Chapter 1037: He wants to thank Qingtian and Fang Chen
Hearing Sun Yansheng say this, Jiang Wanmeng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his face was slightly happy.
In the past few months, although he didn't know the situation on Qingtian's side, he still had been worrying about how to compete with Qingtian, after all, as long as he was not a fool, he could guess that Qingtian's progress was definitely much faster than Wanyan's.
Qingtian's strength is too strong, and the strong ones make people despair.
And at this moment, it was as if he had fallen into the infinite darkness and suddenly saw a ray of light.
Fang Chen's move to produce three million VCDs at once is definitely a stinky move.
After all, within two years, the price of the decoding chip is only half of the original, and although there is no Moore's law for other parts, but when you get an order for a new part, the company always has to study and design it, and even buy new equipment and produce new abrasives.
These are all costs, and these costs determine that the price of new products will never go down.
At the same time, it also means that as a latecomer, the cost of VCD produced by Wanyan Company will be much lower than that of Qingtian.
At this time, Jiang Wanmeng had already thought that after the VCD of Qingtian was sold for a while, the VCD of their Wanyan company appeared in front of consumers at a cheaper price, and then the VCD of Qingtian could not be sold at a lower price because of the high cost, and finally lost its competitiveness, so it could only be piled up in the warehouse and completely smashed in the hands of the miserable situation.
"Fang Dong, he is a good person, if I can, I really want to award him a certificate of award to reward him for his outstanding contributions to the VCD industry as a pioneer in the VCD industry. Jiang Wanmeng said half-sarcastically, half-sincerely.
Half of what he just said is true, after all, any emerging industry needs a lot of capital investment to thrive.
As it is now, Scober's decoder chips need orders to survive and grow, or they will be shelved.
The R&D and production of other spare parts also need orders as a catalyst, otherwise no fool will produce these messy spare parts for VCD for no reason.
But the problem is that behind the order is money, and a lot of money.
After all, if there is not enough high profit as a temptation, these upstream enterprises and suppliers will not bother to develop and produce spare parts that can only be used by VCD.
Obviously, Dynamom is playing such a pioneer role, taking on the most difficult job.
He already felt this.
For example, some time ago, he purchased a very small component on the VCD, diode light-emitting power spinner, originally he just wanted to call a few domestic manufacturers to see if there was a small batch of research and development for him, if not, he could only go to Dongwei, or other European and American countries to find a way.
These countries not only have mature industries and strong technical strength, but also some small enterprises are specialized in supporting R&D and production work for this emerging industry.
That is to say, he actually did not have hope for the diode light-emitting power trimmer for VCD purchased in China.
But who knew that after just two phone calls, a domestic electronics factory said that it could produce this kind of parts, and the price was cheaper than he imagined, and it could even be said that it was one-tenth of the price quoted by the East and Europe and the United States.
But it should not be, although the domestic product quotation is much lower than that of Europe and the United States, there is no reason to be lower to this extent.
He asked a few words, and then he learned that some time ago, Qingtian ordered a batch of diode luminous power trimmers in their company, so their factory can now determine that they can produce diode luminous power trimmers, and the reason why the price is so low.
After all, they made a simple modification to the diode light-emitting power trimmer produced for Qingtian, and then they could use it for Wanyan Company.
Although it is almost identical to the product, the price quoted to DynaSky is twice as high as that quoted to Wanyan, which is the price that DynaSky needs to bear as an industry pioneer.
And Jiang Wanmeng believes that with the increasing number of VCDs produced in China, the price of these parts will be lower and lower, which is a huge advantage of Wanyan Company as a latecomer.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the VCD listing time of their Wanyan company was two or three months later than that of Qingtian VCD, which was also very good.
Not to mention that the cost is much lower, the market and users will be similar to that of Qingtian Education.
It is also very troublesome to educate users, let users know what VCD is, and stimulate users' desire to buy VCD, and invest a lot of money, I don't know how much advertising money to smash, how many demonstrations to do in the mall, so that users can understand, and further willing to buy VCD.
Before, when he thought of this, he felt that his head was big, but now it seems that Qingtian has done it for him.
By the way, there are also some complementary products, such as CDs!
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanmeng suddenly snorted, the disc is an important thing, the VCD without the disc is useless, and the table is disgusted.
How to get the right disc that can be played on VCD and can attract customers is a headache.
It is even as difficult as the production and development of the VCD itself.
The disc itself is good to say, although there are not many domestic disc factories, and even if there are, it is also for the East Wa, Europe and the United States to match, but after all, there is, which solves part of the problem.
As for the format issue, it is good to say that the format of the VCD disc, basically Sony and Philips have been decided, but it has not been officially announced, and he has already obtained the technical support documents for the relevant meetings.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanmeng couldn't help but sigh lightly, looking a little helpless, although VCD was invented by him, but what format of VCD disc to use, it was not something he could determine, and he didn't even have a little right to speak.
But this is also a helpless thing, who made the disc are invented by Sony and Philips, since these two companies in the eighties, after the development of discs, what kind of format the disc uses, and in what way to burn, these two companies say it.
The so-called Optical Disc Standards Committee has many member units, and even hires many scientists as consultants, but it is Sony and Philips, like Towa Shengli Co., Ltd. and Panasonic Co., Ltd., that is, beating the side drum.
As for him, it is estimated that at the meeting, he was not even qualified to interject a sentence.
But the CD is available, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine, after all, the CD at this time is just a blank CD, what users really need is the content inside.
This is a bit troublesome, the film and television content in these discs is produced by various film studios and TV stations, and the copyright is in the hands of others.
And if you want to put these film and television contents in your own CD, you must first find a way to convince the directors and directors of these film studios and TV stations.
