After talking to Costa, Xuluo invited him to dinner.

Although it cost more than $3,000 in total for the consultation, the teenager felt that it was well worth it.

During this time, he also asked for some additional information.

That is, there are many Chinese people in California, and there are also many Chinese elites who graduated from various prestigious universities.

Not only in Xiangjiang Treasure Island, but also in China.

Many of them work for major companies in the electronics industry.

Such as Apple, Dell, HP, Microsoft, IBM, etc.

This inspired another idea.

In the past year or so, Chen Xiyue has had good interpersonal relationships in Miguo, especially in the Chinese circle in California.

Therefore, Xuluo entrusted Chen Xiyue to ask those Chinese engineers whether there were computer-related talents, as well as talents about CD compression, storage, decoding and other technologies.

On the other hand, the best PC business right now is Dell.

Xuluo asked Buckman to pay attention to which real sales talent of Dell Company was, and whether he could poach him.

Certainly not now.

No matter what, you have to wait until your own side has your hands free, and then you have the energy to do this.

The so-called free hand refers to the fact that after the release of "Jurassic Park", the financial pressure was greatly reduced at that time, and there was energy to do the business of assembling computers.

I don't believe it anymore.

The same is the assembly of computers, that is, the basic labor-intensive industry, you are doing well, my Chinese people are not doing well?

Leave that aside.

In the afternoon, Xu Luo went to the recording studio to try the sound.

That's right.

Now the boy is almost crazy and poor, so he plans to record the "Lazy Song" he heard earlier.

It's simple, Sony Music, which acquired CBS Music, to be able to record and distribute.

In addition, Muneshi Shimizu, who is now in charge of Sony Music, is transferred from the Nippon headquarters, so there is no problem.

Although Sony's acquisition of Columbia may not have anything to be proud of in terms of film and television, and can only be led by the nose, but in terms of music, Sony Music is not weak at all.

In the past two years or so, although Sony Music has not launched any superstar figures, it has developed in a decent manner and its control has become stronger and stronger.

If Xuluo, a genius screenwriter, wants to say to others, I want to record a song, most of them will laugh and think that he is just playing with tickets and will not take it seriously.

But the Japanese are different.

There is no Japanese who doesn't like "Tokyo Love Story", and no Japanese who doesn't like "Sudden Love".

Muneshi Shimizu is also a person who has watched the videotape of "Tokyo Love Story" and listened to "Sudden Love", so he attaches great importance to Xuluo's desire to record an English song.

Even if everyone knows that Xuluo's timbre is not very good, at best, it is a studio level, but it can't stand the good songs sung by others.

Good lyrics.

Composing is better.

Qingshui Zongzhi, who came to the scene and listened to Xuluo singing "The Song of the Lazy Man" several times, smiled from ear to ear.

There seems to be a kind of magic to this song, the first time you listen to it, you may just feel the melody is light, but after listening to it more times, you will smile and sing it softly.

….

It is such an infectious song, and it is very different from the style of today's music scene, and it has a unique feeling.

If it's recorded, it must be good.

So Mr. Xuluo is really Mr. Xuluo, he can do everything so well!

Muneshi Shimizu made a decision on the spot, spending three days to help Xuluo record a CD of the song, and then another day to help record the MTV tape conceived by Xuluo.

Then in September, I took it to MTV TV to play the list,

Then it went on sale.

Regarding the results of "The Song of the Lazy Man", Shimizu Sozhi is more optimistic than Xuluodu.

On behalf of Sony Music, he signed a guaranteed contract with Xuluo for 1 million CD singles, and according to the model of Xuluo's lyrics, songs, and singing, his entire profit share is as high as 22%, which is just the same as that in Japan.

If such 1 million single records are sold, at the price of $20 per CD, Xuluo can get about $2 million in income.

Of course, the follow-up royalties, royalties, etc., add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and they can continue to be taken for many years.

If the sales reach 2 million or 3 million copies, it will be even more powerful, all kinds of income will skyrocket, and a single will bring tens of millions of dollars in revenue to Xuluo.

Although it is impossible to get 10 million US dollars at one time, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and they can replenish as much as they can.

For the next few days, Xuluo spent the next few days in the recording studio.

The production team here is more professional than that of Japanese benzene.

Sony has configured the best professional team for Xuluo, so their requirements for Xuluo singing are higher.

Even if they know that Xuluo is just a studio singer, and his real timbre is not good enough, they have to make Xuluo record perfectly.

As we all know, a single CD is not just one song, there are two or three versions, plus a pure music.

Even if Xuluo had "Sudden Love" as the foundation before, the feeling of recording English songs this time was still different, and it was very tossed.

