After some trade-offs, Xia Tiantian was ready to agree to Sheng Dianshaofu's conditions, and switched from the SD that originally supported Toshiba to the mmcd that supported Sony-Philips.

Although doing this seems a bit unrepentant, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and business opportunities are fleeting. In order to ensure profits, it is necessary to follow the trend.

All major companies have always had many slaps in the face.

For example, Apple phones, Jobs had previously claimed that 3.5 inches was the most suitable mobile phone size for human use, but now Apple has also launched large-screen phones.

In addition, the stylus and small screen iPad were all looked down upon by Jobs before, but Apple later launched related products.

For example, Alibaba and Barba has always claimed that she will not enter the game industry, but in recent years, it has established Alibaba Game Company and is actively poaching people and expanding territory. The new game will be launched just in time.

Like Apple and Alibaba and Barba are world-class giants. Even if they have to go back on their word, it is naturally even more difficult for other small companies.

For example, a mobile phone tycoon who is good at marketing repeatedly guarantees that his products will never lower the price and promote the products before launching them. But within a few months, the price of the mobile phone dropped by several hundred.

For example, a game manufacturer in Fusang repeatedly guaranteed that it would only provide one console when launching the game. But not long after, the game was ported to other platforms.

For example, when Blu-ray and HD-DVD compete for the next generation of optical storage formats, Warner Pictures, which had always expressed support for Toshiba, finally turned to Sony's Blu-ray.

Warner and Toshiba have been in love for more than ten years. Toshiba's SD was able to win the market because of Warner's strong support behind the scenes.

Old friends who have been in the past ten years can turn against each other for the sake of interests. Xia Tian doesn’t have much friendship with Toshiba. They were together for the sake of interests, so now it seems to be a very normal thing for Xia Tian to get rid of them for the sake of interests, and they won’t feel guilty at all.

...

Xia Tian then instructed the legal department of Tianxia Group to draw a contract with Sony, and decided on the matter before talking about it.

When he expressed his support for Toshiba's SD, he did not sign a contract with Toshiba, which is why he could turn to supporting Sony again. Otherwise, he would suffer a loss once a lawsuit was filed.

When drafting the contract, Xia Tian repeatedly reminded the Legal Affairs Department that he must scrutinize every detail of the contract and not let Sony take advantage of the loopholes.

You should know that Fusang merchants are very cunning and always like to tamper with contracts and make many treaties ambiguous so that they can take advantage of the opportunity in the future.

For example, Sony cooperated with Nintendo to develop a new game console in the past two years, which made Nintendo cheat.

In the year of Hachino, Sega launched the Sega MD game console with advanced performance, much higher performance than Nintendo's red and white machine, so it attracted a large number of gamers' support and also took away the console market that Nintendo originally occupied.

In this case, Nintendo must develop a new generation of consoles in order to compete with Sega and regain the lost market. It soon fell in love with Sony's R&D technology and invited it to cooperate in developing new consoles.

Because Nintendo was eager to develop a new console to compete with Sega, he was more anxious when negotiating with Sony, so he fell into Sony's trap.

Taking advantage of Nintendo's urgent mentality, Sony raised the price and asked to launch a CD-rom console that could be interchanged with the new console. Nintendo did not realize the value of CD-rom and agreed to Sony's request.

But later the contract was passed on to Nintendo's US branch, and Howard Lincoln, the president of Nintendo who was a lawyer, saw the flaws in the contract.

If Nintendo allows Sony to launch cd-rom hosts and new hosts, then Sony's cd-rom hosts will be compatible with Nintendo's new hosts, but Nintendo's new hosts will not be compatible with Sony's cd-rom hosts. In this way, Nintendo worked hard to promote the hosts, but Sony may have been picking the peaches.

After Nintendo discovered Sony's wolfish ambitions, he immediately took advantage of a loophole in the contract to terminate his cooperation with Sony. But despite this, it was too late.

In recent years of cooperation, Sony has figured out the rules of console research and development and market operation mode, and has also contacted many game dealers.

So even though there is no Nintendo, Sony also launched its own game console last year - play-station, one of the world's highest-selling game consoles.

...

Don’t forget the past, and the teacher of the future.

I don’t want to be Nintendo and I’m fooled by Sony again.

The contract must be tightly grasped, and Sony must never take advantage of it.

After all, this time, the profit involved was tens of billions of dollars, and it was impossible to be careless.

Moreover, he repeatedly emphasized that Sony must not speak out before the contract is officially signed, claiming to support mmcd in the summer, otherwise the cooperation will be directly ended.

Xia Tian made this request mainly because he was worried that Sony would take action first and then report.

Once it promotes its support for mmcd, Toshiba's SD camp will immediately collapse.

After all, summer is too high, and he can stand the energy of three Hollywood giants and a high-tech giant alone.

Moreover, in the SD format, the most critical double-skin technology is the patent of Tianxia Technology. If you withdraw from the SD camp in the summer, you will definitely not give the patent to the SD again. In this way, the SD format will be difficult to compatible with the CD format, so the promotion will be much more difficult.

So by then, many film companies and electronic companies will turn to support Sony's mmcd.

By then, Sony will receive support from a large number of allies, and even if there is no summer, its territory will be settled. Naturally, there will be no need to give summer any benefits, and summer will be a big loss.

So he repeatedly insisted that Sony could not leak the news of the cooperation between the two parties. As long as there was a little news outside, their cooperation would be suspended.

Sheng Dianshaofu had the idea of ​​making a fuss, so he tricked Xia Tian first and coaxed him to say words to support mmcd to disintegrate the Toshiba-Warner camp.

At that time, he will take the opportunity to gain support from a large number of allies. Then he will get rid of summer. In this way, he will not have to pay a penny of benefits. He can grab the market by just saying a few cheap words.

This plan is perfect!

But now Xia Tian said this, making it impossible for him to carry out this plan, so he could only honestly cooperate with Xia Tian. Although doing this will cost a lot of blood, if mmcd can really unify the world, then it is worth it.

Moreover, in order to avoid the leak of news, which led to the suspension of cooperation in summer, Sheng Dianshaofu had to rack his brains to think of confidentiality measures.

So, the negotiators of the two companies went to a small island in the South Pacific to negotiate together. There were few islanders there, and the communication methods were backward, so the spies could not get in and the news could not be heard.
Chapter completed!
