Chapter 0289 Video Standards Battle

There are also many kinds of face projects, take this baseball game as an example, the two sides have a tacit understanding, friendship is just a good way to play, let everyone enjoy the wonderful process, and there is no need to deliberately pursue the result.

There were many celebrities in the audience, and Tang Huan was specially arranged to sit next to Mr. Xiao Jiang, and the other party was very interested, chatting a few words from time to time, which had a sense of exchanging words and becoming the focus of the media from time to time.

Tang Huan understands that he is inevitably still used by public opinion, but he doesn't care very much, I can watch baseball games like you in the first half of the year, and I can also go to the mainland to watch the NBA in the second half of the year.

Moreover, compared to the disturbances that may be caused, the respect of those in power on Treasure Island is more valuable.

"Mr. Tang, how much time do you think it will take for the development of high-tech industries on the treasure island to reach the current level in Japan?" Mr. Jiang's consultation showed his recognition of Tang Huan's identity as an expert.

"Even if Takushima reaches Japan's current level, it is meaningless to have a goal that Japan has already reached a higher stage of development at that time, and the pattern of industrial interest distribution in the entire world market will not change. Tang Huan smiled faintly and replied bluntly.

"What the high-tech industry in Baodao currently needs is not a large and comprehensive, let alone the so-called premise of technology digestion, but to quickly grasp the key points, to lead from point to area, and reach world-class standards in a certain field. Semiconductor manufacturing, for example, is a good cornerstone. Speaking of this, Tang Huan looked into the distance, "I'm there in Singapore." This is also the opinion. ”

Mr. Jiang nodded. "This field. We're already doing it. ”

But progress is still slow, and the PC market is already on the rise, and it will gradually spread to middle-class households in developed regions such as North America and Western Europe, just like televisions. Tang Huan looked at Mr. Jiang and made a powerful gesture, "So, now the introduction of technology is even a little bit of a loss in price." But it is also necessary to win the advantage of time. ”

"It's very risky to be overly dependent on one industry. Mr. Jiang laughed.

"But this industry is a sunrise industry, the prospect is unlimited, as long as it occupies the first-mover advantage, at least for a few decades, the economic performance of the treasure island is eye-catching enough. Seeing that Mr. Xiao Jiang's attitude was reserved, Tang Huan planned to stop the topic directly, so as not to waste saliva.

"Decades? Mr. Tang is looking far ahead. Mr. Xiao Jiang changed his words and sighed meaningfully.

Tang Huan thought for a moment and said slowly: "I do have a feeling. History is a circle that repeats itself, tossing and turning. In the end, everyone has to be pragmatic to survive. Now the situation is different, as long as Baodao can develop into the world's largest production base of high-tech products, not an inconsequential passer-by, it does not need to be so unfounded. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "Vulgar opinions, just talk about it." ”

"You have a point. Mr. Jiang thoughtfully, "Take a person as an example, if you master a unique craft, it is relatively easy to do without worrying about food and clothing." ”

Tang Huan didn't continue to pick up this conversation, people's hearts are separated from each other, they don't know how to do things, and some topics can only be stopped in moderation.

"By the way, I heard that your entertainment company DreamWorks in Xiangjiang has absorbed a lot of talents from the treasure island. Mr. Jiang, who was still talking, quipped, "Hu Yinmeng was brought over by you from Baodao, and her father still has a position." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Huan sweated for a moment, it seems that no matter how he is in a high position, people also need gossip to spice up their life.

"It is undeniable that the talents of Baodao have an advantage in connecting with the world. Tang Huan bowed slightly, "Not only DreamWorks, but my Hollywood company has also set up a joint venture in Xiangjiang, and is also absorbing Chinese talents, including Baodao, and is committed to producing competitive entertainment content and promoting it to the United States." ”

"Baodao has always attached great importance to investment in education. Mr. Jiang looked proud, "I forgot that among Mr. Tang's many identities, there is also a Hollywood boss." ”

Mr. Xiao Jiang turned his gaze to Mr. Song, "With Mr. Tang's convenience in Hollywood, the guests for the Golden Horse Awards will definitely be more colorful in the future." ”

"That's true. Mr. Song nodded again and again.

Watching the two of them sing and play the double reed in harmony, Tang Huan muttered in his heart, this is obviously a forced apportionment of the cold man.

However, there must be a future, you must know that according to the historical trajectory of development, in the next ten years, Baodao's consumption proportion in the Chinese entertainment industry is very significant.

"Within the scope of ability, naturally a small thing. Tang Huan smiled generously, and then scavenged for the benefits from Mr. Jiang.

Among the various intrigues, the time of a ball game naturally seems very short.

The minor league team brought by Tang Huan won by a narrow margin, and the scene was also very good, and this result can be called a great joy.

