v3 Chapter 1130： The annual fee alone is 1 billion! (1/2)
That night, Xia Yu sorted out all his thoughts, and wrote his own thoughts on paper and performed comprehensive deductions.
Just after going to work the next morning, he called Huo Jianning to his office.
”Chairman, good morning!”
Facing Huo Jianning’s greetings, Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response, motioning him to sit down: ”Well, sit down and say!”
”Okay, thank you Chairman!”
Xia Yu smiled and said, ”Jianning, after thinking about it last night, I made a plan for the situation of the CD player. I will tell you, if you have any comments, please mention it later.”
”Okay!” Huo Jianning's expression suddenly became serious, and he nodded and said, looking at Xia Yu with scorching eyes.
Xia Yu slowly said: ”Our technological advantage is not great, and Philips and Sony have strong R&D capabilities, and both have the influence of the entire industry chain. Allowing them to have a great risk outside, so at this stage Tiangong Electronics can only compromise with them and invite them to establish a new CD disc standard.”
”My initial plan is for the new CD disc standard. Only three of us, Tiangong Electronics, Sony, and Philips, are the standard setters. Compared with the Red Book standard, we have squeezed into the top level, and we have some progress.”
”As for the matter of Polygram International Co., Ltd. that you are worried about, I will ask people to buy the company’s equity in Europe. Philips’ equity should not be sold. However, Siemens has a better position in the field of portable music and CD discs. Philips is a long way off, and equity is relatively easy to acquire. At that time, only the acquisition of a total of 30% of the equity held by scattered shareholders, plus the acquisition of part from Siemens, will be enough to hedge Philips’ downstream advantages.”
”In addition, I will also ask Universal Music to acquire or invest in other music companies in Europe, the United States and other countries as soon as possible in these two months, so as to increase music copyright resources as much as possible and avoid dependence on Polygram International Limited.”
”I will ask them to do their best to complete these two operations before the end of August. There are still more than 80 days left, which is barely enough.”
”In this period of time, what you have to do is to let Dr. Chao Lu lead the team to continue to research technology, reduce costs as much as possible, and at the same time develop a comprehensive marketing plan.”
”After these are completed, you can go to Philips and Sony to negotiate, make full use of all advantages, and pull them together in the fastest time to formulate a new CD disc standard, and you must maximize the benefits of technology.”
”After the standards are established, before they have time, we will launch our CD Walkman and CD records as quickly as possible to seize the market in advance and establish our brand and market position.”
”do you understand?”
”Understand!” Huo Jianning replied loudly with a look of excitement.
The chairman is indeed the chairman. Yesterday he just raised the problem that has been troubled for a long time, and today the chairman came up with a full set of solutions and plans.
Xia Yu smiled and said, ”Jianning, do you have any comments to add?”
Huo Jianning narrowed his smile, calmed down and thought carefully for a long time, he still shook his head and said: ”Chairman, you are very comprehensive, I have nothing to add.”
Xia Yu nodded slightly, and exhorted: ”Well, you have to do this with your heart. The potential of CDs is very large. It is not just as simple as making CDs, but also involves the data storage and computer markets. Lance, you let Dr. Chao Lu pay more attention and continue to lead the team to conduct more in-depth research and accumulate as much technical knowledge as possible.”
”There is also the expansion of the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory. You should not interfere too much. You can do a good job in the allocation and supply of funds. The specific personnel excavation will be done by people in their professional scientific research system. They must know the world Who are the real talents.”
”In terms of laboratory management, in addition to assigning R&D tasks, don't interfere too much, and give them a good environment to engage in scientific research.”
Huo Jianning nodded solemnly and said, ”Chairman, I must follow your instructions.”
”Well, if you have nothing to do, go ahead and do it!”
”Okay, the chairman, I'm leaving now!”
