Chapter 182 and IBM's wrestling

The conversation with Heidi was very pleasant, and the other party agreed to meet with Catherine. To read the latest chapters, please lock Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network biquge.info}

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Catherine made another phone call to Martin. Cooper.

"Spread spectrum technology? Can we really use spread spectrum technology? "Cooper was clearly excited.

"Yes. Our next generation of mobile phones is going to use this technology...... Of course, the main thing we have now is the cellular intercom system. ”

"I see."

Catherine hung up the phone and began to think about where the company was headed in the future.

After getting the VCD, immediately after that, the research of the optical drive should go to the number jù optical drive.

Only by researching the number of jù optical drives, can their future development be smooth.

At present, the company is developing steadily, there is no news about Motorola's CRT research, and IBM is clamoring for the launch of a laser disc, but so far there has been no action.

So Catherine's current situation is relatively stable.

Taking advantage of this time, Catherine also went to take the driver's license test, and then got a gun license, which can be regarded as a legal gun.

In addition, taking advantage of this time, Catherine also finished writing the script of "The Condor Heroes".

Many of Catherine's plots don't follow this original version of The Condor, after all, this version is not perfect.

For the time being, the script only wrote the place where Yang Guo broke his arm, and then it didn't continue, after all, Jin Yong may not necessarily sell such adaptation rights.

Making cartoons is not Catherine's main business, and she still has a lot to do. Although the company's current capital flow is quite surplus, after all, it still has to face a large company like IBM.

……

At this time, Sanders, on the other side, is discussing VCD issues with various Hollywood companies.

"A VCD disc can record about 40 to 50 minutes, and a complete film is about 4 discs. Of course, if it's a black-and-white film, two discs will do. Our VCD can faithfully restore all aspects of the video, and with the use of chromatic aberration interface, our video can become very gorgeous. ”

"Sounds good." Warners' representatives smiled.

"But isn't this kind of film too troublesome? Four discs, it's easy to get it wrong, right? ”

There are also doubts about it.

"Yes, so we can use different colors in this part of the disc, and the text indicates." Sanders smiled confidently. He was born in Hollywood, and being able to be an actor was also his dream.

"But why do you want to use the LAB connector instead of the RGB connector?"

"First of all, with the chromatic aberration interface, this saves almost half the cost for black and white films. What's more, the LAB interface, in terms of the strength of the visual table, is better than RGB. After repeated arguments, our experts decided to use the LAB interface. Sanders' words are half-truths.

"With all due respect, I don't see any advantage of your product over IBM's laser discs."

It was a representative of 20th Century Fox who said this.

"IBM's products haven't come out yet. What's more, the color separation burning technology used in our VCD can truly restore the picture of the film, which should be larger than a single disc. ”

Split all the original color video into luminance information and output it. The chromatic aberration interface restores these messages to color information through guò, so as to obtain a perfect display effect.

"Of course, the main aspect is the price. Our VCD discs are inexpensive, while laser discs are ...... IMHO, IBM's laser disc program was originally developed with us, but the cost of laser discs for recording images is very high, and sometimes it is not as good as VCD. IMHO, if the other party really uses a low-price strategy, it is only possible that the other party is selling at a loss, and such an action cannot last too long. ”

Sanders' words are mixed with water.

"What about the shares?" A most practical question was posed by the representative of Universal.

"I've got the information ready for that."

Sanders handed them a schedule.

"Our company offers two options for this. The first is that your company will license us the production of the film, and we will share the final profit, and we will share the second one, we will license the VCD technology to you, and we will share 25% of the final profit, but in this case, you need to sign a contract with us, and in the next ten years, your film will not appear on other media media...... Especially things like laser discs. ”

The second option is obviously superior, and Catherine and Sanders can be said to have sacrificed their blood in order to win customers.

After all, Catherine is now the creator of history, wouldn't it be a very good thing if the rules in the future were set by herself?

"Compared with the existing video tapes, no matter how many times the VCD is played, there will be no degradation in playback quality, and the storage life of a disc can reach 20~50 years. On top of that, our cost is much lower than that of a videotape, which is almost a risk-free investment......"

