Chapter 149 Meeting

Catherine sorted out her plan, and she thought it was good, not to cause trouble for herself, but also to achieve the purpose of mutual benefit.

"Westinghouse, GM ......" and then Catherine frowned, "Panasonic ......"

Dealing with Japanese manufacturers can sometimes be a real hassle.

Japanese manufacturers, especially these multinational companies, have the support of the government and the state behind them, and various tax refund methods have emerged one after another, which has maintained a great advantage for American companies.

But the other two, Catherine didn't have to worry.

The enemy of Westinghouse Electric will never be Catherine, but General Electric, founded by Edison.

Enemies united for the sake of small interests, in the face of the greater good, will soon split.

After all, Catherine is just in conflict with each other on the TV, while the conflict between GM and Westinghouse is in competition including various home appliances, and they can be said to be inseparable rivals.

Negotiation is a long-term business, and Catherine is ready to fight a long battle.

"Hello gentlemen."

Catherine was wearing an OL outfit and flat glasses at this time.

Since the last time she did this, Catherine has found that there is really such a thing as "aura", after changing into a suit, the temperament of the whole person is completely different, and the current clothes are just right.

On the other side, there are the heads of Westinghouse, GM and Panasonic.

At the beginning of the negotiations, there seemed to be some gunpowder, after all, Catherine had given them a headache for a while.

"IMHO, the concept of chromatic component is really good, and it will be a qualitative improvement for the picture of TV video...... But there is one thing that I regret. Because I don't think our TVs need that kind of interface. ”

It was a representative of General Electric who spoke.

"Yes, the current TV set is impossible, but ......"

Catherine glanced at Elsa, she understood, and immediately sent the information in her hand. I have to say that Elsa is indeed a good secretary.

"We have dazzle technology."

Dazzle technique, that's the name Catherine gave herself Trilon.

A spiral-shaped flame is the logo of its own technology.

The reason for the name is that the dazzling technique is enough to pull the wind, and it sounds much better than Trilon or Diamond Long.

Looking at this information, the opposite side was quickly stunned.

Pure flat, this is actually pure flat?

The allure of the full screen is huge, Catherine knows.

Nowadays, most of the TVs are spherical, and the display screen of the TV is protruding outward, but after using Catherine's dazzling technology, it is completely possible to make the TV flat

Not only that, but if the number of dazzling vision technology is really as stated on this paper, then the effect of the display screen will be very powerful.

They quickly consulted with the think tank behind them.

"We need to look at the real thing, or we can't be sure if the parameters of this thing are what you said."

"Of course."

Catherine had already prepared her things.

For this display technology, Catherine has registered patents for Trilon, Diamond Long, and the dazzling technology that they mix together, and in this regard, Catherine is not afraid of being exploited.

"Our dazzle technology can be licensed to you at a very good price."

Catherine threw a bombshell again.

If integrated circuit TV has changed the simple broadcast conditions in the past, the dazzling technology has undoubtedly turned the TV into a kind of enjoyment

Catherine did this, naturally, not without a price.

There is a label in the upper right corner of every TV, which is the logo of Dazzle Technology.

When advertising, for the use of Apple's accessories, you must also use the dazzling inside, or Intel-inside or the like.

Catherine learned this method from later laptops.

In the 21st century, in the area under the keyboard, there will be signs such as Intel, NviDIA, etc., indicating the accessories inside the machine. There are also people who buy new labels and attach them to them for 13.

Of course, desktops are also available, but Catherine sees more of them for laptops, because laptops can be carried around, and the strength of the 13 is more powerful than that of desktops.

But Catherine knew that it was also a business tool.

Try to think about it, a person buys a TV, and then in the upper right corner, it is his own trademark, which is simply more useful than the most overwhelming advertising,

"I want to ...... We need to think about it. ”

Then, the first day of negotiations ended like this.

Although Catherine's technical concept is very good and powerful, the other party is only a representative after all, and the specific matters have to be discussed with the company.

Catherine took advantage of this opportunity to come to her unfinished manor.

The buildings of the manor already had a look, and the American workers at this time, as long as they were paid, would work overtime, which was much better than the later workers who demanded wage increases and strikes at every turn.

