Chapter 1051 The battle for the right to speak(1/2)
"The dynamic image expert group should naturally seek the opinions of our Chinese experts and scholars, and even incorporate some of our technologies to make the decoding standard more powerful and complete. However, after all, this is a standard that has been established. If we make changes ourselves, it will be
It’s not appropriate anymore.”
Jiang Wanmeng looked at Fang Chen with sincerity and said sincerely.
But who knew that Fang Chen actually shook his head and said extremely seriously: "If we keep silent and don't make some noise, those international organizations will always ignore our due rights and status, and now it's us
It’s the best time to fight for your rights and status.”
Hearing what Fang Chen said, Jiang Wanman suddenly fell into silence.
Fang Chen's expression showed a hint of helplessness and faint anger.
China is indeed lagging behind in science and technology, but it does not mean that China's science and technology has no merits, otherwise it would not have had such brilliant achievements as two bombs and one satellite.
Even though it is quite backward now, apart from the other four gangsters, as well as the Japanese and Germans, which country dares to say that its overall scientific and technological strength can surpass that of China?
No, not one.
However, Chinese scientific researchers may not be so transparent in the international arena, but they are still far from having the right to speak.
With a sudden thought, the expression on Fang Chen's face couldn't help but become a little sad, and even a little self-deprecating.
What are you thinking!
Not to mention now, twenty-five years later, China has already firmly established itself as the second largest economy, the largest manufacturing country in the world, and its technological level far exceeds that of other countries except the United States.
Whether it is the number of scientific research papers, the number of innovative inventions, or the number of high-level papers, a series of data that measure the level of science and technology, China is significantly higher than other countries except the United States, but it still does not have the right to speak, no matter what others say
If you don’t believe it, you will be smeared all day long.
but!
Now is the chance!
Although international standards for compression and decoding of moving images and speech compression have been formulated, because they were just formulated last year, there are not many products that actually apply this technology.
Moving image and language compression and decoding standards are indeed very important and will have a great impact on human life.
People's audio and video works in DVD players, computer software, the Internet, digital audio broadcasting, and even various short videos all exist because of decoding standards.
Otherwise, the weak network bandwidth cannot transmit such huge audio and video data.
In other words, if there is no decoding standard, people will not be able to use electronic devices to play video and audio, let alone see various video works.
But now, the Internet is still in its infancy. Not long ago, Clinton gave a speech in Congress to formally promote the information highway plan.
And hand over the civilian part of the ARPANET used by the U.S. Department of Defense to the public for use.
Many universities, government-funded research institutions and even private research institutions in the United States merged their local area networks into ARPANET, forming the prototype of the Internet.
In other words, the Internet at this time is not enough to transmit large files such as videos, even compressed videos that have passed the compression and decoding standards.
So at most it can play a local video.
For example, the MP3 format we are familiar with, its full name is Motion Image Expert Compression Standard Audio Level-3.
Judging from the name, it can be clearly understood that this is developed by the dynamic image expert group.
Now, the only ones that can really apply this compression and decoding standard technology are DVD players that use optical discs as playback media.
However, because Western developed countries have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in laser discs, they are not very interested in VCDs whose image quality is several times rougher and blurrier than laser discs. Instead, they are still concentrating their efforts on developing the next generation of optical disc technology.
, that is, high-density digital video disc, commonly known as DVD.
Otherwise, how could it have been Jiang Wanmen's turn to invent VCD.
Ever since, his opportunity, or China's opportunity, came.
Nowadays, only China in the world has such a thing as a video player, and consumers usually don’t care what technical standards are used in the products they use. Who sets these technical standards.
Consumers care more about whether the product is easy to use and whether the price is cheap enough. At most, they care about which company produces the product and whether the company is well-known.
In this way, if he insists on setting aside the standards set by the Moving Image Expert Group and using his own improved compression and decoding standards, whose side will the consumers stand on?
If you think about it with your toes, consumers will only stand on his side, and the dynamic image expert group will not be able to influence them in the slightest.
In this case, unless those experts and scholars in the dynamic graphics group, large companies want to turn the technical standards of decoding and compression into a toy for their own pleasure.
Otherwise, he believes that the dynamic expert group will start to learn to respect China's scientific research and technical personnel and enterprises, and China will naturally have the right to speak in the moving image and speech compression and decoding standards.
But there are three prerequisites for doing so. The first is that his compression and decoding standard is indeed better than that of the Dynamic Graphics Expert Group. If his compression and decoding standard is not as good as the compression and decoding standard of the Dynamic Graphics Expert Group, then it will definitely not be possible here.
Beat the moving image expert group in a competition, let alone gain the right to speak.
But this is not difficult. He just needs to make some small improvements to the decoding compression standard issued by the dynamic image expert group and add a little technology researched by Qingtian.
