"Wait for me to come back?"
Chen Dong's lips curled up several degrees. "Why are you waiting for me to come back? Can't we talk to you?"
"Well, I don't know."
Lin Zhiyuan shook his head; he really didn't know what Jiang Wanming was thinking.
Wang An interjected, "Boss, I think Jiang Wanming probably wants to meet with you in person to discuss his terms."
Wang An's words were not without reason; Chen Dong's condition was that Jiang Wanming join the research and development team.
Now it seems that DVD patent technology has made breakthrough progress, so whether or not Jiang Wanming is involved is not a big deal.
If Jiang Wanming is sensible and puts aside his airs to sincerely join the Longteng Electronics family, Chen Dong will welcome him with open arms. However, if he continues with his previous arrogant attitude, Chen Dong will not tolerate him.
In another timeline, Jiang Wanming lost because he was stubborn and couldn't listen to others' opinions, stubbornly sticking to his own path until he ended up losing everything.
There's a saying that every pitiful person has something hateful about them.
Although he promised Liu Huiming that he would acquire Wanjia Company as long as Jiang Wanming was willing to humble himself, business is business, and things can change in an instant. One second you might have one idea, and the next you might have another.
Chen Dong didn't want to break his promise, and even less did he want to cause any trouble for Longteng Electronics. "I understand about this. Also, has Sony been causing any trouble lately?"
"We don't actually have that."
Lin Zhiyuan shook his head. He was paying attention to Sony's situation. Recently, apart from its high-profile share buyback, Sony had not made any new announcements.
"Thump...thump thump..."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened instantly, and Professor Yang and Researcher An, whom the others had just met, entered.
"Boss, Mr. Lin, Mr. Wang."
The two greeted Chen Dong and his group.
Chen Dong stood up, walked to Professor Yang, shook his hand, and said warmly, "Professor Yang, please sit here."
His gesture flattered Professor Yang, who said apprehensively, "Boss, I can do it myself. Thank you."
"hehe!"
Chen Dong smiled. He had a great liking for the researchers of this era. From Professor Yang's simple clothes, he could almost see the dedication to science of those people in the past.
"Professor Yang, I heard from General Manager Lin that there has been new progress on the DVD project. Would you mind telling me about it?"
Professor Yang nodded and said, "Boss, we mainly use MPEG-2 technology and AC-3 standard to compress and encode video and audio signals. On the basis of the original, we can process the information stored on the optical disc to the maximum extent. In the experiment, we were able to record 180 minutes of images."
When it comes to professional matters, Professor Yang appears very confident, taking things one step at a time, from design theory to design and then to practice.
It sounds simple, but it was the result of countless nights of research by the entire team.
Lin Zhiyuan and Wang An were completely bewildered, as they knew very little about the technical aspects. Chen Dong, on the other hand, nodded repeatedly and said, "It's much more advanced than I expected."
The American Film Production Advisory Committee drafted a wish list representing the seven major Hollywood film studios, one of which was to record a standard-length (135-minute) video program on a single CD, with image and sound quality superior to that of an LD.
The above requirements were put forward in 1990 and formally established in 1994.
VCDs only have an image resolution of 352×240 (NTSC standard) or 352×288 (PAL standard). Obviously, simply improving video encoding technology cannot meet the above requirements.
This was also the initial motivation for developing DVDs, but it was still 1993, and there was still a year before the draft was officially passed in 1994.
The fact that Longteng Electronics completed the relevant technology at this time suggests that once this technology is promoted, it will surely cause a global sensation.
Chen Dong and Professor Yang discussed issues related to DVD technology.
Researcher An stared wide-eyed.
Is this some kind of ghost?
The boss was actually discussing technical knowledge with Professor Yang?
How old is he?
It's no wonder that Researcher An would think that way; even Professor Yang, who was talking to Chen Dong, was shocked.
The young man in front of him not only saw further than him, but more importantly, he often gave him the illusion of sudden enlightenment with just a few words.
It felt like I was back in my youth, and I only felt this way when I was with my mentor.
What the two didn't know was that Chen Dong's ability to speak so fluently stemmed from his past life experiences with these things, from VCRs and VCDs to DVDs, CDs, projectors...
Chen Dong has witnessed the emergence of these technological products. If you've seen a lot of these, even if you haven't eaten pork, you must have seen pigs run, right?
"Boss, you're amazing!"
Professor Yang is quite old and rarely praises people anymore, but today, he used every beautiful phrase he could think of to describe Chen Dong.
Lin Zhiyuan and Wang An exchanged a glance. They were already prepared for this. Chen Dong possessed knowledge, foresight, maturity, and ideas that were beyond his years.
Lin Zhiyuan, in particular, had spent a lot of time with Chen Dong, so he felt the deepest emotions and had become numb to this extraordinary brother-in-law.
Even if Chen Dong told him now that he was an alien, Lin Zhiyuan probably wouldn't be too surprised.
"Professor Yang, let's call it a day. You've worked hard these past few days. Once the group has applied for the international patent, we will give the entire team 10 million yuan as a reward and provide them with a month of paid leave."
After saying this, Chen Dong immediately stopped talking. He knew that if he continued to pretend, he would definitely be exposed. At this point, as the company boss, he should give his employees the rewards they deserve, instead of making them chat idly with him.
10 million?
A month of paid leave?
hiss......
Researcher An's brain went blank for a moment, and Professor Yang next to him wasn't much better off. Ten million in 1993 was an unimaginable fortune.
"Boss, boss..."
Professor Yang, who has lived half his life, surprisingly began to stutter when he spoke.
However, no one present laughed at him; looking at the simply dressed Professor Yang, they felt only admiration.
Lin Zhiyuan and Wang An knew about Chen Dong's scheme, and were only slightly surprised. Chen Dong remained as generous as ever.
Chen Dong smiled slightly, "Professor Yang, once the funds arrive, you will be in charge of distributing the money according to your contribution. The company will not interfere in any way. In addition, I will personally give you a house as a token of my appreciation for your contributions to the company."
"Thank you, thank you, boss!"
Professor Yang was incoherent and his face was flushed with excitement.
After half a lifetime of research, I can finally stop my family from suffering because of me.
"You're welcome, you deserve it."
If money can solve the problem and free frontline researchers from the burden of daily necessities, Chen Dong is willing to step forward and address their concerns.
