Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 291 Apple is in trouble

Although the Japanese have always boasted about their high work efficiency, Akio Morita was still amazed at the speed with which Tang Huan signed all the cooperation documents. ⊙4⊙5⊙Chinese ⊙Chinese△↗,

He naturally didn't know that after Tang Huan saw Sony's 3.5-inch floppy disk system, he confirmed that this was the product that finally unified this field in the original time and space, so he didn't plan to make any detours.

In the final analysis, external devices such as hard disks and floppy disks belong to traditional mechanical and electrical products to a certain extent. They are very troublesome in design, production, quality control, etc. The way of using OEM is the most worry-free. Anyway, the price can be increased proportionally in the sales process.

Besides, this thing is installed in the main box, whether it is produced by Sony or other manufacturers, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Seeing that the business of the 3.5-inch floppy disk system was negotiated so smoothly, Akio Morita looked forward to the next betamax cooperation, Tang Huan's new surveillance system product plan, and the two Hollywood companies in his hands--United Artists and Michael Kors Mei, are extremely attractive.

You know, one of the major application areas of home video recorders now is to rent out movies that have been made into videotapes.

However, compared to the previous clean and quick, Tang Huan's subsequent actions and statements were obviously much more cautious.

It was not until after visiting the video tape business department the next day that he revealed the specific content of the cooperation intention.

I noticed that you are developing a new generation of technology for professional and broadcast applications to replace the original u-format. Can I participate in this project and cooperate?

See Tang Huan's interest suddenly shifted. Akio Morita was slightly taken aback. nodded. Of course you are welcome.

I hope to be able to share patents and have the right to conduct research and development in new directions based on the original technology. Tang Huanyouran said.

If Tang Huan wanted to take a shortcut to make quick money in the home video recorder business, then he planned to work hard in the professional field.

Naturally derived from betamax, it takes advantage of the high image quality of this format, and it is completely predictable that it will become the de facto professional standard in the electronic news gathering (ENG) industry in the future.

In the original time and space. VHS wins in the mass consumption field, wins in the professional application field, and can also support digital video.

It's just that these traditional manufacturers who master videotape standards monopolize too much, TV stations and other users. There is no choice but to be slaughtered, so after the emergence of new digital technology products,

was gradually abandoned.

But this is not the fault of technology, it can only be attributed to the original sin of capital.

Now record the analog signal to videotape. It is not difficult to achieve the purpose of supporting digital video through technical improvement on the original technical standard. At least it seemed so to Tang Huan.

And once there is digital audio-visual, then Fangyuan computer will have a new application.

I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so interested in it. Akio Morita laughed while thinking.

I have an independent TV station in Xiangjiang and Auckland, so when I saw the project, I suddenly felt that its prospects should be good, and it can completely make film a history. Tang Huan found a reason and explained it in order to dissuade the other party. doubts.

After hearing this, Akio Morita was noncommittal. He was a little undecided. Everyone knows that technology monopolies make huge profits, but sharing patents always feels like cutting flesh, but Tang Huan has a good card.

What does Mr. Tang think of betamax? Akio Morita finally decided that even if it was an exchange, he had to look at the other party's chips.

Sony has been cultivating in the field of video tapes for many years. It can be said that betamax is good enough. Tang Huan nodded. The products can be OEM, replaced with our trademark, and the profits are shared.”

Hearing that Tang Huan was making such a calculation, Akio Morita blushed and waved his hands repeatedly: This is against Sony's purpose of building a world brand.

Then how about the two of us setting up a joint company to produce video recorders and video tape products under a new brand? Tang Huan made a small retreat.

Akio Morita continued to shake his head and refused, If Mr. Tang is interested, you can buy the patent from us and produce it yourself.

Tang Huan laughed, thinking that when I built the factory, I might miss a lot of market quotations.

Goldman Sachs has already discussed the acquisition. Such a large sales network can also be used to sell video recorders and video tapes, and the sooner the finished product is released, the better.

But from Sony's point of view, Akio Morita's choice is understandable, after all, Sony has an absolute monopoly advantage in this field.

Regarding this result, Tang Huan, who had already ascertained the true and false, was able to accept it, but it was a pity that he didn't take advantage of it.

However, words cannot be dead.

This time is in a hurry and time is limited, so let's talk about it first. Tang Huan spread his hands regretfully, Everyone will keep in touch and hope to have a chance to discuss next time.

Watching Tang Huan get into the car, Oga Norio said to Akio Morita in a low voice: President, we have already obtained the authorization of the first-generation Fangyuan computer, and the product sales are good. Maybe we can get the second-generation Fangyuan computer first through exchange. authorization of the computer.

