Chapter 344 Kyushu Video Recorder (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

The donation process is actually the same as other donation processes, but Liang Risi made one more suggestion, that is, he hoped that in addition to the staff of the Chu Charity Foundation to cooperate with Chu Huan, it would be best to find two Tiao Jingling Local people came to help Chu Huan with the distribution work.

   "In this way, it can better show the image that you, chairman, are approachable and get along well with the people of Tiaojingling."

  Liang Risi gave the last sermon.

  After Chu Huan finished listening, he also nodded, and had no opinion on Liang Risi's arrangement, and at this moment, Chen Yulian from yesterday appeared in Chu Huan's mind.

   "Is there any candidate company?" Chu Huan asked Liang Risi.

  If the company had already arranged suitable candidates, Chu Huan would naturally not say anything.

  Liang Risi said: "Now the company is selecting, but it has not been finalized yet."

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I accept your suggestion. As for the candidate, I have one here. I guarantee it is someone from Tiaojingling."

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Liang Risi immediately showed a happy expression. She thought that Chu Huan had thought of her arrangement in advance, and asked with a smile: "Then who is the chairman you are looking for?"

Chu Huan said: "You sent someone to the Tseung Kwan O studio. Black and white video has signed a new contract with a girl to star in "Happy Ghost 3". This girl grew up in Tiaojingling, ask her if she is interested in participating in this film Let's act!"

  Liang Risi said: "Then I will send someone there now!"

   "By the way, Chairman, can you confirm which newspaper will follow up and report on the distribution of materials in Tiujingling this time?"

  Since it is to be a charity, it is natural to make a big splash, otherwise, who knows!

   This is Liang Risi's idea.

Although Chu Huan didn't agree with Liang Risi's idea, he also knew that Liang Risi was thinking about his own image, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I've already found a newspaper office, and you can contact "True News" directly in a while. OK."

Liang Risi was not surprised by this. She also knew that the relationship between Chu Huan and "True News" had always been very good, so she continued to ask: "What about the TV station? Li's TV and Wireless have called, and I hope they can report the whole process this matter."

  TV always travels faster than newspapers.

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and knew that this kind of thing was inevitable, and said, "Leave it to Wireless."

"OK!"

   After the two of them finished talking about business, when Chu Huan was about to let Liang Risi leave, he suddenly thought of something and said to Liang Risi: "Let Ma Jizu come over after returning to the company!"

"OK!"

   After a while, Ma Jizu came over.

   "Chairman, are you looking for me?"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said, "There is someone, you can check for me to see how old she is now and what she is doing!"

   Ma Jizu's investigation team is doing this kind of thing, naturally there is no problem, and asked Chu Huan: "Then the chairman, what is the name of the person you asked me to find, or is there a photo of him?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I don't have a photo, what's the name? It's called Zhong Chuhong!"

   "Zhong Chuhong?" Ma Jizu was taken aback for a moment, making sure he had never heard of the name, but he immediately said, "Then does the chairman have any other hints?"

  Chu Huan said: "No more, only this name!"

It's not that Chu Huan is deliberately making things difficult for Ma Jizu, but that Chu Huan really doesn't know what's going on with Zhong Chuhong now. In Chu Huan's memory, Zhong Chuhong participated in Miss Hong Kong's debut, but for some reason, she didn't become Miss Hong Kong. champion.

  However, it is impossible for Chu Huan to forget the charming Hongdou sister.

Thinking of Zhong Chuhong, Chu Huan also remembered it after meeting Chen Yulian. In Chu Huan's memory, Zhong Chuhong should not be very old at this time, at most he was about the same age as Chen Yulian. If it is similar, it is possible to cooperate with "Happy Ghost 3". Even if the age is not suitable, Zhong Chuhong can be selected as the leading actor in the next "Happy Ghost"!

   Ma Jizu has a headache because he only has one name. Xiangjiang now has a population of nearly 5 million. It may not be so easy to find someone just because of one name.

  Chu Huan looked at Ma Jizu's appearance, and asked with a smile, "Some troubles?"

   Ma Jizu didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "It's indeed a bit troublesome, but it shouldn't be a big problem, but this matter may require the help of Manager Liang or Huo Qilin!"

   Ma Jizu is going to get it through the household registration of the police station.

