Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 54: The advent of DVD technology: a new approach to the video disc player industry

Just when the major research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were facing Huaguangdian's hoes, Xu Huasheng was also busy in Huaguangdian's laboratory.

In the laboratory, Xu Huasheng laughed after looking at the two assembled products.

One is a VCD player, with a black plastic casing, boxy shape, and looks a bit bulky.

The other one is a silver DVD player. Compared to the VCD player, this DVD player is obviously more beautiful in appearance.With a metal casing and silver color scheme, the machine is much thinner than a VCD player and has a much better appearance. It looks very fashionable at first glance.

The two products have similar functions, but the technologies are completely different.

VCD is translated into Chinese as "audio and video disc", while DVD is translated into Chinese as "digital video disc". Although the names and functions of the two are similar, the meanings represented by the names are completely different.

VCD and DVD have a common name called "optical disc" or "optical disc", but if the two types of optical discs are refined, VCD and DVD are completely different optical discs, with different application technologies and physical properties.

VCD uses a "non-destructive" compression method to burn images on a disc. The resolution, sound, images, etc. are relatively rudimentary.

DVD uses single-sided double-layer recording technology and is a high-density digital video disc, so it is abbreviated as "DVD" in English.

The storage capacity and video resolution of VCD and DVD are also different. The capacity of VCD is only about 700MB, while the storage capacity of DVD is 4GB.

To put it simply, watching TV series with VCD may require a stack of discs, but with DVD, one may be enough.

There is also a big gap between the two in terms of video clarity.

In a word, the two products are two generations of products.

The internal decoding chips are also two decoding chips with completely different performance.

Xu Huasheng had designed a VCD player a long time ago, but the product has never been launched.However, Xu Huasheng has not been idle for more than a year.

Not only has he registered various patents for VCDs around the world, but also various patents for DVDs have now been registered, forming a patent barrier.

Originally, Xu Huasheng planned to launch VCD first and wait a few years before launching DVD.But now, Xu Huasheng is ready to change his style of play.

After all, now that the chips have been domestically produced and all technologies are completely independent, this move can be made bigger.

"Go and prepare. Go back to Shencheng tomorrow..."

Xu Huasheng returned to the office and explained directly to Han Ying.

Now Han Ying is Xu Huasheng's personal assistant in name, and Xu Huasheng also directly uses Han Ying as his assistant.

Han Ying did not complain, but began to adapt to her new identity and new position.But she has not forgotten the task of protecting Xu Li.

Xu Li looked at the office and took a deep breath. It was time to go back to Shencheng. He had been away from Shencheng for so long, so it was time to go back to work.

At present, Huasheng Group still relies on air fryers and fascia guns, and this product line is too thin.

Now that I have money, I will play something big next.

As for the request he made in the mysterious courtyard that day, Xu Huasheng also knew that these matters would take some time to discuss before reaching a conclusion.After all, every decision is of great importance. This is not a small stall selling things, and the boss just gives it away with just one sentence.

At Shencheng Airport, when Xu Huasheng came out, Xu Dabao, who had been waiting for a long time, had a smile on his face.

Xu Dabao is also worried and misses his son after he has been gone for so long.

In fact, the most important thing is not to miss his son, but to think about the Huasheng Group. Without Xu Huasheng, Xu Dabao feels confused.Xu Dabao felt more and more unable to manage the company.

Fortunately, Huasheng Group had no major events during this period. Apart from the orders for air fryers and fascial guns, the rest was the construction of the headquarters and the development of new products.

When building the headquarters, you only need to keep an eye on the progress and quality of the project.

As for other research and development tasks, Xu Huasheng had already handed them over before he left, so he didn't need to worry about them himself.

"Son, here..."

Xu Dabao waved his hand, and Xu Huasheng also laughed when he saw his father.

"Dad, let me introduce you. This is my personal assistant Han Ying, and this is my driver Zhao Feng..."

Xu Huasheng introduced with a smile.

In addition to Han Ying, Zhao Feng was also sent from above. He was Xu Huasheng's full-time driver. Of course, he was also a full-time bodyguard in many cases.

In addition to people on the surface, Xu Huasheng is actually very well protected by the country secretly. Xu Huasheng's status in the heart of the country is now extraordinary.

"Well, welcome you two, son, let's go back, let's go back and talk..."

Xu Dabao didn't ask any more questions. His son made the decision on his own, not to mention that he was just an assistant and a driver, and he wasn't looking for a daughter-in-law. Why did he ask so many questions?

Several people got into the car, and Zhao Feng took over the vehicle directly.

"This car is a bit small..."

Xu Huasheng said with a smile while sitting in the back row.

"You're still young? This is a Mercedes-Benz..."

Xu Huasheng couldn't help but said.This is a Mercedes-Benz S that I just bought last year. Xu Dabao also likes this car very much. It has large space and sufficient power. It is much more comfortable than his previous Santana.

"I'll build you a big one later..."

Xu Huasheng said jokingly.

Mercedes-Benz W126, although this car is good, it is still far behind the luxury cars of a few decades later.

Whether it's safety or comfort, there's no comparison.

Huasheng Group will not let go of the automobile industry.The automobile industry is an important pillar of the Japanese and Korean economies. Even if it is to seize the national fortunes of these two countries, China's automobile industry must be developed. Japanese and Korean brands must not be allowed to dominate the Chinese market.

As for the Germans, when the time comes to hug the grass and hunt the rabbits, I will hug them by the way.As long as we are here, we cannot allow these foreign brands to make money so comfortably in China.

The two men did not go home directly. After the car came out of the airport, they went directly to the construction site of the Huasheng headquarters.

When the car entered the construction site, it was a very busy scene.

Trucks shuttle back and forth constantly transporting various materials. Buildings have taken shape, and some have even been topped out.

"Son, the industrial area is currently progressing the fastest. The factory building has been completed and can be put into use. However, supporting facilities such as employee dormitories and schools have not been built yet. The slowest one is the construction of the headquarters. I’m afraid it will take about a year.”

Xu Dabao and Xu Huasheng got out of the car, looked at the busy construction site and said with a smile.

The construction of the Huasheng headquarters is definitely very fast because it is the most important project in Shenzhen City.Although construction machinery is still relatively backward in this era, there are so many people in China who can't bear it.

Look at these densely packed heads, which fully demonstrates what it means to be powerful in numbers.

Moreover, the workers are working very hard here. There is nothing we can do because Huasheng Group has given us too much.In this era when wages are only 20 to [-] yuan a month, Huasheng Construction pays workers [-] yuan a day, and also provides food and accommodation, and social security for migrant workers.

The most important thing is that Huasheng Construction's wages are paid once a month, on the first of every month, and wages are paid on time without any arrears.

With such treatment, when Huasheng Construction was recruiting workers, many people almost broke their heads just to get into Huasheng Construction.
