Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 289 The Video Standards Controversy

There are also many kinds of face projects. Take this baseball game as an example. The two sides have a tacit understanding. Dian Dian Xiao said,

There were many celebrities in the audience, Tang Huan was specially arranged to sit next to Mr. Jiang, and the other party was very interested, chatting a few words from time to time, which seemed to be whispering, and became the focus of the media from time to time.

Tang Huan understands that he will inevitably be taken advantage of by public opinion, but he doesn't care too much. In the first half of the year, I can watch a baseball game with you like this, and in the second half of the year, I can also go to the mainland to watch the NBA with such specifications. The strength lies in this Now, I am naturally qualified to go my own way.

Moreover, compared to the disturbances that may be caused, the respect received from those in power in Treasure Island is more valuable.

Mr. Tang, how long do you think it will take for the development of Baodao's high-tech industry to reach Japan's current level? Mr. Jiang's consultation showed his recognition of Tang Huan as an expert.

Even if Treasure Island reaches Japan's current level, Japan has already developed to a higher stage at that time, and the distribution pattern of industry interests in the entire world market will still not change. This goal is meaningless. Tang Huan replied with a faint smile. Straightforward.

What Baodao's high-tech industry needs at present is not large and comprehensive, nor the so-called prerequisites for technological digestion, but to quickly grasp the key points, point to point, and reach a world-class level in a certain field. For example, semiconductor manufacturing is a good cornerstone. Having said that, Tang Huan looked into the distance, I'm in Singapore. I also have the same opinion.

Mr. Xiao Jiang nodded. This area. We're already doing it.

However, the progress is still slow. The market for personal computers has risen. Like televisions, it will gradually spread to middle-class families in developed regions such as North America and Western Europe. Tang Huan looked at Mr. Jiang and made a powerful speech. gesture, So, even if the introduction of technology suffers a little bit in terms of price, we must win the time advantage.

Excessive dependence on one industry is very risky. Mr. Xiao Jiang laughed.

But this industry is a sunrise industry with unlimited prospects. As long as it has the first-mover advantage, it will make Baodao's economic performance eye-catching enough for at least a few decades. Seeing Mr. Jiang's reserved attitude, Tang Huan planned to stop this matter directly. topic, so as not to waste saliva.

Decades? Mr. Tang is very far-sighted. Mr. Xiao Jiang changed the subject and sighed meaningfully.

Tang Huan thought for a while, then slowly said: I do have a feeling. History is a circle that repeats itself, with twists and turns. In the end, everyone has to be pragmatic to survive.

The situation is different now. As long as Baodao can develop into the largest production base of high-tech products in the world, and it is not an insignificant passer-by, there is no need to be so unfounded.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan laughed and waved his hands, It's a vulgar opinion, just talk about it casually.

What you said is not unreasonable. Mr. Jiang thought thoughtfully, Take it personally, if you master a unique craft, it is relatively easy to live comfortably.

Tang Huan didn't continue to answer this question, because people's hearts are far away from each other, and they don't know what to do, and some topics can only be stopped in moderation.

By the way, I heard that DreamWorks, an entertainment company in Xiangjiang, has absorbed a lot of talents from Baodao. Mr. Jiang, who was still chatting, joked, Hu Yinmeng is the one you brought from Baodao. Let's go, her father still has a job.

Hearing this, Tang Huan sweated a little. It seems that no matter how high a person is, people still need gossip to spice up their lives.

It is undeniable that the talents of Baodao have considerable advantages in terms of connecting with the world. Tang Huan nodded slightly, Not only DreamWorks, but my Hollywood company has also established a joint venture company in Xiangjiang, and is also absorbing Chinese talents, including Chinese, are committed to producing competitive entertainment content and selling it to the United States.

Treasure Island has always attached great importance to education investment. Mr. Xiao Jiang showed a smug expression, I forgot that among Mr. Tang's many identities, there is also a Hollywood boss.

Mr. Xiao Jiang turned his gaze to Mr. Song, With the convenience of Mr. Tang in Hollywood, there will definitely be more colorful guest candidates for the Golden Horse Awards in the future.

Indeed. Mr. Song nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the two playing the double reed in unison, Tang Huan murmured in his heart, this is obviously a forced apportionment of the cold.

However, if there is a future, there will be a future. You must know that according to the historical development, in the next ten years, Baodao will have a very important proportion of consumption in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Within the scope of ability, it's a trivial matter. Tang Huan smiled generously, and then began to seek benefits from Mr. Jiang by insinuating.

Among the various intrigues, the time of a ball game is naturally very short.

The minor league team brought by Tang Huan won by a narrow margin, and the scene was also very good. This result can be called happy.

