Chapter 1036: The one who was dragged down must be Qingtian!

Hearing Jiang Wanmeng ask about Qingtian's situation, Sun Yansheng's face couldn't help but change slightly, and his expression became a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanmeng's face also changed, and he looked at Sun Yansheng intently.

As soon as he saw Sun Yansheng like this, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and after a deep sigh, he said directly: "Old Sun, we have been partnering for almost a year, and seeing that the VCD has been successfully developed, if it goes well, it will be successfully mass-produced in five months, and it will be officially listed, what can you not say to me before? No matter how bad things I can bear." ”

Hearing this, Sun Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said frankly: "Actually, there is nothing bad to say, and I don't even know if it's good or not." ”

He paused, and then said: "I don't know what the progress of the Qingtian side is, I don't know very well, last year, Qingtian asked Scooper to send a group of engineering and technical personnel to cooperate with the work of Qingtian to solve the problems encountered in the matching of decoding chips and other VCD hardware, but this work was completed in November last year, and after the completion, my people left Qingtian, so I don't know what the progress of Qingtian is." ”

Speaking of this, Sun Yansheng took a deep breath, "And there is one more thing, I have not told you, in May last year, Qingtian placed an order for 3 million decoding chips with Scooper. ”

"Three million decoding chips, is Qingtian crazy?" Jiang Wanmeng made his debut with great excitement.

What is the concept of 3 million decoder chips?

It represents three million VCDs!

What a terrifying figure, if calculated according to the price of 5,000 yuan per VCD, then these 3 million VCDs are equivalent to 15 billion sales.

As a new product that has never appeared in the world, the public is undoubtedly extremely ignorant of VCD.

In this case, he really wanted to grab Fang Chen's collar and ask who gave Fang Chen the courage to make him feel that he could sell three million VCDs.

Why did the Chinese people, who had just eaten a full meal, pay Fang Chen this 15 billion.

Moreover, Fang Chen ordered three million decoding chips at one time, obviously thinking that in a short time, or even within a year this year, he could sell three million VCDs, otherwise he would not have done so.

After all, decoding chips are not a bargain, a chip the size of a fingernail is quoted at 50 US dollars, 3 million pieces, that is 150 million US dollars, 800 million Chinese dollars.

With these 800 million Huaxia coins, what is Qingtian doing badly, even if he puts it in the bank to eat interest, he can earn 100 million yuan a year.

But the problem is that according to his understanding of the domestic market and the degree to which Chinese people accept new things, he thinks that selling 30,000 VCDs this year is already a high incense.

And this data is only one percent of Fang Chen's three million units, and even the biggest prediction he made for Sun Yansheng before the domestic VCD market is that after the VCD market matures, it will only be two million units per year, which is one million units less than the three million units set by Fang Chen now.

Seriously, at this time, Jiang Wanmeng thought about it, and he couldn't figure out why Fang Chen could sell three million VCDs.

He really didn't know if the world was changing too fast, he was already outdated, or was Fang Chen crazy?

The expression on Sun Yansheng's face on the side was a little embarrassed.

No way, his current identity is too embarrassing.

He is the founder and main investor of Wanyan Company, which has half of any revenue, but at the same time, he is also the chairman of the company that developed the decoding chip, Scooper.

As a decoding chip that was just released in April last year, although the MPEG-1 monolithic video decompression chip has been widely praised by the industry, it has not found a field that can be actually applied.

In other words, there are no chips, but no products.

And there is no product to apply, which means that the decoding chip he worked hard to develop cannot be sold, after all, the chip is a component that depends on the whole machine, not to mention the sale of a single chip, even if it is given away for nothing, no one wants it, and it is disgusting.

This is also the reason why he hit it off with Jiang Wanmeng, and was even willing to invest in Wanyan Company and make VCDs with Jiang Wanmeng.

But who knows, a Fang Chen came out halfway, and after failing to subdue Jiang Wanmeng, he threw off his arms and did it himself, and changed hands and placed an order of three million decoding chips on Scottber.

And when he was bargaining, it was a little more difficult, and he forcibly cut his offer of 50 US dollars per piece of decoding chip to 34 US dollars a piece, and his profit was almost gone.

However, with the production of more and more decoding chips, this part of the cost will be diluted a lot, and his profit margin will also go up, conservatively estimated, each decoding chip earns about ten dollars, it should be no problem.

As for the rest, they are all relatively formal, and it can even be said that they are easy to speak, and on the second day of signing the contract, they sent a deposit of 30 million US dollars, which is a little scary as fast as it is.

In doing so, it was as if he felt that if he didn't give him any more money, Scooper would immediately go out of business.

This is extremely incredible for a person like him who often deals with East Asians and has become accustomed to the East Asian style of doing things, after all, this speed is not even available to Europeans and Americans who have always been generous, or the extremely rigid Dongwei people.

Or is Huaxia really so rich, so rich that he doesn't even care about 30 million US dollars?

And in the past year, although he has been working hard to promote Scooper's decoding chip, there are very few people who are actually willing to buy it, and even if someone is willing to buy it, it is only experimental, buying thirty or fifty tablets.

After all, not everyone is Fang Chen, and when the product research and development has not started and the product does not even have a hair, he dares to place such a large order and take out a deposit of 30 million US dollars.

Almost all enterprises and experimental institutions, like Wanyan Company, take a small number of chips to do research, and only after the research results can they place large-scale orders.

But even when he waited until that time, he didn't think that anyone could place an order for three million pieces in one breath like Fang Chen.

In this way, he fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

It is foreseeable that Fang Chen will definitely be the biggest competitor of Wanyan Company in the future, so he, the major shareholder of Wanyan Company, should regard Fang Chen as an enemy.