When Miss Jiang's son-in-law, Yu, came to say hello with baseball equipment, Mr. Jiang was slightly stunned, and then laughed loudly, his face full of joy.

Tang Huan glanced at Mr. Song, and said in his heart that this arrangement from the other party's instructions was really what he liked, and he didn't know what kind of catalytic effect the family card would have.

……

After completing the official article, Tang Huan's next work content quickly turned from virtual to real, such as inspecting the related industry partners of Fangyuan Computer and Xiaobawang game machine.

Acer has been authorized by a generation of Fangyuan computers, and finally has a stable product that can be taken out.

For the purpose of unifying the software platform, Tang Huan is ready to give up the market of the first-generation Fangyuan computer to the local enterprises in Baodao, so that they can store sales, and after the user demand is further stimulated, it will have to be transferred to the platform of the second-generation Fangyuan computer to meet business needs.

In other words, although there is still a long time in the life cycle of the first generation of Fangyuan computers, its status is becoming more and more for beginners and hands-on use. And take this to get a preliminary understanding of Zheru's software family.

Acer gets this benefit. Naturally, it was a great delight. But they don't know that their subordinate position has become more and more difficult to change since then.

UMC finally developed an Intel8086 compatible CPU product, and also received an order for the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

But Tang Huan handed a report to General Manager Cao Xingcheng and said bluntly: "It is also a compatible product of the second supplier, but in terms of execution efficiency and energy consumption, AMD can achieve 20% optimization, but you can't even reach half of the level of others." Man. There's still a long way to go. ”

Compared with previous inspections, Tang Huan's attitude this time was much more serious.

Under the guidance of Tang Huan, the high-tech industry of Baodao has achieved remarkable results in the initial stage, and has also received various official praise and sought after by the media.

Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to these phenomena, but the huge pressure from the American market, he naturally had to pass them on to the downstream and knock on the people in front of him. Don't just drink the soup with you, you have to do a nice job. Otherwise, let alone entering the American market, even Japan will come over to squeeze the living space.

And UMC, which was still immersed in the joy of success, could only obediently bear it after being poured cold water by Tang Huan, after all, the gap was clearly there.

However, UMC cannot be said to be without grievances, you must know that AMD has been in the field of producing compatible products for many years and has been quite profound.

In every chip, including the CPU, there are a large number of circuit gates, which can theoretically be expressed in Boolean mathematical logic.

As a compatible vendor that stands on the shoulders of its predecessors to make improvements, the optimizations include streamlining the circuit gates.

UMC is like a first-year junior high school student, and can only do simple problems such as a*c+b*c=(a+b)*c, while AMD is like a top student in the upper class, and even the difficult problems of the Olympiad are not a problem.

Under the premise that there is such an obvious gap between the two sides, it is already good to be able to make the correct answer to the question, so UMC, which has not received much praise from Tang Huan, is still quite wronged.

In the production of peripheral equipment such as display parts, host power supplies, etc., the Guo brothers' Hon Hai performed very eye-catching, Tang Huan nodded secretly, and there is indeed the potential of a large foundry factory.

In short, in this inspection, Tang Huan basically knocked out all the industrial partners gathered around him, so that they could share the huge competitive pressure from the external market, so as to further enhance the centripetal force.

However, when it came time to give a speech at the university, Tang Huan immediately put on a smiling face that made people feel like a spring breeze, and exchanged experiences and experiences with the students.

In terms of university education, Baodao has cultivated a group of science and engineering talents with solid foundations.

Originally, this group of Chinese in Silicon Valley became a small technical backbone, although not as famous as Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan, but also remarkable.

Tang Huan is talking and laughing, and he is also looking for someone who is a little famous in his impression.

The welcome of Tang Huan by the students on campus, in addition to the admiration of his success, does not exclude the factor of interest.

Because Boss Tang has really launched a plan to subsidize further study in the United States, and not only people with excellent academic performance are expected to get this place, but also people with special skills in sports, art, etc., are also within the scope of inspection.

……

At night, Weng Jingjing, who had been doing stealth and fart, asked with a smile: "Can a big man be a good actor?" For example, these days, I have found that your image changes very frequently, and it is seamless. ”

"Are you sarcastic about me?" Tang Huan smiled and patted Weng Jingjing's little buttocks, compared to Guan Zhilin's cuteness of the little straw bag, the little witch in front of her was also very pleasing.

"How so. I just think you're so good at whatever you do. Weng Jingjing couldn't wait to send a fragrant kiss.

"I asked people to take you to play, why don't you go?" Tang Huan sniffed the faint body fragrance with his nose, touched his soft waist with his hand, and asked comfortably.

"It's boring, it's fun to stay with you. Weng Jingjing replied without thinking.

