Chapter 171: Piracy is Good (4k)
"Li Hui, how about it, can we knock down the "Borderless VCD" copycat?"
Duan Yongping walked into an office, which was a little cluttered, with a lot of electronic components on the desk, and a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old wearing glasses was engrossed in studying a disassembled "Borderless VCD" DVD player.
Hearing this, Li Hui turned his head to look at Duan Yongping, shook his head, and sighed softly: "We can do it by ourselves in other places of the 'Boundless VCD' DVD player, but there are only two electronic components, I'm afraid we can't do anything!" ”
Duan Yongping frowned and asked, "Which two electronic components are they?" ”
Li Hui stretched out his finger and pointed to a certain place on the circuit board and said, "The most difficult thing is this-MPEG-1 decoding chip, which is extremely difficult." ”
He pointed to the optical drive again and said, "The second is the optical drive, which we can't develop either." ”
Duan Yongping patted Li Hui on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get these two things!" ”
"Mr. Duan, as long as you can get the MPEG-1 decoding chip and optical drive, I am sure that I will develop the backgammon VCD player within three months!" Li Hui said very firmly.
Duan Yongping smiled: "Don't worry, it should be fine." It seems that Borderless Group prefers to sell electronic components, and as long as we are willing to buy it, it will definitely sell, but the price may be a bit high. ”
After speaking, Duan Yongping waved goodbye to Li Hui.
Back in his office, Duan Yongping immediately contacted an executive of Wujiang Group he knew, although he had resigned from Xiaobawang Company, his contacts had not decreased much.
Song Yashan, the vice president of the sales department of Wujiang Group, has a good relationship with him.
The call was quickly connected.
Duan Yongping hurriedly said: "Mr. Song, hello, I'm Duan Yongping!" ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Duan, hello, I heard that you seem to have resigned from Xiaobawang Company some time ago, is this true?"
"It's true!" Duan Yongping replied.
"Okay, why did you resign?"
"Alas, the pay and the gain are not equal, so I resigned......"
When Song Yashan heard this, he immediately understood.
State-owned enterprises, this situation is normal.
The general manager's income is also only a little higher than that of ordinary workers, but it is also limited.
Previously, it was difficult for Xiaobawang Company to survive, but under the leadership of Duan Yongping, the company quickly transformed and launched Xiaobawang Learning Machine, which immediately reversed profits and losses, with an annual profit of tens of millions of yuan.
Duan Yongping still only gets a salary of one or two thousand yuan, even if there is a bonus, the bonus amount is more than 10,000 yuan at most.
It's a person, and the heart will be unbalanced.
Duan Yongping will eventually choose to resign from Xiaobawang Company, which is a reasonable thing.
"It's okay to resign, with Mr. Duan's ability, I can't get mixed up anywhere...... By the way, otherwise you would have come to Wujiang Group, talents like you, we are warmly welcome by Wujiang Group! Song Yashan invited.
"Thank you Mr. Song for your kindness, it is my honor to be able to work in Wujiang Group. But now that I have a bunch of brothers starting a business with me, I can't let them down anyway. Duan Yongping politely refused.
"Oh, that's a pity...... Song Yashan sighed in disappointment, paused, and asked, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Duan, is there something wrong with you calling me?" ”
"There's something I'd like to ask you about!"
"If you want to ask anything, just tell me."
"That...... Do you sell the MPEG-1 decoding chip and VCD drive of Wujiang Group? ”
"You ask about this, haha, I just know!" Song Yashan said with a smile, "Our company can sell MPEG-1 decoding chips and optical drives, your entrepreneurial project should not be a VCD player, I have to say, Mr. Duan, you really have a vision." Now making a copycat VCD DVD player must be very rich! ”
"Really, that's great!!" Duan Yongping said excitedly, the joy on his face overflowing.
An original and a copycat, can still have such a harmonious and friendly dialogue with each other, looking at the world, I'm afraid it's rare!
"Of course it's true! Our boss personally made the decision, can there be leave? However, the price of the product is more expensive! Song Yashan smiled.
"What's the price?"
"The price of the MPEG-1 decoding chip is 1,500 yuan, and the price of the VCD optical drive is 1,000 yuan."
“???”
Duan Yongping was stunned, it was so expensive.
