Investment Life

Hefei High-tech Industrial Park

Today, this high-tech industrial park on the outskirts of the city is no longer as simple as it was a year ago. The newly paved cement pavement runs through the entire line, and a transportation trunk road is erected directly between the railway station and the industrial park. The entire new area is also roughly formed. With Feiyan Plant as the center, the workshops of seven or eight companies have been put into production, and many more Companies are moving into the park, digging foundations, laying pipelines, and even ordinary developers are flocking to it. They want to build real estate next to the high-tech zone for those high-wage, high-welfare enterprise employees to settle down.

With the rise of an industry, the entire city and even the province's economy has been revitalized step by step. This is still quite a novelty in mainland China in the 1990s. Because Feiyan's reputation and domestic influence are quite amazing, the province has also repeatedly stated that it can apply to the country for funds for technological transformation projects, and can get about 100 million yuan of state support funds. However, this suggestion was declined politely by Feiyan's senior management. Now they have embarked on a fast enough highway, no longer need to run around in various departments, exhausting energy and self-esteem for a small amount of money.

But the good intentions in the province cannot be neglected. In the Chinese market, the sensitive relationship between the government and enterprises is still an issue that needs to be handled with care. Feiyan cannot make rootless grasses and must connect and communicate with the government. However, because Feiyan itself is thick and hard enough, and the optical disc industry is a great achievement, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have visited more than one or two people, and they have given a green light in terms of policy. Not too much of a problem. After sending away the director of the New District Management Committee and the newly-appointed Director of Industry and Commerce, Yu Yongan sighed softly and walked to the small conference room on the top floor. As a private entrepreneur, he knew too much about the important role of policy for a company, but he did not expect that this policy issue was not at home, but where they did not take precautions at all.

Gently pushing open the door of the conference room, a few eyes shot towards Yu Yongan, and nodded to signal to several people, he quickly walked to the conference table and sat down beside Meng Lisheng.

"Lao Meng, how's it going?" After sitting down, he whispered a question to the people around him. Meng Lisheng shook his head silently and shoved the information at the other side.

It was a very thick piece of information. Some parts of it had been seen by Yu Yong'an himself, but without this comprehensive detail, the title at the top seemed to be particularly eye-catching. He just flipped a few pages quickly and shook his head. Young man speaking to the other side of the conference table. The man was not very tall, with a typical appearance of Guangdong and Guangxi, thin and lean, but the original self-confidence and vigorous vitality had been completely defeated, and he became cramped and real uneasy, even a little embarrassed to speak. It's not like the elites that he himself recruited.

The atmosphere in the room was quite depressing. Only a little hesitant speech echoed with the rustling writing in the conference room. Even the tea cup in front of them was rarely touched.

Standing at the end of the conference table, stared at by a big guy in the room, Wang Hongwei only felt that the clothing on his back was wet with sweat. A year ago, he passed the five levels and cut the six to apply for the head of the Southeast Asian Development Department of Feiyan Company At the time, however, both Mr. Yu and Mr. Meng Dong from the R & D Department recommended it and had extremely high expectations for him. However, in the past year, the development of the Southeast Asian sector has not only failed to make great progress, and even the Hong Kong department has lost its original site. The loss of up to 100 million yuan can make people frightened.

What's more terrible is that the host of this meeting is not Meng Lisheng and Meng Dong, who are the heads of the technical branch, but Chen Dong, who has always been a dragon, but the original investor and the largest shareholder of Feiyan Company. This is the first time that Wang Hongwei has seen the legendary Feiyan commander. It is completely different from imagination. This man looks surprisingly young, but when he looks directly at his eyes, all speculation will be swept away. And empty, those eyes are too deep, too sharp, it seems that all the excuses in front of him are useless and can directly see the hearts of people.

Although Chen Dong's expression never changed after he walked into the conference room and was seated in the main seat, Wang Hongwei felt that the pressure on his body was increasing, almost beyond the range that he could bear, and his speech was unprecedented. With the standard, it is not like a competent department head at all, but it is an incompetent university reply.

