Extraordinary Genius

They all complied with Feng Yu's request, and Feng Yu would naturally give them a little benefit. Otherwise, no one would cooperate with Feng Yu at the same time. For example, if they could withdraw at the same time, then each company would compensate for only $40 million, and then go crazy, it would definitely not be easy to mess with. It is likely that they will lose and lose, and eventually Dong Chi and Sony will pick up the cheap price.

“Beginning early next month, the cost of patenting each VCD will be halved and subsequently reduced by $5 per year until the cost of the patent is zero.” Feng Yu announced loudly.

The cost of a patent is reduced by half, $25 per unit, and a five-year patent fee can still be charged. In fact, in less than five years, in about three years, the technology of DVD will mature, and VCD will become the past.

This seems like a good condition, but it really doesn't work at all. But Feng Yu has already given the patent fee to be cut by half, and the conditions have been reduced year by year, what else can others say? Demand to continue lowering? Or just give it to them for free? When this condition is put forward, the fool will say yes.

If they do come up, then they're out of sincerity.

So they could only acquiesce to this condition, but the companies in the island were still not satisfied, and another condition was that the price of VCD could not be reduced again this year, and if it were lowered again, they would not have any profits, or even money.

Now a VCD, after lowering the patent license fee, they also have a profit of about $20, which is already very low.

Feng Yu also agreed that he didn't want the price of the VCD to be too low, which would also make him a lot less money. These people are also needed for the time being to promote DVD standards. Besides, they promised that their prices would not drop this year, and they could still do so next year.

And now the main push is Super VCD, profit is several times that of ordinary VCD, sales are not bad, next year we will launch Super VCD generation, ordinary VCD won't be much trouble.

Even if you really want to hit these companies, you can cut the price of Super VCDs and make them spit blood!

But now, not yet, Sonny, aren't they still tough?

Sony panicked when the DVD Forum met, attracted more than 30 major consumer electronics companies from around the world and set their headquarters in Huaxia River Fertility.

Why didn't they receive the invitation to this DVD forum? In the world consumer electronics industry, they are strong, too, okay? Which company sent this fucking invitation?

Headquartered in Huaxia River Fat, so the sponsor is Windstorm Electronics? With two patented technologies, can a company like this become a sponsor? Are all those big companies stupid? You all went there and joined this company?

They looked at the list of Forum members' companies and found that there were software giants like Microsoft and Tata Consulting. What does this TM have to do with you? What are you doing mixing in?

Although they don't want to admit it, it has to be said that it was embarrassing for a few of them to join forces and set up this DVD forum.

The recording standards of DVD itself are divided into three main categories, five specifications, among which DVD + RRW is the recording specification proposed by Windstorm Electronics, DVD-RRW is the specification launched by the pioneer company, and the specification launched by the Eastern company is DVD-RAM, where RW is the theoretical specification, which has not yet been successfully studied, and RAM will eventually be replaced by ROM.

In fact, AIWA is also studying DVD-Audio, both DVD music optical drive and windstorm electronics are studying DVD-Video, both DVD video optical drive, but none of these have succeeded and cannot be implemented for the time being.

But there are three specifications: DVD + R, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM, which constitute the competition for today's burning standards. Originally, DVD + R was at a disadvantage, with the fewest companies following the standard and the most companies following the Eastern company RAM standard.

But now that everything has changed, and DVD + R is about to become mainstream, the other two standards, and the derived norms, are going to be hard to push forward.

Just as they themselves have joined forces to counter the wind and rain electronics. It was in the first place, but all of a sudden the advantage was reversed.

For now, only they will join forces to promote a DVD burning standard, or they will fail completely.

But now the question is, what kind of standards do we enforce?

Both parties only cooperate, but cooperation must be equal. Everyone is a big company and the technology is good. There is no reason to enforce each other's standards and give up their own standards, right?

So Dongzi, Sony, Pioneer, HP and other companies came together to discuss a solution, all for the same purpose, to compromise each other.

Their ideas were identical, and now parting would inevitably fail, while cooperation could continue to confront each other. Look who can't hold up the concession first, and whoever fails.

Eastern and Sony are working together, and Sony has a large CD-ROM production line, with shareholders from Sony-Columbia Films and Time-Warner, and Eastern Time-Warner.

And Pioneer also has a large CD-ROM production line, supported by HP, which is one of the best in the world for laser technology applications. And HP also has a computer company, also one of the world's top computer companies, that attaches great importance to the future development of DVD optical drives.

Both sides have engaged in in-depth negotiations, but both are pursuing speed. Because they know that the sooner they coalesce, the sooner they set standards, the sooner they can start technical cooperation against companies in the DVD Forum.

Ultimately, HP made concessions, demanded DVD optical drive technology, shared it for free with their company, and turned to a company that supported the East, so the pioneer company sat on the wax.

In order not to be kicked out, they also had to agree to temporarily promote the DVD-RAM standard and abandon the promotion of the DVD-R standard, but they would not abandon the study.

So they set the course, decided to follow the DVD Forum, set up an alliance called the DVDAlliance, and a couple of companies started connections, joined up with some other big consumer electronics companies, and did technical research to counter the DVD Forum.

Companies that have comparative advantages in DVD technology, most of them joined the DVD forum, and they were able to pull together, just some second-line companies, but finally got up in size, much better than just a few.

As soon as the DVD Alliance was established, it was announced that it would continue to study and promote the DVD-RAM standard, and that the DVD-RAM standard was the most useful, practical and correct one. To put it this way, DVD + R standards promoted in DVD forums are not as good as they are.

And the DVD Forum immediately launched a counterattack, comparing the capacity of both sides, the DVD + R has 2.8G capacity, while the DVD-RAM has only 2.58G capacity, what is the best and worst, at a glance!

But in fact, these data are theoretical, can be completed in the laboratory, but cannot be produced in large quantities at all, that is, neither party's technology is mature. But once that standard is accepted by more people, then it's a big step ahead of technology research and development, and the future profits will be huge.

So far, the DVD industry has entered an era of double masculinity.
