1993 Glamour at a Glance

Chapter 249 What are they holding back?
It is the west wing room that is being changed.

Calligraphy and painting room, piano room... will be changed into places for leisure and meditation at home.

How to further change the style, we will talk about it when Zhou Huiya comes.

Song Yang himself wants to change the look of this place, because there are too many memories of the past.

The news is not yet known to outsiders.

Zhou Huiya's popularity is much higher than that of Song Yang. After all, although Song Yang has also released an album, his identity as a businessman is more important.And Zhou Huiya is a national goddess.

But Chen Yun is "really" about to lose her job.

How could she have imagined that after Song Yang and Zhou Huiya were together as she wished, Zhou Huiya would feel that she would no longer focus on her career so much in the future?

"He really has a lot of things to do!" Zhou Huiya now has a very relaxed and peaceful smile on her face, "Once I get back to Xiangdao, there are a lot of things to deal with. Spend all the time temporarily traveling with me. It’s a rare decision. There will definitely be songs in the future, but I don’t want to be busy making money like I used to.”

"...he writes songs like drinking water."

"How could it be so easy?" Zhou Huiya shook her head, "Besides, I will soon be 30 years old, why bother to work so hard? He is serious about everything he does, and he has already visited my mother. Besides... Even if I try not to cause him any other trouble, I should slowly keep my head down. You forgot about Miss Shen?"

Chen Yun let out a long sigh: "I'm still going to lose my job."

"Don't worry." Zhou Huiya smiled, "Didn't he want to set up a film and television company in Xiangdao to invest in movies? He told you to be in charge here. Anyway, you have always dealt with various people before and have experience."

"Really?" Chen Yun's eyes lit up, "Can you make me responsible?"

Zhou Huiya nodded affirmatively: "He will ask which movies to invest in. But ordinary things need people to do them. Manage accounts and be a producer. Is this a new job?"

"That's with Fumao Records..."

"It's not a big deal. After all, they won't offend Song Yang easily, maybe they can write songs for other singers in the future?"

At this moment, Zhou Huiya is also looking forward to the new future.

Song Yang really called Chen Yun soon: "Didn't you already give them the money for Mr. Zhou's movie? Xiangdao's film and television investment company has already been established. You can contact me to sign the formal contract, and then you can I’m starting to try to be a trainee producer.”

"After that, many celebrities in Xiangdao, don't they have to be honored as Sister Yun?"

"Yes, sister Yun, don't be fooled by the handsome little fresh meat."

"Hahahaha... this word is quite interesting."

After the call was handed over to Zhou Huiya, Song Yang said, "I'm going to Xiangdao the day after tomorrow."

……

Duan Ping also went to Xiangdao together.

Now, Song Yang can tell him his "guess".

After all, Wanyan has been officially launched soon, and Sanyou Electronics is about to launch DVD, and the competition between the two sides for the market will enter a decisive stage.

"You mean...their spare parts are likely to be walked in?" Duan Ping's face was serious.

"The method and channel are very hidden." Song Yang nodded, "The number of chips supplied to the mainland by Xinke Trading and Hanhua Trading is very clear, and the whereabouts are also clear. But Hanhua Trading told me Yes, according to the information obtained from their relationship, there is also a total number of chips declared at each port of the customs. Skoop also shipped to some agents, including Japan, South Korea, and Europe. The production of VCD players is mainly concentrated in the mainland After a comprehensive comparison, the difference in the number of chips is comparable."

"But there's no direct evidence yet, right?" Duan Ping felt that Wan Yan had such a fatal loophole, and Song Yang should not just be provoking it now.

Song Yang nodded: "This matter definitely requires an official investigation to obtain evidence. Telling you this is to strengthen your confidence. However, we don't have to intervene in person."

Just like when he asked Yang Ying to act in a half-hearted play, Song Yang just drew the line and gave Lai Jun one more reason to cooperate with the Gu family.

After all, if the Gu family had been paying attention to Song Yang, they would have wondered if it was possible to borrow a knife.And if Lai Junzhen had any dissatisfaction with Song Yang because of Yang Ying, that would be a reason to push him.

Coupled with the price increase of chips, Wanyan must find a way to keep costs down to maintain competitiveness and make financial reports beautiful in order to go public, so Wanyan will have the motivation to find such channels.

But you can't intervene in person.

The level of crimes committed at home is a bit outrageous.With tens of billions of interests and personal lives involved, it is unpredictable what will happen in a desperate situation.

Song Yang can't take risks.To achieve the current level, I reminded Dai Xing that at most, I could provide some data through Skooper as the only supplier of the decoding chip.

I hope that these extra factors can make the time for Laijia to fall a little earlier.

As soon as they arrived at Xiangdao, they heard the latest news from Lin Jin who came to pick them up.

"Wanyan announced that they have cooperated with another company named Vessel to develop a new generation of DVD decoding chips."

"Vessel? DVD chip?" Song Yang thought about this strange name.

"An American company." Lin Jin added meaningfully, "On the surface, the person who took the lead is Sun Yan from Skober."

Song Yang's eyes froze.

Sun Yan took the money directly from Scooper and left.

For more than a year, there has not been any outflow of technical talents from Skober.Under the leadership of Cravath, the agreement signed by Sun Yan was very careful.It is indeed possible for him to retain the original design and source code of the decoding chip, but it is unlikely to take a huge risk and use it directly.

Could it be that the Gu family is really planning to work in the VCD field for a long time, so they have invested huge sums of money in organizing new manpower to develop new chips?

Song Yang pondered for a while, and then said meaningfully: "The official listing is coming soon, and this good news comes out. It's really a good time."

