"How about I come and have a look. I've seen them fiddled with them in the electronic market."

Lin Yi's stupidity towards Guan Ping can no longer be expressed in words.

Under the crowd's attention, Lin Yi squatted over and studied the buttons in a decent manner.

I touched the east and west, but I estimated the time in my heart, and felt that I could not be too straightforward, but I could not let them wait for a long time.

Suddenly, a whoosh popped up, then he looked at the CD with his middle finger, and accidentally flipped it in and pushed it in. After a while, an image appeared on the TV.

Looking at the subtitles, Lin Yi smiled and pointed, saying, "Yes, there is."

At this time, what was played inside was the "Faith of Destiny" that Lin Yi was more familiar with.

"Faith of Destiny" is the first batch of Hollywood blockbusters introduced in China. This film is different from the love and comedy humor elements of domestic movies.

The wonderful action and exciting plot left a deep impression on many viewers at that time.

Perhaps Lin Yi still remembers the plot vaguely:

Doctor Kim Bo's wife was killed, and Kim Bo became a major murder suspect.

Jin Bao once discovered that a man with a prosthetic limb was snatching the door from his home, but he could not prove it all.

The judge and the jury found Jin Bao guilty and sentenced him to death. On the way to escort Jin Bao and others to prison, the prisoner in the same car attempted to jail. The driver was beaten to death and the prison car overturned on the rails.

A train roared over, and at the critical moment, Jin Bao jumped out of the car and fled.

…

When I saw something new for the first time, the people in the living room were all focused and even put their meals aside.

Lin Yi glanced at everyone, continued to pick up the rice bowl on the table, and held the dishes, and watched while eating.

I was a little distracted when watching the movie, but when I was halfway through, some immature thoughts suddenly came into my mind.

They are like ghosts, swaying around and stirring up the uneasy heart.

Good things are always easy to kill time. Before Lin Yi could figure it out, an hour or two had passed in a blink of an eye.

"Wonderful!"

Yang Hua patted his thighs and applauded with unfulfilled feelings.

This shout woke Lin Yi, who was immersed in his thought world, and looked up and it turned out that the movie was over.

"Good-looking." Guan Ping also commented, simple and powerful, with a smile on his face cut, and there was a hint of yearning in his smile.

Although the couple didn't say anything, their happy expressions could not hide the satisfaction of the moment.

Especially Yang Juan, whose eyes were lit, looked at the VCD, and she wanted to speak but stopped several times...

…

This night, Lin Yi couldn't sleep.

After tossing and turning for a while, Lin Yi, who felt something wrong with his hands, simply sat up halfway.

I opened the curtains boredly, leaned against the wall and watched the night view of the deep city with the flashing neon lights, slowly fell into deep thought again.

When I was a child, I had many ideals. I thought about being a scientist, painter, or astronaut, but later it was slowly corrected by social reality.

He seizes every opportunity he has, just like Xu Sanduo in the "Soldier Assault", he regards every opportunity as a life-saving straw and holds it firmly in his hands.

And when he was reborn and stayed in that small mountain village, he was always a little confused, and he also seized whatever opportunities he encountered.

For example, I accidentally saw a golden bachelor from the sixth group of the production team picking cow dung and planting it in the spring, and I remembered the input of ginger.

For example, when reviewing homework, I flipped through the tutoring book I bought from a roadside stall and looked at the pirated printing on the pages, and felt impatient, and then I thought of opening a bookstore again.

But these are not long-term careers that suit your own wishes, because their limits are there.

Lin Yi knew that living for a lifetime would not be able to live without ideals and goals.

When farming is busy with farming, the farmers in the countryside pay attention to meticulous farming, so that their harvests are better than others, let alone themselves.

Moreover, in my previous life, I was also the center director of a large company. Although I was only responsible for publicity and distribution, I was at the bottom among a group of managers. But I barely entered the career threshold of senior executives, and it was very difficult to go all the way.

But Lin Yi also knows that many things are not something you can do just by doing.

Just like all young people want to be outstanding. After some hard work, there may be many outstanding people, but not everyone can excel. Most people have become "categories" rather than "extra".

In this struggle, there are ideals, backgrounds of the times, and some chances and luck, and finally it is possible to form a foundation.

However, when I saw the VCD tonight, Lin Yi felt that he had a chance and the background of the times was very good. The rest depends on hard work and luck.

…

When I thought of VCD, I couldn't help but think of the two Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yan.

In September 1993, they applied MPEG (image decompression) technology to audio-visual products and successfully developed a new high-quality and low-cost audio-visual product. This is the world's first VCD.

At that time, in the VCD feasibility report of the Anhui Modern Television Technology Institute in 1993, there was a description: This is the only opportunity that China may lead in the consumer electronics field at the end of this century.

Based on this, Wan Yan's start-up was successful and brilliant. However, Wan Yan, who was not well-behaved, also brewed a glass of bitter wine for himself.

What made Jiang Wanmeng sad was that most of the first batch of 1,000 VCD machines launched by Wan Yan were bought by various electronic companies at home and abroad to make prototypes and became the subject of dissection.

The most fatal thing is that they don’t know whether they are careless, self-righteous, or weak-minded, and actually give up their patent application.

With the leakage of production technology, it was like a waste of time and making wedding dresses for others.