When he thought of convincing a group of elderly people with an average age of sixty years old to accept such a novelty as a CD, Jiang Wanmeng felt a little big, after all, it was quite difficult just to think about it.
And the movies and TV series in people's hands are not blown by the wind, they are also made with real money.
Of course, it must be the state's money that is spent.
However, this does not affect the fact that the copyright is in the hands of these studios and television stations.
If he wants to agree with these film studios and TV stations to authorize him the copyrights of movies and TV series in his hands, he naturally has to give these film studios and TV stations real money.
However, as the director of the Jianghuai Provincial Institute of Modern Television Technology and a well-known system expert in the radio and television industry in China, he still has a thin face in front of the directors of these film studios and television stations.
And even if there are a few film studio directors and TV station directors who are not very familiar with each other, it is not difficult to find a suitable intermediary with his connections.
Therefore, as long as the money is in place, he feels that it is not too difficult to convince the directors of these film studios and TV stations.
After all, these movie copyrights and TV series copyrights are useless for them to hold in their hands, and they can't make any flowers.
But even if these studios and TV stations agree, how to persuade those video stores to agree to sell VCDs for them is also a very troublesome thing, and they will inevitably take the road of luring them with profits.
Counting it bit by bit, from getting the authorization to production, sales, and advertising VCD, if he didn't pay 30 or 50 million, it would be absolutely impossible to get this series of things done.
And in fact, the copyright of movies and TV series that he wants to get the most is not from the mainland, but from the Xiangjiang River.
Both movies and TV series on the Xiangjiang side are much higher than the production level of domestic films and TV dramas, and the attraction to the audience is even more incomparable.
At this point, just look at how many pirated Xiangjiang movies and TV series are in China, this is the best proof.
Especially when the series of Jin Yong's martial arts TV series filmed by Xiangjiang TVB, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Dragon Babu", were broadcast in the mainland at that time, it was said that there were thousands of empty alleys, which was definitely not a false rumor.
But it's a pity that his thin face is still possible in China at most, and the bigwigs in the film and television industry over there in Xiangjiang don't even want to meet him, let alone agree to his request.
However, he still has a way, that is, to play a little sideball, domestic TV stations have introduced a lot of Xiangjiang, even including Dongwei, European and American TV dramas.
When the time comes, he can also take these TV series and burn them on his own CD, after all, when those Xiangjiang, Dongwei and European and American TV stations were licensed to mainland TV stations in the mainland, they didn't say that they would not be allowed to be burned on CD for distribution and dissemination.
Maybe when they authorized it, they didn't even have a CD-ROM or anything like that.
"Yan Sheng, I believe that our VCD can definitely be an instant hit, even if it surpasses the Qingtian VCD, it is not impossible, I want to let Qingtian know that the product is not necessarily a good thing sometimes. Jiang Wanmeng said confidently.
Seeing Jiang Wanmeng's appearance, Sun Yansheng's mouth squirmed a few times, wanting to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words back into his stomach, at this time, it was a good thing that Jiang Wanmeng could have such confidence, why should he hit him again.
However, to be honest, he is really not as optimistic as Jiang Wanmeng, although their speculation does have some truth, and the cost of Qingtian's products must be much higher than theirs.
Once there is a lack of competitiveness, it is also a very troublesome thing for products to be piled up in the warehouse, and even for any enterprise, it is an extremely fatal thing.
But just in case, he said just in case.
What if DynaSky can really sell these 3 million VCDs?
At that time, DynaSky will form a huge brand barrier, everyone only recognizes DynaSky's VCD, and thinks that DynaSky's VCD is genuine and the best, and the others are counterfeit products, copycats, and new products are easy to sell at a high price and get a lot of profits when no one comes to compete.
This is the advantage of being a pioneer, if being a pioneer is only disadvantageous, there is no benefit, then fools will engage in scientific and technological inventions, scientific and technological innovation, then there will be no possibility of progress in human society.
But he couldn't say these words to Jiang Wanmeng, after all, if he said it, it would be useless except to hit Jiang Wanmang's morale.
And seriously, with Fang Chen's three million orders here, he has already made money, not only earning the research and development expenses of the MPEG1 monolithic video decompression chip, but also making a small surplus.
And it can be expected that as more and more products that need to apply video compression and decoding are developed, the MPEG1 monolithic video decompression chip developed and produced by him will have a bright future.
Therefore, this money is tossed by Jiang Wanmeng no matter how he wants.
After all, his purpose of investing in Jiang Wanmeng has actually been realized by Qingtian.
"The key is that the funds are insufficient, and it would be nice if we could get the state's technical transformation project funds. Jiang Wanmeng said with some unwillingness.
The funds for the national technological transformation project refer to the special issuance of additional financial bonds by the government hall in order to support the technological transformation of key industries, key enterprises and key products, promote the technological progress of enterprises, adjust the product structure, improve product quality, develop import substitution products, increase effective supply, expand domestic demand, and promote the sustained and stable development of the national economy.
In order to obtain funds for the national technological transformation project, during the Spring Festival in 1993, when he introduced the VCD technology to Huaxia, he invited experts from the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, the Ministry of Electronics, the State Press and Publication Administration, and record companies to evaluate and demonstrate the technology.
In addition, he also sent them a questionnaire, one of which was: Do you think this technology is necessary to be developed as an industry in China?
Most of them barely took a stand.
However, Jianghuai Province is more supportive of them, and has also sent a vice province as the leader of their VCD project team to support them in striving for technological transformation projects from the state.
But because their enterprise is a joint venture, and the joint venture party in Huaxia is still a private enterprise, this technical transformation project has not been approved.
