"This is the Daqian VCD player?" In Zhongshan City, the cradle of Hua Xia's electronic products, Hu Zhibiao was looking at the shiny metal box in front of him in a small factory.
On the logo, the words "Da Qian VCD" were written in flamboyant calligraphy.
Hu Zhibiao had spent a lot of money to buy this VCD player.
Just now, they had experienced the magic of this VCD player. When the movie was played, there were no static spots, and there were no interruption. The sound and images of the movie were also much clearer than the VCD player.
Simply put, in front of the VCD player, the VCR was completely crushed. They were not on the same level at all.
Of course, this was for a normal VCR. If it was a professional VCR that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of RMB, it would still be better than a VCD player.
What? You are asking what a professional VCR is?
The ones that played movies in the cinema were professional video recorders.
But a professional VCR was more than hundreds of thousands of RMB. No family would be so free to buy a professional VCR.
That's why VCD players will beat VCR players in the future home use market. At least in the current Chinese market, VCD players will win over VCR players.
"Brother, should we dismantle it?" A young man beside Feng Yu asked.
"If we dismantle it, can you put it back?" Hu Zhibiao asked.
"This is hard to say. Who knows if there is an anti-dismantling design inside?" The young man said. "Anyway, I can dismantle it, but I will not be responsible if it is damaged."
"… …" Hu Zhibiao hesitated for a while and finally said, "Dismantle it!"
"Okay!" The young man picked up the screwdriver and started to work. After a while, the VCD player was dismantled from top to bottom. There were all kinds of electronic components inside the VCD player.
"Oh, so that's how it works!"
"It can be designed like this. This is too ingenious!"
"But it is not that complicated!"
After the VCD player was opened, the young man excitedly walked around the VCD player, groping and admiring it. From time to time, he would let out a cry of surprise. Hu Zhibiao did not disturb him.
This was an electronics genius that Hu Zhibiao knew. Although he didn't even study in high school, he was an out-and-out genius when it came to electronics.
Previously, the Little Brainiac and the Little Tyrant, this guy figured out the principles behind them after a day of experimentation. Then, he used a bunch of broken components to forcefully assemble a Little Tyrant.
After Hu Zhibiao found out about this, he immediately became excited and wanted to cooperate with the other party to create a counterfeit version of The Little Tyrant.
However, before Hu Zhibiao could make a move, a storm started. The Little Tyrant and Little Hammer, two large enterprises, collapsed overnight. Hu Zhibiao was so scared that he was glad that he was lucky. At the same time, he gave up on the idea of the learning machine.
However, Hu Zhibiao was still obsessed with electronic products. He could sense that the future world would be a world of electronic products. He could only make a fortune in this industry.
Hence, when he saw the CCTV VCD advertisement, Hu Zhibiao was once again filled with the desire to start a business. He dragged the young man along and started to disassemble the VCD player. He wanted to create a copy of the VCD player.
Hu Zhibiao knew the young man's personality. He didn't like to be questioned by others when he was researching. Hence, Hu Zhibiao sat quietly on the sofa and waited for the young man. After three to four hours, the young man put down the VCD player in his hands and sat on the sofa to rest.
"How is it? Can you make it? " Hu Zhibiao asked nervously. If the VCD player's technical requirements were too high, he would be out of money.
"Yes!" The young man gave Hu Zhibiao an answer that made Hu Zhibiao very happy. "This thing looks very awesome, but the principle inside is very simple. It uses a new international decoding standard. Through a special decoding chip, the digital signal is converted into an analog signal, and then it is broadcasted on TV."
"There are also two decoding chips for audio tracks that are used to broadcast audio. From a technical point of view, it is not difficult. Especially since we already have a ready-made template. As long as you give me enough materials, I can make an exact copy of the VCD player for you within 10 days!" The young man said.
"Are these materials difficult to obtain?" Hu Zhibiao asked excitedly.
"Not difficult. 40% of these electronic components are domestic. However, the other 60% will have to be imported from overseas. Especially the two decoding chips, they have to be purchased from the United States. The cost is a little high."
"I am not sure about the exact price, but these two chips together will definitely cost 300 RMB!" The young man said.
"Then can you estimate the cost of all the components?" Hu Zhibiao couldn't wait to ask again.
"This depends on the quality of the products you buy. If you buy the best quality products, then the cost is estimated to be about 5,000 RMB. But if it is usable, then it will only cost you 2,000 RMB! "The young man said.
"2,000 RMB!" Hu Zhibiao directly ignored the best quality parts and only heard the 2,000 RMB parts that were usable.
From what Hu Zhibiao saw, this Daqian VCD player must also be usable. Then, even if he included the cost of the workers and production line, the total cost of the VCD player was only about 2,500 RMB. However, he could sell it for 6,666 RMB. It was almost three times the profit!
Hu Zhibiao's eyes instantly turned red. He grabbed the young man's arm and said, "Why don't you make this? Let's sell it together and make a lot of money together!"
"Let go of me!" The young man was a little hurt by Hu Zhibiao's grip. He pushed Hu Zhibiao's hand away and said, "Even if I make it, you won't be able to sell it. They must have applied for the patent. If you produce the exact same product, both of us will be waiting to be arrested and sent to jail. Or we will have to pay a lot of money! "
"…" Hu Zhibiao instantly calmed down. He hesitated for a while and said, "What if we sell it secretly?"
"Brother, this is not a video cassette that costs tens of RMB. This is a VCD player that costs a few thousand RMB. If you don't have the three packs and all kinds of proof, who would dare to buy it? If it breaks, there will be no place to fix it. "
"Also, selling the VCD player is too big of a target. It is impossible to hide from the eyes of the police. Don't even think about it!" The young man was clearer than Hu Zhibiao.
"Then … Then, is there no way to bypass the patent?" Hu Zhibiao scratched his head and asked again.
"Of course there is. There is no patent in the world that cannot be bypassed!" The young man smiled and said, "Also, the decoding chip of this VCD player is all foreign decoding chips. These are not in the Daqian's hands. As long as you buy the original decoding chip, you don't have to worry about the patent."
"The real limitation of Da Qian's patent lies in the design of the whole set of circuits and the external appearance. If you are willing to spend the money, I will find a group of brothers and spend three to four months to modify the design of this set of circuits. Then, we will design a brand-new external appearance and the disc insertion mechanism. Basically, we can avoid the patent limitation!"
"But brother, if you want to do this, the cost will be huge. If you can't come up with a few million, you won't be able to do it!" The young man muttered.
"A few million …" Hu Zhibiao was lost in thought. It was obvious that Hu Zhibiao definitely couldn't come up with a few million research and development funds. However, Hu Zhibiao felt that he didn't need to come up with the money himself. Many thoughts flashed through Hu Zhibiao's mind.
At the same time, Hu Zhibiao wasn't the only one in the country. There were hundreds of companies and individuals who secretly bought the Daqian VCD player and used it as a prototype for research.
Among them, there were some rich bosses who bought more than twenty units in one go. They were afraid that if the number was too small, they wouldn't be able to research it.
In fact, in the first batch of three thousand units, about one thousand units were bought by these people with ulterior motives.