"Mr. Song, isn't this price too expensive, especially the MPEG-1 decoding chip, isn't it just a chip, how can it be sold for 1500 yuan, it's really too expensive!!" Duan Yongping shook his head violently, his face full of incredulity.
Song Yashan also thinks that the MPEG-1 decoding chip is very expensive, as far as he knows, the production cost of the decoding chip is only a dozen yuan, but the design cost is very expensive, but it seems that under the leadership of the boss, it does not cost much......
This is the difference between mastering the core technology and not mastering the core technology!
Even if the decoding chip worth more than a dozen yuan is sold at a high price of 1,500 yuan, Song Yashan dares to conclude that Duan Yongping will definitely grit his teeth and buy it in the end.
The company has calculated internally, at present, the price of the "Wujiang VCD" DVD player is 4999 yuan.
The price of the copycat machine is a little cheaper than that of the "Borderless VCD", but the price has to be 4000 yuan.
Then, the cost of MPEG-1 decoding chip + VCD optical drive is 2500 yuan, and the other costs are very low, about 3,000 yuan can make a copycat VCD player.
Therefore, Wujiang Group still leaves enough profit margins for copycat manufacturers.
……
Hong Kong.
"Boss, Wujiang Group actually agreed to sell us VCD disc production equipment, haha, now we are going to make a fortune!" A yellow fur shouted excitedly.
"Damn, Wujiang Group really dares to sell anything, so it's not afraid that we will do piracy!" A burly man with nine dragons tattooed on his back said excitedly.
This man's name is Chen Nan, and he is nicknamed "Nine Pattern Dragon", and he is the bearer of Causeway Bay.
The yellow-haired little brother is named Zhou Fei, because he often takes care of the chicken shop business, so he is nicknamed "Chicken Boy", and he is the right-hand man of "Nine Dragon Pattern".
When the "chicken boy" heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Boss, I just received a call from the staff of Wujiang, listening to his meaning, it seems to encourage us to do piracy ......"
"Oh? What he said. ”
He said that Wujiang Group only sells VCD disc production equipment, and no one refuses, and after the equipment is sold, as for what the buyer will do, Wujiang Group will not ask. The chicken boy paused and said excitedly, "Boss, look, isn't the attitude of the Wujiang Group encouraging us to do piracy!" In addition......"
"Chicken Boy" recalled for a moment and said: "In addition, the staff of Wujiang Group also said that the "Wujiang VCD" DVD player plans to enter the Southeast Asian market, and at that time, the VCD disc business will definitely be very hot!" ”
"Chicken Boy" seemed to think of something, and said excitedly: "Boss, everyone else is making pirated VCD discs in the mainland, and the competition is fierce. If we were to make pirated VCDs in Southeast Asia, there would be almost no competitors now!! ”
When the "Nine-Striped Dragon" heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Haha, I can't imagine that you are quite smart 'Chicken Boy'!" ”
"Hehehe, where is it, I still can't compare to the boss."
"Made, you are still humble, Lao Tzu said that if you are smart, you will be smart! Hurry up, as soon as the equipment arrives, we will start work immediately, and make every effort to produce pirated VCD discs from Southeast Asian countries, and we will occupy the pirated disc business in Southeast Asia!! ”
"Okay, Boss!"
At this time, many community organizations in Hong Kong have set foot in the pirated VCD industry.
That's a lot of profit.
The boss of the community said that the Wujiang Group gives face, it is interesting enough, sell equipment to us, we also have to give the Wujiang Group face, the companies under the Wujiang Group are filming, no one should go to collect protection money, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill him......
In fact, there are many associations that want to get involved in the pirated VCD industry, which is highly secure and profitable, and the Wujiang Group is very face-saving.
Therefore, the current Hong Kong community is reluctant to offend the Wujiang Group.
They now hope that "Borderless VCD" can go to the world, so that their pirated VCD discs can also be sold all over the world.
Even, "Borderless VCD" has not yet entered the market of a certain country, but the pirated VCD disc has been distributed one step earlier, such as the "Nine Dragons" team, which has arranged for people to go to Southeast Asia to prepare in advance......
What is a profession?
It's called professionalism!
Pirates are faster than genuine dealers!
……
At this time, Japan's JVC company has also noticed the "borderless VCD", and it is like a big enemy for a while.
