giants of the era

Chapter 350 DVD
On the second day after Li Zetian returned from Space Exploration Company, Seagate Technology Company turned on the phone and told him that the DVD had been successfully developed. Three days later, a press conference was held to fully promote the DVD standard.

"Mr. Li, Sony, Columbia Pictures, Hitachi and other companies are also developing DVDs. It seems that we are much ahead of them!" Dongfang Yuqin said to Li Zetian with a smile after receiving the news.

"Hehe, of course!" Li Zetian smiled confidently, "Seagate Technology has been developing DVDs non-stop since the successful development of CDs."

After a short pause, Li Zetian pondered: "However, Sony and these alliances are powerful, and we should not underestimate them."

Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile: "We are the first to launch the DVD standard, so we have a first-mover advantage! In addition, among the Hollywood film giants, we occupy two companies!! Promoting the DVD standard is naturally much easier than the Sony alliance!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded.

Both Disney Company and [-]th Century Fox Company are his industries, especially Disney Company, which has become the largest film and television company in Hollywood, owns subsidiaries such as Industrial Light & Magic, Pixar, and Marvel, and holds many super IP copyrights, including " The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and more.However, Pixar Studios hadn't blown off steam yet, so outsiders didn't know its importance.But for Disney, it is the key to transformation, inheriting the future of Disney animation.

"Yuqin, tell Alan Shugart that in three days, we're going to attend a press conference to promote the DVD!" Li Zetian chuckled.

"Oh, yes!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hehe, if you go to the press conference, the media reporters will definitely be excited again."

The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, as if he had a headline halo, even a small move could become a news headline, let alone attending a press conference.As everyone knows Zhou, he doesn't easily attend press conferences, and every time he attends a press conference, the content of the press conference will be extremely shocking!
There is no doubt that if Alan Shugart, the CEO of Seagate Technology, spreads the news that Li Zetian will attend the DVD conference, it will definitely attract the attention of the world.

There is a refreshing aroma in the study.

Li Zetian was in good spirits, and after Dongfang Yuqin left, he suddenly thought of VCD again.

"In this life, VCD has not yet appeared, but DVD has been developed." Li Zetian murmured, and then a wry smile appeared on his face. Before that, he still wanted to develop VCD to make some money. "DVD players and DVD discs are more expensive than VCD, and there should be a market for VCD. China, Southeast Asian countries, South America, and African countries should find it difficult to popularize DVD... Brother, please develop VCD and improve it. their quality of life."

Thinking of this, Li Zetian went out in the afternoon and came to Seagate Technology Company.

Seagate Technology has even developed CDs and DVDs, and VCDs are naturally not a problem.

Alan Shugart frowned and said, "Mr. Li, developing VCD is naturally not difficult at all, but we have already developed DVD, why do we need to develop VCD?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "It is very easy to promote DVD in developed countries, but it may be a bit difficult to promote in developing countries. Let me ask you, how much does a DVD player cost?"

"$1000!" Alan Shugart replied, and immediately added, "Due to the limited manufacturing process, materials and scale, it is so expensive, but the price will come down in the future."

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "$1000 is more expensive than many personal computers!"

"DVD's performance far exceeds that of video recorders, providing ultra-high-definition video and video, allowing users to experience extraordinary audio-visual enjoyment, so it is understandable that the price is more expensive. After all, this is the latest high-tech product." Alan Shugart said .

"Then do you think Chinese consumers can afford to spend $1000?" Li Zetian asked lightly.

Alan Shugart frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Li Zetian said: "China has a population of more than 10 billion. In addition, South America and Africa also have huge potential users. In addition to promoting DVD products, Seagate Technology can also launch low-end VCD products. The price of VCD is low, and it is easier to occupy the market. Those who become users of Seagate Technology, when their economic conditions are better, if they want to buy DVDs, they will naturally be products of Seagate Technology.”

When Alan Shugart heard the words, he immediately felt that what Li Zetian said was reasonable.

"Mr. Li, you are still considerate."

Li Zetian smiled lightly and asked, "With the strength of Seagate Technology, how long will it take to develop a VCD?"

"It's not difficult, it takes about a month. DVD technology is much higher than VCD technology. We have developed all the technically difficult things, let alone simple ones? In fact, when we were researching DVD, we also studied VCD. ..." Alan Shugart laughed.

"Well, get the VCD out as soon as possible, and then promote it in China, Southeast Asia, South America and other places. As for the DVD, first promote it in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and other places."

"Ok!"

After Li Zetian explained the matter, he watched a DVD movie in Seagate Technology Company. The high-definition process of the picture was indeed not comparable to video tapes.

……

Soon, three days passed.

Seagate Technology held a press conference at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

There are many company representatives who came this time. Apart from Seagate Technology, powerful Hollywood film companies have come. The movie box office is only a part of the income of the film companies, and the video tapes are also a considerable amount of income.Of course, the CEO of Netflix under the name of Li Zetian also came. Netflix is ​​the world's largest video tape rental company!
Just when the press conference was about to start, Li Zetian arrived as scheduled.

All of a sudden, the scene of the press conference became noisy.

The reporters frequently took pictures of Li Zetian with their cameras.

"This press conference actually held Chronos Li. It seems that this press conference is very important!"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

Soon, Alan Shugart came to the stage, announced the start of the press conference, and then introduced the DVD.

As the most advanced electronic product at present, DVD is very shocking.

Alan Shugart said passionately on the stage: "The advent of DVD products will change home video! Seagate's standard DVD disc has a large storage capacity, with a capacity of 4.7G, which is enough to store a complete movie! In addition, the picture of DVD Higher definition than any current videotape format, it's almost impossible to compare the two!!!"

When Alan Shugart said the last, he was confident and arrogant.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being surprised and surprised.

Some of them "booed" and seriously questioned the DVD's performance.

"It's too exaggerated. No matter how good the DVD is, it can't make the videotape worthless. I think Sony's videotape is already very good..."

"That's right, the CEO of Seagate is not ashamed to say it!"
