Henry's price for each Aiduo VCD player is 3,999 yuan, and the cost of the whole machine is less than 1,000 yuan, and the profit is super high. However, the price of the decoder chip sold by Williams Electronics to Wanyan VCD is very expensive, asking for 1,600 yuan! In fact, the manufacturing cost of a decoding chip is less than 400 yuan, and the manufacturing cost will be reduced a lot when the production scale rises and the price of materials drops!

Wanyan VCD company can't develop its own decoding chip, so there is no way, they can only buy it head-on, if you add other manufacturing costs and various expenses, the cost of Wanyan VCD player will be about two or three thousand yuan. According to the information obtained by Henry, the price of Wanyan VCD player is 4200 yuan!

At present, Wanyan VCD Company, as in the previous life, has purchased the copyrights of more than a dozen audio-visual products companies for the sake of the film source. A genuine VCD costs 40-50 RMB, while a pirated CD made by Henry costs only 10 RMB.

There is no doubt that Wanyan VCD Company will spend money to buy copyrights, and it must be in vain!

This is a must-win battle for bad money to drive out good money!

No suspense!

The small workshops that Harrison bought were disbanded after the production of the first batch of VCD pirated discs, so as not to make their reputation stink in the future, and thought to himself, let's just do a good job of "throwing bricks and leading jade", and leave the rest to the majority of copycat manufacturers......

……

At the beginning of September, the commercial film of Aido VCD appeared on major TV stations.

"Love more VCD, good kung fu !!"

Jackie Chan is very well-known in Chinese mainland, has many fans, and after watching the advertisement, the acceptance is relatively high!

Other than that. In order to let the Chinese public understand what a VCD player is, the length of this commercial is 30 seconds. Such a long time must be enough to let everyone know what the VCD player is used for. Of course, the advertising film is so long, and the advertising fee must cost a lot of money.

But. The wool comes out of the sheep, and sooner or later it will be earned!

In fact, as soon as Aido VCD was released, many companies around the world were shocked.

Philips, Sony and other companies were very surprised, thinking, it turns out that VCD technology can still be used in this way...... They produced VCD technical standards, but only used them on computers, while Aiduo VCD used it for televisions.

Chinese companies are even more interested in VCD players!

At this time, LD discs were sold for a few hundred yuan. As for the genuine VCD disc, it only costs a few dozen dollars, while the VCD pirated disc is even cheaper...... Undoubtedly, this kind of VCD player has a very large market prospect!

"I bought it back and demolished it, let's copy it !!"

At this time, the bosses of countless companies said in their hearts.

As a result, the 5,000 VCD players sold by Aido VCD Company were sold out not long after.

There are also some savvy businessmen who see the VCD disc opportunity.

I thought, since VCD players are so popular, shouldn't VCD discs also follow the fire?

"Huh. The big boss eats meat, and we small businessmen drink some soup. ”

VCD pirated discs are very easy to do. Ask a technician to help you rebuild the original production line for videotapes or LD discs in minutes, and you can use it to produce VCD pirated discs in no time.

In Shenzhen, dozens of small workshops and factories have been transformed overnight and become producers of VCD pirated discs!

This is simply like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms.

It didn't take long. The market is flooded with a large number of VCD pirated discs.

Aiduo VCD has established a production plant in Shenzhen, with a monthly production capacity of 20,000 machines, which is simply in short supply. First, the source of the film is sufficient, and second, the advertising is strong. This is completely different from the Wanyan VCD in the previous life. In the previous life, Wanyan VCD Company only sold the first batch of VCD players at the beginning, and most of them were bought and dismantled by other companies. Analyze the structure of the machine and prepare for the cottage. After that, Wanyan VCD player could not be sold. The main reasons for this are the above two points, film source and advertising. What is ironic is that although Wan Yan also advertised, most people didn't know Wan Yan's name......

At present, the development of Aido VCD is on the right track, and Henry no longer pays special attention. In the final analysis, VCD is only a temporary profiteering, and after a few years, as soon as the DVD comes out, VCD will be a thing of the past. At that time, Henry planned to sell the Idol VCD company, regardless of whether it would eventually go bankrupt!

Henry wasn't going to make a DVD player anymore, it didn't make much sense. He's a man of pursuit, and of course he's going to be the one who sets the standard for DVDs!

Compared to VCD, the gaming industry is much more profitable and influential.

Atari's 64-bit game console Jaguar is now in the final stages of product testing, and is expected to be in mass production in early November 1993, and released to the market by the end of December, almost two months, enough to produce millions of consoles, and if sales are hot, more production lines will be set up immediately.

And at this time, the war without gunpowder has begun.

The Atari company was acquired by Henry and must be developing a new console, which everyone knows. And Sony is working hard to win over third-party game manufacturers, and it goes without saying what he wants to do.

This is already Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!

And Apple, a well-known personal computer manufacturer in the United States, has also been involved, which is even more chaotic.

The heroes are chasing the deer, and the mountain rain is coming!

Nintendo has faintly felt that the black clouds are pressing down on the city......

Here, in addition to Nintendo and Sega, the third game manufacturer that has attracted the most is Sony. Sony can be said to have been planning for a long time, in fact, Sony secretly controls many game companies. In addition, Sony's strength and influence in Japan have made many game companies trust it.

And industry insiders know that many of the core parts of Nintendo's game consoles are provided by Sony. Technically, Sony can beat Nintendo! They believe that Sony's PlayStation will be a very good game console!

And Atari may have a bad reputation, and many companies dare not trust it, so that it has become the company with the least support from third-party game manufacturers in the battle between the four giants of Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Atari!

Although Henry has proposed a lot of preferential policies for third-party game manufacturers, it is still the same, which is a bit embarrassing!

The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Atari has been failing, and it is true that people have no confidence in it.

At this time, Henry had Atari develop the electronic pet complete.

"Immediately release the Atari electronic pet, let them know, what is popular all over the world!!" Henry is a little unhappy with the third-party game manufacturer, he doesn't even use his own name, and the third-party game company that invests in his side is at the bottom!

"Yes!!" Atari's new CEO, Rich Howard, excitedly responded.

Rich Howard was a former product manager at Atari and was favored by Henry as the company's CEO.
