Chapter 52: Vixidi DVD Player, "Summer of 1991"

……

No matter what, the DVD player will definitely be on the market before the New Year.

The brand has registered "Video CD"
Some people may think this name is so weird? !
Let’s put it this way, this name directly takes over “VCD”.

It is the world's first VCD player, also known as Vixidi.

From now on, whenever people mention VCD, they will naturally think of the brand Weixidi.

What can other brands use to compete with me?!

Some people are puzzled again, saying that all these patents are yours, so how could they possibly fight with you?!
Let me put it this way, although we have the patent, everyone knows the current situation in the inland.

Who cares about your patents when you can make money!

The profit margin of this thing is so huge, probably even bigger than that of a TV, how could there be no competitors!

However, now that we have the decoding chip in our hands, we can still suppress most of our competitors.

Xia Tian also thought about it. The technical content of VCD is indeed not high, and CD-related movements are available on the market.

The decoding chip itself may not be able to completely grasp the source.

In addition, Xia Tian has always been cautious in doing things and is unwilling to have the best deal alone, so it is impossible for him to engage in a "monopoly".

It would be really bad if "Weishidi" was the only DVD player in the inland market.

You can support one or two brands and become the leader yourself!
Anyway, you can make money by selling decoding chips, and hiding the monopoly behind is the best choice!

This is also why Xia Tian wants to place the chip factory in Hong Kong. Hong Kong businessmen have great convenience and it is considered a talisman.
In fact, in the original time and space, Wanyan VCD was quickly imitated once it was launched on the market.

Guangdong Province, at the forefront of reform and opening up, saw a surge in home-based factories. They simply connected the CD player and decoder board and screwed them into the housing to create a complete machine, much simpler than assembling a computer.
The best way is to create a moat and build a brand effect at the same time.

Moreover, the disadvantages of VCD are also obvious, because the capacity of CD is designed to store the uncompressed digital audio of a complete symphony, and the drive and reading parts of the CD are designed according to this requirement.

Therefore, the recorded data density is low, the capacity is low, and the bit rate is relatively low.

This recording density and bit rate is sufficient for music, but it is a bit difficult for video playback.

Therefore, the clarity of video recording and playback is a problem. The resolution is not high enough and the video is not clear enough.

Because of this, although VCD is very popular in China, it is hardly taken seriously in developed countries due to the lack of market demand.

But it fits the inland situation!

However, if you want to make money overseas, you have to find a way to get DVDs later!

However, what really defeated VCD was not DVD, but the Internet!
The Internet will be the big trend in the next 20 to 30 years!
……

Xia Tian is only in charge of the general direction of the VCD matter, and specific matters still need to be managed and adjusted by specialized personnel.

Xia Tian didn't understand chip technology and had no intention of learning it.

How can a boss develop technology by himself?

Well, it seems so.

But those were all entrepreneurial bosses. Now Tianer is an investment boss!

All you need is vision and a general direction, and leave professional matters to professionals.

In addition to the Vixidi DVD player, Xia Tian also found time to call Milan and asked her to help contact and see if there were any universities in Yanjing with well-known biopharmaceutical laboratories that could be used for research and development cooperation...

Milan was still puzzled: "Why are you going into pharmaceuticals when all of a sudden?"

Xia Tian could only make up a story: "Here's the thing, I got some information in the United States about a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. If it can be developed, it will benefit both the country and the people, so I want to give it a try."

Milan nodded when he heard this. If that was the case, he couldn't take it lightly. He had to mobilize his connections and find out more.

……

The following time was a time when the men in Hong Kong were envious, jealous and resentful of Brother Tianer.

It’s also the fantasy time for some ladies – can I have one more?
How did the four of them play games that night?
Many people are curious about that guy.

Anyway, everyone has now reached a consensus - Brother Tian'er's health is really good~~~
During this period, they had a very happy time in the summer.
Wang Fei now completely understood that this idol sister in her thirties was much more open-minded than herself!

Moreover, the idol is definitely not the gentle and sweet big sister that I imagined. She often tells jokes and is very playful and humorous!
For example, Sister Yun once told Wang Fei and Aying a joke.

Her expression was sincere and she said seriously, "A blind man was carrying a lame man across a river, but there was someone bathing in the river."

"At this time, the lame man asked the blind man: There is a person bathing in the river. Do you think it is a man or a woman?"

"The blind man blurted out: A woman!"

"The lame man was puzzled: How did you know?" Wang Fei was also puzzled, so he asked: "Yes? How could he know if he can't see?"

Sister Yun bit her lip and smiled: "Have you ever been poked in the spine?"

Wang Fei: “Hmm?” What does that mean?
Ah Ying said softly, "Someone is poking my lower back right now!" Then she turned around and rolled her eyes at Xia Tian.
Another big battle~
……

The boss of Wang Fei’s company, New Art City, approached her and said, “Auntie, we’re going to release a new album soon, so please pay more attention!”

