In the next two days, Chen Yuanming made several phone calls one after another, gathered the entourage to Hong Kong together, and announced two things.
1. From now on, the distribution point of Feiyan Company in Hong Kong was officially cancelled, and Ms. Li Fangqing, the former head of the Hong Kong side, was transferred to be the special assistant of Chen Yuanming, chairman of Feiyan Group.
2. The person in charge of the distribution in the southeast coastal area will sort out the sales of pirated DVD players in the coastal area as soon as possible, find one or two distribution outlets, and report it.
The two commands are not complicated, but the shock is not small at all. You must know that before going to Hong Kong, many people were speculating whether Chen Dong was going to take any big action on Hong Kong Island, whether he would face Jiahe, the master of this defection, or start a head-on conflict with Sony. But I never imagined that such a result would be ushered in.
For a time, many people looked at Li Fangqing in a wrong way. Wouldn't this be really hugging Chen Dong's thigh? Feiyan also provided Chen Yuanming with several executive secretaries before, but the position of the assistant to the chairman has been vacant. Unexpectedly, just a few days' trip to Hong Kong Island will let this woman take advantage of it, even if Chen Dong will not let her directly in the future. "Superior", holding such an "important position" is also a good thing that can't be found with a lantern. Now canceling the Hong Kong distribution point, will it also have something to do with this bitch's pillow style
The second point is even more strange. You must know that with the establishment of Feiyan's Anti-piracy Foundation, this aspect has been fully managed by them, and it is basically still in the stage of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and the domestic piracy industry chain has become a climate. There are not many, but there are indeed a lot. The marketing point is just a place to follow the clues, and it is not the real focus. How can you suddenly focus on this
However, the big boss said, no matter how he couldn't understand it, he had to do it quickly. The head of the Southeast Coast Branch, Wei Changzheng, immediately took action. It took only two days to sort out a complete set of documents. When he took the stack of documents Standing at the villa in Repulse Bay, my heart was beating. There are two major distribution markets in Guangzhou alone. Chen Dong wanted to pirate the information of the disc player at this time, and he would not want to spread the anger caused by the 2 area code. On someone else
With a sense of anxiety, he walked into the mansion under the leadership of the guards. The door in the study room was left open. Li Fangqing gave Wei Changcheng to the sofa seat outside and said in a low voice, "Dong Chen is currently Still on the phone, please wait a moment."
"Where is it!" Wei Changcheng quickly bowed and thanked him, with a very grateful and friendly smile on his face, "Trouble Li Te for help, Chen Dong can call me at any time if needed."
After speaking, he coughed again, "I just don't know if Director Chen is going to..."
"Sorry, I don't know about this, and then Director Chen will talk to you in person." Li Fangqing's smile did not change at all, with a professional alienation.
Hearing the other party's refusal, Wei Changcheng was naturally unable to say anything, and hurriedly sat down on the chair beside him. Li Fangqing sighed softly in the bottom of her heart and walked to her desk. In just a few days, she had learned a lot from Chen Dong's side. The status of special assistant has indeed brought her more than imagined. There are still plenty of opportunities and challenges, but at the same time, prejudice and discrimination have never been less, and those hidden under the mask of flattery and politeness are even more annoying. If you want to do this job well, it may not be what she imagined. so easy.
Sitting down at the desk, Li Fangqing listened to the movement in the room, opened the document on the computer, and continued to deal with the affairs at hand.
"You're changing too fast, you're caught off guard..."
Due to the influence of the international long-distance signal, the microphone brought out some noise more or less. Chen Yuanming smiled, "In fact, this is more beneficial to us, isn't it? In the existing market, we can capture enough, a company can never control the whole world's sales channels, but as the most upstream source company , we can really use this technique to expand our territory.”
"Like what Intel did?"
"That's right."
It's just Intel, and Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc. in the future...
"I understand what you mean, but this one is a bit different from our previous approach. What is the opinion of the head office?"
The hesitation in the voice of the man on the phone was slowly fading, and he began to focus on more specific details.
"Mr. Yu needless to say, he is very happy. Lao Meng is a little grumpy, but it is about the bigger picture. He also understands in his heart. With your approval, the entire board of directors has reached a consensus."
"What a fast speed." The other party praised, "This time you can be considered completely broken."
"No." Chen Yuanming chuckled, "It's just that Sony should regret its plan."
This sentence could not help but caused a burst of laughter from the other party, and after a few chats, Chen Yuanming hung up the phone and communicated with Yan Qiaosen, which he deliberately put last, precisely because this Professor Yan was from Silicon Valley, and he was very concerned about such a situation. Their behavior is all too familiar, but what they will be fighting is a much bigger war.
That's right, Feiyan's board of directors finally reached a resolution to give up the entire Southeast Asian market including Hong Kong. Feiyan no longer sells DVD players to these places, and there are no longer any districts 1 and 2. But at the same time, due to the further complexity of Asian regional code integration and the fact that most of the world has not yet established VCD regional code settings, Feiyan finally decided that in the future separately produced and sold decoding chips, no additional area code settings will be added. Manufacturers of decoding chips can perform partition coding according to the needs of their own sales areas.
It sounds extremely official and a very reasonable decision. But what is hidden behind it, is it really that simple? the answer is negative.
As long as Feiyan's out-of-the-box decoding chip no longer sets the area code, then countless manufacturers will try their best to make their own VCD players become "regional" equipment, just like Feiyan doesn't want to walk in this muddy water. , other businessmen are not stupid, why put yourself into such a dispute
And this kind of equipment in the whole region is undoubtedly a godsend for Southeast Asian countries that have not yet demarcated the area code, or have not yet developed "copyright protection awareness". This kind of product allows them to enjoy more excellent products easily. movies, including genuine discs with region codes, as well as pirated products with no codes at all. For the Southeast Asian countries that are not rich and lack entertainment, it is not a blessing.
