The second day after Li Zetian returned from the Space Exploration Company, Seagate Technology Company opened the phone and told that the DVD was successfully developed. Three days later, a press conference was held to start the comprehensive promotion of DVD.
"Mr. Li, Sony, Columbia Pictures, Hitachi and other companies are also developing DVDs. It seems that we are much ahead of them!" Dongfang Yuqin said to Li Zetian with a smile after receiving the news.
"Oh, of course!" Li Zetian said with a confident smile, "Since the successful development of CD, Seagate Technology has been developing DVD non-stop."
After a short pause, Li Zetian pondered: "However, the strength of these alliances like Sony should not be underestimated."
Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile: "We are the first to launch the DVD standard, and we have a first-mover advantage! In addition, among the Hollywood movie giants, we occupy two companies!! Promoting the DVD standard is naturally much easier than the Sony Alliance!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded.
Disney and Twentieth Century Fox are his industries, especially Disney, which has become the largest film and television company in Hollywood, with subsidiaries such as Industrial Light and Magic, Pixar, and Marvel, and holds many super IP copyrights, including " Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and more. However, the Pixar studio has not yet made a splash, so outsiders don't know its importance. But for the Disney company, it is the key to transformation, carrying on the future of Disney animation.
"Yuqin, tell Alan Shugart, in three days, we will go to the press conference to promote the DVD!" Li Zetian chuckled lightly.
"Oh, okay!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded and couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Haha, if you go to the press conference, then the media reporters will definitely be excited again."
The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to have a headline aura himself. Even a small move could make news headlines, not to mention attending a press conference. As we all know Zhou, he does not easily attend the press conference, and every time he participates in the press conference, the content of the press conference will be extremely shocking!
There is no doubt that if Alan Shugart, CEO of Seagate Technology, spreads the news that Li Zetian is going to attend the DVD conference, it will definitely attract global attention.
There is a pleasant aroma in the library.
Li Zetian was in good spirits. After Dongfang Yuqin left, he suddenly thought of VCD.
"In this life, VCD has not yet appeared, but DVD has been developed." Li Zetian murmured, and then a wry smile appeared on his face. He had been thinking about developing VCD and making some money. "The price of DVD players and DVD discs are more expensive than VCDs, so there should be profits. It should be difficult for China, Southeast Asian countries, South America and African countries to popularize DVDs... Brother, it's fine, develop VCDs and improve their performance. Quality of Life."
Thinking of this, Li Zetian went out in the afternoon and came to Seagate Technology.
Seagate Technology has even developed CDs and DVDs, and VCDs are of course no problem.
Alan Shugart frowned and said, "Mr. Li, it is not difficult to develop VCD at all, but we have already developed DVD, why should we develop VCD?"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "It is naturally very easy to promote DVD in developed countries, but it may be difficult to promote it in developing countries. Let me ask you, how much does a DVD player cost?"
"$1,000!" Alan Shugart replied, and then added, "Due to the limited manufacturing process and scale, it is so expensive, but the price will come down in the future."
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "$1,000 is more expensive than many personal computers!"
"The performance of DVD far exceeds that of video recorders, providing ultra-high-definition video and video, allowing users to experience extraordinary audio-visual enjoyment, so it is understandable that the price is a little more expensive, after all, this is the latest high-tech product." Alan Shugart said .
"Then do you think Chinese consumers can afford to spend $1,000?" Li Zetian asked in a light tone.
Alan Shugart frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't bear it."
Li Zetian said: "China has a population of more than 1 billion, and there are also huge potential users in South America and Africa. In addition to promoting DVD products, Seagate Technology can launch low-end VCD products. VCDs are cheap and easy to occupy the market. The users become users of Seagate Technology, and when their economic conditions are better, if they want to buy DVDs, it is naturally a product of Seagate Technology.”
When Alan Shugart heard the words, he immediately felt that Li Zetian was right.
"Mr. Li, you are still thoughtful."
Li Zetian smiled lightly and asked, "With the strength of Seagate Technology, how long will it take to develop a VCD."
"This is not difficult, it takes about a month. DVD technology is much higher than VCD technology. We have developed all the technically difficult things, let alone simple ones? In fact, when we studied DVD, we also studied VCD. ..." Alan Shugart laughed.
"Well, get out VCD as soon as possible, and then promote it in China, Southeast Asia, South America and other places. As for DVD, first promote it in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and other places."
"OK!"
After Li Zetian explained the matter, he watched a DVD movie in Seagate Technology Company.
…
Soon, three days passed.
Seagate Technologies held a press conference at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
There are a lot of company representatives who came this time. In addition to Seagate Technology, all powerful Hollywood film companies have come. The box office is only a part of the film company's income, and video tapes are also a lot of income. Of course, the CEO of Netflix under the name of Li Zetian is also here, which is the world's largest video rental company!
Just when the press conference was about to start, Li Zetian arrived as scheduled.
For a time, the press conference site suddenly became noisy.
The reporters frequently took pictures of Li Zetian with their cameras.
"Chronos Li has been held in this conference. It seems that this conference is very important!"
The crowd was full of anticipation.
Soon, Alan Shugart came to the stage, announced the start of the conference, and then introduced the DVD.
As the most advanced electronic products, DVD is very shocking.
Alan Shugart said enthusiastically on the stage: "The advent of DVD products will change home video! Seagate's standard DVD disc has a large storage capacity, with a capacity of 4.7G, enough to store a complete movie! In addition, DVD's The picture is more high-definition than any current videotape format, and it can almost be said that the two cannot be compared!!!"
Alan Shugart spoke confidently and arrogantly at the end.
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help being stunned and surprised.
Some of them made a "hush" sound, seriously questioning the DVD's performance.
"It's too exaggerated. No matter how good DVDs are, they can't make video tapes worthless. I think Sony's video tapes are already very good..."
"That's right, the CEO of Seagate is not ashamed!"
