Chapter 187: Courtesan

1 December, 1994. This is an ordinary day in many people's lives.

But at the Peninsula Hotel in Central, there is a special press conference today.

"Format and Technical Specifications of Single-sided and Double-layer 12cm High-Density Multimedia CD" was jointly developed and launched by Toshiba, BBK and Philips, and the first high-density CD standard was officially released here.

The reason why we chose to release this first standard today is also because BBK knew in advance that Sony will release a new DVD standard on December 16th.

After more than a year of multi-party layout, the competition for DVDs has begun to heat up. It is different from the original VCD standard and backgammon.

If you don't work with several other parties. In the original space-time, Sony will be the one that dominates the DVD. After all, Sony's technical reserves in CD are far from being comparable to several others.

Only this time, there is the addition of the outlier of backgammon. After the alliance of many parties, Sony took a step forward and launched a new DVD standard.

"Smack~!" Kutara Kiken, who was far away in Tokyo, directly smashed the ashtray in front of his subordinates.

In the battle for DVDs, Sony has always been ahead of several other parties. The reason why he swore at the beginning and said that he wanted to stabilize backgammon was also because he knew that Sony had an absolute advantage in the formulation of DVD standards.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Toshiba would cooperate with backgammon. What made him even more angry was that he hadn't received any news before.

And let them themselves release the latest standard specifications half a month in advance.

"President, will the release on the 16th of this month continue to be implemented?" After waiting for ten minutes, he didn't get the next instruction from Kutara Mujian, and the project leader could only ask cautiously with a cheeky face.

Kutara Mujian, who was already hovering on the verge of anger, stared at the project leader for a long time with a pair of slender eyes, and then spit out two words with difficulty.

"Go on!" The DVD project is about the next phase of Sony's future. Sony has been in control since the CD.

Although it jointly launched the CD standard with Philips back then, Sony is the one who has really taken the initiative in the application of CD over the years.

It doesn't matter if it's a CD record or an MD player. Sony has relied on these technical standards to make enough profits in various fields.

However, this time on DVD, Sony, which has always been invincible, was actually overtaken by its opponent.

The most shameful thing is that this mistake actually appeared in his own hands. You know, within Sony, it is also divided into many factions.

Norio Oga, the second-generation head of Sony and the father of CD, has now reached the age of choosing a successor.

The reason why the DVD project was handed over to him in the first place is also regarded as a kind of inheritance of rights within the company.

If he can grasp the opportunity, then it will become logical to take over the inheritance and become the next head of Sony.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Huaguo company, which he had always looked down on, actually ruined his good deeds at the last moment.

The reason why he turned his anger to BBK was because he knew that Toshiba, as an old rival, would not be able to launch the data standard of DVD by himself even with the help of JVC.

Now that they can get a head start, the problem must be in backgammon. As the first company to launch VCD, BBK has proven itself in R&D capabilities.

In particular, their latest MP3 has added the new DTS5.1 surround sound technology.

This kind of audio technology is exactly what Toshiba lacks most on DVD discs. Now that they can launch the standard of DVD so quickly, it is self-evident how much technical assistance BBK provides.

It's just that now, it's not his time to dwell on those, Sony is already one step behind on DVD.

He must not fail, he must catch up. In the battle for DVDs, Sony definitely can't afford to lose.

Xiangjiang, The Peninsula Hotel, DVD Standard Celebration Banquet. Although the organizer of this dinner is Toshiba, the focus of the audience is Chu Qing from backgammon.

Unlike the outside world speculation, Toshiba is the dominant DVD. JVC and Syntech, who really know the insider, know that their alliance was able to launch the DVD standard so quickly.

Backgammon is that key factor. Even without their participation, at most in half a year, BBK can launch its own DVD format standard.

If it weren't for this cooperation, they wouldn't have known that in the research of DVD, backgammon has been quietly carried out for three years.

If it weren't for Sony's step-by-step pressing, backgammon wouldn't have needed to cooperate with them at all. It is also thanks to Sony that several of their other companies have a chance to enter the game.

As long as you know a little about this industry, everyone knows what kind of market DVD applications will have in the future.

The specification standard of DVD is no longer simply a standard. There are huge interests involved behind it.

Who would have thought that Huaguo, which is backward in their opinion, would actually produce such a semiconductor company, and it only took a few years to catch up.

What's more, his founder is still so young. Among a group of forty or fifty-year-old business managers, Chu Qing, who is only 23 years old, can definitely be regarded as standing out from the crowd.

"Michele, that person is the boss behind backgammon." In the corner of the banquet, Li Jiaxin, who had been searching for prey, was closely watching Chu Qing's every move with his agent.

"I didn't expect him to be quite handsome." Jiaxin subconsciously tightened her legs, and her eyes were like a hunting lioness, already locking on to her prey.

In the past two years, BBK has not only received various attention in the electronics industry. Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is also very curious about him.

Especially its behind-the-scenes boss, Chu Qing. Last year, when "The Voice of China" was broadcast in Xiangjiang for the first time, the name Chu Qing spread in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

Whether it is the eldest brother Jackie Chan or the crooked Li Zongsheng, they are full of praise for him. Even Jiahe and Yongsheng, who are at odds, have good admiration for him.

After all, it can make Hong Kong films in Xiangjiang have one more formal channel, and this kind of thing that benefits the entertainment industry is not less done by backgammon.

It's just that he has been doing a good job of protection. The Xiangjiang tabloid offered a reward of 100,000 yuan, but failed to buy a positive photo of him.

The outside world only knows that the chairman of BBK is called Chu Qing, and he is a very young man. As for the appearance and family affairs, everyone knows nothing.

However, behind the scenes, many people agree with a saying that this Chu Qing is definitely from a powerful family in the mainland.

This is the same as those wealthy families in Xiangjiang, the next generation of heads of their families. After all, being so young and having such financial resources is something that ordinary people can't do at all.

Therefore, today, when I learned that the chairman of BBK would attend the dinner, many courtesans in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle all appeared on this occasion one after another.

Li Zhi, who was not far from Jiaxin, was already the first to be impatient, so she randomly found a celebrity in Xiangjiang to cover up, and took the lead in getting up.
