What is the heart of a vcd?

Of course it is the VCD decoding chip!

Speaking of chips, what everyone instinctively think of may be mobile phone chips or computer chips, but in fact, even the simplest microwave oven is equipped with a chip.

Chips have always been the core of all smart electronic appliances. Without chips, an appliance cannot be smart at all. So whoever can master the chips can master the core of electrical appliances.

VCD is naturally no exception.

The core chip that vcd needs to use is the decoding chip, which is the core component that converts the information recorded on the optical disc into TV signals.

The CD is like a book written in Chinese, while the TV is equivalent to a reader who can only watch English. Then the chip is a translator who knows both Chinese and English. He needs this chip to translate the Chinese in the book into English and then watch it for readers.

Now all the decoding chips used by vcd are actually from Sony.

There are many types of decoding chips, which can interpret various compressed codes, but can interpret rmb file format, that is, decoding chips in vcd file format. There are only two companies in the world that can produce them, one is Sony and the other is Toshiba.

[ps: This is not a fact. The decoding chips are mainly produced by the United States and Fusang. For the sake of plot, we directly ignore the decoding chips produced by the United States.]

As mentioned before, since the CD has not been taken seriously since its birth, only Sony has conducted research on music CDs, and the later VCD playback convention was also formulated by Sony.

Therefore, only Sony and Toshiba can produce VCD decoding chips.

All the decoding chips used by VCD, including Daqian, were sold to them by Sony, and the price was quite expensive. The value of a chip is as high as 1,600 yuan, which is almost one-third of the cost of a VCD.

As for the manufacturing cost of a decoding chip, it is probably less than 1,600 yen.

In fact, Daqian sold 1.5 million vcds, which is actually equivalent to ordering a decoding chip worth 60 billion yen at Sony. This is definitely Sony's best customer.

So in fact, Sony is actually not engaged in vcd. If you sell decoding chips safely, you can make a lot of money. Unfortunately, Sony has developed a greed this time. They see the huge potential of the vcd industry. If they want to monopolize this market, it is natural to kill Daqian, the original high-quality customer.

"We just need to cut off the supply directly to Daqian and stop supplying their decoding chips. No one can produce one of our vcds. They don't have new vcds, so how can they compete with us for the vcd market!" Iwasaki Tomokazu, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and then looked at Nobuno Izumi, "Mr. Chairman, what do you think of this plan?"

"This is actually the opinion I will be preparing to make to all the respected directors later!" Nobuyuki Irii smiled. "We also plan to use decoding chips to block Daqian, but this involves an order of 60 billion yen after all. Without the approval of the directors, we would not dare to make such a decision!"

"In addition, we also need Toshiba's cooperation. If we don't sell vcd decoding chips, but Toshiba sells a lot of protection, the situation will be very embarrassing!" Nobuyuki Izumi said with a smile.

Toshiba is also one of the manufacturers of decoding chips, but because Toshiba itself does not pay much attention to it, the production volume has not increased and the price is higher. The market is mainly in the hands of Sony.

"Toshiba needs our cooperation!" Iwasaki Tomoka looked at the other directors present and said, "I suggest that Toshiba and Sony reach an alliance in this incident. Once the decoding chips are stopped, as a reward, half of the decoding chips used by Sony will be purchased from Toshiba in the future. What do you think?"

"agree!"

"Good idea!"

I believe everyone must be very surprised to see this. Why was it decided by Toshiba's decision but it was decided on Sony's board of directors? Can these Sony directors still decide whether Toshiba's affairs will be done?

The fact is so painful, because more than 60% of Fuso's industries are controlled by the chaebols, and Sony and Toshiba are both like this. Their main shares are all controlled by the four major chaebols in Fuso, and the chaebols cross-holding is like one.

So now, about half of the dozen directors sitting on Sony's board of directors are also directors of Toshiba's board of directors, or the power behind them is Toshiba's directors. The shares of these people together are enough to control Toshiba.

That's why this is a bit funny. Everyone decided on the Sony board of directors.

"Everyone, we don't have to stop cutting off the supply directly, as this may cause some international criticism!" Izumio said quickly, "I think we only need to increase the price of decoding chips, from the previous price of 40,000 yen per piece to 200,000 yen per piece. What do you think?"

"Risk the price? What if Daqian accepts this price?" someone asked with a frown.

"Hahaha!" Izumi Nobuyuki couldn't help laughing. "If they were willing to accept it, that would be great. We can earn back the capital of a VCD with just one chip. In addition, our chip price increases, and their VCD must follow the price increase. Why do they still compete with us for the VCD market?"

"And if the price increases, it will not reveal our original purpose. We cannot start the VCD production line immediately, which will take a certain amount of time. So we can slowly increase the price, make the price of VCD in Daqian get higher and higher, and use the method of boiling frogs in warm water to make them die. Before he dies, we can still make a good profit on the chip!"

"It makes sense!" The directors all gave praise to Nobuyuki Iri, and never thought that a person who played music could be so sinister.

"What, Sony has proposed that because the price of raw silicon in the market has risen recently, the price of each vcd decoding chip will be increased from 40,000 yen to 50,000 yen per piece!" Within two days, Boss Jia, who was in Fusang, received an emergency message from Daqian Entertainment that Sony is about to increase its price!

"Then don't worry about Sony and purchase goods from Toshiba!" Boss Jia said dismissively. He didn't know what a huge pit he was facing.

"The same is true for Toshiba. They also used the excuse of materials raising prices and also increased the price of chips to 50,000 yen!" the secretary said in a low voice.

"How much has the price of monocrystalline silicon increased in the market?" Boss Jia asked in surprise.

"The rise is rising, but it only rose by less than one point, and the price is about 20 yen!" the secretary reported.

"Sony and Toshiba just want to take advantage of the situation. Seeing our VCD hot sale, they couldn't help but want to get a share of the pie!" Boss Jia touched his nose. At this time, Boss Jia only thought that the other party wanted to simply raise the price and make more money.

But they didn't expect that Sony not only wanted to break the tower, they also wanted to steal the house!
