The third question asked by Xuluo was VCD.

He was smart and didn't say the name VCD directly, because now the name hasn't appeared.

He asked if there was a technology that could record on a CD.

"Yes!"

Costa replied first, and then said to Xuluo with emotion: "Mr. Xu, a genius like you, if you were born in the country of Mi and came into contact with these technologies in advance, where else would anyone else have anything to do? Today you are definitely one of the biggest giants in the electronics industry! There's no need to waste time in the entertainment industry."

As an electronics engineer with a double Ph.D., Costa is confident in his intelligence.

But compared to Xuluolai, he knew that he still had a big gap.

At least he didn't write scripts at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and everyone was very good, whether it was comics, TV series or movies, they were all at his fingertips.

Now, through Xuluo's consultation on the electronic technology industry, he is keenly aware that Xuluo has had some research and has a positive desire to explore.

The desire to know is the first initiation condition for invention and creation.

If Xuluo was born in the country of Mi, then Xuluo could have experimented, explored, and put these desires into practice very early.

In this way, with the ingenuity of Xuluo, it is very likely that a lot of good things have been made and promoted the development of the world's electronics industry.

It's a pity that Xuluo has only begun to seriously explore this aspect now, and most of his energy is still focused on script creation and making movies, so where did he get the time to enter the electronics industry.

Now it seems that all of Xuluo's inquiries are just for the exploration of the possibility of using electronic technology in the entertainment industry.

For example, the previous computer operating system and software development, isn't this the reason for the software required for various special effects?

and the current film and television CD burning technology, which should also be for his movies and TV series to have a better carrier, so that more people can watch it - it seems that he doesn't know that the entertainment giants of Miguo have long had plans in this regard.

It's a pity!

It would be nice if he put his desire for electronic technology on life, study, and work, instead of wasting it on the entertainment industry!

Xuluo didn't know that he had been misunderstood, and he was a little inexplicable: "Mr. Costa, these are my hobbies, and I don't deserve your compliment. Let's talk a little bit more about electronics!"

Costa smiled and nodded, "There's actually a technology that burns all the video and sound on discs, and it's been popular in the market for a long time."

Xuluo was shocked, the VCD has come out?

No, it won't!

I watched it at those electronics stores and at the video rental places, and there were no VCDs, only video tapes!

Costa didn't sell it either, and continued, "This kind of thing is LD, which is actually an analogue storage technique. Then there is a special laser DVD player that uses a laser to read the pre-recorded signal on the disc and convert it into an image signal for TV playback, which is the LD used for your karaoke singing in Asia."

He also made a gesture: "The CD is so big, but the LD is so big...... It's five or six times as much!"

….

Xuluo breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it has an official name, LD is not a predecessor to VCD.

And the VCD must not be that big, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to use at home.

He then asked his doubts, "LD is so big, no one wants it to be smaller?"

"No."

"The reason it's so big is that you have to store a lot of film and video information, otherwise you won't be able to burn it if you don't have enough space," Costa said.

"In that case, then why isn't it popular here in Mi Country?" "I don't see much of this kind of LD saucer."

"There are a lot of disadvantages to what LD stores." Costanay

Xin's explanation, "First of all, it is so large now, but it only stores those karaoke tapes, if it is a movie of about 90-120 minutes, its size is not enough, at least it has to be increased by three or five times, such LD discs, how can there be a normal family like?

And then LD is stored by analogy...... Well, you don't need to know too much, you just need to know that this technology is not enough to reproduce the image and sound, and the effect is often mediocre, and it is unstable, not even half of the videotape, and consumers naturally don't like it."

Xuluo slowly bowed his head: "If someone reduces the LD and then processes the picture and sound better, then this technique will definitely be very popular!"

"Of course!"

Costa nodded without thinking, "Just last year, the Advisory Board of the Minguo Film Industry drafted a proposal on behalf of the major film production companies in Hollywood, and one of them was the one you mentioned, they wanted to record a standard 135-minute program in a single CD, and required image and sound quality higher than LD.

Now the major technology manufacturers have also actively begun to discuss and research on this aspect of technology, once they have researched it, this is a steady stream of valuable wealth! It's a lot more profitable than a videotape!"

Xuluo's heart jumped: "So have they made progress?"

"Not yet, but they're working on the Sony you're familiar with." Costa said, "You can go and ask for more inside information."

"Good!"

Xuluo laughed.

In fact, his heart kept sinking.

It seems that I'm not the only one who is smart.

Everyone knows the vast future scenario of VCD, who will be willing to share it with others after it is developed?

I don't have any technology accumulation, nor do I have any invention patents, so why should I share the results with others?

If it were Sony, Sony wouldn't do it.

