Chapter 486: Continuous Strikes

Ye Jianbin heard that Kumho was not only involved in the development of the third-generation decoding chip, but also the joint development plan was initiated by Kumho. He blinked for a long time before he came to his senses: "When did Kumho start to do these things?"

"Wan Yanjiu developed a VCD prototype in 3rd year, and we only took the VCD project in 1995, but the DVD technical standards were released at the same time, which means we were on a project that was destined to be eliminated. Domestic electronic manufacturers are far from qualified to participate in the research and development of DVD standard technology. Obviously, once overseas electronic industry giants make efforts to promote DVD, domestic disc machine manufacturers will have a rope on their necks. In order to survive in the future, I asked Ding Huai to concentrate the technical strength in his hands very early on referring to the DVD technical standards and the current technical foundation of VCD.

To develop a new model, we developed a prototype of the super VCD more than half a year ago. In the past six months, we have been working more on integration, but our technical foundation in this area is too weak. Two months ago, we decided to join forces with TI and Scooper to integrate related technologies in decoding into the decoding chip, which is why there is a third-generation decoding chip... This time, Mingjun Electronics was brought in, and I still want to further improve the integration of other control components..." Zhang Ke squatted on the lawn and told Ye Jianbin in detail about the development of the super VCD.

When Ye Jianbin heard the excitement, he couldn't help but punch Zhang Ke in the shoulder: "How can you do this?"

"The sense of crisis is a little stronger. 'Born in distress, die in peace', I basically have to be a good student," Zhang Ke smiled and found a reasonable excuse, asking Ye Jianbin to punch the shoulder, without squatting firmly, and sat on the lawn and simply sat on the lawn and said, "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, this sentence is big enough. In two days, I will also take the senior high school entrance examination. I have memorized several paragraphs of words such as 'Science and technology are the primary productive forces'. There are many empty words and lies in high school political books, but there are still some true knowledge and insights. Carefully analyze the current field of consumer electronic products, and the transformation and development from analog signal technology to digital signal technology is an inevitable trend. Since I understand this, what should I hesitate about..."

"Even if others are very enterprising and make money, they are more considering expanding their production capacity and occupying a larger market share. You are better, they have a good situation, but they take the initiative to lower their market goals. It turns out that they are hiding behind their backs to engage in technological expansion..."

"Yes, it's technological expansion," Zhang Ke affirmed Ye Jianbin's speculation, and there was no need to hide his thoughts in front of him. "I was in a hurry to cash out Aida Electronics, just to withdraw a large amount of funds to expand technology in the consumer electronics field. Of course, Xinguang Paper also needs funds..."

Ye Jianbin looked up at the blue sky in the distance. If the additional issuance and merger plan can be realized, Kumho can withdraw billions of funds from it, and add Aida Electronics' previous profits. Even if only half of the funds are expanded through technological expansion, it is quite terrifying. Only by investing this amount of funds can the technological gap with foreign electronic companies be shortened in the shortest time. Zhang Ke's idea is indeed very different from most domestic business operators.

Ye Jianbin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, Sheng Xin can't count on you yet?"

Zhang Ke said: "After the commodity circulation market occupied a strong position, large-scale occupancy of suppliers' payment for expansion is the shortcut for Shengxin to expand rapidly. When Shengxin rented a store, all home appliance manufacturers were rushing to send the products to the store to buy. Shengxin not only did not need to pay a penny in advance, but could also charge them venue fees, management fees, personnel promotion fees, unified clothing fees, card application fee and other miscellaneous fees. Even if Shengxin achieved initial success, even if I can squeeze out 100 million or 200 million yuan for you, it will not fundamentally solve Shengxin's lack of funds. Instead, it will make the rest of your Ye family think that I came here to pick peaches..."

"How could this kind of thought?" Ye Jianbin gently hit Zhang Ke on the shoulder, and knew that if he could achieve the level Zhang Ke said, Sheng Xin would suddenly enter a period of rapid expansion. "It will take some years to reach that level..."

"The process is a must," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "But when it comes to that point, Sheng Xin can't bully Aida Electronics by relying on the advantages of channel dealers..."

"Are you the kind of person who easily bullies others?"

Zhang Ke smiled, feeling embarrassed to continue pretending to be pitiful.