When Second Miss Jiang's son Yu Zhusheng came to say hello with his baseball gear in his arms, Mr. Jiang was slightly taken aback, then laughed loudly, his face full of joy.

Tang Huan glanced at Mr. Song, thinking that this arrangement inspired by the other party was really good for him, and he didn't know what kind of catalytic effect the family card would have.

...

After finishing the official article, Tang Huan's next job content quickly changed from fiction to reality, such as inspecting the related industry partners of Fangyuan Computer and Xiaobawang Game Console.

Acer has obtained the authorization of the first-generation Fangyuan computer, and finally has a stable product that can be sold.

For the purpose of unifying the software platform, Tang Huan is ready to hand over the market of the first-generation Fangyuan computer to the local enterprises in Taiwan, and let them go to sell sales. After the user demand is further stimulated, it has to be transferred to the second-generation Fangyuan computer platform. Meet business needs.

In other words, although the first-generation Fangyuan computer still has a long life cycle, its status is becoming more and more used for entry and practice. And use this to get a preliminary understanding of Zheru's software family.

Acer gets this benefit. Nature is extremely happy. But they don't know that their subordinate status has become more and more difficult to change since then.

Lianhua Electronics finally developed an intel8086-compatible cpu product, and based on this, it won an order for the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

But Tang Huan handed a report to general manager Cao Xingcheng, and said bluntly: It is also a compatible product from the second supplier, but in terms of execution efficiency and energy consumption, amd can achieve 20% optimization. , but you're not even half as good as they are, man. It's a long way to go.

Compared with previous inspections, Tang Huan's attitude this time was much more serious.

Under Tang Huan's guidance, Baodao's high-tech industry has made remarkable achievements in the initial stage, and it has also received various official praises and media acclaim. I believe some people will definitely be complacent, or simply exaggerate this. This kind of progress, so as to get an ascending channel.

Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to these phenomena, but due to the huge pressure from the American market, he naturally wanted to pass it on to the downstream to beat these people in front of him. Don't just follow along with the soup, you have to do your job beautifully. Otherwise, let alone entering the US market, even Japan will come to squeeze the living space.

And Lianhua Electronics, who was still immersed in the joy of success, could only bear it obediently after being splashed with cold water by Tang Huan. After all, the gap was clearly there.

However, Lianhua Electronics cannot say that it has no grievances. You must know that AMD has been in the field of producing compatible products for many years and has already established a solid foundation.

In every chip including CPU, there are a large number of circuit gates, which can be completely expressed in Boolean mathematical logic in theory.

As a compatible manufacturer standing on the shoulders of predecessors to improve, the content of optimization includes streamlining circuit gates.

UMC is like a student in the first year of junior high school, who can only do simple questions like a*cb*c=(ab)*c when combining similar items in algebra; amd is like a top student in the upper grades, and even the difficult questions of Olympiad are not a problem .

Under the premise of such an obvious gap between the two parties, it is already good to be able to give the correct answer to the question. Therefore, it is quite unfair for Lianhua Electronics, which has not received much praise from Tang Huan.

In the production of peripheral equipment such as display components, host power supplies, etc., the Guo brothers' Hon Hai performed very well. Tang Huan nodded secretly, and it really has the potential of a large foundry.

In short, during this inspection, Tang Huan basically beat all the industrial partners gathered around him, allowing them to share the huge competitive pressure from the external market, so as to further enhance the centripetal force.

However, when it was time to give a speech at the university, Tang Huan immediately put on a smiling face that made people feel refreshed, and exchanged experiences and insights with the students.

In terms of university education, Formosa has indeed cultivated a group of solid science and engineering talents.

In the original time and space, this group of Chinese seemed to have become a small technical backbone force in Silicon Valley. Although they were not as well-known as Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan, they were equally successful.

Tang Huan was talking and laughing happily, and he was also looking for someone with a little reputation in his impression.

Apart from the admiration for Tang Huan's success, the campus students' welcome to Tang Huan does not exclude the factor of interest.

Because Boss Tang actually launched a plan to subsidize study abroad in the United States, and not only those with excellent academic performance are expected to get this quota, but also those with specialties in sports, art, etc. are also included in the scope of inspection.

...

In the evening, Weng Jingjing, who has always been an invisible follower, asked with a smile: Can a big man also be a good actor? For example, these days, I found that your image changes very frequently, and your clothes are seamless.

Are you mocking me? Tang Huan smiled and patted Weng Jingjing's small buttocks. Compared to Guan Zhilin's cuteness, the little witch in front of her was also very lovable.

How could it be. I just think that you are so good that you can master whatever you do. Weng Jingjing couldn't wait to send a sweet kiss.

