Madam Niu was a loyal movie lover. She loved watching movies, especially Hong Kong movies. Therefore, when the VCD player appeared, Madam Niu immediately bought a Daqian VCD player. At the same time, she also bought a lot of VCD players. She had been using them happily.
However, recently, Madam Niu noticed that the VCD player often had issues such as lagging, distortion, loss of sound, etc. Madam Niu brought the VCD player to the Daqian after-sales department to check. However, the Daqian after-sales department said that there was no problem. They did not repair or replace the VCD player. This made Madam Niu very angry. Therefore, she wrote a letter to the TV station in Jindi, asking for help.
In fact, Madam Niu wrote this letter quite early. She had already sent it to the TV station in March. However, the TV station did not respond. It was already June. Just when Madam Niu was about to forget about this matter, a reporter from the TV station suddenly came to her door. He started to interview her about the Daqian VCD player.
Although this made Madam Niu a little confused, it was still a good thing that they came. Therefore, Madam Niu angrily showed the reporter about the problem that she encountered.
After that, the news was broadcasted on TV.
"It's done!" Seeing that the news about the Daqian VCD player was broadcasted on TV, Hu Zhibiao and the others laughed heartily. At the same time, they also started to arrange for newspapers and TV stations to broadcast the news. After that, they added fuel to the fire. They wanted to show the public that the Daqian VCD player's quality was just so-so.
However, the effect was not satisfactory. This was because the public had already been affected by the news about the VCD player's quality. Now, when they saw the news about the VCD player's quality, they could not help but feel tired and bored.
Therefore, after the news was broadcasted, the Daqian VCD player's sales did not drop as expected. Both parties still maintained the same status as before. This made the other VCD players' bosses feel disappointed.
Logically speaking, at this time, as long as they did some cold treatment, the Daqian VCD player's quality problem would be completely solved.
However, all the bosses did not expect that the Daqian VCD player's quality problem would not end there.

After cooperating with the TV station to do the interview, Ms. Niu thought that it was just a formality and there wouldn't be much improvement. However, on the night of the news broadcast, Ms. Niu received a call from the Daqian headquarters.
The Daqian headquarters said that they had already sent a professional technical team to Ms. Niu's house. They were going to help Ms. Liu figure out why the VCD player was not playing properly.
"There's no need to be so troublesome. Just help me change it!" Madam Niu quickly said.
"No, we must find the problem. Otherwise, more customers will be troubled by the same problem!" The Daqian team's attitude was very firm, which moved Ms. Niu greatly, so she agreed to their visit.
In the end, on the afternoon of the second day, the Daqian technical team arrived. The TV station's reporters also heard the news and came over. Under the witness of the cameras, the Daqian technical team carried out a strict inspection and experiment on the VCD player. In the end, they concluded that there was no problem with the VCD player. The quality was very good!
This conclusion made Ms. Niu so angry that she laughed. She thought that the Daqian team specially sent a technical team to carry out the after-sales service with a serious and meticulous attitude. She didn't expect that they would give her such a damn conclusion. This made Ms. Niu's heart filled with resentment.
"When this VCD player was playing, you all saw the problem. How could there be no problem?" Ms. Niu said angrily.
"Ms. Niu, please don't be angry. After our inspection, there is indeed no problem with this VCD player." The after-sales representative quickly comforted her, "However, this doesn't mean that there is no problem with the other products."
"Other products? Are you saying that my TV is broken? "Ms. Niu asked angrily.
"No, no, no. What I mean is that there might be a problem with your VCD player!" The after-sales representative said with a smile, "I would like to ask if this VCD player would have the same problem when playing all the other VCD players?"
"That's not it … It's strange. Normally, there would only be problems when playing Brother Long's and Stephen Chow's VCD players. Other VCD players don't seem to have any problems!" Ms. Niu recalled and said.
"Then, may I ask how many times you have watched all the VCD players that have problems?" The after-sales representative asked again.
"That … more than thirty times …" Ms. Niu said proudly, "My family is one of the first families in this area to buy a VCD player. Many friends, relatives, and neighbors like to come to my house to watch something new. My house has a lot of customers every day. It's inevitable that the same movie will be played more times!"
"That's right. The problem lies with the VCD player!" The after-sales representative said with a smile, "Please take a look at the back of the VCD player's protective box. It says that a VCD player can only be viewed less than five times. If it is viewed more than five times, there might be data loss. If it is viewed more than ten times, there might be a serious data loss."
"If there is a serious quality problem within ten times of viewing, all the VCD players will be returned and replaced. But if the VCD player is viewed more than ten times, then the VCD player will not be guaranteed! "
Ms. Niu took a look. The back of the VCD player's protective box did have such a small line of words. It was just that the number of words was too small, and it was written in an inconspicuous place. Under normal circumstances, it would be hard to notice such a hint.
