For the first time Creative Labs CEO Sim Wong Hoo reveals it all!
00:00 - 00:05 | Let me lay it all out on the table for you! |
00:05 - 00:07 | I was fappin one day and it came to me |
00:07 - 00:10 | Why not just copy the Adlib soundcard... |
00:11 - 00:16 | Make a few hardware changes around the guts |
00:17 - 00:21 | and sell it for half as much! |
00:21 - 00:24 | So we did |
00:29 - 00:31 | we did! |
00:31 - 00:34 | We cloned Adlib and resold it for half the price! |
00:38 - 00:40 | we did! |
00:41 - 00:47 | You know what the best part is though? We used the cheapest parts I could find |
00:47 - 00:50 | copied the design with off the shelf parts from radio shack |
00:50 - 00:56 | and it drove them completely out of business! |
00:58 - 00:59 | totally out of business! |
00:59 - 01:01 | they never saw it coming! |
01:04 - 01:06 | You should have seen |
01:06 - 01:08 | the look on their faces! |
01:13 - 01:14 | because.. |
01:14 - 01:16 | The card was 100% compatible with Adlib |
01:16 - 01:20 | so nobody bought theirs anymore. |
01:21 - 01:27 | I was selling cards every four minutes to their own customers! |
01:35 - 01:36 | Right beside their booth |
01:36 - 01:39 | we sold right beside them! bankrupted them! |
01:41 - 01:44 | Then I had an epiphany...if I could do this to Adlib |
01:44 - 01:47 | why not other companies too? |
01:47 - 01:49 | I could copy all their designs |
01:50 - 01:53 | and bankrupt them all! |
01:54 - 01:56 | so I did |
01:56 - 01:58 | I copied many other companies products |
01:58 - 02:02 | and sold them as my own, making myself rich! |
02:05 - 02:07 | and so... |
02:10 - 02:11 | and then |
02:11 - 02:13 | and then! |
02:15 - 02:17 | when they complained that I copied them |
02:17 - 02:20 | I took them to court and sued the pants off them! |
02:21 - 02:28 | I told the Judge that they violated my patent rights, the stupid Judge bought it and I won everytime! |
02:29 - 02:30 | Everytime? |
02:30 - 02:32 | I won everytime! |
02:36 - 02:39 | They then had to pay me for damages! |
02:40 - 02:42 | and thats not even the best part... |
02:50 - 02:55 | there was some small competition later on though |
02:56 - 02:58 | you said had some competition? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Some companies tried to compete with us with 3D audio, but they were really no threat by then |
03:04 - 03:09 | I had so much money I just litigated them through the courts like before |
03:09 - 03:11 | they never stood a chance |
03:16 - 03:20 | bankrupted them all too! |
03:23 - 03:26 | Then I bought out the dead companies for pennies |
03:31 - 03:36 | I make all my money now suing others for patent infringment! |
