Chapter 192, Not Exactly Gentleness (Alliance Leader Plus 3/3)
Just like the so-called systematic advantage of fighting in the war later, the competition between Phantom VCD and Wanyan VCD is not only the product itself.
Price is just one dimension.
Fighting a price war is a blood fight.
Although Songle's capital is sufficient, under the low profit margin, it is a trick to win market share through blood transfusion.
Sanyou Electronics, which is backed by Chunya's investment, is different.
The benefits brought by Biaowang Wave Road will be beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and in the early period when pirated CDs were not flooded, Sanyou Culture's CDs can also have a wave of opportunities.
In addition, with the popularity of BP machines, Cage Communications "prints money", and Chunya Investment also has dividends.
Therefore, Chunya Investment is in a state where hematopoiesis has been achieved.
The field of Songle investment is currently only the VCD industry.
And in this industry, how can the price of 3999 make the market really mature?
The price below 2000 is the time for VCD machines to really enter thousands of households.
Song Yang didn't take this matter to heart, but for the dealers who participated in the Sanyou Electronics Dealer Conference, this matter was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
Being in the midst of the times, they suddenly became uneasy.
Originally, the Phantom VCD, which had new features and was much cheaper, could have been a big opportunity.
Now, Wanyan VCD also has an error correction function, and the price is cheaper, which makes many people hesitate.
Wan Yan's press conference was held on the 10th, and the industry immediately smelled the bloody wind and rain about VCD machines.
Sanyou Electronics also uses colors, which seems to be just the publicity of their spokesperson Zhou Huiya in the mainland.
In Guangdong, Shanghai, Yanjing and several big cities, small singing clubs were held, and two radio programs were held, which is not useful.
Consumers still recognize the price.
After the league ended, Li Ping spent a full season and had more time.
Hearing about the current situation, he only knew how to say arrogantly: "Fight the price, fight the price, I will subsidize it!" ”
Duan Ping, who came back from Xiangdao, shook his head: "I agree with Song Yang's point of view. There is no need, if we suppress their short supply, our production capacity will not be able to keep up. The tape-out effect of the chip of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has been tested by Professor Wang, and there is no problem. Even if the goods are the same as the current chips, the first batch will have to wait until February to deliver. ”
After saying that, he smiled and took out the contract: "This money, it is better to invest it in joint development." Dual-disc movement, in collaboration with Sony. The quality of Philips' movements is now better, and Sony is also contending. New products are a way to compete. In the agreement we signed, we will exclusively supply it to us for the first year after the successful development. In the second and third years, we give priority to supply. ”
This is the result of Duan Ping running for nearly two months.
"The order meeting can use this to screen out dealers who really believe in us." Song Yang looked at the agreement and said, "Professor Wang, the improved chip is also being designed, if it is fast, I hope it will be taped out in March next year." In this way, we may be able to develop a truly new generation of products next summer. This money should be invested in expanding production capacity. ”
"It's worth noting Scooper." Duan Ping reminded, "It's a little strange. Although we got the authorization and didn't have to talk to them about the supply anymore, we still followed the same strategy as before, pretending that the tape-out didn't go well and asked them. Mr. Sun's tone was very tough, saying that no matter who it was, including those who had placed orders before, all of them were required to pay the full amount before arranging production. ”
"So hard?" Song Yang was surprised, "This is not conducive to them helping the VCD market scale and making more money." ”
If you let manufacturers put all the financial pressure on spare parts, won't the efforts to open up the market become smaller?
"I heard a rumor in Xiangdao." Duan Ping introduced, "Xiangdao's agents are only small customers. Originally, there were more and more manufacturers who took goods from them. Therefore, their contract renewal with Scober's side is also crucial. But this time, what they asked through the relationship was that Mr. Sgooper seemed to be talking about being acquired. ”
"Acquired?" Song Yang was shocked, "Scooper is now the only supplier, and Sun Yan is willing to be acquired?" ”
"If you give too much money, why wouldn't you want to?" Li Ru said, "It seems that this boss really wants to sell." Otherwise, why are you rushing to pay the full amount of the orders that have already been signed? The profits are divided first, and the company can be sold at a good price at that time. ”
“…… I'll ask! Song Yang felt that this matter was not simple, "If we change to a new owner, our licensing agreement must be counted, and we have a legitimate reason to ask!" ”
One crossed the phone and called, and Sun Yan was obviously woken up.
In response to Song Yang's direct question, Sun Yan said, "Mr. Song, your news is very well-informed." Rest assured, the agreement was signed by the company, how could it be torn up? ”
“…… Mr. Sun, is this true? Song Yang thought to himself that it was not necessarily, "I won't ask more about the reason why Mr. Sun decided like this." I just want to know, who is the buyer? ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Sun Yan sighed: "Mr. Song, I can't help myself." ”
Song Yang was surprised again.
Then, his expression became even more serious: "Mr. Sun, is it related to our participation in the meeting organized by MPEG and the fact that we got your authorized production agreement?" If so, then how can we be assured that the agreement will not be torn up? ”
When it comes to the big interests of the MPEG2 standard and patent pool in the future, if it is really those giants of other patent parties, Sun Yan, a Chinese American who has just risen in the United States, may not be able to withstand the pressure.
Song Yang didn't doubt the Gu family, how they are in China is a different matter, but in the United States is a completely different matter.
