Chapter 1188: The Monopoly of Zhengda and Light
At this time, the huge Dongwei Palace Hotel, the banquet hall, was silent.
The dozen or so people here are like a group of cha fan machines who only know cha rice, except for eating vegetables, they don't say a word, and they don't have the pleasure of eating food at all.
Although Fang Chen doesn't like Dongwei very much, he has to say that Dongwei cuisine is still good, but he can't eat more, if he eats more, he feels dull and tasteless, not to mention, and it is easy to make parasites.
Norio Ohga was even more furious when he ate, and he put down his chopsticks without a few bites, he had never eaten such an aggrieved meal in his life.
At this time, these delicacies, for him Ohga Norio, if not no different from poison, are absolutely difficult to swallow.
Seeing that Norio Ohga actually put down his chopsticks, Albert hesitated for a moment, and also put down the knife and fork.
Although he and Norio Ohga don't deal with each other very much, in the matter of boycotting Qingtian, they still have to adopt a unified pace to show that their group of people are in the same voice, advancing and retreating together.
Moreover, as the executive vice president of Philips, he is not short of this meal.
Seeing this, a group of people all put down the tableware in their hands, and then stared at Fang Chen intently.
However, Fang Chen was like no one around, and he was eating by himself, as if he didn't feel anything unusual at all.
When he was almost finished, Fang Chen stopped his chopsticks and said to Oga Norixiong with a smile: "This Dongwei Palace Hotel? I don't know who opened it, but it can be higher than the palace of the Emperor of Wa, but I have to say? Does this taste good? Worthy of this height. ”
Heard? Da He Dianxiong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "How can this hotel be higher than the palace, Fang Dong, you are wrong." ”
"Really?" Fang Chen replied with a smile.
Judging by its expression? Fang Chen seems to be more interested in the Dongwei Palace Hotel? It's still a little higher than the Imperial Palace, and I don't care much about it, but it's just purely disgusting with Ohga Norio.
"Yes!"
Norio Ohga said categorically.
Is the East Wa Palace Hotel taller than the tallest building in Wa Huang Palace? In the upper echelons of the East Wa? It's no secret even to the ordinary people of Dongwa.
But in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family or the order of the Eastern Japanese society? No one would dare to admit it? After all, according to the jurisprudence of the East Wa? Emperor or supreme? There is no room for blasphemy, and even the prime minister of the Eastern Wo is still nominally a courtier of the Wa Emperor.
Then the buildings around the palace naturally cannot exceed the height of the palace.
But in fact, the dignity of the emperor has long ceased to exist, and has been reduced to a symbolic mascot? Even the abdication and succession of the Emperor required the permission of the major families.
And this East Wa Palace Hotel? It's the property of a certain big man's family.
Or even say something unpleasant? More than fifty years ago? After the victory of the unification faction over the imperial faction, the words of the emperor were not so good, especially after the United States took control of the Eastern Japanese faction? The Emperor is even more nothing.
Fang Chen smiled again, and sure enough, the Dongwei people were still as hard as ever.
"Fang Dong, this MP3 standard setting conference, does Qingtian Company have any demands, if so, we can discuss it within a reasonable range. ”
Norio Ohga asked the previous question again, only this time, his tone was more urgent.
There was no way, if he could, he really didn't want to say another word to Fang Chen.
He was afraid that if he continued to speak, he would have to be angry with Fang Chen.
"In fact, we don't have much demand, we just want to make our own contribution to the MP3 standard, which is some of the patented technologies we have researched, and we hope to be able to use it on the MP3 standard. ”
Fang Chen wiped his hands, then asked Wu Maocai to pick up a document and said slowly.
Dahe Dianxiong's face changed slightly, and there was a wave of turbulence in his heart, although Fang Chen's words were not much, but every sentence talked about his seven inches, he was really afraid of something.
After being silent for a while, Oga Norio didn't even want to look at the document that Fang Chen took out, so he said seriously: "As a member of the Dynamic Picture Expert Group, Qingtian is naturally qualified to provide better suggestions and technologies to the Dynamic Picture Expert Group, and adopt them into the standard, but how much can be entered, I think it still needs to be reviewed and voted by experts." ”
Fang Chen suddenly smiled, what Dahe Dianxiong said sounded really tight, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Expert review, expert voting, and adoption by the majority of votes seem to be fair, and cannot be in fairness.
After all, this kind of technical thing can't just be decided by a person on the street, and as for the minority obeying the majority, it is an eternal reason.
The problem is that the members of the Moving Picture Experts Group are either researchers they grant or engineers from their own company, and even if they come with their toes, they can't think that these people will vote in favor of DynaSky's patented technology.
And Ohga Norixiong was still blushing, not panting, looking at Fang Chen seriously, if he didn't know, he thought he was so selfless.
Norio Ohga's heart was full of sneers at this time, Fang Chen wanted to make Qingtian's patent a standard patent for MP3, he could only say that it was wishful thinking.
To put it mildly, if DynaSky occupies a large number of patents in the MP3 standard, then they international electronics companies will eat fart?
How do they collect royalties from other companies?
Not only do they not earn a penny from DynaSky, but they also need to pay royalties to DynaSky.
And all the patent fees of other companies have been earned by Qingtian.
Why are they working so hard to research these cutting-edge technologies?
Is it really just a contribution to human society?
You must know that the reason why these companies will work hard to research these new technologies and actively promote their development is naturally to open up new markets, so that the people can generate new demand, so that the company can generate new profit growth points.
If they could, they would even want to monopolize these new technologies into their own hands.
After all, only monopolies can create the greatest profits.
