Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Chapter 104: The Pain of the DVD Player

It is already the end of 1994, and it is a pity that the production technology of DVD players is not unique to Wanyan Company.

The DVD player plays The Fugitive, which is the first Hollywood blockbuster imported from China, Harrison. Welfare is also known to the Chinese people from this movie. The film is playing until the wife of the doctor Jin Bao is killed. Jin Bao is suspected of murder and sentenced to death. On the way to the prison, the prisoner in the same car tries to hijack the car and escape. ...

Seeing this, Xie Wanqing, Xu Si, and Zhitong couldn't even breathe, and they were attracted by the exciting plot. Zhang Ke stared at the screen, but tried his best to recall the details of the disc player industry in his mind. Novel chapters are updated the fastest

Since 1995, domestic theaters have introduced foreign commercial films in a big way. In 1994, The End of the World was the first blockbuster released, which greatly enriched the domestic film sources. However, the original discs at that time should be more expensive?

Zhang Ke picked up the disc case of The Fugitive and asked Wan Qing, Sister Wan Qing, isn't this disc quite expensive?

It's not too expensive, it's only over 50, which is more convenient than going to the cinema... Xie Wanqing felt very strange seeing that Zhang Ke cared about this at this time. She glanced at him and quickly turned her eyes to the screen again. Fiction novel chapters are updated the fastest

Fifty yuan a disc, and only Xie Wanqing who has never suffered money would not find it expensive. Zhang Ke asked again: How much did you buy for the disc player?

It's a gift from a friend. I don't know the details. It's about four thousand. Xie Wanqing turned her head and stared at Zhang Ke. I don't know how to face your parents. Don't try to play.

It is not surprising that disc players are so expensive when they first hit the market. In 1994, laser CD players, video recorders, and integrated stereos were all household appliances that wealthy families could afford. Like digital mobile phones, they were all luxury products. ranks. But as long as a large amount of capital is invested, the price will drop sharply, but it is different from the mobile phone manufacturing industry because there is no patent application. There is no technical barrier to entry in the disc player industry.

In 1994, there were only disc players launched by Wanyan Group in the disc player market. The sales volume in 1994 was only tens of thousands of units, it seems that there were only 20,000 units. In addition to the disc player's expensive factor. The price of discs is the biggest factor. Fifty yuan a disc is extremely expensive for ordinary families, and it cannot promote the development of the disc rental industry.

However, after the piracy industry rampant in the southeast coastal cities, the spring of the disc player market came suddenly.

Zhang Wei doesn't know if the disc piracy will be rampant next year or the year after, but judging from the current situation. In particular, there is no difficulty in the technology of pirated disc production. Moreover, the cost is extremely low, and the disc piracy industry may explode at any time.

The price of pirated discs is less than one-tenth of the genuine ones.

Thereby promoting the development of the disc rental industry. In the mid-1990s, most Chinese people did not have the concept of intellectual property rights, and small rental shops for renting out pirated discs began to appear in the streets and alleys, inside and outside the community.

It was only after this that the spring of the disc player industry was ushered in. It will be a new industry that explodes suddenly

What are you thinking? Xu Si turned his head and asked Zhang Ke. The movie has finished, Zhang Ke's eyes are still fixed on the screen, his mind is completely out of the movie.

Ah, it's over. Zhang He came to his senses, Any other good discs?

They're all old movies. I still have videotapes at home, but the discs look clearer. I bought them at random. Go and have a look. They're all in the drawer below... Xie Wanqing said in a dejected manner. From her tone, it can be heard that she is not interested in those old movies.

Zhang Ke opened the drawer under the TV cabinet and was very discouraged when he saw the words Albania. It wasn't until 1995 that China began to import foreign commercial films on a large scale. At that time, China suddenly discovered that besides Hong Kong films, there was such a wonderful and exciting world of commercial films.

The logo of Wanyan Group was pasted on the upper right corner of the disc, and Zhang Ke remembered that the earliest disc was also opened by Wan Yan. Having a disc player without discs is like having a gun without bullets. Wan Yan formed a complete set of technology in early 1994, and at least in 1994 she still dominated the disc player market. Unfortunately, she was ruined by her knowledge of intellectual property rights. . In the industry, the general manager of Wanyan Group is referred to as a revolutionary martyr on the road of China's digital disc technology, which is somewhat regrettable.

It's a pity that it's someone else's business. Zhang Ke put his finger on his forehead, but he smiled. One thing is certain, no one can realize that it only takes two or three years, and the demand for disc players will multiply by hundreds or even thousands of times. increase.

Zhang Ke's expression was too weird, Xu Si and Xie Wanqing looked at each other, unable to figure out what he was thinking in his heart, he went to look for the disc, his finger stopped on a disc, but his eyes didn't know where to go up.

Are you okay? Xu Si stretched out his hand and shook his eyes. Seeing that he was there, he turned to Xie Wanqing and said, Let's ignore him, he is always used to being distracted.

When he walked out of the Xixia District Procuratorate, the sadness in Xu Si's heart surged up uncontrollably. After more than half a day, he was able to calm down.

