Chapter 592 【Start first is the strongest! 】

  After New Year's Day in 1977, Wu Guangyao came to the Sony Building in Ginza, Tokyo.

  Lenovo Group has two buildings in Ginza, Lenovo Building and Sony Building. It is the only electronics company that owns two buildings in Ginza.

  Every time he comes to Ginza, Wu Guangyao thinks of the Rockefeller Center in the United States;

  Rockefeller Center is a complex of 19 commercial buildings, and the ground floor of each building is connected;

  The main building is 260 meters high and has 70 floors. On the top of the building is the famous viewing platform, which gives you a bird's eye view of Manhattan.

  It is important that these landmark buildings in the United States are all financial products and can be sold;

  Previous Mitsubishi Group bought 80% of the Rockefeller Center after the "Plaza Agreement", taking advantage of the sharp appreciation of the yen (double the appreciation, the price of foreign goods is equivalent to a discount!);

  In the end, because of the domestic economic bubble in Japan, Rockefeller was sold to the Americans, but it at least shows that there is something wrong.

  I came to my own office, and soon a beautiful Japanese female employee started to be busy. This is Wu Guangyao’s secretary at Sony, Miko;

  However, Wu Guangyao does not admit that she is his secretary because he has nothing to do!

  Miko looked for tea sets and tea leaves in the cabinet. These two things may be a little low, so Miko’s hips were raised high, and the uniform skirt was instantly unwrinkled, and seemed to have a tendency to collapse;

  At the same time, she didn't know what Miko thought, she straightened her legs so hard, the skirt rose about 20 cm in an instant, and her long legs in black silk were instantly visible.

  Wu Guangyao’s vision is not directly facing, but has some angles;

  So, when Miko climbed her waist to take something, the two lanterns on her chest were instantly hung up high.

  Looking at the secretary who was protruding backwards, Wu Guangyao fell into a short-term brain death, until Miko turned around and the two looked at each other;

   "Ahem, Miko, why is the tea in the water so slow, and the mouth is a little dry!" Wu Guangyao started to speak out.

  The mouth is really dry!

  Miko panicked, and the tea set in her hand was almost unstable. The boss, who has always been very talkative, actually criticized herself today!

  "Chairman, good soon!" Miko said quickly.

  Miko put the tea set and tea leaves on the coffee table, then calmed down a bit, sat on the sofa and started to make tea;

  Wu Guangyao’s gaze was once again attracted by Miko, the sofa is very short, and Miko is wearing a skirt;

  Open the legs, naturally forming a wide open door, and the depths are dark and mysterious.

  Miko was making tea while thinking in her heart, whether the president will be dissatisfied with herself and fire herself!

  At the thought of this, Miko panicked in her heart. This hard-won job and fierce competition are comparable to Sony’s high-level selection!

  I was finally valued by President Haruko. As the secretary of the chairman, I can’t lose my job!

  Miko knows that if he has been in this position for a few years, even if he is transferred, he will at least be a middle-level leader;

  But I have only been working for a year. If I am transferred, I must be demoted. It would be nice to be a small manager, and even more terrifying is an ordinary employee.

   Thinking of this, Miko looked up at Wu Guangyao, and found that the president's eyes were looking at herself;

   "Ah!" Miko couldn't help calling out in her heart!

  Is the president considering whether he can be qualified for this position?

  Miao Renfeng, wrong!

  Wu Guangyao withdrew his gaze, seeing Meizi's panic expression, couldn't help frowning;

  I can’t see it for myself?

  How can there be such a secretary, just look at it for yourself, and have no idea, you panic like this?

  If you accidentally bump into it, don’t you want to sue yourself for sexual harassment?

  Thinking of this, Wu Guangyao couldn't help sweating!

  This secretary can’t stay!

  A few years ago, a Chinese capitalist surnamed Yang was in the United States and was sued for sexual harassment by a white aunt Xu Laofengniang and grandmother;

  Length is provoking a show!

  In the United States, in this case, the boss basically lost money!

  Because you have no clear evidence that you did not harass, the law will protect women!

  Retracted his gaze, Wu Guangyao became serious!

  Not allowed to stay!

  Miko never thought that things would develop like this.

  After a ten-minute rest, Akio Morita came to Wu Guangyao’s office.

   "President!"

   "Well, sit down!"

   Akio Morita sat on the sofa respectfully, and he could not see that he was an entrepreneur whom Americans respect.

  "As far as I know, Nintendo should release a TV game console this year!"

   Wu Guangyao’s words made Akio Morita a little puzzled, because there are close to ten TV game consoles in the Japanese market;

  Nintendo is even more anonymous, an ‘electronic toy dealer’ that has not yet released a product.

   "President, I have been watching Nintendo for the past two years, but I haven't found anything special?"

