Extraordinary Genius

By the end of October, Feng Yu was planning to prepare for this year's New Year's Day Awards Party, but suddenly he received a call from Kang Wan. On the market, a pirated VCD appeared.

CD-ROMs do not have particularly difficult technology. If you can produce CDs, you can produce VCD discs after almost a little research. And the cost of irrigation of this VCD disk is not really high, it's only about a dollar, a movie, two AB-sides, plus the overpacking and shipping, and it won't cost more than three dollars.

Genuine VCD discs, measured by the price of wind and rain cards, are basically between ten and thirty yuan. Around 10 yuan are old movies, old music recordings, etc., 30 yuan is mainly new movies and new song MV, slowly declining over time.

Whether it's a $30 or a $10 CD-ROM, VCD companies earn the same amount and divide it differently. Feng Yu originally thought that this would not leave much market space for other competitors.

After all, whether it's a storm card or an Edward card, the CDs produced can be sold at the VCD outlet. If you buy a VCD, how many CDs do you have to buy?

But Feng Yu prevented the piracy of the VCD player, but did not prevent the piracy of the disc. A five-dollar CD-ROM, singing or watching a movie is no different than a ten-dollar disc.

Especially the smaller video studios, which are supposed to make money from playing this tape, a movie that costs 50 cents a person, naturally the lower the cost.

Feng Yu sent people to these places to sell VCDs, which did increase VCD sales to some extent, but was also discovered by the pirates.

He went to the audio-visual store outside to see if the situation was as serious as Kang Wan had said.

“The heavens and the earth are leisurely, the passengers are in a hurry, overdue and trendy; the resentment, the life and death, how many can see through? Red dust, roll..."

In front of the audio and video store, a loud audio was deafening, playing Ye Qian Wen's "Splash Out Once," a song that pushed Ye Qian Wen's career to its peak.

Feng Yu saw a lot of people enter the audio-visual store, but when they came out, most people bought tapes, some people came out with videos, only a few people came out with CDs or VCDs.

The CD-ROM replaces the cassettes and videos, and it seems to take a few more years.

“Whatever you want, go in there and pick your own. If you can't find it, you can ask me. We have everything in the store. If you say so, even if you don't, I can help you find it.” The owner saw Feng Yu come in and said enthusiastically. Private audio-visual stores have a better service attitude than State-owned ones.

“Where is the VCD? ”

“The shelf in front, this side is for songs and the other side is for movies and TV shows. ”

If you want a VCD disc, that means you have a VCD player at home. This disc is a lot more expensive than a cassette, and he makes a lot of money. Especially the purchase price of this disc, which is lower now!

Feng Yu swept around the shelf, some singers recorded concerts, some song collections, and Feng Yu didn't know which ones were from their company and which ones were pirated.

But when he saw a Mandarin Cantonese hybrid disc, he knew it might be pirated, and their company wouldn't produce this hybrid disc. Especially after seeing MJ's concert CD-ROM, Feng Yu confirmed that it was necessarily pirated.

MJ's contract is Sony's. How could Sony sell the copyright to Feng Yu? If this box had other companies' prints on it, it would be okay, but the one with the windstorm audio is definitely not possible!

At this time, however, the pirated CD-ROM is not made as coarsely as it was in previous life, even on the packaging, it is exactly the same as the original. Once a store enters piracy, it will no longer enter the original version because piracy is more profitable. Feng Yu suspected that most of the items in this audio-visual store were pirated.

Turn the other side, watch movie CD-ROMs, mainland, Xiangjiang, Baoshima, European and American, and some classic movies from previous life, and the outsourcing of each disc will never be seen as pirated.

But Feng Yu knows there must be something wrong. Should we get a laser anti-counterfeiting sign? But as if this was a good imitation, after all, it was a laser burned disc.

“Dude, you got it?” The owner came and asked, sitting at the door with a woman, possibly his wife.

“How do you sell these dishes? ”

“Eighteen, two, you give thirty-five. ”

Feng Yu deliberately made an embarrassing appearance: “Can't it be cheaper? ”

“Eh, our purchase price is pretty expensive, so you really want to buy two thirty-three, which is already the cheapest price.” The owner made the look of Tari.

“Don't bullshit me. How do I know people get 10 bucks a ticket?” Feng Yu wants to test the price.

“Is their quality comparable to mine? Look, I've got real CDs all over here. Sound quality and image performance are better than they are. Forget it, make a return customer, two thirties, can't be cheaper. ”

“Okay, thank you. I'll take these two. ”

Feng Yu returned home and placed a disc in the VCD player. After the video was played out, Feng Yu's eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

The clarity and sound quality are not bad at all, and the videos on the disc, even more so, Feng Yu, did not buy the copyright. If Sony produced it himself, it was nothing, because he had difficulty importing it, it wouldn't come in much, and the disguised stimulated VCD sales.

But this is a pirated windstorm card, which makes Feng Yu quite helpless.

Feng Yu called and contacted Fu Guangzheng to discuss the matter, what should be done.

“Brother Feng, do we need to ignore this? Our own CD-ROMs sell well. Only with more CD-ROMs can VCD players sell better. By then, like regular TVs, they will be a home essential appliance. Besides, a lot of movies and music, we don't have copyright, and people want to see it. What do we do? ”

“Shall we tolerate it?” Feng Yu asked backwards. Last month, he stopped Hugo from playing pirated games, and Junior King's console was officially shut down.

“They pirate to the detriment of our interests, and do you know that pirated CD-ROMs can be more expensive than our original CD-ROMs? And it's under our brand name, which is definitely not good for the brand image. What if someone sues us and tells us we're fakes? ”

Fu Guangzheng shocked: “Are you saying that there are big companies in there to support it, deliberately tolerate it? ”

“I've seen a lot of Sony movies and music videos, and I feel like it's not easy.” Feng Yu suspected that Sony had dug him a pit. When Sony sues him for infringement, all his CD-ROMs are going to be taken off the shelf and checked out, which will inevitably make the VCD market a little better, back again!

Feng Yu also started calling, looking for all the relationships, to find out who was doing the piracy, or he had to play in the name of the storm card!
