That night, Xia Yu sorted out all his ideas, and wrote down the methods he had pondered on paper for all-round deduction.

After going to work the next morning, he called Huo Jianning to his office.

"Chairman, good morning!"

Facing Huo Jianning's greeting, Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response, motioning for him to sit down: "Well, sit down and talk!"

"Okay, thank you, Chairman!"

Xia Yu smiled and said: "Jianning, after thinking about it last night, I made a plan for the situation of the CD Walkman, let me tell you, you can see if you have any opinions, just mention it later." ”

"Okay!" Huo Jianning's face suddenly became serious, and he nodded heavily and said, looking at Xia Yu with burning eyes.

Xia Yu said slowly: "Our technical advantages are not big, and Philips and Sony have strong R&D capabilities, and they both have the influence of the entire industrial chain, and it is very risky to let them go outside, so at this stage, Tiangong Electronics can only compromise with them and invite them to establish a new CD disc standard." ”

"My initial plan is to set a new CD standard, and only we, Tiangong Electronics, Sony and Philips, are the three standard setters. ”

"As for the matter of Polygram International Co., Ltd., which you are worried about, I will ask people to buy the company's equity in Europe, and Philips' equity should not be sold, but Siemens' position in the field of Walkman and CD discs is far worse than Philips's, and the equity is relatively easy to acquire, and when the time comes, as long as the acquisition of a total of 30% of the equity held by scattered shareholders, plus the acquisition of a part from Siemens, it is enough to hedge Philips' downstream advantages. ”

"In addition, I will also ask Universal Music Company to acquire or invest in other music companies in Europe and the United States as soon as possible in the next two months, so as to improve music copyright resources as much as possible and avoid dependence on PolyGram International Co., Ltd. ”

"These two operations, I will ask them to complete them by the end of August, and now there are more than 80 days left, which is barely enough. ”

"During this time period, what you have to do is for Dr. Lu Chao to lead the team to continue to research technology, reduce costs as much as possible, and develop a comprehensive marketing plan. ”

"After that's done, you can negotiate with Philips and Sony, make full use of the advantages, and get them together as soon as possible to develop a new CD standard, and make sure to maximize the technical benefits. ”

"After the standards are established, before they have time, we will launch our CD Walkman and CD records as quickly as possible, seize the market ahead of time, and establish our brand and market position. ”

"Got it?"

"Understood!" Huo Jianning replied excitedly.

The chairman of the board of directors is indeed the chairman, yesterday he just put forward the long-standing problem, today the chairman came up with a full set of solutions and plans.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Jianning, do you have any other comments to add?"

Huo Jianning restrained his smile, calmed down and thought carefully for a long time, he still shook his head and said, "Chairman, what you said is very comprehensive, I have nothing to add." ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly, and advised: "That's okay, you have to do this matter well, the potential of CD discs is very large, not only the production of CD records, but also involves data storage and the computer market, you must not be out of the basket, you let Dr. Lu Chao use more heart, continue to lead the team to conduct more in-depth research, as much as possible to accumulate technical heritage." ”

"There is also the expansion of the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory, you don't interfere too much, just lead the allocation and supply of funds, and the specific personnel excavation is done by the people in their professional scientific research system, they must know which people in the world have real skills. ”

"In terms of laboratory management, basically in addition to issuing R&D tasks, do not interfere too much, and give them a good environment to devote themselves to scientific research. ”

Huo Jianning nodded solemnly and said, "Chairman, I will definitely follow your instructions." ”

"Well, if there's nothing to do, you can get busy first!"

"Okay, then chairman, I'll go first!"

After Xia Yu waved his hand, Huo Jianning slowly withdrew from the office.

When Huo Jianning left, Xia Yu made a phone call to Yan Wenhan and ordered him to immediately sort out the information in the global record field and give him a copy, and in the entire consortium, only Jiuding Newspaper Company knew this information best.

It also took some time for Yan Wenhan to sort out the information, so Xia Yu made another call to Global TV and asked Huang Xizhao and Wang Zhang, the president of Universal Music, to come to his office immediately.

About half an hour later, Huang Xizhao and Wang Zhang came together.

"Chairman, good morning!"

After coming in, the two greeted Xia Yu in unison.

Xia Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, bowed his head slightly and motioned for them to sit down: "Sit down and say!"

Xia Yu's gaze swept over Huang Xizhao and Wang Zhang's faces, and looking at the two of them who were in full spirit, he nodded secretly.

Wang Zhang is a professional manager hired by Korn Ferry International, but his quality is very high, and he has been at the helm of Universal Music Company in recent years, and has managed the company in an orderly and strong manner.

Before talking about key things, Xia Yu first asked about the situation of Global TV.

He smiled and asked, "Xizhao, how is the situation at the TV station?"

Huang Xizhao immediately replied: "Chairman, the operation of the TV station has been very good, and now our TV station is a well-known TV station in Asia, and the number of users in the whole of Asia has reached 5.27 million, and there are 320,000 outside Asia, covering a population of more than 20 million people! According to the annual fee of 200 Hong Kong dollars for satellite TV signals per household, the annual fee income will also reach 1 billion Hong Kong dollars this year!"

"In addition to us, TVB has also completed the star, but TVB is not our competitor at all, because our global satellite TV programs have been covered in all directions, TVB's programs are not as perfect as our category, and now TVB's star users are less than 400,000, less than one-tenth of ours, most of which are still local users in Xiangjiang. ”

"In terms of Xiangjiang's viewership share, our Global TV station has a stable share of more than eight layers, and once a hit program is produced, the ratings can reach nine layers ......"

After listening to Huang Xizhao's narration, Xia Yu can fully understand TVB's situation, so to speak, as long as Global TV does not take the initiative to make mistakes, as time passes, TVB's chances of turning over will become more and more slim.

Not to mention anything else, the annual signal fee collected by Global Satellite TV alone is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars a year, which can crush TVB.

Not to mention the fact that Global Satellite TV itself sells programs and sells advertising profits, covering more than 20 million people, and the price of each advertisement is not cheap! It can be said that large companies are all customers of Global Satellite TV, that is, some companies with small strength that cannot afford to buy advertisements from Global Satellite TV will choose TVB.

Therefore, in the absence of a rival in Asia, the key lies in the management and operation of Global Television itself.

Xia Yu's face was slightly serious, and he reminded: "Xizhao, the situation of the TV station is very good now, but you don't have to be proud, aside from the mainland, there are 30 million Chinese in the whole of Asia, and there is still room for development here, if you count English and other language speakers, there are more than one billion people, these are potentially huge markets." ”

"Outside of Asia, Global TV now has 320,000 accounts, and there is still a long way to go, so you must pay attention to the mentality of the company's employees and not be arrogant. ”

Huang Xizhao's heart froze, straightened his waist and nodded heavily: "Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention!"

Xia Yu bowed slightly, looked at Wang Zhang, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Wang Zhang, tell me about the situation of Universal Music Company." ”
