Chapter 629 VCD Brand Explosion
These companies that have purchased VCD patent licenses have actually been able to produce VCDs long ago, but they have been unable to produce them because of patent protection restrictions.
Now that I have obtained the patent authorization, although the price is high, compared with the profit, it is still acceptable. The important thing is that they don't want to miss this opportunity, and they can produce VCDs while researching new technologies. If they can research alternative technologies, the big cake in the future may not necessarily belong to anyone!
Dongzhi has also obtained patent authorization. All large consumer electronics giants have obtained patent authorization, either by themselves or in cooperation with others. Only Sony was kicked out of the venue at the very beginning.
After the person in charge of Sony went back, he was pointed and scolded by Oga Norio, and said that with the VCD, he could re-enter the Chinese market. Now the opportunity has been directly stifled in the bud, and the production line prepared before is all t fee!
Sony does not value the profit of vcd, but the workers related to exercise to prepare for their future launch of dvd. Although the main patented technology of DVD is also in the hands of Feng Yu, but if the industry standard can be successfully formulated by them, Fengyu Electronics will still have to compromise in the future, and the storage capacity, clarity and other aspects of DVD are a big step forward , especially if it can also be applied to computers, which they value more.
Now it's over, vcd can't be produced, dvd industry standards haven't decided the winner yet, just investment, no profit, this business is a big loss!
However, the DVD industry standard promoted by Sony is a joint venture with Dongzhi, so Norio Ohga personally went to the president of Dongzhi to discuss the cooperation of VCD.
Sony has a ready production line, and can invest, ask for a share of profits, and jointly develop dvd. If they can successfully develop DVD playback equipment first, and the technology is mature, then it is not certain which one will earn more, they or Fengyu Electronics.
Dongzhi thought about it and decided to cooperate with Sony. It is also because they have other cooperation in many aspects, and it is not appropriate to offend their allies.
But the brand of this vcd, they don't agree to call it Dongzhi Sony, or Dongsuo for short. It must be called Dongzhi. Sony had to make concessions, and in the end the two parties cooperated to establish a Dongzhi brand VCD, in which Sony produced equipment and workers. It only took 40% of the shares to contribute funds.
Dongzhi's vcd was launched for sale, but it was blocked in the island country. Sharp, Fujitsu, nec, Songxia and many other electronics giants have also launched VCDs.
Although with strong production capacity and higher efficiency, the cost of Dongzhi's vcd is very low, but the same is true for other companies. The cost of everyone is not much different, and you can sell it at a reduced price. So can we.
At this time, Aiwa Company, which originally dominated the VCD market in the island country,
But there has been no action, not even a price cut, and it seems that these companies have tacitly agreed to compete.
Not only island countries, Europe, America and other countries and regions have many vcd brands popping up, even China has new vcd brands appearing.
Feng Yu doesn't care about other countries, but he made it very clear to the four domestic manufacturers. You can produce VCDs, but don't think about low-price promotions. If you really want to do it. Then the wind and rain vcd and Aihua vcd will start to cut prices, and then the four of you will be finished!
Of course, Feng Yu didn't ask them to set the price very high and raise the product price. Feng Yu told them. The main target of Fengyu Electronics and Aihua Electronics is the foreign market, but if anyone wants to touch our rear base camp, then don't blame us for being rude.
At that time, if your vcds cannot be sold, the deposit you paid will be in vain!
These companies that have purchased VCD patented technology all have a deposit, and they must sell at least 10,000 VCDs every year. Fengyu Electronics also follows this standard and collects deposits from various companies. If anyone fails to complete, then sorry, the deposit will not be refunded, and the authorization for the second year will also be automatically terminated.
A family of 500,000 US dollars, and 46 companies, just for the deposit, Fengyu Electronics received 23 million US dollars, just in time to expand the production line and produce more advanced super VCDs!
Not only Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, and various factories of Aiwa Company are updating some equipment and expanding production lines.
This time everyone agrees with Feng Yu's point of view. It is time for the VCD industry to explode. If the entire industry improves, then their super VCD will be more compatible, clearer, easier to use, and have so many new functions. Continue to lead the market trend and occupy the largest market share.
Although the market share will be divided by other brands, but the overall market has improved, and their sales will not decrease, but will increase.
What makes many vcd manufacturers curious is why Philips, which cooperated with Fengyu Electronics, did not launch a vcd. Don't they also have patent authorization?
Besides the China market, the prices of VCDs in other markets have started to drop. The sales of Fengyu VCDs, Aiwa VCDs, and Aiwa VCDs are all declining rapidly. Are they planning to give up these markets?
Giving up should not be possible. They all believe that Fengyu Electronics did not estimate the market enough and licensed its patents to too many companies, resulting in insufficient operation of its own brand.
For such a little patent licensing fee, they lost higher VCD profits, and Fengyu Electronics made a bad move.
The happiest thing here is Sony. You, Feng Yu, have today? Don't you grab our market every time? Stolen the portable music player market while our main focus was on movies and games.
Now, your vcd market is going to be taken away by us, right? What super vcd are you talking about? Haven't developed it yet?
The more prosperous the vcd market is, the happier Sony will be. Although Sony didn't make much money on vcd, after the market boomed, Sony-Columbia Films' various film copyrights became valuable.
The vcd player can cooperate with Dongzhi, but they can handle the production of vcd discs by themselves. The sale of these discs alone is a huge profit, not to mention that they have also won the copyrights of several other film companies and record companies. In this battle for the VCD market, Sony is the big winner !
Although Feng Yu asked Fu Guangzheng to buy as many copyrights as possible, but the copyrights of some companies are not something you can buy if you want. For example, those film companies and music companies that have a good relationship with Sony will never sell copyrights to them.
But Feng Yu was not in a hurry. Didn't Philips join in? Philips also has a music company, a company with a good relationship, and a lot of copyrights, which were acquired by Feng Yu.
The world's largest manufacturer of VCD discs is still Fengyu Electronics. And these factories not only produce ordinary VCD discs, but also produce super VCD discs, that is, discs that meet the DVD specification.
When the super vcd is launched on the market, it will be the time for these companies to cry! (To be continued.)
