Resource Tycoon Reborn

After Keijiro Hirai returned, Sony's management quickly held consultations with other members of the camp. Everyone agreed that if they could get Fan Mingyuan's formal support, it would help expand the influence of the Blu-ray standard and establish the Blu-ray standard as soon as possible.

The victory of Toshiba plays a role that cannot be ignored. Especially Fang Mingyuan's influence on Bill and the influence of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group in Hollywood are likely to cause defections in Toshiba's hddvd camp. This is for Toshiba

, will be a blow to the bottom of the cauldron, and it can also dispel the idea of ​​​​other important companies joining the HDDVD camp. For Fang Mingyuan to officially express his position and make all related industries under the Fang family move to the Blu-ray standard, there will definitely be a price to pay. In addition to Fang Mingyuan,

In addition to the companies under its subsidiaries, these other companies decided to "acquire" Fang Mingyuan after consultations to promote the early establishment of the Blu-ray standard as a new generation of DVD international standards.

"Then it depends on what you can come up with to seduce me?" Fang Mingyuan did not shy away from the fact that he could be bribed. After all, the Blu-ray camp also has its own company. Determining the Blu-ray standard early can also create more profits for his company.

.

"With the authorization of the Blu-ray patent, the company under your family produces Blu-ray discs, and the patent fee required for the player can be reduced to the lowest, a symbolic ten cents." Hirakeijiro said without hesitation, "But exports must be restricted.

Quantity." If exports are not restricted, others are also worried that the global Blu-ray product market will be swallowed up by the Chinese whale in the future.

"Forget it!" Fang Mingyuan immediately shook his head. Without a large number of exports to the international market, if we rely solely on the domestic market, there will be no patent fees and not much profit. The main market for Blu-ray products is still in developed countries. Tens of dollars a piece

Zhang's Blu-ray disc does not have enough film and television works, which are not available for domestic consumption. This cake looks tempting, but in fact it has no sweetness.

"Fang Jun is so not optimistic about your country's market?" Heike Jiro said with a surprised look on his face.

"If these film companies joining the Blu-ray camp open their film libraries to me, I can consider it, but I don't know if they are so generous." Fang Mingyuan waved his hands indifferently. He didn't believe that Heike Jiro and the others would not

I know that pirated discs are rampant in China. No matter how good something is, it must have content. There are not enough film and television works. Even if Blu-ray discs, Blu-ray players, VCD discs, and VCD machines cost the same price, they probably won’t be able to sell many in China.

Taiwan. What’s more, the prices of Blu-ray discs and Blu-ray players far exceed the prices of VCD discs and VCD players. People don’t have other choices like they did before.

Heike Jiro picked up the tea cup on the table and drank a cup, trying to hide his somewhat ugly look. To ask those film companies to open their film libraries would be like cutting the flesh of those film companies, let alone other film companies. That's it.

Columbia Pictures, which is owned by our company, is not doing it either.

"Fang Jun, what do you think, plus the sponsorship of 200 million US dollars, paid in three years?" Heike Jiro said, "If you can make Microsoft and other film companies switch camps, every time you convince a company, they will give you more money.

Fifty million US dollars in public relations fees." Tsunao Taira, who was sitting aside, was feeling overwhelmed at this time. Although he was now considered a senior manager in the Sony Group and knew that Fang Mingyuan was particularly valued by the company, he

I never thought that in order to win over Fang Mingyuan, the company and other companies in the Blu-ray camp would be willing to pay such a high price. Not only did they reduce the Blu-ray patent fee to a symbolic ten cents, they also offered such a high "buy-in"

"As long as you express support for the Blu-ray standard, you will get at least 200 million U.S. dollars in profit. These companies in the Blu-ray camp are all world-renowned companies. Although 200 million U.S. dollars is staggering, they will certainly not default on their debts. Calculated in total, if

If the Blu-ray standard becomes an international standard, the profits here and there may be billions of dollars! This is simply stuffing money into his hands!

This person is really incomparable. Think about it, I come from an upper-class family and have a good father. I graduated from a prestigious university and worked for a world-renowned company like Sony. But even now, with

The young man in front of me still has a huge gap.

"Ping Jing-kun, do you think I still need that money now? Money is a good thing, but after all, there are some things that cannot be bought." Fang Mingyuan sighed.

Heike Jiro was silent for a moment, let out a long breath, and suddenly relaxed, and changed his serious look before saying: "Okay, let's talk seriously now, you just think of those guys.

Your breath has improved, but I also think it stinks a lot, but I have to ask you."

