"A kind of 'digital compression' technology has entered China's Xiangjiang, and the player produced from it is called VCD, which is used to watch pirated discs that are more than 100 times better than the popular LD now, and the price is much cheaper, and this thing will definitely sell like crazy when it comes out. ”

This sentence is not Zhang Yunqi's original.

But it was these few words that changed Hu Zhibiao's life.

In his previous life, Hu Zhibiao said this sentence by hearsay in a corner of a broken restaurant, which was groundless and credible, but he did not hesitate to go to Xiangjiang to buy chips and start the road of developing VCD, and today, he was sent to the most luxurious hotel in Xiangshan City by a luxury car worth more than 200,000 yuan, sitting in a luxury box overlooking the entire Qijiang River and Sunxi Cultural Tourism Pedestrian Street, listening to a teenager who is younger than him but seems to have a lot of money, on the potential of the future VCD industry, with professional, rational, Speak in an objective tone.

After leaving the Xiangshan International Hotel, Hu Zhibiao felt a little dizzy under the scorching sun, he rummaged through the money in his pocket, two yuan and four cents, enough to go home, so he stopped a taxi, perhaps too excited, on the way home, Hu Zhibiao felt like he was dreaming, and his left hand couldn't help but shake slightly.

At this time, he had already thrown the idea of opening a factory to engage in pirated game consoles out of the clouds, and he didn't quite remember the taste of the seafood dinner that Zhang Yunqi invited him to eat, what resounded in his mind was what Zhang Yunqi said to him at the end: "Give you two days to confirm, you don't need to consider the funds, you only need to be responsible for research and development, I will pay, if you are willing to give it a try, two days later, come here to find me, and go to Xiangjiang together." ”

Different from Duan Yongping, the young and introverted little overlord at the helm, Hu Zhibiao is a very bold person, pure, high-profile, crazy, this distinctive character gene runs through his entire entrepreneurial history, under his leadership, Aiduo from the rise to the fall of the 4 years, not so much an enterprise, but a high-profile and arrogant "combat commando", it rushed out of South China, all the way to gather heroes, conquer the city, a bang for the world to know, the princes of all directions are silent.

Such a young talent from a difficult background but with high ambitions will not miss any opportunity to turn over and establish his life. Although Hu Zhibiao didn't know what Zhang Yunqi, the big boss from Xiangnan, liked about him, and he didn't know how Zhang Yunqi knew about him, an unknown electrical repairman, he knew that he was just an unknown electrical repairman and had nothing, so he didn't need to be afraid of anything.

When the taxi approached his home, Hu Zhibiao had already figured it out.

He asked the driver to turn around and go to the Xiangshan International Hotel.

After the taxi arrived at the door of the Xiangshan International Hotel, the driver turned to Hu Zhibiao and said, "When you get to the boss, the fare is three yuan and eight cents." ”

It was only at this time that the excited Hu Zhibiao remembered that the two yuan and four cents in his pocket were only enough for him to go home once, not enough for him to sit back and forth, but now it seemed too late to think about this, he took out the two yuan and four cents in his pocket and handed them to the taxi driver, the face that was still young and loved face was inevitably a little embarrassed: "Master, I forgot to bring money when I went out today, this is all in my pocket, or you wait for me, I will come back immediately, wait for you to drive me home, I will settle the rest of the money for you." ”

The driver took the money, then glanced at Hu Zhibiao's work clothes, and couldn't hold back his muttering: "Do you still need a taxi to repair the toilet at Xiangshan International Hotel?"

Hu Zhibiao's face turned red all of a sudden.

He snatched two dollars and four cents and said, "You wait for me!"

Before the driver could react, Hu Zhibiao had already pushed the car door, rushed into the Xiangshan International Hotel, and followed the original road that Wang Guibing had taken him to the luxurious box of the western restaurant on the fourth floor.

Zhang Yunqi and Wang Guibing haven't left yet, they are sitting on the sofa chatting, Hu Zhibiao went and returned, Zhang Yunqi was quite surprised, and asked, "Do you still have something?"

Hu Zhibiao, who was sweating profusely, said: "Mr. Zhang, can you please borrow me a hundred yuan first?"

Zhang Yunqi was a little inexplicable, but he didn't ask, he gestured to Wang Guibing, Wang Guibing took out his wallet and handed it to him with a 100 note.

Hu Zhibiao said thank you and immediately turned to leave.

Wang Guibing looked at his back and asked Zhang Yunqi with a smile: "Boss, is this person reliable?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "It's reliable now, but it's impossible to say whether it's reliable in the future." ”

Wang Guibing didn't understand: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Yunqi did not answer, although it was the first time he met Hu Zhibiao, but Hu Zhibiao's fiery style has confirmed the description of many media reports in later generations, decisive and strong, is a rare marketing genius, but lacks strategic vision and forward-looking, suitable for fighting, and must not be the commander of a large enterprise.

This point is vividly reflected in the history of the fall of Aiduo, it may be difficult to imagine that in the previous life, Aiduo as a company with sales of more than 1 billion yuan, Large enterprises with as many as 3,000 employees, from the first day of its establishment, there has been no medium and long-term strategic planning, until the collapse, and even a realistic two-year plan has not been formulated, you know, Hu Zhibiao has gathered a large number of marketing planning masters, their execution ability can be called first-class, but if the decision itself is blind, then the stronger the execution ability of these masters, the more fierce and fierce the fight in the market, but the greater the harm to the enterprise.

It is worth mentioning that, including Hu Zhi bid Duan Yongping, China's VCD heroes have always been just "assembly heroes" who are happy to play at the front desk, and the core components such as chips and movements are foreigners, in order to extend the life cycle of VCD products, C-Cube and ESS companies have launched upgraded versions of chips, and ESS provides chips by Xinke, Panda, Shanghai Radio and Television, Hualu and other East China factions and C-Cube to provide chips Aiduo, BBK, After several rounds of fierce price wars, the Guangdong faction once again formed a new confrontation, in order to seize the opportunity in the Chinese market, the East China faction proposed to upgrade the name of the product and change it to SVCD, while the Guangdong faction insisted on calling it CVD.

Hu Zhibiao is a keen fan of this name dispute.

He seems to be the leader of the Guangdong faction, through his own powerful marketing planning network to make the whole of China uneasy, and finally the relevant state departments have to mediate, you must know that the East China faction of Xinke, Shanghai Radio and Television are old state-owned enterprises, the background is strong, but the naïve Hu Zhibiao tried to force the relevant state departments to accept the concept of CVD and the industry standards they proposed through the strong reports of the domestic media, and later learned that the country may adopt "super VCD" When he won this compromise name, he took the lead in raising the stern question of "whether the enterprise or the government has the final say on product standards", so much so that a certain bigwig angrily denounced the Guangdong faction for "not knowing the height of the sky".

Comparatively speaking, in this name dispute, Duan Yongping, who belongs to the same camp as Hu Zhibiao, is much more mature and sophisticated, his backgammon did not make any moves, just drank soup behind Aiduo's buttocks, and now looking back, in fact, this dispute has already foreshadowed the fate of the two most famous entrepreneurs in Xiangshan City in the 90s, one was imprisoned, and the other was free on the other side of the ocean with his beautiful wife.

Zhang Yunqi thought about it, and was a little embarrassed, and once again saw the furious Hu Zhibiao running in from the door, the same head was sweating, panting, Zhang Yunqi wanted to get up and get him a bottle of water and have a good chat, then he knew that Hu Zhibiao said to him directly: "Mr. Zhang, when are we going to Xiangjiang?"
