Chapter 1118 Monopolizing the global VCD machine market!

The VCD player has been developed, and the DVD player is not far away.

The emergence of VCD players has indeed played a very important role in the global film and television and record markets.

On the one hand, it promotes revenue from the global film and television and record markets.

On the other hand, precisely because of VCD machines, pirated optical discs soon followed.

Of course, in Yang Ming's view, things like pirated CDs are inevitable.

"Let's go to Science and Technology City first."

Yang Ming, Ying La, Alina and others first took the bus to Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

It doesn’t take long to leave Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, pass through the Hung Hom Tunnel, and enter the expressway that has only been opened in recent years. It will take you to Heung Kong Science and Technology City in the north of the New Territories.

When Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce parked in the parking lot of Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

Yang Ming, Alina, Yingla and others just got out of the car and went to the technology company.

Zhang Zhihong, the general manager of the technology company, is already waiting here.

"boss."

Yang Ming and Zhang Zhihong went to the technology company.

Regarding the research on VCD machines, Yang Ming was ready when he returned from his inspection in Japan. Later, Xiangjiang Science and Technology City was established, and this company was quietly established to specialize in research and development of this project.

Even now the outside world doesn't know.

From the outside world, Xiangjiang Science and Technology City mainly studies semiconductor and other related industries.

There is also the computer-related hardware and software industry.

In fact, research has been carried out here, including various commercial and intelligent electrical appliances.

With the addition of talents from Su Lian, more projects are being developed here.

Yang Ming came to the technology company. At this time, there were already several commercially available VCD machines here.

"Boss, these are the VCD machines we can use commercially. They can not only play movies and TV series, but also records."

After Zhang Zhihong asked someone to put in a disc by Teresa Teng, the disc player started playing it through the color TV screen.

Of course, a black and white TV will work too.

It's just that the color TV screen looks better.

"it's actually very good."

This reminded Yang Ming of his past life. When he was a middle school student in the 1990s, he would go to his classmates' houses to watch CDs on a VCD player.

It can be said that it has a bright future in film and television, records, and even in bars, karaoke bars, etc.

Of course, the listing of VCD also means that rural mobile movies, which were originally very popular in rural areas of China, may go bankrupt.

"Have the patents been registered?"

"Boss, the patent for the VCD machine has been registered worldwide."

Zhang Zhihong introduced on the side.

"Have you discussed the listing price?"

In the 1990s, when VCD machines first came on the market, they cost four to five thousand yuan each, which was really very expensive.

After all, at that time, ordinary people could only afford a VCD machine with a monthly salary of several hundred yuan, equivalent to half a year or even a year's salary.

However, later, a large number of companies produced them, and the price quickly dropped to a few hundred yuan per unit.

Now, the patent related to this VCD machine has been registered by the Imperial Group, which means that the Imperial Group can have a monopoly, just like the arcade machines produced by the Imperial Game Company.

However, Yang Ming felt that there was no need to sell the product too expensively.

"Boss, we have discussed internally that we will sell one for seven to eight thousand Hong Kong dollars."

Seven to eight thousand Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to one thousand US dollars. This price was really not cheap in the 1980s.

Of course, in this era, many electrical products are very expensive when they first come on the market.

Whether it is a desktop computer, a laptop, a color TV, etc., they are all very expensive and only some wealthy people can afford them.

Yang Ming said: "It's too expensive. VCD machines are not difficult to develop."

The price is indeed too expensive.

And the Imperial Group wants to occupy the global market, and selling it at this price is indeed too expensive.

According to the current VCD research expenses and hardware aspects, selling one unit for 3,000 Hong Kong dollars is a huge profit.

What's more, now it's targeting the global market.

Zhang Zhihong wrote it down.

Yang Ming asked Zhang Zhihong to continue developing DVD.

Historically, the VCD machine was developed in 1993, and DVDs began to appear in 1994.

When VCD players appeared, DVD players would soon follow.

Yang Ming finished visiting here.

He knows that the VCD machine alone may bring him tens of billions, or even tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the industry chain in a year.

. . .

After Yang Ming visited his company that develops VCD machines.

VCD machines will soon be mass-produced by relevant foundries.

Of course, not for long.

This technology company directly announced the launch of VCD machines in Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

Subsequently, the VCD machine will be exhibited at exhibitions around the world.

This will also drive not only the VCD-related industry chain, but also the development of Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

At this time, Yang Ming no longer cared about those things.

He returned to the chairman's office at the Empire State Building headquarters.

He Chaoluo and Lin Xiuzhi have returned to work.

"Boss, are you saying that you can watch movies without going to the cinema in the future?"

In fact, Asia Television and TVB in Hong Kong have always broadcast movies, and you can watch movies at home. However, they are broadcast late at night.

And now the VCD player Yang Ming mentioned allows you to watch movies anytime and anywhere.

With a small VCD disc and a CD player, you can watch the movies you like.

"It will be on the market soon. If you have a TV at home, you can play it through a VCD player."

. . .

A week later.

Errol found that he had fallen in love with life in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang is a place for fast-paced work, but that is only for ordinary people. Like the rich people in Hong Kong, they can usually watch horse racing, go out on a yacht, or drink tea on Victoria Peak and watch the scenery of Victoria Harbor and Victoria Peak.

It can be said that this is the big city where Errol imagined the wealthy people to live.

However, Errol still wants to return to South Philippines for development, mainly because all his relationships and partners are there. Now, with the support of Imperial Group, Errol feels that he can get more markets and make more money.

Today, Errol took Ma Shuk to the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa to meet Sir Yang.

"Mr. Errol, how was your week in Hong Kong?"

"It's very good. I really like the life in Hong Kong, especially the nightlife in Victoria Harbor and Lan Kwai Fong."

"Then you are assured that Ma Shuke is studying in Xiangjiang?"

“Very reassuring.”

With the status and influence of Yang Ming and the Imperial Group in Xiangjiang, Errol was very confident about his son's study in Xiangjiang.

And Yang Ming has already arranged for Ma Shuke's new school.

It is the very top-ranked Huangren Academy in Xiangjiang.

This is the earliest government middle school in Xiangjiang. Most of the students there are top academics and are very good in all aspects.

In addition to this, it is also a boys' secondary school.

"Mashuk, the courses you can receive at this middle school are similar to those you receive at the Boys' High School in Pretoria, but there are more Chinese courses."
