Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 87 The Father of VCD (First Order)

Cao Jian doesn't have much influence in Hong Kong, but he has a good brother in mainland China.

When Cao Wei heard that he could go to Hong Kong, he excitedly said, "Brother, can I really go to Hong Kong for fun?"

"Of course I will. I'll let you guys see it for yourself then."

Cao Jian did not tell his purpose at the dinner table. After all, these things could not be told to Yang Yuying.

If Tian Mei knew that she was being targeted in Hong Kong, she would definitely be worried.

But he warned: "Third brother, you must bring a few people with good skills, at least not worse than you, and make sure to protect your sister-in-law."

"Don't worry about this."

Cao Wei immediately agreed.

Now more and more people from the mainland want to visit Hong Kong, but it is not easy to find a few with good skills.

Moreover, KTV has recruited many soldiers, and they are all good at fighting.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Jian opened a KTV.

It definitely won’t work if I don’t have anyone under my command.

Cao Jian then said to Yang Yuying and Mao Nian, "When the invitation letter is sent to New Era Audio and Video, you must convince Boss Li to arrange for the third child to be included in the visiting delegation."

"Well, don't worry about this. My sister-in-law is the company's cash cow now. President Li will definitely agree."

Mao Ning also looks forward to going to Hong Kong. After all, with the help of Cao Jian, he has now become a star.

The song "Big-Headed Leather Shoes" is quite popular, and it will become popular again when the second album "September 9th Wine" comes out.

And all of this is thanks to "Brother Jian".

Yang Yuying had been listening nearby, and she felt very happy to see that her boyfriend cared so much about her safety.

After dinner, Cao Jian called his cousin Cao Wei into a room alone. "Third brother, I was almost tricked by someone in Hong Kong a while ago. The reason I asked you to go there was to destroy this person for me!"

Then he told the story of Ni Zhen.

"Damn it! Someone actually dared to touch my brother!"

After hearing what Cao Jian said, the third brother slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Brother, tell me, what do you want to do with him? Do you want to break off one of his arms or take one of his legs?"

"Break a leg, that would be best."

Cao Jian thought of this scumbag and said coldly, "It's best to make sure he has no offspring!"

"no problem."

"But Third Brother, I might not be in Hong Kong when you go. However, I will give you this personal information in advance. You must be careful and don't let others know the reason."

Cao Jian only trusted his cousin to do this matter.

After dealing with Ni Zhen, Cao Wei went straight back to the mainland, without anyone noticing.

I will go somewhere else when the time comes to eliminate suspicion.

Even if you don’t succeed once, try a few more times.

Only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against thieves.

In Cao Jian's heart, Ni Zhen was finished.

After the two brothers finished their discussion, the KTV officially opened the next day.

Although there were no celebrities to support this time, this is the first real KTV in China, and it focuses on high-end products. On the opening day, the business was extremely hot.

Groups of wealthy people drive luxury cars here to spend money.

Although the minimum consumption for the private room on the third floor is 1,000 yuan, the novelty of having beautiful girls to accompany you drinking attracts wealthy people.

In less than half a day, all the private rooms were booked.

On the opening day, more than 100 VIP cards were issued, with revenue exceeding five million.

Here, a can of ordinary beer can be sold for ten yuan, and Cao Jian feels like he is picking up money by looking at the profit.

However, on the second day of the opening, Cao Jian and Yang Yuying flew to Yanjing to discuss advertising for the clothing brand with the Central Bank.

Advertising on TV stations is not expensive nowadays. You can get half a year's advertising for only 900,000 yuan, and even the shooting and planning are provided for free by CCTV.

Cao Jianhao accompanied Yang Yuying to visit Yanjing University, and then returned to Hong Kong and flew to the United States.

After getting on the plane, Cao Jian sat in the first class cabin. Unfortunately, there was no beautiful woman around him, only a middle-aged Chinese man in a suit and tie.