  Wu Guangyao nodded. At this time, Nintendo has not yet entered the field of TV game consoles, and it is still an electronic toy manufacturer. Morita Akio will naturally not find anomalies.

  "Well, then leave him alone! But I want to clear out some low-level players in Japan through a big price cut!"

   Still this trick!

  Unhappy after trying!

Akio Morita pondered for a moment, and said: "Currently, game consoles in the Japanese market are basically between 20,000 and 30,000 yen. If this strategy is to be implemented, the price must be at least between 10,000 and 20,000 yen. We. Sony’s second-generation semi-game console is preparing to go on sale. Its cost price is 12,000 yen. It was originally planned to sell for 20,000 yen in Japan."

  Wu Guangyao thought about it, this cost price surprised Wu Guangyao, it was too high!

  Sony has a large number of factories in Hong Kong, as well as many parts suppliers, and the cost is so high.

  "Reasonable price is a necessary means of late-competition! President Morita, a classic game console, his price should not be higher than 15,000 yen."

   Akio Morita smiled bitterly: "Our R&D costs are too high, 20% higher than other companies’ R&D costs! Of course, the later costs will gradually decrease, and it is estimated that one unit can be built at 10,000 yen."

I see!

  This is understandable!

  "President Shengtian, if you sell the memory chip business of Lenovo Electronics to Xiaomi Electronics, what do you think?"

  Xiaomi Electronics is a joint venture between Wu Guangyao and Lenovo Electronics. Wu Guangyao personally holds 80% of the shares and Lenovo holds 20%.

Akio Morita pondered, and after a moment, he said: "Chairman, your idea is not wrong. Hong Kong production can indeed reduce costs. However, there is government support for memory chips in Japan. Once they are transferred to Xiaomi Electronics, I am afraid they will not be able to enjoy them! I My suggestion is that Xiaomi Electronics also enters this field at the same time, with technical support from Lenovo Electronics, and implements the generation processing model. Of course, Xiaomi Electronics can also enter this field, but it should start with low-end memory chips, such as 8KB and 16KB Memory chip."

  Currently, 64KB of DRAM has appeared in the world, and Lenovo Electronics is about to implement mass production.

   Morita Akio’s words made Wu Guangyao think about it. Obviously, Xiaomi Electronics is not strong enough to enter the global battle for memory;

  Starting from the low-end first, it's also a good plan!

  The key is that at this time the United States is already the king of the memory chip field, and a number of electronics companies in Japan are still sharpening their swords;

  In the first half of the 1970s, the dominant memory chip was Intel, but the second half belonged to Mostek, a company founded by engineers from the semiconductor pioneer Texas Instruments (TI). With 4kb and 16kb DRAM, Mostek expanded its market share to more than 80% in the late 1970s.

  In 1978, four Mostek employees left and founded Micron in a basement. Their first design order was for 64kb DRAM for Mostek, which opened the 64KB era.

  In the field of technology, Lenovo Electronics is no different from the United States, and even with the support of the Japanese government and a large number of scientific researchers in Japan, it can completely lead the way in technology.

  In the original history, Japan's DRAM industry was dominated in the 1980s, while South Korea's DRAM industry developed after the Plaza Accord.

  In this life, because Wu Guangyao formulated Lenovo Electronics to vigorously develop memory chips three years ago, and then persuaded the Japanese government to support the Japanese memory chip industry;

The purpose of    is self-evident, that is, to seize the market of American electronics companies and even squeeze out American manufacturers in this field.

  The Japanese government is naturally willing. After all, Lenovo once led Japan Electric to defeat the United States. Over the years, Japan does not know how much profit it has gained and how many jobs it has solved.

   "Well, what you said is right! Memory chips have to be developed in Japan, which is more advantageous!"

   Seeing Wu Guangyao agreed with his opinion, Akio Morita breathed a sigh of relief;

   Akio Morita also knows that Hong Kong is the president’s base camp, and the president wants to develop the electronics industry in Hong Kong;

  Lenovo’s senior officials have no opinion on this kind of thinking. After all, Lenovo’s positioning is a multinational enterprise;

  It is also produced in Hong Kong, which is cheaper than production in Japan!

   Then, back to the original topic;

  Wu Guangyao said: "How many games are included in the second-generation semi-console of Sony?"

   Akio Morita replied: "There are 18 games in total! Six of them are the outlines you gave, and they are also the signatures of these 18 games."

Wu Guangyao nodded. The 6 games he gave are "Space War", "Little Bee", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong", "Tank Battle", and "Hong Kong Cube". They are basically the most classic games in the 1970s on the Internet. .