What’s even more speechless is that Wan Yan invested 16 million US dollars in the early research and development and 20 million RMB in advertising.

Tens of thousands of VCDs produced a year, but only 20,000 were sold.

The reason for this result is that too much investment in the early stage leads to the cost of early products as high as US$360 per unit. In addition to advertising costs, each VCD is sold for 4,000 to 5,000 yuan on the market, but there is basically no profit to make.

Not only that, we also need to develop discs. Wan Yan purchased copyrights from 11 audio-visual publishing houses and launched 97 types of karaoke discs.

It can be said that he paid a huge amount of money but did not make any money, and he didn't even get the money back.

By 1995, when pirated CDs and VCDs appeared in large numbers in coastal towns in China.

They are powerless to make up for the situation. They have no reward for their investment in the early stage, and they will inevitably suffer from drag, just like a cripple who is destined to fall behind on the runway.

Until it slowly disappears from people's vision.

Of course, the defeat of Wan Yan does not mean the end of VCD. On the contrary, it became a miracle in the 1990s, creating a group of people and a group of companies.

The most typical ones are Aido VCD and its founder Boss Hu.

Speaking of Boss Hu, who was a repairman, he had to say that he was powerful. At the age of 24 or 25, he used his junior high school education to borrow 50,000 yuan as starting funds, but he broke out into a road of ​​Tiantian.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's suspended heart seemed to be much closer to the ground.

The question is how to do it, is this a long-lasting problem?

If you want connections, you have no connections, you have no money, and you don’t even have a skilled person around you.

After calculating for the middle of the night, I couldn’t get a perfect answer while struggling. Finally, I fell asleep when I was sleepy.

The next day, Lin Yi gave the remaining 18,000 yuan to Yang Hua.

Although others are good to you and trust yourself, you cannot be without enlightenment in life. This is Lin Yi’s principle of dealing with things.

"How much do you have left?" Yang Hua weighed the money in his hand and looked up at him.

"I owe you 42,000 yuan, and I borrow 20,000 yuan from the bank. The cost of bookcases and books is probably about 13,000 yuan."

"This time the purchase was about 13,500 yuan, which in turn exceeded the standard by 6,000 yuan."

Lin Yi actually didn't want to settle the score, because he knew that except for the first seven thousand, he basically made a fortune.

I owe 62,000 yuan in debt, tsk, 62,000 yuan in 1994 is scary enough.

The main reason is that I am a little greedy, and the first batch of types and quantities are relatively large.

But even though I knew it, Lin Yi still did this. Because he had to make a name for himself, otherwise the cycle would gradually progress and he would have no time to spend here.

"It means you are penniless again now?" Listening to Lin Yi's liquidation, Yang Hua smiled unkindly.

Even Guan Ping, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but grin.

"Ha, it's not that everything is difficult at the beginning, but now it's over. Besides, if you sell the ginger, you'll have money again." Lin Yi leaned against the head of the bed, without any haste.

"Awesome, I'm convinced that you owe more than 60,000 yuan and have nothing to do. Are you really a big heart or a hereditary one?

Do you know, my uncle lost more than 3,000 yuan by borrowing money to play cards in 1985, and was later hung up by my parents and uncle." Yang Hua was smoking and gloatingly observing Lin Yi's expression.

"Who paid the money?" Lin Yi didn't know who paid it in his previous life. Anyway, his father couldn't afford it even if he beat him to death.

"You really look at the problem in a different way." Yang Hua vomited a cigarette ring again, sneered, and shook his head again, "Who else can you rely on except for the elder brother and sister? There is such a beautiful aunt who doesn't cherish it, but she's fooling around outside and can't understand it."

"My mom is so beautiful?"

To be honest, I was only over eight years old at that time. So many years have passed, and Lin Yizhen can't remember it so specific.

"You have inherited seven or eight points in appearance, otherwise why would Lin Xuan say that you are the essence of the Lin family? But it's still a little bit of a bad idea."

Speaking of this, Yang Hua hesitated, "Your sister is exquisite, and she is carved from the same mold as my aunt. At that time, my aunt loved to keep it as a daughter, but your sister had hatred for the people here."

"Oh, let's not talk about it. You guys should keep this eight-eight, just pretend to be shocked; don't be embarrassed, your brother Guan and I have made no less money than you."

"In addition, I will pay back the loan early when I go back, otherwise it will be passed to my uncle, the old stubborn man, and I will have to run away first."

Looking at Guan Ping who nodded aside, Lin Yi didn't feel pretentious anymore, "By the way, how did you get the VCD yesterday?"

As soon as Lin Yi said this, Guan Ping and Yang Hua looked at each other, stood up and walked out tacitly.

"Oh, don't leave, I'm of great use." Lin Yi hurriedly spoke.

"What can you do?" Yang Hua turned his head and said, "Closing it out, I'm back."

"It's really useful." Seeing that the two of them ignored him, Lin Yi sat up from the bed.

"Are you serious?" Yang Hua stepped back to him and looked at him.

"I really didn't joke with you, I have it..." Lin Yi planned to tell him a little bit about his preliminary plan to see if he could find several technicians.

"Then I'll joke with you. This was a gold digger stole from the warehouse." Yang Hua left with a serious look that you were useless.
Chapter completed!
