342,Jiuzhou video recorder

The donation process is actually the same as other donation processes, but Liang Risi made an additional suggestion, that is, in addition to the staff of the Chu Charitable Foundation who are responsible for cooperating with Chu Huan, it is best to find two Diao Jingling.

Local people came to help Chu Huan with the distribution work.

"In this way, it can better show that Chairman you are approachable and get along well with the people of Tiu Keng Ling."

Liang Risi gave the final sermon.

After hearing this, Chu Huan also nodded. He had no objection to Liang Risi's arrangement, and at this time, Chen Yulian from yesterday also appeared in Chu Huan's mind.

"Do you have a recruitment company?" Chu Huan asked Liang Risi.

If the company had already arranged suitable candidates, Chu Huan would naturally not say anything.

Liang Risi said: "The company is currently making selections, but it has not been finalized yet."

Chu Huan smiled and said: "I accept your suggestion. As for the candidate, I have someone here. I guarantee he is from Diaojingling."

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Liang Risi immediately showed a happy expression. She thought Chu Huan had thought of her arrangements in advance, and asked with a smile: "Then chairman, who are you looking for?"

Chu Huan said: "Send someone to go to the Tseung Kwan O studio. Black and White has signed a new contract with a girl to star in "Happy Ghost 3". This girl grew up in Tiu Keng Ling. Ask her if she is interested in participating in this film."

Take action!”

Liang Risi said: "Then I will send someone over now!"

"By the way, Chairman, regarding the distribution of supplies in Tiu Keng Ling this time, can you confirm which newspaper followed the report?"

Since we are doing charity, we naturally have to do it in a big way, otherwise, who knows!

This is what Liang Risi thinks.

Although Chu Huan did not agree with Liang Risi's idea, he also knew that Liang Risi was thinking about his own image. He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I have already found the newspaper. You can contact the "True News" directly in a moment.

That’s it.”

Liang Risi was not surprised by this. She also knew that Chu Huan's relationship with "True News" had always been very good, so she continued to ask: "What about the TV station? Li's TV and Wireless have called me, hoping to report the whole process.

this matter."

Television always spreads faster than newspapers.

Chu Huan thought for a moment and knew that this kind of thing was inevitable, so he said: "Leave it to Wireless."

"OK!"

After the two chatted about the business, Chu Huan was about to let Liang Risi leave when he suddenly thought of something and said to Liang Risi: "Ask Ma Jizu to come over when you return to the company!"

"OK!"

After a while, Ma Jizu came over.

"Chairman, are you looking for me?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "You can help me check this person and see how old she is now and what she is doing!"

Ma Jizu's investigation team does this kind of thing, so naturally there is no problem. He asked Chu Huan: "Chairman, what is the name of the person you asked me to find, or do you have his photo?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "There's no photo, what's the name? It's Zhong Chuhong!"

"Zhong Chuhong?" Ma Jizu was stunned for a moment. He was sure that he had never heard of this name, but he still said immediately: "Does the chairman have any other tips?"

Chu Huan said: "No more, only this name!"

This is not because Chu Huan is deliberately making things difficult for Ma Jizu, but Chu Huan really doesn’t know what is going on with Zhong Chuhong now. In Chu Huan’s memory, Zhong Chuhong participated in the debut of Miss Hong Kong, but for some unknown reason, she did not become Miss Hong Kong.

champion.

However, it is impossible for Chu Huan to forget the charming Hongdou sister.

Thinking of Zhong Chuhong, Chu Huan also remembered it after meeting Chen Yulian. In Chu Huan's memory, Zhong Chuhong at this time should not be old, at most he was about the same age as Chen Yulian. If the two of them are really old

If it is similar, we can cooperate in "Happy Ghost 3". Even if the age is not suitable, we can still let Zhong Chuhong be the leading actor in the next "Happy Ghost"!

Ma Jizu had a headache. He only had one name. Xiangjiang now has a population of nearly 5 million. It would not be that easy to find someone just because of a name.

Chu Huan looked at Ma Jizu and asked with a smile: "Are you in trouble?"

Ma Jizu did not hide anything, nodded and said: "There is indeed some trouble, but it shouldn't be a big problem, but this matter may require some help from Manager Liang or Huo Qilin!"

Ma Jizu is planning to get it through the police station’s household registration.

