Chapter 644: DVD Forum Part 2

Why is Feng Yu so calm? It's not that he thinks that after saying these conditions, they will cry and agree, but because he arranged childcare!

Child care is a very useful profession, and it will be very effective if used at an appropriate time, such as now. And if the childcare's identity is very strong, then the effect will be multiplied.

"Mr. Feng, we Microsoft decided to join this organization!"

Ga?

Everyone looked at an American in surprise. Is this a representative of Microsoft? What did he just say, Microsoft wants to join this organization?

Are you joking? You Microsoft produces software. Computer software has something to do with DVDs. Why are you here to join in the fun?

Feng Yu intentionally showed a look of surprise: "It's Vice President James, do you want to represent Microsoft and join the dvd forum?"

"Yes, I have been authorized by Microsoft's board of directors to represent Microsoft and join the dvd forum. Everyone will jointly develop, refine, and promote the Fengyu-Philips standard." James said loudly.

"When will Microsoft make DVDs?" Songxia's vice president asked suspiciously. He didn't doubt that James' identity, he expected that Feng Yu would not come up with such a clumsy scheme to lure them into being fooled, after all, he would have to sign legal documents at that time.

"We are not making DVDs, we are just interested in DVD recording technology." James said calmly.

The reason why he came here on behalf of Microsoft was naturally because Feng Yu called and convinced Bill Gates. Feng Yu is also the third largest shareholder of Microsoft. Although he has no say in Microsoft, Feng Yu's economic strength has already attracted Bill Gates' attention.

What's more, Feng Yu said that in the future, if the DVD drive is successfully developed, it can have a strategic cooperation with Microsoft, so that no matter it is on the system or on the hardware device, a computer. It will never be possible to leave them, and if they are tied up, everyone can make more money.

It's not so much Feng Yu's talk that moved Bill Gates, it's better to say that it's benefits that moved Bill Gates. In the face of almost visible profits, Bill? Gates has no reason to refuse this matter.

So James appeared here, and James also knew that Feng Yu was the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, and asked Feng Yu to let him be the first to stand up. Of course he would not refuse.

After Microsoft made this statement, other company executives were shocked. Microsoft has gradually become an industry authority in terms of software systems. In the past two years, its stock price has risen sharply.

It is the fastest growing company in market capitalization in recent years, none of them. And many people say that Microsoft may become one of the top companies in the world in the future. Such a company expresses its support. Although it is not a professional consumer electronics company, it has something to do with it. Can't help but they don't pay attention.

At this time, the representative of the second big company stood up: "On behalf of Thomson Corporation, I agree to join the organization and become a member."

Ga? Thomson also joined? This is a French state-owned electrical appliance company. It is also the home appliance company with the largest market share in the United States and the second largest home appliance company in Europe. It is also well-known in the field of consumer electronics. They even agreed!

But after thinking about it, Thomson is at the top of the industry in the field of TV technology and video recorder technology. It is also normal to join this association and study DVDs.

Next, companies such as Mingji and Hongji in Taiwan also expressed their intention to join, and some large companies in Europe also began to express their willingness to join the organization.

And these companies in the island countries. They originally wanted to join forces, but looking at it now, if they don't speak again, they will be excluded.

"We, Songxia, will also join."

"Our jvc also joined."

"Our nec will also join."

"I'm joining on behalf of Mitsubishi Corporation."

"Our South Korean four-star company joined."

"We Hitachi joined."

...

Representatives of more than 30 companies invited expressed their views one after another, and none of them wanted to withdraw. Several giants have joined, what are they still holding back?

Feng Yu looked at everyone with a smile. The matter is so simple, I invited Microsoft, Philips invited Thomson, and then asked Fu Guangzheng to publicize several companies in Baodao, wouldn't this matter be settled?

Now half of the big companies in the consumer electronics field in the world have joined the dvd forum, and most of the rest have not dabbled in the dvd business, and the few companies that have dabbled in the dvd forum have mostly followed Tozhi and Sony , Pioneer, HP, etc.

In other words, from now on, the dvd industry will be divided into two alliances. But it is obvious that Feng Yu's dvd forum is stronger, and the standards are more uniform.

The standards that Dongzhi and Pioneer started to implement are different in themselves. Even though they are united now, compatibility has not been done yet, and both sides are unwilling to give up. The result is already obvious.

Things went very smoothly. Everyone signed an agreement, declaring that they will abide by the guidelines of the dvd forum. If any company breaches the contract, it will make compensation to all other member units. The compensation standard for each company should not be lower than ten million dollars.

Although ten million dollars is a lot, it is easy for these big companies to come up with it. But if this number is magnified by more than 30 times and becomes more than 300 million US dollars, then it is definitely not a small amount, and any company must consider the consequences of betrayal.

Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Philips, aiwa, Microsoft, Thomson, Four Star, Songxia, and Tata Consulting became the first nine standard approval representative companies.

After the approval representatives were selected, Aihua Electronics immediately proposed that DVDs should follow the Fengyu-Philips standard, and those who agreed raised their hands.

Representatives of Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Philips, Aiwa, Microsoft, and Thomson all raised their hands. The representatives of the other three companies saw that they could pass it whether they raised their hands or not. Instead of being a villain, it is better to be a nice guy. So they also raised their hands, representing this standard, officially passed the dvd forum certification, and all companies must follow and promote this standard.

The members of the forum thought that this would be all right, and everyone should wait for Feng Yu to tell them about the preferential conditions. Didn’t the agreement say that after joining the dvd forum, the technical fees for some vcds should be reduced accordingly? ?

But immediately afterwards, AIWA raised the second topic, which was the standard of optical drive, to be precise, the standard of DVD optical drive.

Now there are already optical drives, but most of them are CD drives, and the only one with VCD drive technology is Fengyu Electronics Company, and it has authorized Lianxiang Company to install it on their new computers.

But the vcd drive is just a transitional product. The most practical in the future and will continue to be used will only be the dvd drive, and Fengyu Electronics is still ahead of other companies in this regard.

After the standard was put forward, it was unanimously approved without any surprises. Feng Yu had already got everything he wanted. (To be continued.)