  Liang Risi used to be the madam of the Public Relations Division of the Xiangjiang Police Station, and Huo Qilin was also the inspector of the police station. Although the two have left the police station now, they must still have some relationship.

  Chu Huan said: "Let Manager Liang help, Huo Qilin should let him less participate in the company's affairs."

  Huo Qilin still doesn't know about Chu Huan's relationship with the Fish and Snake Detective Agency, and Chu Huan doesn't intend to let him know, so it's more convenient for Liang Risi to handle this matter.

   "Understood!" Ma Jizu guessed what Chu Huan was thinking.

  Chu Huan then said: "But your investigation team should also cultivate some of your own relationships in the police force now."

   Ma Jizu said with a smile: "It is already being trained, and we also want to arrange some people to report to the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy!"

   This is to play Infernal Affairs!

  However, Chu Huan has no objection to Ma Jizu's arrangement, and they are not planning to disturb the security of Xiangjiang, they just want to make things more convenient in the future.

   "Okay, just watch the arrangement yourself!"

   Ma Jizu nodded, and left Chu Huan's office.

  After Ma Jizu left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office, "Boss, Ms. Gu Chengxi, the editor-in-chief of "True Daily", came and said that she wanted to discuss something with you!"

  Chu Huan twitched his lips slightly, and said with a smile, "Let her in!"

   Not long after, Xu Yi brought Gu Chengxi to Chu Huan's office.

   "Xu Yi, go and do your own business first, no one is allowed to come to my office without my permission!" Chu Huan said to Xu Yi.

  Xu Yi said calmly: "Okay!"

  After Xu Yi left, Chu Huan got up and walked in front of Gu Chengxi. Today, Gu Chengxi has long black hair and a simple OL outfit, but her good figure is undoubtedly revealed.

  Chu Huan hugged Gu Chengxi's slender waist slowly from behind, felt the body fragrance of Gu Chengxi's body in his nasal cavity, and asked, "Is there anything you can't talk about at home, and you came to my place?"

  Gu Chengxi turned around in Chu Huan's arms, faced Chu Huan, showing a pitiful look, and said: "Shouldn't the business be discussed in the office?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "You are wrong, actually doing other things in the office is more exciting!"

  Gu Chengxi blushed suddenly, and looked at Chu Huan vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"

  Chu Huan's hands have begun to slide down slowly, and at the same time, he looked at Gu Chengxi provocatively, and said with a smile: "You don't know what I want to do."

   "This is the office?" Gu Chengxi wanted to struggle to get out, but how could Chu Huan's strong arms allow Gu Chengxi to succeed.

   "Didn't you hear? Without my order, no one will dare to come in during the next period of time."

  Gu Chengxi regretted it, regretted coming to Chu Huan's office at this time, but it was useless to regret.

   Half an hour later, while arranging her clothes, Gu Chengxi glared at Chu Huan with a flushed face, and at the same time said coquettishly, "You know how to bully me!"

  Chu Huan sat on his chair, smiled and said, "Who almost shook my chair just now?"

  Gu Chengxi's face turned redder, and he was about to beat Chu Huan. Chu Huan grabbed Gu Chengxi's wrist and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you have business to do?"

  Although Gu Chengxi knew that Chu Huan was changing the subject, he still said helplessly: "That's right, can you let us "Zhenbao" participate in the whole process of distributing supplies at Tiaojingling the day after tomorrow?"

   Regarding the donation of Tiaojingling by the Chu Charity Foundation, this incident caused quite a stir in Xiangjiang, otherwise Liang Risi would not have mentioned this incident to Chu Huan on purpose.

  Chu Huan glanced at Gu Chengxi, and said, "It's not a problem if you want "True News" to follow up and report the whole process, but you have to promise me one thing!"

  Gu Chengxi glared at Chu Huan coquettishly, and said: "You have bullied others so much just now, and now you have to put forward conditions!"

  Chu Huan spread his hands, and said in a rascally way: "Then if you don't want to agree, just pretend that the two of us didn't talk about this matter!"

   "Agree, agree, can't I agree?" Gu Chengxi has nothing to do with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Then let's make an agreement, you will come to my office once a month from now on!"

  Gu Chengxi understood what Chu Huan meant, and thought of the excitement that was different from home just now, so he finally nodded slightly.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have already asked Liang Risi to contact "True Pao". It is estimated that the call has already reached your "True Pao" by this time!"

  Gu Chengxi: "."

   "You're kidding me again!"

