Fang Chen's group seemed to be exactly like ordinary tourists, but there were still some subtle differences when they looked closely, and their eyes kept scanning the surrounding booths, as if they were looking for something.

They're looking for a company, Scooper.

Because the core is the decoding technology of Scober, and 3 is also developed by technology.

The standard video compression coding technology mainly uses the inter-frame compression coding technology with motion compensation to reduce the time redundancy, the technology to reduce the spatial redundancy of the image, and the entropy coding to reduce the statistical redundancy in the information representation.

Officially, because of this technology, the dominance of audio tapes and cassette tapes was ended, and the era of optical discs was ushered in.

Of course, the originator of optical discs, laser discs appeared in the 80s, and laser discs do not have mosaics, ribbons or other problems caused by digital quantization, and because it is a non-contact relationship, there is no problem that the image will deteriorate if the video is played too much.

It may sound like a perfect disc, but the only problem is that it's too expensive.

Because there is no compression technology, the volume of laser discs is usually dozens of times the size of a disc, almost the same as the size of a vinyl record, and the price is about 500 yuan a piece, which is not at all what ordinary families can consume.

So since the advent of laser discs, it has been tepid, mostly appearing on radio and television stations, as well as in the homes of a few local tyrants.

And the cost of a CD-ROM is only between a few cents and two dollars if you don't take into account intellectual property rights, and even if it is a little more expensive now, the cost of a CD-ROM will not exceed ten yuan.

It is precisely because of such a low price that it has quickly become popular in countries all over the world, especially in developing countries such as China, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

In China alone, in just three years, the sales volume increased from two or three thousand units a month to about six million units in 1996, and in 1997, the annual sales volume exceeded 10 million units.

Although the price at that time also dropped from the initial 5,000 yuan per unit to about 2,000 yuan per unit, it has to be said that it is still a large market with an annual output value of more than 20 billion yuan.

The popularity can be seen from countless video stores across the country.

Qingtian only needs to get a quarter from the inside, no, a fifth of the market share, which is equivalent to creating a small bully, and if you count the huge disc sales, it will be even more terrifying.

It is also another development path that Fang Chen found for Xiaobawang.

No way, although learning machines don't decline as quickly as game consoles, it's clear that they've come to an end now.

In addition to the expansion of overseas markets, it is foreseeable that with the saturation of the learning machine in the domestic market, the learning machine will only grow up to the age of children who can use the learning machine in the future, and this part of the new users will be generated, which is too small compared with the current huge stock market.

But also to face the computer, as well as a variety of stand-alone games, online game consoles squeeze.

At that time, it will be good if Xiaobawang can maintain a sales scale of one billion per year.

This is also the reason why after 1998, Xiaobawang almost disappeared.

But Fang Chen could never accept such a situation.

Then the development and production of new products is the choice that Xiaobawang must choose, or for a technology product company, the only thing that can maintain its own life is to continue to develop new products.

Even a company like Apple, which is a great company in the tech world, will inevitably face this outcome if it can't produce more high-tech, more novel features, or other new products.

It can even be said that Apple's decline, at least in China, is caused by a series of problems such as Apple's inability to come up with new products that can attract people's attention, as well as the constant fried cold rice, and the serious lack of cost performance.

No way, this is the fate of technology companies, Nokia, Motorola, Sony, Siemens, Lucent, etc., countless technology product companies, all died because of this.

As the famous saying about Nokia, we didn't do anything wrong, but for some reason, we lost.

In fact, what Fang Chen wants to say is that Nokia is wrong, even very wrong, and has not kept up with the times, which is Nokia's biggest mistake!

The only problem was that the piracy of discs was too rampant, but Fang Chen already had a plan in his heart.

Helplessly, after looking around, Fang Chen still didn't find Scober.

Scoober is too small now, among the more than 1,700 companies participating in the exhibition, it is like a drop in the ocean, not to mention that Fang Chen and others have been looking for a long time, and even the staff of the exhibition do not know where the booth of Scoober Company is.

No way, in the United States, a company that has just been established for four years and has an annual revenue of no more than $10 million is really just a small company.

Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and after looking for a long time, Fang Chen finally saw Scober's booth.

Looking at the booth where Scottber was only about two square meters, only one table could be placed, and people had to turn sideways when they entered and exited, Fang Chen had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, what is looking for a needle in a haystack, he really felt it today.

