Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 4: If you have a gun, you must have ammunition: Pirated discs are the best

At home, a family of three watched the disc on the video player. Although in Xu Huasheng's opinion, the resolution was really terrible, Xu Dabao and Li Chan watched it with gusto.

"Son, do it..."

After reading it, Xu Dabao touched the rough DVD player with his hands, his eyes full of love.That look was like caressing a peerless beauty.

Xu Dabao is a businessman, and he has already seen the business opportunities of this thing.This thing will definitely sell well as long as it is run properly.

"Dad, there's no rush. The patent for VCD has not yet been registered. We must wait until the patent is registered before our products can be launched. The most important thing is that we still need one thing..."

Xu Huasheng's words stunned Xu Dabao.

"what?"

Xu Dabao asked curiously.

"Dad, do you know how much a CD like this costs?"

Xu Huasheng ejected the CD from the video player. Xu Huasheng's words stunned Xu Dabao.

"How much is this thing worth? Five or ten yuan at most?"

Xu Dabao said tentatively, which made Xu Huasheng laugh.

"Dad, you can't even buy it ten times more. The current price of a genuine CD on the market is between 500 and [-] RMB..."

Xu Huasheng told the price. When he heard the price, Xu Dabao was furious.

"What? Four hundred to five hundred? Just such a gadget? Why don't they grab it?"

Xu Dabao couldn't help but cursed.

"They are just robbing..."

Xu Huasheng smiled and began to explain to Xu Dabao. In fact, the VCD industry developed very slowly at the beginning. The reason for the slow development was that there were only machines and no film sources.

In this day and age, CD projection equipment is only used in theaters or video halls, and a genuine CD costs four to five hundred.

Later, after the outbreak of pirated optical discs, the VCD industry ushered in a big explosion, developing rapidly in China and even around the world.In China alone, the entire industry is worth tens of billions.

"Dad, our DVD player is equivalent to a rifle. But the disc is a bullet. Now we only have a gun but no bullets. This is not possible..."

Xu Huasheng's words made Xu Dabao look frustrated.

"Then what should we do? How many people can afford to buy four or five hundred and five hundred and fifty-one tickets? Very few people can buy even four and fifty-one tickets."

Xu Dabao said directly.Xu Dabao knows better than anyone how much money everyone can make now. The workers in his electronics factory work very hard for a month and only get a salary of two to three hundred. A disc costs four to five hundred, so only a fool would buy it.

"Dad, I have a solution. But this method is a bit evil, and you can still make money, but the method is a bit unorthodox."

Xu Huasheng's words made Xu Dabao and Li Chan look at him.

"We can make pirated optical discs. In fact, the cost of optical discs is not much. If mass-produced, the cost of one piece of this thing is only a few cents. At present, our country does not pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, so making pirated discs is simply not possible. No one cares. But we can’t do this ourselves, we need to find someone to do it. After all, this is not a glorious thing..."

Xu Huasheng revealed his long-planned plan.

The pirated optical disc industry is actually very simple. Just get the source of the film, get a set of equipment, and order some empty discs to fill directly.At that time, pirated disc merchants in Guangdong and other places directly built a satellite dish to receive TV signals from Hong Kong and Taiwan to obtain film sources.

"As long as we have the source of the film, the rest will be easy to handle. At that time, the worst thing we can do is buy our machine and get a set of CDs. Then we can set up some stores across the country to rent and sell pirated discs. This thing is also a huge profit. It can not only solve the problem The film source issue can also help many people make a fortune..."

After hearing what Xu Huasheng said, Xu Dabao was moved.But he also knew why Xu Huasheng didn't do it himself.

If vcd sells well, then your own business will definitely expand rapidly.You can probably become super rich just by relying on a video player.

As a rich man, the biggest worry is that his butt is not clean.As long as your butt is not clean, no matter how much money you have, you may explode at any time.

"Come back to your hometown with me tomorrow..."

Xu Dabao looked at Xu Huasheng, and Xu Huasheng was stunned by these words.

"Those guys back home are almost crazy about poverty. As long as they can make money, they will dare to kill people."

Xu Dabao said directly that he knew the situation in his hometown very well.Everyone who is really poor is unlikely to starve to death, but many people who want to eat meat really can't afford it.

"Is it reliable?"

Xu Huasheng asked seriously, he had to find a reliable person to do this.

"Don't worry, we are all our own people."

Xu Dabao's words made Xu Huasheng nod. Xu Huasheng knew his father. Even though his father looked like a nouveau riche, he was very cautious and measured in doing things.

"Dad, I'm afraid it will take some time before the DVD player goes on sale. The market is completely blank now, so we don't have to worry too much. Try to have a better layout in the early stage, so that we can occupy the market as soon as possible and get the biggest piece of cake. I have one more thing here. Designed small products, I think we can use this product to make some money first, especially foreign exchange, and at the same time build our reputation..."

Xu Huasheng's words made Xu Dabao's eyes light up again. His son's return this time brought many surprises.

"What product?"

Xu Dabao asked quickly.

"I call this thing an air fryer. The principle is actually very simple..."

Xu Huasheng directly found paper and pen, quickly drew the air fryer, and explained the principles to his father.

"Isn't this thing just like an oven? Does anyone buy this thing?"

After hearing this, Xu Dabao was skeptical about this thing.

"Dad, you don't know this. Nowadays in developed countries in Europe and the United States, people are pursuing health. The cooking skills of those people in Europe and the United States are incomparable to us. When they cook, they either bake or fry, and they are like drinking oil every day. . Food made in an air fryer can save [-] to [-]% of the fat compared to traditional fried food, and it is simple, easy to use and trouble-free. As long as it is promoted properly, it will definitely sell well. And this thing has no technical content, we Chinese artificial It’s cheap. Even if the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States produce similar products, the price will definitely be much more expensive than ours..."

Xu Huasheng expressed his thoughts.

The air fryer thing has no technical content, and it is easy to apply for a patent.

The most important thing is that production in China has huge labor advantages. This thing can be obtained without even leaving Shenzhen City.

Now this thing is also a blank market, and if it is operated properly, it can make a lot of money.Even if you can't sell much, you can still earn a lot from the royalties.

Now Xu Huasheng needs money, and the more money, the better.The more money you have, the more things you can lay out.

First use the air fryer to get a handful, and then lay out the VCD industry properly. The cake in the VCD industry is too big. It is worth hundreds of billions. Let alone eating it completely, even one-fifth of it is enough for Xu Huasheng to earn a terrifying amount of money.

With these funds, I can do more things.
