Six Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Open the Grade
Thomas came to China again, and discussed with Feng Yu about the launch time of the super vcd.
Although he promised not to release ordinary VCDs, but the technology of Super VCDs has matured, and he still felt that it was a waste of time to continue waiting.
"Mr. Feng, we originally discussed to launch a super vcd together in September, but now that the vcd market has risen ahead of schedule, and traditional video recorders have withdrawn from the stage of history, should we launch a super vcd ahead of time?" Thomas suggested.
Feng Yu nodded: "Of course, there are no major technical problems. The first generation will be launched this year, and the second generation will be launched next year. However, I suggest that our appearance design should be slightly different, such as the position of the buttons, color matching, etc. Wait, but the style of the remote control, it's better to be unified."
"Of course, I know that you Chinese people like red, so we will give up the red color scheme and mainly use silver, gray and black. With two-color matching, we can produce three styles with different colors." Thomas had already thought about it. , These three colors should be the most mainstream home appliance colors, and match well with the furniture at home.
"Okay, then let's give up the gray and use other colors as a match. The power amplifier, is it the same color as the super vcd?"
A power amplifier, also known as a power amplifier, can be simply called a loudspeaker. It is one of the most basic devices in an audio system. It can amplify the sound and make the effect better, so that it can have the effect of home theater and karaoke.
Philips power amplifiers are called a~v power amplifiers, which have four channels and surround sound, so that when people watch DVDs, the ambient sound effects are more real, and it feels like watching a movie in a cinema. The main target of this power amplifier is family viewing.
The power amplifier researched by aiwa is a hi-fi power amplifier, that is, a high-fidelity power amplifier. Only two channels, the most suitable for listening to music. The main target of this power amplifier is those ktv, dance halls. Those who go there are singing.
The technology of this equipment is not too difficult, and Philips and aiwa produce power amplifiers themselves, and everyone communicated to improve each other's technology.
"Then our super vcd, what are some random gifts? Besides an ordinary CD of songs, what else should it have?" Thomas asked humbly. In this regard, Fengyu Electronics has more experience than Philips.
"Two microphones, a cleaning solution for wiping and cleaning discs, and a disc case."
"Mr. Feng, I know that the microphone is used for singing, and the cleaning agent is also used to prevent the stains on the surface of the disc from affecting reading. These are all normal, but what's the use of sending a disc case?" Thomas was a little confused, and sent the disc The box makes no sense at all.
Feng Yu asked with a smile: "Mr. Thomas.
If there is a big TV cabinet in your home, but there is only a small TV on it, do you feel awkward? Will you want to buy a big TV? "
Thomas said uncertainly: "Yes. But for many families, they can only afford small TVs."
Feng Yu snapped his fingers: "If the answer is correct, they can only afford a small TV. They just need to watch some TV. Although they want to buy it, they are reluctant. But discs are different. A disc costs two or three dollars. The expensive one is only five dollars. You said they have a vcd at home, and if they see an empty disc case, would they want to buy some discs. Fill the case full?"
Thomas's eyes became brighter, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Feng, you are such a genius! Yes, many people may be reluctant to change the TV, but buying a disc, maybe a child can do it. A disc case. Inside is There is only one disc, it is really too big, and normal people would feel uncomfortable. But we are the second largest producer and seller of genuine discs, and there is a high probability that they will buy our discs!"
Feng Yu experienced this situation in his previous life, when he bought a vcd, others gave him a disc case. You said that the box is completely empty, does it make you feel uncomfortable? Although he is not obsessive-compulsive, he also wants to put a few more discs in it. As for putting away the disc case, it would feel a bit wasteful. Shouldn't the disc case be placed next to the vcd.
The old TV cabinet is really a cabinet with drawers or something underneath. But the new type of TV cabinet is different. The whole is a shelf, divided into two or three layers. The top is for TV, the bottom is for VCD player, power amplifier and so on, and there is a drawer at the bottom, which can put discs, remote control and so on. of.
There is even a transparent plastic drawer directly under some TV cabinets, which is specially used to put discs. People who bought VCDs are definitely not used to leaving this place empty, so they will buy VCDs.
This disc box is for those who don't have a TV cabinet. Moreover, after a disc case is full, many people will not be able to resist buying a second disc case, which is guided consumption.
"Mr. Thomas, our biggest competitor in the optical disc market is Sony. In Asia, we are the main competitor. In Europe, you are the main competitor. In the Americas, we will encircle and suppress Sony together."
"Okay, this market, we must firmly grasp it in our own hands!" Thomas nodded vigorously.
"Super vcd, what's the retail price of Philips, how much do you plan to set?" Feng Yu asked.
"How about four hundred dollars? Is the price a little high?" Thomas asked. Although the cost of this super vcd is a bit higher than that of ordinary vcd players, it is not too much higher, and the cost is only more than one hundred dollars.
Now, the price of ordinary vcds is around 300 dollars, so Thomas is worried that the price of this super vcd is too high, and not many people will buy it.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Feng Yu shook his head.
"How about four hundred dollars, I think five hundred dollars is more appropriate!" Feng Yu said.
ah? Is it not that the price is too high, is it that the price is too low? Thomas couldn't figure it out, how could Feng Yu set the price so high, was it to stimulate the sales of their ordinary vcds? But Philips doesn't have an ordinary VCD, isn't that a bit of a disadvantage?
"Mr. Thomas thinks the price is too high? You don't have to worry at all, because the function of our super vcd is much stronger than ordinary vcd. And the discs we will release in the future will also be discs with larger capacity, ordinary vcd, It may not be possible to read it."
"What I mean is to convert VCD into two grades, just like black and white TVs and color TVs. The price of color TVs is more than twice that of black and white, but people still want to buy color TVs, right? Super vcds are high-end products among vcds, and the price of ordinary vcds will be lowered again to increase the level." Feng Yu explained.
"Ordinary vcds, do you want to lower the price?" Thomas was a little surprised. This is an initiative to reduce profits, so he really has no objections.
"The price of ordinary vcds has been reduced to about two hundred dollars, so that other vcd brands will be dragged down by us. They just need to open up the market for us. If they want to share this big cake, that's not possible!" Feng Yu said with a smile.
"Then when is our launch date?"
"On August 1st, the world will be listed simultaneously!" (To be continued.)