CCTV broadcasted the news of the release of the super VCD disc in the evening news column. Of course, due to the good relationship between Ida Electronics and CCTV, the news highlighted the role played by Ida Electronics in developing new disc discs, and reported on the news that Ida Electronics received 40 million US dollars overseas financing this time.

Of course, in the eyes of professionals, Aida Electronics has a smaller role, but this news and the news releases published and broadcasted by more than 20 media invited by Kewang to Haizhou undoubtedly strengthened Aida Electronics' influence at this critical moment, which also weakened the market influence of the Kewang DVD player advertisements broadcast on CCTV's golden advertising period on January 1.

Almost no one cares about the news that Kewang Electric Appliances invested HK$50 million to build a R&D center. Xie Jiannan carefully prepared the activities, which are somewhat suspected of making wedding dresses for Aida Electronics, is indeed depressing.

Of course, they don’t have much time to adjust their emotions. Ida Electronics and TI, Scooper and Philips officially issued an invitation to participate in the Super VCD prototype test together, and Kewang will be excluded from the test list.

Chen Jiashan suggested that Zhou Fuming put pressure on Aida. Xie Jiannan felt that Zhang Ke was less likely to make concessions. He could have pushed TI and Scooper out as a shield. If he really wanted to do this, it would be a greater possibility that he would bring shame on himself. However, if Zhou Fuming was willing to come forward, it would be okay to try it, but the main energy here was still to find other breakthroughs.

Yu Ping called Zhou Fuming to mention this matter. Zhou Fuming hesitated for a while before he decided to talk to Tang Xueqian about it first. Zhou Fuming had no confidence to refuse Zhang Ke, and directly mentioned to Zhang Ke that if he refused on the spot, would he, the secretary of the municipal party committee, be shameless or shameless? The risk was too great. There was no big problem with Tang Xueqian. At least in the party position, Tang Xueqian still had to respect him.

It was naturally not convenient for Tang Xueqian to reject Zhou Fuming directly. Zhou Fuming's reason was also very open and honest: it would always be beneficial to Haizhou to have more disc machine companies in Haizhou to participate in the test.

Since Zhou Fuming had no face to indicate that Kewang Electric Appliances were stuffed into the test list, Tang Xueqian asked Zhang Ke to mention this matter, and Zhang Ke readily agreed: "There are more than 20 disc machine assembly factories in Haizhou. Indeed, it is beneficial to Haizhou's economy to participate in the test. Aida is willing to take the overall situation into consideration and persuade TI and Scooper. Philips and the three companies agreed to reserve a place for Haizhou's disc machine companies to participate in the test!"

Tang Xueqian forwarded the words to Zhou Fuming. Zhou Fuming thought that the meaning in Zhang Ke’s words was a bit wrong, but he would not put himself on the chopping board of the meat case at this time. It was already interesting that he could do this. He just asked his lover Yu Ping to convey the original words to Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan and the others.

Xie Hanjing was so angry that his chest was filled with blood when he heard Zhang Ke's words turn around by several people. The meaning in Zhang Ke's words was clearly that Ida not only did not allow Ke Wang to participate in the test, but also wanted to support a company in Haizhou to compete with Ke Wang. This test quota was given to that company.

Aida Electronics' position in the disc player market has been consolidated. Second-tier disc player manufacturers such as Xinke, BBK, Aido, Jin Zheng, Wanlida, and Kewang have no ability to shake Aida Electronics' market position at this time; Aida Electronics wants to support a disc player company in Haizhou, but it only compresses the market space of their second-tier disc player manufacturers. If Zhang Ke's words were not intimidation, then Kewang Electrical Appliances in Haizhou will not only resist the strong pressure of Aida Electronics, but also face direct competition from another disc player company in the future, not to mention that strong opponents such as Xinke, BBK, Aido, Wanlida, and Jinzheng are waiting for them.

Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan, Ge Mingxin, Chen Jiashan, Ge Yinjun, Chen Jing, Xie Zhan, Liu Minghui, Yu Ping and others discussed countermeasures overnight. The most fundamental solution was to quickly reverse the disadvantages in technology and manufacturing costs, and to immediately withdraw a large number of technical personnel to support Kewang.

The news that a test quota will be reserved for local disk machine companies in Haizhou will be heard from the mouths of Xu Ruiping, Song Peiming, Du Xiaoshan and others. More than 20 disk machine assembly manufacturers in Haizhou City were instantly excited.
