Ge Jiande talked about platitudes on the stage. Zhang Ke was impatient and planned to withdraw from the venue with Zhai Danqing.
Huaxia electronics chose to hold the inaugural meeting in Beijing Oriental Culture Hotel. Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing went to the lobby of the hotel to leave.
"Mr. Zhang?"
Standing in the hall, uncertain questions came from behind.
Zhang Ke was not sure if he was shouting at himself. He looked back. A young man in his thirties and fourties was looking at him with his body in his face. It seemed that he was looking for himself, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. They are RB people, with typical RB people's appearance, each too serious and modest.
"Are you calling me?" Zhang Ke turned around and asked suspiciously.
"Ah, I'm Yamamoto of Toshiba," Yamamoto Xianci took out his business card and handed it respectfully. "I heard Mr. Mori of the audio-visual Department mention you. I didn't expect to meet you unexpectedly here..."
"Oh, it's vice president Yamamoto," Zhang Ke put away his business card and shook hands with hyunji Yamamoto, vice president of Toshiba in China. "It's a surprise. I didn't expect to meet you here. I heard Mr. Mori mention you last time and planned to go back to the country to visit you and make a difference to many things. I haven't taken the time..."
Zhai Danqing knows that Zhang Ke's words are for ghosts. She hasn't heard Zhang Ke mention the name of Yamamoto Xianci before.
"Mr. Mori arrived in Beijing last night. I must have contacted your office in Beijing today. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhang here first..." Yamamoto said, "it's convenient to tell Mr. Mori that I met Mr. Zhang here?"
"Sen Shanjun came to China specially to contact Jinhu?" Zhang Ke asked.
"It seems so, I'm not sure..." Yamamoto said.
"In that case, I would like to make a local friendship during my stay in Beijing. I would also like to trouble vice president Yamamoto to contact Mr. Mori..."
Yamamoto stepped aside and took out his mobile phone to contact Toshiba's Assistant Minister of electronic audio-visual affairs, moriyamano.
Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing went to the rest area of the hotel lobby and sat down. They whispered to Zhai Danqing, "I thought Toshiba had forgotten this..."
Zhai Danqing knows that Zhang Ke means iPlayer, or DMP digital audio player.
After Toshiba's audio-visual product affairs department director Gangcun Mu and assistant moriyamano's visit to IDA in Japan were published by RB media, Toshiba issued an avoidance statement to avoid the criticism of Rb peers, especially under the pressure from Mitsui chaebol, and the negotiation with Jinhu on the technical authorization of DMP digital audio player was suspended.
For the past two months, Toshiba has not had any contact on this matter. It thought that Toshiba had completely given up its efforts to obtain DMP playback technology.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang," said Kenji Yamamoto, who liked to use honorific words and talked to Yoshino moriyamano on the phone. "Yoshino moriyamamoto is on his way to your company's office in Beijing. He asked me to ask you if he could have the opportunity to visit you at this time?"
Zhang Ke's visit to Beijing this time is to inquire about the development trend of the central high-level on the information industry. There are no other arrangements except the meeting with Xu Xueping yesterday and Yi Yunfei in the morning.
The cooperation with Toshiba and the flash memory technology in Toshiba's hands have been coveted by Jinhu for a long time. Since people are in Beijing, it's OK to contact moriyamano in person.
Zhang Ke nodded and agreed. Yamamoto Xianci stepped aside to make a phone call with moriyamano. Zhang Ke asked Zhai Danqing to call Zhou Yiping, the person in charge of Beijing Branch, and asked him to come by. After all, formal negotiations should be started. There should also be people opposite moriyamano on the side of Jinhu to be responsible for relevant matters.
Zhang Ke and Yamamoto sat in the rest area of the hotel lobby waiting for moriyamano to come. At this time, the press conference in the hall in the north of the lobby was over, and the media reporters withdrew one after another. Huaxia electronics also prepared a rich dinner for them in the hotel.
