Li Daqi asked Song Yuanchao what arrangements he had for the follow-up of Shenghua Electric.

After Da Liu's factory in Pengcheng was acquired by Shenghua, in addition to the previous order production, he also undertakes the production of Zhang Jian's products and its own brand of water dispensers, in addition to Shenghua Telecom's series of products, plus Shenghua computer's accessories production and computer assembly.

However, due to the large scale of Da Liu's factory, coupled with some old products, such as the shrinking export of electric fan products when Da Liu made his fortune, the factory has overcapacity, and the benefits are not ideal.

According to the requirements of Song Yuanchao, now Shenghua Electric is in charge of Li Daqi, and the overcapacity makes Li Daqi a headache.

"This is not in a hurry, for the time being, the current production will be maintained, and in a few months there will be new products involved, and then I will worry that it is not overcapacity but insufficient capacity."

"New products?" Li Daqi was stunned and asked Song Yuanchao: "You went to the United States this time and talked about electrical orders by the way?" What exactly is the product? Is our current assembly line suitable for production? ”

"Hehe, it's not accurate to say that it is an order, it is a revolutionary product, as for the assembly line, there should be changes, and I will determine after the specific year when I personally go to Shenghua Electric to see it." Song Yuanchao sold a pass, VCD's technology is still in the process of improvement, and this product will also involve patents in the future, considering the lesson of the eventual failure of this technology in the previous life, Song Yuanchao does not plan to disclose it now.

The reason why Song Yuanchao wants to sell Shenghua clothing, on the one hand, is because the development of Shenghua clothing has reached a bottleneck, and then the entire textile market will begin to decline, and it is no longer necessary for this business to continue to hold in his hands.

Taking advantage of the fact that textiles are still hot, it is most appropriate to dispose of this business. After dealing with Shenghua clothing, the company's focus is mainly on Shenghua electrical appliances in addition to telecommunication products and computer products.

How big is the VCD market, Song Yuanchao knows very well that this market is extremely huge both at home and abroad. Moreover, Shenghua has a unique meal when it has technology and patents, which can completely avoid the collapse of the market caused by the leakage of VCD technology and the lack of patents in history.

Historically, VCD products have rotten in a very short period of time after a short period of popularity, and the reasons are very complex. Among them, the lack of registered patents is one thing, and on the other hand, there are also multinational companies in Europe and the United States, including Japan, to encircle and suppress VCD.

Compared with these two products, VCD is not as good as the expensive laser disc in terms of video compression and playback, but it has considerable advantages compared with traditional videotapes.

What's more, the price advantage of VCD is very large, and the disc is more convenient to carry and store than the videotape, which is why it is sought after after an interview, so it is all the rage.

In later generations, many people often regret the actual creator Jiang Wanmeng when they comment on the short-lived product, thinking that although Jiang Wanmeng has vision and technology, he does not understand business and makes a big mistake in the unregistered patent.

It is precisely because of his big mistake that VCD was copied in large quantities after the interview, which made this market go downhill after a short period of glory. When the advent of DVDs with better technology, VCDs, a product with birth defects, were inevitably eliminated.

However, the facts cannot be commented on in this way, Jiang Wanmeng's lack of attention to patents is certainly a reason, but the encirclement and suppression of VCD technology by European and American companies, including Japan, is also more serious.

Because after the advent of VCD, the original high price of laser disc has become a chicken rib, except for the necessary professional occasions, ordinary people usually choose VCD products with a much lower price, so that laser disc technology is useless.

The technology patents of laser discs are mainly controlled in the hands of several large companies in Europe, America and Japan, and they rely on this technology to make huge profits every year.

In order to drive profits, they will inevitably suppress VCD, and the best way to suppress it is to directly make the market rotten, and then launch better technologies than VCD, such as DVD technology, so as to seize back the market.

Because the VCD's patents are not registered, these companies are even more unscrupulous.

Otherwise, how could the VCD market have changed so much in less than a year? Don't forget, even if many domestic manufacturers rush to produce VCD to disrupt the situation, they will not be able to produce VCD products without the decoders provided by foreign companies.

On the surface, it seems that it is just a shadow of ordinary commercial competition and patent registration loopholes, what is really hidden is the strangulation of this product by some large manufacturers. Even if Jiang Wanmeng registered the VCD patent at the beginning, those big manufacturers still won't let go of this product, after all, the core of VCD manufacturing, that is, the production of decoders is in the hands of these big manufacturers, not to mention that VCD technology is actually not complicated from a technical point of view, and it won't take much time to fully analyze this technology.

