Chapter 246 VCD Fun Things

When Yan Changqing completed his short video, the time had already entered [-].

Just after New Year's Day, Yan Changqing proudly put the video he made directly on the big screen, which should be called the big curtain.

Li Xiuni was wearing a new windbreaker, like a general in the crowd, looking triumphantly at the winery and the nearby villages, thousands of people came to watch the 'little movie'.

The 'movie' is really small, only a few minutes.

The response was quite good. Many people listened to music they could not understand at all, watched themselves and their workers appear on the screen, watched the familiar scene of the winery, and the scene of the unfinished thermal power station. ,stunned.

Shocked, some people lamented that they couldn’t understand the songs, but no one cared about them: the boss was doing high-end stuff, and it wasn’t the boss’ fault if they didn’t understand, it was because they had little knowledge.

Everyone in the area knows that the boss is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. If you don’t understand something he created, you have to learn to find the reason from yourself.

Yan Changqing couldn't explain to them what it was called. After running around, he often felt that the world was divided.

The prosperity of the Xiangjiang River, the vigorous development of the capital and Shanghai, and the gradual changes in the countryside near the winery. However, the place farther away from the winery is still the same as it was thousands of years ago. important factors.

A little further abroad, just a piece of music by myself has brought me wealth that many people can't even imagine.

……

But what was even more fragmented was that two days later, Li Ming ran over in a panic, holding a big box, and shouting attentively: "Cousin Changqing, I brought you a good thing."

Yan Changqing was a little dumbfounded when he saw the box: "Is the VCD out?"

Li Mingfa was very surprised at the time: "You know?"

Immediately, he felt that Mr. Yan should know everything, and he began to feel complacent: "The first batch is only [-] units, just out of the factory, I thought that Uncle Changqing likes to make music, this thing is more convenient! I have seen They demonstrate, unlike our current videotapes, which are troublesome to use."

"This is much better than magnetic tape. It's called a CD. It's a small bare plate. It can play images on the TV. It's very leathery. I tried it out, and I think Uncle Changqing must like these high-quality products. Technology stuff, this one is for you to use first, I have already placed an order, and I will use it when the next batch comes out..."

Yan Changqing fell into deep thought while listening to his explanation.

He remembered that when he was in high school, someone in the town had already bought this thing, and some restaurants with good business also made it out and put pirated discs on it.

There is also a video hall, which opened the age of enlightenment for countless young people.

Since then, many people have known Mr. Shu and other celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and some people have simply embarked on the road of no return to training unicorn arms...

It was also from that time that the business of renting video discs appeared in the streets and alleys, and then DVDs. It was not until the popularity of computers and USB flash drives that these things gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

He remembered that when he went to work, this gadget had become so popular that even wage earners like them could buy a second-hand one in the dormitory as long as they were willing.

Of course, those people are too prodigal. A thrifty man like him has always insisted on messing with other people's opinions.

……

As the memory came back, he thought of more things.

This gadget later became popular all over the world, but there is a well-known problem. It was invented in China, but in the end the inventor did not make his own factory bigger and stronger.

When it became popular in small towns like Taoshu Township, people only knew Aiduo, Philips, Malata and so on.

No one remembers that the first inventor was named Jiang, and the first VCD factory was called Wanyan.

It was the one in front of him, Wanyan VCD.

This is the first batch of VCDs produced in the world, one of only a thousand units.

The next moment he thought of a more critical question, this thing has no patent.

So later everyone was able to make it, and even foreign countries blatantly used the technology, and then DVD appeared, which directly defeated the VCD market.

No patent!

Yan Changqing was melancholy at the time, he planned to concentrate on making wine by himself and only improve his skills.

However, if such an internationally leading patent is put in front of our eyes, it will be fine for domestic people to use it in the future. If it is also used for foreign countries, if we register it ourselves and charge some patent fees, it shouldn't be too much, right?
Anyway, this patent is not wanted by others.

He remembered reading the report. At the time, Mr. Jiang didn't seem to care about it. He thought it was useless to apply, and he didn't bother to respond to others persuading him to apply.

Since people don't want it, I pick it up myself, isn't it a violation of morality?

I don't want to make a lot of money, I just want to add some trouble to others, and by the way, show how awesome my vision is.

Think about it, in the future everyone will brazenly start making VCDs, and come out with a patent certificate with a smile, that scene...

Only pretending to be happy, let's do some extra work this time!

……

Thinking of this, Yan Changqing looked at Li Mingfa with a smile: "You kid is going to get rich!"

Li Mingfa couldn't figure it out at all: "Cousin Changqing, what do you think? How can I get rich?"

"You snatched a VCD and sent it to me. I can't let you work hard for nothing. How about this, I'll give you some benefits later, just wait, I'll make a call first."

While dialing the phone, he continued: "Aren't you married now, are you going to settle in the provincial capital? From now on, focus on raising your baby at home. I guess you won't be short of money in the future."