Liang Risi used to be the madam of the Public Relations Department of the Xiangjiang Police Station, and Huo Qilin was also the detective of the police station. Although they have both left the police station now, they must still have some relationship.

Chu Huan said: "Let Manager Liang help. Huo Qilin should keep him less involved in the company."

Huo Qilin still doesn't know the relationship between Chu Huan and Yu She Detective Agency, and Chu Huan doesn't intend to let him know, so it is more convenient for Liang Risi to handle this matter.

"Understood!" Ma Jizu guessed what Chu Huan was thinking.

Chu Huan then said: "But your investigation team should also cultivate some of your own relationships in the police force now."

Ma Jizu smiled and said: "We are already training them. In addition, we also want to arrange for some people to report to Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy!"

This is to play Infernal Affairs!

However, Chu Huan had no objection to Ma Jizu's arrangements. They were not planning to disrupt the security of Xiangjiang, they just wanted to make things more convenient in the future.

"Okay, you can just make the arrangements yourself!"

Ma Jizu nodded and left Chu Huan's office.

After Ma Jizu left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office, "Boss, Ms. Gu Chengxi, the editor-in-chief of "True News" is here and said that she wants to discuss something with you!"

Chu Huan's lips curled up slightly and he said with a smile: "Let her come in!"

After a while, Xu Yi brought Gu Chengxi to Chu Huan's office.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Xu Yi, you should go about your own business first. No one is allowed to come to my office without my permission!" Chu Huan said to Xu Yi

.

Xu Yi said calmly: "Okay!"

After Xu Yi left, Chu Huan stood up and walked to Gu Chengxi. Today, Gu Chengxi had long, straight black hair and a simple OL outfit, but she showed off her good figure.

Chu Huan slowly hugged Gu Chengxi's slender waist from behind, feeling the body fragrance of Gu Chengxi in his nose, and asked: "What's the matter that you can't talk about at home, so you came to me?"

Gu Chengxi turned around in Chu Huan's arms, faced Chu Huan, looked pitiful, and said: "Business matters should be discussed in the office, right?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "You are wrong. In fact, doing other things in the office is more exciting!"

Gu Chengxi's face suddenly turned red and she looked at Chu Huan warily, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Huan's hands began to slowly slide down. At the same time, he looked at Gu Chengxi provocatively and said with a smile: "You don't know what I want to do..."

"This is the office?" Gu Chengxi wanted to struggle out, but how could Chu Huan's strong arms allow Gu Chengxi to succeed.

"Didn't you hear? No one dares to come in during this period without my order."

Gu Chengxi regretted coming to Chu Huan's office at this time, but regret was of no use.

Half an hour later, while Gu Chengxi was arranging her clothes, she stared at Chu Huan with a flushed face, and at the same time said coquettishly: "You know how to bully me!"

Chu Huan sat on his chair and said with a smile: "Who almost shook my chair just now?"

Gu Chengxi's face turned redder, and he was about to hit Chu Huan. Chu Huan grabbed Gu Chengxi's wrist and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you have something serious to do?"

Although Gu Chengxi knew that Chu Huan was changing the subject, he still said helplessly: "It's like this. When you go to Diaojingling to distribute supplies the day after tomorrow, can we, Zhenbao, be fully involved in the process?"

Regarding the Chu Charitable Foundation's donation to Tiu Keng Ling, this incident caused quite a stir in Xiangjiang, otherwise Liang Risi would not have specifically mentioned this incident to Chu Huan before.

Chu Huan glanced at Gu Chengxi and said, "It's no problem if you want "Zhenbao" to follow the whole process, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Gu Chengxi glared at Chu Huan charmingly and said, "You bullied others so much just now, and now you have to make conditions!"

Chu Huan spread his hands and said in a rogue tone: "Then if you don't want to agree, just pretend that the two of us didn't talk about it!"

"Agree, agree, isn't it okay if I agree?" Gu Chengxi had no way to deal with Chu Huan.

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Then we have agreed that you will come to my office once every month from now on!"

Gu Chengxi understood what Chu Huan meant. Thinking of the excitement that was different from home just now, she finally nodded gently.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have asked Liang Risi to contact "True News". I guess the call has already reached your "True News" by this time!"

Gu Chengxi: "..."

"You're playing tricks on me again!"

