Although the Japanese have always boasted about how efficient they are, Tang Huan's speed of dividing the cooperation documents by two still surprised Akio Morita.

He naturally didn't know that after Tang Huan saw Sony's 3.5-inch floppy disk system, he confirmed that this was the product that finally unified this field in the original time and space, so he didn't plan to make any detours.

In the final analysis, external devices such as hard disks and floppy disks, to a certain extent, belong to traditional mechanical and electrical products, and are very troublesome in design, production, quality control, etc.

Besides, this thing is in the main chassis, whether it is produced by Sony or other manufacturers, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Seeing that the business of the 3.5-inch floppy disk system was going so smoothly, Akio Morita was looking forward to the next Betamax cooperation, and Tang Huan's new surveillance system product plan, as well as the two Hollywood companies he controlled, Luen Mei and MGM, were very attractive.

You know, one of the major applications of home video recorders is to rent movies that are made into videotapes.

However, compared with the previous clean and neat words, Tang Huan's subsequent actions and statements were obviously much more cautious.

It wasn't until the next day, after visiting the video tape business department, that he explained the details of his intention to cooperate.

"I noticed that you are working on a new generation of technology for professional and broadcast applications, Betacam, to replace the original U-Matic format, can I be involved in this project?"

Seeing that Tang Huan's interest suddenly shifted. Akio Morita was slightly stunned. Nodding. "Of course you are welcome."

"I want to be able to share patents and have the right to conduct research and development in new directions on the basis of the original technology." Tang Huan said leisurely.

If Tang Huan wants to take a shortcut in the home video recorder business to make quick money, then he plans to work hard in the professional field.

Naturally derived from Betamax, Betacam takes advantage of the format's high image quality, and it is entirely predictable that it will become the de facto professional standard in the ElectronicNewsGathering industry.

In the original time and space. VHS wins for mass consumption, betacam wins for professional applications, and betacam can also support digital video.

It's just that these traditional manufacturers who have mastered the standard of video tapes have a monopoly that is too dark, TV stations and other users. There was no choice but to be slaughtered, so it was gradually abandoned after the emergence of new digital technology products.

But this is not the fault of technology, it can only be attributed to the original sin of capital.

Now record the videotape of the analog signal. It is not difficult to achieve the purpose of supporting digital video through technical improvements on the original technical standards. At least Tang Huan seems to be so.

And once there is digital audio, then Fangyuan computer has a new use.

"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so interested in Betacam." Akio Morita snorted while thinking about it.

"I have an independent TV station in Hong Kong and Auckland, so when I saw the betacam project, I suddenly felt that the future should be good, and I could make the film history." Tang Huan found a reason to explain it in order to dispel the other party's doubts.

After listening to Akio Morita, he was noncommittal, he was a little undecided, everyone understands that technology monopolizes profits, and sharing patents always has a feeling of cutting meat, but the cards in Tang Huan's hand are good.

"What does Mr. Tang think of Betamax?" Akio Morita finally decided that even if he exchanged, he would look at the other party's chips.

"Sony has been working in the video tape field for many years, and it can be called a deep foundation, and Betamax is good enough." Tang Huan nodded, "I'm willing to take out the film libraries of Luen Mei and MGM to support Betamax, but I hope that Sony's video recorders and video tape products can be OEM, replaced with our trademark, and share the profits." ”

Hearing that Tang Huan was making such an abacus, Akio Morita was sweating, and waved his hand again and again: "This is against Sony's purpose of building a world brand." ”

"What about the two of us forming a joint company to produce video recorders and video cassette products under a new brand?" Tang Huan made a small step back.

Akio Morita continued to shake his head and refuse, "If Mr. Tang is interested, he can buy a patent from us and produce it himself." ”

Tang Huan laughed, and said in his heart that when I build a factory, I may miss out on how many markets.

Goldman Sachs has already talked about the acquisition of RadioShack, such a large sales network, can also be used to sell VCRs and videotapes, and the sooner the finished product is released, the better.

But from Sony's point of view, Akio Morita's choice is understandable, after all, Sony is in an absolute monopoly advantage in this field.

Regarding this result, Tang Huan, who has already found out the truth and reality, can accept it, but it is a pity that Betacam is cheap and does not take advantage of it.

However, words cannot be said to die.

"This time it's a bit of a rush and time is limited, so let's talk about this level first." Tang Huan spread his hands regretfully, "Everyone keeps in touch, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss next time." ”

Seeing Tang Huan get into the car, Norio Ohga whispered to Akio Morita: "President, we have obtained the authorization of the first generation of Fangyuan computer, and the product sales are good, perhaps, we can exchange and get the authorization of the second generation of Fangyuan computer first." ”

Akio Morita shook his head, "But his appetite is too big, the professional field and the mass market want to mix it, we have achieved today's leading edge in video tape technology through so many years of hard work, is it really appropriate?" A company that has only been around for a few years is not worth such concessions. ”

He was about to speak and stopped, and said in his heart what should Tang Huan do if he went to JVS to cooperate, but he immediately thought about it, Sony's Betamax left VHS far behind, so what does it matter if there is one more Tang Huan.

