Nobuyuki Idei was hoping that Daqian would not be able to sell their VCD players. Nobuyuki Idei waited for 5 days, but Daqian's VCD players were still being sold.
Although because of the launch of Sony's VCD players, Da Qian's shipments had decreased. But Da Qian was still selling.
"When will they be able to short their VCD players?" Nobuyuki Idei finally asked his secretary with a puzzled expression. Of course, the secretary couldn't answer this question and could only reveal an awkward smile.
5 days later, Nobuyuki Idei could not smile anymore.
Sony's VCD players sales reached their peak on the 3rd day. On the 5th day, Sony had sold a total of 1.2 million units.
But on the 5th day, Sony's VCD players sales started to drop. It was not because there were quality issues with Sony's VCD players. It was because Daqian announced to the public that the total number of Daqian VCD players had reached 10 million units. This meant that 10 million households in Fusang were using Daqian VCD players.
The total number of households that needed to buy VCD players had decreased greatly.
"This is not possible. This is not possible!! He is a liar. A complete liar!! "When Nobuyuki Idei heard this news, he was stunned.
In Nobuyuki Idei's mind, Daqian would never sell 10 million units. The total number of chips sold by Sony was only 7 million. Even with Toshiba's chips, the total number of chips sold would not exceed 9 million.
There were only so many chips in the market. How could Daqian sell 10 million units of VCD players?
That was 10 million units of VCD players! The total number of households in Fusang was about 30 million. Of course, not all of these households would buy VCD players. The estimated market was only about 20 million households.
Now, Daqian had sold 10 million units. That meant they owned 10 million households. This was more than half of the total market in Fusang. How were they going to compete? How was this possible?!
"This is a trick! This is the Daqian trying to scare us, forcing us to admit defeat and sell the chips to them! "After Idei calmed down, he confidently said to his men.
"Chairman, I've found something wrong!" Unfortunately, at this time, there was always someone who came to mess things up. It was our little Lin-kun. He suddenly appeared with a VCD player, and the VCD player looked like a Daqian VCD player.
"Kobayashi, what are you trying to do?" Nobuyuki Ide immediately glared at him.
"Chairman, there is something wrong with this VCD player!" Lin-kun said anxiously, "I have long felt that there is something wrong with Daqian's sales. Almost all my friends are using Daqian's VCD players. It doesn't match our data."
"That's why I specially ordered a Daqian VCD player the day before yesterday. I came here yesterday to install it."
"So, I sent this VCD to our inspection department last night. We found out that this VCD's chip is not our Sony's decoding chip!"
"How is this possible?! Other than us, who else in the world can produce decoding chips?!! "Nobuyuki Ide's face turned cold. Although Nobuyuki Ide was scolding them, he was also very anxious. There was no reason for Lin-kun and the inspection department to lie to him. Since the inspection results were like this, then there was a 99% chance that this chip was not produced by Sony.
"Chairman, could it be Toshiba's chip?" The secretary put forward a very constructive idea. "Could Toshiba have secretly sold the chip to Da Qian behind our backs?"
"That's possible!" Nobuyuki Ide suddenly realized. "Toshiba does not have any plans to produce VCD players. But they had banned Daqian from selling VCD players. I think Daqian must have given Toshiba a high price, and those damn capitalists could not resist the temptation. They betrayed us and sold the chip to Daqian privately! "
"But the inspection department said that this chip is also not produced by Toshiba. There is no Toshiba's serial number and logo on it!" Lin-kun quickly said.
"Sigh! It's normal to not have it! " Nobuyuki Ide sneered. "Toshiba had done this behind our backs, and they still dare to sell their chip openly? They must have secretly produced some decoding chips without any logo and even the manufacturing process and shape are different. After that, they sold them to Daqian secretly. They did not want to leave any evidence behind! "
"You can see Toshiba's traces on the chip? That's a miracle! Lin-kun, you are still too naive! "Nobuyuki Ide said coldly.
"Hey, I thought too little!" Lin-kun nodded. That's right. It must be that damn Toshiba could not resist the temptation of Daqian and secretly sold the chip to Daqian. Other than that, there was no other explanation.
"Chairman, do you want me to go with you to Toshiba and ask them to stop betraying their allies?!" Lin-kun said angrily.
"Go and look for them? What's the use of that? To let them laugh at us? " Nobuyuki Ide was even angrier. "These guys had done such a thing. It will be strange if they admit it. They will only deny it and laugh at us. Other than that, there is no benefit! "
"Then what should we do?" Lin-kun asked.
"Fine. They sold the chip to Daqian secretly. Then we do not need to cooperate with Toshiba anymore. Tell Toshiba that our alliance has been canceled. They can sell the chip to Daqian openly!" Nobuyuki Ide said angrily.
"Then we will agree to use Toshiba's chip for half of our VCD players …"
"Hmph, the alliance is canceled. Why do we still need Toshiba's chip? Can't we make our own?" Nobuyuki Ide snorted. Lin-kun felt that something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint the exact location. He could only watch as Nobuyuki Ide sent his men to deal with this matter.
In the afternoon, Toshiba's Chairman's office was filled with curses. If it weren't for his men, Toshiba's Chairman would have gone to Sony to challenge Nobuyuki Ide.
Toshiba was furious. Their chip was selling well, but Sony asked the consortium behind them to sign an alliance agreement. Toshiba's chip cannot be sold to anyone but Sony.
If this was the case, Toshiba would still be able to earn some money from selling the chips. But this damn Sony! After defeating Da Qian, they went back on their word and even made up a lie to say that they sold the chips to Da Qian privately!
If this was true, it would be fine. But a few weeks ago, when Toshiba contacted the Daqian secretly, the Daqian rejected them. They said they would never cooperate with a company like Toshiba. Unless Toshiba apologized to the Daqian, there was no deal between them!
I'm f * cking innocent!!
Although Toshiba's Chairman gave up the idea of challenging Nobuyuki Ide, Toshiba immediately announced that they will be starting their VCD program. Toshiba's VCD players will be sold in two months. Just like this, the third VCD player to join Sony appeared.
In the end, Nobuyuki Ide was still in his office. He was so angry that he wanted to challenge Nobuyuki Ide.
From then on, Toshiba and Sony had a good relationship. But now, there was a feud between them. This feud could not be resolved for a long time. In the end, a lot of things happened.
Of course, we will talk about these in the future.
Now, we will turn our attention back to our Boss Jia. Actually, when Sony's VCD players were launched, Boss Jia was no longer in Fusang. He had flown back to China.
This was because this month, there were two important events. First, Zhu Qiushui's due date was approaching.
Second, China will be connected to the Internet.
The relevant authorities announced that Hua Xia will be connected to the Internet on December 1, 1994. Hua Xia will be the 77th country in the world to be connected to the Internet.
[PS: Hua Xia will be connected to the Internet on April 20, 1994. This part was changed for the storyline. Please do not be misled by the author.]
