Extraordinary Genius

641. Chapter 641 Shuangxiong (request for a ticket)

They all follow the requirements of Feng Yu, Feng Yu will naturally give them some benefits, otherwise no one will cooperate with Feng Yu again, for example, they can withdraw at the same time, then each family will pay 40 million dollars, then go crazy These Corporations are definitely not easy to provoke, and it is very likely that they will lose both sides. They will eventually be cheaper by Dongzhi and Sony.

“From the beginning of next month, the patent fee for each VCD will be halved and will be reduced by five dollars per year until the patent fee is zero.” Feng Yu announced aloud.

The patent fees will be halved, and each unit will cost $25, and the patent fee will be five years. And its practicality is less than five years, three years or so, DVD technology has matured, VCD will become a past tense.

This condition seems to be very good, but in fact, it is not so good. Feng Yu has already given the halving of patent fees and the conditions for lowering them year by year. What else can other people say? Request to continue to reduce? Or simply give them free? This condition is raised and the fool will agree.

If they really come up, it is that they are not sincere.

So they can only default to this condition, but Japan’s Corporation is still not satisfied, and put forward a condition, that is, VCD prices can not fall again this year, if they lower, they will have no profit, or even lose money.

Now a VCD, after reducing the patent license fee, they have a profit of only about 20 dollars, which is already very low.

At this point, Feng Yu also agreed, and he did not want the price of VCD to be too low, which would make him lose a lot of money. And these people are needed for the DVD standard. Besides, I only promised that their prices will not fall this year, and they can still be reduced next year.

And now the main push is the super VCD, the profit is several times that of the ordinary VCD, the sales are not bad, and next year, the super VCDSecond Generation will be launched, and the ordinary VCD will have nothing to do.

Even if you really want to fight these organizations, you can make the Super VCD price cuts, and let them vomit blood!

But now, it’s not the time, Sony, they are not still stiff.

When the DVD Forum was held, and more than 30 of the world’s largest consumer Electronics Company were added, and Headquarters was set up in China, he was panicked.

What kind of invitation to the DVD forum, why did they not receive it? In the world of consumer electronics, their strength is also very strong? Which company is this TM invitation issued?

Headquarters in China, so the initiator is Wind & Rain Electronics? Such a company that is not ranked can be the initiator with two patented technologies. Those big organizations are stupid ×, you have gone, and joined this Corporation?

They looked at the Forum member list again and found that there are software giants like Microsoft and Tata. What does TM have to do with you, what do you want to do?

Although they do not want to admit it, they have to say that after the combination of the organizations and the establishment of this DVD forum, their several organizations are very embarrassing.

The recording standards of the DVD itself are divided into three categories, five specifications, of which DVD+R/RW is the burning specification proposed by Wind & Rain Electronics, DVD-R/RW is the specification introduced by Pioneer Corporation, and the specification of Dongzhi Corporation It is DVD-RAM, where RW is a theoretical specification, and no actual research has been successful, and RAM will eventually be replaced by ROM.

In fact, AIWACorporation is still researching DVD-Audio, DVD music drive, Wind & Rain Electronics is still researching DVD-Video, DVD video drive, but these have not been successful, and can not be implemented.

It can be three specifications of DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RAM, which constitute the competition of the current burning standard. Originally DVD+R was at a disadvantage, and the company that followed the standard had the fewest, and the Corporation that followed the Dongzhi Corporation RAM standard had the most.

But now, everything has changed, and DVD+R is about to become mainstream, so the other two standards, and the derived norms, are hard to implement.

It’s just that they themselves have joined together to fight against Wind & Rain Electronics. Originally it was still in an advantage, but suddenly the advantage was reversed.

For the sake of the present, only they will unite and jointly implement a DVD recording standard, otherwise they will be fully failed.

But now the question is coming again. Which standard is implemented?

The two sides only cooperate, but the cooperation must be equal. Everyone is a big Corporation, the technology is also good, there is no reason to implement the other party’s standards, and give up their own standards?

So Tongzhi, Sony, Pioneer, Hewlett-Packard and other organizations gathered together and wanted to discuss a solution with the same purpose and let the other party compromise.

Their ideas are exactly the same. Now they are separated and must be failed, and cooperation can continue to confront. See who can’t help but give in, who will fail.

Dongzhi is working with Sony, and Sony has a large CD production line, and there are Sony-Colombia Film Corporation and Time-Warner Corporation, Dongzhi is a shareholder of Time-Warner.

Pioneer also has a large-scale CD production line, as well as HP Corporation support. HP Corporation is the world’s top laser technology application. And HP also has a computer Corporation, which is also the world’s top computer Corporation, which is very important for the development of DVD drives in the future.

The two sides launched in-depth negotiations, but they must pursue speed. Because they know that the sooner they unite and determine the standards, the sooner they can start technical cooperation against the Companies on the DVD Forum.

In the end, HP Corporation made a concession first, demanded the technology of DVD drive, shared it with them for free, and then turned to support Dongzhi Corporation, so Pioneer Corporation took the wax.

In order not to be kicked out, they have to agree to temporarily implement the DVD-RAM standard and abandon the promotion of the DVD-R standard, but they will not give up research.

So they set the direction, decided to follow the DVD Forum, set up an alliance, the name is called DVDAlliance (DVD Alliance), and several organizations have launched a relationship, combined with some other consumer electronics organization, let them join in, common Do technical research to fight the DVD forum.

There are advantages in the DVD technology, most of them have joined the DVD forum, they can pull together, but only some second-line Corporation, but the scale is finally up, more than just a few companies to join to look good.

The DVD Alliance has just been established, and it is immediately announced that it will continue to research and promote the DVD-RAM standard, and claims that the DVD-RAM standard is the best, most practical and correct standard. The implication is that the DVD+R standard promoted by the DVD Forum is not as good as theirs.

The DVD Forum also immediately launched a counterattack, comparing the capacity of the two sides, the capacity of DVD+R is 2.8G, and the capacity of DVD-RAM is only 2.58G, which is better and worse, at a glance!

But in fact, these data are theoretical, can be completed in the laboratory, but can not be mass-produced at all, that is, the technology of both sides is not mature. Only once which standard is accepted by more people, which one is leading a big step in technology research and development, the future profit will be very huge.

At this point, the DVD industry has entered an era of duality.
