Chapter 1424 Today Is Different From the Past

Suomi wants to talk now, but William White is no longer interested. Since the roulette wheel has started spinning, how can you place a bet at this time?

“Just refer to other companies’ policies. If you want to cooperate, sign an agreement. If you don’t want to cooperate, don’t force it.

Philson, what do you think these little dwarfs think? DVDs are sold all over the street. Are they blind? "

Filson had no answer to William White's question. This group of guys has always been amazing. You have already stumbled on the videotape format, and then missed the opportunity on the DVD format. In such a situation, there is no need to go back and review it, but it is actually necessary to start anew on the next generation video format. I really don’t understand how confident I have to be to think that I will definitely win.

Looking back at this point, the acquisition of Columbia was simply a foolish move. Hollywood bosses are afraid of William White and absolutely do not want video formats and standards to be in his hands.

But what about you, Suomi?

You are on the street now because of William White. Tell me, if you don't give in quickly when you encounter such a guy who is determined to retaliate, what are you waiting for? Haven't you discovered that William White did not profit from it at all? In other words, the current DVD alliance is actually very loose. In most cases, these guys abstain.

The cost is not high and the management is loose. Even Murdoch and Redstone, who are very mean, don't think there is anything wrong with joining this alliance. Because the DVD Alliance does not prohibit member units from being compatible with other formats.

You see, this is only done to promote Hollywood movies, otherwise, you can't explain the reason at all.

"I'm so sorry, too late. Yamada-san, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Integrate as soon as possible, so that it makes sense to continue."

"Fujita-san, don't you think that there is a lot of room for cooperation between the two of us in the field of high-definition video?"

Fujita was speechless. Are you worried now? I just want to ask, why did you go so early?

Is the video format such a simple thing? I’m not afraid to tell you that everything from the CPU, decoder, and graphics processor needs to be considered carefully before the next step is considered.

Now, wouldn't you know, our video accelerator card has overperformance. This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the next-generation CPU research and development has entered actual operation. According to the current situation, even if the video format increases tenfold, there will be no problems with the hardware.

In this way, you can use whatever format you want. There is no need for hardware decompression, just soft decompression. As long as the CPU usage does not exceed 20%, who cares about one or two more formats.

From video to audio, the two companies are drifting apart. Or ten years from now, it’s unclear whether everyone will be compatible with each other.

"Well, I understand Fujita, you are actually thinking too much. Let me tell you, Somi just wants to slow us down, but unfortunately, they are unlikely to succeed.

Just yesterday, Smecta's Four Star reached an agreement with us. Next, their high-end MP3s will also have a built-in music mall.

As for the Big Rabbit Country you just mentioned, Suomi is completely deceiving. There may be charges in the future, but it's too early to do so at the moment. "

"Okay, boss. These bastards, at this time, are still thinking of cheating."

"Hahaha, hahaha, actually not necessarily. They may be relatively simple. It is a foregone conclusion that Big Rabbit Country will join the WTO, and the negotiations on intellectual property rights have also been concluded. However, MP3 has been a hit since the day it was born. It is carried out in the name of technical exchange.

Alas, if the United States can't handle it well, why should Big Rabbit Country enforce it strictly? Fujita, believe it or not, Somi will produce MP3 players sooner or later.

Once the sales of Walkman decline, their life will definitely be difficult. I hope these guys start early, otherwise things will change! "

Although William White said this, Fujita could still feel the sarcastic tone very clearly even through the computer screen.

Of course he knew that Suomi finally chose to compromise and resolutely threw himself into the arms of MP3. However, they appeared too late. In the Big Rabbit Country at that time, MP3 had become a very low-level electronic consumer product.

There are four stars in the high-end, and there are a lot of Tuguo brands in the mid- to low-end. No matter how excellent your Somi production is, if you lose the best opportunity, you will lose it. Even though the later Walkman mobile phone saved some face, it could not stop the trend.

What is the most popular Christmas gift this year?

There is no doubt that this newly emerged MP3 player occupies a considerable proportion. A product priced at US$199 is already selling for US$300 on eBay.

Faced with this bizarre situation, Wall Street fund managers are no longer able to complain. I said, if you plan to engage in hunger marketing, just think about it. If it is really a capacity problem, please solve this problem as soon as possible.

Damn, I don’t know how much it can be sold for, so how can we value your company? In the past few days, there were still some floating chips that could be absorbed, but these days, with the release of sales data, not many people are willing to sell anymore.

"Are you so tough?"

"Yes, President, a third-party consulting company has just provided some information. This player has huge market potential."

"Um, have we publicized it to the outside world? Compared to CD players, the sound quality of MP3 players is very poor."

"It was promoted, but the market didn't buy it. I just went to the R&D department and they told me that the MP3 downloads provided by the music mall are very close to CDs."

"This is impossible. Just ten days ago, they told me that they are completely incomparable. It has only been a few days. How could it be like this?"

Yamada Ryosuke was speechless. He never thought that the launch of the music mall would have such a big impact.

"President, William White is really cunning. They now provide two MP3 formats. And among them, the high-end one, ordinary music lovers will definitely not be able to tell whether it is good or bad."

Yes, it's really troublesome this time. Since William White can be upgraded once, he can certainly be upgraded twice. It doesn’t take much. If you do this again, your MD may not be enough.

Although the two Japanese are upright, they will not believe that this thing was not developed in advance.

Obviously, ever since Somi rejected William White's olive branch, this guy has been making deliberate calculations. Or, what they see now is just the appearance. Once Suomi makes any move here, he will be hit immediately.

Look at Columbia Pictures now and see what else you don’t understand. William White doesn't play by common sense at all. You either become his friend or his mortal enemy.

Faced with the current situation, you just talk about cooperation with red lips and white teeth. This is not treating the richest man as a human being!
