Chapter 249 What Makes the Upgraded Product So Powerful?
Originally, after this situation arose in the market, Zhang Dong could have used the law to make these manufacturers of counterfeit and shoddy products pay a heavy price.
He did the opposite.
Simply release the product's patents, allowing these counterfeit companies to produce it openly and legally.
"Haha, Mr. Popel, if I told you that the upgraded replacement for the VCD player we produced before has been developed, is about to go into production, and will be delivered to your company, would you still be so angry?"
"What? An upgraded replacement for the VCD player? You actually upgraded the product without anyone noticing?"
Popel's eyes widened instantly, and his expression was one of utter disbelief.
Zhang Dong nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's why I advised you to calm down."
"How can a vice president of an international brand be so impatient?"
Speechless after being reprimanded by Zhang Dong, Popeel was speechless.
He also felt that his impulsive act of bringing his men to confront him was too rash.
Although Edward Company is a well-known international brand, their current position is quite awkward, like a wronged wife.
After all, no matter how powerful they are, they are just someone else's agency; that's the stark reality.
As the boss of a large company, he relied entirely on Zhang Dong for his livelihood.
In this situation, how dare I come here to confront them and demand an explanation?
After thinking it through, Pope felt extremely ashamed.
His old face was all red.
"Mr. Zhang Dong, I'm so sorry. I sincerely apologize for my rudeness just now."
Seeing the vice president of Edward Company apologizing to him, Zhang Dong smiled broadly.
It has to be said, these foreigners are incredibly sincere when it comes to apologizing. Zhang Dong had already noticed that the old guy's face looked like a monkey's butt...
"Haha, Mr. Pope, I understand how you feel. Since you're apologizing, I'll accept it all."
"But don't worry, the upgraded VCD player will soon be put into full production by you."
"Really, Mr. Zhang? Haha, that's wonderful!" Popper exclaimed excitedly. "Then, Mr. Zhang, could you tell me what the name of this upgraded VCD player is?"
Hearing the other party's concerned inquiry, Zhang Dong did not hide anything: "The upgraded product is called DVD."
"What, DVD? Mr. Zhang, could you explain how DVD, as an upgraded product, is superior to VCD?"
Seeing the puzzled look on the vice president's face, Zhang Dong began to explain things to him.
"To put it simply, the main differences between DVDs and VCDs lie in storage capacity, video quality, audio performance, compatibility, technological development prospects, and market positioning."
"In terms of storage capacity, DVDs have a much larger storage capacity than VCDs. A single-sided, single-layer DVD can have a capacity of 4.7GB, and even a dual-layer structure can approach 9GB, while the capacity of a VCD is only around 700MB."
"In terms of video quality, DVD's video quality is significantly better than VCD's. DVD uses MPEG-2 video compression technology, supports higher resolution video playback, and the picture is clearer, more delicate, and the color performance is richer."
“VCD uses MPEG-1 video compression technology, which results in relatively low image quality and is prone to blurring and graininess.”
"In terms of audio performance, DVD's audio performance is also superior to VCD's. DVD supports multiple audio formats, such as Dolby AC-3 and DTS, which can provide more immersive and realistic sound effects."
"VCD mainly supports basic stereo or mono audio, and the sound quality is relatively poor."
"Compatibility and playback devices: DVD playback devices are compatible with formats such as VCD and CD, making them more widely applicable."
"VCD playback devices can only play VCDs and have poor compatibility."
"What? This alternative product has such superior performance?"
After listening to the professional data presentation, the anger and doubt on Bobel's face disappeared, replaced by excitement and fervor.
Seeing the other person's eyes light up, their body trembled with excitement.
Zhang Dong nodded calmly.
"That's right. With the development of technology, DVD playback devices will gradually become more popular and become the main choice for home entertainment, while VCD playback devices will gradually fade out of the market."
"In terms of technological development prospects, DVD players, due to their large capacity and high-quality video and audio performance, will gradually replace VCD products in the market."
"In the future, with the strengthening of digital trends and the development of high technology, the technological advantages of DVDs will be further enhanced, and their application areas will become more extensive..."
"Hahaha--"
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's professional introduction, Pope, beaming with excitement, immediately gave a thumbs up: "Awesome class! Mr. Zhang Dong, why did you suddenly do this? It even made me very angry."
"So it turns out you had already predicted the market's development prospects and developed an alternative product."
"Before I came here, I was sweating bullets when I heard that you had released the production patent for VCD products."
"Because after you published the announcement in the newspaper, our factory's orders suddenly plummeted. It turns out you've already developed a new product, hahaha, hahaha..."
Zhang Dong was startled to see the vice president of Edward Company's Daxia branch grinning foolishly.
"Hey, Mr. Pope, are you alright? Why does your smile seem so weird?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang Dong, please don't blame me yet. Let me laugh for a while. I'm laughing out loud with excitement. You understand?"
"What? You mean this is excited laughter? Is it really that big of a deal? It's just a DVD." Zhang Dong said, unable to understand.
"What? It's just a DVD?" Popel's lips twitched as he was laughing.
"Mr. Zhang, you really dare to speak so frankly. Don't you know what this alternative product you're researching means?"
"This means that DVDs will make a grand debut and gradually dominate the market, while VCD-related products will slowly fade from the historical stage."
"Our company got a new order, and I was so happy that I laughed out loud a couple of times. What's the big deal?"
Bobel's lips twitched again after he finished speaking.
What does Zhang Dong's nonchalant tone throughout the entire conversation signify?
This demonstrates that the company has extremely strong research and development capabilities.
So even though the DVD, a next-generation product, was developed, the young boss in front of him didn't show much excitement, as if it were already commonplace.
Looking at myself, I seem like a clown who has never seen the world, a frog in a well.
Popel's twitching lips just now were also a sign of this.
This made him feel incredibly ashamed.