Facing the girl's clear admiring gaze, Tang Huan's conquest ** began to flood, turned over and pressed it underneath, and laughed in a low voice: "My little brother." I want to hear your cries again. ”

……

A trip to the Treasure Island. It's a joy for all. swept away the haze caused by Deng Lijun's performance before.

Seeing that the matter was almost handled, Tang Huan hurriedly set off for Japan, in addition to inspecting as usual, mainly to search for some good things.

MGM, a money-losing product, was taken over by Tang Huan, and due to the long-term accumulation of shortcomings, it will be difficult to rectify the results for a while.

After seeing MGM's badness with his own eyes, Tang Huan even began to doubt it. Is Cork Kirkrian, like the original plane, pretending to wait for the other party to be unable to stand up, and then buy MGM back and toss around?

Although with the financial support of the Kuwaiti royal family, MGM can slowly adjust to MGM, but this does not show Tang Huan's unique ability, and it will make those partners who plan to test their abilities through this matter have no more than such thoughts.

There is no doubt that the sooner the results are released, the more beneficial it will be for Tang Huan.

So, Tang Huan turned his brain to MGM's huge video library.

In the original time and space. Ted Turner bought MGM for just that. It intends to enrich the Turner broadcasts with its film library.

In a region like North America, which has a mature business environment, the awareness of copyright protection has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Of course, in the specific operation process, it also depends on whether the stakeholders can afford the cost of protection in terms of money, time, etc.

But in the TV station, which is already an old qualification, everyone is still very well-behaved.

MGM can engage and negotiate licensing in this area, but everyone is a shrewd businessman and may not be willing to invest too much money in such a shady business.

Ted Turner also spent so much money because he had his own television network.

Tang Huan is interested in learning from Ted Turner, but he only has two independent TV stations in Xiangjiang and Auckland, and he is temporarily unable to invest further in this field.

In view of this, Tang Huan turned his attention to a wider range of mass consumer markets, which is where real money comes out.

In 1983, VideocassetteRecorder, a video recorder or VCR, had become a common consumer product in American households, and the various economic benefits brought by it were considerable.

Its entrenched position in the U.S. market could not be shaken by the VCD that was all the rage in the 1990s, and it was not until the DVD era that it began to loosen, and then entered the era of high-definition video.

From video recorders, VCDs, DVDs to Blu-rays, no matter what kind of product, there are three logical elements, that is, players, content carriers, and storage formats.

Players – whether it's actual appliances or software in computers, content carriers – whether it's videotapes, CDs or hard disk files, users can have a clear look and feel.

By contrast, the format protocol that determines how content is stored is clearly a passerby's role.

And the competition for video standards among various manufacturers,It has always been a sword and a sword,The winners, princes, and losers are not enough to describe this kind of tragedy,It's completely a winner-takes-all,The losing side is bloodless。

After DVD dominated the world without shock, the HD era is a battle between Blu-rayDisc - Blu-ray and HighDefinitionDVD - HDDVD.

Blu-ray is the Blu-rayDiscAssociation formed by Sony, Panasonic and other companies, and HDDVD is the HDDVDPromotionGroup formed by Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo Electric and other companies.

There are many similarities between the two in terms of technology, and the obvious difference is that Blu-ray Disc has a single-sided single-layer capacity of 25GB and a single-sided double-layer capacity of 50GB, while HDDVD has a single-sided single-layer capacity of 15GB and a single-sided double-layer capacity of 30GB.

Therefore, who can win the two criteria mainly depends on which side of the supporters give the best.

Sony, which is in the Blu-ray camp, is directly assisted by its own game console PlayStation3 and Hollywood's Columbia.

The HDDVD camp is supported by Microsoft's home game console, Xbox 360, and Hollywood's Universal has also joined in.

Of course, there is no shortage of two-sided bets, such as HP, Paramount, and so on.

This standard war, which burns money all the time, began in 2002 and ended in 2008 when Toshiba announced its decision to discontinue the development of HDDVD players and recorders, stop producing HDDVD players for PCs and games, and end its HDDVD business.

Regardless of the fact that the two standard camps with Japanese companies as the protagonists are fighting to the death and excitingly, the irony is that it is not entirely on their own that really determines their fate, but American companies such as Hollywood and even the seemingly unrelated retail giant Wal-Mart.

At the same time, it is said that the erotic film industry, which favors the large-capacity storage capacity of Blu-ray, has also played a decisive role, but this factor, like the development of broadband Internet demand, cannot be discussed on the bright side.

Sony, which completely won the battle for high-definition video standards, in the 1980s, which went back more than 20 years, fell into the battle for video recorder standards.

And Tang Huan went to Japan this time, so he naturally knew which standard to choose to make a sure profit. (To be continued......)
