Chapter 1118 Monopolizing the Global VCD Market!

VCD players have been developed, and DVD players are not far from being developed.

The emergence of VCD players does play a very important role in the global film and television and record markets.

On the one hand, it promotes the income of the global film and television and record markets.

On the other hand, it is precisely because of VCD players that pirated optical discs soon follow.

Of course, in Yang Ming's view, pirated optical discs are inevitable.

"Let's go to the Science and Technology City first."

Yang Ming, Yingla, Alina and others first took a car to Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

Leaving from the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, then passing through the Hung Hom Tunnel, entering the highway that has only been opened in recent years, and heading to Xiangjiang Science and Technology City in the North of the New Territories, it won't take too long.

When Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce stopped in the parking lot of Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

Yang Ming, Alina, Yingla and others just got off the car and went to the technology company.

Zhang Zhihong, the general manager of the technology company, was already waiting here.

"Boss."

Yang Ming and Zhang Zhihong went into the technology company.

As for the research of VCD players, Yang Ming had prepared it after returning from Japan. Later, when Xiangjiang Science and Technology City was established, this company was quietly established and then specialized in the research and development of this project.

Even now, the outside world does not know about it.

In the eyes of the outside world, Xiangjiang Science and Technology City mainly studies semiconductors and other related industries.

There are also computer-related hardware and software industries.

In fact, various commercial and intelligent electrical appliances have been studied here all the time.

With the addition of Su Lian talents, there are more research and development projects here.

When Yang Ming came to the technology company, there were already several commercial VCD players here.

"Boss, these are our commercial VCD players. They can not only play movies and TV series, but also records."

After Zhang Zhihong asked someone to put in a record disc of Deng Liyun, the disc player began to play through the screen of the color TV.

Of course, black and white TVs can also be used.

It's just that the screen effect of the color TV looks better.

"It's really good."

This reminded Yang Ming of his previous life, when he was still a middle school student in the 1990s, and he went to his classmate's house to watch the disc through the VCD player.

It can be said that it has great prospects in film and television, records, and even in bars, karaoke halls, etc.

Of course, the launch of VCD also means that the rural mobile movies that were popular in rural areas in China may go bankrupt.

"Have the patents been registered?"

"Boss, the patents for VCD machines have been registered worldwide."

Zhang Zhihong introduced on the side.

"Then have you discussed the launch price?"

In the 1990s, when VCD machines were first launched, they were sold at a price of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan per unit, which was really expensive.

After all, at that time, ordinary people also earned a few hundred yuan a month, which was equivalent to half a year or even a year's salary to buy a VCD machine.

However, later, a large number of companies produced it, and the price quickly dropped to a few hundred yuan per unit.

Today, the patents related to this VCD machine have been registered by the Empire Group, which means that the Empire Group can monopolize it, just like the arcade machines produced by the Empire Game Company at the beginning.

However, Yang Ming felt that there was no need to sell it too expensively.

"Boss, we have discussed internally and sold it for 7,000 to 8,000 Hong Kong dollars per unit."

7,000 to 8,000 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 1,000 US dollars per unit, which was really not cheap in the 1980s.

Of course, in this era, many electrical products are very expensive when they are first launched on the market.

Whether it is a desktop computer, a laptop, a color TV, etc., the price is very expensive, and only some wealthy people can afford it.

Yang Ming said: "It's too expensive. VCD machines are not difficult to develop."

This price is indeed too expensive.

And if the Empire Group wants to occupy the global market, it is indeed too expensive to sell it at this price.

According to the current VCD research costs and hardware aspects, selling it at 3,000 Hong Kong dollars is very profitable.

What's more, now it is aimed at the global market.

Zhang Zhihong wrote it down.

Yang Ming asked Zhang Zhihong to continue to develop DVD.

Historically, VCD machines were developed in 1993, and DVDs began to appear in 1994.

When VCD machines appeared, DVD machines would indeed follow soon.

Yang Ming finished visiting here.

He knew that VCD machines alone could bring him an industrial chain of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars a year.

. . .

After Yang Ming visited his company that developed VCD machines.

VCD players will soon be mass-produced by related foundries.

Of course, it won't take long.

This technology company directly announced the launch of VCD players in Hong Kong Science Park.

Subsequently, VCD players will be exhibited at exhibitions around the world.

This will not only drive the VCD-related industrial chain, but also drive the development of Hong Kong Science Park.

At this time, Yang Ming no longer cared about those things.

He returned to the chairman's office at the headquarters of the Empire Group Building.

He Chaoxuan, Lin Xiuzhi has returned to work.

"Boss, do you mean that you don't have to go to the cinema to watch movies in the future?"

In fact, Hong Kong's Asia Television and TVB have always had TV stations broadcasting movies, and you can watch movies at home, but those are broadcast late at night.

And now the VCD player Yang Ming mentioned allows you to watch movies anytime and anywhere.

With a small VCD disc and a CD player, you can watch the movies you like.

"It will be on the market soon. If you have a TV at home, you can play it through a VCD player."

. . .

A week later.

Errol found that he had fallen in love with life in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang is a place for fast-paced work, but that is only for ordinary people. Like the rich people in Hong Kong, they can usually watch horse racing, go out on a yacht, or drink tea on Victoria Peak and watch the scenery of Victoria Harbor and Victoria Peak.

It can be said that this is the big city where Errol imagined the wealthy people to live.

However, Errol still wants to return to South Philippines for development, mainly because all his relationships and partners are there. Now, with the support of Imperial Group, Errol feels that he can get more markets and make more money.

Today, Errol took Ma Shuk to the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa to meet Sir Yang.

"Mr. Errol, how was your week in Hong Kong?"

"It's very good. I really like the life in Hong Kong, especially the nightlife in Victoria Harbor and Lan Kwai Fong."

"Then you are assured that Ma Shuke is studying in Xiangjiang?"

“Very reassuring.”

With the status and influence of Yang Ming and the Imperial Group in Xiangjiang, Errol was very confident about his son's study in Xiangjiang.

And Yang Ming has already arranged for Ma Shuke's new school.

It is the very top-ranked Huangren Academy in Xiangjiang.

This is the earliest government middle school in Xiangjiang. Most of the students there are top academics and are very good in all aspects.

In addition to this, it is also a boys' high school.

"Mashuk, the courses you can receive at this middle school are similar to those you receive at the Boys' High School in Pretoria, but there are more Chinese courses."