Akio Morita shook his head, But his appetite is too great. Both the professional field and the mass market want to mix it up. After so many years of hard work, we have achieved the current leading edge in video tape technology, and we really handed it over. , Is it appropriate? A company that has only been established for a few years is not worthy of our concession.

Dahe Dianxiong hesitated to speak, thinking what to do if Tang Huan went to JVS for cooperation, but then he changed his mind, Sony's betamax left VHS far behind, so it would be no harm to have one more Tang Huan.

It's just a pity that what the other party said is a new generation of computer-controlled monitoring system. Did not see the true face of Mount Lu.

...

After getting in the car. Weng Jingjing, who cameo as a follower, snorted. I really don't know how to flatter, Sony will definitely regret it soon.

Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, touched the pink face of the girl who blindly worshiped him, and said leisurely: You really have a unique eye.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to tell Sony that users in the home video recorder market are more concerned about playback time and program exchange, and the picture quality is not as high as the professional field. You insist on the business model successfully summarized from the u-standard. Empirical mistakes can be made.

Since you don't want to share benefits equally, let me go and see, it is likely to add a big weight to that side of the balance.

...

Panasonic and Sony were partners when the u-standard was introduced in the early 1970s, but they soon parted ways.

Afterwards, Sony developed betamax, which was intended to replace u-, while Panasonic basically failed on a similar project, vx.

In 1974, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan attempted to unify video standards in order to alleviate consumers' confusion caused by the chaotic competition in the home video market.

At this time, Sony's betamax technology maturity is already very high. Almost finished. And Sony convinced MITI to make betamax the industry standard. Other vendors will need to purchase this license.

Compared with Sony's monopoly, it is more open in terms of standards.

Panasonic, which has basically no prospects for VX research and development, finally decided to promote the VHS standard of its own subsidiary.

Of course, there are more manufacturers who are jealous of Sony's behavior of eating alone. As a result, companies such as Hitachi and Mitsubishi were pulled into the VHS camp by Panasonic.

With so many people and so much power, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry had to give up its plan to implement a unified industry standard, and Sony's wishful thinking fell through.

It can be said that the confrontation between the two major video standard camps revolves around the distribution of market interests.

...

Fully displaying the image of a spoiler who is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, Tang Huan and his party arrived at its headquarters in Yokohama, and all requirements were met.

It is also a video recorder, why is there such a big gap?

After Tang Huan secretly sighed, he communicated with the two founders of vhs and found that there is no corresponding project for the time being.

This is no wonder, after all, they are now in the stage of catching up with Sony technology.

It seems that the idea has to be continued, but before that, it is better to monetize MGM's film library through home video recorders as soon as possible.

At that time, Sony can't bear the pressure of betamax's decline, and maybe it will take the initiative to ask for cooperation on the project.

Now that the VHS standard was temporarily selected, Tang Huan immediately asked his subordinates to further finalize the matter, and he took Weng Jingjing to play in Tokyo at his leisure.

Because the scope of activities in Japan this time is in this area, the actual impact on the work is not great.

...

During this period of time, Weng Jingjing had been by her side, and Tang Huan had witnessed with her own eyes the process of turning a pure girl into a charming little woman.

Just like tonight, Weng Jingjing, who had been trained, once again took the initiative to lie on the man's lap and lick the lollipop with gusto, while Tang Huan rested his head on his hands and squinted his eyes to enjoy it.

You must have fallen asleep. Weng Jingjing, who had been busy for a while, raised her head and asked.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, Younger brother, sit up by yourself.

Weng Jingjing obediently climbed onto Tang Huan's body and started to move slowly.

How about it, do you think you are qualified to work as a secretary during this time? Tang Huan joked.

I don't seem to know how to do anything except serving tea and water. Weng Jingjing replied depressedly.

Tang Huan laughed loudly, pushed up hard, and reprimanded: Then I will arrange for you to continue to school, and I will push you back and forth.

Weng Jingjing snorted weakly, I think acting is fun now, I don't want to go to school.

With your smartness, you can go to school and take on the show at the same time. It's not a problem. When you can go to college, you can arrange your own time. Tang Huan rubbed Weng Jingjing's buttocks, step by step Said: When you are of great use, I will transfer you to my side as a real secretary.

Weng Jingjing, whose face was flushed, thought for a moment with sparkling eyes, and then nodded, This has a good future, and then we can make out in the office like this.

The little witch is quite capable of pretending to be crazy and foolish. It's okay if you don't punish her well. Tang Huan turned over and pressed Weng Jingjing under him.

...