"I think you also appreciate the Blu-ray standard. Otherwise, Sega Corporation's new generation console will not have a Blu-ray drive interface reserved. But because of cost reasons, you will not use a Blu-ray drive in the short term.

"Isn't it wrong to say so?" Taira Jiro said.

"Isn't it normal to keep a trump card? There are not a few companies that support both of your camps, right?" Fang Mingyuan said with an indifferent expression, but secretly frowned. Sony Group's information is really well-informed.

Heike Jiro smiled and said: "Fang Jun, of course you don't look down on a mere few hundred million dollars now, but I believe that there must be something that Fang Jun is interested in in this world. We might as well talk openly and honestly about those things that we can

We are not stingy with what we bring out. Determining the blue light standard as soon as possible will also be profitable for your family's business and your allies. As the Chinese often say, everyone strives for a win-win result."

"Including some core technologies?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically. There were indeed many companies in the Blu-ray camp whose technologies made him salivate, and he had long wanted to rob them.

Heikejiro smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "Then it depends on what kind of technology it is, and it also needs to be able to negotiate compensation agreements with other companies. In fact, asking for money is the easiest."

"However, asking for money is currently the most useless thing!" Fang Mingyuan said. Compared with banknotes that may depreciate at any time, technology, patents, and companies are more real in your hands.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "The Blu-ray standard patent fee is up to ten cents per unit, plus the core technology of camera and Blu-ray drive laser head production! All the companies under our Fang family that are related to the Blu-ray standard all support the Blu-ray standard.

Well, but we need to add one more thing, and at the same time support our country’s domestic EVD standards.”

"No!" Tsunao Tairatsune couldn't help but blurted out. The core technology of camera and Blu-ray drive laser head production is one of Sony Group's specialties, and its value is well over 200 million US dollars!

Fang Mingyuan glanced at Tsunao Taira in displeasure, and Taira Jiro also lowered his face and said: "Tsunao, apologize to Mr. Fang immediately! You are here to listen and record, and you are not qualified to speak!"

"Hi!" Tsunao Tairatsune quickly fell to the ground and said to Fang Mingyuan, "I'm sorry, I was rude! Please forgive me for my mistake, Mr. Fang."

Fang Mingyuan then waved his hand, turned to Heijingjiro and said: "It's an unintentional mistake, but Heijing-kun doesn't need to take it too seriously. Well, I know this request may make Heijing-kun feel embarrassed, so let's make it official from our company."

Within three years from the date of production of standard cameras and Blu-ray optical drive laser heads, in addition to the products provided to my family's companies, the excess production will not be sold in the form of brands, but will all be provided to reasonable prices.

Used by Sony Group and other companies in this camp.”

Heikejiro felt happy. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that Fan Mingyuan's companies were responsible for the OEM production of cameras and laser heads? If this was the case, at least within five years, there would be no need to worry about the market impact of these two products.

A large-scale impact from China. The OEM quality and price of Fang Mingyuan's companies have been trusted in many previous cooperations. As for China's domestic EVD standards, he has also heard of them, but to be honest, he

I don’t think that thing can have any impact on the Blu-ray standard. It has not even achieved the status of a unified standard in China, so it has no qualifications to speak out on the international stage. If the Fang family is willing to support it, then support it.

"Three years is too short, ten years is needed!" Hiraike Jiro said.

"Ten years? Haha, after ten years, the standards of the next generation will probably begin to be established. Isn't this too long?" Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "If you want to persist for ten years, then the ps3 OEM contract

Bring it too."

Heike Jiro couldn't help but said with a bitter face: "Fang Jun, this is impossible. Having too many products manufactured by you is not in the interests of our Sony Group, but will also put great pressure on our company domestically. Japan

Today's unemployment rate is already quite high, and we must also take care of these domestic manufacturers, otherwise it will damage the image of our Sony Group in the country."

"What if I can get Microsoft, Warner Bros. and Paramount to support at least two camps?" Fang Mingyuan said leisurely, "However, if this is the case, your bargaining chip seems to be a little low."

Heike Jiro immediately leaned forward slightly, looked directly into Fan Mingyuan's eyes and said: "Fang Jun, how can you guarantee that they will definitely support at least both camps?" That's it for Microsoft. Bill and Fan Mingyuan have a good personal relationship.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan holds shares in Microsoft, which is no secret among senior people. But Warner Bros. and Paramount are different. There has not been much cooperation between the two parties in the past, so naturally there cannot be much cooperation.

We have such a close friendship, how can Fang Mingyuan dare to say that he can definitely make the other party change his camp? (To be continued.) h118