  Seeing Gu Chengxi's angry look, Chu Huan smiled happily, and then said, "Do you want to have lunch together?"

   Gu Chengxi puffed his mouth and said angrily: "Eat as soon as you eat, I want a big meal!"

   "Sausage Feast?"

  Gu Chengxi returned to the newspaper office in the afternoon. Just after returning to the newspaper office, her secretary Lin Ting walked over and looked at Gu Chengxi with admiration.

"Editor-in-Chief, you are really amazing. It is estimated that not long after arriving at Jiahu Building, Manager Liang from the Public Relations Department of Jiaku Consulting Company called and said that it was the Chu Charity Fund's work in Tiaojingling this time. The distribution of supplies will be tracked and reported exclusively by our "True Newspaper."

  In Lin Ting's view, this must be Gu Chengxi's ability to operate. Although the Chu Charity Fund will not prevent other newspapers from reporting, there is only one newspaper that can follow the report throughout the process.

  Gu Chengxi looked at the excited Lin Ting, smiled 'hehe', and returned to his office.

   On the other side, Chu Huan came to a newly built factory in Tsuen Wan in Chen Haichao's car. The gate was closed and the patrol was strict. There were two tall security guards standing guard at the factory gate.

   After seeing Chen Haichao's car and confirming the pass on the car, he opened the door.

  The factory area is clean and tidy, and on the spacious street, occasionally a few researchers in white coats talking about something are walking towards the tallest building in the factory area, which is the research building of the factory area!

  Chu Huan and Chen Haichao came down from the office building.

In addition to the patrolling people, there are also some clerks working here. When they saw Chu Huan appearing here, they were slightly surprised, but they didn't say anything. After saying hello to Chen Haichao, they continued to work on themselves thing.

  Chu Huan and Chen Haichao took the elevator to the top floor of the office building, Chen Haichao's office!

   "Brother Huan, this is the progress of the company's recent research. It should be possible to officially launch the home video recorder researched by our company to the market in the next year!"

   This is naturally Chu Huan's home appliance headquarters, Kyushu Electric. After more than a year of research, it has finally completed all the technical difficulties. Now it only needs to carry out the final test before mass production can begin.

   Kyushu Home Video Recorder, the first product of Kyushu Electric, was the most important thing for Chu Huan in 1975.

  Chu Huan asked Chen Haichao with a satisfied expression.

   "How is the situation in Japan now?"

  To capture the home video recorder market, Japan will be Chu Huan's biggest opponent.

  For more than a year, Chen Haichao has not only paid attention to the affairs of Kyushu Electric, but also paid attention to the situation in Japan. It is no longer the situation when Chu Huan asked him about it.

"First of all, because most of our technical talents are poached from JVC, the research on JVC has been seriously delayed. In addition, JVC has also sent us a lawyer's letter, saying that our company maliciously disrupted the market order, but because Kelly was Ms. helped to contact, these researchers are probably under the name of their investment company, so there is not much pressure on our side."

"Secondly, there is Sony. Sony launched a commercial video recorder in 1969, and Sony obviously wanted to unify the industry standard, so in 1971, Sony adopted U-Matic. Wait until last year's At that time, Sony began to provide the Betamax format of the video recording system. The news we got is that Sony is now working on a prototype of the Betamax format, which will also be available this year.

   But their cassette tapes can only be played for up to 60 minutes, while the tapes in the VHS format we studied can last up to 120 minutes, but the picture quality may be slightly worse than the Betamax format! "

   “Finally, there’s Phillips, which actually came out in 1970 with a home video tape format that was only for television.

   It was listed on the consumer market in 1972.

   And this machine is the N1500, but Phillips has a unique name for this new format: Video Cassette, or VCR for short. "

  After listening to Chen Haichao's speech, Chu Huan concluded: "So, when our company launches a home video recorder, the biggest enemies will be Sony and Phillips?"

Chen Haichao raised his forehead slightly, his eyes were still worried, and he said: "After all, Kyushu is a new brand. Compared with Sony and Phillips, it has no advantage in the hearts of consumers. Now we have chosen a new format. , I am still a little worried that when the product goes on the market, it will not be favored by too many consumers!"

  This is the disadvantage of new brand sales, but Chu Huan is not as worried about it as Chen Haichao, and smiled.

   "Sony miscalculated two things, and this one will be their losing factor in this format war!"

