Chapter 666 Buying Daqian

"No, I can't let Daqian develop like this!"

"That's right, Sony is now taking the path of pan-entertainment. In the plan, the end of this year is the time for our game console to be released. We have invested so much money in the entertainment industry, so we must not let others disrupt the situation!"

Sony's directors all spoke generously that the entire conference room was filled with the atmosphere of war, because for Sony, Daqian's rise in the VCD was unacceptable.

Sony was originally engaged in the electronics industry, and Sony has basically reached its peak in this industry. Now it is difficult for Sony to develop further in the entire electronics industry, so finding a new development direction is something that must be achieved.

Since 1980, Sony has found this direction of development, which is pan-entertainment.

In 1964, due to an unexpected technological breakthrough, Sony released the first headphones of their company. Unexpectedly, this headphone became a hit and quickly became the most popular headphone at that time, and also brought Sony an amazing profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

It was only then that Sony realized that humans could invest so much money in music.

So Sony invested in Columbia Music Company in 1968, and released the world's first CD player in 1982, etc., which went further and further on the road of music, and also made Sony realize the huge potential of the entertainment industry.

So in 1989, Sony acquired Columbia Pictures for a sky-high price of US$5.9 billion, becoming one of the world's six largest film groups, and completely launched its own pan-entertainment development.

Also in 1989, Sony selected the two entertainment development paths of music and movies, because of the popularity of Mario Bros., Sony once again turned his attention to the game console, and then the PS game console project began to officially start.

In short, Sony has basically regarded the entertainment industry as its main offensive direction, and Sony is even more fantasizing about occupying more than 20% of the global entertainment industry in the future and becoming the world's well-deserved entertainment king.

Sony has been working hard in this direction, but what they didn't expect was that under his nose, Daqian Entertainment suddenly rose at an unimaginable speed.

Sony noticed Daqian at the beginning, but it was last year.

Last year, Sony was making plans for the PS game console, and Sony knew very clearly that the only way to defeat Nintendo is to have a more attractive game lineup than Nintendo and at the same time attack the popular games released by Nintendo.

So Daqian, to be precise, Daqian's game Pokemon entered Sony's sight.

The public opinion offensive against Pokemon and the disgusting stigma of those environmental protection organizations was actually Sony's back. Sony spent only $1 million in funding, which almost made Pokemon fall into the United States.

However, because of Boss Jia's amazing response, Pokemon became a big hit in the United States, and Nintendo also began to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. In order not to alert the enemy, Sony shrank his hand back and did not cause trouble for Boss Jia.

Later, Sony changed his thinking. Since Pokemon's strength could no longer be changed, it would be better to win over Pokemon into his own camp, so he had the previous win. Unfortunately, Boss Jia knew clearly at this time how the story developed later, so he would not get on Sony's broken ship. So he sold Sony with his backhand and reaped a lot of favors and favors in Heaven.

So Sony has always been not very good at Boss Jia and Daqian. It can be said that he is a little hostile, but he was just a little hostile before. Sony still didn't take Daqian seriously at all. In Sony's opinion, Daqian is just a little bastard who has just emerged. He can kick the other party away with just one kick.

At first, Sony did not seek trouble for Daqian, but Daqian had already begun to attack Sony's position. Daqian actually created something like VCD with Sony on his back, and even sold it in Fusang. TM was sold in a crazy way. In just over two months, he gained 1.5 million users, not only squeezed the Sony video recorder market, but also completely affected Sony's path of pan-entertainment.

After all, Sony has always regarded CDs as its own thing. Now Daqian has created a Light and Shadow Supermarket, and then controlled a large number of cultural industries and copyrights in Fusang through Light and Shadow Supermarket. If Daqian is allowed to develop, the entire CD and the cultural industry behind him will be monopolized by Daqian, and finally formed a solid fortress, which is impossible for Sony to enter again.

There will even be a very sad situation in the future, that is, Sony Pictures or Sony Music creates a movie or record and wants to sell it to the audience.

But all viewers are used to buying music or movie vcds from Light and Shadow Supermarket. They ignore any other channels. In this case, Sony will pay Daqian a ticket to let Daqian allow his products to be sold in their Light and Shadow Supermarket.

This is simply the most nonsense thing in the world.

So Sony's idea that it will never allow Daqian's Light and Shadow Supermarket to grow, otherwise this will be the biggest nightmare on Sony's future development of pan-entertainment.

"Mr. Chairman, do we have any way to curb or even destroy Daqian!" a director asked directly.

"It's very difficult!" The wrinkles on Natsuyuki Izumi's face were squeezed together.

"What's the difficulty of this? Isn't the CD our thing? As long as we ban Daqian from using our CD, everything will be done!" a director said loudly.

"That... Actually, the patent of the CD is no longer in our hands!" Hearing this sensible words, Nobuyuki Irii said helplessly.

"What? Isn't the CD a patent of our Sony?" Unexpectedly, several directors asked back at this time, as if in their eyes, the CD a patent is Sony's patent.

In fact, this is also a normal thing, because before Daqian, the world played CDs and played them all. It was Sony, the only company that was used for the production and sale of goods. Other companies had no interest in CDs at all, so many people on the market thought CDs were Sony's patents.

But Nobuyuki Izumi knew that the patent of the CD had nothing to do with Sony. The CD was invented as early as 1954, but the product was too advanced at that time and did not find any way to use it. Therefore, the inventor could only wait for the patent for 20 years, and when the patent expired, he did not make any profit.

By the time Sony released the CD player, it was in 1982. 28 years had passed. At that time, the patent for the CD was gone, so Sony could naturally use it at will.

It’s just that because no other company uses CDs, people mistakenly think CDs are Sony’s patents.

"Damn! How could this happen!" Izui Nobuyuki quickly explained the matter, and many directors showed disappointed expressions on their faces. If the CD patent was in their hands, it would be too easy to deal with Daqian.

"Cough cough!" Nobuyuki Izumi coughed, which made the excited shareholders temporarily quiet, and then said, "This battle must be fought, but the key is how to fight to ensure victory and drive Daqian out of the vcd market!"

"What's the difficulty? I have the easiest way, and I don't have to drive Daqian out and just acquire Daqian Entertainment!" A director said carelessly. This is the representative of the famous Mitsui Consortium in Fusang and the successor of Mitsui Consortium, Mitsui Hideyi.