"I originally planned to live there, but after staying for a few days, I found that I didn't feel like a family." Li Mingfa said. "I understand now, Cousin Changqing, look, we are not short of money here, and there is no need to go to a big city. We can go anywhere if we have money, but if we don't have money, what can we do if we go to the provincial capital?"

Yan Changqing dialed the phone and smiled: "Manager Huang, I have a job for you, come here immediately, my new song is ready, you can take it back by the way, and there is another thing, in the It's not convenient to say on the phone, you come directly by plane, transfer to the airport in the provincial capital, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

Huang Peishan immediately agreed on the other end of the phone: "Okay boss, I'll book the tickets right away. Do I need to bring anyone?"

"The lawyers who were going to talk about copyright last time were all brought along." Yan Changqing said. "I don't need anything else, just be quick."

"OK! BOSS!"

……

Yan Changqing hung up the phone and said to Li Mingfa: "Wait a minute, she will call after booking the ticket. Wait for you to pick up her. She is Huang Peishan, from Xiangjiang, a little girl. But she is a college student. sharp……"

Li Mingfa immediately understood: "Is it my cousin?"

"Hey!" Yan Changqing was speechless. "Assistant, do you understand? I have registered several companies outside, and she is in charge of them. It is more reassuring to have an acquaintance introduce it."

Li Mingfa laughed when he was scolded, and then frowned again: "Then why do you find a woman as an assistant? How much will it affect work if you have a baby and take care of it?"

Yan Changqing waved his hand: "Aren't you stupid to accompany your wife at home? Now there are a lot of female workers in the winery, but in Xiangjiang, there are more women working. You think it was in our village before! "

Only then did Li Mingfa look relieved: "That's it, that's okay."

Yan Changqing immediately chatted with him for a while.

This guy is doing well in business now, he is still young and has a lot of drive.

The group of little friends he brought were all unprofessionals in the village, and they were called Lengtouqing in the village.But after going out, I have been struggling for a few years, suffered losses, made money and seen blood, and now I have grown up.

……

After waiting for a long time, Huang Peishan called: "Boss, we will arrive at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. There is no need for someone to pick us up. We can just go there."

"Just take a look when you arrive. If there is someone here to pick you up, hurry up. The man who picks up the plane is Li Mingfa, a young man, about the same age as you. Forget it, I'll let him make a sign. I'll see you tomorrow night."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingfa said first, "Cousin Changqing, don't worry, just leave it to me."

"You should go." Yan Changqing said with a smile. "I won't let you run in vain. You have nothing to do today. You can go back first! Go there early tomorrow and wait. Don't forget to learn from others. This time, you follow and see how they do things."

"I'll listen to you." Li Mingfa nodded, stood up, and then remembered something. "Cousin Changqing, may I install this VCD for you?"

"No, I'll see for myself." Yan Changqing waved his hand. "Go ahead!"

……

Opening the package, a black, familiar VCD was revealed.

After other manufacturers pirated this thing, even the appearance didn’t change much, it basically looks the same, it’s just that there are more colors.

Yan Changqing tried it. There is a color TV set in the office of the factory, and it is connected directly. After trying it, there is no problem.

There are no discs for this thing on the market at present, only the manufacturers provide them. There are no movies, only music, which is called karaoke in the modern fashion.

He didn't know whether his current feeling should be nostalgia, or the joy of seeing novel products, and he felt a sense of time and space disorder for no reason.

……

Huang Peishan arrived very quickly. Not only did he come, but she also brought along a Polygram manager named Lin Lang.

It was the first time for a group of people to come to Dayan Village. There is no direct flight from Xiangjiang to the provincial capital. If you want to go directly by plane, you have to change planes.

However, the group of people had another way, that was to fly directly from Shencheng to the provincial capital.

Li Mingfa picked up the person with a sign, and realized that he was really wise. He brought two cars, originally to save face for Uncle Changqing, but now he just happened to be able to sit down.

He didn't know what to talk to people along the way, and he became a dull gourd along the way.

However, I admire Uncle Changqing's vision. Sure enough, the capable can do anything. Although the little assistant I found is a little small, he looks like he can give birth.

When he arrived, he put the person down and was about to leave, but Yan Changqing stopped him and told him to stay here.

Then his eyes widened.

First of all, the one who looked very attractive at the beginning, it is said that the manager of some large international company, like a dog leg, kept licking his little cousin - now everyone understands the word licking a dog, if Mr. Yan intends to or not, he always It became popular very quickly.

The dog-licking manager spoke for 10 minutes without any repetition...

What music geniuses, internationally renowned composers, gifted teenagers, business wizards, wine tycoons and so on.

……

Li Mingfa listened for a long time before he understood what they wanted to do.

Then he calmed down, isn't it because the song is very popular abroad, these people are really rare and strange, they are still from Xiangjiang, and they are also from big international companies!

Ha ha!

Uncle Changqing is a musical genius, he knows the most clearly, from the very beginning, the erhu player back then, hey!

Inexplicably, this guy actually has a sense of superiority, and sure enough, Cousin Changqing's superiority is not what the mud-legged people in the village think. In the eyes of foreign devils, he is still superior.