It was expected to be three days, and it was added

In contrast, Xuluo's performance during the MTV recording process was very good, and the feeling of feeling made a group of musicians come to watch.

When they knew that MTV's creativity and actions were all thought of by Xuluo, they couldn't help but praise Xuluo for bringing the creativity of the screenwriter's story to MTV, which was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Oh, and by the way, in order to maintain the friendship of the black brothers, all of the MTV backup dancers in Xuluo invited black dancers.

……

When Xuluo came out of the recording studio, Chen Xiyue told him a good news.

Through a large number of Chinese connections, Sister Chen found a Chinese named Sun Yansheng who founded her own company in Silicon Valley, and he happened to be making film and television image decompression chips, also known as "MPEG chips".

The full name of MPEG technology is "MovisGroup", and the simple translation is "Moving Image Expert Group", which was developed by a special organization in 1988.

Therefore, the MPEG chip simply uses relevant professional technology to achieve the compression of film and television images.

It makes use of inter-frame compression encoding with motion compensation to reduce time redundancy.

….

DCT technology is used to reduce the spatial redundancy of images.

Entropy coding reduces statistical redundancy in information representation.

When all these conditions are met, then the image and audio can be stored on a CD at the same time, thus achieving a technical achievement that laser LD cannot achieve.

It's just that this MPEG chip is only said to have been developed, but it is only a laboratory success, and it is far from reaching the mass production stage, let alone commercial operation.

Xu Luo was very excited when he heard this, and quickly pulled Chen Xiyue to run towards Sun Yansheng's UBE.

"Sister, let me tell you, if we get this technology, it will be equivalent to a record company that holds CD technology in our hands, and we will eat and drink spicy food for the rest of our lives!" In the car, Xu Luo told Chen Xiyue: "As long as you can use MPEG technology to make movies into VideoptDi, referred to as VCD. Then the MPEG chip is mass-produced, made into a VCD machine, and then everyone plays the movie, as long as the VCD disc is put in, it can be simply played. You say such a good thing, will it be like a CD expelling a vinyl record, and just kill the tape?"

Chen Xiyue immediately understood: "You mean to make a VCD from a CD and then equip it with a VCD player like a video recorder...... These things, as long as we can get MEPG chips, we can do it?"

"Yes!"

Xuluo nodded.

Even China has occupied a huge market, and VCD must have a good future in foreign countries.

And foreign genuine protection is better, whether it is a VCD disc or a VCD machine, you can have a profit guarantee, don't worry about the patent being blatantly infringed - super error correction VCD machine, isn't it this kind of use theft. version of the VCD disc?

Do you give it a try abroad?

It's hell on earth to get caught!

"I see!"

Chen Xiyue let out a long breath, closed her eyes, and began to ponder.

Involving such a future industry of almost billions or tens of billions of dollars, she has to be cautious and have to think about it clearly.

In what way to treat Sun Yansheng, and how can he achieve his goals...... All of this needs to be planned in advance and the various reactions of the other party can be considered before the actual operation of the negotiation.

Silicon Valley is not in Los Angeles, but south of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Lazy people don't want to wait for this time, so they generally don't go by car, but by plane.

Anyway, these short-range planes are available at any time, especially since Los Angeles and San Francisco are among the top two big cities in California, so basically you will have a flight when you arrive at the airport.

In this way, two hours later, Xu Luo and Chen Xiyue arrived at UBE Company.

UBE's company is still relatively small, only renting a floor in a remote place, at least twenty or thirty years old, about five or six hundred square meters.

Among them, the laboratories of R&D institutions occupy most of them, and in the rest of the large rooms, the boss Sun Yansheng only has a cubicle.

Sun Yansheng, who was in his forties, was very happy to see the two coming.

While making tea for the two of them, he said, "Hey, Mr. Chen, Luo Shao, don't look at me as a second-generation Chinese, in fact, I like to watch Hong Kong films and watch our own Chinese movies and TV series!" Such as "The Saint of Gambling", "Huang Feihong", "Slaying the Wolf", "Smiling Proud Jianghu - The East is Undefeated", ...... I've seen them all!

….

But I never expected that Luo Shao and Mr. Chen actually started their own business in Hollywood! Now who of us Chinese doesn't know "Friends", "Plastic Surgery Room" and "The Walking Dead"? When we go out, we are Chinese, and foreign veterans will give us a thumbs up!

Originally, I had a friend of Japan, and I used to look down on the mainland, but as soon as I said that our Luo Shao was from China, not from Xiangjiang Treasure Island, he immediately changed his view of the mainland!