Sun Yan said to him with certainty: "It has nothing to do with that." It's not the big companies that come to talk to me. ”
"Maybe it's just a shell." Song Yang didn't dare to believe it, "Mr. Sun, when it comes to the life and death of our company, since you have decided to sell, you must be honest with me!" ”
"You have a formal agreement in hand, what are you afraid of?" Sun Yan was a little helpless, "The company has received the money." If the person who takes over tears up the agreement, you will win the lawsuit. Besides, even if they don't admit it, aren't you still the same producer and the same seller? You've got all the drawings, what are you afraid of? ”
“…… That's trouble, too! Song Yang insisted on asking these questions.
It's a bit paradoxical, wasn't Scober originally developed well? Why was he suddenly forced to be sold?
The call took a short time, and Sun Yan finally told the truth.
Song Yang, who hung up the phone, was speechless for a while.
“…… I never expected it, but it was because of that Gu Le. Song Yang's eyes were a little dazed, "That kid is not exactly a fool." ”
"What's the situation?" Li Ru suddenly glared, "The Gu family has such a great ability, and they can even manage the affairs of the United States?" ”
Song Yang shook his head: "It's not the Gu family, it's Gu Le himself." Sun Yan knows the Gu family, and now he has decided to sell the company, and he has told me some things before. Yang Zirong had used the Gu family's connections to lure him to further regard Wan Yan as his main customer, and asked him to reveal his cooperation with us. Of course, Sun Yan played a trick, but promised that he would not sell any more chips to us, and did not say anything about authorized production. ”
"Then what's going on with Gu Le himself?"
Song Yang said a little strangely: "Didn't he study in the United States?" His school is very good. Among the classmates, of course, there are some people with very unusual identities. This time, it can be regarded as a few second-generation people 'starting a business' together. With the help of the friends of the local councillor's father, coupled with Scober's position as the only supplier in the world of MPEG decoding chips, the money was almost given, and Sun Yan decided to accept it when he saw it. Anyway, he was only going to make a fortune and leave, and he didn't think about the MPEG2 decoding chip. ”
This is also because Sun Yan did not expect that the total shipment of VCD machines in the future will be 100 million yuan, otherwise how could he sell it with a mere 70 million US dollars today?
This number shows his own assessment of the total shipments of Scober's decoding chips, that is, about 10 million pieces.
After all, last year and this year combined, in fact, it has not exceeded 500,000 pieces, but next year's order volume has increased a little.
A piece earns more than 10 US dollars, and has already earned some of it, and there is local pressure, so it is regarded as a break to avoid disasters, and at the same time make friends with some real local wealthy families.
"His uncle, knowing that the Gu family is not dealing with our Sanyou Electronics, he still told you that he would not tear up the authorization agreement?"
“…… This time it was a mistake, but fortunately I got the drawings first. Song Yang was a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect that Gu Le to know how to play this hand, so he contacted a few classmates to do this together." Needless to say, he just planned to take down Scottber and not supply us at all. ”
"The Gu family pointed out, right?" Duan Ping frowned, "Although the drawings are already available, it may indeed be a trouble later." ”
"So Sun Yan later said that we can stand up to the lawsuit anyway, and we have already got the drawings." Although Song Yang said this, he was not relaxed, "We have to come up with our own chip design as soon as possible, and we are no longer bound by this licensing agreement." ”
If the local wealthy in the United States put pressure, although it is not at all the situation more than 20 years later, who knows that the foundry of Wanji will not be affected?
At present, the process technology of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is not at the forefront at all, but in this period, it is easier to stabilize the large market for the sake of the small market.
And once there is a crossover intellectual property dispute, Song Yang does not hope to get much support in China.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
At this moment, Gu Feng and Gu Song were also surprised by Gu Le's operation, and praised him a few words on the phone.
Gu Le was smug on the phone: "It's been negotiated." This time, you don't have to give me any extra money. Only a small part of the money taken out by several of our classmates together, and most of the money was borrowed through an asset management company, and the interest was almost negligible. ”
"Ah Le, okay, I didn't study in vain." Gu Song praised, "If you don't take it as soon as possible, that Sun Yan still wants to collect the payment in advance and leave." If he takes it early, this part of the dividend will not belong to him. ”
"And this?" Gu Le suddenly seemed to have lost his money, "Then I'll tell them quickly!" ”
Hanging up the phone, Gu Song was very relieved and said happily: "Ah Le has grown in!" ”
Gu Feng also smiled and nodded.
It's about making use of valuable network resources.
Moreover, although Song Le was involved in Wan Yan's affairs before, although he did not interfere, he could be regarded as having paid attention to Tao Bing and Yang Zirong's reports and knew some key information.
Scooper is now the only chip supplier, and winning this company is indeed making money lying down for his classmates and friends.
What's more, you don't have to pay much for yourself?
Under Wanyan's new action, Sanyou Electronics' dealer conference was not very bright.
Some people retreated, some people were firm, but after all, Sanyou Electronics' Phantom VCD began to be shipped to various places and was ready to go on sale.
In contrast, Wan Yan's order meeting at the end of the month was extremely popular.
At this time, Song Yang came to Guangdong Province.
Two things for this trip.
Go to the Sun God first, and then go to Xiangdao.
Song Yang brought two cassette tapes and a plan and walked into Huai Xinhan's office.