At the meeting, JVC President Shin Ando said in a flash:
"Borderless VCD is very popular in China, and the development trend is very fierce! In this case, it is likely to become popular all over the world. However, in Europe and the United States, most users are using our VHS recorders. ”
"It is worth mentioning that the reason why "Borderless VCD" can be so popular in China is because pirated VCD discs play a great role."
"Western countries are different from developing countries in that they attach great importance to the knowledge industry. If we want to curb the development of "Borderless VCD", we must encircle Hollywood studios and join forces to ban "Borderless VCD". ”
"As long as there is no Hollywood film company to cooperate with Wujiang Group, then Wujiang Group will have no film source, how can it promote "Wujiang VCD"?"
After Shinji Ando finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but nod.
"President, how can we prevent Hollywood studios from cooperating with the Borderless Group?" That's when someone asked.
Shinji Ando smiled and replied, "Hollywood studios are now vested in VHS standards, and if anyone cooperates with Wujiang Group, then we will cut off cooperation with it." You must know that there are 10 or 20 million VHS recorder users in the United States, and the users of "Borderless VCD" are only zero. ”
"The picture quality of the 'Borderless VCD' is not better than that of VHS recorders,"
"So, it's clear who Hollywood studios choose to work with. I don't think any Hollywood studio would be stupid enough to work with Borderless Group! ”
Shinji Ando smirked.
Everyone put themselves in their shoes, if they are a borderless group, there is nothing they can do in the face of this situation.
Unless there is a technological revolution that makes the picture quality of "Borderless VCD" surpass that of VHS recorders......
But is it possible?
In the eyes of everyone, it is impossible to achieve it in a short period of time.
Shinji Ando gave everyone a reassuring tile, and finally don't worry about the "stealing tower" of the Wujiang Group......
……
Kenneth Fast, a vice president of Telecommunications Mexico, came to China to investigate PHS technology.
He is very satisfied with the PHS technology invented by the Wujiang Group, recently, the PHS technology has been improved by the Wujiang Group, and the unified standard can play domestic roaming. Of course, the most important point is that an agreement has been reached with the country, and the rules allow PHS to roam domestically.
Since PHS can roam across the country, the sales of PHS mobile phones in China have soared in recent times.
Kenneth Fast took a fancy to PHS technology and wanted to introduce it to Mexico.
However, I never expected that this trip to China would have an unexpected surprise.
"This is the "Borderless VCD", if it can be introduced to Mexico, it will definitely sell well!!" Kenneth Fast was pleasantly surprised. His family is very strong in Mexico and is fully capable of acting as an agent for "Borderless VCD" products.
Although Mexico is a neighbor of the United States, it has not reaped the benefits of this "good neighbor" at all. On the contrary, it has been harmed repeatedly.
Isn't Mexico's massive brain drain going to the United States?
There are many other things that are difficult to explain.
It can only be said that "too close to the United States must be too far from heaven"!
Right now, Mexico is also very poor, and there are very few Mexicans who own VHS video recorders. So, this gives Borderless VCD the opportunity to enter Mexico.
In Mexico, you don't have to talk about copyright, the chaos here is far more than people think, it has the perfect soil for pirated VCDs to grow, and it may also be the bridgehead for "borderless VCDs" to enter the United States......
So, when Kenneth Fast came to talk to the Borderless Group about cooperation.
When Zhao Ye heard the news, he personally came forward to greet him to show his attention.
"Hello Mr. Kenneth Fast and welcome to the Borderless Group!" Zhao Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to the other party with a warm face, and greeted.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet a legend like you, it's my pleasure. Your experience is as mythical as it is admirable! Kenneth Fast shook Zhao Ye's hand and said in a complimenting tone.
"Thank you for the compliment. You may be seated, Mr. Fast, I heard that you are an important member of the Mexican Fast family? Zhao Ye asked.
"Yes, it's not difficult to investigate~" Kenneth Fast laughed.
"With the strength of the Fast family, it can indeed become the agent of "Borderless VCD"! Mr. Kenneth Fast, I am a businessman, the main thing is honesty, I will give you a sincere price, you take the goods from me, each "Borderless VCD" is only 666 US dollars, I don't care how much you take back and sell it, if you have the ability, you can sell it to the United States......"
Zhao Ye said with a serious face.
The news that "Borderless VCD" was suppressed by JVC and Hollywood Film Company, Zhao Ye knew it for the first time. He has no good way to deal with it now, but to let the Fast family engage in piracy and smuggling, and gradually infiltrate the American market.
