Chapter 746: Submission

When Kumho and Deyi reached an agreement, Scooper became even more passive.

Even when Zhang Ke was dragged to the nightclub on Xinshi Street to drink, Emmo was frowning and was not interested in playing the game of seducing girls again - girls in the nightclub did not need to seduce them.

Emer knew that Scoub had been forced into a narrow corner that could not turn around at this time.

Kumho and Deyi reached an agreement that the large-scale production of semiconductor components is ready. It does not even take a week. The chips produced in Dallas, USA can be shipped to Kumho's factory in Haizhou for packaging. In just a shorter time, the first large-scale production circuit board will be born from the production line of the Kumho component factory. At the same time, other auxiliary accessories will be ready early. The first IPlayer born from the production line in Kumho only needs one more hour to play pleasant music. At most, the first IPlayer will appear in the RB market in another week.

There is no need to wait until the first IPlayer appears in the RB market. As long as Deyi and Kumho jointly announce the development of new product technologies in the field of electronic audio, countless electronic manufacturers will come to seek cooperation.

Although all product technologies except basic hardware architectures are in the hands of Kumho, in order to obtain huge profits from the hardware market as soon as possible, Deyi will urge Kumho to open up the product market as soon as possible. As long as Kumho is not too greedy, Deyi will even take the initiative to use its position in the industry to assist Kumho to promote new product technologies - these are the benefits that Kumho enjoys after choosing to cooperate with Deyi.

Before Kumho and Deyi reached an agreement, Scooper was negotiating with Kumho; after Kumho and Deyi reached an agreement, Scooper was negotiating with Kumho, which had supported by Deyi.

There is no choice at all!

Emmo was in a depressed mood and felt that the wine in the glass was a little bitter. He turned his head and asked Zhang Ke: "Can it be a fake wine? What's wrong with the taste?"

Zhang Ke took a sip and smacked it in his mouth, not feeling anything wrong with the taste. He doesn't like drinking foreign wine, but it's already good to provide foreign wine in domestic nightclubs. What else do you care about if the taste is good? Besides, Zhang Ke has no research on the taste of foreign wine, so he stretched his head and asked Ye Jianbin: "What's wrong with you?"

"Is Lao Ai feeling bitter?" Ye Jianbin heartbrokenly exposes Emmer's heart disease and asks Zhang Ke again, "Jinho and Deyi decide when will they announce new product technology?" He is still fiddling with an IPlayer in his hand to find freshness. Now that Jinho has officially launched the IPlayer market promotion plan, there are few prototypes that have become very scarce. If you want to ask for it again, you have to wait for the products that come off the production line.

"The influence of announcing relevant news in China is relatively weak. You may choose a time to hold a press conference. I don't know if Chen Xinsheng and the others have decided on the specific time..." Zhang Ke said casually.

"The conditions you offer have exceeded the authorization scope given to me by the company," Emmo grumbled with a look of unfaithful complaint from Zhang Ke, and grinned, "It depends on what decisions the company makes. The old guys have never responded quickly enough. I don't know how long it will take to succumb to your tyranny..."

Zhang Ke smiled with a shy face and said, "Don't be anxious. The early market is always small. The production capacity of Jinhu will be relatively abundant. The abundant production capacity can provide OEM services. Scooper can be more relaxed in production preparation. Look, I still have a very thoughtful idea for you..."

Emmo only smiled bitterly. It was useless to play the emotional card with Zhang Ke. He just felt that his role in Jianye was limited and would be despised by the idle people in the company. However, Jinhu would not give up their ambitions and established strategies.

Ye Jianbin didn't care about Emmo's bitterness and asked Zhang Ke with a smile: "How does Jinhu plan to position the market for the IPlayer?"

"Isn't this a leading social fashion behavior to a popular and fashionable behavior from online music websites or share online music free of charge from some websites, download it from computers to the IPlayer, and listen to it while walking on the streets?" Zhang Ke asked with a smile. As long as the market positioning and sales model are grasped, Zhang Ke will not investigate the specific matters in detail, otherwise what will he do with such a large number of elites?

Ye Jianbin nodded and said, "It's a pity that the promotion of IPlayer relies on the popularization of computers and broadband networks. I wonder when it will become a domestic fashion trend?"

"It's three or four years..." Zhang Ke said. Chen Xinsheng and others also had similar judgments. Of course, the player will also be sold in China, but it is a luxury product. It will not be the main product of Kumho in China within three or four years. Zhang Ke's online music sales business with high hopes will only be promoted in countries and regions with strict intellectual property protection within ten years.

At this time, most people were not aware of the prospects of online music sales. At this time, it was just a derivative business to promote the sales of IPlayer hardware. For major record companies, there was only one way to make profits. Zhang Ke clearly knew the future development trend of the entire record industry. This trend did not become obvious until seven or eight years later, and of course it was accompanied by the opposition and dispute between piracy and anti-piracy.

An IPlayer is only a few hundred dollars. When you develop a micro-hard disk-type IPlayer in the future, you have to store a 10G IPlayer and buy at least two or three thousand dollars of songs from an online music website. If you consider this way, Zhang Ke would not think that the copyright protection of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea will be too strict at all, and even feel that it is far from strict enough.

