Chapter 284

……

Henry's price for each Ido VCD player is 3999 yuan, the cost of the whole machine is less than 1000 yuan, and the profit is super high. The price of the decoding chip sold by Williams electronics company to Wanyan VCD company is very expensive, asking 1600 RMB! In fact, the manufacturing cost of a decoder chip is less than 400 yuan. In the future, with the increase of production scale and the decrease of material price, the manufacturing cost will be reduced a lot!

Wanyan VCD company can't develop its own decoding chip, so there is no way. They can only buy it with a stiff upper lip. If other manufacturing costs and various expenses are added, the overall cost of Wanyan VCD player will be about two or three thousand yuan. According to the information Henry got, the price of Wanyan VCD player is 4200 RMB!

At present, Wanyan VCD company, just like previous generations, has purchased the copyright of more than ten audio-visual products companies for the film source. A genuine VCD costs 40-50 yuan, while Henry's pirated VCD costs only 10 yuan.

There is no doubt that Wanyan VCD company is going to lose money when it pays for the copyright!

This is a battle of bad money driving good money!

No suspense!

After the first batch of pirated VCD discs were produced, the small workshops that Harrison bought were disbanded, so as not to stink their reputation in the future. I thought, let's just do a good job of "throwing bricks to attract jade", and leave the rest to the vast number of cottage manufacturers

……

……

At the beginning of September, aido's VCD commercials appeared on major TV stations.

"Aido VCD, good Kung Fu!"

Chan has a high reputation in Chinese mainland, and has many fans. After seeing the advertisement, he has a relatively high degree of acceptance.

In addition, in order to let the Chinese public know what VCD is, the length of this commercial is 30 seconds. Such a long time must be enough to let everyone know what VCD is used for. Of course, the advertisement is so long that it will cost a lot of money.

However, if wool comes from sheep, it will come back sooner or later!

In fact, many companies around the world were shocked by the release of aido VCD.

Philips, Sony and other companies were very surprised. They thought that VCD technology could still be used like this... They made VCD technology standard, but only used it on computers, while aido VCD used it on TV.

China's domestic companies are more interested in VCD players!

At this time, the price of LD disc is several hundred yuan, but the price of VCD genuine disc is only tens of yuan, and VCD pirated disc is cheaper... Undoubtedly, this VCD player has a very big market prospect!

"Buy it and tear it down, let's copy it!"

At this time, the boss of countless companies said in his heart.

As a result, aido VCD company sold out 5000 VCD players soon after.

In addition, some smart businessmen see the business opportunities of VCD.

I thought, since the VCD player is so hot, shouldn't the VCD also be on fire?

"Ha ha, the big boss eats meat, and we small businessmen drink some soup."

VCD pirated discs are very easy to do. Ask a technician to help you transform the original production line of video tapes or LD discs every minute, and you can immediately use it to produce VCD pirated discs.

In Shenzhen, dozens of small factories changed their face overnight and became the producers of VCD pirated discs!

It's just like a spring breeze all of a sudden. Thousands of pear trees are blooming.

Before long, the market is full of a large number of VCD pirated discs.

Aido VCD company has set up a production plant in Shenzhen with a monthly production capacity of 20000 machines, which is in short supply. On the one hand, the film source is sufficient; on the other hand, the advertising force is strong. This is totally different from Wanyan VCD in previous life. Wanyan VCD company just sold the first VCD players in the past, and most of them were bought by other companies to dismantle them, analyze the structure of the VCD players, and prepare for the Shanzhai. After that, Wanyan VCD player will not sell. The main reason is the above two points, film source and advertising. What makes people laugh and cry is that although Wanyan has also advertised, most people don't know the name of Wanyan VCD! In the end, he made wedding clothes for others

At present, the exhibition of aido VCD company is on the right track, and Henry no longer pays special attention to it. After all, VCD is just a temporary windfall. In a few years, once DVD comes out, VCD will be gone. At that time, Henry was going to sell aido VCD, no matter whether it would go bankrupt or not!

Henry is not going to be a DVD player anymore. It's not interesting. He is the one who has pursuit, of course, he is the one who wants to make DVD standard!

Compared with VCD, the profit and influence of the game industry are much greater.

Yadali's 64 bit game console Jaguar has now reached the final stage of product testing. It is expected that mass production will be realized in early November 1993, and it will be released and put on the market by the end of December. In almost two months, it will be enough to produce millions of game consoles. If the sales are booming, more production lines will be established immediately.

By this time, the war without gunpowder had begun.

Atali company was acquired by Henry, and it must be developing a new game console, as everyone knows. It's self-evident what Sony wants to do to win over the third-party game manufacturers.

This is Sima Zhao's way of thinking, everyone knows!

And apple, the famous American PC manufacturer, actually joined in, which is even more chaotic.

The mountain rain is coming!

Nintendo has already felt that the dark clouds are pressing the city

Here, in addition to Nintendo and Sega, Sony is the third largest game manufacturer. Sony has been planning for a long time. In fact, Sony has secretly controlled many game companies. In addition, Sony's strength and influence in Japan make many game companies trust it.

And people in the industry know that many of the core parts of Nintendo game console are provided by Sony. Technically, Sony can hang Nintendo! They believe that Sony's Playstation will be an excellent game console!

And yadali company, perhaps too bad reputation, many companies do not trust it, so that it has become Nintendo, Sega, Sony, yadali four giants in the battle, get the least support from third-party game manufacturers!

Although Henry put forward a lot of preferential policies to the third-party game manufacturers, it is still so, which is a bit embarrassing!

The so-called three feet of ice is not built in a day.

Yadali has failed all the time, which really makes people have no confidence in it.

By this time, the electronic pet developed by Henri and yadali has been completed.

"Release the Atari electronic pet immediately, let them know what is fashionable all over the world!" Henry is a little upset with the third-party game manufacturers, even his name doesn't work. The third-party game companies that have invested in his side are at the bottom!

"Yes!" Ritchie Howard, the new CEO of Atari, responded excitedly.

Ritchie Howard used to be the product manager of yadali company. He was favored by Henry and served as the CEO of the company.
