Chapter 73 The Poker Table and the G-Spot
The information and brochures were brought to the booth. These information were introduced in three languages: Chinese, English and Japanese, in detail, and the principles, parameters, functions, advantages, and market outlook of VCD.
Su Yuanshan noticed that when he saw the parameters, many Western businessmen showed regrets - as he realized at the beginning of the project, although VCD is much cheaper than traditional video tapes, it follows the new standard of the digital age of mpeg1. However, due to the limitations of compression standards, it can only maintain the level of 352x288 in the PAL standard, and it has no advantage in image quality compared to traditional home video recorders.
In essence, MPEG1 can only be considered an attempt by the International Organization for Standardization for digital video audio, laying the foundation for subsequent high-definition algorithms. As early as two years ago, the Western Film Production Industry Advisory Committee proposed a vision on behalf of the seven major film production companies in Hollywood, hoping that a 135-minute disc medium would appear, with a higher picture and sound quality than LD - that is, the later DVD disc.
But in his previous life, it was not until Wan Yan launched the VCD player in 1993 that this vision quickly became a goal. By dissecting Wan Yan's major optical drive and CD giants who mastered the VCD entire machine manufacturing technology, such as Philips, Sony, and Toshiba, took action. During this period, they joined forces and endured humiliation and staged a drama of competition for DVD standards. Only then did the final determination of the standard - just the standard for DVD discs. As for the encoding and decoding standards, they were determined by MPEG organization as early as 1994, which is the subsequent MPEG2.
After revealing Wanyan's invention of the VCD machine, Sony, Philips, Panasonic and others also quickly formulated standards for the playback, menu, function, etc. of the VCD machine, and at the same time opened patents to start sucking blood in the birthplace of VCD and the largest market in China. Isn't it very funny?
Now, Yuanxin not only masters the entire machine technology and patents, but also has its own decoding chips. This means that Su Yuanshan has enough qualifications to sit on the card table and set the VCD standard with Sony, Philips and others.
This is Su Yuanshan’s fundamental purpose.
In a sense, it was also the inspiration brought to him by the man in front of him.
...
"Hello, Manager Jiang." Su Yuanshan smiled and handed Jiang Wanmeng a piece of information.
"Hello, hello." Jiang Wanmeng held the information, but his eyes refused to leave the VCD - he was more than one meter away from the nearest one.
Su Yuanshan simply took out an unopened prototype from the audience and handed it to him: "Your institute is engaged in TV technology research, how could you be interested in this?"
Jiang Wanmeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the middle-aged man behind him with the expression that he had ate Xiang.
Su Yuanshan gently stretched out his hand: "What do you call me?"
"Chen Yansheng."
"Oh, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Su Yuanshan opened his badge: "My name is Su Yuanshan, from Yuanxin Technology."
Chen Yansheng shook his hands with a calm face, looking gloomy and gloomy. After taking the information, he finally took a breath: "What did you do to decode the chip?"
Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Last October."
Chen Yansheng's body was shocked, and a shadow suddenly appeared in his eyes. After a long time, he said bitterly: "We, Scooper, also designed a decoding chip based on MPEG1 format..."
"Oh? That's a coincidence."
"Yes... it was so unfortunate." Jiang Wanmeng sighed from the side, his eyes full of melancholy: "This morning, when I saw the decoding chip exhibited by Mr. Chen's company, I thought that it should be possible to use this chip to create a new electrical appliance. We were still talking just now... I didn't expect you to move out the prototype directly."
Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "Oh? Are you also VCD like this in your imagination?"
"almost."
"Then... I'm really embarrassed." Su Yuanshan nodded to the two of them with a smile, took a few steps back, and stopped talking.
If he still has some good feelings and regrets about Jiang Wanmeng, then he has no good feelings for Chen Yansheng. When Wan Yan, who was founded together, was in crisis, Chen Yansheng abandoned Jiang Wanmeng without hesitation, and then made hundreds of millions of dollars by selling chips - making money is actually nothing, he deserves to make money. But after he made money, he was not motivated and just wanted to sell Sgaobo to a good price.
Su Yuanshan looked at the crowd and found that except for the eastern Kong, the faces on the west were already preparing to leave. He nodded to Howard.
Howard, who had long been unable to wait, took out the cordless phone from his pocket and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the center of the booth.
Immediately afterwards, Howard aimed the microphone at the sub-machine.
An Xinghai employee knew, walked out of the crowd, and began to use his big brother to dial the exhibition extension number.
The sub-computer is similar to the "Big Brother Big", but the digital signal technology makes its body much smaller than the "Big Brother Big", and its shape and size are closer to later mobile phones. Therefore, when it rings, although people are attracted by the phone ringtone, they are more searching with their eyes, and no one associates it with the phone.
Until Howard picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
His voice clearly reached the ears of the confused look crowd through the microphone.
"Holle! It's me, I'm at the show, and I'm thinking about how to promote our cordless phone."
"Yes, the phone you called was an extension of the exhibition hall office phone. I am now forty meters away from the office."
"Yes, if you install a cordless phone at home, you can run away - it will completely eliminate the extension. Yes! It's a local call fee, which is very cheap."
Seeing this guy performing the show seriously, Yuanxin and others held back their laughter, began to unpack and put several prototypes on the booth.
In fact, as soon as you see the real thing, people will immediately know the purpose of this cordless phone - but Howard, who is born with a strong desire to perform, insists on adding a show to himself and saying that he wants to demonstrate it himself. Then Xi Xiaoding went to the exhibition office and persuaded him to borrow an extension line.
Compared to VCD, a product that is a bit useless for Western countries, cordless phones instantly attracted the attention of all Westerners.
Even in Western society, Big Brother is still a tool used by a few talents - the tariffs and prices are on the one hand, and on the other hand, the popularity of telephones and BP machines. Whether it is a company, a family, or a public place, as long as you have a BP machine, it is easy to complete instant messaging.
Not to mention the crazy call quality of analog signals.
"Our cordless phone uses digital signal baseband, and the call quality is stable. Even if it is forty meters apart, I can clearly hear what you say."
"In the future, no matter whether you go swimming, squatting on the toilet, or eating, you don't need to run away as soon as the phone rings."
"That's right! Today, we're going to cut off the damn dog chain-like phone line."
Howard recited the lines loudly, hitting the Westerners' G-spot word by word.