Xie Wanqing smiled, got up and stretched, and wanted to go over and help Zhang Ke choose a disc, so that he would not be distracted, and everyone would be bored with him.

Xie Wanqing walked over, but Zhang Ke stood up, walked to the telephone next to the glass corner cabinet, put his finger on his forehead, and quickly dialed a series of numbers. After waiting for a while, the other end of the phone was connected: Jiang Wei Are you there?

Kumho accepts the laid-off employees of Haitai. It is no longer a pure shell company. The slightly open office before can no longer accommodate so many people. It rents a large office on the same floor as the New Haitong Building for project planning. Department and the restaurant plaza operating company to be established in the near future, the original luxuriously decorated office is only used by the management and related administrative assistants.

After a long time, there was no response on the other end of the phone, so Zhang Ke stood on the phone and waited.

Why are you still looking for Jiang Wei at this time? Didn't you already ask her about the situation of the paper mill today? Xie Wanqing pushed the disc into the disc drive compartment, and the TV displayed the words Reading the disc. Xie Wanqing saw that Zhang Ke was distracted. For a while, I suddenly wanted to call Jiang Wei, and felt very strange. You must know that Jiang Wei often complains that Zhang Ke gives too few decisive opinions. Those of them who are used to sitting in administrative agencies hope to get clear instructions so that they can carry out their work with peace of mind. Zhang Ke is stingy with even a few words. In his daily work, he only reads the work log submitted by the management, but does not comment.

Zhang Ke nodded, smiled, and felt that he shouldn't laugh, and said, It's something to find her.

After a while, the phone on the other end was picked up again. Jiang Wei's voice appeared on the other end of the phone: Young Master Ke, what can you tell me?

Wu Tianbao called out Ke Shao first. People who knew Zhang Ke's details followed suit and mentioned his status. Jiang Wei, Zhou Fu, Zhou You, and Zhou Wenbin are all under him, but he is young, calling him Mr. the taste of. Zhang Ke's biggest dream is to be a dandy and accept it like a sweetheart.

Borrow two people from Liu Minghui to collect as much information on the DVD player as possible. Yes. It is the DVD player produced by Anhui Wanyan Group. Ordinary people don't see it very much. Your family entrusted someone to buy it from the provincial capital. One? This kind of DVD player may only be sold in the International Plaza in Haizhou City. I will bring two sets back to Haizhou from the provincial capital. It’s best if you know, so I don’t need to explain. DVD player The manufacturing technology is not exclusive to Wanyan Group. You should prepare first. I will go back to Haizhou tomorrow, and I may let you go out for a walk recently. Three people, one person will go to Anhui, and you and the other person will go to Shenzhen. , How long will it take to go to Hong Kong at the earliest... Well, you go through the border formalities first and I will also go through the transit procedures. I need a complete set of technical information and market analysis...

Zhang Ke thought to himself that the production technology cracked by Hong Kong at this time might be a step ahead of Wanyan Company itself.

Why are you in such a hurry? Jiang Wei asked on the phone.

Xu Si and Xie Wanqing were also taken aback by Zhang Ke's words. They stayed at home and watched a DVD in the afternoon, and rushed to send someone out to investigate the industry background of the DVD player? They all stood up involuntarily, and looked at Zhang Ke in bewilderment.

Zhang Ke smiled at Xu Si and Xie Wanqing, and said to Jiang Wei on the other end of the phone, You should try your best to familiarize yourself with a certain amount of information first... He hung up the phone if he had nothing to say.

Seeing Xu Si and Xie Wanqing's puzzled faces, she smiled and said, Why don't you watch the DVD?

You are so startled, can we not be curious? Xie Wanqing smiled.

It's nothing. Zhang Ke concealed a smile and asked Wan Qing, Can I buy this kind of DVD player at the Oriental Plaza at this time?

I still plan to keep us all in the dark from the beginning, Xie Wanqing smiled. Her trust in Zhang Ke was almost instinctive, and she couldn't imagine why he would give such a mature and stable person at such a young age. impression? Originally, we could have someone deliver the DVD player to our door, but it's still early for dinner. It's also a good idea for the four of us to go shopping in the Oriental Mall.

This time, Xie Wanqing did not drive the car herself, but took a taxi to the Oriental Plaza in the city center. Not only did he accompany Xu Wei and the girls in her dormitory to the Oriental Plaza last time, but when Zhang Ke was studying at Tunghai University, he used to visit the Oriental Plaza to browse beauties when he had time.

If it were not for various reasons, Zhang Ke would not return to Haizhou after graduating from university. He has always firmly believed that living in the provincial capital is a kind of happiness, but it is the beauties with unique styles that make Zhang Ke feel more happy. They may be local beauties who are infected with the local beauty, but more It is the beauties from all over the world who are greedy for life here, moisten here, linger here, and soak up the atmosphere of this city.

Xu Si has never concealed her love for this city. Maybe Haizhou has too many unbearable and painful memories for Xu Si, but what makes her miss the provincial capital should be the memories she left in the provincial capital for four years.

Whether it's the alleys in the south of the city or the high-end office buildings in the east, the fresh and elegant girls with light makeup will make Zhang Ke's heart sway when he accidentally catches a glimpse of them. Xu Si should be a beauty belonging to this city, gorgeous but not coquettish, flattering but not vulgar, with a natural smile full of thousands of styles.

