Kumho's subsidiary in RB acquired a website that provides genuine music downloads, and when he first heard the news, Xie Jiannan paused. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Since the second half of '95, a large number of pirated discs, rich in content, and cheap have gradually filled the market throughout the country, and the problem of the source of disc players has been thoroughly solved, and this is the fundamental reason why the market for disc machines has exploded from less than 20,000 units a year to 8 million units a year in the past three years.

Xie Jiannan didn't believe that Zhang Ke and the people of Kumho didn't know this truth, and he even suspected that pirated discs could cover the whole country so quickly and flow into Southeast Asia, and Zhang Ke was the real driving force behind it.

Is there any inevitable connection between the website that provides genuine music and Kumho, or is that guy suddenly in good conscience to support the legitimate cause?

All this is absurd on the surface, and there is nothing to make it seem logical to relate it.

Kumho has made quite a few seemingly ridiculous decisions in the past, which have turned out to be masterful layouts.

Xie Jiannan frowned slightly, couldn't figure out the joints, and glanced at Lee Jae-so, since Samsung's marketing department noticed this information, and Lee Jae-so solemnly put it forward, they must have their own opinions, smiled, spread their hands and said: "I'm shallow, I can't figure out what Kumho's intentions are in doing this......

Few young people admit their inadequacy in front of others, but Xie Jiannan is calm.

Lee Jae-so did not make a fool of himself, saying: "At the beginning of August, a famous general manager of Samsung Electronics proposed the idea of a portable digital audio player, which can store music and song content in MP3 and other software formats and play it in the player to realize the function of the Walkman...... The headquarters did not take the general manager's proposal seriously, but it was Kumho's subsidiary in RB that acquired an online music store, which made me think a little about it. ā€

The Asian financial turmoil has put Samsung in the midst of the biggest adjustment in nearly a decade, and admittedly, there is also a little bit of chaos, which is the fundamental reason why Samsung did not take this proposal seriously.

Lee Jae-so has been carefully studying this proposal in the past few days, and the more he researches, the more he discovers that the market prospect of this product is broad, and it will be a major mistake for Samsung to abandon the development of this product, and he is now worried that Kumho has the same idea and has taken the lead.

At this time, the staff ran over to inform that the car of Xiao Mingjian, the mayor of Jianye, and Han Yongtai, the consul general of HG in Shanghai, arrived at the reception site in advance, and Lee Jae-so, Kim Nam-yong and other senior staff of Samsung in China went to greet him, and Xie Jiannan turned around to find his girlfriend who came with him to attend the reception.

On the balcony outside the banquet hall on the second floor, although it was as cold as ever, the cold wind could not blow, which was just right to stand there and watch the celebrities from all walks of life who came to attend the reception in front of the foyer downstairs. In front of the foyer, not only Mayor Xiao Mingjian arrived, Executive Vice Mayor Hu Zongqing also arrived, as well as HG Commander-in-Chief in Shanghai Han Yongtai and Lee Jae-so stood in front of the door to greet them.

Seeing Hu Zongqing, Xie Jiannan hesitated whether to take the initiative to say hello.

Xiao Mingjian and Hu Zongqing supported Haisu Technology's construction of a software industrial park project in Jianye High-tech Zone, Xie Jiannan heard about it from his uncle Zhou Jinxi, Xie Jiannan had never heard of Haisu Technology before, and thought that Jinshan had another place to get rid of Jianye.

It's not that Jinshan's pace is slow, but that Kin Yee's pace is too fast, and when Kumho decides to invest in the Oak Park project in Kin Ye and Jian Ye starts the digital corridor concept, everything seems to be accelerating.

Xie Jiannan called his uncle Zhou Jinxi and made an appointment to stay at his house at night after the reception.

The cold wind gusted, and the low clouds seemed to press on the street lamps, and no one wanted to stay outside for a while in such weather, and the young students who lingered in the alleys of the school at night hurriedly found a coffee shop and bookstore and went in.

There are many international students who like the British style of 1978, and there are many foreign devils sitting in the bar chatting and drinking. Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin and Aimer sat in front of the bar, Aimer took the car keys from his assistant, threw them on the bar, and threw them at hand, as a result, several girls came over to talk under the pretext of language practice throughout the night.

Looking at Aimer's smug appearance, Zhang Ke could only turn a blind eye, this guy didn't just grasp the weakness of Chinese girls, but just smiled and discussed with Ye Jianbin when to go to the United States together to get back.

