Chapter 933

With Toshiba's participation, the shipment volume of iPlayer in the global market exceeded 200000 in September. Although it is less than one third of the global sales volume of MD, it is only seven months since Sony produced the first portable yer. This achievement is encouraging enough.

In October, the sales volume of iPlayer also increased to 240000 pieces. At this time, the core components of microprocessor and audio decoding of iPlayer can only be provided by the joint venture of Deyi and Jinhu, and the storage components can only be provided by Toshiba and Samsung, which makes the global market development of iPlayer clear to relevant enterprises.

Toshiba's influence in the global electronics industry and subdivided into the global portable audio electronics market is beyond doubt, which is incomparable to Jinhu at this time.

Before Toshiba joined, there were nearly 30 enterprises authorized by Jinhu product technology transfer and sales agent in the world, but until August, the monthly delivery volume of iPlayer in the global market did not exceed 100000.

Toshiba officially launched iPlayer products in late August. In September, the sales volume of Toshiba alone exceeded 80000 pieces. Under the influence of Toshiba, the monthly sales volume of Jinhu and other electronic manufacturers increased significantly, reaching 120000 pieces in September. In October, Toshiba's sales exceeded 100000 pieces, and other companies shared the remaining 140000 pieces.

As the inventor of product technology, Jinhu was the first to launch mature iplayers. The number of iplayers sold under the i-d-e-a brand just exceeded 40000 in October. However, to Zhang Ke's satisfaction, Jinhu has initially established its foothold in the RB market, and more than half of its monthly sales of 40000 pieces are completed in the RB market.

Although the sales volume in Rb market is less than one-third of that of Toshiba, what is unsatisfactory about this achievement in front of Toshiba, which is deeply rooted in Rb soil?

As the earliest product technology strategic partner of Jinhu, scober is another biggest beneficiary. Scober focuses on developing the North American market and has achieved a good monthly sales of nearly 40000 pieces in October.

Of course, Jinhu's revenue is not limited to iPlayer's product sales.

Only Toshiba obtains the complete product technology in the form of technology exchange. For each iPlayer product produced by authorized manufacturers such as scopper, they need to pay a license fee of 1-3% of the selling price to Jinhu - in order to facilitate the promotion of technology in the global market, the license fee is set very low, but Jinhu alone has nearly $400000 in additional income in October.

Although the Internet music sharing website is the main source for iPlayer to play music, even Toshiba has to rely on the legitimate audio resources support of the overseas website bsp; online of Jinhu. With the hardware support of iPlayer, the global music online website has rapidly developed into the largest online music store in the world. Although the revenue at this time is far from the operating cost, no one can deny that the market prospect of global music online is extremely broad. The cloud of the Asian financial storm has a tendency to spread to the world, but the global upsurge of investment in the Internet is becoming turbulent, which will undoubtedly enlarge the market value of global music online.

The most important revenue of Jinhu in iPlayer comes from the joint venture with Deyi. This joint venture has mastered the core architecture technology of iPlayer microprocessor and audio decoding processor. Toshiba thinks that the technology in microprocessor is slightly inferior to Deyi. The products of Jinhu Deyi joint venture are still used in iPlayer microprocessor and audio decoding chip, Jinhu accounts for 60% of the equity in the joint venture.

After Jinhu successfully digested the flash memory technology exchanged from Toshiba, although the sales volume of iPlayer directly sold under the i-d-e-a brand is only 40% of that of Toshiba, the overall revenue on iPlayer in the future will not be lower than that of Toshiba. It will take a long time for Jinhu and Toshiba to separate each other.

All this is just the beginning.

The winter Electronics Exhibition held at the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center from November 11 to 13 is the largest consumer electronics exhibition in Asia. It is more popular with global electronics manufacturers than the Tokyo Electronics Exhibition. The world's major electronics manufacturers will not miss the grand event, and Jinhu, Toshiba and scober are no exception.

In September and October, Toshiba's audio-visual affairs department director Gangcun Mu and scober's executive president aimer met with Jinhu Aida group president Chen Xinsheng and vice president Su Jindong in Hong Kong two days in advance to discuss how to challenge the position of Japanese electronics manufacturers in the MD camp in the global audio-visual electronics market in the next time, Of course, this negotiation will also involve broader business and technical cooperation of core enterprises and interest adjustment in the field of iPlayer. As one of the original initiators of iPlayer, Deyi also sent senior vice president del FASI and China President Zhou Zhengqing to participate in the fair.

