Chapter 452 Invitations from Europe and Japan
Yang Hanning couldn't help smiling happily when he heard Tang Yu's words, picked up the spoon and ate it. At this time, Fu Yinzhao noticed Yang Hanning, and he couldn't help sighing! No wonder his son can lose his brain to offend Tang Yu. This woman is really charming! But after all, he has been through the wind and waves for a long time, but he glanced and moved his eyes away.
"Come on... You're welcome, everyone!" Fu Yinzhao smiled at Tang Yu and said, "There is no respect for thin wine!" Let's have a toast for us to get together today!"
With that, Fu Inzhao raised the glass, and Tang Yu smiled and raised the glass with him. Seeing this, Li Jiacheng and others also raised the glass, and everyone drank the glass of wine with a smile. After that, I ate it casually.
After a meal, everyone chatted casually but tacitly did not mention the issue of Fu Lihua again. After dinner, Tang Tianhao took Tang Yu directly back to the Blackwater headquarters. But the strange thing is that after a while, Li Jiacheng came to the Blackwater headquarters and found Tang Yu. Tang Tianhao couldn't help but wonder if there was anything that had not been made clear just now?!
Li Jiacheng came to Tang Tianhao's office, sat on the sofa with a smile and said to Tang Yu, "I was eating just now and forgot to tell you. Recently, Sony in Japan and Philips in the Netherlands found that I hope I can move the line with you to cooperate on the VCD project.
Listening to Li Jiacheng's words, Tang Yu raised his eyebrows! He didn't expect that Sony and Philips would react so quickly. Although Sony and Philips occupied the VCD and later DVD market in their previous lives, after all, these patents are all in Tang Yu's hands. I believe that Sony and Philips will not know Tang Yu's origin for a while.
But then Tang Yu was relieved. After all, Xiangjiang is an international metropolis! Li Jiacheng took down the authorization of VCD here and made a direct profit of more than one billion yuan. Naturally, it can't hide the eyes and ears of people. In addition, it is normal for VCD to pay attention to the sensational effect of VCD at the French International Electronics Exhibition.
"So, what are the conditions they gave?" Tang Yu asked with great interest that Sony and Philips naturally have to pay some price to get the authorization of VCD, and since he has authorized Li Jiacheng, it is certain that he can't embarrass himself with the anti-monopoly law, so the best way for them is to get their own authorization.
Li Jiacheng heard Tang Yu's words and smiled and said, "I'm not the patent owner of VCD. Naturally, they won't say anything more to me. Just let me help you find out what conditions you have.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and said to Li Jiacheng with a thoughtful smile, "Lie Uncle, what conditions do you think I should raise?! After all, I'm not familiar with the two companies, and you have more contact with them. So please give me some advice."
Li Jiacheng heard Tang Yu's words and couldn't help looking at Tang Yu with admiration. Zi said: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it is knowing (wisdom)! To put it simply: to know is to know, not to know is to not know. This is what smart people do. Tang Yu was young and gently took down the big project, and he could even go straight to the capital! Even he, an old businessman, had to look sideways at him, but he was not as arrogant as others, but knew his shortcomings very well.
He knew that he was not familiar with Sony and Philips, so he humbly asked him for advice. It's not easy to know this. In today's society, countless young people who have a little ability think how great they are and don't want to ask people for advice for fear of losing face. But I don't know that even success like Li Jiacheng and the top leader needs to ask professionals some professional questions.
If you don't understand, ask. It's not embarrassing. What I'm most afraid of is that I don't know how to pretend to understand, and to operate randomly, which eventually leads to the situation out of control. Because Tang Yu's winning but not arrogant temperament is quite liked by Li Jiacheng, and he said at the moment.
"I did have some things with them, but I'm not very familiar with them. I can only provide you with some reference opinions. Li Jiacheng smiled and looked at Tang Yu and said, "Then let's talk about Philips first!"
"Philips Company, the full name is: Royal Philips Electronics Company of the Netherlands, which is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. Philips is a large comprehensive group. At present, it is roughly divided into three departments: Philips Quality Life, Philips Lighting, and Philips Medical Systems.
Tang Yu couldn't help sighing when listening to Li Jiacheng's talk. Sure enough, professionals know it best. Although I have been in contact with Philips in my previous life, what I know most is that it produces mobile phones, razors and LCD monitors. I didn't expect Philips to be so powerful!
In the 1940s and 1950s, science and technology underwent great changes. Philips invented the rotary blade, which then developed into the Philishave electric shaver, which laid the foundation for subsequent breakthroughs in transistors and integrated circuits. Philips has also made important contributions to the development of TV image recording, dissemination and replication technology. In 1963, Philips launched a cassette recorder. In 1965, the first integrated circuit was produced.