Then he watched, it was a group of people when they came, but now they are divided into two parties, arguing with each other, discussing about copyright, contract, share, etc.

The most amazing thing is that when talking, I wish I could beat the other party's dog's brains out, but after the negotiation, the two parties reconciled instantly after signing under the supervision of Uncle Changqing!
The two sides became harmonious again and began to flatter each other.

The dog-licking manager insisted that he should sign the other song directly. Anyway, it will be signed sooner or later. Sign a general agreement now, and then you can continue to modify the contract later.

……

But then the dog licking manager and his group were taken to visit the winery.

The rest should be their own people.

Li Mingfa became excited. It seemed that Cousin Changqing transferred these people to do something important. Now he was a witness.

Unexpectedly, Yan Changqing turned on the VCD and said: "This thing, you should take a look first."

The VCD is currently the number one in the world, an absolute rarity.

The little assistant looked dumbfounded and surprised: "Is this produced in China? Which research institute made it?"

Li Mingfa immediately heard him calling: "Mingfa, tell them the origin of this thing."

He instantly cheered up: "Huang Zhu... Manager, Lawyer Zheng, hello, this VCD is a domestic one..."

After a concise introduction, Huang Peishan still didn't understand: "Since they have already produced it, Boss, what do you mean by asking us to come?"

Yan Changqing looked at them: "Do you think this stuff can be popular?"

"Sure." An assistant and several lawyers said in unison. "It is more convenient to use, and the cost of the new product just released seems a bit high, but with the improvement of technology and the reduction of cost, it will definitely replace most of the video tape market and become the leader of household appliances..."

"It's not patented for this thing." Yan Changqing didn't listen to their flattery, and threw a blockbuster directly.

At that time, several people were dumbfounded: "No patent? Didn't register anything? Why didn't you register? All the products came out, but didn't register a patent? Is there any conspiracy?"

Especially a group of lawyers, they are puzzled.

Patent issues, copyright issues, these should be common sense, right?

Why does someone create a world-leading product without registering any patents?

I don't understand at all!
……

Huang Peishan reacted quite quickly: "Boss, what do you mean, we preemptively register the patents of key parts, and then buy this manufacturer to completely occupy the market of this emerging industry? The boss is really far-sighted, this is definitely a big market , the international market!"

Several lawyers also seemed to have taken a stimulant: "Boss, tell me! What should I do?"

A world-leading product, without any patents, is there such a great opportunity?
Judging from their experience, the normal operation is what Huang Peishan just said, first preempting the patent registration, and then directly turning the dove to occupy the magpie's nest.

In this way, the original patent talents have become their colleagues. They continue to conduct research, reduce production costs, improve technology, and so on.

As for production and sales, to be honest, they think that a person who doesn't even know how to register a patent is not a businessman at all, just concentrate on research, what kind of business is he doing!

……

Yan Changqing waved his hand: "You don't understand the situation in the mainland. What you are saying is not realistic at all. And if I do this, my business reputation will be lost in the future. People on our side still have to Be moral."

He saw that these people didn't understand, so he didn't explain any more. These people are purely commercial lawyers. They do things with money and don't need to be moral.

I can't do this kind of thing myself.

He directly ordered: "What you have to do now is to occupy all the patents, and the rest will be discussed later."

Huang Peishan nodded: "Okay boss, we'll do it now."

Lawyer Zheng, who took the lead, wanted to persuade him again, but he opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

Yan Changqing smiled: "I understand what you mean, let's register the patent first!"

These people must feel that the opportunity is not to be missed. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Since others have exposed such a big flaw, from their point of view, they must take advantage of this opportunity to make a big fuss.

What a great opportunity, the future business opportunities can be estimated at random, billions, or even tens of billions, if such a good opportunity is missed, there will be a thunderstorm, right?
They didn't know how long it was going to be on DVD, but they could imagine something more advanced.

After a new product comes out, it is normal to update it in the future.

But as long as you master the core technology patents, everything is under your control.

Yan Changqing doesn't want to hit them, just let them maintain this kind of enthusiasm. Regardless of the domestic market in the future, there is a lot to do internationally.

In fact, this matter is not that simple. Many countries have different patent regulations.

So the specific operation depends on these lawyers. Now that VCD has entered the market, if you want to register a patent, or find a technician to remake the VCD, or modify some core technologies, in short, you still have to rush for time.

……

When Huang Peishan and her group started to get busy, Yan Changqing smiled and looked at Li Mingfa: "Do you know how much money you can make now? If you get this patent, you will have a share in the future."

Li Mingfa waved his hands again and again: "Cousin Changqing, this is not a hit. I don't understand anything. I just gave you a VCD. If you hadn't brought me, I wouldn't have a good life now. You can see the opportunity, and I can't do it." It doesn't matter. If you think I have credit, bring me a box of good wine when I leave..."

Yan Changqing smiled: "There must be wine, you have been running for two days, and you can still let you go back empty-handed? You are about to have a child, right? Wait until the full moon, count it as a small gift from me..."

Originally, it was just a casual thing, making money is really not important, the main thing is fun!