Seeing Gu Chengxi's angry look, Chu Huan smiled happily, and then said, "Would you like to have lunch together?"

Gu Chengxi puffed up his mouth and said angrily: "Just eat, I want a big meal!"

“Sausage dinner?”

...

Gu Chengxi returned to the newspaper office in the afternoon. As soon as he returned to the newspaper office, his secretary Lin Ting came over and looked at Gu Chengxi with admiration.

"Editor-in-Chief, you are so awesome. I guess not long after I arrived at Jiahu Building, Manager Liang from the Public Relations Department of Jiaku Consulting Company called me and said that Chu Charitable Foundation was in Tiu Keng Ling this time.

The distribution of supplies is exclusively tracked and reported by our "True News"."

In Lin Ting's opinion, this must be Gu Chengxi's ability to operate. Although the Chu Charity Foundation will not prevent other newspapers from reporting, there is only one newspaper that can follow the report throughout the process.

Gu Chengxi looked at Lin Ting who looked excited, smiled "haha" and returned to his office.

...

On the other side, Chu Huan took Chen Haichao's car and arrived at a newly built factory in Tsuen Wan. The gates here were tightly closed and heavily patrolled. There were two straight security guards standing guard at the factory gate.

After seeing Chen Haichao's car and confirming the pass on the car, he opened the door.

The factory area is clean and tidy, and on the spacious streets, there are occasionally a few researchers wearing white coats talking and walking towards the tallest building in the factory area, which is the research building of the factory area!

Chu Huan and Chen Haichao came down from the office building.

In addition to the people on patrol, there are also some clerks working here. When they saw Chu Huan appearing here, they were slightly surprised, but they didn't say anything. They just said hello to Chen Haichao and continued to work on themselves.

thing.

Chu Huan and Chen Haichao took the elevator to the top floor of the office building, Chen Haichao's office!

"Brother Huan, this is the progress of the company's recent research. After the year, we should be able to officially launch the home video recorder developed by our company to the market!"

This is naturally Chu Huan's home appliance home base, Jiuzhou Electric. After more than a year of research, all the technical difficulties have finally been completed. Now only the final testing is needed before mass production can begin.

Jiuzhou Electric's first product, Jiuzhou home video recorder, was the most important thing for Chu Huan in 1975.

Chu Huan looked satisfied and asked Chen Haichao.

"How is the situation in Japan now?"

If he wants to capture the home video recorder market, Japan will be Chu Huan's biggest rival.

Chen Haichao has been paying attention not only to Jiuzhou Electric's affairs for more than a year, but also to the situation in Japan. It is no longer the case when Chu Huan asked him about it and he didn't know everything about it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "First of all, because most of our technical talents were recruited from JVC, the research at JVC has been seriously delayed. In addition, JVC also sent us a lawyer's letter, saying

Our company maliciously disrupts the market order, but because Ms. Kelly helped contact them in the first place, most of these researchers are under the name of her investment company, so there is not much pressure on us."

"Next is Sony. Sony had already launched commercial video recorders in 1969, and Sony obviously wanted to unify industry standards, so in 1971, Sony adopted U-Matic. By the time last year's

At that time, Sony began to provide Betamax format for video recording systems. The news we received is that Sony is now working on a prototype of Betamax format, which will also be available this year.

But their cassette tapes can only play for up to 60 minutes, while the VHS format tapes we studied can play for up to 120 minutes, but... the picture quality may be slightly worse than the Betamax format.

!”

"Finally, there's Phillips, which actually introduced the home video tape format for television only in 1970.

It was launched on the consumer market in 1972.

The machine was the N1500, but Phillips had a unique name for the new format: video cassette tape, or VCR."

After listening to Chen Haichao's speech, Chu Huan concluded: "So, when our company launches a home video recorder, our biggest enemies will be Sony and Phillips?"

Chen Haichao nodded slightly, his eyes still a little worried, and said: "Jiuzhou is a new brand after all. Compared with Sony and Phillips, it has no advantage in the minds of consumers. Now we have chosen a new format.

, I am still a little worried that when the product is launched, it will not be favored by too many consumers!"

This is the drawback of new brand sales, but Chu Huan was not worried about this as Chen Haichao said with a smile.

"Sony misjudged two things, and these things will be their losing factor in this format war!"