"So, the problem isn't with our VCD player, but with the VCD player's VCD player!" The after-sales representative said, "If you encounter such a situation, you can choose to buy a new VCD player."
After that, the after-sales representative took out a new VCD player and put it into the VCD player. The movie was exactly the same, but the playback was very clear and smooth. There wasn't any problem.
"Sorry, sorry. I have wronged you!" Ms. Niu said embarrassedly when she saw that the truth of the matter had been investigated.
"It's okay. The hint on the packaging wasn't obvious enough. That's why you didn't notice these problems!" The after-sales representative bowed again and apologized.
"Then, these VCD players that have been played more than ten times can only be thrown away. They can't be used anymore?" Ms. Niu asked unwillingly. If that was the case, then a lot of the VCD players in her house would be useless.
"That's the case for now. But if you choose to buy our Daqian Entertainment's latest VCD player, the second generation of Daqian VCD player, it will solve this problem perfectly!" The after-sales representative snapped his fingers, and his subordinate immediately brought a brand new VCD player.
The after-sales representative immediately replaced the VCD player with the VCD player. Then, he put the VCD player that had the serious cassette player problem into the new VCD player. Originally, the playback was intermittent, and there would always be various lags. This time, the playback was quite smooth. Although there were still lags occasionally, it was much better than before.
Even if there were lags, the VCD player would skip over quickly. The whole VCD player wouldn't be stuck, and it wouldn't be able to continue playing.
"Is it really so magical?" Ms. Niu exclaimed.
"Of course. This is the VCD player that our Daqian Entertainment has developed after more than one year of painstaking research. All kinds of lags that would occur on ordinary VCD players are put into this Daqian VCD player. Once the lags occur, the Daqian VCD player's built-in super-intelligent AI error-correcting chip will automatically calculate up to ten million times per second. This will solve 99% of the lags. Even an old VCD player can be reborn!" The after-sales representative said with a smile.

"What the f * ck!!" Hu Zhibiao, who was watching the news, threw the teacup in his hand. He had never expected that the news that was originally used to attack the Daqian Entertainment would become Daqian's advertising news.
Initially, Boss Hu was happy when he saw the video. Although the Daqian announced that the problem was with the VCD, Boss Hu was still happy. This meant that Aiduo's problem could also be blamed on the VCD.
However, when the Daqian announced the Daqian VCD2 in the news, Hu Zhibiao was very unhappy.
Putting aside the fact that he had no idea what this super error correction function was, this news was clearly negative news about him messing with the Daqian. How did it suddenly become a product launch for the Daqian?
The most infuriating thing was that the Daqian had just released their new products. How could they release their second-generation products so quickly?
After the news was broadcasted, Daqian officially announced that they will be selling the second generation Daqian VCD player at the same price of 6666 RMB. The first generation Daqian VCD player will be sold at 5998 RMB.
The Daqian VCD player was even better than the other VCD players.
After the second generation Daqian VCD player was launched, Hu Zhibiao received a lot of feedback from the customer service department. Many customers had called to ask if the Aiduo VCD player had the same super error correction function as the Daqian VCD player.
The customer service department replied that the Aiduo VCD player did not have the super error correction function at first. However, the customer service department replied with disdain. "Sigh … this VCD player cannot be compared to the other high-end VCD players."
This made Hu Zhibiao explode with anger. He immediately ordered the young man to develop the super error correction function as fast as possible. However, the problem was that the young man got a second-generation computer and after taking it apart and studying it for a while, he said that he had no way to solve this problem.
This was because the super error correction function was implemented by an independent chip. However, this chip did not belong to any chip sold in the market. In other words, this chip could not be bought in the market.
This chip was either custom-made by the Daqian VCD player or manufactured by the Daqian VCD player. Either way, unless Aiduo could find a way to get the same chip, they would not be able to have the super error correction function.
"Let's make the chip too!" Hu Zhibiao said proudly.
"Then we need to buy a photolithography machine first!" The young man said softly.
"How much does a photolithography machine cost?"
"It is not expensive. It is only a few million USD. Also, if we want to mass produce this type of chip, we will need other equipment. Also, we will need to invest one to two years of research and development. It will cost at least a few hundred million USD …"
"Ahem, forget it then." Hu Zhibiao decisively shut his mouth.
We are not on the same starting line anymore. How can we compete?!
"Boss, this is a summons from the court. The Daqian VCD player is suing us for patent infringement!" Suddenly, the secretary rushed in and reported.
