1991 Starting from the core

"Mr. Wang, I heard that you have arrived in Yuanxin, congratulations!"

The speaker was in his early thirties, with a strong Sichuan accent, and he held Wang Rui's hand and shook it.

Wang Rui smiled reservedly: "There's nothing to congratulate. I worked under the teacher as a coolie, and I was sent to the gambling city." As he said this, Wang Rui tilted his head and whispered to Su Yuanshan: "Changhong's production Deputy director, Tu Dagang."

Seeing that Tu Dagang went to greet the manufacturers next to him again, Wang Rui snorted: "Last year, there was a problem with the matching of a batch of picture tubes at the Hongguang Factory with their high-voltage packages. They always said that my picture tubes were not good. I ran back and forth five times and almost failed. Got killed - it turned out there was something wrong with the high voltage package.”

"Then what?"

Wang Rui looked angrily: "We are all partners. If you don't apologize, right? You could at least comfort me. As a result, I have a droopy face... It's my ancestor."

Su Yuanshan laughed out loud.

At this time, several manufacturers came over to say hello, and Wang Rui's attitude became much better - as the technical team leader of Hongguang Factory, he had an unusually wide network of contacts in the domestic TV industry.

Su Yuanshan didn't intend to show up, but just chatted casually with Yang Yiwen. With so many people coming from the country, he was only curious about one - Jiang Wanmeng.

But until the opening scene, I didn't see this person, nor heard him mention it.

Everyone from Yuanxin followed the flow of people into the venue, and soon the crowd in front continued to flow into their respective booths. Except for Yuanxin, almost all domestic manufacturers come here to "learn". In addition to seeing the world, I also learned how exhibitions are held and how exhibition halls are arranged.

Arriving at the Yuanxin booth, Su Yuanshan decided not to compete with Toshiba for the limelight in the morning. Today Toshiba will announce several color TVs. In addition, Epson will also release their LCD projector - just a gift, which is far from the launch standard. Not even close.

However, even if Yuanxin made up its mind not to steal the limelight, many attendees were still attracted by Yuanxin, which occupied the second most favorable position.

Compared to the high-profile one next door, Yuanxin is a bit too low-key. There is a row of TVs behind Noda's booth - although the brand is covered, an expert can tell at a glance that this is a 24-inch color TV released by Sony last year.

And the TV was not turned on, just facing everyone with the black screen, like a row of noble and cool ladies.

Facing the gazes of the onlookers, everyone at Yuanxin just silently moved the table forward, separating the TV from the crowd outside by about five meters. But in this way, Yuanxin's booth became more like a color TV store.

…

“It’s too noisy next door!” Xi Xiaoding looked at Toshiba’s booth and then back at Su Yuanshan—meaning it’s time for us to start?

Although it is said to be the second best position, Toshiba is on the left, Sony is on the opposite side, and Hitachi is on the right - even if they finally survived the opening show in the morning. But this time, these stores mainly promoted large-screen right-angle color TVs, as well as various video and audio equipment, so they made a lot of noise.

Yuanxin also has a microphone and speakers, but except for the two times of debugging, there is no sound. So much so that those who knew the details of Yuanxin and had high hopes for it at the beginning were no longer interested in waiting and went to other booths first.

Su Yuanshan saw that almost everyone had turned to this side and nodded: "It's time to start. Where is senior brother?"

"Here, here." Although Wang Rui had been chatting with others, his eyes had been glancing at Su Yuanshan. Seeing Su Yuanshan agreed, he immediately took out a stack of sealed boxes from under his feet.

Upon seeing this, the employees from Yuanxin and Xinghai stopped chatting, quickly unpacked the box, and began to help disassemble and install the machine.

As the VCDs were displayed one by one, the surrounding exhibitors and guests were also attracted and stopped in front of Yuanxin's booth.

Su Yuanshan played a trick - as the saying goes, "three meters of anti-aliasing, five meters of full HD" - he used a booth to stop people four or five meters away, just to make the VCD look more high-definition.

Under the eyes of everyone, everyone from Yuanxin took out a special extension cable to connect the TV and VCD.

As the power was turned on, a total of five TV sets facing various angles displayed the icons of Yuanxin VCD at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the doors of the five VCD compartments were opened, and the discs were put in at the same time.

"What kind of product is this?"

Seeing Wang Rui holding the remote control board, Tu Dagang, who knew Wang Rui didn't like him but still stayed around the Yuanxin booth, finally couldn't help but ask.

"VCD." Wang Rui said calmly, but his hands were trembling slightly.

"what is that?"

"It's an electrical appliance that can play MPEG1 video file format optical discs - just like this." Wang Rui saw Su Yuanshan nodding with a smile. He also smiled slightly and pressed the remote control panel.

Five VCD discs entered the warehouse at the same time, and then five TV sets simultaneously displayed Yuanxin's promotional images.

Su Yuanshan turned on the microphone and pointed it in the direction of the TV. Chen Jing's voice instantly spread throughout the audience.

"VCD is a brand-new home appliance that plays MPEG1 format video content based on optical discs. It has the advantages of low cost, excellent definition, large disc capacity, stable playback, and easy portability..."

With Chen Jing's introduction in English, everyone, no matter far or near, looked towards the source of the sound. After seeing the same picture being played on five TVs at the same time, these experts who specialize in radio and television were keenly aware that this was a video playback device launched by Yuanxin.

The crowd was like a trickle at first, and finally turned into a tide, swarming in front of Yuanxin's booth.

Everyone's behavior was extremely lovesick - they all first looked at the extremely clear pictures on the TV, and then all eyes fell on the five VCDs synchronized like gods.

Because of the high degree of integration, VCD is much smaller than its predecessors, less than a quarter of the size of current video recorders, and looks like an Oxford dictionary.

The milky white body is polished smooth, the digital screen displays clearly, and even the buttons are elegantly oval-shaped.

The entire machine is petite and exquisite, revealing the atmosphere of technology and the future.

Seeing everyone's stunned silence, Su Yuanshan turned off the microphone and leaned against the wall with a smile on his face.

——In the legend, when Wan Yan built the first stupid and bulky VCD and displayed it, it also caused a sensation, so that people from the Ni Kingdom gathered around it, not believing that Xia Kingdom had actually built such a machine. Then Wan Yan’s first batch of 1,000 units were all bought by colleagues and dissected...

Su Yuanshan prepared fifty sets this time.

But he doesn’t sell it, he gives it away.

Long before the decoder chip tape-out was successful, Yuanxin had applied for patents all over the world through Xinghai. Subsequently, in addition to decoding chip patents, there are also patents derived from appearance and design to solve various problems such as heat dissipation, anti-interference, and anti-vibration.

Of course, the complete machine patent is also indispensable.

The patent for the whole machine refers to how to use decoding chips, electronic circuits and various components to realize the steps and methods of reading an MPEG1 video disc and finally outputting the video and audio to a display device - in order to establish With the complete patent wall, Su Yuanshan squeezed out Li Mingliu, then Xiao Shouping, and finally himself, covering all the combinations of circuits and components that could be imagined!

In a word, he needs to achieve absolute monopoly in the VCD market.

This is a new field of home appliances pioneered by Yuanxin. No matter how powerful the iron fist of the antitrust law is, it cannot hit him!

Among the silent crowd, an employee from Sony couldn't help but press the pause button on the VCD.

The centermost picture was immediately paused.

"OH! MY GOD!" The crowd finally exclaimed.

Su Yuanshan smiled, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw two middle-aged men with oriental faces running towards here almost wildly.
