Chapter 616: The Man I Hate at the Beginning
In general, the third method proposed by the manager of Daqian Entertainment is really an excellent way.
Take advantage of Daqian's absolute monopoly position in the disc market, so as to monopolize VCD players, after all, VCDs without discs are no different from waste.
This is an excellent method in the eyes of ordinary people, but it made Boss Jia's face change several times, and finally shook his head and said, "That's it, it's not bad for you to think of these ideas, it's just that you lack a long-term vision!" ”
"Chairman ......" This manager is a little stupid, I don't know why I don't have a long-term vision. That's a good idea!
"Don't you think you're a good idea?" Boss Jia glanced at him, and then asked.
......The manager didn't say anything, but the silence was a clear indication that he was a little unconvinced.
"Let me ask you, if we really carry out your plan, will the VCD discs that were previously released be able to be encrypted?" Boss Jia asked.
"This, unless all of them are recycled, otherwise ......" After the manager said this, he felt that what he said was too stupid, how could the VCD discs that had been sold be recovered!
"But it doesn't matter, there aren't too many discs on the market right now, and we still have time to do it, as soon as a ......week," the manager continued.
"Let me ask you a question, what do you think you would do if you were the owner of other VCD businesses after we started selling this encrypted VCD and disc? Will you sit still? Boss Jia interrupted directly.
"I ......" The manager was stunned for a moment, and then began to think, if he was the boss of Aiduo VCD, it would definitely be impossible to sit still, and then the only way was the ending.
Since Daqian's VCD discs can't be used, then get some usable VCD discs, and it's a big deal to burn the discs yourself......
Thinking of this, the manager's face suddenly showed a look of horror.
"Looks like you've reacted!" Boss Jia sneered, "Burning VCD discs is not a high-tech thing, just go to foreign countries and import a few recorders, waiting for your encryption system may indeed have some effect at first, but waiting for their own VCD discs to appear on the market, your plan will be useless!" ”
"What's more, if you do this, you'll completely ruin our disc market!"
"The reason why we are able to monopolize the disc market now is because my VCD disc is cheap, only 5 yuan a piece, and the profit is only less than 2 yuan."
"For other people, the profit is too low, and others can't do it, so we will firmly control the market. But once we force those VCD manufacturers to be in a hurry, they will produce their own VCDs, and then our VCD disc market will also be ruined! ”
"Do you know how wrong you are?" Boss Jia almost scolded in the end, which made the manager of Daqian Entertainment sweat profusely.
"It's just a disc, the money you make is only tens of millions, less than a fraction of the VCD, if it's broken, it's broken, and the most important thing is for you to keep the VCD!" These managers said disapprovingly in their hearts, if this was heard by Boss Jia, Boss Jia would directly fire the manager.
You must know that in the eyes of our Boss Jia, in fact, VCD is not worth mentioning compared to discs, even if Boss Jia is willing to destroy the entire Daqian VCD, he will never want to lose the monopoly position of VCD discs.
This sounds incredible, but how can the disc be more important than the VCD itself?
The reason is very simple, VCD will become completely obsolete in a few years, but the things behind VCD discs will never become obsolete.
What is a VCD disc?
Is he an appendage to a mere VCD?
Of course not, what is behind VCD is the entire content market.
In 2020, Boss Jia clearly knows that 2020 is an era where content is king, and whoever can master IP and content will be able to master the entire entertainment industry.
In the future of 2020, it can be said that the entire hardware industry is for content services, and no matter how awesome your hardware is, the audience will not choose content because of hardware.
Therefore, in the entertainment industry, content is always king.
And behind the VCD disc, there is a huge content.
Due to the limitations of the era, there is no Internet, no high-storage equipment, and all videos and content are basically stored in VCD discs and videotapes.
Sooner or later, videotapes will be eliminated, then in the next few years, the only carrier of content will be VCD, this is Boss Jia spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire various copyrights, you must know that on another earth, any genuine disc, it is more than 30 yuan in price, 90% of which are copyright fees.
However, the VCD disc itself only earns less than 2 yuan, and it has only earned tens of millions of yuan so far, but it still refuses to raise the price of VCD discs, and always maintains the price of 5 yuan a piece.
In order to completely pinch the possibility of all pirated discs, and firmly grasp the carrier of the entire content in their own hands, so that in the future, what the Chinese people want to see does not depend on the Chinese people, but on Boss Jia.
As long as Boss Jia doesn't release discs, then these things will never be seen by the people of Huaxia, because all the VCD discs in Huaxia are produced by our Boss Jia, and the people will not buy other discs.
With the emergence of DCD, this hegemony should be able to last for more than 10 years, and after 2004, with the continuous improvement of the quality of the Chinese network, the content transmitted by the network will completely replace the content transmitted by the disc.
But in these 10 years, it is enough for our boss Jia to borrow this monopoly advantage to complete the strongest layout in the Internet era.
So this manager actually dared to destroy Boss Jia's disc, thinking of this, Boss Jia wondered if he should change the head of Daqian Entertainment.
"What the hell are we going to do, chairman?" Seeing that Boss Jia's face was not good, and thinking that the original purpose of his coming here had not been accomplished, the manager asked cautiously.
"Then change the advertising first to highlight the advantages of our Daqian VCD in playback quality and quality!" Boss Jia said lightly.
"Good!" The manager nodded, seeing that Boss Jia was unwilling to reduce the price, so he decided to take the high-end route.
"Well, you don't have to worry about the propaganda, there will be people from the Propaganda Department in charge of these, but you have to do one thing!" Boss Jia said.
"What's the matter?" The manager was stunned for a moment.
"That is, in the name of Daqian Entertainment, to initiate a lawsuit with the court, accusing these Aiduo, Xia Xin, anyway, these miscellaneous VCDs, all of them will be sued again, and they will be sued for infringing our patents and demanding that their infringement be stopped!" Boss Jia said lightly.
"But Chairman, our people have carefully studied their equipment, and their VCDs have basically avoided our patent restrictions! We can't win against him! The manager said with some surprise.
"I don't expect to win against them, as long as I can hold them back!" Boss Jia smiled, "Their legal department hasn't been working for a while, don't let them be idle, waste their wages in vain, find something for them to do!" ”
"In addition, we can also hype up this prosecution incident, so that everyone knows that these VCDs are our counterfeiters, and the real ancestor is our Daqian!"
"Regardless of whether this lawsuit can be won or not, as long as we establish the image of the Chinese people as our ancestors, it will be enough!"
"Yes!" The manager showed an extremely admiring expression to Boss Jia, worthy of being the chairman, this idea is incomparable to us mortals.
"Hey, it's a pity, after all, I became the most hated person I ever was!" Boss Jia sighed in his heart, in fact, what Boss Jia hated the most in his previous life were patent trolls and litigation trolls, because most of these roles were played by foreigners.
But now, Boss Jia himself has used this trick, which is too despicable.
"By the way, I will inform you that Daqian VCD will hold a June 1st promotional event. In order to bring joy to all children and teenagers, the price of Daqian VCD in June will drop to 5998 yuan! Boss Jia's last order made the manager stunned for a moment.
This high-end image should be established, the price should be reduced, and the emotional boss should be all wanted!