Because he likes "Tokyo Love Story" like crazy, he can sing "Sudden Love" upside down! At the same time, he also likes Laura in "Tomb Raider", and has bought more than 20 dolls of all kinds!

What is it? This is the country and influence that Luo Shao also played in Japan! If I have the chance, I will definitely go and see what the Japanese drama you produce is like? It is said that the new one is called ...... It's pretty popular!"

Xuluo originally thought that people who were engaged in technology were otaku who didn't like to talk.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yansheng crackled and said as soon as he came up, and he was a little dazed when he heard it.

But that's a good thing.

Because of his enthusiastic attitude towards Xuluo and Chen Xiyue, it means that the next negotiations are easier to negotiate.

We Chinese people talk about business differently from foreigners, no matter how good the foreigner's personal relationship is with you, when it comes to the negotiation table, whether to quarrel or quarrel, whether to bargain or bargain.

As long as the relationship between the Chinese people is good, then it is easy to discuss at the negotiating table.

As the saying goes, if you want to do business, you must be a person first, and this is what you say.

Chen Xiyue drank water and looked at the surrounding environment.

There are probably five or six employees here, and the rest are probably experimenting

The room is busy, but the scale of the whole company should not be large, and even the value of carrying UBE should not be very high.

After listening to Xuluo talk about the possibility that VCD is likely to replace the videotape, Chen Xiyue immediately thought of the grievances suffered by the Bubu Stitching Monster on Blockbuster, so his heart to win the VCD project became more and more firm.

Xu Luo and Sun Yansheng chatted for a while, and then Chen Xiyue spoke: "Mr. Sun, I entrusted Brother Zhang to deliver the news to you before, I don't know if you have received it?"

"I heard what Lao Zhang said."

Sun Yansheng turned around and said, "He said that you took a fancy to the MPEG chip technology I just made, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xiyue bowed his head and said, "I don't know what you mean here?"

Sun Yansheng thought for a moment, then smiled, "What do you mean? Or, how are you going to buy it?"

Chen Xiyue said without hesitation, "That's the case...... You know that our Xiaoluo is a genius, he is sensitive to many things, so he accidentally saw that there is a compression, transmission, and decompression technology like MPEG, and he feels that there is a lot to be done.

He believes that if MPEG chips are put into commercial use, then ptDi, referred to as VCD, can be directly used, and then actively make every TV series and movie into VCD discs, which can defeat the videotape and become the new hegemon of the rental storage market!"

Xuluo was smiling on the side, actually a little stunned in his heart.

Sister, are you so biao?

I told you, you told Sun Yansheng everything, he still has to talk to our lion?

….

Sun Yansheng obviously didn't expect Chen Xiyue to say this, saying it so bluntly, simply and domineeringly.

VCD！？

Replace videotapes?

How earth-shattering is this?

He was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, your frankness and sincerity really make me not know what to say!"

After a pause, Sun Yansheng said, "Actually, I originally wanted to tell you that this technology has just been developed, and there are no examples of application at all, so I can only say sorry to you, we still need further research!"

Chen Xiyue asked after a while, "So what about now?"

"Now I want to tell you......" Sun Yansheng's smile retracted, "You are welcome to cooperate with us!" Let's develop this market together!!"

Seeing Sun Yansheng's reply, Zi Xuluo suddenly realized.

It's still my sister who is amazing!

She didn't care to use any tricks to deceive her, but negotiated with Sun Yansheng frankly, and used practical actions to let him know that her side was sincere to cooperate.

As for leaking the secret of VCD, there is nothing to hide in front of Sun Yansheng!

He has made MPEG chips, and it won't be long before he can figure out this VCD and enter this market.

Now that we say it in advance, it is as if we are opening his mind, giving him a major inspiration to break through the fog!

Don't underestimate this kind of inspiration, sometimes the most lacking thing in invention and creation is such a flash of inspiration and anchoring direction!

With just such a small inspiration, it can immediately make a scientist do great things!

Therefore, Sun Yansheng not only wants to accept Chen Xiyue's love for telling him about the future of VCD, but also for the research direction of this VCD.

The combination of the two made Sun Yansheng subconsciously choose to believe in Xuluo and Chen Xiyue.

From now on, the cooperation between the two of them is not a deception, but two honest friends are discussing cooperation and discussing how everyone can cooperate together for a win-win situation.

Then, Xuluo and Chen Xiyue's cloth stitching monsters are famous in North America, and they are famous for making money and have a large amount of income.

This gave Sun Yansheng the illusion that they could use their money to make a joint venture with their own technology, and so on

Quickly get the market up and running.

