Chapter 7 Jiang Yan's Tragedy

"What? Do you want to design an integrated circuit design software?"

Jia Guofang reached out and touched Wang Anran's head, confirming that he did not have a fever.

In Jia Guofang's view, Wang Anran's level is to write some small programs and large-scale comprehensive software, and I'm afraid I haven't seen a few of them.

Wang Anran slapped Jia Guofang's hand away. Oh my god, this hand was probably just squeezing his feet, and he smelled a strange smell from a distance.

"How bold people are, how much property they are, and how unfinished they have, how can you know if you can do it?"

"Okay, Anran, I can't even hit you even if you have this kind of heroism. However, as a brother, I would like to remind you two points: First, are you sure your knowledge reserves can support this project? And the second point is that this software may have at least tens of thousands of lines of code, and can you complete it independently by yourself?"

Wang Anran nodded. The science students were really good. Both points came to the point.

There is no problem with the knowledge reserve, but this code is not tens of thousands of lines.

"To implement basic functions, the code prediction starts with millions of lines..."

"Millions of lines?... Add to the argumentation, debugging, and testing of each paragraph. Do you want to arrange all the work before the age of fifty?"

Just like a person who wants to build a towering building with a huge project volume, it is suffocating to think about it.

"If the entire Qing Dynasty University or the entire Yanjing software talents come to help build this high-rise building, it will only take two or three months at most."

"This is a good idea, but Anran, it's not that easy to organize these people. Do you have an idea? Let's talk about it and we'll study it."

Wang Anran smiled and said, "That's to ask for your help. You are still the president of the C/C language salon association. You really can't be missing."

Wang Anran's plan is very simple. He divides the functions of the software into about 500 design tasks. Each design task stipulates the program's interface protocol and functional requirements, and finally packages it in a unified manner.

"An Ran, I would like to make two suggestions. First, the level of c/c language software enthusiasts in Yanjing is high and low. I suggest that you organize corresponding technical exchanges regularly. During the writing process, you can solve problems together. Second, I suggest that in addition to 500 design teams, you also need 500 auxiliary verification and testing teams. Otherwise, with such a huge software, just looking for a bug is a massive engineering volume."

Wang Anran nodded. These two points are necessary. Of course, through this software outsourcing, Wang Anran also has another purpose, which is to find some excellent software talents, which is a very valuable asset of this era.

Jia Guojian seems to recognize a problem.

"An Ran, why do you say so many people should write software for you?"

Wang Anran put out a finger and shook it in front of Jia Guofang's eyes.

"What's the meaning?"

"Ten thousand yuan, each design task book will give the team a reward of 10,000 yuan, and a deadline of two months. The team leader is required to sign a bet agreement. If it fails to complete, it will be rewarded with another 5,000 yuan for the reward of 10,000 yuan."

Jia Guofang calculated the amount immediately, and then opened his mouth wide.

"Seven and five million, you want to pay seven and five million on this project. Where did you get the money? Anran, we can't do illegal things."

Wang Anran smiled confidently and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way."

Money is not omnipotent, but it can also be done 99% of the time. Nowadays, it is absolutely impossible to have no money. Wang Anran has been thinking about how to get the first pot of gold. Until today, his thinking is still clear.

That is VCD. The world's first VCD DVD player was invented by the Chinese and launched by Hefei Meiling Jiangyan Electronic Engineering Co., Ltd.

The emergence of VCD originated from a coincidence. In April 1992, Jiang Wanjun, then director of Anhui TV, came to the United States to participate in the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition. At this exhibition, Jiang Wanjun had a wonderful encounter with Zhang Yansheng, then chairman of the American C-cube Company.

Jiang Wanjun immediately invested 70,000 US dollars in development. According to the normal historical process, Jiang Yan will launch the finished VCD products in September today, and the first batch of 1,000 VCDs will immediately attract industry attention. Industry giants such as Sony, Philips, JVC, and Panasonic are no exception and have purchased prototypes to study.

The conclusion is that this is a product with great market potential.

There are so many ghosts in the Japanese company. If Jiang Yan registered the patent for the entire vcd solution, they would lose the opportunity to seize the opportunity later.

Toshima Oshima, who was then the president of Panasonic China, realized the possible results and met Zhang Yansheng alone three days later to ensure that front-line manufacturers should work with mpeg-1 format as an international industry standard as a temptation to ask Zhang Yansheng to open the VD market and give up applying for a VD complete machine solution patent.

The mpeg-1 format is a patented product of Zhang Yansheng's company's c-cube. It can become an international standard. It can not only receive huge honors, but also bring huge patent licensing benefits to the c-cube company. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yansheng sold Jiang Yan without hesitation.

At that time, Jiang Yan had absolute technical trust in the American c-cubes. Jiang Yan had no resistance at all and just raised his hand to surrender.

All the Chinese people sighed when they were about to happen next.

No one expected that the VCD market would be worth tens of billions in China alone, because Jiang Yan gave up the patent for the whole machine solution, while Japanese companies such as Panasonic and Sony built super-results in error correction, friendly interaction, embedded accessories and other patent walls in a very short time with their strong R&D capabilities.

Electronic products are chasing new products, and electronic manufacturers such as Bubugao and Pioneer, which are rushing into the VCD market in China, have no choice but to choose Panasonic and Sony's solutions, which require billions of patent licensing fees every year.

Because Jiang Yan has no patents, she can't compete with several low-priced manufacturers in the market, and her continuous R&D capabilities are significantly weaker, which resulted in Japanese companies falling behind one step further, and was eventually acquired by Guangdong Yian Group due to huge losses.

This is where a generation of innovative enterprises come to an end.

C-cube made a lot of money because of the patent authorization of mpege-1, and only Jiang Yan was injured in the end.

In his previous life, Wang Anyran also sympathized with Jiang Yan's experience. He died in the pursuit and interception of European and Japanese giants. Jiang Yan's shortcomings are still technology, and China suffers as well. In terms of technology, Jiang Yan relies heavily on the technical support of the US c-cube. Facts have proved that this is an extremely fragile alliance.

VCD is just the beginning, its resolution is only 352*240, 24~29 frames per second. On ordinary black and white TVs, it means that you can see an image, but it is not of quality. On real-color TVs, you cannot clearly distinguish a person's appearance.

The core of Jiang Yan's solution is an ibm b320 video decoding chip, which has no error correction function, which means that when the disc is damaged, it can only be damaged and killed, affecting the viewing experience. In terms of operation, there are only ordinary fast forward and fast regression, which can be used in simple and simple ways.
