Chapter 936

Toshiba has accounted for 40% of the global market only two months after launching iPlayer, but the market space of Jinhu and scober has not been occupied at all. On the contrary, Toshiba's joining has promoted the DMP camp to take a big step forward. The iPlayer sales of Jinhu in Rb market increased strongly driven by Toshiba in September and October.

Similarly, if Jinhu's products can successfully enter the markets in Europe and North America at this time, it will promote the sales of Toshiba and scober in this region.

Aimer guesses about Jinhu's "vicious" plan and gnashes his teeth to express his inner indignation. However, Zhang Ke's appearance that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water also makes him quite helpless. It seems that it will take three or five months for Jinhu to accept scober's flash order. He said reluctantly, "don't you worry about Toshiba's opinion?"

"What's Toshiba's opinion? No wonder they hope that the iPlayer sold to users in late August will depreciate by one-third or more in less than three months?" Zhang Ke smiled and said, "I think Toshiba needs a buffer period of three or five months, and we will communicate with them on this issue. Scober will wait patiently for three or five months no later - we are facing a strong enemy like Sony together, and good communication is necessary."

Aimer shakes his head and smiles. Scober doesn't take the initiative. Everything can only follow the pace of Jinhu and Toshiba. Toshiba, considering the goodwill carried by the brand, doesn't want the price of iPlayer to decline sharply in a short time - often the best time to discount the old products is when new products come out. Toshiba also needs a buffer period of three or five months to launch a new iPlayer.

At this time, Toshiba does not have a substantial competitive relationship with Jinhu and scober in the field of iPlayer. For a long time, Toshiba will still unite to compete with the MD camp led by Sony.

Aimer looks back. Sony's Keiichi Watanabe and Samsung's Lee Jae soo are dining in another corner of the restaurant. It happens that Keiichi Watanabe and Lee Jae soo also look at them and are probably talking about them.

Aimer held his RB human hands on his knees and said proudly, "let's lift Sony from the throne together."

Sony is the real king of the global portable player market. In order to "put the music player into the top pocket" This is a very creative business concept. Sony successfully introduced its first cassette player to the market 20 years ago. So far, Sony has sold more than 150 million walkmans. In the 1990s, Sony's annual sales of walkmans in the global market exceeded 10 million. Although it was affected by the Asian financial crisis in 1998, Sony's walkmans are very popular The annual sales volume is expected to be no less than 14 million pieces, which will bring Sony no less than $5 billion in sales revenue.

Who will dominate the future portable music player market is yer? This is the focus of Toshiba, scober and Jinhu executives.

"Should Sony have targeted us this time?" aimer asked uncertainly.

"Together with Toshiba, we are ambitious to overturn Sony from the throne of the global portable music player market," Zhang Ke said with a smile. "Of course, Sony will not take such an important classified market lightly..."

Zhang Ke doesn't know whether Sony will follow the track of history. Perhaps because of some changes in Jinhu, but Sony is such a huge thing, its endogenous inertia force can't be ignored. The key is that Sony's audio-visual products department still lacks a strong leader who dares to betray the tradition like gangmuraki.

At this time, Sony feels the threat of an electronic enterprise in China. I'm afraid people in the industry will feel incredible.

Two years ago, Keiichi Watanabe, who worked in Sony's components department, thought that all this was because of Philips when Sony jointly drove out the VCD movement Market for Jinhu and Philips. Up to now, Jinhu's technical strength in optoelectronics, micro machinery and other fields has extended its movement to computer optical drive products. Of course, this can also be said to be It is because Jinhu relies on Deyi photoelectric technology; however, even if Sony is complacent and arrogant, it will not think that the DMP technology developed by Jinhu will have no impact on the future portable music player market.

If Sony still has strong confidence in the portable music player market, Sony executives' confidence in the prospect of the floppy drive market has wavered.

As the standard configuration of the plan, the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive was invented by Sony in 1981. However, Jinhu officially exhibited the real-time storage technology at the Russian Electronics Exhibition in June. In late August, Toshiba launched its real-time storage product flash disk. The industry gradually realized that USB interface technology and flash disk may eliminate the floppy disk.

The real-time storage technology launched by Jinhu is different from the first generation flash disk in history. After more than two years of full preparation, Jinhu's real-time storage technology has been able to directly boot under the DOS system and be ready to completely eliminate the floppy drive in function. At present, the disadvantage is that a price of more than 160 US dollars prevents the large-scale application of flash disk.

