Chapter 1344 The So-Called Cunning Old Man
Michael Dell was speechless. He was just a dentist. God had opened his eyes to get to this point.
What kind of company is HP?
Even against a guy who won't give in to IBM, what kind of background can I use to fight? As for Compaq, although the company is new, the people inside are not. From the beginning, we poached the Texas Instruments team, which I, as a dentist, could compete with.
If the other two families knew what this guy was thinking, they would definitely raise two middle fingers in greeting. Bitch is always very pretentious. Do you know how much we envy your shitty luck now?
"Jeff, the DVDs have been selling very well recently? I heard that many audio and video rental stores are preparing to close."
"I heard?" Jeff Bezos was very disapproving of this guy's pretentiousness. What nonsense have I heard, some people are talking about boycotting DVDs. Hey, every time someone loses his job, something weird happens.
"What do you think? It's not just my place. The sales on eBay and World Mall are also impressive. Even those guys who are about to go out of business actually sell a lot.
Man, if the price difference is not big, it's better to make it standard. "
Well, Michael Dell didn't take it seriously if his thoughts were exposed. He has actually already decided, this is just to confirm.
Today, it seems that no one can understand the development trend of PC. This stuff will eventually enter most American homes like televisions and video recorders.
Since this has become a personal PC, it must pay attention to entertainment design. The clues can be seen from the design of the CPU. The design concepts of the subsequent Pentium second and third generations are a continuation of MMX.
As for the GPU, this thing seems to have been created just for entertainment. If you have a graphics card with built-in hard decompression, you can handle any video file.
Without the so-called recommendation of the DVD Alliance, how could the GPUs of the White system account for half of the market. It is precisely because of this alliance that a group of Hollywood big shots love and hate it.
Whether you are satisfied or unhappy, this thing seems to have become a fact.
Of course, do you think I could start a new business?
It doesn't seem that easy anymore.
"Kobayashi-san, how do you know the situation? If we launch a higher-definition format, what is the attitude of other manufacturers?"
"President, the situation does not seem to be good. We are under a lot of pressure. If one of them is not good, a situation similar to MD may occur."
Well, the old guy was very angry. As Suomi's boss, of course he wanted to find his own way.
pity!
Let’s not talk about DVDs. Since this thing meets the needs of most people, what if your Somi family doesn’t accept it? That MD is even more stupid. Apart from entertaining himself, it has no use at all.
Indeed, the effect of this thing is better than CD. But so what, just an expensive price has already deterred many people.
Also, why should we accept the format you lead?
As for William White?
This seems to be incomparable, and people have made it clear as soon as they come up. Yes, I just want to pluck the hair out, but our requirements are very low, and most of the proceeds are used in the subsequent research and development of high-definition videos.
Moreover, if you join the DVD Alliance, many fees will actually be waived. Of course, you have to pay some dues, that's a given. Only taking but not giving, you really think William White is a fool.
"President, there is another question that will be very troublesome. I heard a rumor that the United States seems to be planning to standardize various audio and video formats."
"Asshole, how is this possible? It must be a rumor."
"President, I'm afraid not. I heard that some members have already prepared a proposal."
Well, the old guy is depressed. Some things in the United States are actually very magical. Just like when they lost to JVC in the video recorder format, from a data point of view, Somi has an overall advantage.
However, if you don’t use it, you don’t need it. It doesn't matter if you use professional equipment. Ordinary civilian products are simply impossible to use. The last reason given was to safeguard the interests of consumers.
The truth is actually there. If I buy a video recorder, of course I should be able to watch all the video tapes on the market. If your country doesn’t have one standard, wouldn’t consumers need to buy several?
If you lose the American standard, you have actually lost everything. Of course Europe and Japan can start anew, but how do you convince those manufacturers? After all, market demands are different. After all, the United States is the world's largest consumer.
What, little Japan is also very powerful. VCRs are basically the same as TV sets, and they are necessities of life. If you don’t have this, it will be useless no matter how many paper towels you buy.
Let’s talk about Japanese action movies here. It’s funny to say that the region with the largest circulation is probably the United States. Don't look at Japan's wretchedness, but their review is actually quite strict. As a result, a mosaic that hinders the progress of human development was born.
As a result, many Japanese registered their companies in West Hollywood. I filmed and produced them in Japan, distributed them in the United States, and eventually these products were exported to Japan.
After going around in a circle, you will find that the fog that originally blocked the view has disappeared, and has been replaced by every detail.
Do you know where Blu-ray HD is most popular?
Hehe, it seems like the whole world knows about it. It's just a pity that there are troubles if the definition is too high. Those pork chops of yours won't be able to fool people.
"Damn, I don't even make any money anymore, why am I still like this? Can't you respect my copyright?"
Listening to William White's complaints, Jason Gao was also speechless and choked. Your family is so useful. If the whole of Hollywood could be like this, there wouldn't be much room for piracy to survive.
"Boss, at the very least, you sell a lot of decoding chips. Although the profit is not high now, it can still be considered an industry.
Hey, it’s those little Japanese guys who are in trouble, being beaten all over by other domestic brands.
Well, you don't seem to be worried about the complaints from Japan. "
"Why do you need to worry? They can try it. If there is no user base, where can you buy cheap discs?" William White didn't pay attention to the dissatisfaction of small Japan. You just bully the production efficiency here in the United States. If you compete with the companies in the Big Rabbit Country, you will probably die very ugly.
Market share means everything. Even if you come up with a format that is close to DVD and the cost is similar, you may not actually have any chance.
Wait, after all those capable people lie down, you will know what it means to be cunning. Regardless of whether you have a computer or a mobile phone, as long as you use this video encoding method, you have to pay for it.
