Next chapter

Thomas came to Huaxia again, and discussed with Feng Yu the time for the launch of Super VCD. m

Although he promised not to launch an ordinary VCD before, the super VCD technology has matured, and he feels that it is a waste of time to continue to wait.

"Mr. Feng, originally we discussed that we would launch a super VCD together in September, but now the VCD market has risen in advance, and the traditional video recorder has withdrawn from the historical stage, are we launching a super VCD in advance?" Thomas built yƬ road.

Feng Yu nodded: "Of course you can, there is no big problem in technology, the first generation will be launched this year, and the second generation can be launched next year." However, I built yƬ, our shape design, should be slightly different, such as the position of the buttons, color matching, etc., but the style of the remote control, it is best to be unified ~ one. ā€

"Of course, I know that you Chinese people like red, so we will give up the red color scheme, mainly silver, gray and black, two-color matching, you can produce three different color styles." Thomas has long thought that these three colors should be the most mainstream home appliance colors, and they are good matches with the color of the furniture at home.

"Okay, then let's ditch gray and go with other colors. Is the power amplifier the same color as the Super VCD? ā€

The power amplifier, that is, the power amplifier, can be called a loudspeaker to put it bluntly, and it is one of the very basic devices in the sound system, which can amplify the sound and make the effect better, so that it has the effect of home theater and karaoke.

Philips's power amplifier, called A~V power amplifier, has four channels, as well as surround sound, so that when people watch the disc, the ambient sound effect is more realistic. There is the feeling of watching a movie in a movie theater. The main goal of this amplifier is home viewing.

The power amplifier researched by AIWA is the Hi-Fi power amplifier. That is, a high-fidelity amplifier with only two channels. It's perfect for listening to songs. The main target of this amplifier is those KTVs, dance halls, and those who go there to play are singing.

The technology of this equipment is not too difficult, and Philips and AIWA themselves produce power amplifiers, and we have communicated and improved each other's technology.

"So what kind of random gift is our super VCD? Except for a regular song CD. What else should there be? "Thomas humbly asked, in this regard, Wind and Rain Electronics is much more experienced than their Philips.

"Two microphones, one cleaner to wipe and clean the discs, and one disc case."

"Mr. Feng, I know the microphone is used for singing, and the detergent is also to prevent stains on the surface of the disc from affecting the reading, these are all normal, but what's the use of sending a disc case?" Thomas was a little confused, and it didn't make sense to send the disc box at all.

Feng Yu asked with a smile, "Mr. Thomas." If in your home, there is a large TV stand, but there is only a small TV on it. Do you feel awkward? Would you want to buy a big TV? ā€

Thomas was not so sure, "Yes." But many families, they can only afford small TVs. ā€

Feng Yu snapped his fingers: "If the answer is correct, they can only afford a small TV." Some of the TV can be watched, although they want to buy it, but they are reluctant. But the disc is different, a disc costs two or three dollars, and the expensive one is only five dollars, and you say they have VCDs at home. When you see an empty disc case, will you want to buy some discs? Fill this box to the brim? ā€

Thomas's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said excitedly, "Mr. Feng." What a genius you are! That's right, many people may be reluctant to change the TV, but if you buy a disc, maybe children can do it. A disc box, but there is only one disc in it, it is indeed space, and normal people will feel uncomfortable. And we are two of the largest producers and distributors of genuine discs, and they have a good chance that they will buy our discs! ā€

Feng Yu experienced this situation in his previous life, bought a VCD, and someone else gave him a disc box. You said that the box is all empty, can it be uncomfortable to look at? Although he is not obsessive-compulsive, he also wants to cram a few more discs into it. As for putting the disc case away, it would feel a bit wasteful, and the disc case should be placed next to the VCD.

The old TV cabinet is really a cabinet, and there are drawers or something underneath. But the new TV cabinet is different, the whole is a shelf, divided into two or three layers, the top of the TV, the bottom can be put VCD player, power amplifier or something, there is a drawer at the bottom, which can be used to put discs, remote control or something.

There is even a transparent plastic drawer directly under some TV cabinets, which is specially used to put discs. People who bought VCDs are certainly not used to leaving this place empty, so they will buy VCDs.

This disc box is for those who don't have a TV stand. And after a disc box is full, many people can't help but buy a second disc case, which is guided consumption.

"Mr. Thomas, our biggest competitor in the disc market is Sony, we are the main ones in Asia, you are the main ones in Europe, and we are the ones in the Americas, let's encircle and suppress Sony together."

"Okay, this market, we must firmly grasp it in our own hands!" Thomas nodded vigorously.

"Super VCD, how much do you plan to set the retail price of Philips?" Feng Yu asked.

"How about four hundred dollars? Will the price be a little high? Thomas asked. Although the cost of this super VCD is a little higher than that of a regular VCD player, it will not be much higher, and the cost is more than a hundred dollars.

And now the price of ordinary VCDs is around three hundred dollars, so Thomas is worried that the price of this super VCD is too high, and not too many people will buy it.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, he saw Feng Yu shaking his head.

"How can four hundred dollars do, I think five hundred dollars is more appropriate!" Feng Yu said.

Yes? It's not that the price is too high, it's that the price is too low? Thomas couldn't figure it out, why did Feng Yu set the price so high in order to stimulate the sales of their ordinary VCDs? But Philips doesn't have an ordinary VCD, isn't that a bit of a loss?

"Mr. Thomas thinks the price is too high? You don't have to worry at all, because the function of our super VCD is much stronger than that of ordinary VCD. And the discs we will launch in the future are also larger-capacity discs, ordinary VCDs, which may not be able to be read. ā€

"I mean, VCD is two grades, like a black-and-white TV and a color TV. The price of a color TV is more than twice that of black and white, but people are still willing to buy a color TV, right? Super VCD is the high-end product in VCD, and the price of ordinary VCD, I will lower it again to open the grade. Feng Yu explained.

"Ordinary VCD, and the price will be reduced?" Thomas was a little surprised, this was an initiative to reduce profits, so he really didn't have any opinion.

"The price of ordinary VCDs has been reduced to about $200, so that other VCD brands will be dragged down by us. They just need to open up the market for us, and if they want to share this big cake, that's not good! Feng Yu said with a smile.

"And when is our listing time?"

"On August 1st, it will be launched globally!"
