Volume IV Section 42 Ambitious

Sha Zhengyang's heart lit up, there is a door.

"A Duan, before I did a more detailed investigation of the VCD player industry through various channels, Wanyan company did not apply for a manufacturing patent for the VCD DVD player, in fact, my analysis is mainly that Wanyan may consider the movement and MPEG decoding chip and these two are the core technology of the DVD player, Wanyan is actually in the integration, that is, a solution has some breakthroughs, but can it be recognized as a patent, plus the domestic climate, so Wanyan gave up. ”

"It should be. Duan Yongming is also very interested in the VCD player industry, and he has also thought about it for a while, so he naturally understands the mystery of it.

"But if it's me, even if it's integration, I should strive to get a patent, and once I get a patent, this may become a basis for cross-licensing patents with other companies in the future. ”

"Maybe it's at different times and in different environments, and you think differently. Sha Zhengyang also felt a little pity, but some things were not clear, "Now I estimate that Japanese companies basically have this manufacturing capacity, the key is that the market is not mature now, lack of supporting software content, Wanyan is still increasing investment, but it costs too much on its own, and it is difficult to change the mentality of the Chinese people, often tens of hundreds of yuan a CD, few people can afford it, so this market still needs time." ”

Noticing the flickering gaze in Sha Zhengyang's eyes, Duan Yongming took a deep breath, "You mean pirated discs......"

"Yes, unless pirated discs come out on a large scale and the price of discs is lowered, VCD disc players will not be able to sell. Sha Zhengyang said indifferently.

Nanyue has always been a pioneer in piracy, from tapes, videotapes to CDs, it is a gathering place, Duan Yongming, who has lived here for a long time, naturally knows that Sha Zhengyang's words also made his heart move slightly.

"You mean that pirated discs will come out soon?" Duan Yongming muttered.

"Not only will it come out, but it will flock on a large scale, how high the price of genuine CDs is now, you and I both know that Guangzhou is 90 to 100 yuan a pair, Yanjing is sold to 160 to 180 yuan a pair, and the blank disc costs 15 yuan a piece, and the cost of pirated CDs will not exceed 18 yuan each, you say this kind of huge profits, I am afraid that it will come faster than smuggling, who can bear it?"

Sha Zhengyang said very easily.

Duan Yongming couldn't help but admire this guy's vision, he had already seen this.

"I don't know if there's any movement here?" Duan Yongming asked very casually.

"As far as I know, some people have begun to move, some are importing pressure plate equipment and production lines, and some are preparing to turn the original LD black line, which is adjacent to Hong Kong and rich in content, just need to be combined, and it will form a huge torrent to the whole country. Sha Zhengyang sighed softly, "Wan Yan spent a lot of money to buy copyrights like those audio-visual publishing houses to make an upfront investment, purely throwing money into the water, but as a pioneer, it can't help but do this step, so ......"

"You're not optimistic about Wan Yan?" Duan Yongming asked calmly.

"Born at the wrong time, what can I do?" Sha Zhengyang shrugged, "It's just that it's cheaper than the latecomer." ”

Duan Yongming was silent.

"Duan, when you come to Wanzhou, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government will fully support you, and will also give you controlling rights and overall management, and even include loans and other aspects of support, believe me, coming to Wanzhou here will be where you can make great progress." Sha Zhengyang said sincerely.

Duan Yongming thought for a while before saying: "Zhengyang, I think you have thought about this plan very thoroughly, why do you have to choose me? You can do it yourself! And I also understand that Dongfanghong Group was made by you, and you are an expert in running a business, no worse than me." ”

"Ah Duan, I don't lie in front of you, I have no intention of running a business, otherwise I wouldn't have left Dongfanghong, in addition, in the electronics industry, the environment is different now, you have the ability and vision, and there is a team, this is the most important thing, time is not waiting, I can't wait. Sha Zhengyang said calmly.

Duan Yongming pursed his lips, "Let me think about it, okay?"

"Also, Ah Duan, you may have noticed that the VCD player industry will bring a huge market, but the key technology is in the hands of foreigners, the movement is in the hands of Philips, and the MPEG decoding chip is controlled by Scooper, but I personally think that the MPEG decoding chip is not mature enough, and it can make a breakthrough in this research and development, Wanzhou Radio Factory has a certain technology, if we can find a way to tap some talents, we can not make a breakthrough in this decoding chip technology, and control it in our own hands。 ”

Sha Zhengyang's tone was very affirmative, which made Duan Yongming very surprised.

Although he doesn't know much about this MPEG decoding chip technology, he also knows that since Scober is in his hands, he may not be able to develop it so easily.