  Chen Haichao was stunned for a moment. Now that the battle has not started, Chu Huan concluded that Sony will lose?

   This is Sony!

  The world's top electrical appliance brand at this time!

Looking at Chen Haichao's puzzled expression, Chu Huan explained to him: "The fundamental demand for home video recorders is that consumers want to record programs that they did not watch in time on TV, and want to relive the process, and Sony launched The tapes in the Betamax format can only be recorded for 60 minutes, this is their strategic mistake!"

  Chen Haichao is still a little puzzled, no matter it is Xiangjiang or Europe and the United States, the duration of an episode of TV series will never exceed one hour, but back then Chu Huan insisted that their VHS format tapes should be kept for at least two hours.

  What problems can be solved with this length of time?

  After asking his own question, Chu Huan smiled and preached.

"Don't always focus on TV dramas. What is shown on TV is not only TV dramas, but also various football games. Each game lasts for more than one hour, and this is why our VHS format is better than Betamax format. place."

  In another time and space, the format war between Sony and JVC was finally defeated. This humble setting is one of the key factors. Of course, it is not the only factor, there are other factors.

  “Not only football games, but movies shown in cinemas. After a movie is released, some people want to rewatch it, but the movie theater has been offline, and the rebroadcast on TV doesn’t know when. What will those audiences do?

   Once we get out VCRs, they'll be able to buy movie tapes and watch them over and over again! "

  Chu Huan continued to preach.

  Although there are other ways, the introduction of home video recorders is what really changed the structure of the movie market.

  Regarding Chu Huan's explanation, Chen Haichao's eyes began to light up gradually. He thought what Chu Huan said made sense.

   "As for the second point, it is the request I set for you before!" Chu Huan said seriously.

  When Kyushu started researching home video recorders, Chu Huan set a few rules for Chen Haichao!

   The VHS system must be compatible with any common television.

   Image quality must be like normal broadcast.

   Tapes must have a recording capacity of at least two hours.

   Tapes must be interchangeable between machines.

   The whole system should be generic, meaning that it can be extended and extended, for example by connecting a camera or duplicating between two recorders.

   Loggers should be affordable, easy to operate and low maintenance.

   Loggers must be capable of mass production, their parts must be interchangeable, and they must be easily serviceable.

   Chu Huan named these rules: VHS Development Matrix!

The real reason why Sony lost in the format war is because of the difference in the sales models between Sony and JVC. In order to form a monopoly, Sony firmly holds the copyright of the Betamax format, and wants to use Sony's own strength to fight against the entire home Video Recorder Market Share.

   Some, like the later Apples, use their own IOS system to fight against the Android system, but Sony is not Apple, and the home video recorder is not the later mobile phone.

  JVC’s sales model is much simpler

   "After the Kyushu home video recorder is on the market, immediately contact major manufacturers around the world and publicly authorize our patent copyright."

  Chu Huan preached to Chen Haichao.

After hearing this, Chen Haichao was stunned, and immediately expressed his objection, "Brother Huan, we have spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars on the research and development of the VHS format. We have not yet started to make a profit, but we are publicly authorizing patent copyrights. This is not a loss. shout?"

Chu Huan shook his head confidently and said: "Only in this way can we seize the market faster and better. In terms of brand effect, we are not as good as Sony and Phillips. We can only defeat them in terms of scale. If the VHS format can Become the industry standard, then we have won the format war.

As for this will allow us to have more competitors in machine sales, this is not terrible. We are the first to develop and launch this type of product, as long as we keep one step ahead of our peers in terms of product innovation. In the case of , we are still the highest in sales.

   Also, I have other ways to deal with this upcoming format war, so for now you just do what I tell you to do! "

  Although he still couldn't understand Chu Huan's intentions, Chen Haichao still nodded seriously.

  Chu Huan continued: "Also, now the company can set up a tape factory, and this is where the real money can be made."

  Now that Kyushu home video recorders have reached the stage of debugging, the establishment of a tape factory should naturally be put on the agenda.

   "Okay!" Chen Haichao immediately agreed with Chu Huan's suggestion.

"I will let Black and White Image hand over the videotape production rights of all its movies to you. At the same time, you have to contact Shao Yifu from Shaw Brothers to obtain the videotape copyright of Shaw Brothers movies. This is the first battle that the tape factory must fight well. !"