Quantum Online, with the mainstream portal website in the Chinese user environment as its development goal, will become an emerging media channel, which will involve all kinds of checks and balances, and naturally there are many troubles. Zhang Ke is not a person who is afraid of trouble, but he is worried that trouble will involve Kumho and affect Kumho's pace of running forward, so he does not want to directly put Quantum Online under the framework of Kumho, but supports Quantum Online in the form of venture capital investment in the name of Oak Park Venture Capital Fund. Online music websites are purely commercial websites, and in countries and regions with strict intellectual property protection, hardware sales, application software and content sales of consumer electronic products are complementary and mutually promoting. In Zhang Ke's heart, online music websites are not derivative businesses that are optional, but ultimately change to comprehensive software and content supplier roles, and are a business that Kumho will focus on developing in the future.

Emmer did not expect Zhang Ke to move to the online music sales business. He was thinking about the future of the IPlayer market described by Zhang Ke. North America has fully met the conditions for promoting this new product technology. Scooper should not expect to use Kumho's product technology to suppress Kumho's product market in the North American region. As a stepping stone for Scooper to jump into the product market, the IPlayer can undoubtedly provide Scooper with the best help and help Scooper establish its position in the North American consumer electronics market.

Kumho and Deyi jointly held a press conference on January 6, 1998 to inform the media about the new product DMP technology (DMP is the abbreviation of digital music player, and it also officially defined the hardware architecture solution of digital music player as DMP technology). It has been ten days since Del Fasci and Emer arrived in Jianye. Scooper was also forced to accept all the conditions of Kumho the day before. Emer signed a cooperation agreement with Kumho on behalf of Scooper Company and obtained a license to produce and sell digital music players in North America.

Kumho will jointly establish a new technology company with Deyi to continuously develop and promote DMP technology globally. Scooper, which has a high reputation in the domestic disc machine field, will become one of the partners of the new technology company to promote DMP technology in North America.

There were many media reporters who were waiting for the latest news in Kumho at the Hilton Hotel. Kumho had almost no extra preparation for this press conference, which gave the media reporters the feeling that it was a regular press conference held after the negotiations were over these days. The press releases from the three companies ran to the rostrum arranged by the venue and read the manuscript in their hand according to the script, and left without leaving the intention of listening to the questions from the media reporters present.

So far, in this ten-day negotiation, Kumho, Deyi and Scooper have reached a number of cooperation agreements, announced seven cooperation projects, and three joint ventures planned to be jointly established. The information disclosed at this press conference is really limited, and media reporters have been a little slow to respond to the so-called new product DMP technology.

Domestic media are more looking forward to Deyi's olive branch in Zhongjing Microchip's fab project. There have been predictions before, and there are also news revealed from Jianye City and the Hi-Tech Zone. For example, Sun Shangyi, Liu Zhicheng, and others of Zhongjing Microchip's board of directors and management teams, also contacted Del Fassi during his arrival in China. Everyone thought that this was the highlight. There has been no definite news until now, and they thought that Del Fassi's time to stay in China would be extended.

It was not until Kumho staff announced at the press conference that Del Fassi and his group would fly back to Deyi's headquarters in the United States by plane tomorrow, and Emer would also return to Scooper's headquarters in California, USA. The media reporter realized that the content announced at the press conference just now may be the most important result of this tripartite negotiation.

When the media reporter thought about asking the so-called DMP technology, the three-party representatives who participated in the negotiations for ten days had left the Hilton Hotel and disappeared. The media reporters who abandoned the Hilton Hotel like abandoned them were a little confused, and then they seriously discussed what the so-called DMP technology was announced at the press conference just now.

Many journalists don’t even know the literal meaning of the three letters “DMP”, so how can they understand the meaning behind these three letters?

As the sunset shone down on the top of Hehuan Mountain, four luxury business trucks drove into the second community of Xuefuxiang Youth Apartment. At the entrance of the second community, the property management department of the Oak Park Administration Department also added several staff members to strictly guard against and avoid taking advantage of loopholes for reporters with sensitive sense of smell.

In order for the happy negotiations between the three parties and the key progress made in ten days, Zhang Ke decided to invite the three parties' negotiators in the apartment on the eve of Delfasci and Emer leaving Jianye.

When Wu Du Luxury Business Vehicles drove into the community one after another, Zhang Ke was still thinking about adding a dish with Chinese characteristics to the dinner.

Tang Jing was still a little uneasy. Seeing Zhang Ke tilting his head and thinking about something, she asked him: "What are you thinking? Is it so cumbersome to smile?"

"Ah, is it very trivial? I didn't think about anything, please guess it's fascinated." Zhang Ke hugged Tang Jing's slim waist.

"What are you guessing?" Tang Jing stared at Zhang Ke with wide eyes.

"White, smooth, round, round, soft, thin and big. What do you think this word is used to describe?"

"Perverb!" Tang Jing glared at Zhang Ke with a pink face slightly red. Seeing that his hand was about to slide to his white, round, round, soft and thin place, he reached out to pinch him fiercely, "My mind is full of these dirty things, no longer possible. I am with you and will become impure."

"You are not pure at first. Look where do you want to go? I'm talking about dumplings," Zhang Ke laughed loudly. Tang Jing, who was teasing, was unyielding and wanted to pinch Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke was dodging left and right and almost fell off the sofa. He smiled and explained, "I'm thinking of adding a few dishes with Chinese characteristics to the dinner, so that Del Fasci and Emer would taste it well, so as not to despise the Chinese delicacies. Add dumplings to desserts. I'm looking forward to seeing Del Fasci and Emer picking up dumplings with chopsticks..."

Zhao Peng ran upstairs to inform Zhang Ke that Chen Xinsheng accompanied Del Fasci, Emmo and others had entered the elevator. Zhang Ke and Tang Jing stopped and played, and walked to the living room downstairs to wait for Del Fasci and others to arrive.
