Chapter 743: Take the lead

Kumho acquired a website that provides genuine music downloads at RB's subsidiary. When he first heard this news, Xie Jiannan's thinking paused for a few seconds.

A large number of pirated discs with rich content and cheap pirated discs have gradually filled the national market since the second half of 1995, completely solving the problem of disc source. This is the fundamental reason why the disc player market has exploded from less than 20,000 units in the past three years to the current annual sales of 8 million units.

Xie Jiannan didn't believe that Zhang Ke and Jinhu didn't know this truth. He even suspected that pirated discs could cover the whole country and flow into Southeast Asia so rapidly, and Zhang Ke was the real behind-the-scenes driver.

What is the inevitable connection between the website that provides genuine music and Kumho, or is that guy suddenly found out that he wanted to support the genuine career?

All this seems ridiculous on the surface, and there is nothing to make it seem logical to make it relevant.

Kumho made quite a few seemingly absurd decisions in the past, and afterwards they all proved that they were extremely well-planned.

Xie Jiannan frowned slightly, unable to figure out the joints, and looked at Li Jae-soo. Since Samsung's marketing department noticed this information, Li Jae-soo solemnly raised it, they must have their own opinions. He smiled and spread his hands and said, "I have a shallow understanding and cannot figure out what the intention of Kumho doing this..."

Few people who are successful in youth admit their shortcomings in front of others, but Xie Jiannan is calm and unobstructed.

Lee Jae-soo didn't make a fool of himself and said, "In early August, a famous general manager of Samsung Electronics proposed the idea of ​​a portable digital audio player, which would store music and song content in the player in software formats such as MP3 to play, realizing the function of a walkman... The headquarters did not pay attention to the general manager's proposal. Instead, Kumho's acquisition of an online music store at RB's subsidiary made me feel some associations."

The Asian financial crisis has put Samsung in the biggest adjustment in the past decade. It is undeniable that there is also a little bit of chaos, which is the fundamental reason why Samsung did not pay attention to this proposal.

Lee Jae-soo has been carefully studying this proposal these days. The deeper the research, the more you find that the market prospects of this product are broad. Samsung will give up developing this product will be a major mistake that is beyond the reach. He is now worried that Kumho has the same idea and has already taken the lead.

At this time, the staff came over and notified that Jianye Mayor Xiao Mingjian and HG Consul General Han Yongtai's car arrived at the reception in advance. Li Jae-soo, Kim Nan-yong and other senior staff from Samsung's company stationed in China went to greet him. Xie Jiannan turned around to find his girlfriend who came to the reception with him.

On the balcony outside the second floor banquet hall, although it was as cold as before, the cold wind could not blow, which was suitable for celebrities from all walks of life who came to attend the cocktail party while standing there in front of the hall downstairs. Not only mayor Xiao Mingjian arrived in front of the hall, but executive vice mayor Hu Zongqing also arrived, but also HG chief general in Shanghai, Han Yongtai, and Li Zai-soo was standing in front of them to greet them.

Seeing Hu Zongqing, Xie Jiannan hesitated whether to take the initiative to say hello.

Xiao Mingjian and Hu Zongqing supported Haisu Technology in the construction of the software industrial park project in Jianye High-tech Zone. Xie Jiannan heard from his uncle Zhou Jinxi. Xie Jiannan had never heard of Haisu Technology before. He thought that there was another place in Jinshan to get rid of Jianye far away.

It’s not that Kingsoft is slow, but that Jianye is too fast. When Jinhu decided to choose to invest in the Oak Garden plan in Jianye, Jianye launched the digital corridor concept, everything seemed to be moving forward at a faster pace.

Xie Jiannan called his uncle Zhou Jinxi and stayed at his house at night after making an appointment for a cocktail party.

The cold wind was blowing, and the low clouds seemed to be pressing against the street lights. In such weather, no one wanted to stay outdoors for a while. At night, young students who were lingering in Xuefu Lane hurriedly found a coffee shop and the bookstore got in.

There are many international students who like the British style of 1978, and many foreigners sat in the bar chatting and drinking. Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin and Emer sat in front of the bar. Emer took the car keys from his assistant, threw them on the bar, and left them at hand. As a result, several girls came over to chat with him in the pretext of speaking practice throughout the night.

