v2 Chapter 280: Love more vcd

? At this time, the Williams VCD machine is developed and ready for formal production.

Henry took the time to go to Williams Electronics

"Harrison, VCD players will be sold in China. You should know something about this country." Henry said, "China's intellectual copyright is very weak, but it simply ignores the existence of patents. I believe that as long as our products are released It won’t be long before they come out, and they will have copycat products!"

Henry smiled, "Of course, their decoder chip needs to be purchased from us!"

"Chairman, we can temporarily not sell them the decoding chip!" Harrison said.

"The most profitable VCD is the decoding chip. The more popular the VCD, the more our decoding chips will be sold!"

Henry shook his head and asked immediately, "How is the development of Jiang Wanmeng's VCD player?"

"It's almost finished. You know, the most difficult thing about VCD players is the decoding chip. They only need to design the whole machine, and they don't need any technology at all!"

"Yeah!" Henry nodded and thought for a while.

"Oh, try to be the first to sell, and win the first place in the VCD player! In addition..." Henry said with a meaningful smile, "VCD pirated discs can also be released!"

Harrison laughed unconsciously when he heard the words.

He sent people to buy hundreds of small workshops in China to produce pirated VCDs. Today, there are more than 500,000 pirated CDs. This is the first time Harrison feels that he can be confident of doing infringement!

"Chairman, don't worry, as soon as our VCD player goes on the market, there will be a large number of pirated CDs flooding the market!"

Henry smiled and said: "Hehe, Jiang Wanmeng and the others have touched us this time! Otherwise, where would they have a lot of film sources!"

"Oh, by the way, have we applied for a patent for the entire VCD machine?!" Henry asked.

"Applied," Harrison replied, "At present. Only Jiang Wanmeng and their company can get a free patent license for the whole machine."

Henry nodded, and Jiang Wanmeng did not charge their patent fees, which was normal. After all, the plan of the VCD player. They are also involved, and it can even be said that the design of the VCD player is his. If you still charge his royalties, it would be too unreasonable!

In the previous life, Wanyan VCD Company did not apply for a patent for the whole machine. As a result, companies such as Philips and Sony took advantage. They applied for a patent for the whole machine. Chinese VCD companies want to sell it abroad and pay the patent fee. At the same time, Philips vcd and Sony vcd are popular in China and seize the Chinese market!

It was not until later that Chinese VCD companies were forced to engage in a price cut-throat war, which drove them away. But the lost benefits are extremely huge.

In this life, Henry applied for a patent for the complete vcd machine, so as long as Philips or Sony dares to produce a vcd machine, even if it is the first one, Henry has the right to ask them for a patent fee.

They are not used for those companies in China.

Philips and Sony are world-renowned companies, and their brand and credit are more important than their products. They cannot damage their reputation because of a vcd product. In addition, both the Netherlands and Japan pay more attention to intellectual copyright and adopt legal channels. The same can be solved.

Henry said: "We set up a branch in China, eh? It's called "VCD". The VCD products we developed are sold to this company. We only sell the decoder chip, or else. Let others know We are both athletes and referees. We must be unhappy. Maybe when other companies launch decoding chips, they will switch to another company!"

Harrison heard the words and thought it made sense: "Well. Then, I will send someone to establish a branch over there. Huh? The name is Iduo VCD? What a weird name..."

"Hehe, the title of the song "Love You More Every Day" sung by a Chinese singer Jacky Cheung is called Ai Duo." Henry explained with a smile, "You don't understand, the Chinese understand!"

Harrison smiled, he really didn't understand. But he knew that his boss Henry Williams was a China expert, as if he had lived in China for a long time. He can speak Chinese, understand Chinese culture and history, understand Chinese food...

"By the way, Harrison, I'm going to shoot an advertisement for the VCD player this time. Let the Chinese know what a VCD is and what it is used for." Henry thought for a while, "Invite Zhang Yimou and Jackie Chan to cooperate! Zhang Yimou is from China. A well-known director, Jackie Chan is a well-known action movie star in China! They are well-known, and it is convenient for us to start the brand! I have thought about the slogan, and it is called "Love more VCD, good kung fu!"!"

Henry paused, then continued: "After the commercial is filmed, he will participate in the China CCTV advertising bidding, and he must win the bidding king!"

Henry was afraid that Harrison would not understand the meaning of Biaowang, so he explained to him: "China's CCTV news broadcast at 7 o'clock every night has extremely high ratings. Hundreds of millions of viewers in China watch the news broadcast. It is conceivable that news broadcasts. How high will the advertising price be before the start and within one minute after the end!"

Harrison couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. China's CCTV is so powerful, and the ratings are too high!

Come to think of it, this kind of advertisement must have a super good promotional effect!

Harrison nodded and said, "Chairman, if this is the case, we must win the CCTV standard king!"

"Yes!" Henry smiled slightly and said, "Even if it is hundreds of millions of yuan, it is worth it."

...

China Hong Kong.

"Jackie Chan, there is a company looking for you to shoot an advertisement!" Jackie Chan's agent said to him.

"What company? How much is the endorsement fee?"

"A new company named Iduo VCD, looks like a foreign company! Very rich!"

"VCD?" Jackie Chan was a little confused, he asked, "What is VCD?"

The agent obviously worked hard to understand what a VCD is before. He spent ten minutes explaining to Jackie Chan.

After Jackie Chan listened, he felt that this thing was awesome, a bit high-tech.

The agent said: "The endorsement fee they gave you is very good, 10 million Hong Kong dollars for three years!"

Jackie Chan felt a little moved when he heard this number.

"Okay, I promised!"

...

China Mainland.

"Zhang Yimou~lightnovelpub.net~ someone is looking for you to shoot an advertisement, are you going? The pay is very high!" A friend of Zhang Yimou's media advertising said to him.

Zhang Yimou shook his head, "I don't want to make commercials, I plan to find investment and make a movie!"

"Don't rush to refuse. The other party has a big background, it is a foreign-funded enterprise, and it is a high-tech product. It is very rich. Moreover, the other party seems to know that you want to make a movie, so it is willing to invest in you! Of course, the premise is that this For the second commercial shooting, you have to agree to it. If you agree, they will pay you 200,000 yuan!"

The 500,000 yuan in 1993 is a huge sum of money! ! !

Moreover, the other party also agreed to invest in a movie for himself, and Zhang Yimou was obviously moved.

"Okay, then I promised!"

"Well, this is the company's information and their requirements for shooting commercials. Take the time to read it yourself. As for the actors, they have already invited the action superstar Jackie Chan!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou nodded and took the document.