Zhang Ke did not arrive in Hong Kong by plane until November 10 and stayed in the Renaissance Sea View Hotel inside the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center.

As soon as Zhang Ke arrived at the deluxe suite of Renaissance Sea View Hotel, Toshiba audio visual affairs minister Gangcun Mu and assistant moriyamano asked to come and visit.

Toshiba is the biggest winner of iPlayer at this time. In fact, Toshiba electronics's sales revenue on this product in October is less than 100% of the group's total monthly revenue. However, it is not surprising that the market potential of iPlayer and the promotion of flash memory technology business will be in charge of Toshiba in the future, Moreover, delfasi of Deyi has no lower status than Gangcun in the field of global electronic industry. In front of Toshiba and Deyi, Jinhu can only be regarded as a trivial dwarf. Therefore, in addition to Chen Xinsheng and Su Jindong coming to Hong Kong ahead of time, Ding Huai and Tan Yunsong, the chief scientist of oak garden, also flew to Hong Kong with Zhang Ke today to participate in the party at this time. Xiao Jincheng, who is in charge of the overseas market of Jinhu consumer electronics business, has been in Hong Kong for a long time.

Of course, Mr. Eimer, executive vice president of scopper, is relatively embarrassed. Among the four companies, scopper has the worst status and influence, but the North American market is the most important market for iPlayer.

Zhang Ke asked the staff to invite okamuraki and moriyamano, while he borrowed a short time to learn about the results of the morning meeting with Chen Xinsheng before he came here.

"Both Toshiba and scopper are dissatisfied with Jinhu's exclusive rights and interests in global music online websites, and Deyi has no extra thoughts about it," Chen Xinsheng said, "I discussed with Jindong and Jincheng and felt it necessary to give up part of the rights and interests of the global music online website. Considering the high growth of the website, the range of this offer should not exceed 30%, preferably 20%. Of course, it also depends on the bid of Toshiba and scober..."

"This is also financing the development of global music online websites. Kunteng online is also making a third round of financing plan," Zhang Ke asked Ding Huai. "What's your opinion, Lao Ding?"

"As long as the bid is appropriate, it is also necessary for Toshiba and scober to share their rights and interests..." said Ding Huai.

"Jinhu is not qualified to monopolize any market segment, and it is not necessary," Zhang Ke said. "The key is to make efforts to build up the overseas market before there can be greater interests. Jinhu commercial is also inseparable from the support of overseas business..."

In order to ensure that Jinhu commercial can be "based on the outside", after the establishment of Jinhu commercial, Zhang Ke resolutely decided to put the overseas business of IDA group into Jinhu commercial.

The main profitability of Jinhu commercial in the future will depend on the overseas business of IDA group. A considerable part of the profits obtained from overseas markets of iPlayer and flash disk products will be transfused to Jinhu commercial.

Without the blood transfusion of Aida group's overseas business, the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of financing absorbed from Indonesian Chinese, and only paying huge interest to investors every year is enough to crush Jinhu business - after all, the main investments made by Jinhu business are long-term investments, and there is little income in the short term.

However, the overseas market of iPlayer and flash disk is still in the cultivation stage. Although product sales, license fees and joint venture with Deyi have considerable income, the market investment is also very high, and there is no net income at this time.

The global online music website is a money burner. From acquisition to business expansion, the capital invested is no less than US $20 million. The total revenue from selling genuine music to iPlayer users plus advertising revenue is less than US $300000. Although the market prospect is very optimistic, it also needs huge funds to continue to support it.

In order to relieve the financial pressure, it is most appropriate to sell the rights and interests of some websites to Toshiba and scooter. Otherwise, great resentment will arise if Toshiba, scooter and other companies want to unconditionally support the development of global online music websites for a long time under the constraints of the contract.

Under the leadership of the staff, gangmuraki and moriyamano walked into Zhang Ke's luxury suite on the top floor of Renaissance Sea View Hotel. Together with them were officials of Toshiba semiconductor department. Strengthening cooperation with Jinhu in flash memory technology development was also an important topic of this meeting.