"... In short," Wang Hongwei clenched his back alveolar firmly and controlled his voice so that he would not be out of tune. "What we are facing is the reactionary effect of the regional code. If the situation in Southeast Asia continues to develop like this, it is likely It will escape Fei Yan's control and fall into the hands of the Sony-Philips Alliance. "

Yu Yongan glanced at Chen Yuanming, who was still frowning, and looked at Wang Hongwei, who had already seen sweat on his forehead, and coughed softly, "Xiao Wang, sit down first."

Seeing that the young man was relieved to return to his seat, Yu Yongan turned to look at Chen Yuanming on the main seat, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. A few months later, the temperament of this person has changed again. It seems that a sharp blade is sealed with a scabbard, no longer blooming dazzling glory, but the pressure on people is far more than before. Becomes more and more old and calm. Now even a veteran like him, it is difficult to see Chen Yuanming's heart in his expression ...

At this time, Meng Lisheng finally took the stubble, "Chen Dong, how do we deal with the current regional code crisis? Otherwise, we will reopen the production of DVD players in Zone 2 and further increase our efforts to expand the Southeast Asian business, but Sony cut in Time and advertising methods are a bit annoying, maybe it will be more troublesome ... "

"It's too late now to try to open up the market again." Chen Yuanming retracted his gaze on the stack of materials, raised his head, and stared directly at all the people present. Compared with the last two plenary meetings, this conference room has a few more heads. The persons in charge of distribution in Southeast Asia, Guangzhou and Hong Kong also sat in front of them. After hearing this sentence, many people's eyes Some of them showed a little bit of shame, but compared to the anxiety of these people, Chen Yuanming's helplessness was a little bit more.

The incident in Hong Kong and the situation in Southeast Asia can be described as mutually reinforcing. A few months ago, Sony finally developed its own vcd player and put it into production and sales, which should have been expected by everyone, including the setting of the 2 area code that was approved by Feiyan, but No one thought that Japan's real goal was not to fall on its own, but to place on the island of Taiwan across the sea.

Today's Taiwan can be said to be a hardware distribution center for the entire Asian electronics industry. A market system that is easier to enter than the mainland, a relatively high-quality labor force, and the support of elite talents in Silicon Valley have brought Taiwan's electronics industry to flourish. vitality. But economic leadership does not mean that political interference and influence can be avoided. The pro-American and pro-Japanese mentality of the Taiwan leader who took office this time has clearly revealed, and it has brought great influence to cross-strait cultural exchanges. In the vcd industry, there is an unexpected chain reaction.

Sony established a vcd factory in Taiwan. Due to the interests of multiple parties and the needs of political development, several major production companies in Taiwan finally decided to choose District 2 as their own DVD region code. Since most of the Hong Kong films are currently invested by Taiwanese, there are also Many films have to succumb to immediate interests in order to be shown on stage. The final result was a collective change of flag on Hong Kong Island, turned around and invested in the 2 district camp.

In this way, Southeast Asia, which is under the influence of the strong culture of Taiwan and Hong Kong, naturally entered the 2 camp. The essence of the css area code created by Feiyan is to prevent pirated discs in other areas from flowing into its own market. Therefore, Feiyan's disc 1 player cannot recognize discs with 2 region codes.

It is just a region code that squeezes out all Feiyan vcd players on the market, and no consumer will be foolish to choose a player that cannot read his own video player. Although in the vcd alliance, it has no technical difficulty for Feiyan to re-produce a disc player suitable for zone 2 playback, but it is not easy to enter the occupied position. And due to the breakup of the DVD market, Chen Yuanming doesn't think that Sony will give up the fat so easily.

What's more, it is likely that it will continue to pave the way for its own DVD standard and strive for more market share. We must know that although several major movie studios in Hollywood have established a cooperative relationship with Feiyan, the true unified DVD standard has not yet been established. Established, if desperate, Sony may not be able to open the world in another market.

This is the real complexity of the market. When adding css area codes to vcd machines, Chen Yuanming thought of suppressing the invasion of piracy from the roots, to cultivate Chinese consumers ’copyright awareness and genuine awareness, and to rely on the joint efforts of the Film and Television Disc Alliance to maintain this. A fragile market.