Chen Haichao was stunned for a moment. Before the battle even started, Chu Huan concluded that Sony would lose?

This is Sony!

The world's top electrical appliance brand at this time!

Looking at Chen Haichao's puzzled expression, Chu Huan explained: "The fundamental need for home video recorders is that consumers want to record programs on TV that they have not watched in time, and want to relive the process, and Sony launched

The Betamax format tape can only record 60 minutes. This is their strategic mistake!"

Chen Haichao was still a little puzzled. Nowadays, whether in Hong Kong or Europe and the United States, a TV series episode would never last more than an hour, but back then Chu Huan insisted that their VHS format tapes should last at least two hours.

What problem can be solved in just this amount of time?

After asking his question, Chu Huan smiled and said.

"Don't always focus on TV dramas. What is broadcast on TV is not just TV dramas, but also various football games. Each football match lasts more than an hour, and this is why our VHS format is better than Betamax format.

place."

In another time and space, the format war between Sony and JVC was ultimately defeated. This inconspicuous setting was one of the key factors. Of course, it was not the only factor, there were other factors.

"Not only football games, but also movies shown in movie theaters. After a movie is released, some people want to rewatch it, but the movie theater has been offline and I don't know when the replay will be on TV. So what will those viewers do?

If we introduce home VCRs, they can buy movie tapes and watch them over and over again!"

Chu Huan continued to preach.

Although there are other ways, the introduction of home video recorders is what really changed the structure of the film market.

Regarding Chu Huan's explanation, Chen Haichao's eyes gradually began to shine. He thought Chu Huan was right.

"As for the second point, these are the requirements I set for you before!" Chu Huan said seriously.

When Jiuzhou started researching home video recorders, Chu Huan set several guidelines for Chen Haichao!

VHS systems must be compatible with any ordinary television set.

The picture quality must be like a normal broadcast.

The tape must have at least two hours of recording capacity.

Tapes must be interchangeable between machines.

The entire system should be universal, meaning it can be extended and expanded, for example by connecting a camera or duplicating between two recorders.

Loggers should be affordable, easy to operate and low maintenance.

The recorder must be able to be produced in high volumes, its parts must be interchangeable, and it must be easy to repair.

Chu Huan named these rules: VHS development matrix!

The real reason why Sony lost in the format war was because of the differences in sales models between Sony and JVC. In order to form a monopoly, Sony held on to the copyright of the Betamax format and wanted to use Sony alone to fight against the entire household.

Video recorder market share.

Like Apple in later generations, some used their own IOS systems to compete with Android systems, but Sony is not Apple, and home video recorders are not the later mobile phones.

JVC’s sales model is much simpler...

"After Jiuzhou home video recorders are launched, we will immediately contact major manufacturers around the world and publicly authorize our patent copyrights."

Chu Huan preached to Chen Haichao.

After hearing this, Chen Haichao was stunned and immediately expressed his objection, "Brother Huan, we have spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars on the research and development of the VHS format. We have not yet started to make a profit, so we have publicly licensed the patent copyright. This is not making money at a loss."

Yell?"

Chu Huan shook his head confidently and said: "Only in this way can we seize the market faster and better. We are not as good as Sony and Phillips in terms of brand effect. We can only defeat them in scale. If the VHS format can be

If it becomes an industry standard, then we will win this format war.

As for this will give us more competitors in machine sales, this is not terrible. We are the first to develop and launch this type of product. As long as we keep one step ahead of our peers in product innovation

Despite the situation, we still have the highest sales volume.

Moreover, I have other ways to deal with this format war that is about to begin, so now you just follow my instructions!"

Although he still couldn't understand Chu Huan's intention, Chen Haichao still nodded seriously.

Chu Huan continued: "Also, now the company can set up a tape factory. This is where the real money is made."

Now that Jiuzhou home video recorders have reached the debugging stage, the establishment of a tape factory should naturally be put on the agenda.

"Okay!" Chen Haichao immediately agreed with Chu Huan's suggestion.

"I will let Black and White Pictures hand over the video tape production rights of all its movies to you. At the same time, you have to contact Shaw Brothers' Yifu Shao to obtain the video tape copyrights of Shaw Brothers movies. This is the first battle that the tape factory must fight.

!”