Ye Jianbin didn't talk so well to those girls who stuck to them like flies, if it was a girl with a decent appearance, he would stretch his head directly and ask, "How much does it cost to pack you for a week?" In this way, almost all the girls who were a little ashamed ran away; Zhang Ke laughed strangely when he saw it.

"Three villains!" Sun Jingmeng stood behind the bar and commented disdainfully on the three of them.

For such an evaluation, Zhang Ke respectfully thanked Bumin, leaned back against the bar, held a wine glass in his hand, rested his elbows on the bar, looking for any beautiful girls in the bar, Tang Jing will come from Haizhou tomorrow, and when Tang Jing comes, the eyes of other girls will be more restrained.

"What do you think about Samsung's R&D center in Jianye, which will be the largest outside of their HG headquarters?" There were many people in the bar, Aimer and Zhang Ke and they communicated in English, and he followed Zhang Ke and them out alone, not to go to the bar near the school to seduce the vain girl.

Zhang Ke shook his head and replied to him in English: "You are not the kind of hard-working person who is still keen on work during the break, and the overseas manufacturers who attach importance to the Chinese market are not only HG Samsung, how can I have so many opinions?" Zhang Ke was very irresponsible to block Aimer's question, this guy seduced the girls in the bar while not forgetting to put his own tone,

"You really don't talk about work here?" Aimer asked.

Zhang Ke took out his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask Chen Xinsheng and Su Jindong to come out now?" ā€

Aimer smiled helplessly and shook his head.

As early as a month ago, Kumho provided Deyi and Scober with technical information on the hardware player for MP3 music files, along with the technical information, and an analysis report on the market prospect forecast of this codenamed M-1 product.

The negotiations so far have not involved the content of this mp3 hardware player, and if it was only the previous negotiations, it would not have been possible for Laudel Fasi to take over.

Kumho's solution for developing MP3 hardware players is based on the hardware architecture of embedded microprocessor + digital signal microprocessor. Whether it is an embedded microprocessor or a digital signal microprocessor, Deyi has strong technical resources; It not only has strong technical resources, but also has a leading position in the industry.

What kind of ambition Kumho has in this regard, Aimer can guess with his toes.

As long as they join forces with Deyi, they can not only communicate with Deyi in terms of technology, but most importantly, with the help of Deyi's position in the industry, and take advantage of the favorable advantages of being the first to enter the market, Kumho will be able to become the mainstream solution for MP3 hardware players, even if they cannot promote the technology they have developed as the only industry standard for MP3 hardware players.

This indicates that Kumho will become a core technology supplier of the industry at the same time as Deyi, if the MP3 hardware player eventually becomes a huge industry.

Of course, Deyi will also get the great benefits they deserve from it, and will share the near-monopoly profits of the industry with Kumho, which is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Once this hardware architecture becomes the mainstream or even the only solution, then a number of application technologies developed by Kumho on this hardware architecture will most likely be patent obstacles that other electronics manufacturers cannot avoid, and Kumho can make a lot of money.

There are many places where Kumho and Deyi have the same interests, which means that there may be many cooperation options to choose from, so Delfasi has been at ease after arriving in Jianye, and he does not see the slightest eagerness.

Aimer didn't have the ability to be so leisurely, Scooper had no place to rely on, and in front of Deyi, Emmer didn't have the face to brag about Scober's superb skills, in fact, Scober didn't have the technology Kumho desperately wanted in his hands. There are no powerful chips in his hand, but he covets other people's things, so it is naturally possible to pay an additional price, Aimer has such psychological preparation, but the longer the time drags on, the greater the psychological pressure.

Aimer suspects that Kumho and Deyi have cut to the chase, but most of the time the negotiations between the three parties are not mixed together, so it is impossible to know the specific situation. At this time, Scrooper has a strong willingness to enter the terminal product market, with the help of a new electronic product that may have epoch-making significance in the audio market to enter the terminal product market, it is undoubtedly a godsend, the main purpose of Emer to Jianye, is to obtain MP3 hardware player product technology.

Zhang Ke just wanted to wear down Aimer's patience, he didn't want to raise a tiger, and he didn't want to personally train Scober, a close collaborator at this time, to become the most powerful competitor in the digital audio player market in the future, so there were a number of restrictive conditions to force Scober to accept.
