Chapter 345 DVD
The day after Li Zetian returned from SpaceX, Seagate Technology turned on the phone and told him that the DVD had been developed, and three days later, a press conference was held to start the full promotion of the DVD.
βMrΒ· Li, Sony, Columbia Pictures, Hitachi and other companies are also developing DVDs, it seems that we are much ahead of them!" Dongfang Yuqin said to Li Zetian with a smile after getting the news.
"Hehe, of course!" Li Zetian said with a confident smile, "Seagate Technology has been developing DVDs non-stop since the successful development of CDs. β
After a slight pause, Li Zetian pondered: "However, the strength of these alliances of Sony cannot be underestimated. β
Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile: "We are the first to launch the DVD standard, and we have a first-mover advantage! In addition, among the Hollywood movie giants, we occupy two companies! Naturally, it is much easier than the Sony Alliance to promote the DVD standard!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded.
Disney and Twentieth Century Fox are his properties, especially Disney, which has become the largest film and television company in Hollywood, with subsidiaries such as Industrial Light & Magic, Pixar, and Marvel, and holds many super IP copyrights, including "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars" and so on. However, Pixar Studios has not yet gained momentum, so outsiders are unaware of its importance. But for Disney, it's the key to transformation, the future of Disney animation.
"Yuqin, tell Alain Shugart that in three days, we will go to the press conference and promote the DVD!" Li Zetian chuckled.
"Oh, okay!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hehe, if you go to the press conference, then the media reporters will definitely be excited again." β
The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, he seemed to have a headline halo, even a small gesture can become a news headline, let alone attend a press conference. As we all know, he does not easily participate in the press conference, and every time he participates in the press conference, the content of the press conference will be extremely shocking!
There is no doubt that if Seagate Technology's CEO Alan Shugart spreads the news that Li Zetian is going to attend the DVD conference, it will inevitably attract the world's attention.
The study is filled with a refreshing aroma.
Li Zetian was in good spirits, and after Dongfang Yuqin left, he suddenly thought of VCD again.
"In this life, there has not been a VCD, but a DVD has been developed. Li Zetian muttered, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, he was still thinking about developing VCDs and making some money. "The price of DVD players and DVD discs is more expensive than VCD, so there should be some money. It should be difficult for China, Southeast Asian countries, South America, and African countries to popularize DVDs...... Brother can do well, and develop VCDs to improve their quality of life. β
Thinking of this, Li Zetian went out in the afternoon and came to Seagate Technology.
Seagate Technology has even developed CDs and DVDs, so VCDs are no problem.
Alan Shugart frowned, "Mr. Li, of course, it is not difficult to develop VCDs at all, but we have already developed DVDs, so why should we develop VCDs?"
Li Zetian smiled: "It is naturally very easy to promote DVD in developed countries, but it is probably a bit difficult to promote it in developing countries." I ask you, how much does a DVD player cost?"
"$1,000!" replied Alain Shugart, who quickly added, "It's so expensive because of the limited manufacturing process and scale, but the price will come down in the future." β
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "$1,000 is more expensive than many personal computers!"
"The performance of DVD far exceeds that of video recorders, providing ultra-high-definition film and television, allowing users to experience extraordinary audio-visual enjoyment, so it is understandable that the price is a little higher, after all, this is the latest high-tech product. Alain Shugart said.
"Do you think Chinese consumers can afford to spend $1,000?" Li Zetian asked in a light tone.
Alan Shugart frowned, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid I can't afford it." β
Li Zetian said: "Chinese population of more than 1 billion, in addition to South America, Africa also have a huge potential users, Seagate Technology in addition to the promotion of DVD products, D price is low, it is easier to occupy the market, first turn consumers into Seagate Technology users, and when their economic conditions are good, if they want to buy DVD, naturally it is also Seagate Technology products." β
When Alan Shugat heard this, he immediately felt that what Li Zetian said was reasonable.
βMrΒ· Li, you're still thoughtful. β
Li Zetian smiled faintly and asked, "With the strength of Seagate Technology, how long will it take to develop VCD?" β
"It's not difficult, it's about a month. DVD technology is much higher than VCD technology, and we have developed all the difficult things, let alone the simple ones? In fact, when we were studying DVDs, we also studied VCDs......" laughed Alain Shugart.
"Well, we will also get the VCD out as soon as possible, and then promote it in China, Southeast Asia, South America and other places. As for DVDs, they were promoted in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and other places first. β
"Okay!"
After Li Zetian explained the matter, he watched a DVD movie in Seagate Technology, and the picture was high-definition, which was really not comparable to a videotape.
β¦β¦
Soon, three days passed.
Seagate Technology held a press conference at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
In addition to Seagate Technology, powerful Hollywood studios have come, and the box office is only part of the income of the film company, and the videotape is also a lot of income. Of course, the CEO of Netflix under Li Zetian's name is also here, which is the world's largest video rental company!
Just when the press conference was about to start, Li Zetian arrived as scheduled.
For a while, the press conference scene suddenly became noisy.
The reporters frequently took pictures of Li Zetian with cameras.
"This launch event actually brought ChronosΒ· Li has been held, it seems that this press conference is very important!"
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be full of anticipation.
Soon, Alain Shugart walked up to the stage to announce the start of the press conference, followed by the introduction of the DVD.
As the most advanced electronic product at the moment, DVD is very impressive.
Alain Shugart said passionately on stage: "The advent of DVD products will change home movies! Seagate's standard DVD disc has a large storage capacity, with a capacity of 4.7G, which is enough to store a complete movie! In addition, the picture of DVD is more high-definition than any current videotape format, and it can almost be said that the two cannot be compared!!
Alain Shugart came to the end with confidence and arrogance.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned and surprised.
Some of them let out a "boo" sound and seriously questioned the performance of the DVD.
"It's too much of an exaggeration, no matter how good the DVD is, you can't make the videotape worthless, I think Sony's videotape is already very good......"
"That's it, the CEO of Seagate is not ashamed!"