Just by your mouth, what should VCD be like in the future? Then Sony will bow down and give you tens of millions of dollars in intelligence purchase costs?

!

Sony is not a philanthropist, and it is impossible to be emotional about big things, and it must abide by business principles.

The boy was slightly melancholy.

It seems that the road to getting rich by buying VCD technology is not going to work.

But he asked again, "What's so difficult about this technique?" Is it burned on a CD? Or do you want to make a machine to play it?"

Costa thought for a moment and said, "It's not hard to burn on a CD, but it's hard to put so much video and sound data on such a small disk...... Either compression technology, or increasing CD capacity technology, these are theoretically possible.

….

As for the machine that plays it...... This has to do with the technology you use to process this new type of video CD! With the corresponding technical processing, there is naturally the corresponding technology reflected in the playback machine, just like the CD player."

"I see!"

Xuluo began to ponder.

In the later "Big Names", the selling point is not the VCD disc, but the VCD machine, which proves that no matter how the VCD is made, as long as the VCD machine can be done well, you can make money.

Well, let's only see if we can get this technology in advance and then get the authorization to make money by producing machines!

While the lion's share must have been earned by licensed developers, I was able to make a fortune as well.

It would have been better if it had been developed by Sony, and it would have been easier for me to get permission to produce it in China.

To assemble and assemble electronic products, Huaguo still has a lot of technical advantages, and it has the advantage of labor costs!

Well?

Wait a minute.

Xuluo suddenly thought of personal computers.

Some time ago, I learned about the personal computers of Dell, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard and other companies, plus I heard about Jobs's first business, but they are all patchwork computers.

They put the computers together and put them together and sold them.

If they can do this in Mi, why can't I do it in Huaguo?

The labor, production lines, parts, etc. of our country are much cheaper than those of Miguo!

Xu Luo immediately asked, "Mr. Costa, according to what we just discussed, the most famous Dell company is the production of Dell computers, but this Dell computer and Apple computer are definitely not the same thing, right?"

"Dell computers?"

Costa looked dismissive, "It deserves to be called a computer? It's just a matter of stacking components to become a assembled computer, something like that Steve Jobs did fourteen years ago. Not to mention Dell, even Compaq, Hewlett-Packard and other companies, they are just cheap assembled computers, and there is no comparison at all."

"But you can't deny that these miscellaneous computers have taken over the mainstream of the market, forcing Apple to retreat step by step, right?"

"yes!"

Costa sighed and said, "This is a typical example of bad money driving out good money! Microsoft's INDOS system is also very responsible for this! Without this open-source, haphazardly sold desktop operating system, it would be impossible for a miscellaneous computer to successfully attract customers!"

Xuluo asked, "Cheapness is also one of the aspects?"

"Of course!"

"They're two-thirds, or even half the price of Apple computers, and a lot of people who want to buy them don't pay attention to features and software," Costa said. In fact, using a computer like this is just as boring as playing with a calculator, and you can't appreciate the charm of a computer at all!"

The boy slowly figured out the dagger, "According to what you say, it's not just companies like Dell, Compaq, and HP that can make assembled computers, right? Am I able to do the same in China?"

"In China?"

….

Costa smiled dumbly, "How is this possible? Do you know how much these electronic components cost? Ordinary Chinese people can't afford to buy a minimum computer without eating or drinking for three years, right? Not to mention the INDOS operating system, do you know how much it is? That's the equivalent of a year's salary for a Chinese person."

Xuluo was a little surprised, "Hey, how do you know so much about the salary of the Chinese people?"

"Many of my classmates at Harvard are Chinese, and many of my peers are Chinese, and they told me," Costa said.

Oh.

It seems that there are still a lot of outstanding talents in Huaguo.

The young man smiled, "You're right, it seems that it is not possible to sell computers in China."

"Of course!"

Costa was quite proud: "If Huaguo wants to achieve the current standard of living and social development of Miguo, it will have to struggle for at least 100 years!"

Bah!

Xuluo smiled and shook his head, naturally MMP in his heart.

If there is a chance after 17 years, I will definitely take you to Beijing to have a look, so that you can take back your current arrogance!

At the same time, Xuluo naturally wouldn't tell Costa that I want to buy and sell computers, not to sell computers in China.

Don't you think that a computer costs thousands of dollars at every turn, and the people of Miguo are also very hard?

The meaning of my question is that I want to assemble it in China and send it to Mi to sell!

It's just assembling the parts, who is the hard job to do?

As long as the supply chain can be solved, I will be able to rely on assembling computers to kill the Miguo market next year!

If it can sell well like Dell, Compaq, and HP, won't my financial problem for filming movies and TV series be solved!?
