Chapter 185: Sun Yansheng, Jiang Wanmeng

Seeing Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng communicating with a small chip in front of the booth, Liu Xun suddenly remembered that in another time and space, Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng also met at this exhibition, and then the two hit it off at first sight and co-founded Wanyan Company in the second year.

Could it be that the two have already hooked up at this moment? Liu Xun thought to himself.

No, it's not going to work, it's not going to work.

Liu Xun doesn't want these two to hook up, and he doesn't want the VCD project he is about to launch to be given a head start.

Of course, it's not that Liu Xun can't allow Jiang Wanmeng to develop VCD technology, if Jiang Wanmeng's approach helps the development of the domestic electronics industry, it's just that the existence of Wanyan not only did not make the domestic electronics industry progress, but made VCD a tool for foreign electronics industry to make money. Jiang Wanmeng invented VCD but did not apply for a patent, which caused the loss of China's leading opportunity in the field of consumer electronics in the 20th century.

In fact, after the invention of VCD, some people persuaded him to apply for a patent, but Jiang Wanmeng believed that under the circumstances at that time, the difference between applying for a patent and not applying for a patent was not very big, and the key was to let Wanyan's products occupy the market as soon as possible, so he finally brewed this cup of bitter wine. However, until a few years later, Jiang Wanmeng still did not believe that Wanyan's failure was due to the reason for not applying for a patent.

As a first-hand witness of the incident, Jiang Wanmeng did not agree with the simple analysis of "patent theory" more than ten years later. In his opinion, the more important reason for Wan Yan's failure was the limitations of that era. First of all, because it was still a collective-owned enterprise at that time, Wanyan could not obtain financial support from more channels, and the relevant departments always hoped to promote the development of the entire industry in Anhui through Wanyan, overemphasizing the ownership of property rights, and pursuing large and complete, and an emerging industry was in the situation of constraints everywhere step by step towards the fate of collapse and sinking into the sand.

It can't be said that Jiang Wanmeng's statement is unreasonable, Wan Yan's failure does have the limitations of the times, but if Wan Yan applied for a patent, many situations can be improved, at least, VCD will not become a tool for overseas electronics manufacturers to make money. With Jiang Wanmeng's mentality, Liu Xun persuaded him to apply for a patent after inventing VCD, and people may not accept his affection.

Therefore, in any case, whether it is for his own interests or for VCD, which is a stepping stone to enter the field of consumer electronics, Liu Xun will try his best to get the VCD project into his own hands, and will not give Jiang Wanmeng a chance, even if Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng can talk, with the opportunity to develop VCD, Liu Xun also believes that he can develop VCD first. Because, after returning to the exhibition, Jiang Wanmeng spent more than half of his time in determining the feasibility report of the VCD project and letting the Hyundai Group in Annan Province pass the approval of the project, and it was not until March 93 that he invested in the establishment of Wanyan Company to start research and development, but he could skip the intermediate steps and start research and development directly.

It wasn't until Scooper's staff led Liu Xun and Xue Juewu over that the conversation between Sun Yansheng and Jiang Wanmeng stopped, and then seeing that the exhibition was about to end, Jiang Wanmeng left his contact information and left first.

Xue Juewu used to be an employee of Skober, so he was naturally familiar with the two sides first, and after a few polite words, several people were ready to find a place to start a formal conversation, just now on the phone Sun Yansheng already knew that there was a big customer to talk to him, although he was surprised by Liu Xun's age, but he didn't say much.

Sun Yansheng is a Chinese-American, not tall, the face tends to be feminine, but he is very capable, this person has founded the www.xstxt.org since 1981 to award the only lifetime achievement award and is known as the "father of MPEG", but in this time and space, the two titles that should have belonged to Sun Yansheng were targeted by Liu Xun this time, if this exchange goes well, there is no doubt that these two titles will eventually fall on Liu Xun's head.

Sun Yansheng naturally didn't know what Liu Xun was thinking about, and he was very enthusiastic to introduce Liu Xun to the products displayed at the Scottber booth, but to be honest, the current Scottber, there are really few products that can be used, MPEG technology is good, but unfortunately, looking at Sun Yansheng's face, you know that except for Jiang Wanmeng, it probably hasn't aroused the interest of others.

"Mr. Sun, is the person you were talking to just now also an employee of Scooper?" Liu Xun pretended to ask unintentionally.

"No," Sun Yansheng smiled slightly, "His name is Jiang Wanmeng, he is from the Annan Provincial Institute of Modern Television Technology, and he came to Las Vegas this time for this exhibition." ”

Liu Xun was relieved, it seemed that he didn't recognize the wrong person, it was really him.

