I had a plain sleep with the little queen last night.

After all, she hadn't fully recovered, and Xuluo wasn't so anxious.

However, Xuluo didn't expect that Kaninghan would also come to Riben.

Kaningham is now the busiest person to invest in the future, and he has to run around Rongcheng, Namwan, South Korea, Mikook, and so on, either for production or sales.

But when I came to Japan, there were still very few benzene.

He also came to Japan to find out that his boss was also here.

So he made an appointment with Xuluo for breakfast.

No way, people are very busy, and they can only find this time to talk about things.

"I'm here to negotiate buying a DVD patent, and at least it needs to be licensed." Kaningham said to Xuluo.

「DVD？」 Xuluo was surprised.

"Well, specifically, it's better video technology than VCDs." "We all know that the coating layer of VCD is relatively thin, and each D may be played about 100-200 times, and there may be stuttering, blurred screens, etc.

The DVD technology is more mature, and it also has better MPEG decoding function, image restoration function, and larger storage space. So it's definitely going to replace VCDs altogether."

Xuluo was even more stunned, "Then why hasn't the DVD been released now?"

It doesn't make sense.

Obviously, after at least five or six years, VCDs are the mainstream of the Chinese market, when did a DVD pop up?

Although the technologies and functions you mentioned must be upgraded versions of VCDs, they haven't been said in the movie!

If you don't say it's certain, it means that after five or six years, DVD still hasn't entered the market, at least it hasn't affected VCD sales at all, otherwise people spend so much money on advertising, wouldn't it be a loss?

Carningham replied, "The direction of DVD is different now, and it is far from the standard that can be used in real combat. One is the multimedia CD (MMCD) of Sony and Philips, and the other is represented by Toshiba and Panasonic to jointly launch the SD (SuperDi) specification, and the technology of the two R&D camps is incompatible."

"You mean, in the future, DVDs will have two different modes?" "Will they wait until they fight for a winner before they start entering the market and replace VCDs?" It's like a videotape?"

There were also two types of videotape mode before, and the battlefield also took place in Japan.

JVC invented the VHS format and released the first video recorder, the HR-3300, to the consumer market in October 1976.

But as it happens, Sony introduced the Betax home videotape before 1975, which is two completely different modes from VHS, which are not compatible with each other.

Betax tapes are smaller than VHS tapes and provide clearer images.

However, in 1984, there were 40 companies using VHS and only 12 using Betax, which is a bit embarrassing, proving that everyone voted with their feet and chose the local VHS format of Japanese benzene.

[In view of the general environment,

Eventually, Sony finally admitted defeat and began producing VHS recorders in 1988, thus unifying the standard for videotapes.

Since then, video tapes have grown by leaps and bounds, and have become an indispensable item for film and television fans around the world.

This time period is as long as ten years, and Xuluo thinks that DVD should also do this, so as to give VCD a chance to make a lot of money?

"Not necessarily."

But Kanningham shook his head: "What if they reconcile? It is precisely because of the entanglement of the videotape that they can reconcile and make a common standard together! When the time comes, three or five years will be enough for them to lay out and start developing! I've asked the professionals that once the DVD is in, the VCD won't be viable at all."

"Then can we still find C-CUB?"

Company E, let them continue to develop the patent for the DVD?"

Kaningham looked disdainful: "They can do a! Now one by two are starting to prepare to lie down and collect money! Technological development has come to a complete standstill! This is a group of people who are similar to Wang An's computer company! Instead of counting on them, we should buy them ourselves!"

Xuluo also understands this.

Last time, Sun Yansheng mentioned this matter himself, saying that the atmosphere of the company has completely changed.

According to the current crazy sales model of VCD, they have 50% dividend rights, so in three or five years, everyone can financially self-sufficient. By not working anymore.

In this case, it is unlikely that you will ask them to study hard.

But what Xuluo didn't expect was that in the case of the threat of DVD, they were still so unenterprising, which was a bit unbelievable.

The next moment, the young man muttered, "How many patents are you going to buy?" Is it a full set? Or are you going to get a patent?"

"Patent grants are not very reliable, and they are still subject to others." "I'm going to buy more patents and put them together, so that we can also be called insiders of the patent union," Kaningham said. If possible, I would also like to acquire a few small R&D companies and get their patents."

