can we talk about our cooperation now?" Thomas asked anxiously.
"Of course. What do you want from Philips? Please let us know. Hmmm … … We also have our own requests. "Feng Yu wants to hear what Philips wants before telling them his own conditions.
"We are very interested in the MPEG technology. No matter if it is the first or second generation technology, we need it. We, Philips, have advanced technologies in laser discs, compact discs, etc. For example, the compressed disc technology used in your VCD is invented by us, and we own the patent. "
"We are using a new technology, not a patented technology. This does not constitute infringement," Jiang Wanmeng couldn't help but say.
"You misunderstood. I am not saying that you are infringing on the patent. The technology of compact discs is changing every month, but as the inventors, we have always been at the forefront of the technology. Therefore, our cooperation will undoubtedly allow compact discs to completely replace the traditional videotape. This is a win-win situation, "Thomas explained.
"Our VCD technology has taken over 20% of the world's video cassette player market share, and it is still increasing. In fact, in Hua Xia, our VCD technology had taken over 60% of the video cassette player market share. We also have over 30% of the North American market share. Even without your help, we are confident that we can replace the video cassette in 3 to 5 years. "
Who are you treating me as a fool? With your help, we will only be faster, but you all still have a share of the profits. Without your help, we can still succeed, and all the profits will belong to me. To Wind & Rain Electronics, these were two parallel paths. Either choice was good. But from what Thomas said, Wind & Rain Electronics was going down the wrong path. What a joke!
If this was when the VCD was first invented, it would still be acceptable. But after such a long period of time, VCD had been accepted by many people. It was time to reap the fruits of victory. There was no difference between two years earlier or two years later.
"The earlier we finish it, the earlier we can earn more profits. The market is the most important. Can you deny that? "Thomas retorted.
"From scratch, we used a few months. From the invention to the promotion of the world, we used less than two years. The market is being dominated by us." Feng Yu said calmly.
Thomas didn't refute and continued, "Alright, I'll put it another way. You developed the digital universal disc to sell this product and the player, right? As for the video player, the technology was also very important. I believe you all are already working on this. But are you all sure that you all can develop the DVD encoding technology faster than Toshiba and Sony? "
Recording technology was the technology that Feng Yu wanted to master the most. If he could only read and not record, then the range of application would be much smaller. If a PC had a CD-ROM drive, then the CD-ROM could replace the floppy disk. The profits from this will be very high!
If Lenovo was the first to use this technology on their PC, then Lenovo's growth will be very fast. They might even become one of the world's top PC players!
On a smaller scale, Wind and Rain Electronics and Aiwa also need this technology. If not, they will only be able to produce VCD discs, or the DVD discs they produce will not be compatible with other companies' products. This will affect the DVD players' marketing.
DVD will definitely replace VCD. If this standard was set by Wind & Rain Electronics like VCD, then Wind & Rain Electronics's status in the international market will increase, and the profits will come in.
"How can you prove that if we cooperate with Philips, our development speed will be faster than Toshiba and Sony? Furthermore, Pioneer, Hewlett-Packard, etc. are also developing the related technologies. "Feng Yu asked.
"Because our company is called Philips, and we are the first to develop this technology. We have the most resources!" Thomas said confidently.
"Fine. Even if your technology is the best, then why did we develop the MPEG technology before you? If we cooperate with other companies, we will also get the same results. "Feng Yu said proudly.
Damn. You are making it sound like Philips is so powerful. If you are so powerful, why didn't you develop VCD players? You are all eyeing this big cake and want a slice of it.
Of course, we can work together to suppress Sony and the other companies. But you can't be too arrogant. You are acting like we can't do anything without Philips.
"General Manager Feng, let's analyze the market. After you all set the standards, Toshiba and Sony immediately introduced their own standards. Pioneer and Hewlett-Packard also announced their plans to develop this technology. That means 4 of the world's leading consumer electronics companies are participating in this competition, and we are not included. May I ask what is the ranking of Wind & Rain Electronics in the world's leading consumer electronics industry? "
Damn. You are slapping us in the face! If we are the top company in the world, why would we care about other companies joining hands?
"Our ranking might not be high in the consumer electronics industry. But in the video cassette player industry, our technologies are the best in the world. Just look at the VCD player. It is a product that will change the consumer electronics industry. Soon, we will introduce the Super VCD player. It will be able to defeat the cassette players. When we introduce the DVD player, we will be one of the world's leading consumer electronics companies. "
"Time. Mr. Feng, let me remind you. Time is of the essence. What if others introduce DVD players before you introduce the Super VCD player? Your VCD can store 100 minutes of high-definition videos. What if others can store 200 minutes? VCD is not only used to store movies. There is also a popular type of video called TV series. You can store 2 to 3 episodes in one VCD, and others can store 10 episodes. This is the difference. "
"Don't forget we still have our partner, Aiwa."
"Aiwa is not bad, but it is only in the Walkman industry. In the CD industry, Aiwa's technologies were not better than Sony and other brands. But in the VCR industry, Aiwa was still a newcomer. Their brand and technologies are not good. They cannot be compared to us, Philips! "
Damn. You dare to belittle Aiwa?! If Heitaro Nakajima knew about this, he will fight you with his Samurai sword! If Heitaro Nakajima loses … … he will commit suicide!
Feng Yu frowned and said: "Mr. Thomas, the more you say, the more it proves that you are willing to cooperate with us. Tell me your conditions."