Jiang Wanmeng developed VCD technology based on the MPEG decompression technology of C-Cube in California, but that was more than a year later in history. Now, Song Yuanchao bought the technology just developed by C-Cube through the direct investment of the American company in advance, and improved this technology, which is the same as Jiang Wanmeng's approach in this regard.

However, compared with Jiang Wanmeng, Song Yuanchao will naturally not give up patents, not only VCD patents, but also MP3 patents.

Of course, the latter is currently unable to produce real commercial applications due to the limitations of storage devices and computer technology, but in the future, MP3 is a market with more potential than VCD.

In addition, because the technology is in the hands of American companies, after the VCD products are put on the market, it will be much more difficult for those large manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan to use the means to deal with Jiang Wanmeng to disrupt the market.

Song Yuanchao has also carefully considered this, and the VCD production of Shenghua Electric Appliances in the future will also use the patent authorization model for production. If European, American and Japanese manufacturers also want to enter this market, there is no problem, as long as you can afford to pay for patent licensing, Song Yuanchao does not mind making a fortune on patents.

But what Song Yuanchao thought more deeply about was to obtain some patents on DVD with stronger practicality through VCD's patents, so as to prepare for the transformation from VCD to DVD production in the future.

Although VCD is an epoch-making product, it is destined to be only a transitional product, and the vitality of the product will not be too strong.

Looking at Song Yuanchao's unfathomable appearance, Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo were extremely curious, what kind of product made Song Yuanchao so confident, but Song Yuanchao didn't say anything about the problem, and Song Yuanchao also clearly told them that this project is now the core project of the American company, and everyone involved in the project has signed a confidentiality agreement, even Song Yuanchao himself is no exception.

If they want to know, no problem, just follow the process as well.

After listening to Song Yuanchao's words, coupled with Song Yuanchao's clear telling them that the answer would be revealed in March at most, Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo suddenly lost the slightest interest in signing the confidentiality agreement, anyway, it didn't take long, so why bother to make such a trouble for yourself?

The three of them chatted for a long time in the study, and it was already evening when they were over.

Back in the living room, Luo Lin, Ying Caixia, Zheng Li, and Li Xiaoyun had already returned with their children, and they were talking to Lin Yan.

Song Yuan walked over to the three of them with a smile, sat down and chatted together, there was still a while before dinner, and the aunt at home had already gone to prepare.

As she was talking, Zheng Li's pager suddenly rang, she took out the pager from her bag and glanced at it, walked to the side and called back, but she didn't expect to hang up the phone in a hurry just after saying a few words on the phone, and the whole person's face was anxious.

"What's wrong?" Li Daqi hurriedly asked.

"Lihong just said that Xiaobei had an accident, and now she is in the hospital for emergency ......." Zheng Li said with a panicked expression.

"What's wrong? Also salvage? What's going on? ”

"I don't know, Lihong didn't make it clear on the phone, she just said that Xiaobei took a lot of medicine or something, and she didn't know anything else. Daqi, I need to rush back immediately. Zheng Li was so anxious that tears fell, she and Meng Lihong and Gu Bei were good friends who grew up, although Gu Bei had less contact with Zheng Li because of following Boss Cao in recent years, Zheng Li still regarded her as her best friend in her heart.

Now that she suddenly heard that something like this happened to Gu Bei, how could Zheng Li not be nervous?

Song Yuanchao and the others on the side also became nervous when they heard this, human lives are at stake, this is not a trivial matter.

Qin Zhengguo hurriedly said that he would drive Zheng Li to the airport now to see if there was the fastest flight back to Pengcheng. Song Yuanchao said that Qin Zhengguo's arrangement was reliable, so let Li Daqi not stay here, follow Zheng Li and go back immediately, it is more appropriate for Li Daqi to go with a man, as for the air ticket or something, don't worry, he immediately called to find a relationship and ask first, let them leave now, there is news Song Yuanchao left a message directly through the pager, and went directly to the counter to get the ticket when he arrived at the airport.

Li Daqi nodded without saying a word, and Qin Zhengguo drove them to the airport. Song Yuanchao also contacted the person in the fastest time, asked about the flight situation, took two tickets through the channel, and then sent a pager message to Li Daqi.

Hurry up, after arriving at the airport, Li Daqi took Zheng Li to get out of the car, and the two of them didn't bring any luggage, so they ran directly inside.

Qin Zhengguo lowered the window of the car and shouted at them, asking Li Daqi to call back after they arrived, Li Daqi didn't even have time to turn around, waved his hand backwards to show that he knew, and continued to run in briskly with Zheng Li.