But the problem is that most of the technologies they develop are not too difficult, they do not have too esoteric scientific principles, and it is impossible for them to make a situation that only they can make and others can't do it.
As a direct-to-consumer electronics company, the technology they use is something that has been thoroughly studied by scientists more than ten years ago, or even more than 20 years ago, for the academic community.
The difficulty they face is only how to realize what these scientists have researched at a lower cost and be able to enter the lives of ordinary people.
To put it mildly, if it is really so easy to achieve a monopoly, it should be only Sony who is sitting here, and other companies should not be qualified to sit here at all.
At most, it's just a Philips.
Norio Ohga subconsciously glanced at Albert.
After all, both of them claim to have developed the disc first, but in fact, they know in their hearts that neither of them is anyone, they use the scientific research results of the American physicist Russell.
With the thought retracted, Norio Ohga looked around, since these people were sitting here peacefully, it meant that they had not succeeded in monopolizing the production technology of optical discs, and it also proved that the production technology of optical discs was not difficult.
So how to monopolize a product that is not difficult to produce has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently by these people.
So something called "standard" came into being.
We give a product, a variety of sizes, specifications as a standard, and then these first-mover research patents, become part of this standard, if once the new enterprise production of new products and this standard is different, it is difficult to move an inch.
Just like the laser disc, the size of the laser disc is 12 inches, and the memory size is that it can play 75 minutes of music.
However, the patent for the production of the 12-inch disc is in Sony's hands, and if anyone produces a 12-inch disc without Sony's permission, it will infringe Sony's patent rights.
But to say, I don't produce 12-inch discs, I produce 11.8-inch discs or 12.2-inch discs, can I bypass Sony's patents?
Theoretically, as long as it can be matched with the playback equipment, there is no problem, and even the long and short playback time is not a big problem.
After all, not every song, like Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, is seventy-five minutes.
But once the standard is formed, everyone produces 12-inch discs, and the equipment used for playback can only accommodate 12-inch discs, which is a problem.
If a disc manufacturer produces an 11.8 disc, he will not be able to find the equipment to play his disc, unless he manufactures it himself.
In the same way, if a manufacturer of a playback device produces a device that can only play a 12.2-inch disc, it will not be able to find a suitable disc to play.
As a result, everyone can only produce 12-inch discs and devices that can only play 12-inch discs, and all of them need to buy Sony's production patents.
Therefore, you can rely on this patent and earn a lot of money.
Otherwise, why do companies like Sony, Philips, Toshiba, and Yamaha have to be the first to publish white papers, red books, and orange books?
Isn't it just to seize the right to speak, the patent right?
Even the establishment of this moving image expert group is not because everyone is so inextricably matched, no one can convince anyone, and no one is willing to take the initiative to give up, is this why there is?
And now that Qingtian wants to come in, occupy a seat, and share the fruit, it's just a fantasy!
It may sound a little shameless, after all, according to the rules of the Western free market, shouldn't it be free production, free trade, and regulation with the invisible hand of the market?
But is it possible?
Since the world is now controlled by the developed countries of the West, especially the United States, it is natural for the developed countries of the West, especially the United States, to decide, and the rules they have formulated, no matter how fair they seem, will certainly be beneficial to them.
In other words, intellectual property rights and patent rights certainly have their positive and beneficial aspects to society and mankind, but they are more of an exploitation of developing and backward countries by advanced Western countries.
Why is it that the clothes and shoes manufactured by the natural resources such as mines, energy and other natural resources in underdeveloped countries must be very cheap, and a small chip in developed countries can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars?
Why can 800 million shirts in China be exchanged for a Boeing plane?
Is it true that it takes as much work to build an airplane as 800 million shirts?
Of course, Fang Chen is not against the protection of intellectual property rights, but he just thinks that intellectual property rights should not be so valuable, and the time limit of protection can be shorter.
After all, if the standard is not agreed, a disc manufacturer has one size, and a playback equipment factory has one size, then the world is not a mess, no matter whose CD and equipment are purchased, they cannot be used on other CDs and equipment.
It also means that consumers have been tied to death by that family since then.
But the question is, shouldn't the patented technology be easy to use, who costs more, and who uses it?
Why did Sony and Philips buy and occupy the standard-setting body, and only allow their patented technology to become the standard, and not allow the patented technology of Qingtian to become the standard.
"Expert voting is also OK, I have a list here, a total of eighty-two, please add them to the moving image expert group as well, if Ohga-kun agrees, then I immediately agree with Ohga-kun's words, and the experts vote to decide, whose patent success becomes part of the standard. ”
Fang Chen was not angry, but smiled and asked Wu Maocai to take out another piece of A4 paper.
Looking at the dense names on the A4 paper, Norio Ohga's face instantly turned red again, and there was an urge to flip the table in his heart.
Now there are a total of 80 members of the Moving Picture Expert Group, if he agrees to let Fang Chen, the 82 people, all enter the Moving Picture Expert Group, doesn't it mean that the Moving Picture Expert Group is what Fang Chen said.
Then they still have to work hard, why did they set up this moving image expert group, did they set it up for Fang Chen?
Isn't it good to surrender directly to Fang Chen?
To put it mildly, even if Fang Chen mixed thirty people to the moving image expert group, he couldn't stand it.
You must know that although there are 80 members of the entire moving image expert group, the people who belong to them do not add up to more than 50, after all, some of the top experts and scholars in the academic community will not completely stand on their side, and they have to pull these experts and scholars closer to the expert group.
After all, without the endorsement of the Moving Picture Experts Group by these top experts and scholars, the effectiveness of the Moving Picture Experts Group would be greatly reduced.
These top experts and scholars are the face of the Moving Picture Experts Group.