"Yes!"

Xuluo nodded.

Since VCDs are so popular, the upgraded version of DVD will definitely occupy a lot of shares in the future.

How thriving is the videotape market today?

In the future, even if DVD is only half of it, it will be an industrial chain of hundreds of billions of dollars!

"But these Japanese benzene manufacturers are as stubborn as cattle, how do you buy their patents?" Xuluo asked again, "Buying their entire company is too complicated and expensive, isn't it?"

"Come and try your luck, there are those small manufacturers who can't support themselves under the financial crisis, and it's not impossible to get a chance by selling patents!" "Right now, we're in contact with two or three companies in Miguo...... You also know that the people of Mi can basically sell anything as long as your price is right, including their wives."

Xuluo smiled.

Cunningham is still quite humorous.

However, this also illustrates the problems of the commercial society of Miguo.

They only have commercial disputes, which are much weaker on the moral level.

It's not a good state in a society where money comes first.

As far as Japanese benzene is concerned, Japanese benzene has the constraints of Confucianism, and it is a bit measured to do things in their country.

But as Kaningham said, the general environment is like this, after the collapse of the bubble economy, many small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan can actually not be sustained.

In this case, it is really not impossible for them to sell a little of their patents and survive with their tails cut off.

"We need to take advantage of the fact that the two camps are pitting each other to acquire these patents as soon as possible." Cunningham added, "By the time they showed signs of uniting, it was too late."

"Hmm."

Xuluo thought for a moment and asked, "Are there many types of these patents?"

"Many, and very complicated." "In addition to image conversion chip technology, there are at least hundreds of electronic device conversions, audio companies, various technology patents, etc."

"It's complicated!"

The boy sighed with emotion, and suddenly said, "You said that if C-CUBE doesn't carry out follow-up development of MPEG, can we buy this follow-up development right, and then use it to gain more initiative?" This image conversion patent should still be inescapable by DVD, right?"

"You can think about this!" Kaningham's eyes lit up, "The small company I want to buy happens to have such technology research and development capabilities, and the team members are very young and very motivated!"

After thinking about it carefully, Kaningham became more and more happy, "Yes! That's it! If only we could have in that regard

If we do, then the DVD Alliance can't do without us!"

"Now what you have to think about is how to make Sun Yansheng give up the development rights of MPEG and completely buy out the follow-up development rights."

"It's okay, what they like most is money, and it's great that we can bid a little higher." "They don't want it anyway, plus we have a 50% interest in MPEG, which is also ours!"

He pondered here, and Xuluo didn't interfere anymore.

The specific affairs are left to this professional.

The young man was concentrating on breakfast, and it took a while for Kaningham to come back to his senses, and while eating, he said to Xuluo: "Boss, Sony is a big patent on DVDs, they have more than 20 patents, maybe we will have to deal with them for a long time in the future."

"Don't think that I'm on good terms with Nobuyuki Idei, and they'll work well with us." Xuluo shook his hand, "The Japanese people are very cunning in business, and they won't make much concessions because of their feelings. Only when we are equal will they cooperate honestly."

Cunningham had been in the workplace for thirty years, and he certainly knew the tricks involved.

Listening to Xuluo say such sober words in the world, he couldn't help but feel very relieved.

The boss is such a sober person, then it is not easy to be deceived.

It's not like my previous boss, Dr. Wang An, when he gets older, he only likes to listen to good words, and he is very stubborn, always thinking that he is the most correct one, so he has caused the current situation of bankruptcy and liquidation.

Of course, Xuluo is very clear about his identity and status, as well as the situation he is currently in.

In fact, the cooperative relationship between Sony and Xuluo is good, but if you take a closer look at it, you will find that most of it is Xuluo who is putting in the effort, and then Sony gives him something in return.

Whether it is money or other help, Sony definitely does not pay its core interests, more is just a monetary reward.

This kind of cooperation is far from reciprocal, let alone mutually beneficial.

To put it bluntly, whether it is Akio Morita or Nobuyuki Idei, they appreciate the genius ability of Xuluo more than they see him as an equal cooperation ally - Xuluo is far from worthy of being compared to Sony.

Even if Xuluo now has a net worth of $20 billion, Sony's behemoth is at least a supergiant worth more than $500 billion.
