Three days later.
Anne called again.
"Boss, the first batch of 200,000 decoding chips for Sony is ready for shipment. The installation has just been completed. Can we ship it now?"
That's what Annie said on the phone.
According to the contract, UUCBE is indeed scheduled to be shipped today.
Chen Dong sat in his office and glanced at the time.
It was 10 a.m.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "We can ship the goods, but there's no need to use the express channel. The normal channel is fine."
“Okay, boss. If you want to delay things a bit, we can ship at 3 PM. There’s another cargo ship departing at 3 PM,” Annie thoughtfully suggested.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong agreed with Annie's approach.
At this time, Pengcheng Longteng Electronics' production line was operating at high intensity, and batches of the latest Longteng VCDs were being delivered to the warehouse.
We are just waiting for Chen Dong's order to begin full-scale sales.
As for Hong Kong, Xiang Huaqiang was also making preparations for various matters.
It can be said that everything is ready except for the final push.
At this point, the timing was so precise that it was measured in hours.
In other words, if Chen Dong delays Sony for an hour, both sides will have an extra hour of opportunity.
On this point, Chen Dong certainly wouldn't hold back.
UUCBE shipped the goods at 3 p.m. that day.
Anne told Satoji the news.
Sato Tsutomu said excitedly on the phone, "Miss Anne, people from your beautiful country are so efficient! Thank you so much!"
On the other end of the phone, Annie rolled her eyes and cursed inwardly, "You're the American, your whole family are American dogs."
However, Annie resisted the urge to give Sato Tsutoshi a good scolding and simply exchanged a few polite words before hanging up the phone.
Two days later, the decoding chip arrived at Sony headquarters.
The technical department at Sony headquarters worked through the night and finally produced a batch of Sony VCD prototypes in the early hours of the morning.
In fact, these prototypes had already been produced, but the assembly part was missing.
After the decoding chip arrived and was assembled, the prototype entered the final testing phase.
The test results were very good.
Sony's VCDs far surpass those of other VCD players in both appearance and performance.
At this moment, Jiang Wanmin was unaware that a nightmare for him and Wanjia VCD was about to unfold.
Jiang Wanmin has Li Ka-shing as his host, which is a great advantage for him.
During this period, Jiang Wanmin frequently appeared in various media outlets and magazines.
These media outlets have given Jiang Wanmin a very high evaluation.
In no time, the title of "Father of VCD" became known worldwide.
In this state, Jiang Wanmin also entered into a life of singing and dancing.
While Lao Zhou and other senior executives of Wanjia Company were busy with production, Wanjia VCD orders were still in short supply.
...
At Sony headquarters, Ichiro Yoshida, Tsutomu Sato, and other Sony executives sat in a meeting room.
The Sony VCD player was playing a movie, and everyone was watching with great interest.
After the test was completed, the technical director stood up and said with a smile, "President Yoshida, Vice President Sato, our production line is ready to start at any time. The product has passed the final test, and the relevant data files have entered the archiving stage."
"Currently, there's nothing that needs optimization. However, I will continue to lead the team to work hard for the second-generation product!" the technical director said confidently.
It is foreseeable that once the higher-performance Sony VCD is released, it will be incredibly popular.
At this point, Sato Tsutomu suggested, "President Yoshida, as far as I know, Wanjia VCD is very weak in product promotion. They haven't even bought advertising slots during prime time on television. We can focus on this and make our product surpass Wanjia VCD in a short period of time through advertising!"
Sato Tsutomu's suggestion quickly caught the attention of Yoshida Ichiro.
It's important to know that island nation companies place great emphasis on corporate culture and product promotion.
In terms of brand building, island nation companies have always been far ahead.
In comparison, Jiang Wanmin was indeed a bit too arrogant.
Even after repeated reminders from his deputy, Jiang Wanmin insisted on prioritizing the product, believing that there was no need to waste manpower and resources on advertising.
Or perhaps Jiang Weimin had too much confidence in Wanjia VCD.
He felt that relying on advertising to promote himself was an insult to him and Wanjia VCD.
This situation marked the beginning of the tragedy that led to Wanjia VCD.
At this time, all production lines at Sony headquarters were started up, producing Sony VCDs in large quantities.
At the same time, Sony also began to purchase advertising through various channels.
Sony has gone all out this time.
Today, Sony personnel formed teams and arrived in different regions at the same time.
The Sony VCD commercial has been filmed.
After resisting the pressure, Sony's small team found the largest advertising company in the local area or a country and purchased large amounts of advertising time slots and advertising space from them.
In just a few days, Sony purchased a large amount of advertising at exorbitant prices.
China, Asia, Europe, the Americas... major countries from both the East and the West are included.
From prime-time television programming to major media outlets, magazines, and newspapers, and even Times Square, Sony made an exception and published a cutting-edge advertising campaign specifically for Sony VCDs, thanks to its massive investment.