Walking into the Oriental Plaza, this is the place where beautiful women appear most frequently in this city, and it is also the place where Zhang Ke is most willing to hang out during his four years in college. The colorful beauties greeted each other, smiling and looking gracefully.

The last time I came here to be haunted by beauties such as Xu Si, Xu Wei, Jiang Dai'er, and I didn't pay attention to the beauties in the provincial capital in 1994, now I am holding Zhitong's hand and walking behind Xu Si and Wan Qing, brazenly Appreciate it, but compare it carefully. Although Xu Si's clothes are plain, the coquettishness that melts into the bones is something that few beauties can match. At least after walking into the Oriental Plaza for a long time, he has not seen Xu Si's stunning beauty.

Although Zhitong still refuses to speak, she looks innocent and cute like a porcelain doll, with black black eyes that are agile and flawless, she is probably the most attractive little beauty in the Oriental Plaza, and some girls can't help running past Zhitong's Face: What a beautiful girl! With Wan Qing and Xu Si present, Zhang Ke could only keep a restrained smile. He thought that next time he would abduct Zhitong alone, Zhitong would undoubtedly be a good weapon to pick up his sister.

What are you looking around for? Xu Si held the clothes he was trying on in his hand. Gently slapped Zhang Ke. She is not yet used to the luxury of the city, Xie Wanqing pestered her to try on clothes. Zhang Ke kept fanning the fire beside him.

Zhang Ke sat on the soft leather chair in front of the fitting room, resting his chin irresponsibly on the top of Zhitong's head. He clamped Zhitong's immature body between his legs to prevent her from struggling, but he wandered around The well-dressed beauties of the past. Boil———————————————— Literature members hand-type

There's no way to look blindly. You hid inside and tried on clothes, but you didn't stand up to show me. I was just thinking. The clothes on these people are worn on sister Xu Si. How charming it must be! Zhang Ke shyly stared Looking at Xu Si's shy face.

What nonsense? Xu Si glanced at him, and pulled Zhitong, who was struggling non-stop, out of his arms. I know how to bully Zhitong.

Zhitong, did brother Xiaoke bully you? Zhang Ke asked, looking down at Zhitong's innocent eyes.

Zhitong glared at him, stretched out her small white hand and hit Zhang Ke's knee twice. Seeing Zhang Ke's canthus showing a fierce look, he giggled and hid in Xu Si's arms.

Xie Wanqing came out of the fitting room, folded the clothes she was trying on on her arms, and watched Zhitong laugh like a silver bell, her heart was very warm, and the loneliness and sadness deep in her heart almost felt at this moment. Not anymore.

Accompanied by Xie Wanqing and Xu Si for a boring stroll out of the women's clothing department, and finally thought about going to see the DVD player.

In 1994, there was only Wanyan's DVD player on the market. Xie Wanqing held a gold card at Oriental Plaza, and the price was more than 4,000 yuan. Buying a bare-bones machine will give you a few discs as a gift. After reading the introduction materials of the DVD player, Zhang Ke knew that Wanyan Group acquired copyrights from 11 audio-visual companies at the same time, and released 97 kinds of discs. It can be said that it has developed a complete set of disc player technology. This whole set of disk player technology has applied for a patent, and this set of technology should have been leaked out, otherwise Jiang Wanmeng may be the first super rich man in China.

Zhang Ke bought four DVD players, with 20 DVDs as a gift at any time. Zhang Ke insisted hard and showed a charming smile. Finally, the female manager of Dongfang Guangcheng Electric Department couldn't hold back and agreed to give another 20 discs. It’s not that Zhang Ke wants to be greedy for this little cheapness. The discs that come with the species are not retail. At this time, pirated discs have not yet been released. There may be only one shopping mall in Haizhou that sells DVD players. Zhang Ke really can’t imagine what else there is in Haizhou CDs are sold somewhere.

Although the price of the DVD player is a bit expensive, it is not the main problem. The key is the lack of film sources but the low price.

After returning home with a full load, the nanny who was on leave during the day also came back, and the nanny prepared dinner.

Zhang Ke, Xu Si, Wan Qing, and Zhi Tong just lay on the sofa and continued to watch the disc.

Zhang Ke carefully selected 40 discs, half of which are Hong Kong movies, covering the masterpieces of the golden decade of Hong Kong film and television. Naturally, they can attract the attention of Xu Si and Wan Qing. Zhang Ke is also willing to revisit these classic films.

In 1994, Hong Kong movies were at the end of the golden decade. During the most prosperous period in Hong Kong, there were five movie theaters, basically maintaining a state of releasing a new film per week in each theater, with an annual output of more than 300, measured in tens of square kilometers. In a tiny place, it has created achievements comparable to Hollywood in the United States.

Because of the obvious commercialization of Hong Kong films, although Wanyan Group developed the first DVD player, it took more than a year, but Hong Kong's manufacturing technology is the most advanced, and pirated discs are also imported from Hong Kong and neighboring regions. cities on the southeast coast.