As the vice president of Sony's product development department, Keiichi Watanabe came to Hong Kong to participate in the electronics exhibition. He also wanted to have a close contact with Jinhu. It's funny to say that Keiichi Watanabe first contacted Jinhu three years ago. However, if Li Zaizhu hadn't pointed out that the young man sitting opposite scober's executive president aimer was the soul behind Jinhu, he wouldn't recognize it, I haven't had a chance to have direct contact before.

Seeing aimer looking back, Li Zaizhu smiled and said with Keiichi Watanabe, "they may still be delusional to challenge Sony's position in the portable player market..."

Keiichi Watanabe also smiled and didn't respond to Li zaixu's words. As a senior manager of Sony's product development department, he should have a correct assessment of the forward-looking market. At this time, he was thinking about who would benefit more from the technology exchange between Toshiba and Jinhu in June: Jinhu needs Toshiba's flash memory technology to improve its own industrial chain, Toshiba needs Jinhu's product technology to restore its declining market position.

After dinner, Li Zhu saw Zhang Ke and aimer sitting there talking happily. He and Jin nanyong first said goodbye to Keiichi Watanabe and left the restaurant. There was no one else in the elevator of Nuo University. The bright stainless steel elevator reflected the slightly red face after drinking. Li zaixu asked Jin nanyong: "is it appropriate for me to suggest the headquarters to buy Shiyu electronic at this time?"

Shiyu electronics is an unknown Hg electronics enterprise, but Shiyu electronics obtained the iPlayer product technology license from Jinhu in mid August.

If Samsung wants to obtain iPlayer product technology, it can either negotiate directly with Jinhu to obtain authorization, or acquire companies that have been authorized by Jinhu.

Jin nanyong thought: what's the difference between the two? Maybe you don't have to worry about the hype of Jinhu. Samsung is also convinced by their DMP technology?

Jin nanyong nodded and said, "I think it's better to join the DMP camp sooner rather than later. It's in the interests of Samsung Electronics. Otherwise, Samsung's interests in the future flash chip market may be occupied by Toshiba and Jinhu."

Li zaixu nodded and said, "I've decided. You draft a formal report for me. I'm going to hand it directly to the President..."

Although Samsung Electronics also produces and sells MD Walkman, the core interests of MD are always in the hands of Japanese electronics manufacturers led by Sony. Although Samsung has to pay patent fees to Jinhu to join the DMP camp, Samsung should not ignore the interests in the future flash chip market.

Aimer also left the restaurant first. Zhang Ke ordered coffee with Tang Jing in the restaurant and enjoyed the beautiful night view of Victoria Bay through the thick glass curtain wall. He didn't know that Samsung was about to turn over and join the DMP camp.

It's nice to have coffee with a beautiful woman on such a beautiful day, but the mobile phone in the corner of the table vibrates unintelligibly, which is still quite amorous.

Zhang Ke picked up his mobile phone, looked at it, and said to Tang Jing, "Su Jindong's phone... It's a headache. I'd better ignore him?"

"In fact, I like watching you talk about things. Although it's a bit rogue, it's very manly," Tang Jing smiled with indifference, holding her chin and intending to concentrate on Zhang Ke's appearance of answering the phone. "Others can't give me this feeling..."

Zhang Ke answered the phone a little later, and Zhai Danqing came into the restaurant to pick them up.

"President Su met Zhang Yaping of Philips and President Ding was there. I hope you can take the time to go there."

"Where's Chen Xinsheng?" Zhang Ke stood up. In front of Zhai Danqing, he didn't affectionately touch Tang Jing's shoulder.

"President Chen went to Deyi's banquet and hasn't returned to the hotel yet." standing in front of Zhang Ke and Tang Jing, Zhai Danqing will feel confused no matter how strong his heart is, but he still has to do things at work, and he can't find an excuse not to come to Hong Kong together.

"Oh, let's go down," Zhang Ke helped Tang Jing take her coat from the waiter and handed it to her.

Zhang Yaping, President of Greater China of Philips components department, is an old friend of Jinhu. Four years ago, the Philips Shanghai factory managed by Zhang Yaping controlled 80% of the market for disc player movement. At the beginning of 1996, it was also the time when movement control was most in short supply. Only Jinhu obtained sufficient movement supply from Philips Shanghai factory, This is a key factor for Jinhu to establish its dominant position in the disc player market in one fell swoop.

If someone from outside is the most helpful to Jinhu, Zhang Yaping should be counted. The key is that the employment contract between Zhang Yaping and Philips will expire in another month.
