Chapter 1133 – They are not our match even if they join forces

The person on the stage continued to introduce the features of this new phone. For example, battery storage increased again, and users can listen to their songs without worries. The phone also has an earphone jack, and the music quality is better when used with earphones.

This is saying the speakers of this phone are not good. Still, the earphone jack uses Aiwa’s latest technology, and the music will sound better with earphones.

The battery in this phone is also using the latest technology from Tai Hua Battery. Currently, this phone’s battery is the best in the world.

Also, with a TF card, this phone can store more phone numbers and messages. Most phones’ internal storage is small and is insufficient. But now, users can move the numbers and messages to the external TF card.

The TF card is more shocking to the manufacturers than the MP3 function and colored screen upgrades.

This is setting the standard. All phones in the future must have external storage card readers. The manufacturers can catch up with other technologies. Still, the patent for this TF card reader must be owned by Wind and Rain Mobile. If the manufacturers had to work around the patent and developed their own, they must invest in high development funds. Even so, they might also not succeed.

After all, Wind and Rain Mobile’s development team is also developing newer technologies when other manufacturers are working on their own external storage cards. Wind and Rain Mobile had walked this path earlier than the rest and have advantages over them.

There are many uses for the flash drive, and Feng Yu instructed his development team to focus on three areas. MP3, USB drive, and TF cards. Although there are more uses, Feng Yu felt these three areas are enough. USB drive technologies will be developed into the portable hard disk, and Feng Yu does not know what comes after that.

Feng Yu can only remember these things. MP3 storage is similar to a USB drive, and the idea of a portable hard disk comes from this.

Since flash drive can develop a product like MP3, why can’t it be used on the more complicated PC storage?

MP3 will become MP4 in the future, and Feng Yu does not want to develop MP5. At that time, he will concentrate on making Tablets.

Feng Yu is pleased to see the shocked expressions on the audience’s faces. He must admit this development team is terrific. He had only told them what he wanted, provided them with funds, and developed the product.

Last year, when Sony introduced their SD cards, Feng Yu was not worried. This because when the TF card is launched, they had also introduced an SD card adapter. Inserting the TF card into the adapter, it can be used on SD card slots.

TF cards can be used on those products with SD card slots. This will make TF cards more versatile.

TF cards can replace SD cards, but SD cards cannot replace TF cards. TF card is much smaller but has the same storage like SD cards. Everyone will know which is the better product at first glance!

SD card is a joint development product by several companies, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sandisk. They thought they could maintain their lead with this little storage card.

But after seeing the tiny TF card on Wind and Rain Mobile’s product launch, they lost confidence.

Those four companies are the big players in the electronics industry, but they were defeated.

They had started developing flash drive technologies much earlier and thought they can be leading the world. But they were shocked by the appearances of MP3 and USB drive.

A Chinese company had developed this product earlier than them, and this product is selling well. Just the patent authorization fees had let this company make tons of money.

The representatives from these four companies were even more shocked by this tiny TF card.

When the person on the stage is still introducing the phone, the representatives from these companies had already informed their headquarters about this information.

The earlier the company knows about this, the earlier they can make preparations. If the companies were to continue their research on SD cards, they would lose out to Wind and Rain’s TF cards.

That night, the representatives, who had bought Wind and Rain Mobile’s latest phone, flew back immediately. They need to bring the phone back for research.

The phone manufacturers can also include those new features into their phones like Wind and Rain Mobile. They can find alternative technologies to replace those patented technologies as no technologies are irreplaceable.

When Aiwa introduced their Flash Drive MP3 player, those companies started to work their way around the registered patents. They developed hard disk MP3 players that have higher storage.

But these MP3 players have a weakness. It is like a CD player, and it is not convenient for consumers to bring them out.

Those companies though consumers, can accept portable CD players’ sizes and accept their MP3 player. This player’s storage is several times higher than Aiwa’s MP3 player.

If this player cannot fit into your pocket, you can keep it in your bag or even use it at home as a home music player.

That night, when Feng Yu and his men were celebrating this product launch’s success, the mobile phone manufacturers around the world had received news of this mobile phone revolution. At least, the storage aspect is revolutionary.

Some manufacturers immediately give up the idea of developing their own technology and contact Wind and Rain Electronics to purchase the authorization rights to this technology. But Wind and Rain Mobile rejected them.

Since TF cards are produced by several brands, including Wind and Rain, Aiwa, AIWA, Philips, and Lenovo, they don’t need any more competitors.

But Wind and Rain Mobile still released the standards for TF card slots for other phone manufacturers to produce phones with TF card slots. But the manufacturers must use the Wind and Rain brand of TF cards. Wind and Rain Mobile will wait until their technology is at least one year ahead of other manufacturers before giving out the authorization rights.

Tai Hua Holdings had discussed it with Philips on the market. Western Europe, including Africa, will belong to Philips, while Eastern Europe, China, and the American markets will be Feng Yu. As for Japan and other Southeast Asia, they will be using the Aiwa brand.

Sony and the other companies looked into Wind and Rain’s TF cards. They knew they cannot make any breakthrough in this technology within a short period. They will need at least a year before they can produce their own TF cards. Luckily for them, they still have SD cards.

But these companies soon realized the TF cards sold in the market come in a set. It includes a USB card reader and an SD card adapter!

The few companies were furious! This is too much!

You all had already eaten half the pie, and you all are trying to take away our pathetic slice of the pie?!

Hmph! We don’t believe we will still lose after we combine forces. It’s just a TF card. We will put in more resources on developing this TF card!

We will not let you have the whole pie!