The middle-aged man also looked at Cao Jian, but he didn't recognize that the person in front of him was a singer. He asked in English: "Hello, are you going to school in the United States?" Cao Jian also replied in English: "I'm not a student. I went to the United States to visit a friend."

He is not yet twenty years old and is wearing casual clothes, so it is normal for people to mistake him for a student.

"Oh."

When the middle-aged man heard that the student was not an international student, he stopped talking and carefully studied a document from his briefcase.

Cao Jian didn't care at first, he just glanced at it curiously, and the four English letters "MPEG" on it immediately caught his attention.

He had attended university, worked as a teacher, and even taught English temporarily for a period of time, so his English level was just so-so.

But he knew that these four letters meant "image decompression."

This technology is to store images and sounds on a small optical disc at the same time to make an audio-visual product VCD.

It is true that after searching for a needle in a haystack, it is finally found without any effort.

This time he went to the United States, in addition to seeing Wang Fei, he also looked for VCD technology.

I didn't expect to meet him on the plane.

He immediately asked, "Hello, are you developing MPEG technology?"

"Do you know MPEG?"

The middle-aged Chinese man turned his head and looked at Cao Jian with curiosity.

This young man actually knows all this?
"I've heard of it. I went to the United States this time to look for this technology."

Cao Jian took out his business card and handed it over. "I have a factory in the mainland and am planning to invest in electronic products. What does your company mainly do?"

"You have a factory?"

The middle-aged Chinese man took the business card and saw the company address on it, which was in Central, the most prosperous district in Hong Kong. His face was full of surprise.

A young man who looks to be in his twenties actually became a boss and owns a factory?
This is simply unbearable to think about.

He quickly and politely took out his business card and said, "My name is Sun Yansheng, and I'm the owner of C-CUBE. Our company is in Silicon Valley. Why don't you come visit us after you get off the plane?"

"Okay."

When Cao Jian heard the name, he realized that the unremarkable middle-aged Chinese man in front of him was actually the father of VCD.

However, after this person and his partner developed the VCD, they did not apply for a patent, thus missing the opportunity to enjoy the VCD "big cake" alone.

Cao Jian naturally would not let this happen to himself.

After meeting Sun Yansheng, Cao Jian no longer felt lonely along the way.

The two talked a lot about MPEG technology. Although he didn't understand a lot of it, as a reborn person, he still knew the general principles.

Thirteen hours later, the plane finally landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

"call!"

Cao Jian glanced at the blue sky and looked around curiously.

Apart from being full of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, the place seems a little cleaner and tidier than Hong Kong.

The United States was indeed the world hegemon in the 1990s. Although Cao Jian did not like this country, he had to admit the gap between the two countries at this time.

This is also the reason for the surge in going abroad in the 1990s.

It seems that a few years later, there was a movie called "A Native of Yenching in New York", which seduced countless Chinese people to yearn for this beacon of freedom.

Cao Jian did not immediately contact Wang Fei, who was studying music in California, but went to his company with Sun Yansheng.

In this company, Cao Jian gained a deeper understanding of MPEG technology.

Afterwards, Cao Jian proposed to use his factory in China to jointly develop a new audio-visual product that can store and read images and sounds on a small CD at the same time.

The two hit it off immediately, and Sun Yansheng agreed to invest US$500,000, accounting for 30% of the company, to jointly carry out this project.

However, Cao Jian did not understand the technology. He planned to wait until the land was approved, build a factory, and recruit talents to develop VCDs.

"It would be best if I had someone who understands electronics around me."

On the way from C-CUBE to find Wang Fei, Cao Jian kept thinking about this question.

He remembered that this year's Miss Hong Kong winner, Amy Kwok, seemed to have a high level of education, having studied electronic engineering.
"Should I try to woo her and ask her to stop being an actress and help me run the factory?"

Thinking of this, Cao Jian was really tempted.

Beautiful, well-educated, this is the kind of beautiful talent I want