However, the area code is in the hands of others, but it is not only a shield, but also a spear that can be attacked. Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, although these three regions are small, the cultural influence in Southeast Asia is not weak at all, especially Japanese cartoons, Taiwanese TV dramas, and Hong Kong action movies, almost all of which represent one A unique system. This kind of voice in the cultural field has become another aspect that the optical disc industry cannot avoid. Hardware-software-consumer is always a three-dimensional structure. Feiyan and the mainland market currently lack a powerful "software" "say. When Japan and Southeast Asia unanimously stood in the area of ​​Zone 2, the mainland can only respond very little.

This is not a situation that can be changed by a video disc factory or a hardware company. Even if your own patent is hard enough and the technology is strong enough, can it make those movie industry bosses bow down? I'm afraid I just got another round of talks. Why are you worth a few ten billion yuan, and why are you afraid of a small company that has been established for less than a few years?

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuanming shook his head. "Meng Dong, you are a technical person, and of course you will start by solving technical problems. I want to hear the meaning of production and sales below."

Faced with the above inquiry, Yu Yongan sat upright and replied solemnly, "In fact, I don't agree with Meng Dong's point. People have already taken the meat away, so we will spend a lot of effort to grab it. It ’s just a bad bone. This area code setting is often one-off. If the 2 area DVD player is produced but is not successfully sold, then it is a brick in the 1 area market in China and it is impossible to interpret us. Your own code. This gambling sales scheme is obviously not in line with regular marketing rules. "

After a pause, his voice was lowered a bit, "More importantly, our current DVD project has begun to go into production. In the next 2-3 years, it is likely that we will gradually invest our energy into the DVD industry. At this time, Going desperately for the profits over there, it might as well grab the domestic market first, and let them stir the wind and rain by themselves. "

auzw.com "But it's hundreds of millions ..." For this answer, Meng Lisheng's expression was not easy, and "the Sony DVD standard is inevitable, in case they set up an independent System, then the Asian market is likely to be suppressed by it ... "

"I don't know much about DVD standards." Yu Yongan smiled calmly. "But the most important thing is the business itself. Even if Sony promotes its DVD standards in order to occupy the Southeast Asian market, North America and China What about the market? These are the two biggest pieces of fat. If they don't compromise to some extent, they will definitely lose more than they get. "

Chen Yuanming leaned on the back of his chair and tapped his fingertips on the table in front of him. "So the key question, is it still on the DVD standard?"

"Yes." Yu Yongan nodded affirmatively. "If I remember correctly, because there is no uniform standard, today DVDs do not delimit regional code settings worldwide. In the next two years, this may be the most attractive It ’s noticeable. Without a clear regional division, manufacturers producing DVDs ca n’t rest assured to promote their products. I ’m afraid no one wants to try this kind of dilemma. Local protection or exclusion policies are often better than commercial ones. The competition itself is also terrible. For example, in Taiwan, I don't think our products can be sold there ... "

Now it is not possible. There is a hint of irony in the corner of Chen Yuanming's mouth. He would forget all about it. Just recently, the Taiwan Strait crisis in the previous life was about to erupt. With the start of someone's visit to the United States, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will enter into a thorough tension. He had not considered this complicated political and cultural background at all, but Now he can't stand his sight.

After thinking about it, he turned his gaze to the other side of the conference table, where a woman who was attentively listening was sitting. The notepad in front of her was filled with dense text, but she didn't mean to stop writing. Just occasionally raised my hand to hold the glasses.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

Hearing the call from the boss, Ms. Li Fangzhen, the person in charge of the Hong Kong branch, quickly put down her pen and sat upright. "Chen Dong, the situation in Hong Kong is actually very chaotic. The return is imminent. I'm asking too much about Hong Kong's current internal affairs, so when it comes to this complicated political factor, I suggest that we discuss it from a long-term and stable perspective. "

Looking at the lady's serious expression, Chen Yuanming's fingers bounced gently on the table, "Do you mean, Ma Xiong or don't mess around?"

Looking at the helpless smile on the corner of the other's lips, and a few other people's thoughts or depression. Chen Yuanming finally exhaled a long breath.

"The Hong Kong side should not let it go lightly, nor should it rush forward. Since there are many opinions, I'll go to Hong Kong Island to see for myself."