"Hiss~" Hearing Li Jiacheng's words, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel dizzy! He didn't expect Philips to be tough,
Throughout the 1970s, Philips' wonderful new products and concepts continued to emerge. Research in the field of lighting has made important contributions to the launch of new PL and SL energy-saving lamps. At the same time, the Philips Research Laboratory has also made breakthroughs in the processing, storage and transmission of images, sounds and data, thus inventing laser discs, laser turntables and optical telecommunications systems.
Hearing Li Jiacheng's words, Tang Yu couldn't help nodding. At this time, he understood why Philips was staring at himself. It turned out that people had done something in this regard!
In 1972, the company founded PolyGram and achieved great success in music recording. In 1974 and 1975, Polaroid acquired Magnavox and Signetics in the United States respectively.
Tang Yu couldn't help but be surprised to hear what Li Jiacheng said! Isn't this similar to what the Lin family did at the beginning?! However, Philips is much more powerful than the Lin family. A bunch of singers who recorded records by themselves not only made a lot of money, but also promoted products, and it was the first time that Tang Yu knew that Polaroid was actually a Philips company!
In 1983, Philips created a new technical milestone: the launch of compressed CDs. Until 1984, Philips produced the first 100 million TV sets. The GTESylvania TV business and Westinghouse lighting business acquired throughout the 1980s also helped the company achieve further expansion of the lighting and TV business.
Tang Yu couldn't help sighing when listening to Li Jiacheng's words. It seems that this Philips is really powerful!
Philips is famous for producing household appliances, military and civil communication equipment, medical equipment, instruments and display systems. It is also one of the largest arms companies in Western Europe, from the artificial satellite, the Apollo lunar spacecraft to the latest space shuttle, with Philips products. Even the radar produced by Philips is used by American warships.
"Gout!" Tang Yu couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard Li Jiacheng's words. Isn't this awesome?! This Philips is actually a huge arms company?! Even the American warships are equipped with the radar he produced. Sure enough, he was shocked if he didn't ask!
Moreover, Philips is the largest electronic multinational company in Europe. There are hundreds of branches or factories in 150 countries and regions around the world, including more than 100 in the United States.
After Li Jiacheng finished speaking, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it gently and said with a smile, "The whole situation of Philips is roughly like this. I estimate that Philips has begun to study the technology of CDs becoming images earlier, but I didn't expect that you first proposed the mature CD imaging technology, and Feili Urawa Sony also saw that the huge market was not like a mistake, so they came to you through me to discuss the issue of authorization.
Tang Yu couldn't help nodding after listening to Li Jiacheng's words, and he guessed it was the same. After all, Philips launched the CD project as early as the 1980s. If they were not aware of the prospect of the CD image market at all, it must be a lie. It's just that they may have deviated from the direction of their research, which led to Jiang Wanshi's VCD and they got nothing.
However, it is also because of this that Tang Yu's opportunity has been achieved! Otherwise, even if Tang Yu has been working for decades, he may not have the opportunity to talk to such a company. You should know that Philips has a large number of He people's titles in later generations! It is difficult for a local enterprise to get close to it.
What world's top 500 brands ranked 197th in 2008, ranked third among the world's top 30 electronics companies, Philips ranked 43rd in Interbrand's ranking of the world's most valuable brands in 2008, and Philips ranked ranked in the quarterly issue of Ethisphere Research Institute. "Ethisphere Magazine" 2008 the world's most responsible enterprise, the world's largest LCD TV manufacturer, the world's largest medical system company, the world's second largest international patent company, the world's largest electric shaver brand, the world's largest lighting company...
Just looking at this series of titles is enough to make many people dizzy! While Tang Yu was sighing, Li Jiacheng continued leisurely, "As for Sony... I don't think we need to know about it."
When Tang Yu heard Li Jiacheng's words, he was stunned and then laughed! The Southeast Asian regional authorization of VCD has been given to Li Jiacheng, and Sony is naturally excluded. And compared with Philips, Sony is too close to Tang Yu. When Sony's products come out, it will inevitably cause conflicts between the two sides. If it is authorized to Philips, they only need to divide their sales areas in Europe, which will not affect their own mainland and Southeast Asia.
Far friends and close attack, Li Jiacheng is an old man in business, so how can he not understand?! And Tang Yu is not a fool. Hearing Li Jiacheng's words, he naturally thought of Li Jiacheng's consideration, so one old and one small two foxes laughed.
Tang Yu and Li Jiacheng looked at each other and said secretly: This is Sony! Although it won't authorize him, it's okay to use him to give some benefits to Philips...