Therefore, the construction of the manor was faster than Catherine imagined.

"Elsa, this will be our home from now on, doesn't it feel good?"

"Hmm."

Elsa nodded.

"Hmm...... Next year, we'll move here."

The workplace is very tight, and the environment here is really good for me.

After seeing the manor, Catherine went back to her company's new headquarters.

"Noah".

Again, it was unfinished.

"Noah" has a rounded triangular structure, some of which resemble hollow pyramids, with three divisions occupying one corner.

Although it is triangular, most of the equipment will be placed on the first floor of the ground floor, and the huge steel frame structure with a protruding triangle is, to put it bluntly, just a sign.

Since many of the current technologies are not available, Catherine reserved a lot of things such as network cable wiring when planning.

Catherine will need to be connected to the company's intranet in the future. However, due to the possibility of cybercrime such as hackers - not yet - due to the possibility of cybercrime, Catherine will physically separate the company's intranet from the external network. Of course, it is necessary to maintain external contact.

Now, Ralph. Roberts, the president of American Telecom, is now in discussions with Stanford about setting up a network.

Catherine is ready to make a show to the Pentagon that several universities are now interconnected, after all, there is no shadow of the second batch of grants.

"The Evil Congress of the United States."

Catherine whined.

Then, the second round of negotiations began a few days later.

Dazzle technology is Catherine's killer feature, as long as there is dazzle technology, the standard of color difference is not a problem.

"Why not RGB mode? Wouldn't it be better to use the three primary colors? "Someone asked again, this time technically.

"That's right." Catherine replied, "Yes. But the premise is that the viewer is a superhuman or an alien. For human beings, the color gamut that LAB can display within our visual range is far greater than RGB, and the use of chromatic aberration terminals will give viewers a better visual experience. ”

Chromatic aberration access to TV should be called YCbCr or YPbPr, but now that Catherine is the formulator, she uses the same input title as the computer, and no one will object.

After saying this, Catherine said: "And the chromatic aberration line supports black and white movies very well, and if you use chromatic aberration input, it will not waste resources like RGB, because in the chromatic aberration line, the brightness is input separately, and RGB requires the cooperation of the three." ”

"In the future,The picture of the TV will get better and better,But the current video interface,It will gradually be eliminated by the market,And the chromatic interface can be called a perfect interface,When studying access equipment,We can save a lot of money,Even,This can be said to be a solution to the problem of video input once and for all......"

Olsen added a paragraph after Catherine.

"We want to hear about specific plans."

Westinghouse representatives began to ask questions, which opened the deadlock in the negotiations.

The representative of General Electric frowned and glanced at the representative of Westinghouse.

The other party's uncooperative attitude was obviously aimed at squeezing more benefits, but GM's representative obviously did not expect Westinghouse to kick himself.

The other party actually fought among themselves.

"Yes, sir." Olsen stood up at this point, then turned on the slide projector and began to explain to the people how the coloration was different.

The second negotiation ended quickly, and in these two negotiations, Panasonic's representatives were like making soy sauce, in fact, with the current technical level of Japanese companies compared to Catherine, they could only play soy sauce.

But Catherine believed that it would only take two or three more visits at most for the other party to start agreeing.

In fact, Catherine's luck was not bad, and by the time of the third negotiation, Westinghouse and Panasonic had already asked Catherine in detail about their own standard-setting plans. And in the end, GE had to choose to compromise.

Taking advantage of a few breaks, Catherine also prepared a special logo for chromatic aberration input, which is the shape of a rainbow, as long as the TV supports chromatic aberration input, you can attach this label.

However, what Catherine didn't expect was that because of her labeling behavior, it would gradually become popular in the future, and some people blindly believed that as long as the more labels could be put on the TV, the more high-end the TV set would be, and even gave birth to a sticker industry - although it was illegal.

After several negotiations, and the time was already approaching October, Catherine simply entrusted the matter to Olsen, and she chose to leave.

Catherine still needs to do one important thing in November: pass the guò SAT exam.

There are several opportunities to take the SAT throughout the year, and Catherine is now preparing for the test in November.

So, Catherine started her revision a month in advance in order to pass the SAT.
