"Li Jian, where are you? In addition to the situation in the United States, Niso company and several other floppy drive manufacturing companies began to publicize the benefits of floppy drives and the comparison of optical drives on a large scale, they want to strangle the optical drive in the cradle, the latest electronic enthusiast newspaper has published such a news that the optical drive is useless, and there is no optical drive accessories with the IBN company, I am afraid that it will create a useless effect of optical drive, in this way, our optical drive sales will definitely decrease, and the sales of Compoq and HPH will definitely be affected, It is a question of whether they will continue to order optical drives from us in the next step. ”

Tang Yang rarely made such a long phone call to Li Jian once, but this news did make Li Jian frown, there is no doubt that the optical drive is a much more advanced technology than the floppy drive, the optical disc has a larger capacity than the floppy disk, easy to save, the storage data is of high quality, easy to carry, and the advantages of not being afraid of vibration are not comparable to the floppy disk at all.

In fact, from the beginning of the appearance of the optical drive, the camp of the floppy drive was a little bit of a rout, until the optical drive completely occupied the market and became the standard, and the floppy drive gradually disappeared from the standard configuration, and in the end even a trace could not be found, completely disappeared in the long river of history.

"These stupid forks!"

Li Jian scolded, and Tang Yang comforted,

"It's useless for you to scold them, hurry up and think of a way, after all, you took Nisso's job, it should be a normal reaction for people to do this, we can't watch them fight back."

"I'm not scolding Nisso, it's the floppy drive companies that cooperate with Nisso. They didn't know that Nisso was just using them to build momentum, and wait four or five months. After Nisso produced its own optical drive that can be matched with personal computers, it is certainly not this tone, and it is time to emphasize the advantages of optical drives over floppy drives, which they have been sold and helped to count the money. ”

Li Jian frowned and stretched out slightly, as if he relieved his mood after scolding,

"Nisso must have been in contact with IBN and promised to supply IBN with the product they produce first. In that case, there is an explanation for IBN not contacting us now, but I dare say. They will regret it then, you can also find a few newspapers over there, do more advertising, and then speed up the contact with the film and television company. Remember to do what I said earlier. Just to prepare for this day. ”

Tang Yang paused and asked again,

"Disc game consoles can already be mass-produced, and synchronized with the disc drive, the games that can be played on the disc game console, on the disc drive, can be played with a personal computer, I think this time to increase the promotion of disc game consoles. Allowing those disc manufacturers to also benefit should have a greater effect on the popularization of optical drives. ”

"How's your talk? Are several software companies interested in your project? ”

Li Jian knew that Tang Yang went to the United States this time to recruit some software companies to promote CD games, so that they could see the huge profits in CD games.

"It's okay to talk about it, but the share that is allowed to them, some software companies are satisfied, some are not satisfied, I will adopt your opinion, according to the sales volume to calculate the commission, 500,000 games, 40 percent commission, 1 million sets, the first 500,000 commissions 40 percent, the last 500,000 sets, 50 percent commission, two million sets, the last 1 million commissions 55 percent, such a level of commission, is equivalent to putting all the money they make in their own hands, if they make good enough games, there are enough players, They make enough money, of course, I also take our costs into account, and the highest does not exceed our costs, which means that we do not pay them in the early stage, they make software for us completely free, and their profits must be distributed according to the sales results after the software is sold. ”

Li Jian nodded unconsciously, the advantage of this is that he does not have to undertake huge R&D tasks by himself, and he will not bury good ideas and games, so that the software development company can find a balance between pay and gain.

"The minimum company, also give them a small guarantee, even if the game does not sell well, a game will give them thousands of dollars of hard work, so that some small game companies will not go out of business because of the unsuccess of one game, maybe their second game can be successful."

What Li Jian saw at this time is not just interests, but the long-term development of an industry, in an industry, not only the best companies in development, any industry, is like a pyramid, the best companies can only exist at the top of the tower, and can not make money, or small companies with poor sales, those small companies struggling on the line of life and death, are the cornerstone of this industry, when they work hard, if they can grasp the opportunity, It is possible to become a successful person who seizes the opportunity.