Seeing that Duan Yongming was a little puzzled, Sha Zhengyang said again: "I don't know if you know Lenovo?"

"Yes. "Such a leading computer company in China, how could Duan Yongming not know, not to mention that the Bawang learning machine is more or less related to the computer, and it is impossible for him, as the CEO of Bawang Electronics, to be unclear about some changes in the industry.

"If I say that Lenovo may face a split, and their technical team is now the Lianhai Microelectronics Center, which is now beginning to take shape, what do we hope will take it down? Do you think it's worth it?" Sha Zhengyang's eyes flashed with a mixture of ambition and adventure.

This can be regarded as a heart-to-heart attack, of course, this is also the premise that he feels that it is very likely to impress Duan Yongming.

"Ah?!" Duan Yongming was taken aback, he hadn't heard of Lianhai Microelectronics Center, and he had heard of the internal disputes in Lenovo, but it seemed to be an exaggeration to say that it had developed into a split situation, but Sha Zhengyang dared to say so, but he was afraid that he was not lying to himself, it was not necessary.

"Zhengyang, where did you say that Lenovo is facing a split?" Duan Yongming couldn't help but ask.

"Ah Duan, where does the news come from, I have my own channels, I am also the founder of Dongfanghong Group, I also have some connections in the business world, and I also have some friends in Beijing, so I can get these news. Sha Zhengyang could only flicker at this time.

"Lenovo has a disagreement on the development path, the dominant side hopes to focus on the development of computers, through the import of foreign chips to produce computers, to create a large computer company, while the other party hopes to be able to be independent in chip research and development, in addition to further research and development of large-scale program-controlled switches, there are huge differences in the development focus, it is estimated that it is difficult to bridge. ”

Duan Yongming saw that the other party said so much in detail, and he already believed most of it in his heart.

The problem is that it is not easy for a microelectronics R&D center to be taken down, and it is not just a matter of throwing some money at random.

To put it mildly, you are willing to throw money at others, and it depends on whether others look down on you.

In Duan Yongming's view, Wanzhou Radio Factory is a turtle, and even the survival crisis has not yet had time to be solved, and it actually wants to marry the turtle of Lianhai Microelectronics Center.

"Zhengyang, even if what you said is true, do you think Wanzhou Radio Factory can win the Lianhai Microelectronics Center?" Duan Yongming hesitated, "You should know that Wanzhou Radio Factory is a manufacturing enterprise, even if it has established the VCD player industry, but when it comes to developing decoding chips, it seems that there is still a little far away." ”

"Duan, I know your worries, but this is a later story, for now, although there is a split trend within Lenovo, but it has not yet reached that point, I think if you can take over the Wanzhou Radio Factory, do it first, and we will have the opportunity to study and discuss this matter in the future." "Sha Zhengyang is colorful.

"MPEG decoding chips are not as difficult as we imagined in terms of technical content, and if we overcome this difficulty, we can produce MPEG decoding chips ourselves, with the outbreak of the VCD disc player market, we can continue to supply our own use, and can be sold to other peers, to earn huge profits. ”

Duan Yongming actually realized this.

Sha Zhengyang is obviously not satisfied with a simple VCD player, he wants to control the production of the core components of the DVD player, and then earn higher profits.

The movement may be more difficult, but he believes that the MPEG decoding chip is a breakthrough, and even does not hesitate to win the Lianhai Microelectronics Center and concentrate all parties to overcome this technical difficulty.

This also shows from another angle how optimistic the other party is about the future of the VCD player market.

"Your vision is good, but it's hard to say whether it can be put into practice. Duan Yongming paused, "I basically understand your thoughts, but for such a big matter, I still need to think about it, when do you plan to leave Zhongshan?"

"It's up to you, if you can give me an answer in a day or two, then I can stay, if not, then I'll have to go back first. Sha Zhengyang looked at each other.

Duan Yongming thought for a moment, "Okay, let's do it, within two days, I will give you an accurate answer, but Zhengyang rest assured, even if I don't accept your invitation, I will keep it a secret." Also, even if I consider accepting the invitation, I'm afraid there are still a lot of details to work out, and in the process, I may change my mind. ”

"I understand that this is a big deal, and I can't be too cautious. Sha Zhengyang smiled understandingly, "Speaking from the heart, I'm really looking forward to working with you Duan, although I'm not in charge of business operations, but I believe that there will be no less time for us to deal with each other in the future." ”

"I'm looking forward to it too, but it depends. Duan Yongming stood up and shook hands with Sha Zhengyang to say goodbye.
