MTL - Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire-v5 Chapter 885 Oolong incident
…
After talking with Lei Jun and Sun Yafang about the direction of mobile phone development, Xu Cun briefly told Lei Jun and Sun Yafang about the future development direction of his "envisioned" mobile phone, and then Xu Cun had breakfast with Lei Jun and Sun Yafang.
During the breakfast, Xu Cun asked Sun Yafang to help him contact Huawei's CEO Ren Zhengfei - Xu Cun wanted to invest in Huawei.
actually--
Huawei, the world's largest telecom equipment manufacturer in the future and one of the world's top 500 companies, has always been Xu Cun's goal of becoming a shareholder, but before that, Xu Cun had never had the opportunity to contact Ren Zhengfei.
Of course, it is hard to say whether Huawei, without the "market killer" Sun Yafang at the helm, can reach the heights of the previous life.
but--
Huawei's CEO Ren Zhengfei is also a ruthless character - he can use eight years to develop the sales agency department of a Hong Kong company that produces subscriber switches (PBX) into a company with sales of 1.5 billion. Xu Cun died, and Xu Cun didn't believe it.
In addition, Huawei did not have the position of chairman in the last life. Around 1998, due to Huawei's low-key style, coupled with its marketing tactics, early years of equity, loans and other issues, the outside world has many practices against Huawei. There are criticisms. In view of Sun Yafang's ability in external coordination, Ren Zhengfei suggested that Sun Yafang be the chairman and be responsible for external coordination, and he took up the position of president himself to do internal management. In fact, it was established that Ren Zhengfei was the first in command and Sun Yafang was the second in command. Management model, in addition, Sun Yafang is also responsible for the market, human resources and other aspects of the company, while Ren is more focused on strategic research. Since then, in many of Huawei's external activities, people can see Sun Yafang's figure , while Ren Zhengfei, who has always been averse to social interaction, is more naturally "shrinking" behind the scenes.
That is to say, in the last generation of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei was inferior to Sun Yafang in terms of external aspects, but in terms of internal aspects, such as internal management and strategic research, Ren Zhengfei was the soul of Huawei.
The current stage is a critical period for Huawei's development. Huawei has just begun to develop and launch rural digital switching solutions, and is lacking funds for research and market expansion.
Therefore, with Sun Yafang as a bridge, Xu Cun easily obtained 35% of Huawei's equity and became Huawei's second largest shareholder.

DreamWorks Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd.
Under the leadership of Ye Zhiming, Xu Cun, Ye Yuqing and the three children Ye Yuqing gave to Xu Cunsheng are inspecting the newly built VCD production plant of DreamWorks Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd.
While watching, Ye Zhiming introduced to Xu Cun: "According to your request, our factory has the capacity to produce one million VCDs a month, and I have already bought all the surrounding land, I can do it at any time. Expansion, so no matter how big the market is, we can handle it.”
Xu Cun said, "Brother, have you registered all the patents I asked you to register?"
In the last life, the world's first VCD was developed by Anhui Wanyan Company. In 1992, at the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition held in the United States, the American C-CUBE Company exhibited a unique product. The eye-catching image decompression technology aroused the interest of Jiang Wanmeng, the general manager of Anhui Modern Group. He immediately thought that using this technology, images and sounds could be stored on a small CD at the same time. Since then, Jiang Wanmeng has successively invested 570,000 US dollars. In September 1993, he successfully applied the image decompression technology to audio-visual products, and developed a high-quality and low-cost audio-visual product, that is, VCD. In December of the same year, he and Chinese-American Sun Yansheng jointly invested 17 million US dollars to set up Wanyan Company, and each took one of the names of Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng as the company name.
pity--
Since Wanyan did not apply for a patent, the first batch of VCDs on the market were all bought by domestic and foreign electronics factories to make prototypes.
Jiang Wanmeng's biggest mistake was not understanding patent protection. Later, when a reporter asked him about this, his answer was quite frank: "Under the circumstances at the time, I thought it would be meaningless to apply for a patent or not. , the key is to let the product occupy the market as soon as possible.”
It is precisely this difference of thought that made Jiang Wanmeng lose an excellent opportunity to dominate the market, and also made China lose half of the country that should have taken the initiative in the development of this industry.
Years later, when the reporter asked Jiang Wanmeng if he regretted it, he just smiled lightly - that smile was a little helpless, but also a little guilt, and even more filled with his permanent regret.
Xu Cun is not Jiang Wanmeng, he will not let such an Oolong incident happen.
Therefore, as soon as the VCD was developed, Xu Cun urged Ye Zhiming to obtain the VCD patent as soon as possible.
Honestly -
The technical threshold of VCD is not high. With the support of Xu Cun's abundant funds, DreamWorks Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd. has developed VCD more than half a year earlier than Wanyan Company, so that Caicai has raised funds and is ready to join hands. Jiang Wanmeng had to give up VCD, an audio-visual product that he felt very developed.
actually--
The main purpose of Xu Cun's VCD is not to make money with VCD, but the decline of Hong Kong films in the last life and the shrinking of the film market. One of the reasons is the invention of VCD, which has caused many audiences who should have entered the theater. Choose to rent or buy pirated discs and watch them at home, especially in the Mainland, where various VCD manufacturers are engaged in price wars, and in the end, the price of VCDs has dropped again and again~www.novelbuddy.com~ Finally, it has quickly become popular, and almost every family can Affordable, and then no one goes to the cinema to see a movie.
Xu Cun's idea is very simple, that is, to preemptively register patents in advance to prevent VCDs from turning into cabbage on the street, so as to slow down the rapid shrinking of the film market.
Hearing Xu Cun ask about patents again, Ye Zhiming said with a wry smile: "You have told me for the fourth time, can I not register, now I have registered patents in all countries and regions that have patents. Guarantee, except our DreamWorks, no one can legally produce VCDs... This time you came here just in time, and take all those patents back, so you don't worry about it."
Hearing what Ye Zhiming said, Xu Cun also felt that he was being too careful - let me ask, with his own identity and record, who would dare not listen to his words now?
So, Xu Cun changed the subject and said: "Before the official release of the VCD, please ask Yuqing to contact Monica and ask Monica to assign you a team of lawyers... Whoever dares to pirate our VCD, we will sue him Bankruptcy, in this matter, I will never retreat a little bit!"
When he said this, Xu Cun's eyes flashed coldly - he would never let piracy hurt his empire!