Such a good popularity, come on!
It was only then that Wang Fei remembered that she had an album to be released.

I had to take some time out to participate in two programs, compete on the radio, and hold a few fan meetings - the questions from those female fans were extremely obscene!
Some asked if Brother Tianer could handle three people together!
Wang Fei: "After a few days, I can't stand it anymore!"

I also want to ask if Brother Tianer is super powerful, super strong, and super nice!

Wang Fei could only roll her eyes - "I'll give you an expression and let you experience it yourself~"

That guy, his records are selling like hotcakes!

Sister Yun was also very happy about this and often asked Wang Fei about her work.

Then, Xia Tian suddenly had an idea and suggested, "I haven't recorded my album this year yet. How about we...wait, I mean record songs together! Let go, it's broad daylight!"

Ever since her idol joined, Wang Fei has always had a "comparative" mentality!

What are you climbing for in such a thing?!
Sister Yun and Wang Fei's eyes lit up at this suggestion!
Both of them regard singing as their lifelong career.

Although Wang Fei is still very lazy, she is still very serious about her singing career.

Needless to say, Sister Yun has been popular for twenty years. Although she has semi-retired, it was due to health and emotional problems.

And recording an album together is so meaningful!

Sister Yun: I don’t know if it’s because I’m in a good mood, but I feel much better physically!

Xia Tian: Of course it’s because I’ve been nourishing you.
You don't think the three of us teamed up to trick you into eating, do you?
Ah Ying could only smile and remain silent. Her singing was only at the level of a KTV mic master, and it was too much of a stretch for her to record an album. But she wouldn't spoil the fun.

As soon as Xia Tian came up with this idea, it received unanimous praise.

So, they started working on songs.

After all, it’s a summer album, so he must be the main focus.

First of all, here are the harvests from the trip to the north: "Night in Ulaanbaatar" and "Lake Baikal".

Both of these are solo songs from the summer.

Then Xia Tian chose another song called "Wild Goose". This song was created in 82. It was written on the way to the grassland to find Little White Dragon.

But he has only sung it on the radio and in performances, and has never released an album.

Xia Tian flipped through his notebook, added the songs he sang at the concert, and wrote two more songs...

Finally, the four of them decided on the song list for the two-disc album "Summer of 1991":

A album: "Night in Ulaanbaatar", "Lake Baikal", "Wild Goose", "If Love Has Providence", "Life With You", "Ten Years", "Your Backpack" (all Xia Tian solos)
Disc B: "Because of Love" - ​​duet by Xia Tian and Sister Yun, "May We Live Together Forever" - duet by Sister Yun and Wang Fei, "Red Bean" - solo by Sister Yun, "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" - solo by Wang Fei, "The Most Romantic Thing" - Cantonese version sung by three women, with Xia Tian singing the chorus in Mandarin (The most romantic thing I can think of is to try all positions with you~), "When" - duet by four people.

When flipping through her notebook, Sister Yun saw a song called "Red Bean" released by Xia Tian in 88, and she liked it very much.

So, Xia Tian: Feifei, I'm sorry~
Wang Fei suddenly felt a chill on the back of her head, as if someone had taken away her luck.
Wang Fei: I like it too. I want to sing it again in the future!
……

Xia Tian quickly contacted Cinema Asia and told them that he wanted to record a song.

Mr. Chen of Cinema City was ecstatic!
Brother Tian'er is here to bring you wealth?! It's a deal, double happiness!
And when he learned that Wang Fei and Yun Jie would also participate in the recording of this album, it was like winning the lottery!
He doesn't even know how to lose!

While the album was still being polished, he had already mobilized his connections to start promoting the single!

A song "Because of Love" sung by Xia Tian and Sister Yun!
The paparazzi, who had just been quiet for less than a week, are now active again - thanks to Brother Tianer for the money!

The heat is rising again!

At this time, more people have begun to think about this matter.

There is one key point in particular - when and where did Xia Tian and Teresa Teresa meet?

What's the story between them?
Big Nose Dragon knew half of this matter, and Lin Qingxia knew the whole story, but neither of them would tell it.

If Big Nose Dragon says it out loud, it will be embarrassing~
At this time, someone has dug out that the composer of a song called "Moon Full in the West Tower" in Teresa Teng's album "Dandan Youqing" released in late 82 was about summer!
At first, no one knew who this summer was.

Unexpectedly... I was waiting here!
Does this mean they knew each other at the latest in 82?!

In 82, Xia Tian was only 1 years old at that time, right?
There is a story here!
　I'm devastated, brothers. No one has written a book review in the seven hours since noon. I can't describe how I feel...

　　I didn't write anything today and used the few drafts I had saved.

　　Seven stars align tonight, let me travel through time! Rebirth is also fine! If that doesn't work, give me a system!