"Just now, I saw the other party and Mr. Sun's enthusiastic interaction, and I was a little curious, and I thought that the other party was an employee of Scopber."

"Hehe, Mr. Jiang is a very thoughtful person." After saying this, Sun Yansheng didn't talk much about this issue.

Liu Xun smiled slightly, "Mr. Sun, I won't tell you, the reason why I came to the door this time is because after listening to Miss Xue about your company's MPEG technology, I became interested in this technology......

Before Liu Xun finished speaking, Sun Yansheng let out a sound of surprise, "Mr. Liu is also interested in this technology?" Mr. Jiang also became interested in this technology after watching it, and wanted to use this technology to create a new audio-visual product. ”

Sure enough, as he expected, just like the history of another time and space, Jiang Wanmeng at this time really had such an idea, if he didn't have himself, he was afraid that everything would go on like history, Liu Xun thought in his heart.

"Mr. Liu has just acquired 54 percent of Cisco's shares and has now become Cisco's largest shareholder."

After Sun Yansheng finished speaking, Xue Juewu suddenly interjected a sentence quietly, but she was also surprised under pressure, she just heard the idea of using MPEG technology for the research and development of VCD from Liu Xun's mouth, and she didn't think about turning around and heard that another person also had such an idea, and she couldn't be surprised, of course, for what Liu Xun just said was the MPEG technology that she heard from her mouth, Xue Juewu naturally could only pout helplessly, and it was always difficult to refute.

Liu Xun secretly praised in his heart, this beautiful technical director seems to be good at more than just technology.

Sun Yansheng's face was silent, but there was a burst of consternation in his heart, and his gaze at Liu Xun began to change.

Although not many people are concerned about Cisco's share changes, Sun Yansheng happens to be in the know, and even knows about Cisco's share transaction, and the total transaction between the two sides is $380 million. This alone can attract enough attention from him, so that he can no longer ignore Liu Xun's identity. $380 million, more than enough to buy a few Scoopers.

As soon as Xue Juewu's words came out, even if Liu Xun looked like he was only in his early twenties at the moment, Sun Yansheng couldn't give birth to half a bit of contempt, and he also understood why Xue Juewu was with Liu Xun, because he knew that Xue Juewu was working at Cisco during this time.

"Mr. Liu is so bold at a young age, I am ashamed of myself, but I don't know why Mr. Liu took a fancy to MPEG technology?" Sun Yansheng had put himself and Liu Xun on the same footing before, but after knowing about this, his attitude was half shorter, and he naturally spoke more politely and cautiously.

Liu Xun laughed and didn't say anything, and Sun Yansheng didn't ask more.

The next talk, Xue Juewu can be regarded as understanding, the surname Jiang, just saw the MPEG chip, and wanted to develop a new audio-visual product on a whim, as for the others, he didn't think about it at all, unlike Liu Xun, before meeting Xue Juewu, he had done in-depth market research, including a feasibility report of the project, which made Xue Juewu more confident in VCD.

And Sun Yansheng also understood that the reason why Liu Xun took a fancy to MPEG technology was also to develop audio-visual products based on it, and he was naturally surprised in his heart.

Moreover, Liu Xun also expressed his hope that he could obtain the transfer of Scober's patents and even the transfer of the expert group, which was actually part of the acquisition of Scober in disguise.

Liu Xun's expression of meaning, so that Sun Yansheng couldn't help but sigh that his wealth is big, Jiang Wanmeng wants to develop a new audio-visual product, to use Scober's MPEG technology, and will definitely cooperate with Scooper, but Liu Xun is extremely domineering on the surface, and directly expressed his intention to acquire, and it seems that his attitude is still relatively resolute.

However, with Xue Xuewu's previous sentence, the young man who talked to him was the financier who spent a huge amount of money to acquire more than half of Cisco's shares, Sun Yansheng naturally didn't think that Liu Xun was joking, let alone doubt Liu Xun's financial resources.

It's just that when he really thought about it, Sun Yansheng was a little hesitant.

"Haha, Mr. Sun don't have to worry, my bid will definitely satisfy Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun can think about it after he goes back today, and what price is more appropriate."

Sun Yansheng smiled bitterly, "I won't tell you, Scottber's family has a small business, and there are few belongings that can be handled, and this MPEG technology is one of them. As for this technology, no one has ever expressed any intention to acquire it before, and I have not considered patent transfer, Mr. Jiang was the first person to be interested in this technology, and Mr. Liu was the second, and I was a little surprised that two people expressed interest in this technology in one day. ”

Liu Xun smiled and said nothing, but Xue Juewu tried to create an image of Liu Xun in the conversation, with the previous acquisition of Cisco as the foundation, and this image was naturally extremely successful.