I asked someone to take you to play, why don't you go? Tang Huan asked comfortably, sniffing the faint body fragrance and touching his soft waist with his hands.

It's boring, it's better to stay by your side for fun. Weng Jingjing replied without thinking.

Facing the girl's clear adoring eyes, Tang Huan's conquest began to overflow, turned over and pressed her down, and said with a low laugh: My little brother. I want to hear your cry again.

...

Trip to Baodao. It can be said that everyone is happy. Sweep away the haze caused by Deng Lijun's performance before.

Seeing that the matter was almost handled, Tang Huan hurriedly set off for Japan. Apart from inspecting as usual, he mainly wanted to find some good things.

After Tang Huan took over MGM, a money-losing product, due to the long-standing malpractice, it would be difficult to rectify it for a while.

Tang Huan even began to doubt after witnessing how bad MGM was. Is Kirk Kerkorian the same as in the original time and space, waiting for the other party to be overwhelmed, and then buying MGM back to make a fuss.

Although with the financial support of the Kuwaiti royal family, MGM can be adjusted slowly, but this does not show Tang Huan's unique ability. thought.

There is no doubt that the sooner the results are released, the better for Tang Huan.

Ever since, Tang Huan turned his brains to MGM's huge film library.

In the original time and space. That's why Ted Turner bought MGM. It intends to use its video library to supplement the broadcast content of Turner Broadcasting Company.

In areas with a mature business environment like North America, the awareness of copyright protection has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Of course, in the specific operation process, it also depends on whether the stakeholders can afford the protection costs in terms of money, time, etc.

But in the television industry, which is already considered a veteran industry, everyone is still very disciplined.

MGM can conduct licensing contacts and negotiations in this field, but everyone is a shrewd businessman, and may not be willing to invest too much money in this kind of unreasonable business.

Ted Turner also spent so much money because he had his own TV network.

Tang Huan wanted to learn from Ted Turner, but he only had two TV stations in Xiangjiang and Oakland, so he was unable to further invest in this field for the time being.

In view of this, Tang Huan turned his attention to the wider mass consumer market, which is where the real money comes out.

In the original time and space in 1983, the video recorder has become a common consumer product in American families, and the various economic benefits brought about by it are considerable.

Its deep-rooted position in the US market cannot be shaken even when it was all the rage in the 1990s. It was not until the DVD era that it began to loosen, and then entered the era of high-definition video.

From VCR, DVD to Blu-ray, no matter what kind of product, there are three logical elements, namely player, content carrier, and storage format. Taken together, it is the so-called video standard.

Players—regardless of the actual home appliance or the software in the computer, the content carrier—whether it is a video tape, CD or hard disk file, users can have a clear look and feel.

In comparison, the format protocol that determines how the content is stored is clearly the role of passers-by.

In terms of competition for video standards, various manufacturers have always been swords and swords. The winners are princes and losers are not enough to describe this kind of tragedy.

After dvd dominated the world calmly, the high-definition era is blu-ray and hddvd two major camps.

The blu-ray disc alliance formed by Sony, Matsushita Electric and other companies on the blu-ray side; the hddvd promotion association formed by companies such as Toshiba, Sanyo Electric and so on.

The two have many similarities in terms of technology. The obvious difference is that the single-sided single-layer capacity of Blu-ray disc is 25GB, and the single-sided double-layer capacity is 50GB; while HDDVD single-sided single-layer capacity is 15GB, and single-sided for 30gb.

Therefore, who can win the two standards mainly depends on which side's supporters are strong.

Sony in the Blu-ray camp is directly assisted by its own game console, Hollywood's Columbia.

The hddvd camp has been supported by Microsoft's home game consoles, and Hollywood's Universal has also joined in.

Of course, there are also hedgers, such as hp, Paramount and so on.

This standard war, which burns money all the time, started in 2002, and it was not until 2008 that Toshiba announced its decision to terminate the development of hddvd players and recorders, stop production/game hddvd disc players, and end its hddvd business ended.

Don't look at the two standard camps with Japanese companies as the protagonists, fighting to the death and life and death, but the irony is that the real decision of their fate is not entirely on their own, but American companies, such as Hollywood, and even Looks like unrelated retail giant Walmart.

At the same time, it is said that the pornographic film industry, which favors the large-capacity storage capacity of Blu-ray, also played a decisive role, but this factor, like its driving the development of broadband Internet demand, cannot be discussed on the bright side.

Sony, which completely won the battle for high-definition video standards, stumbled in the battle for video recorder standards in the 1980s more than 20 years ago.

And Tang Huan came to Japan this time, so he naturally knew which standard to choose in order to make money without losing money. (To be continued..)