It's just that this kind of "blessing" will probably only appear in those worlds without strict copyright protection. Any manufacturer who wants to engage in "the whole region" in China will continue to be held accountable by Feiyan, but the profit from VCD production And so rich, in such subtle changes, China's coastal VCD industry may eventually embark on the road of "export", dumping a large number of disc players in other Southeast Asian countries, and in China, this kind of high-quality, low-cost, high-function and comprehensive Under the suppression of the zone disc player, any serious zone code disc player will not have the possibility of survival.
It can be said that Feiyan's extremely simple move instantly turned the situation in Southeast Asia into an upside down. Feiyan, who sells chips, will not lose money, and any VCD machine can make it obtain core profits; those OEM manufacturers who have no technical competitiveness and are greedy for the wealth of the VCD industry chain will not lose money. China is so vast, and it is enough for people to eat for a long time, not to mention India, Russia, Africa and other regions. If you are willing to do it, the profit of foreign trade will far exceed the domestic competition; and those who are domestically well behaved Manufacturers of DVD players in District 1 will still not lose money. The whole of China is still a big enough cake. When you have enough capital, you can naturally establish an alliance with Feiyan and share this feast...
Looks like a flawless plan.
Just in such a game, I am afraid that another batch of victims will be born. If there is no response from the governments that accept the disc, then in ten or twenty years, his entertainment and cultural industry chain will be completely destroyed, the genuine awareness will be gone, and some industries will forever lose the possibility of rising. And those companies that want to rely on their own brand effects to dominate the world will probably have to fall into the dust. This is still a VCD that is relatively easy to imitate. When it is the turn of the DVD player, but depending on how perfect your standards are, you can beat it. Is this kind of OEM manufacturing with low price and no threshold
At that time, Feiyan, who has the core technology of DVD, will rule this vast field with one hand.
This is the real "rules of the game".
Like what Microsoft did, like what NVIDIA did. Is piracy terrible? Is OEM terrible? It may be terrifying, but this kind of secret war that exploits the profit-seeking psychology of others is even more terrifying. Because of Windows piracy, it is hard to see other browsers in mainland China. Because of NVIDIA's OEM, no matter what kind of graphics card you buy, there is only one chip.
This is a real business battle-style victory. The feet of any successful businessman are neither flowers nor fruits, but the bones built by other opponents.
No businessman is immaculate, just like Sir Shao said, in order to fight for life and death, he can try his best to pry people's corners. , you can join Hong Kong and Kowloon without hesitation, or block Master Li Hanxiang who is making films in the north... Is Sir Shao unpatriotic? If you don’t love it, there will be no Shaw Buildings, and there will be no Shaw Brothers masterpieces that will never die in the minds of the Chinese. But before that, he was a businessman.
This is the simplest answer.
Before, Chen Yuanming had just subtly deviated from this answer. Every country formulates patent rights to protect the development of the industry, which is absolutely correct. But every businessman insists that the state enforce patent protection, not to protect the rights and interests of others, but for himself, in order to restrict all other competitors and make them lose their threat and competitiveness.
The so-called rules of the game are to limit the opponents, not to limit their own footsteps. And when the rules of the game block the footsteps of gaining profits, then it is what a truly successful businessman should do without hesitation, just like the founder of the Microsoft empire.
In fact, in the past life, there were no other foreign forces with ulterior motives that contributed to the piracy industry in China. Southeast Asia was the base of the pirated bottling line, and the profit from it was more than one or two domestic second-order traffickers.
Since such demand will never be less, then give them another world. In China, if you want to carry out such a transaction, you must have the consciousness of the Japanese mafia, and show the carefulness of drug trafficking, so that you don't get caught easily. There are still seven or eight years before the real Internet Century. With such time, he can also build and occupy a vast enough territory.
And now, since they are not completely following this right path, they should have the same secret allies. Chen Yuanming moved his stiff shoulders, "Assistant Li, is Mr. Wei here yet?"
"It's already here." Li Fangqing, like a summoned elf, stood at the door instantly and replied softly.
"Very well, let him in."
It took only 20 minutes to see the big boss, which was much shorter than Wei Great Wall's expectation. In an instant, his mind became tense again. He nervously straightened his tie that could no longer be neat, and walked in quickly. Room.
"Chen Dong." Controlling the expression on his face, Wei Great Wall handed the documents in front of Chen Yuanming's case with both hands, "This is the place where we recently counted the sales of pirated copies. Among them, the Dashatou electronics market in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou is the most rampant. Jinke has also organized people to investigate and deal with pirated disc players in the place many times, but there are always people who can get the goods smoothly. In addition, near the Weining appliance chain in Tianhe District, there are always pirated discs for sale. It is rumored that it is with Weining Ning's boss is behind the scenes, but we can't always find solid evidence..."
"Weining Home Appliances Chain?" Chen Yuanming frowned slightly, and quickly opened the stack of documents, "Do you have any detailed materials?"
"Yes! It's on... about 17 pages." Although he didn't know why the boss suddenly asked about this chain, Wei Great Wall quickly replied.
Wei Great Wall remembered it well. On that page, Chen Yuanming saw a line of text in bold.
Weining Home Appliances Chain Company, established in early 1993, has rapidly expanded from Shenzhen to major cities along the southeast coast. It currently has 8 branches. Its founder, Ma Lei, is a famous Hong Kong investor.
