Riding the wind of rebirth

When Zhou Zhi invited Matsui Zokin Chunyi to drink and eat barbecue, he kept his figure very low and put himself in a position of asking for help. He hoped that the "advanced countries" would look high on him and reward him with several cooperation projects. superior.

At least that's how Matsui and Kim Chun-ichi understood it in the atmosphere at the time.

It turned out that Zhou Zhi was "dishonest" at all. While he was openly building the plank road, he was secretly cheating on Chen Cang. He was still begging for help, but over there he had already developed a chip and even a digital walkman.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Matsui asked: "Zhou Sang, if there are manufacturers in our country that are willing to carry out chip research and development with Clover on favorable terms and advanced technology, I wonder if Zhou Sang is interested?"

"I'm interested, of course I'm interested." Zhou Zhi said, "What manufacturer is it?"

Matsui was delighted when he heard this: "Sony and Panasonic now have this intention. They also said that even if the joint design plan still needs to be discussed for the time being, they also hope to underwrite Huahong Group's audio decoding chips."

"Our country's LG Group also has such a wish." Jin Chunyi quickly followed.

Zhou Zhi secretly sneered in his heart. These are common tricks used by large groups to kill their competitors. As long as they spend a sum of money to kill Huaneng's production capacity for a year, not even a few months, several groups may launch their own chips or even players. Then sweep Huaneng's chips into the dust.

But it is no longer possible, because Clover and Huaneng not only launched chips, but also developed players. They also integrated Radio Factory 16 and Factory 18 and invested in the establishment of Hong'an Digital. Everything is ready and worry-free. There is no way out.

However, Zhou Zhi's attitude is as good as before: "I can no longer make the decision on this. In the equity sharing agreement between Clover and Huahong, Clover is not the main body; in Hong'an Digital, which produces players, our investment ratio The same is true.”

"So in the chip and player business, Clover and AXA actually have no say. You have to go to Hu Changfeng, the chairman of Huahong Group, for this matter."

"He is the former Minister of Electronics Industry of our country. In front of Hua Hong, our Clover is just a little brother who participated in the audit."

"Ah, by the way, although the brand of the player is called Lucky Clover, its essence has little to do with our four-leaf clover. It is a brand of Hong'an Digital Group, a joint venture between AXA and Huahong. Four-leaf clover only eats This part is divided into intellectual property licensing.”

"The agency sales rights of the Clover player will be handed over to Heheng Group, which has a deep relationship with AXA Fund."

"This is the situation. I have told you all this honestly. You can reflect it to Sony, Panasonic, and LG on how to do it specifically. We can slowly discuss how to proceed to the next step."

"If there is anything you need to cooperate with me, such as helping to contact Director Hu, I will definitely cooperate with you."

After saying that, he put up his schoolbag and said, "I really have to leave. That's it for today."

Looking at Zhou Zhi's hurried away figure, Matsui Zuo and Jin Chunyi could only look at each other helplessly, one step at a time, one step at a time. The other party seemed to have anticipated the situation they would face next, and was prepared for all the subsequent moves. measure.

"Matsui-kun, what should we do now?" Jin Chunyi asked.

"We have to contact the country first. The country's imagination of Hua Hong and Clover is too simplistic. What about your side?"

Jin Chunyi's face was filled with a wry smile, and the situation on his side was even more complicated.

MP3 audio compression technology is a technology that Samsung has been following closely. In later generations, it was officially invented in by a general manager named MOON.

But the finished product was released in 3, and plans have actually been made this year. It's just that Samsung in another time and space was busy with organizational adjustments and had no time to consider the music player proposal. The player project was shelved. Then faced with the Asian financial crisis, General Manager Moon was laid off from Samsung and re-employed at Sehan Company until September. It took Sehan eight years to launch the first MP player on the market, called "MPmen".

However, because this MP3 is not cheap and is positioned for downloading paid music, and Sehan Company has no funds for promotion, it has not become popular.

It wasn't until the end of 300 when the American company Imperial launched the Rio 3 Walkman that the world knew there was such a thing as an MP player.

Because the biggest feature of Rio 300 is that it can download free music, even though the price is as high as two hundred US dollars, more than units were sold within three weeks of its launch.

Next, the free download feature caused dissatisfaction in the American record industry. Leading to lengthy litigation between the Recording Industry Association of America and allied companies.

As a result, MP3 players became famous.

Now Samsung has caught Clover and Huahong off guard. Not to mention that their early creativity and investment were in vain, but LG took the lead in finding Kim Chun-il at such a sensitive time and asked him to test Clover's interest in developing chips. There is a cooperative attitude, which creates a bit of a fighting atmosphere. The situation is even more complicated than that of the island country.

Jin Chunyi was already thinking about quitting. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I will also report it to the country first and let them find a way. It is best to contact Director Hu directly."

"Actually, are they overreacting?" Matsui said with some doubts: "I don't know how the market will react. Maybe it is a failed product?"

"Also, the first batch of products will be released on Hong Kong Island. It will still depend on the market response."

"Then... just wait and see?"

Matsui Zuo had no intention of waiting, and was ready to tell the country the latest situation he had learned as soon as possible, but he said to Jin Chunyi: "Then just wait a little longer."

While the two were fighting, Zhou Zhi had already run to Taohua Village, got into his Guard and drove towards the city center.

"Brother Elbow, why are you here so late?!"

When Zhou Zhi arrived at the fire brigade, everyone was already preparing to get in the car. Guan Tingting sat in the car excitedly, stretched out her arms and patted the car door: "We are all ready to go!"

"Tingting?! Why are you here? What if you are discovered by a fan? You still took advantage of the tickets!" Zhou Zhi was shocked.

"I've already disguised myself. Didn't you notice just now?" Guan Tingting smiled and pulled the silk scarf around her neck: "I'll pull the scarf up later."

Zhou Zhi discovered that Guan Tingting was wearing a camouflage soft hat on her head. Zhao Zhonggang probably found it for her.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Zhonggang pushed Zhou Zhi into the car and stuffed him with a bag of braised vegetables: "I thought you wouldn't even come. We have all eaten."

After saying that, he put on his helmet and hung it on the outside door of the car. He was next to Guan Tingting in the car and raised the walkie-talkie in his hand: "No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, let's go in order!"

The armed police soldier in charge of driving turned on the alarm, and the red and blue police lights on the roofs of several cars flashed. Everyone's ears were suddenly filled with the shrill sirens.

"Wow, so handsome!" Guan Tingting's eyes flashed with little stars.