On the second day, Tang Huan originally wanted to follow the plan, continue to deal with official business in the morning, and take Weng Jingjing to play in the afternoon, but a news came from the United States, which made him have to terminate this happy life combining work and rest in advance .

Wanting to bid farewell to the man who occupied her body and mind these days, the reluctant Weng Jingjing couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Tang Huan smiled and kissed the girl. Little fool, we will meet in Xiangjiang soon.

Then I'll wait for you in Xiangjiang. After all, Weng Jingjing is a different girl. Quickly picked up his feelings.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan nodded secretly. The other party has always been able to understand the general situation, and it is not easy at the age of rebellion.

When you go back, give this to your mother so that she won't nag you. Remember not to lose it, or it will be cheaper for others. Tang Huan put an exquisite little gift box in the girl's hand.

Weng Jingjing nodded, but didn't look at it, and put it in her bag casually.

Someone will pick you up at Xiangjiang Airport, so you don't have to worry about what you bring. Tang Huan comforted Weng Jingjing again, and the two said goodbye.

...

Although Weng Jingjing is precocious and makes herself look calm on the surface, it is impossible not to feel melancholy in her heart.

After the plane landed and set foot on the familiar land of Xiangjiang again, she returned to normal, and she was that tricky little witch again.

The person who came to pick her up, Weng Jingjing knew, was one of Tang Huan's four bodyguards in Xiangjiang, Zheng Gang. She secretly gave him a nickname, Sai Zhang Fei, but she hadn't had a chance to call it out yet.

After being sent home by Zheng Gang, Weng Jingjing saw her mother Zhao Xiaoyu standing in the living room, looking at herself coldly, Stinky girl, your skills are getting better and better, and you have gone crazy for such a long time, dragging two Do you think you are great when you come back with a suitcase?

For you. Weng Jingjing rolled her eyes, took out the small gift box that Tang Huan specially handed over to her, put it in her mother's hands, and then dragged the suitcase into her bedroom.

The stinky girl is quite proud. Zhao Xiaoyu complained in anger, opened the small gift box casually, then fell silent, dumbfounded.

I saw three pure gemstones of red, green, and blue in the box. The well-informed Zhao Xiaoyu could confirm at a glance that these were rare natural gemstones.

Ruby, emerald, sapphire, it's definitely not easy to put them together. It seems that the girl has found a big backer in the past few days. Zhao Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

...

Hearing that the living room suddenly became quiet, Weng Jingjing smiled wryly and shook her head. When she was a rogue on the plane, she quietly looked at what was inside, and was also stunned for a while.

Opening the two suitcases, Weng Jingjing stared at the contents inside, and couldn't help being slightly stunned.

When I was shopping at the beginning, I didn't think so much, I didn't expect to accumulate so much.

Weng Jingjing counted them casually, and the estimated value surprised him.

Xiangjiang was originally a materialistic society, coupled with the influence of the family environment, Weng Jingjing did not have any hypocritical thoughts in her heart, but smiled complacently, Tang Huan really loved herself.

Weng Jingjing tidied up her things, and after a while, her mother Zhao Xiaoyu walked in, looked at it silently for a while, and then asked lightly, You're looking for a man.

You have Uncle Liu as your backer, so I will naturally find one too. Weng Jingjing replied calmly.

Zhao Xiaoyu snorted coldly, and asked coldly, Who is the other party? Don't be fooled by other people's rhetoric.

That's my own business, so don't meddle in it. Weng Jingjing said sharply, Besides, even if you tie up with my Uncle Liu, you won't be seen by the other party.

Being robbed by her daughter, Zhao Xiaoyu not only didn't get annoyed as usual, but nodded and smiled, I guess who the other party is, the boss Tang who sent you back, right?

Seeing that Weng Jingjing didn't admit it or deny it, Zhao Xiaoyu's smile grew wider, As expected of my daughter, her vision and methods are first-rate.

Weng Jingjing rolled her eyes and reminded, His strength is beyond your imagination, you'd better keep your distance.

...

Recently passed, Apple, which has been chasing and intercepting ibm-, has gone into trouble.

After the research and development, Woz, who has nothing to do, plans to drive his own private jet, a Beechcraft Regal model, and take his fiancee to her uncle to order a wedding ring.

As a result, at the Sky Garden Airport in Scotts Valley, California, Woz's private jet fell headfirst during takeoff and crashed.

Fortunately, no one suffered serious life-threatening injuries. Woz stayed in the hospital for a few days and then came out.

However, everyone had to accept a cruel, Apple founder and technology icon Woz, suffering from intermittent amnesia.

This also means that Woz is not competent for Apple's technology research and development work.
