Wanfeng initially set a one-time licensing fee of 50,000 yuan, plus a patent fee of 50 yuan.
Wan Feng felt that he was quite kind and that this amount of money was really not much.
He would not be greedy even if he wanted a license worth 100,000 yuan and a patent transfer worth 100 yuan per unit.
However, this small request was not met. Aido manufacturers were unwilling to accept this clause and they thought Huaguang was being unreasonable.
At that time, Chinese manufacturers had no idea about patents. If I could make your product, it was mine. There was no reason to give others money for free.
So, the two parties went to court and started a lawsuit.
Huaguang will naturally have to file a lawsuit. If it can't deal with the first one, there will be a large number of manufacturers appearing in the future, and it will be impossible to force them to submit.
Anyway, Chen Wenxin's law firm was idle, so the two sides were engaged in a vigorous lawsuit in Shenzhen.
The lawsuit does not affect his life, and Wan Feng continues to do what he should do at home.
Strangely, a ridiculous thing happened. During the lawsuit, the sales of BBK VCDs began to rise.
The monthly sales volume has increased from 5,000 to 6,000 units to 7,000 to 8,000 units.
Compared with the hardware market of DVD players which only has BBK and Aido, the software market of DVD players is now flourishing.
The emergence of a large number of underground pirates has reduced the price of DVDs from dozens of yuan per disc to twenty yuan or even more than ten yuan.
But if the price is low, the quality will naturally not be improved.
The quality of the DVD production will have a huge impact on the life of the disc.
It is the speed of copying the CD. There is a huge difference between a CD burned at eight lanes and a CD burned at sixty-four lanes.
It takes more than ten minutes to burn a CD at eight-track speed, while it only takes three or four minutes at sixty-four-track speed.
Therefore, the longer the burning time, the better the quality.
Pirates only care about the speed of disc output and don’t care about the quality of the disc. At the same time, the material of the plastic blank discs used is getting worse and worse, so the breakage rate of the discs is further increasing.
A genuine CD may have a few scratches on it, but as long as they are not too serious, it will not affect the playback. However, this is not the case with pirated discs. If there are even a few scratches, the picture will just freeze.
This places high demands on the error correction capability of the DVD player.
So in late June, Huaguang Technology suddenly launched a VCD with super error correction on the market.
This VCD not only has far stronger error correction capabilities than the previous generation, but its price has also dropped to less than 3,000 yuan, a reduction of 200 yuan.
As soon as this VCD was launched on the market, the CEO of Aido VCD understood it.
The pricing power and core technology of this VCD are now in the hands of Huaguang. If Huaguang is willing, they can lower the price to less than two thousand.
By then the project will be almost done, and all that will be left is the hard-earned profit.
Besides, they disassembled this new VCD. The structure of this second-generation VCD has changed a lot. Many previous chips have been integrated into one chip. This chip is not sold on the market at all.
They also dissected this chip layer by layer and concluded that they would not be able to produce it even if they were given another ten years.
The CEO of Aido acted decisively and reached a private settlement with Huaguang. He spent 50,000 yuan to buy the license and agreed to a patent fee of 50 yuan per VCD. Naturally, he also bought Huaguang's chip with super error correction capabilities.
Although the cost has increased, it can be sold openly in the market and there is still a profit of more than one thousand yuan for each VCD.
Dongfang Bubai in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer has a famous saying: With the sunflower in hand, the country is mine.
If we apply this to BBK VCD, it means that with the technology in hand, I own the world.
This is the slogan of BBK's second-generation super-error-correcting VCD.
During this period, Wan Feng also received a transfer of more than 6 million yuan.
This is the profit earned from stocks.
Ye Qianwen followed Wan Feng's instructions and cleared out his stocks when the price of Tibet Pearl rose to 24 yuan and the price of Zhongshan Torch rose to 6 yuan.
These two stocks made a total profit of more than 50 million.
Excluding the 6 million earned by Wan Feng from the 5 million cost, he and Lin Lairong each earned more than 22 million.
Excluding the more than 10 million he lost in the stock market a while ago, he still made a profit of more than 10 million.
"Xiao Wan! Come here, I want to ask you something."
Wan Feng was happy that Aido, the first copycat DVD player, bought the license and paid the patent fee. Although the money was not much, it was a respect for knowledge.
Not only Chinese people should be respected, but foreigners should also be respected.
According to a phone call from Lin Lairong, the Japanese are preparing to introduce BBK VCD technology, and someone will come to Huaguang for an interview soon.
Are Japanese idiots going to introduce VCDs? Is this the funniest joke of the year?
They are fully focused on making DVDs, so why would they be interested in VCDs?
Wan Feng walked into the Hongying Hotel while thinking this. Before he could call out Han Tiezhu's name, Han Guang's family took the initiative to call him for the first time.
"What?"
Wan Feng was a little puzzled by Han Guang's mysterious behavior.
Han Guangjia called Wan Feng into a small room.
"Tell me what happened with Yue Hui. I didn't feel comfortable asking when He Youliang was with me in Shenzhen."
There are many things He Youliang doesn’t know, and of course you can’t ask in front of him.
Huh? The Han Guang family is actually gossiping? This is not a good sign.
His whole family is going to turn bad.
Han Tiezhu now knows that Tiezhu is not his real name, and he also knows that this name doesn't sound good. He is no longer like last year when Wan Feng shouted and ran over with a look of asking for a beating.
Now the little guy rolls his eyes when Han Tiezhu is called. It must be taught by his unreliable mother.
It was understandable that Han Tiezhu didn't like the name Han Tiezhu, but it was definitely not a good thing that Han Guangjia, who had never cared about Wan Feng's affairs, also started gossiping.
"What's going on? Nothing happened."
"Your two wives, Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan, look about 40 to 50 percent alike. And Yue Hui and Zhang Xuan look like the same person at first glance. She's obviously your type. You two didn't even know each other before, and now you want to make her a star. How dare you tell me nothing's wrong?"
Han Guangjia acted like he was a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Detective Conan.
"Hey, Third Brother, you don't suspect that I slept with her, do you?"
"That's hard to say. I remember that I didn't come with you twice when you came to the South. Who knows what you did?"
Look at what this incident has caused. I didn't gain anything and I got myself into trouble.
It’s all that bastard Lin Lairong’s fault. I told her not to let him meet Yuehui, but this woman still brought Yuehui to him.
Could this woman be planning something?
