As a VCD manufacturer, and with decent R&D capabilities, it is not too difficult to use your own things and things produced by Huaxia Enterprises to build a VCD, but no one has thought about it before.

That's all.

In less than an hour, a brand new VCD appeared in front of Fang Chen. This VCD was no different from other VCDs on the outside, but it had changed a lot on the inside.

According to Jin Zhijiang's introduction, except for the decoding chip, this VCD is completely imported from Scandinavia. 50% of the components of the movement are from China. Even the laser head has both a reflector and a polarizing beam splitting prism.

Each optical element comes from China, and overall, the localization rate has reached 95%.

As the power was plugged in, the video cable was connected to the TV, and a disc was swallowed by the tray into the VCD. Everyone held their breath and stared at the TV with uneasiness.

As waves of disc-reading sounds sounded that were obviously harsh and much louder than the VCD using imported parts, everyone's hearts were instantly in their throats.

However, what made them even more desperate was that after half a minute, the VCD still failed to read the disc successfully, allowing the TV to display the proper picture.

On the side, Huang Yihe, the executive deputy general manager of Xiaobawang, wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but said: "Is there something wrong with the disc? Or maybe the video cable is not plugged in properly?"

After hearing this, the others' eyes couldn't help but light up, and even Jin Zhijiang looked at Fang Chen subconsciously.

Fang Chen shook his head and said in a cold tone: "If you want to check it, go and check it, but if that's the case, then I think you two, the general manager and the executive vice president, are a little too unqualified.

Already."

As a temporary piece of equipment, the localization rate is extremely high. It is just to test how the domestic parts will perform after using them to see if the domestic parts can be used and whether they are good products. This VCD is allowed to make mistakes.

, even no matter how bad his performance is, Fang Chen can accept it.

But if he can't solve even minor problems such as a problem with the disc or whether the video cable is plugged in properly, then he really needs to ask the two general managers and executive vice presidents, Jin Zhijiang and Huang Yihe, to do his best.

How did you become a bully? How did you manage the little bully?

Hearing what Fang Chen said, everyone was dumbfounded and fell into a dilemma. They didn't know whether to check the VCD or not. If it was really found out that it was due to other minor problems, it would probably be in trouble. Even Mr. Jin and Huang

There is always something to eat or suffer.

Huang Yihe's face turned pale. He just subconsciously wanted to find another reason, or just throw the pot away. Unexpectedly, he failed to throw the pot away, and instead brought another bigger blow to himself and Jin Zhijiang.

pot.

Jin Zhijiang bit his back molar, and then said directly: "Check it."

Having followed Fang Chen for so many years, he naturally knows Fang Chen's character well. If he doesn't even have the courage to check his mistakes and correct them, then he will really let Fang Chen down.

Huang Yihe even took the initiative to go and check. He must resolve the matter he himself caused.

However, before Huang Yihe walked to the TV, the screen suddenly lit up and the speaker sounded.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, and Huang Yihe was even more motionless, as if he was afraid that if he moved, this hard-won scene would disappear.

But no matter what, after all, the scene was broadcast, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little relieved. At least this proved that there were no minor problems that should not occur except for the VCD itself.

However, the good times did not last long. The picture suddenly stopped and was stuck there. A monotonous and harsh repetitive sound came from the speaker. After waiting for more than a minute, there was no relief.

Seeing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. If this were in his previous life, he should have ejected the disc at this time, and then wiped the disc with some so-called disc repair agent.

This kind of optical disc repair agent can be used to repair scratches on optical discs, and sometimes it can actually bring people back to life. And he remembered that the optical disc repair agent should have been developed by the Science Popularization Department of the Luozhou Association for Science and Technology.

In fact, the formula is very simple. It is just a detergent made from some alcohol plus toothpaste and abrasives. It can remove small scratches and unclean areas on the disc.

But now, the disc is brand new and has never been used, so this problem still occurs. In addition, at the beginning, the content could not be displayed for a long time. It can only be said that there is still a problem in reading this part.

However, it doesn't matter. He didn't expect this VCD to be used smoothly. The picture and sound just appeared are enough to prove that this VCD is on the right track. Even if it is unusable now, he believes that these problems will not be solved for long.

It will be solved one by one.

Just like in the previous life, although domestic VCDs initially used movements and laser heads from Sony and Philips, after 1997, domestic movements and laser heads slowly appeared on the market.

It's a pity that at that time, VCD was about to become a thing of yesterday and its glory was gone. These companies that produced domestic movements and laser heads did not develop.

But compared to Sony and Philips, which basically quit the production of movements and laser heads because the market is too small and there is no profit, some domestic manufacturers are still barely surviving, and their products can even be seen in 2018.

The same is true for decoding chips. Scobo no longer exists. Domestic decoding chip companies such as Sungyang and Actions are still active.

After all, their costs and selling prices are lower.

Therefore, he has confidence in Xiaobawang, these scientific researchers, and himself.

After waiting for ten minutes and watching the VCD's tenacious struggle to come back to life after several freezes, Fang Chen left with Jin Zhijiang and others.

He has already understood everything that needs to be understood.

Returning to the general manager's office, Fang Chen sat on the executive chair and asked casually: "What do you think is the biggest problem we encounter in R&D now? Is it insufficient technical strength, lack of manpower, or capital investment?

insufficient?"

Confidence is confidence, but people always have to do things to solve the problem. It is impossible for him to sit still and not think about anything, and the problem will be solved automatically. This is not the same as hoping for pie in the sky. It is foolish.

Jin Zhijiang pondered for a moment, and then said: "The last two are definitely not the case. With your strong support, the VCD Core Components R&D Department basically wants people to give people and money to give money. They want to do something

What, the technical departments of all branches of Qingtian will lend a helping hand to help them tide over the difficulties. As for the first point, it is yes and no."