"I've taken this into consideration, but I don't know how much the price is right, it's too high and it's a burden to us, and the price is too low to play an incentive role, or we will operate according to the price of 5,000 dollars, although 5,000 dollars is not enough for all the labor costs and pay, but it can ensure the minimum demand, so as not to lose the effort to continue working because of no financial security." After Tang Yang finished speaking, he chatted with Li Jian for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

Li Jian put down the phone in his hand, thinking about his recent arrangement, Nisso's response this time did exceed Li Jian's expectations, and increasing the value of the floppy drive was actually harmful to Nisso, because Nisso's interests in floppy drives were not large, and optical drives were Nisso's strengths.

It's just that now Niso's strengths have been preempted by Qianghua, even if Niso produces products, it will take five months to wait, of course, now it only takes four months, which includes coordinating the motherboard port with IBN's motherboard supplier, he is not like Li Jian, as early as the Paris exhibition, he has already contacted Compoq and HPH, and reserved a port on the motherboard in advance that they don't know what to do.

Although in the short term, Niso has increased the value of the floppy drive, which is equivalent to reducing the value of the optical drive technology in his hands, but in fact it does not cause much damage to him, and the market that there is no original, even if it disappears, it will not affect Nisso.

When Nisso's optical drive products can be marketed in large quantities, Nisso will face the dispute he initiated over the optical drive floppy drive, and at this time, the disadvantage of the optical drive will infringe on the interests of Nisso, and what they have to do is to eliminate this influence, and on the contrary, to create a theory that optical drives are useful and floppy drives are useless.

This practice, in large companies and companies that occupy a dominant position in the market, can often be found, the greatest impact on later generations is also the most well-known, that is, Tesla, the understanding of electric energy technology has exceeded the dominant Edison, but due to the difference in market position, alternating current is obviously better than direct current, but it is excluded from the mainstream by market operation, Tesla's great invention, in the end, can only spend that unbearable period in the dust, only to bloom dazzling.

This is the same as the FM controversy over the radio station back then, except that FM's impact is much smaller than Tesla's alternating current, and his opponent is much smaller than that of General Motors.

The difference between now and then is that Nisso itself is actually the producer and representative of the dominant optical drive, but it is more in the interests of Niso to temporarily suppress the optical drive.

"I hope Tang Yang's disc games will not disappoint me, and I hope that his disc game console can surpass the red and white machine, after all, the disc game machine is a technology that surpasses the red and white machine for more than two generations, and it surpasses the red and white machine in terms of visual enjoyment, auditory enjoyment and control, not to mention the playability."

Li Jian picked up the disc in front of him, this is just one of the latest game discs produced by Tangyang Company, in the thick pile of discs, the game disc occupies about half, and the rest is film and television work CD.

Tang Yang's idea is that the disc game console can play games when playing disc game discs, and when putting in video discs, it can be used to watch movies and television, so that even if you don't spend so much money to buy a personal computer, you can still enjoy the same treatment as a theater at home.

Li Jian agrees with this very much, the current enjoyment of home film and television entertainment, at most, is a video recorder that can play VHS videotapes, and buying a disc game console is equivalent to having two functions at the same time, which will be the first choice for most ordinary families.

Disc game consoles are equivalent to replacing the status of the upcoming VCD, imagine the broad prospects of the domestic VCD disc market, even the production of pirated discs can be used as an industrial chain, feed countless people, you can know how big this market is, and this market overlaps with the game console market, it will only be larger than the original market.

Tang Yang's idea is very easy to implement, and it only needs to make some additional settings and hardware configurations in the disc game console, so it has been realized very early.

But this idea,But let Li Jian re-examine himself,It's not that the higher the technology, the better,When I proposed the optical drive,I wanted to promote the sales of the optical drive with the help of two products, game discs and video discs,But I advanced the appearance time of the optical drive,There is no synchronous improvement of the configuration of the personal computer,The picture quality of the small 14-inch CRT monitor,It is difficult to make the video image as high as in the theater,So,The emergence of the disc game console,In fact, it is another encroachment on the optical drive market。 (To be continued......)
