But for Yang Jianguang, if he wants to continue doing the VCD business, this new type of DVD technology is indispensable.
Because if he cannot obtain the patent for the use of DVD playback technology, no matter how big he makes the VCD business, it will not have any effect in unifying the national market.
In my memory, a year or two later, a group of Japanese companies announced DVD, a new type of video playback machine, a completely new technology.
It also attracted everyone's attention.
For this new technology, Huaguo, who was good at imitating it, would naturally not let it go, so it didn't take long for this new technology to be imitated by major VCD companies in China.
In less than a few months, the entire country of China was occupied by the new type of DVD.
At the same price, or even a cheaper price, it can play clearer and more advanced functions.
There is no need to worry about whether you should choose vcd or dvd.
Soon, the national market reached a peak, and major companies across the country were still competing fiercely.
At this time, Soni and Philips, plus the 7c Patent Alliance headed by Dongzhi Company.
Directly request the DVD patent copyright from all VCD companies in China.
For every DVD sold, they need to pay a copyright fee of 20% of the sales fee.
You must know that at that time, under everyone's crazy competition, the average profit of a VCD was only about 20%. This would have been if the patent fees were given to Japanese companies.
Then the money they earn is very little.
Naturally, it is impossible for many bosses to just cheat and refuse to pay such sky-high patent royalties to these Japanese companies.
later.
The 6c Alliance provided the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electronic Products and the General Assembly Complaint Station with a list of more than 30 Chinese companies accused of infringing its patent rights.
These multinational companies' retroactive charging requirements collected 2.7 billion yuan in one go.
After collecting this infringement fee, China will have to pay more than ten or twenty million yuan to major Japanese companies for every DVD it sells.
This kind of working for others.
Making money for other people's hard work can be said to make many VCD companies very angry.
But what's the use of blowing up your lungs?
The patent is in someone else’s hands, so unless you no longer do the DVD business, you can only admit it with your nose in the palm of your hand.
It is precisely because this incident is so fresh in his memory that Yang Jianguang takes this patented technology very seriously.
Yang Jianguang was also thinking repeatedly about why Soni Company and Dongzhi Company did not even want to talk to them.
Could it be because they didn't give me enough money?
No, that's not the reason. If that was the reason, it would be easier to handle.
Yang Jianguang was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered that when Lin Hongbiao went to see Suoni's boss, he had to find someone from country M to lead the way.
He reacted immediately.
These two bosses don't look down on the money in their hands. They simply look down on the Chinese people and feel that the Chinese people are not qualified to develop this kind of patent.
After reaching this conclusion, Yang Jianguang felt particularly aggrieved.
His grandma's. Although China is not very advanced in high-end manufacturing, there is no need to look down on it so much.
If you Japanese people look down on China's technology, then why can China learn the VCD so quickly?
In the end, Yang Jianguang could only let out a long sigh.
There is no way to say this.
If Jiang Qianmeng, the owner of Qianyan Company who created vcd at that time, was willing to register the copyright of vcd and the patent of vcd related technology.
Then it is not the Chinese who beg the Japanese, but the Japanese who should be crying and shouting to beg the Chinese.
It's a pity that everything is too late now. There are VCDs all over the world. Qianyan Company is now saying that it is the creator of VCDs, but no one recognizes it at all.
After knowing this conclusion, everything will be easier to handle.
Since both Soni Company and Dongzhi Company looked down upon the Chinese people and were unwilling to cooperate with them, Yang Jianguang guessed that if they continued to look for them, the remaining companies would not have much effect.
So I had to do a rather embarrassing thing, which was to find someone from the M country to be my official partner.
The new VCD playback technology is certainly very important.
But as long as it hasn't been manufactured yet, no company is willing to invest too much cost in it.
If someone is willing to spend money to develop new VCD technology at this time, I'm afraid those Japanese companies will be very happy.
Even though some of the larger companies such as Soni and Dongzhi may not be short of money, for some small companies, their own investment is still useful.
Because of this, Yang Jianguang quickly contacted Lin Hongbiao.
"Brother Lin, I thought about it for a while. In fact, the problem is probably not that Dongzhihe Suoni Company doesn't want a collaborator, but that our identities are wrong."
Don't deal with this matter quickly.
When the other party really conquers this technology, there will be no chance to do anything.
Lin Hongbiao was silent for a while after listening to Yang Jianguang's words. It was obvious that he was a little unhappy with Yang Jianguang's statement.
But my experience in Japan at this time.
Let him have to accept this situation.
Today, China's scientific research technology is not popular in the world.
"Jianguang, what do you want us to do?"
"It's very simple. I will let you find several other companies next, and those companies are also developing new VCD playback technologies.
And success is not far away.”
"When the time comes, you go to the local area and choose a person from China M, or find a way to get a person from country M from other places.
Establish an investment company on the spot, we will hold 100% of the shares, and he can serve as president."
"At that time, in the name of people from the M country, we will find ways to invest in those digital R&D companies.
Presumably those digital R&D companies will not refuse."
After Yang Jianguang explained the plan in detail, Hongbiao felt extremely aggrieved and said somewhat unhappy.
"Then according to your statement, if this person from China M becomes our CEO, it will be useless and he will have to get a high salary."
But after he finished speaking, Yang Jianguang didn't need to explain at all, he just let out a long sigh.
The situation in Japan in the past few days has shown everything. It's not that he didn't want to find someone from country M to be a white glove.
"Okay, I get it.
I will hurry up and get this done."
Yang Jianguang also felt Lin Hongbiao's inner dejection.
But what should I say about this kind of thing? Entrepreneurs in this era are relatively patriotic.
Naturally, they would not be happy to ask them to do such a seemingly humiliating thing.
Yang Jian could only patiently explain to Lin Hongbiao.
"Brother Lin, this is our helpless choice. If you go to Japan, you should know that they are rapidly developing this new VCD playback technology."
"In this case, if we are unable to obtain this patent, we will be even more controlled by others."
"If it weren't for our limited technology, I would really like to be ahead of them and develop this patented technology."
In the end, under Yang Jianguang's comfort, Lin Hongbiao, who was in low spirits, said a few polite words to Yang Jianguang and then hung up the phone.