The home video recorder market is really important to Chu Huan. He wants to use Jiuzhou video recorders to establish the Jiuzhou brand. Only then can Jiuzhou launch more home appliances and even future electronic equipment.

That's why Chu Huan took the trouble to remind Chen Haichao.

Chen Haichao also saw that Chu Huan was so serious, and the string in his heart tightened instantly, and he said: "Brother Huan, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction.

Just after the two discussed the business, Chen Haichao's secretary came in and said that Feng Guojing from Li & Fung Group was here.

"Let him in!"

Chen Haichao nodded and preached.

The secretary is out.

As for Chu Huan's affairs here, Chu Huan and Chen Haichao are not worried. No one will doubt the relationship between Chu Huan and Jiuzhou Electric. It was just said that Jiuzhou Electric is going to build a tape factory, and Chu Huan this time

The apparent purpose of coming to Kyushu Electric is actually to discuss the licensing of black and white film video tapes.

Soon Feng Guojing was led by Secretary Chen Haichao to Chen Haichao's office.

Feng Guojing had an expression of extreme shock on his face. Unlike others, he was called by Chu Huan himself.

He had known about Jiuzhou Electrical Appliances Factory for a long time, but there was very little news about Jiuzhou Electrical Appliances in Xiangjiang.

It can even be said that it is very pitiful. I only know that this boss from Jiuzhou bought a large factory building in Tsuen Wan and then built a factory and a building.

But based on the size of the Jiuzhou Electrical Appliances factory, everyone can analyze that this must be another super large factory with over 10,000 workers.

It’s just that no one knows what product this factory is going to make or when it will be launched.

Now Feng Guojing finally knows one thing, that is, this factory belongs to Chu Huan again!

And when he saw Chen Haichao sitting here, Feng Guojing was even more shocked, because he knew Chen Haichao and knew that Chen Haichao was the owner of the largest audio-visual chain store in Hong Kong.

The boss of Brother Audio and Video was sitting with Chu Huan in the office of the chairman of Jiuzhou Electric!

Prior to this, there were only some rumors that the boss behind Jiuzhou Electric may be Chen Haichao, the boss of Brother Audio and Video.

But Chu Huan had told himself before that this electrical appliance business was his own business.

So can we judge that there is actually a real big boss behind the Brother Audio and Video Chain, and this big boss behind the scenes is Chu Huan!

Thinking of this, Feng Guojing's eyes changed when he looked at Chu Huan.

Feng Guojing naturally knows the strength of Brother Audio and Video Chain in Xiangjiang. It is a super company with an annual profit of between 200 and 300 million yuan.

But now this company actually belongs to Chu Huan!

"Director Chu, if this matter is told, I'm afraid many people will be scared to death!" Feng Guojing couldn't help but said.

Chu Huan knew that Feng Guojing had guessed it, but Chu Huan didn't care about it. Although the relationship with the Feng family was complicated, as long as Li & Fung Group was around, the Feng family had to stay on the same boat as him.

"Master Feng, I don't want other people to know about this matter yet. I hope Master Feng can help keep it secret!"

Feng Guojing could only nod his head and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, now you and I are on the same boat, and we all understand these things!"

Chu Huan smiled: "This is the best!"

Feng Guojing said at this time: "Now, Director Chu, can you tell me what products this mysterious Jiuzhou Electric Company produces?"

Chu Huan asked Chen Haichao to get a prototype of Jiuzhou home video recorder.

Seeing Chen Haichao listening to Chu Huan's words, Feng Guojing knew that Chu Huan had absolute rights in this Jiuzhou Electric Company.

Soon, Chen Haichao brought the Jiuzhou home video recorder, and then Chen Haichao began to demonstrate the functions of the Jiuzhou home video recorder to Feng Guojing, recording TV programs, playing movies, etc.

"Home video recorder?" Feng Guojing recognized the machine.

Chu Huanxiao asked: "Master Feng knows?"

Feng Guojing nodded and said, "I know that Sony and Phillips are both developing products of this type."

When he said this, Feng Guojing looked at Chu Huan with some worry and asked: "Director Chu, are you preparing to compete with Sony and Phillips for the market?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Isn't it possible?"

You can get there, but you may not win!

Feng Guojing wanted to tell Chu Huan this, but when he saw Chu Huan's confident smile, he couldn't say it.

"If it can be released earlier than their product, there should be hope!"