You know, he is now in a huge exhibition hall of 220,000 square meters!

It's crazy all.

Seeing that Fang Chen and the others seemed to be walking towards them, Scooper's staff couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly stood up from their chairs, showing the sweetest smile at Fang Chen, and shouted wildly in their hearts, "Come here! Come here!"

Seriously, they were so bored waiting this morning, not to mention that there were very few people who were interested in their company's technology, and even those who patronized their booth.

The boss has already said that if there is no turnover at this exhibition, they will wait for a salary cut.

As if their prayers had worked, Fang Chen not only came to their booth, but also picked up one of their brochures and read it.

"Sir, let me introduce to you, the technology is our company's latest development of video compression technology, mainly used to solve the storage problem of multimedia, can be applied to different bandwidth equipment, it can be compressed for standard resolution images, the transmission rate is 15bss, 30 frames per second playback, with laser turntable sound quality, the quality level is basically the same"

"If you want, the encoding rate can be up to 45bss, but as the rate increases, the quality of the decoded image decreases, and our technology can be used in asymmetric digital subscriber lines, video-on-demand, and educational networks. At the same time, the technology can also be used as a recording medium."

Fang Chen didn't stop him, and let the girl in her twenties next to him, with a good figure and a sweet smile, introduce him to the technique.

Seeing Fang Chen's unmoved appearance, the girl was immediately deflated, probably hopeless, because the few guests who came this morning were all similar to Fang Chen's current attitude.

Fang Chen smiled lightly, and suddenly said: "After listening to your introduction, I am indeed very interested in your company's technology, where is your President Sun? I want to meet him." ”

Hearing this, all the employees of the entire Scober booth were stunned, looking at Fang Chen in disbelief, they couldn't believe it, thinking that their ears were hallucinating.

However, it is said that all the employees of the booth are actually two or three big cats and small cats.

"You really have a sense of technology for our company"

The girl who introduced Fang Chen just now said excitedly, but she stopped abruptly halfway through her words, her face showed a hint of blush, what she said just now, no matter how she heard it, it had a kind of meaning of smashing her company's business.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Sun is now going out for coffee with a friend from Huaxia, and he will be back in a while. The girl said apologetically.

But in the next moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in the girl's mind, and she said in surprise: "You know our Mr. Sun." ”

She suddenly realized just now that Fang Chen should know their boss, otherwise how could she just say that she wanted to find their boss.

At this time, Fang Chen's brows frowned slightly, and he felt a little bad.

Coffee went.

and a friend of Huaxia.

Instead of answering the girl's question directly, Fang Chen asked rhetorically, "Do you know who you Mr. Sun went to have coffee with?"

"This is a friend of Mr. Sun in Huaxia, and it seems that he is also engaged in TV technology work, and Mr. Sun calls this Professor Jiang. The girl said.

Hearing this, Fang Chen's expression suddenly felt a little subtle and faint helplessness, he really got up early in the morning and rushed to a late meeting, he came as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by Jiang Wanmeng.

Jiang Wanmeng is the director of the Jianghuai Provincial Television Technology Research Institute in China and the main inventor.

The world's first station is the boss of him and Scottber, Sun Yansheng cooperated to develop it, that is, it is famous in China and is known as the originator, Wan Yan.

Even the word Wan Yan is to take one word from each of their names.

But listening to what this girl meant, Jiang Wanmeng and Si Gaobai's boss, Sun Yansheng and the two knew each other early, and Fang Chen's heart felt a little better.

Since the two had known each other before, it was no wonder that he was not guilty, it could only be said that it was a crime of non-war.

However, he remembered the biographies of Jiang Wanmeng and Wan Yan that he read in his previous life, and they didn't mention that the two had known each other for a long time.

This group of unscrupulous newspapers and magazines.

But the two have known each other for a long time, and it seems normal, after all, both of them are Chinese, and they are both engaged in television, as well as digital compression, digital encoding, and decoding technology.

Ask where Sun Yansheng and Jiang Wanmeng drank coffee, it was nearby, Fang Chen decided to go directly to them.

In case the two of them negotiated in advance, not to mention how troublesome it was, but things would definitely not go as smoothly as he imagined, but into another track.
