Chapter 1060: AIWA Accused (7/10)

"Kameda, Yagyu, why are you two here?" In the office of the Wind and Rain Empire State Building, Feng Yu looked at Kameda Masao and Yanagi in surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Kameda Masao should be discussing the handover of hard disk technology with Taihua Holding Group, the company spent a high price to buy it, and should build a factory in the mainland as soon as possible, and organize technical personnel to continue research.

As for Liu Shengzhao, isn't it that the company has launched a new headset with better audio-visual enjoyment, these days, we should pay attention to the sales of new products.

"Boss, AIWA is in trouble, we have been sued!" Liu Shengzhao said indignantly.

"Huh? Accused? Where was it sued, and because of what? Feng Yu's first reaction was that there was something wrong with him.

"They were sued by a company called the Recording Industry Association on the side of the United States, saying that our mp3 infringed their intellectual property rights because we could download music in free mp3 format without spending money." Yanagi explained.

Feng Yu frowned: "Didn't you get a website for paid downloads?" Didn't you say it's done? ”

"Okay, every user who buys our mp3 can get a free account, this account allows users to download unlimited mp3 music from our website within a month, and we have all been authorized accordingly. But many users are not satisfied with the number of music on our site, and some forums and websites offer free download versions, so what does it have to do with us? ”

Liu Shengzhao felt very depressed, like he was a watermelon knife seller, someone used a watermelon knife to kill someone, do you still want him, the person in charge of selling knives? What's more, he also reminded that this knife is used to cut watermelons, not to cut people!

What is the United States Record Industry Association, it is clear that they have seen the increase in MP3 sales and good profits, and they are jealous!

We didn't sell pirated copies, so why sue us?

Kameda also added: "The court here in the United States accepted the complaint and asked us to appear in court. I've hired the most famous barrister on the East Coast, and we have to win this lawsuit! ”

"Well, you're right, this is their jealous product. Since we are not wrong, then we are not afraid of a lawsuit with him. However, this lawsuit should not be won all at once, it should drag on for a month or two, and this lawsuit should be published in various media to arouse the public's attention and discussion. ”

Yanagi didn't understand, but Kameda Masao said with admiration: "What does the boss mean, let this lawsuit be used to promote MP3?" In this way, more people will pay attention to mp3, which is equivalent to a nationwide advertisement, and can even build momentum around the world to increase our mp3 sales. ”

It's easy to talk to smart people, and finding such a subordinate, Feng Yu can save a lot of worry. Yanagi is very good at music electronic product research, and the company is also very good in management, but sales are far worse than Kameda Masao.

Moreover, Liu Shengzhao is getting older, and his reaction is getting slower and slower, and his enterprising spirit in the past two years does not seem to be as sufficient as it was back then. It seems that it is time to choose a successor for AIWA.

Yanagi Shengzhao's deputy is not bad, less than forty years old, followed Yanagi for almost 20 years, has gone through the difficult period of AIWA, and has also experienced the glory of AIWA. The important thing is that this one, like Kameda Masao, is extremely good at sycophants and ambitious.

A person who doesn't even have ambition, Feng Yu doesn't like it. He is not afraid that his subordinates are ambitious, anyway, no matter which one of them, he can't turn over the palm of his hand!

"Yanagi, isn't mp3 out of the second generation, when are you going to launch the third generation?" Feng Yu asked.

"When the lawsuit is won, we will launch the third generation of the product. This new product, the capacity will be increased to 512m, and it is only two fingers wide, the finger is so long, using two No. 7 batteries, it can also ensure 8 hours of continuous playback, which is very lightweight. And it also has an LCD screen, with a function of arranging the playback order......"

Listening to Liu Shengzhao's introduction, Feng Yu was very satisfied.

That's right, MP3 is just to be smaller, and it's easier to carry than any other portable player, which is also a great selling point.

The MD player is really good, but it's too big. Since it is called a portable player, the word portable is naturally very important.

It's just that MP3 still uses flash memory technology, this flash memory, at this time, is very expensive, but the advantage is that as long as you have a computer, then the songs in it can be replaced at will.

The best thing about this is that you can download songs according to your preferences, and CDs are generally albums, even if they are a collection of songs, the songs in them, not everyone likes them.

If it weren't for the CD with this shortcoming, then the cassette Walkman might have been eliminated long ago.

"In the market, has anyone noticed our MP3 and started imitating it?" This is very important, and the amount of effort and R&D costs required to be one step ahead and half a step ahead can be very different.

"Yes, according to our investigation, at least the four-star group has begun to study MP3, and has also launched one, but the size and function are similar to our first-generation machine, but the market time is the same as our second-generation machine, so except in South Korea, basically no one cares. Some other companies in South Korea have also started to study it, but they haven't even launched the original generation yet. But here in the United States, there is a company called Diamond, which has also launched an MP3, and the performance is between our first-generation and second-generation machines, and there are still some sales in North America. ”

Liu Shengzhao was a little proud, the four-star group was just a follower. Those who follow the trend still want to surpass our leaders, isn't that a joke?

AIWA not only maintains a leading position in technology, but also maintains a leading position in many aspects such as sales channels, factories, and brands, and the sales of MP3 of other brands together cannot catch up with AIWA.

"Since there are multiple companies that produce mp3s, are they being sued?"

"No, we were the only defendants, so it was definitely against us! And among them, only our company has a genuine mp3 music download website, and other companies don't! ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Shengzhao became angry. You don't sue what you should sue, and you don't sue!

When Feng Yu heard this, he was also a little angry in his heart. What's the matter, think we're bullies? Or do you think AIWA is too big and want to suppress the faucet?

If there is only AIWA, maybe it will really suffer a loss. Being delayed like this made other companies take advantage of it. But there is Feng Yu behind AIWA, if you really want to fight, then let's fight!

It is a good way to suppress the products of other companies. Didn't your Record Industry Association say that it is illegal to download pirated mp3 music, we provide genuine copies, but those companies don't provide them, you go and sue them.

"Okay, the lawsuit will be settled, research and development must continue, don't be afraid of high research and development costs, this product will definitely bring us more profits in the future." If you encounter any trouble in the lawsuit, let me know at any time, and I will find a way. ”
