Why is Feng Yu so calm? It's not that he thinks that after stating these conditions, they will cry and agree, but because he arranged the child care!
Child care is a very useful occupation. If you use it at the right time, the effect will be very good, such as now. And if the identity of this shill is very powerful, the effect will be doubled.
"Mr. Feng, we at Microsoft have decided to join this organization!"
Ga
Everyone looked at an American in surprise. Is this a representative of Microsoft? What did he just say, Microsoft wants to join this organization
Can you please stop joking? Microsoft produces software. Computer software has nothing to do with DVDs. Why are you here to join in the fun
Feng Yu deliberately looked surprised: "It's Vice President James. Do you want to represent Microsoft and join the DVD Forum?"
"Yes, I have been authorized by the Microsoft board of directors to fully represent Microsoft and join the DVD Forum. We will jointly develop, refine and promote the Fengyu-Philip standard." James said loudly.
"When will Microsoft make DVDs?" Songxia's vice president asked suspiciously. He did not doubt the identity of James, and he expected that Feng Yu would not come up with such a clumsy trick to seduce them. After all, they would have to sign legal documents.
"We are not making DVDs, we are just interested in DVD recording technology." James said calmly.
The reason why he came here on behalf of Microsoft was naturally because Feng Yu called and convinced Bill Gates. Feng Yu is also Microsoft's third largest shareholder. Although he has no say in Microsoft, Feng Yu's financial strength has already attracted the attention of Bill Gates.
What's more, Feng Yu said that in the future, if the DVD optical drive is successfully developed, strategic cooperation with Microsoft can be carried out, so that whether it is a system or a hardware device, it will be a computer. It will never be possible to leave them. If they are bundled together, everyone can make more money.
It was not so much Feng Yu who moved Bill Gates, but rather the interests that moved Bill Gates. In the face of almost visible profits, Bill Gates has no reason to refuse this matter.
So James appeared here, and James also knew that Feng Yu was the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, and Feng Yu asked him to be the first to stand up and express his opinion. Of course he would not refuse.
After Microsoft's statement, other company executives were shocked. Microsoft has gradually become an industry authority in software systems. Its stock price has been rising in the past two years, and it is the company with the fastest growth in market value in recent years. And many people say that Microsoft may become one of the top companies in the world in the future. Such a company has expressed support. Although it is not specialized in consumer electronics, it still has relevant aspects. There's no reason why they don't pay attention to it.
At this time, the representative of the second large company stood up: "On behalf of Thomson Company, I agree to join this organization and become a member."
Ga? Thomson also joined? This is a French state-owned electrical appliance company, with the largest market share in the United States and the second largest home appliance company in Europe. It is also famous in the field of consumer electronics, and they actually agreed!
But then I thought about it, Thomson is at the top of the industry in the fields of television technology and video recorder technology. It is normal to join this association and study DVDs.
Next, companies such as Mingji and Hongji in Baodao also expressed their intention to join, and some large companies in Europe also began to express their intention to join the organization.
And these companies in island countries. They originally wanted to join forces, but now it seems that if they don't speak up, they will be excluded.
"We, Songxia, will also join in."
"We at JVC are also joining."
"We at NEC are also joining."
"I join on behalf of Mitsubishi Corporation."
"Our South Korean four-star company has joined."
"We, Hitachi, are joining."
…
More than 30 invited company representatives expressed their opinions, and no one wanted to withdraw. Several giants have joined, so why should they be reserved
Feng Yu looked at everyone with a smile. How simple it was. I invited Microsoft, Philips invited Thomson, and then I asked Fu Guangzheng to publicize several companies in Baodao. Wasn't this done
Now half of the world's major companies in the field of consumer electronics have joined the DVD Forum, and most of the rest have not been involved in the DVD business at all. The only few companies that are involved in the DVD business but have not joined the DVD Forum are mostly like Dongzhi and Sony. , Pioneer, HP, etc. are related.
In other words, from now on, the DVD industry will be divided into two alliances. But it is obvious that Feng Yu and his DVD forum are stronger and have more unified standards.
The standards that Dongzhi and Pioneer began to implement are themselves different. Even if they are united now, the compatibility is not yet complete, and both sides are unwilling to give up. The result is already obvious.
Things went very smoothly. Everyone signed an agreement, stating that they would abide by the DVD Forum's guidelines. If any company breaches the contract, it will compensate all other member units. The compensation standard for each company shall not be lower than Ten million dollars.
Although ten million US dollars is a lot, it is easy for these large companies to come up with it. But if this number is enlarged more than 30 times and becomes more than 300 million US dollars, it is definitely not a small amount. Every company must consider the consequences of betrayal.
Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Philips, AIWA, Microsoft, Thomson, Four Star, Songxia and Tata Consulting became the first nine standard approval representative companies.
After the approval representatives were selected, Aihua Electronics immediately proposed that DVDs should jointly follow the Fengyu-Philip standards. Those who agreed raised their hands.
Representatives from Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Philips, AIWA, Microsoft and Thomson all raised their hands. Representatives from the other three companies looked at it and found that whether they raised their hands or not, they could pass. Instead of being a bad person, it is better to be a good person. Good people. So they also raised their hands, representing that this standard was officially certified by the DVD Forum, and all companies must follow and promote this standard.
The members of the forum thought that this would be fine. Everyone should wait for Feng Yu to come out with the preferential conditions for them. Didn’t the agreement say that after joining the DVD forum, the technical charging standards for some VCDs would be reduced accordingly?
But then, AIWA raised the second issue, which was the standard of optical drives. To be precise, it was the standard of DVD optical drives.
There are already optical drives now, but most of them are CD optical drives. The only one with VCD optical drive technology is Fengyu Electronics Company, and it has been licensed to Lianxiang Company and installed on their new computers.
However, the VCD optical drive is only a transitional product. The most practical one in the future and one that will continue to be used is the DVD optical drive, and Fengyu Electronics is still ahead of other companies in this regard.
After the standard was proposed, as expected, it was unanimously approved. Feng Yu had already obtained everything he wanted. (To be continued.)