"We do not have the corresponding technical strength, especially when it comes to these parts. For example, for some optical components on the laser head, it can be said that no one in China can do this. And if you let the core zero

It is unrealistic for the component R&D department to develop these things from scratch.”

After hearing this, Fang Chen suddenly fell silent. Jin Zhijiang's words were bloody and bloody, but they were indisputable facts.

The problem in China now is that not only are there no laser head manufacturers, but there are no companies that even produce the optical components that make up the laser head. It is really difficult for an electronic technology product R&D and production company like Xiaobawang to make these optical components.

After all, the corresponding talents, craftsmanship, and experience are not available.

The saying "crossing a line is like crossing a mountain" is not nonsense.

However, the most important thing is that, let alone others, let Fang Chen lead a group of laymen to build such an optical component production and R&D company, and also be able to compete with top companies in the industry such as Sony and Philips. To be honest, he also

No confidence.

Fang Chen sighed lightly. This is probably the reason why China has a place in all industrial categories, 41 major industrial categories, 191 medium categories, and 525 small categories in the United Nations Industrial Classification Catalog.

The lack of any subcategory will make China, a millennium giant, difficult to move forward. This is why China needs to master all core technologies and cannot be like European and American countries. As long as other countries have it and the price is reasonable, they will not develop it again on their own.

Just because these small optical components, which are as big as soybeans, cannot be produced, domestic laser heads cannot be produced. Naturally, Xiaobawang cannot master the core technology, and its lifeline is still controlled by Philips and Sony.

live.

This is also the reason why in the previous life, in 1995, foreign companies such as Philips, Sony, and Samsung aggressively attacked the Chinese video disc player market and were able to win.

They can already produce movement, laser head and other things, so the cost is naturally low, so it is not surprising that they have raised the selling price of VCD from the average price of 2,000 yuan at that time to the level of 1,000 yuan.

On the other hand, Chinese companies not only have to pay high prices to buy their movements and laser heads, but also endure all kinds of discrimination.

Not only do they have to pay full price for delivery, but they often fail to get the goods. Philips and Sony always say that they have insufficient production capacity. As for not being able to get the other party's most advanced products, it is even more difficult.

In addition to labor costs, Chinese companies have higher machine costs than these foreign companies. Moreover, they cannot get the goods, which affects the production schedule. When it is time to ship, they cannot ship. After finally getting the goods, the products have fallen behind.

, can only be overstocked and piled in the warehouse to eat dust.

Domestic VCD companies have since fallen into a crazy price war.

They can only engage in price wars. Low prices and low profits are the only capital they can use to compete.

The low profits that cannot make ends meet are naturally not a long-term solution. In addition, the technical strength of the company is not enough to compete with Philips and Sony, especially with the decline of the home video disc market. Therefore, not long after, the funds of domestic VCD companies

Chains were affected one after another and had to go bankrupt and sadly withdraw from the market.

Since China has 1.4 billion people and has a strong desire to return to the top of the world and realize the rejuvenation of the great nation, it is destined that China can only take the path of possessing all industrial production capabilities and all core technological manufacturing and research and development capabilities.

I don't know how long it took, but Fang Chen suddenly raised his head and said firmly: "Since there is no such company in the country, we will support one such company. Find domestic optical component manufacturers and ask.

Are they determined to develop a qualified laser head that even surpasses Sony and Philips? If so, Qingtian is willing to invest in it."

"If you don't want Qingtian to invest in the company due to the nature of the company or the wishes of the owner, it doesn't matter. We don't want shares or product patents. As long as they can develop and produce qualified laser heads, Qingtian will get one point for their shares."

No, and we also guarantee that Qingtian will purchase all the products they produce and give them a reasonable profit."

Seeing the determination on Fang Chen's face, Jin Zhijiang and Huang Yihe, who already thought they were used to Fang Chen's generosity, couldn't help but take a breath.

It is not uncommon for Qingtian to cooperate with other upstream suppliers, invest in them, and let them produce the parts that Qingtian needs. So far, Qingtian has invested in more than twenty suppliers.

There is no way, Qingtian needs a certain component, but the supplier does not have the ability to develop and produce it, nor is it willing to do it. After all, whether it is research and development or the purchase of new equipment, money is needed, not to mention whether they can get the money.

Come on, let's just say that they are not willing to bear the risk of developing new products. If the money invested cannot be recovered, then they will cry.

At this time, Qingtian will come forward and give them a sum of money to develop and produce these parts. Qingtian will guarantee the sales volume and price of its products, but as a price, Qingtian will also control a part of their company's shares.

.

In this regard, these suppliers are naturally happy to see this. It does not cost them any money, and it has expanded the scope of production and operations and enhanced the strength of the company. The only thing they need to pay is some shares.

But you must know that establishing close ties with downstream OEMs like Qingtian is what they always dream of. If they become a family, will Qingtian have the nerve to not want their products?

Even because of Qingtian's investment in the company, some of Qingtian's middle-level cadres naturally became less sensitive to them and became more polite in their speech.

This is also good for Qingtian. First of all, after the supplier's new product development is successful, Qingtian's procurement costs can naturally be reduced a lot. Furthermore, it can also reduce its dependence on foreign companies. This is for someone like Fang Chen.

, which is particularly important for Qingtian Company, which pays special attention to the localization rate and technical bosses.

But like what Fang Chen said now, they really have never heard of giving away money for free without even giving up the shares. This is almost like a kid giving away money.

At this time, Jin Zhijiang and Huang Yihe looked at Fang Chen in a different way. In order to increase the localization rate and avoid being manipulated by foreign countries, Mr. Fang had gone to the point of being crazy. It was said that he had paranoia and phobia of being persecuted.