No matter how you look at it, it seems that the focus is still on capital hype.

Intensive good news makes the stock issuance smoother, which can later raise the stock price. This method is very common.

Could it be that this so-called vessel is just a smoke bomb?

After meeting Hakatomi Uda of Sony and Kells Braun of Philips, Song Yang discovered that the matter was not so simple.

"At this moment, regarding the standards of DVD discs, the camp has become clear." Uda Takaomi said solemnly, "The strength of the opponent is also very strong. We have received news that Pioneer, Hitachi, NEC, Apple, Samsung, Sharp, A DVD Forum is being planned to promote the DVD-RW standard."

After the mpeg2 standard comes out, the specific application, the most mature direction in the field of consumer electronics is naturally the DVD player.

Among them, the most important content carrier disc, currently has two standard directions: DVD-RW and DVD+RW.There are other standards, but the strength of the camp is relatively weaker.

The difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW is: DVD-RW standard disc, data can only be written once, and then can not be erased and rewritten.The direction that Philips and Sony are going is the DVD+RW that can be repeatedly erased and written.

The two standards will determine the different designs of the decoding chip, because the addressing methods when reading the contents of the optical disc are different.

Similarly, it will also affect the technical direction of more products, such as digital cameras, optical drives...

The two standards ended with DVD+RW winning because of its stronger compatibility and more advanced concept.

But now, the momentum of DVD-RW is obviously stronger.

Braun said: "I heard that the eight major film companies in the United States support DVD-RW. The non-rewritable feature is definitely better than DVD+RW in preventing piracy."

Uda Takaomi nodded solemnly: "Now, this Vesse is likely to adopt this direction."

Song Yang frowned.

Could it be that Wan Yan is really unwilling to lag behind in technology, and has laid out the DVD market in advance?
Quietly, it is now announced that it has developed a new generation of decoding chips.

What about their DVD offerings?
"This was expected." Song Yang laughed after thinking about it, "No matter what, we are determined to go in this direction. Compatibility is the future, and there will be lower costs overall."

Now that Sony and Philips feel the pressure, Sanyou Electronics and Huaxin Microelectronics, which cooperate with them, will naturally have a greater voice.

Uda Takatomi said meaningfully: "Mr. Song, if American film companies also support DVD-RW, then your DVD machines may fall into a situation where they cannot read their movie DVD discs."

"In the end, sales determine everything." Song Yang was not too worried, "It's you who need to get more partners to adopt our standards, such as Microsoft."

DVD discs are not only used on DVD players, personal computers are also a huge scene.However, users of personal computers are more inclined to rewritable CDs.

With the support of Microsoft, it is the hammer that settles the dust of this DVD disc standard dispute.Although DVD-RW still has its living soil, and at the beginning it seems that it is more suitable for DVD players purely as entertainment tools, but eventually it has to succumb to the changes after the advent of the personal computer era.

The huge interest dispute surrounding the DVD was beginning to emerge. After Song Yang exchanged the latest information with them, it was the turn of the big event.

"The chip is already being taped out." Song Yang said, "Our prototype will be out at the end of November. We will go back to CES in January next year. Mr. Braun, at the CES earlier this year, you took out the DVD disk , "The most avant-garde way to watch movies" has been promoted for a year, and we can take the lead if we can come up with the first commercial real machine."

The time is almost up.

The prototype of the first DVD player was indeed produced by Sony at the end of this year.

Now with Sanyou Electronics, the time is a little earlier, but it will be on the shelves more quickly.

Of course, Philips and Sony will also be able to launch their own models at the same time-using chips licensed to Skopp.

Benefits, patent ownership... There are extremely complicated things to discuss here.

The first is the core mpeg2 patent alliance, which is the lowest standard.

Then there is the DVD disc standard in the application direction, which is the first mature consumer electronics market.

Among them, there are also cross-licensing of various technologies, spare parts supply terms, how to expand the influence of the technology direction you choose...

There is this news made by Wan Yan in the open, but Sanyou Electronics is also planning to speak with real things in secret.

VCD has just been hot for one year, and it seems that it is about to enter the end of its product career. The glory seems so short.

too fast!
Gu Song from Shanghai is very proud: "After the listing, immediately announce the plan for the DVD player production line. At the same time, take this opportunity to acquire several small factories that are struggling to increase production capacity."

Zhu Shaohong was a little worried: "Mr. Song, once the DVD player comes out, the sales volume will not be very large. There is a process..."

Gu Song only glanced at him lightly: "You have been staying in Wanyan for a long time, and you forgot something?"

It's not that Zhu Shaohong doesn't understand.

There is a stable supply of chips, the latest generation of products, channels have been opened up in the larger foreign DVD market, and there are so many cooperations with big-name film companies... Wanyan's good news will come one after another.

The stock price will naturally keep going up.

As for next year's operating financial report, when the earnings fall short of expectations or even temporarily lose money, and the stock price falls back, the original shareholders will naturally pass the lifting period.

In the process, there are many operations such as share pledge and cash out.Zhu Shaohong understands all this.

But can Sanyou Electronics sit still?
Bearing the pressure of Biao Wang, Sanyou Electronics this year seems to be too calm and indifferent to the world, and there is no anxiety at all to still be the second.

After that Song Yang went to Xiangdao before, he didn't know where he stayed abroad for more than a month.

What are they holding back?
Zhu Shaohong was the only one who didn't know very well about this.

And...he is Wan Yan's apparent manager now after all.

Can the follow-up rhythm really go as smoothly as they planned?