At the same time, as the chairman of the company, Fang Chen is the largest customer of their company, and it can even be said that it is the only customer, after all, Fang Chen alone occupies 99% of the company's existing orders.

Such a large customer has the ability to decide the life and death of any company.

So much so that he has been worried that Fang Chen will use his dominant position to put pressure on Scooper, asking him not to support Wanyan Company, and even asking him to withdraw from Wanyan Company.

After all, although he is the chairman of the company, he is not the absolute owner of the company, and his shares only account for 30% of the company's total shares, and it will be really troublesome if other major shareholders unite against him.

Moreover, the other major shareholders also have reasons to do so, after all, Wanyan is not the company they invest in.

Fortunately, Qingtian never did this, and he didn't even mention Wan Yan, as if there was no such thing as Wan Yan Company in this world.

While admitting that DynaSky is an atmospheric company, he also secretly speculated that the reason why DynaSky is so generous is probably related to the fact that Scooper is the only company in the world that can produce MPEG-1 decoding chips.

As for why he didn't tell Jiang Wanmeng about it, it wasn't because he didn't dare to say it, it was hard to say, but because he was afraid that Jiang Wanmeng was frightened by Fang Chen's order for three million pieces, and he didn't even have the courage to develop VCD.

Whoever knows that there is no progress on their side, and when the opponent has already prepared three million ammunition, they will subconsciously be afraid and even lose their souls.

At this time, Jiang Wanmeng suddenly patted Sun Yansheng's shoulder and said with relief: "Yansheng, I know that you are for the good of the company and for my good, I won't blame you, if you want to blame it......"

The corners of Jiang Wanmang's mouth pulled out a helpless, self-deprecating smile, "It's just that our opponent is too strong." ”

In April last year, when he met Fang Chen for the first time, he didn't feel anything, and this year, as Fang Chen gradually surfaced, there were more and more reports about Fang Chen and even gossip on the road stalls, and he became more and more aware of Fang Chen's strength, and even couldn't help but be afraid.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already started making VCDs and felt that he could do them well, maybe he would have started to quit by now.

After all, it's hard for ants to compete with elephants.

As for blaming Sun Yansheng, he didn't mean anything at all.

Although VCD is his hard work, it is obviously Sun Yansheng who contributed more money, and the 17 million dollars that founded the company were basically Sun Yansheng, and he only took out less than 500,000 US dollars.

Although he was already the director of the Jianghuai Provincial Institute of Modern Television Technology, his monthly salary was more than 400 yuan, and the 500,000 US dollars were still his life savings, plus borrowing from other relatives and friends.

But the shares of the two are equal, and even as the general manager of the company, he also took a symbolic 1% more shares, after all, the law does not allow both people to be 50% shares.

And since last year's decision to develop VCD, Sun Yansheng's support for VCD has never been broken, basically he asks for money for money, asks people for people, and never shirks anything he asks.

If in this case, he still suspected that Sun Yansheng was secretly eye-to-eye with Fang Chen, then he was too much of a thing.

However, there was a sentence in Sun Yansheng's words just now, which made him a little big.

Previously, Sun Yansheng said that Qingtian Company had done a good job of adapting the decoding chip to various hardware in November last year, while Wanyan Company only completed the adaptation work in January.

This also means that the VCD progress of Qingtian is two months faster than Wanyan.

In other words, as early as two months ago, Qingtian had already completed the formal research and development of VCD, and mass production or something would be two months faster than Wanyan Company.

No, it should be faster, after all, Qingtian has a lot of money, strong strength, and more manpower and material resources to invest in the research and development of VCD, and now the progress should be three months faster than Wanyan Company.

Doesn't that mean that Qingtian's VCD will be ready for mass production in two months.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanmang's face couldn't help but change drastically, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, after all, according to his expectations, after the VCD was officially developed, there would be five months before the first batch of VCDs could be produced.

Moreover, the first batch of mass production of Wanyan Company is expected to be only 1,000 units, but he no longer knows how many units there are, at least in units of 10,000 units, even 20,000, 30,000, he is not unusual.

If his prediction is correct, there will only be a maximum of 30,000 VCD sales space in China this year, and Wanyan, whose production capacity is lower than that of Qingtian and whose mass production time is three months later than Qingtian, is not only a dead end.

At this time, Jiang Wanmeng suddenly had some hope that Fang Chen's prediction was correct, otherwise his Wanyan company would really have no way to survive at all.

Seeing Jiang Wanmeng's pale face, like a mournful woman, Sun Yansheng sighed helplessly, this time it was his turn to comfort Jiang Wanmeng.

"Wan Mang, the situation is not as bad as you imagined, three million VCDs, this Qingtian is absolutely impossible to sell, and didn't you say, the future VCD market can be as high as two million units per year? ”

Speaking of this, a strange smile flashed in Sun Yansheng's eyes, "And I believe that according to the character and style of this Mr. Fang, since he dares to buy three million pieces of MPEG-1 decoding chips in one go, he will definitely not buy less of other parts, if the market sales are not as good as this Mr. Fang imagined, if he can't clear the inventory of three million in a year, or even two years, then the one who will be dragged down is probably the sky." ”

"After all, in two years, the cost of MPEG-1 decoding chip will definitely be reduced a lot, if the decoding chip in Fang Chen's hand is not used up at that time, it means that the cost of using MPEG-1 decoding chip is at least twice as expensive as ours, and although the production of other parts is not Moore's Law, I believe that the cost will be reduced a lot, after all, the cost of new products and mature products is definitely different, so that the cost of VCD produced by Qingtian will be much more than ours. ”

According to Moore's Law, when the price remains the same, the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles about every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double.

In other words, the performance of chips that can be bought for every dollar will more than double every 18-24 months, which means that chips with the same performance will only be half of the original price every 18-24 months.