Looking at Emme's smug appearance, Zhang Ke could only ignore it. What this guy caught was not only the weakness of Chinese girls, but just smiled and discussed with Ye Jianbin when he would go to the United States to get back together.

Ye Jianbin was not that easy to talk to the girls who came over like flies. If they were pretty girls, he would suddenly stretch his head and ask, "How much does it cost to pack you in a week?" This made almost all the girls with a little shame flee; Zhang Ke saw it and laughed strangely.

"Three villains!" Sun Jingmeng stood behind the bar and commented on the three of them in disdain.

Regarding this evaluation, Zhang Ke respected and Xie Bumin. He leaned against the bar, held a wine glass in his hand, and placed his elbow on the bar, looking for whether there were any beautiful girls in the bar. Tang Jing would come from Haizhou tomorrow. When Tang Jing came over, the eyes of the other girls would be more restrained.

"The R&D center invested and built by Samsung in Jianye will be the largest in their size except HG headquarters. What do you think about this?" There are so many people in the bar. Emmo and Zhang Ke and others communicate in English. He followed Zhang Ke and the others out alone, not to seduce vain girls at the bar near the school.

Zhang Ke shook his head and answered him in English: "You are not the kind of hardworking person who is still keen on work when you are resting. Overseas manufacturers that value the Chinese market are not just HG Samsung. How can I have so many opinions?" Zhang Ke irresponsibly blocked Emer's question. While seducing the girls in the bar, this guy also did not forget to put on his own words.

"I really don't talk about work here?" Emmer asked.

Zhang Ke took out his cell phone and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask Chen Xinsheng and Su Jindong out now?"

Emer smiled helplessly and shook her head.

As early as a month ago, Kumho provided technical information on the hardware player of MP3 music files to Deyi and Scooper. Along with the technical information, there is also an analysis report on the market prospect forecast of this product code-named M-1.

The negotiations so far do not involve the content of this MP3 hardware player. If it were just previous negotiations, it would be impossible for Lauder Fasci to have a big victory.

Kumho's solution to develop MP3 hardware players is based on the hardware architecture of embedded microprocessor + digital signal microprocessor. Whether it is embedded microprocessor or digital signal microprocessor, Deyi has strong technical resources; not only has strong technical resources, but also has a leading position in the industry.

Emer could guess what kind of ambitions Kumho had in this regard.

As long as we join forces with Deyi, we can not only communicate technically with Deyi, but most importantly, with Deyi's position in the industry, and take advantage of the advantage of taking the lead and entering the market first, even if Kumho cannot promote the technology they developed as the only industry standard for MP3 hardware players, it will be enough to become the mainstream solution for MP3 hardware players.

This indicates that Kumho will become a core technology supplier of an industry at the same time as Deyi, if MP3 hardware players eventually form a huge industry.

Of course, Deyi can also get the great benefits they deserve from it, and will share nearly monopoly industry profits with Kumho, which is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Once this hardware architecture is the mainstream or even the only solution, the many application technologies developed by Kumho in this hardware architecture will most likely be patent obstacles that other electronic manufacturers cannot avoid, and Kumho can make a lot of money.

There are many places where the interests of Kumho and Deyi are consistent, which means that there may be many cooperations to choose from. Therefore, after Del Fassi arrived in Jianye, he could not see that he was eager to achieve success.

But Emer could not be so leisurely. Sgobo had no place to rely on. In front of Deyi, Emer did not have the face to brag about Sgobo's superb skills. In fact, Sgobo did not have the technology that Kumho was eager to be eager for. He did not have any powerful chips in his hand, but he was greedy for other people's things. Naturally, he had to pay an extra price. Emer had such mental preparation, but the longer the time delayed, the greater the psychological pressure.

Emer suspected that Kumho and Deyi had already reached the point, but the negotiations between the three parties were not mixed for most of the time, so the specific situation was not known. At this time, Scooper had a strong desire to enter the terminal product market. Entering the terminal product market with a brand new electronic product that may have epoch-making significance is undoubtedly a godsend. Emer's main purpose in visiting Jianye was to obtain the product technology of the MP3 hardware player.

Zhang Ke wanted to slap Emer's patience. He did not want to raise a tiger to cause trouble. He did not want to train Scooper, a close collaborator at this time, to become the most powerful competitor in the digital audio player market in the future. Therefore, there are many restrictive conditions that must be forced to accept.