It's just a pity that the other side said, a new generation of computer-controlled monitoring system. I didn't see the true face of Lushan.

……

After getting in the car. Weng Jingjing, who made a cameo retinue, snorted. "I don't know how to lift it, Sony will definitely regret it soon."

Tang Huan smiled dumbly, touched the pink face of the girl who blindly worshiped him, and said leisurely: "You really have a unique eye." ”

It is impossible for Tang Huan to tell Sony, users in the home video recorder market are more concerned about the playback time and program exchange, and the picture quality is not as high as the requirements of the professional field. The mistake of empiricism will be made.

Since you don't want to have equal interests, I'll go to JVC and take a look, and it's likely that you will have to add a big weight to the side of the scale.

……

When the U-Matic standard was introduced in the early 1970s, Panasonic and Sony were partners, but they soon parted ways.

Later, Sony developed the Betamax, which was designed to replace the U-Matic, while Panasonic largely failed with a similar project, videocassetteformat, VX.

In 1974, in order to alleviate the confusion caused by the chaos of competition in the home video tape market, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry tried to unify video standards.

At this time, Sony's Betamax technology maturity is already very high. It's close to the finished product. And Sony persuaded the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to make Betamax the industry standard. Other vendors will need to purchase the license.

Compared to Sony's monopoly, JVC is more open in terms of standards.

Panasonic, which had no prospects for VX development, finally decided to promote the VHS standard of its own subsidiary, JVC.

Of course, there are more manufacturers who are angry with Sony's behavior of eating alone, and as a result, Hitachi, Mitsubishi and other companies have been pulled into the VHS camp by Panasonic.

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) had to abandon its plan to unify industry standards, and Sony's wishful thinking fell through.

It can be said that the confrontation between the two major video standard camps revolves around this distribution of market interests.

……

JVC brought into full play the image of a spoiler who is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and Tang Huan and his party arrived at its headquarters in Yokohama, and all the requirements should be met.

is also a video recorder, why is the gap so big?

After sighing to himself, Tang Huan communicated with the two founders of VHS, Yuma Shiraishi and Shizuo Takano, and found that JVC did not have a corresponding betacam project for the time being.

And it's no wonder, after all, they're now in the stage of catching up with Sony's technology.

It seems that Betacam's idea will have to continue, but before that, it's better to monetize MGM's library through home video recorders as soon as possible.

At that time, Sony will not be able to withstand the pressure of Betamax's decline, and may take the initiative to come to the door to cooperate on the Betacam project.

Since the VHS standard was temporarily selected, Tang Huan immediately asked his subordinates to further finalize the matter, and he was busy taking Weng Jingjing to play in Tokyo.

Since the scope of my activities in Japan this time was in this area, the actual impact on my work was not very large.

……

During this period of time, Weng Jingjing has been by her side, and Tang Huan has witnessed the process of a pure girl becoming a charming little woman.

Just like tonight, Weng Jingjing, who had been trained, once again took the initiative to lie on the man's lap and lick the lollipop with taste, while Tang Huan rested his head on his hands and squinted his eyes to enjoy.

"You shouldn't have fallen asleep?" Weng Jingjing, who had been busy for a while, raised her head and asked.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Little brother, sit up by yourself." ”

Weng Jingjing obediently climbed onto Tang Huan and slowly moved.

"Well, do you feel like you're up to the job of a secretary during this time?" Tang Huan quipped.

"I don't seem to know how to do anything other than serve tea and water." Weng Jingjing replied depressedly.

Tang Huan laughed, pushed it up hard, and reprimanded: "Then I will arrange for you to continue to go to school, and you will be hindered." ”

Weng Jingjing snorted weakly, "People feel that acting is very fun now, and they don't want to go to school." ”

"With your intelligence, you can go to school and take on dramas at the same time. It's not a problem. I can go to university. The time is more self-arranged. Tang Huan rubbed Weng Jingjing's buttocks, and said seductively: "When you are enough, I will transfer you to my side and be a real secretary." ”

Weng Jingjing, whose face was flushed, thought for a moment with her eyes shining, and then nodded, "This future is good, and you can be so intimate in the office when the time comes." ”

"The little witch is quite capable of pretending to be crazy and stupid. It's not okay to punish it well. Tang Huan turned over and pressed Weng Jingjing under him, and with a gentle and coquettish sound, he struck up the wooden stake heavily.

