Chapter Seventy-Three: The Table and the G-Point
Materials and brochures were brought to the booth detailing the principles, parameters, functions, benefits, and market outlook of VCDs in English, Chinese and Japanese.
Su Yuanshan noticed that after seeing the parameters, many merchants with Western faces invariably showed regret - as he knew at the beginning of the project, although VCD is much cheaper than traditional video tapes, it also closely follows the new standard of mpeg1, the digital age. However, due to the limitation of compression standards, the maximum can only maintain the level of 352x288 resolution on the PAL system, which has no advantage in image quality compared to traditional home video recorders.
And in essence, MPEG1 can only be regarded as an attempt by the International Organization for Standardization to digital video and audio, laying the foundation for subsequent high-definition algorithms - as early as two years ago, the Western Film Production Industry Advisory Committee put forward a vision on behalf of Hollywood's seven major film studios, hoping that there would be a 135-minute disc medium with better picture and sound quality than LD - that is, later DVD discs.
But in the previous life, it was not until Wanyan launched the VCD player in 93 that the vision quickly became the goal. Through the dissection of Wan Yan mastered the VCD machine manufacturing technology of the major optical drive and disc giants, such as Philips, Sony, Toshiba and the like have taken action, during which all kinds of vertical and horizontal and even endured humiliation, staged a DVD standard competition, which finally determined the standard - just the standard of DVD discs, as for the encoding and decoding standard, it was determined by the MPEG organization as early as 94 years, that is, the subsequent MPEG2.
After dissecting Wan Yan's invention of the VCD machine, sony, Philips, Panasonic and others also quickly formulated standards such as the menu function of the VCD machine, and at the same time opened up patents and began to suck blood in the birthplace and largest market of VCD in China - isn't it funny?
Now, Yuanxin has not only mastered the technology and patents of the whole machine, but also has its own decoding chips. It means that Su Yuanshan is qualified enough to sit at the table and set this VCD standard together with sony, Philips and others.
This is the fundamental purpose of Su Yuanshan.
In a sense, it is also the inspiration that the man in front of him brought to himself.
......
"Hello Manager Jiang. Su Yuanshan smiled and handed a document to Jiang Wanmeng.
"Hello, hello. Jiang Wanmeng held the information, but his eyes refused to leave the VCD - he was still more than a meter away from the nearest one.
Su Yuanshan simply took out an unopened prototype from the audience and handed it to him: "Your institute is engaged in TV technology research, how can you be interested in this?"
Jiang Wanmeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the middle-aged man behind him with the same expression as eating Xiang.
Su Yuanshan gently stretched out his hand: "What do you call it?"
"Chen Yansheng. ”
"Oh, long and long. Su Yuanshan flipped over his badge: "My name is Su Yuanshan, from Yuanxin Technology." ”
Chen Yansheng shook his hand with a calm face, his face was uncertain, and after taking a look at the information, he finally took a breath: "How did you decode the chip?"
Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "In October last year." ”
Chen Yansheng's body was shocked, and a shadow suddenly appeared in his eyes, and after a long time, he said bitterly: "We have also designed a decoding chip based on the MPEG1 format......"
"Oh? That's just a coincidence. ”
"yes...... It's a coincidence. Jiang Wanmeng sighed on the side, his eyes full of melancholy: "This morning, when I saw the decoding chip on display by Mr. Chen's company, I thought that I should be able to use this chip to create a new electrical appliance. We were talking just now...... I didn't expect you to move out of the prototype directly. ”
Su Yuanshan smiled: "Oh?
"Almost. ”
"Then ...... I'm really embarrassed. Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded at the two, took a few steps back, and stopped talking.
If he still has a good impression and pity for Jiang Wanmeng, then he has no good impression of Chen Yansheng at all. When Wanyan, which was established by these two people together, encountered a crisis, Chen Yansheng did not hesitate to abandon Jiang Wanmeng, and then made hundreds of millions of dollars by selling chips - making money is actually nothing, he should earn it. But when he made money, he didn't want to make progress, and only wanted to sell Sgooper for a good price.
Su Yuanshan looked at the crowd and found that in addition to the faces in the east, the faces in the west were already preparing to leave. He nodded at Howard.
Howard, who couldn't wait, took out the cordless phone from his pocket and put it in the most prominent position in the center of the booth.
Immediately after, Howard pointed the microphone at the handset.
An employee of Xinghai understood, walked out of the crowd, and began to use Big Brother to dial the extension number of the exhibition.
The handset is similar in shape to the "Big Brother", but the technology of using digital signals makes its body much smaller than the "Big Brother", and the shape and size are closer to the mobile phones of later generations. So when it rang, people were attracted by the ringing of the phone, but they were more looking around, and no one associated it with the phone.
That was until Howard picked up the handset and pressed the answer button.
His voice was heard clearly through the microphone into the ears of the bewildered-looking crowd.
"Holle! is me, I'm at the show, and I'm thinking about how to get the word out about our cordless phones. ”
"Yes, your call is an extension of the office phone in the exhibition hall, and I am now forty meters away from the office. ”
"Yes, if you have a cordless phone in your house, you can run away – it will wipe out the extension completely. Yes, it's a local phone tariff, and it's cheap. ”
Seeing this guy acting seriously, everyone in Yuanxin couldn't help laughing, began to unpack the package, and put a few prototypes on the booth.
In fact, as soon as they see the real thing, people will immediately know the purpose of this cordless phone - it's just that Howard, who was born with a strong desire to perform, had to add drama to himself, saying that he wanted to demonstrate it himself, so Xi Xiaoding went to the exhibition office to say that he borrowed an extension line.
Compared with VCD, which is a bit of a chicken product for Western countries, cordless phones have attracted the attention of all Westerners in an instant.
Even in Western society, Big Brother is still a tool used by a few people - the tariff and the price itself are on the one hand, and the popularity of public telephones and BP machines on the other. Whether it's a company, a home, or a public place, as long as you have a BP machine, you can easily complete instant messaging.
Not to mention the maddening call quality of the analog signal.
"Our cordless phone uses a digital baseband, so the call quality is stable, and I can hear what you are saying clearly, even when I am 40 meters apart. ”
"In the future, whether you go swimming, squatting on the toilet, or eating, you don't need to run for your life as soon as the phone rings. ”
"That's right, today, we're going to cut the damn chain-like wires. ”
Howard read the lines aloud and hit the Westerners' G-spot word by word.