After all, no one can say that they can make 100% money, but because of the low cost of VCD, even if it is a failed film, there will be no problems.

"And our disc making speed is very fast, our disc making method uses stamping zuò, and it only takes a few seconds for us to produce a disc. And for some films that we can't show in cinemas, we can also sell VCDs directly. ”

Sanders has taken out all the means, and at this time, it depends on whether they will take the bait.

"Maybe you can show us a show?" Someone else said.

"No problem at all."

Sanders had already prepared a 25-inch dazzle TV, and then put the prepared disc of "Wasteland" inside.

The picture is indeed outstanding, and everyone can't stop nodding their heads when they see it.

And Sanders was relieved.

And that seems to be the case.

……

And it was at this time that there was also a discussion going on in General Electric.

One manager produced a report: "This is the preferential terms that IBM has given us, and they are willing to bear the full consequences of our default." ”

The scope of GE's business is more complex than Catherine's Ark Group.

Their company is mainly made up of seven parts. Consumer Finance Group, Business Finance Group, Energy Group, Medical Group, Infrastructure Group, NBCUniversal, Transportation Group.

"According to the report from the global side, VCDs seem to have a big advantage. I don't think IBM can do it better than the other side. Another manager disagreed.

Now GM's chairman is Porch. But no one would think that such a problem would be related to the chairman.

In fact, the question is just IBM and ARK fighting, and who they support and who wins, they can pick up meat after them.

It's all a good thing for a fisherman.

Another person suddenly said: "Both sides have interests with us, and no matter who we support, we will face the enemy in the end." However, ARK seems to be changing that. ”

Catherine has been calling for a win-win.

The power of an interest group is far greater than that of a company of its own.

"And...... On the IBM side, there is also Motorola to help. ”

Indeed, one of the opponents of the American Radio Corporation (RCA) is MOTO.

The American Radio Corporation was established by three companies: General Electric, Westinghouse Electric, and AT*T.

From this point of view, the threat on IBM's side seems to be greater.

These shrewd businessmen quickly became clear on which side they should be on......

Like the blue giant or something, it's the most annoying.

……

On October 1, 1966, the cooperation with Hollywood on VCD was finally negotiated, and Catherine increased the promotion of VCD.

In charge of advertising, it was Donald.

His advertising slogan is "Your Home Theater".

To be honest, Catherine did feel a little sweaty about this advertisement, but I have to say that the effect is very good.

In order to seize the market, Catherine's VCD can even be open to individuals, and independently shot films can also be handed over to Catherine's company to press and then sell.

However, Catherine imitated the methods of later generations and graded these films.

This aspect is mainly to distinguish ***, to buy these films, you need to rely on proof of identity.

In this way, the healthy development of VCD can be maintained.

At the same time, companies such as General Electric and Westinghouse Electric began to produce their new generation of televisions - using chroma component interfaces.

But it was at this time that Sony and Motorola announced together that they had developed a new type of picture tube, a new generation of TV, which will use RGB interfaces to support the laser disc developed by IBM.

It was also at this time that IBM also announced that it would advance the launch of the laser disc to August next year.

"It seems that little Watson is really out of the way......"

Catherine frowned.

Mobile phones are a weapon against Motorola, while VCDs are used against IBM.

But my own capital chain seems to be a little unable to keep up......

Catherine felt a headache for a moment.

It can be seen that once the laser disc goes on sale, a price war is inevitable. And at that time, if you don't have enough funds, you can only lose.

"The Third Middle East War ......"

Catherine suddenly thought of next year's war in the Middle East.

She had planned to make a fortune with this plan, but now it seems that she can't make much money with the existing funds.

"It's really hard to make a little more money......

Catherine was ruthless, and it was a big deal to mortgage her company, so that she would be able to arbitrage more funds.

The oil prices of the Third Middle East War fluctuated for a short time, only for a short period of time in June, but the fluctuations in oil prices were so large that they were enough to make a lot of money......

Sometimes, speculation is something you have to do......
