1991 Starting from the core

Materials and brochures were brought to the booth. These materials introduced the principles, parameters, functions, advantages, and market prospects of VCD in detail in three languages: Chinese, English, and Japanese.

Su Yuanshan noticed that after seeing the parameters, many Western-faced merchants expressed regret - just as he knew at the beginning of the project, although VCD is much cheaper than traditional video tapes, it also follows mpeg1. The new standard for the digital age. However, due to the limitations of compression standards, it can only maintain a resolution of 352x288 in the PAL format, which has no advantage in image quality compared to traditional home video recorders.

And in essence, MPEG1 can only be regarded as an attempt by the International Organization for Standardization to deal with digital video and audio, laying the foundation for subsequent high-definition algorithms. As early as two years ago, the West Side Film Production Industry Advisory Committee represented Hollywood's seven Major movie studios put forward a vision, hoping that there would be a 135-minute optical disc medium with better picture and sound quality than LD - which was later known as DVD disc.

But in the previous life, it was not until Wanyan launched the VCD player in 1993 that this vision quickly became a goal. Through Wanyan's dissection, major optical drive and optical disc giants such as Philips, Sony, and Toshiba, who have mastered the VCD manufacturing technology, have taken action one after another. During this period, they have formed various alliances and even endured humiliation, staging a drama of competition for DVD standards. This was the final determination of the standard - only the standard for DVD discs. As for the encoding and decoding standard, it was determined by the MPEG organization as early as 1994, which was the subsequent MPEG2.

After Wan Yan invented the complete VCD machine, Sony, Philips, Panasonic and others also quickly formulated standards for the menu functions of the complete VCD machine. At the same time, they developed patents and began to attract blood in China, the birthplace and largest market of VCD - right? Very funny?

Now, Yuanxin not only masters the entire machine technology and patents, but also owns the decoding chip. This means that Su Yuanshan is qualified enough to sit at the poker table and set this VCD standard together with Sony, Philips and others.

This is Su Yuanshan's fundamental purpose.

In a sense, it was also a revelation brought to me by the man in front of me.

…

"Hello, Manager Jiang." Su Yuanshan smiled and handed a document to Jiang Wanmeng.

"Hello, hello." Jiang Wanmeng held the information but refused to look away from the VCD - he was still more than one meter away from the nearest one.

Su Yuanshan simply took out an unopened prototype from the audience and handed it to him: "Your research institute is engaged in television technology research, why are you interested in this?"

Jiang Wanmeng was slightly startled when he heard this, and then looked at the middle-aged man behind him who looked like he was eating Xiang.

Su Yuanshan stretched out his hand gently: "What do you call me?"

"Chen Yansheng."

"Oh, I've admired you for a long time." Su Yuanshan opened his name badge: "My name is Su Yuanshan, from Yuanxin Technology."

Chen Yansheng shook hands with a stern expression, a look of uncertainty on his face. He took the information and took a look at it before finally taking a breath: "How did you complete the decoding chip?"

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Last October."

Chen Yansheng's body trembled, and his eyes suddenly cast a shadow. After a long time, he said bitterly: "Our Scoop also designed a decoding chip based on the MPEG1 format..."

"Oh? That's such an unfortunate coincidence."

"Yeah... what a coincidence." Jiang Wanmeng sighed at the side, his eyes full of melancholy: "This morning, when I saw the decoding chip exhibited by Mr. Chen's company, I thought that I should be able to use this chip Create a new electrical appliance. We were just chatting... I didn't expect you to move the prototype directly."

Su Yuanshan smiled and said: "Oh? Is this what you imagine is also a VCD?"

"almost."

"Then... I'm really sorry." Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded at the two of them, stepped back and stopped talking.

If he still had some good feelings and regrets for Jiang Wanmeng, then he had no good feelings towards Chen Yansheng at all. When Wan Yan, which they founded together, encountered a crisis, Chen Yansheng abandoned Jiang Wanmeng without hesitation, and then made hundreds of millions by selling chips - the money was actually nothing, he should earn it. But after he made money, he didn't want to make progress, he just wanted to sell Scoop at a good price.

Su Yuanshan looked at the crowd and found that except for the faces from the east, the faces from the west were already preparing to leave. He nodded at Howard.

Howard, who couldn't wait any longer, took out the cordless phone from his pocket and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the center of the booth.

Then, Howard pointed the microphone at the handset.

A Xinghai employee understood, walked out of the crowd, and started dialing the exhibition extension number using mobile phone.

The shape of the handset is similar to the "Big Brother", but the use of digital signal technology makes its body much smaller than the "Big Brother", and the shape and size are closer to later generations of mobile phones. Therefore, when it rings, although people are attracted by the ringing of the phone, most of them look around with their eyes, and no one associates it with the phone.

Until Howard picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

His voice was clearly transmitted through the microphone to the ears of the confused-looking crowd.

"Holle! It's me. I'm at the exhibition, thinking about how to promote our cordless phones."

"Yes, the number you called is the extension of the office phone in the exhibition hall. I am forty meters away from the office now."

"Yes, if you install a cordless phone in your home, you can run around - it will completely eliminate extensions. Yes! It is a local rate, very cheap."

Seeing this guy acting seriously, everyone in Yuanxin suppressed their laughter and began to unpack several prototypes on the stand.

In fact, as soon as they see the real thing, people will immediately know the purpose of this cordless phone - but Howard, who is born with a strong desire to perform, insisted on adding drama to himself and said that he would demonstrate it in person, so Xi Xiaoding ran to the exhibition office to try to borrow it. An extension line was opened.

Compared with VCD, which is a bit useless product for Western countries, cordless phones instantly attracted the attention of all Westerners.

Even in Western society, mobile phone is still a tool used by a small number of talents - the tariff and its own price are on the one hand, and the popularity of public telephones and BP machines on the other hand. Whether it is a company, a home, or a public place, as long as you have a BP machine, you can easily complete instant messaging.

Not to mention the insane call quality of analog signals.

"Our cordless phone uses a digital signal baseband, and the call quality is stable. Even if we are 40 meters away, I can hear you clearly."

"From now on, whether you are going swimming, squatting on the toilet, or eating, you no longer need to run to your death as soon as the phone rings."

"That's right! Today, we are going to cut off that damn chain-like phone line."

Howard read the lines loudly, hitting the Westerner's G-spot word by word.