Wu Guangyao thought for a while and said: "In this way, you instruct the technicians to deliberately reduce the 9 game selection buttons of the Sony second-generation semi-console, and sell them first at 9,600 yen. The low-cost and high-quality game console will be well received by the market. After the market evoked repercussions, we released 18 more versions of the game, which were listed at a price of 15,000 yen. The two products lost one profit, but in the end we will find that more people will buy 18 games, and we naturally do. Can make money!"

   Akio Morita admires the boss’s idea a little bit. If he does this trick, it will make many competitors feel desperate;

  Japan is not the focus of Lenovo Electric’s profitability, but North America and Europe are;

  But there are many competitors in Japan, so you have to beat them from time to time.

  "I will formulate a strategy immediately, and at the same time, I will coordinate all departments as soon as possible to reduce production costs!"

  Wu Guangyao nodded, there is only so much he can do. If he can no longer dominate the video game industry, it means that these high-level leaders are not enough!

  Previous life, the operation method of removing 6 of the 15 game selection buttons is a key battle for Nintendo to enter the TV game;

  With this method, Nintendo sold more than 1 million game consoles in one fell swoop.

  So, Wu Guangyao took the initiative to make Nintendo's path narrower and narrower.

  After a while, Jing Shenda also rushed from the R&D center to Wu Guangyao's office.

  The two original founders of Sony have long been conquered by Wu Guangyao. These years, they have led the Lenovo Group to conquer things and establish immortal feats.

   "I'm calling you here this time, because there are two top-secret projects to explain, I hope you will pay attention to it!" Wu Guangyao said.

  The two of them were shocked, and the chairman attached such importance, that must be the general direction of the company.

  From Trinitron TV, video games, walkmans, etc., these are the first ones proposed by the president;

  It is precisely by these that Lenovo Group has surpassed Panasonic step by step, leading all electrical and electronic companies in Japan.

  "President, please say, we will strictly implement it and successfully complete your plan!" The two said almost at the same time.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "In the field of parts, memory chips, LCD monitors, and lithium batteries are the core development projects of our Lenovo Group. But do you know that LCD screens can be used as TV monitors, and I expect that within 20 years , LCD TVs will gradually replace CRT TVs."

  After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, the two fell silent for a while;

  Currently, the LCD screen can only be divided into a small piece, about the size of the calculator screen;

  The larger the size of the LCD screen is, the more difficult it is to cut, and the yield rate is also difficult to guarantee.

  Fortunately, the president said 20 years, otherwise the two would really refute it!

  Jing Shen’s big eyes are full of incredible, after all, although Trinitron was proposed by Wu Guangyao, it was invented by him led by the R&D team;

  So, this is a sense of honor!

  "Chairman, although I don't know the future of liquid crystal displays; but once we go in the wrong direction, the advantages ahead will be lost!" Jing Shenda said seriously.

  It’s true, investing a huge amount of money to develop LCD TVs. Once the direction is wrong and Trinitron’s patented technology expires, others will catch up.

  Wu Guangyao said solemnly: "Trinitron technology is like our book of merit. We are now sitting on the book of merit and enjoying our achievements without serious consideration of the development of the times."

When the two heard that Wu Guangyao became serious, they didn't dare to refute it!

Wu Guangyao continued: "I did not say that I will invest huge sums of money to research and develop this project immediately, but we only need to understand that this is the future trend. Therefore, we must invest more research and development funds on LCD screens. In the future, LCD TVs, LCDs Computer displays are all trends; and at present, LCD screens can also be used on computers, handheld game consoles, etc."

  The two finally wanted to understand at the last moment, the boss gave a very long-term development direction, but now it is necessary to lay a solid foundation.

"President rest assured! Next, we will invest more funds and energy to research and develop the LCD industry; as for the LCD TVs and LCD computer screens you mentioned, they will be kept in our hearts like seeds." Jing Shenda is modest. Said.

  Wu Guangyao nodded. Any project has a long time for research and development. I proposed it today, just to sound the alarm for the two;

  This is the case in the previous life, Sony is lying on the Trinitron technology and enjoying this credit;

  At the end of the LCD TV era, Sony found that it was OUT.

Then, Wu Guangyao looked serious and said, “It’s time to develop our third-generation game console. This time, we want to maximize the performance of the hardware. After the product is released, there will not be the same in the market within five years. Products! 8-bit central processing unit, 2KB of memory and video memory, and an image controller that can display 64 colors."

  Hearing Wu Guangyao's words, the two presidents looked solemn, and the requirements of the third-generation game console in all aspects are indeed high!

  "President, is there a requirement for R&D time?" Jing Shenda asked seriously.

   "How long do you think it can be developed?" Wu Guangyao asked rhetorically, as long as it was released before 1982!

  "With our research and development capabilities, up to three years, at least two years!"

   "No, I'll give you three years! This product must have an epoch-making significance, just like our Trinitron technology and Walkman technology, it has become a ‘pronoun’ of Sony"
