This time I came to Philips' headquarters in person, Jing Jian actually wanted more. A series of DVD-related patents, including VCD technology. Regarding the current DVD technology, it is actually very immature, and it may take several years to promote it to practicality.

However, DVD technology is not mature, and VCD technology based on MPEG-1 decoding technology standards has matured. Originally, Wang'an Laboratory had research and technical reserves on CD-related technologies, and coupled with joint research commissioned by the Hirata Consortium at that time, if you now purchase relevant patents from Philips, it may not take a month to develop a mature VCD machine.

Moreover, people at this time have a misunderstanding. Video recorders have been popularized in European and American countries, and the rental and sale of video tape markets are quite mature, and there are also strict intellectual property protection policies. So why do you need VCDs with no significant improvement in clarity? There is no need to add this home appliance to the family, which is a waste. In fact, this is still the case today. Although digital imaging technology has been popularized, there is still a group of "stubborn elements" in European and American families who insist on using video tapes, and video tapes still occupy a large market.

From this we can draw the conclusion that VCD has no market in Europe and the United States. Is this conclusion correct? It can be said that it is correct. However, no one expected that there would be a blank in China, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. There was no popular video recorder, and there was no intellectual property protection. VCDs that were easy to pirate will be popular in the entire market and will also bring about sales miracles.

Of course, in addition to DVD-related technologies, CD-ROM game consoles based on disc storage technology are also very important. Compared with the original game consoles represented by red and white machines, CD-ROM will show amazing charm in the picture and content.

There are also mobile phones. Some people may not know that Philips was once the top five mobile phone sellers in the world, and some of its technologies and patents are also urgently needed by Yikai.

...

When Jing Jian met Philips's Chairman Hudun, he first threw out a hydrangea: "Mr. Hudun, we are here with sincerity. Yikai will look for powerful business partners in the future. In our plan, many parts of the PC will be outsourced, and we are very interested in high-quality Philips monitors."

This is not Jing Jian's lying. At that time, he discovered that there was a research project for monitors in Wang An's laboratory, which surprised Jing Jian. In fact, there is no need to study PC components like monitors by themselves, and it is better to outsource them all.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on Hudun's mouth. It was actually controversial in Philips' management committee whether to enter the production and sales field of PCs with his advantage in monitors. The main reason is that Philips has not studied much in other aspects, and if you want to buy all the patents, it is too expensive.

However, now that the "Yikai Supermarket" is open, Hudun does not want to let go of the Chinese Kaizi in front of him: "Mr. Bramble, Philips is also looking forward to cooperation with Yikai. There is no problem with the twenty-seven patents you are interested in, but I personally hope that you can meet our conditions: First of all, we only provide the right to use the patent; secondly..."

“…”

The negotiations went very quickly and smoothly, which is what the saying goes - the King of Hell is easy to see, while the little ghost is difficult to deal with. As the actual power of the two major companies, Jing Jian and Hu Dun were able to make a decision in one sentence, without the need to be false and polite.

In the end, Yikai used the 73 patents in his hands to exchange Philips' 27 patents for free. Philips became the priority supplier of Yikai displays, optical disc heads and other components, and obtained a minimum order quantity guarantee and a purchase volume guarantee of more than 90% (it is impossible to 100% because the supply channel is safe). In addition, Yikai promised that when Philips' DVD products are launched on the market in the future, Yikai's products will pay Philips a patent usage fee of US$12 per piece. That is to say, it will give up direct competition with Philips in the DVD field.

When the two shook hands and said goodbye, Hudun could no longer hide his joy. For Philips, they had nothing to pay, and they could actually obtain more than 70 patents of Yikai for free. You should know that although the patents obtained by Yikai were "free", judging from the large order, they were actually purchased for a paid time.

Moreover, Philips values ​​DVD technology very much, Yikai also gave up direct competition. So what if you give them some immature patents? Philips has no losses at all.

In fact, Jing Jian was also full of joy. He didn't even care about Miller and Sayahu and his friends looked ugly because they believed that Jing Jian had actually "unconditional surrender". If he persisted, he would be able to get Yi Kai more preferential conditions.

Jing Jian didn't care much about Miller and the others' complaints. Time will tell everything. Then they will naturally know who will take advantage in the end.

During this trip to the Netherlands, Jing Jian's work was over, but Miller and the others had just begun. After determining the principles, there were also very complicated contract negotiations and legal terms, which made them busy for several days. Jing Jian didn't want to affect their work, so he started a self-guided tour in Amsterdam alone.

It is said to be a self-guided tour, but in fact, Jing Jian is interested in only one attraction - the famous Sex City Red Light District.

In his previous life, Jing Jian had already learned from various media and literary film and television works that the red light district in Amsterdam is not only legal, but also has window girls with unique charm. He just didn't have the chance to go in his previous life, so this time... I'll satisfy my interests.

Don’t think wrongly. Jing Jian didn’t have a trace of that idea, just for his curiosity. Unexpectedly, after coming to the Red Light District, he sighed that this trip was worthwhile. The scenery here is very good. Amster’s old city is like Venice, with more rivers than roads, and the red light district is built between the rivers. It actually makes Jing Jian feel like a "Qinhuai family".

Besides the window girl, the business here is quite developed, with restaurants, fashion stores and various souvenir shops everywhere. It is just that kind of souvenirs... especially the pattern and appearance...? It's better not to mention it. Jing Jian didn't dare to buy them back at all, although these souvenirs were all quite interesting, mainly because he was afraid of being beaten to death by Zhao Xia and the others.

Alas! Conservative Chinese woman!

...

Just as Jing Jian was reluctant to leave with a souvenir, he suddenly heard a surprise cry behind him: "Hey? Xiao Jian, is it you? Have you also arrived in the Netherlands?"
Chapter completed!