Of course, this is what Xuluo considered.

What he thought, the boy didn't know.

Chen Xiyue didn't know, but she still had to ask: "We rushed over as soon as possible, so naturally we cooperated sincerely!" Mr. Sun, do you want to listen to our cooperation plan first, or do you have a plan to consider?"

"I didn't even think about how to cooperate with you just now, how can I have a plan?" Sun Yansheng raised his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, let's talk first!"

Chen Xiyue was also polite, and said, "I mean, you find a company to make an overall assessment of the future VCD market, and then according to the production value of the first three years, we will use cash to invest 50%, and you will use technology and research and development to take shares, how about it?"

"An assessment is not necessary." Sun Yansheng shook his hand and said, "They say that the market can reach $100 billion, $1,000 billion, can I still believe it?

Besides, these technologies are actually being developed by Sony, Panasonic, Texas Instruments, IBM, etc., and I'm just one step ahead, so it's hard to say how long they will last!"

….

Chen Xiyue was surprised: "You mean that MPEG chips will soon be replaced by better technology chips?"

"Not necessarily soon, but technology always has to evolve, and our small company naturally can't match the R&D capabilities of large companies." Sun Yansheng said: "Besides, I don't lie to you, our MPEG chip, in fact, one-third of the technology belongs to other people's patents, if you want to authorize the use, you have to talk to others!"

Xuluo nodded.

That's normal.

You say that other large companies have not developed it, and you have developed it all by yourself from beginning to end, which is also nonsense.

In addition to Intel's self-developed chips, other chip technologies have never said which one can do it alone!

"Uh-huh......

Chen Xiyue probably understood what Sun Yansheng meant, "Actually, I also like to work with people like Mr. Sun! You've been honest with us, so we all have a genuine basis for cooperation."

"That's it."

Sun Yansheng also smiled and said, "In this way, I will have a meeting with the technical backbone of our company, and we will talk about the value of the company. They are also minority shareholders of our company, and if everyone is satisfied, this subsequent development will be smoother, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xiyue said: "It is not easy for us Chinese to be outside, and they are spread by them as if the Chinese who go abroad are all cheating their own people! Now I hope to cooperate with you, Mr. Sun, and we will work together to get this cause out and show them bigger and stronger! When we Chinese go abroad, we can also make a profit!"

"Yes!"

Sun Yansheng slapped his face, "Mr. Chen, my parents will be very happy if they hear what you say!"

It can be seen that Sun Yansheng has a pair of good parents.

It is their tireless education of their children that Sun Yansheng will be in such a state of spirit and spirit as he is now.

Otherwise, Sun Yansheng would be in a different state - full of ABC, full of values from the Mi country, and it is incompatible with Chinese people, let alone any cultural and inheritance resonance.

Many overseas Chinese are able to not forget their roots, because their parents and grandparents have been educated and passed down from generation to generation.

"The money can be discussed." Chen Xiyue emphasized, "But when we cooperate, we hope that we can still guarantee 50% of the cooperation share, which is a guarantee for you and the same for us!"

"I know, it makes sense." Sun Yansheng has no opinion.

After all, investors are afraid that the technical side will get rid of them when they have money, and the technical party is also afraid that the investor will eliminate them once they have a controlling stake.

So a 50% to 50% share is the most appropriate.

That's where the potential fits

Evenly matched partners.

Xu Luo also opened his mouth at this time, "Mr. Sun, if you have no opinion, I will first put the VCD machine and VCD disc factory in Huaguo...... With China's huge human and material resources, I believe that not only will the production cost be reduced, but the production speed will also be greatly improved, which is enough to meet the large demand at home and abroad."

Sun Yansheng was slightly startled.

Then he smiled: "This is the same as Luo Shao, you are doing an instant noodle factory in China, right? Always want to do something for the people in your hometown, buy a little bit of their things, and then find them a job to do?"

Xuluo smiled: "I can't think of the instant noodle factory, and foreign countries know about it."

"Good things are always known to everyone, including your mobilization of all instant noodles to support the affected areas at any cost...... Sun Yansheng sighed, "My hometown is in that area, and my parents have given me the opportunity to say thank you after hearing about you...... Thank you, Luo Shao!"

"You're welcome, everyone is a family, naturally one side should be in trouble, and all sides should support!" Xuluo Zhengse responded, "This is the tradition of our Chinese Kuo people!"

"Yes!"

Sun Yansheng's face had an inexplicable brilliance: "The fine tradition passed down by our ancestors can't be thrown away wherever we go!!"

……

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the New Year!