  The home video recorder market is really important to Chu Huan. He wants to use the Kyushu video recorder to start the Kyushu brand. After that, Kyushu can launch more household appliances and even future electronic equipment.

  That's why Chu Huan took the trouble to tell Chen Haichao.

  Chen Haichao also saw that Chu Huan was so serious, and the string in his heart tensed instantly, and said: "Brother Huan, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

  Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction.

   Just after the two of them finished discussing business matters, Chen Haichao's secretary came in and said that Feng Guojing from Li & Fung Group had come.

   "Let him in!"

  Chen Haichao nodded and preached.

  The secretary went out.

As for the matter of Chu Huan here, neither Chu Huan nor Chen Haichao is worried. No one will doubt the relationship between Chu Huan and Kyushu Electric. The apparent purpose of coming to Kyushu Electric is actually to discuss the matter of licensing film and video tapes for black and white images.

   Soon Feng Guojing came to Chen Haichao's office led by Secretary Chen Haichao.

  Feng Guojing had an expression of extreme shock on his face. He was different from others in that he was called by Chu Huan himself.

  He has known about Kyushu Electric Factory for a long time, but there is very little news about Kyushu Electric in Xiangjiang.

   It can even be said to be pitifully small. I only know that the boss of Kyushu bought a large factory building in Tsuen Wan, and then built factories and buildings.

  But according to the size of Kyushu Electric's factory site, everyone can analyze that this must be another super factory with over 10,000 workers.

  It’s just that no one knows what product this factory will make and when it will be launched.

  Now Feng Guojing finally knows one thing, that is, this factory belongs to Chu Huan again!

   And when he saw Chen Haichao sitting here, Feng Guojing was even more shocked, because he knew Chen Haichao and knew that Chen Haichao was the owner of the largest audiovisual chain store in Xiangjiang.

  The boss of Brother Audio and Video is sitting with Chu Huan in the office of the chairman of Kyushu Electric!

  Before this, there were only some gossip rumors that the behind-the-scenes boss of Kyushu Electric might be Chen Haichao, the boss of Brothers Audiovisual.

  But as Chu Huan told himself before, this electrical appliance business is his own business.

   Then can it be judged that there is actually a real big boss behind the Brothers Audiovisual Chain, and this big boss behind the scenes is Chu Huan!

  Thinking of this, Feng Guojing's eyes on Chu Huan changed.

  Feng Guojing naturally knows the strength of the Brothers Audiovisual Chain in Xiangjiang. This is a super company with an annual profit of between 200 and 300 million.

  But now this company is actually owned by Chu Huan!

   "Mr. Chu, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will scare many people to death!" Feng Guojing couldn't help saying.

  Chu Huan knew that Feng Guojing had already guessed it, but Chu Huan didn't care about it. Although the relationship with the Feng family was very complicated, as long as Lifeng Group was around, the Feng family had to stay in the same boat as him.

   "Young Master Feng, I don't want others to know about this matter. I hope Young Master Feng can help keep it secret!"

  Feng Guojing could only nod his head and said, "Don't worry, Chairman Chu, now you and I are on the same boat, we all understand these things!"

  Chu Huan smiled: "This is the best!"

  Feng Guojing said at this time: "Then Mr. Chu can tell me now, what kind of products does this mysterious Kyushu Electric produce?"

  Chu Huan asked Chen Haichao to get a prototype of Kyushu home video recorder.

   Seeing that Chen Haichao listened to Chu Huan like this, Feng Guojing knew that Chu Huan had absolute rights in this Kyushu Electric.

   Soon, the Kyushu home video recorder was brought by Chen Haichao, and then Chen Haichao began to show Feng Guojing the functions of the Kyushu home video recorder, recording TV programs, playing movies, etc.

   "Home video recorder?" Feng Guojing recognized the machine.

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Master Feng knows?"

  Feng Guojing nodded and said, "I know that Sony and Phillips are both developing this type of product."

   Speaking of this, Feng Guojing looked at Chu Huan worriedly, and asked, "Director Chu, are you planning to compete with Sony and Phillips for the market?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Isn't it possible?"

  You can do it, but you may not win!

  Feng Guojing wanted to tell Chu Huan this, but when he saw Chu Huan's confident smile, he couldn't say it again.

   "If it can come out earlier than their products, there should be hope!"

   Also, the next chapter is at eight in the morning~~