……

The next day, Tang Huan originally wanted to continue to handle official business in the morning and take Weng Jingjing to play in the afternoon according to the plan, but there was a news from the United States, which made him have to terminate this happy life of combining work and rest in advance.

wants to say goodbye to the man who occupies all his body and mind these days, Weng Jingjing, who is reluctant to give up, can't help but have red circles under her eyes.

Tang Huan smiled and kissed the girl. "Little fool, we'll meet in Xiangjiang soon."

"Then I'll wait for you in Xiangjiang." Weng Jingjing is a different girl after all. quickly collected his feelings.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan nodded secretly, the other party has always been able to recognize the general situation, and it is not easy to be at the age of rebellion.

"When you go back, give this to your mother, lest she nag you. Don't lose it, or you'll get someone else cheaper. Tang Huan put a delicate small gift box into the girl's hand.

Weng Jingjing nodded, didn't look at it, and put it in her bag casually.

"There will be someone to pick you up at Xiangjiang Airport, so you don't have to worry about what you bring." Tang Huan comforted Weng Jingjing again, and the two said goodbye.

……

Although Weng Jingjing was precocious in her thinking and made herself look calm on the surface, it was impossible not to be melancholy in her heart.

When the plane landed and re-stepped on the familiar land of Xiangjiang, she returned to normal, and she was the tricky and eccentric little witch again.

The person who came to pick her up, Weng Jingjing knew, one of Tang Huan's four bodyguards in Xiangjiang, Zheng Gang, she secretly gave the other party a nickname, Sai Zhang Fei, but she didn't have a chance to call it out yet.

After being sent home by Zheng Gang, Weng Jingjing saw her mother Zhao Xiaoyu standing in the living room, looking at herself coldly, "Stinky girl, your ability is getting bigger and bigger, you have gone out crazy for so long, and you think you are sorry to come back with two suitcases." ”

"Yours." Weng Jingjing, who was white-eyed, took out the small gift box that Tang Huan had specially given her before, put it in her mother's hand, and then dragged the suitcase into her bedroom.

"The stinky girl is quite angry." Zhao Xiaoyu counted in anger while casually opening the small gift box, and then fell silent and dumbfounded.

I saw that there were three pure gems in the box: red, green and blue, and the well-informed Zhao Xiaoyu could be sure at a glance that this was a rare natural gemstone.

"Ruby, emerald, sapphire, it's not easy to put it all together. It seems that the girl has found a big backer in the past few days. Zhao Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

……

Hearing that the living room was quiet all of a sudden, Weng Jingjing shook her head with a wry smile. When she was a scoundrel on the plane, she quietly took a look at what was inside, and she was also stunned for a while.

Opening the two suitcases, Weng Jingjing looked at the contents and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

When I first went shopping, I didn't think much of it, but I didn't expect to accumulate so much.

Weng Jingjing counted it casually, and the estimated value made him startled.

Xiangjiang is originally a material society, coupled with the influence of the family environment, Weng Jingjing did not have any hypocritical thoughts in her heart, but smiled smugly, Tang Huan really loved herself.

Weng Jingjing sorted out her things, and after a while, her mother Zhao Xiaoyu walked in, looked at it silently for a while, and then asked lightly, "You are looking for a man." ”

"You have Uncle Liu as a backer, so naturally I have to find one." Weng Jingjing replied calmly.

Zhao Xiaoyu snorted coldly and asked in a cold voice, "Who is the other party?" Don't be deceived by people's rhetoric. ”

"That's my own business, so don't mix it up." Weng Jingjing cut off, "Besides, even if you and my Uncle Liu are tied together, you won't be seen by the other party." ”

was robbed by her daughter, Zhao Xiaoyu not only was not annoyed as usual, but nodded and smiled, "I guessed who the other party is, the Boss Tang who once sent you back, right?" ”

Seeing that Weng Jingjing did not admit it or deny it, Zhao Xiaoyu's smile became more and more vigorous, "She is worthy of being my daughter, her vision and means are first-class." ”

Weng Jingjing rolled her eyes and reminded, "His strength is not something you can imagine, you'd better keep your distance." ”

……

Recently, Apple, which has been chasing and blocking IBM-PC through AppleIIe, has made a mess.

After the development of the AppleIIe, Woz, who had nothing to do, planned to fly his own private jet, the wealthy model of Beechcraft Aircraft Company, and took his fiancée to her uncle to order a wedding ring.

As a result, at SkyPark Airport - Sky Garden Airport in Scotts Valley, California, Woz's private jet fell headlong during takeoff and crashed.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in a life-threatening situation, and Woz was hospitalized for a few days before coming out.

However, everyone had to accept that a cruel, Apple-founder and tech icon Woltz, suffered from intermittent amnesia.

This means that Wox is no longer up to the task of developing Apple's technology.