In other words, his decoding and compression standard actually stands on the head of the giant Dynamic Image Expert Group.
This is much simpler. After all, even if it is an ant, as long as it stands on the top of the giant's head, it is still taller than the giant. What's more, the decoding and compression technology developed by Qingtian is not too bad, and it is not as bad as Sony.
, Philips still has the confidence to tie the game in this regard.
The second is whether it is possible to integrate all the companies that produce video disc players in China and use this compression and decoding standard spearheaded by Qingtian.
If even China's video disc player companies cannot be integrated, then Qingtian's desire to speak out on behalf of China's video disc player industry and have a say in the dynamic image expert group is simply a dream.
The third question is whether we can sell Qingtian DVD players overseas, and whether we can encroach on the territory of international companies such as Sony and Philips.
If it can't, it means that he and other Chinese video disc players are just trying to enclose their own territory.
At that time, international giants such as Sony and Philips will surely launch a fierce offensive against him and other Chinese video disc player companies, just like what the video disc player industry faced in previous generations.
As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you will retreat. This is the truth.
Therefore, he must, as Taizu said, hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming, and take the initiative to burn the flames of war into the territory of these big companies.
He was very confident about this.
If China's products are not competitive, how can it become the world's factory? Become the world's largest import and export country?
One-third of the world's products are produced in China.
It's a pity that Huaxia's brands are not well-known abroad. Most of them are only OEM products, and a considerable number of them are overseas and are called by other names.
The reason for this current situation is that in addition to the fact that domestic enterprises are not accustomed to foreign acclimatization, are not familiar with foreign customs, and have weak capital strength, one of the most important reasons is that foreigners have prejudices against China.
They believe that China's products are low-priced and of poor quality, and even directly discriminate against China and Chinese people.
I don’t know how many foreigners claim that they never use Chinese products and don’t have anything from China in their homes.
Of course, the end result for these people is usually to be slapped in the face until their face becomes swollen.
In 2004, an American reporter wrote a book called "The Year Without "Made in China"".
During Christmas that year, this reporter suddenly discovered that among the 39 Christmas gifts at home, 25 were "Made in China."
At the same time, the shoes, socks, toys and lamps at home are all from China.
Faced with this situation, she couldn't help but think: Can Americans survive without Chinese products?
So she started the challenge of not using Chinese products for a year.
During this year, she faced a series of bad situations such as being unable to buy toys for her children, unable to buy sunglasses for her husband, which forced her husband to "steal" children's sunglasses from the kindergarten's lost and found basket, etc., because these all came from
In China.
But the problems encountered by these Chinese companies as they set sail to the sea are not a big deal to Qingtian.
After all, all the above problems, in the final analysis, are all about money.
As long as the publicity and advertising are in place, Qingtian's reputation will naturally increase. As for the acclimatization, the big deal is that he can also imitate foreign companies and hire some retired political figures as company consultants, independent directors, etc., just do as the locals do.
As for the most important product strength, that is not a problem.
Today's foreign people have not yet appreciated how delicious Chinese products are. After all, most of the products they buy are products produced by Chinese OEMs.
All the money is made by middlemen.
Once they appreciate it, they will immediately become loyal users of Huaxia Products.
In this regard, Qingtian Southeast Asia Branch is a good example.
Not long after Qingtian's game console arrived in Southeast Asia, it became the company with the largest game console market share in ten Southeast Asian countries, nine countries except Singapore. Last month, the market share in Southeast Asia exceeded 60%.
After all, for these Southeast Asians, cheap and easy to use is the right thing to do. The price of a Nintendo Famicom is basically as much as that of two Subaru game consoles.
That is to say, people in Singapore care about whether it is genuine or not, as if buying a Little Overlord will lower their style.
Later, Nintendo and Sony organized several counter-offensives to reduce prices with real money. On one occasion, they lost so much money that the price was even lower than the price of the Xiaobawang game console.
But it still doesn't help. My friends all have Bully game consoles at home. They are so full that they can buy any Nintendo Famicom, let alone games like "Street Fighter", which can only be played on the Bully game console.
According to Huang Yihe's estimation, in less than half a year, Xiaobawang will be able to completely drive several other game console companies out of Southeast Asia.
By then, the game consoles in Southeast Asia will be the same as those in China. The Little Overlord family will dominate and become the well-deserved king.
Therefore, Fang Chen is still very confident that Qingtian DVD Player will sail overseas in the future.
After listening to Fang Chen's series of heroic words, Jiang Wanman couldn't help but lower his head in shame again.
Compared with Fang Chen, his layout is really too small.
"Let's see, Mr. Jiang, first take a look at Qingtian's decoding and compression standard." Fang Chen pointed at the booklet in Jiang Wanmeng's hand and said.