Lee Jae soo and his assistant Kim Nam Yong went to the lobby to take a breath. Seeing that hyunji Yamamoto of Toshiba was sitting with Zhang Ke and talking intimately, he was a little surprised. Seeing that hyunji Yamamoto stood up and greeted him eagerly, he was inconvenient to turn around and leave. He had to go over with Kim Nam Yong.
"Do you know Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Zhang of Jinhu?"
"Moriyama once told me that Mr. Zhang is the godfather of China's consumer electronics industry. How can I not know him?" Yamamoto joked.
Zhang Ke calmly looks at Li zaixu, a specialist of Hg Samsung in China. He doesn't know what association he will have when he sees himself standing with Kenji Yamamoto of Toshiba in China.
Li zaixu was calm on his face, but he was not calm in his heart.
For the DMP Technology launched by Jinhu and Deyi, someone inside Samsung Electronics once put forward a similar idea. Due to the Asian financial storm, the idea was not paid attention to. When Li Zaizhu saw that Jinhu wanted to actively promote the development of relevant technologies after purchasing online music stores in Japan, he found that the application technology of the combination of flash memory technology and digital audio had almost been thoroughly studied by Jinhu, This is the patent situation that has been disclosed before 18 months. As for several major breakthroughs made by Jinhu even in flash memory control chip technology and embedded flash memory driver chip technology, it is impossible to know the specific details. Toshiba spent a lot of effort in developing reliable flash memory control chip technology in 1997. The products originally developed by Samsung in only three or five months may not succeed if it takes ten times as much manpower to bypass the patent of Jinhu. Lee Jae soo can confirm that Jinhu has been preparing for DMP technology for a long time. How can he be calm when he sees Zhang Ke again?
This epoch-making consumer electronics product is likely to promote flash memory technology in the world and greatly promote the process of large-scale commercial application of flash memory technology. However, in the past three months, Jinhu has produced DMP products including iPlayer and has not purchased any flash memory products from Samsung.
At present, only Samsung, Toshiba and Intel have nonvolatile flash memory technology. Because Intel has focused on the development of processor technology in recent ten years, it has insufficient investment in the R & D of flash memory technology. At present, the flash memory technology of Samsung and Toshiba is more advanced.
In 1998, the storage of flash memory technology was extremely limited and expensive. In addition to seeing market prospects in portable electronic products, its application in other fields was extremely limited; All DMP player products including iPlayer are the first large-scale commercial application of flash memory technology.
Toshiba's flash memory products are still used in the existing DMP products on the market. At this time, DMP has just been launched. If DMP is popular, Jinhu will determine who can obtain a decisive advantage in the early stage of large-scale commercial application of flash memory technology by Samsung, Toshiba and Intel.
Although he has always looked down on Jinhu, at this time, Li Zaizhu had to admit that Jinhu has something in hand that makes Samsung worry about gain and loss.
Since the iPlayer of Jinhu and the DMP player products OEM for other electronic manufacturers use Toshiba's flash memory technology, Li zaizu was not particularly surprised to see Zhang Ke standing with Toshiba's vice president in China, Kenji Yamamoto. When he saw moriyamano of Toshiba's audio-visual affairs department walking into the hall and coming to them, Recalling the previous rumors that Toshiba is interested in purchasing DMP products and technologies from Jinhu, it is not groundless. The addition of Toshiba will enable DMP technology to be promoted more quickly in the world. Naturally, Toshiba will tend to promote their flash memory technology?
Li zaixu's face showed a worried look.
"I haven't seen Mr. Zhang's style for two months after Tokyo's departure." moriyamano didn't pass Yamamoto's translation. Instead, he directly greeted Zhang Ke in Japanese and nodded to Li zaixu. "Li Jun is also here..." seeing the banner celebrating the founding of Huaxia electronics hung in the lobby of the Hotel, he suddenly said, "Li Jun is here to attend the founding conference of Huaxia electronics."
In order to threaten Toshiba with Samsung, Zhang Ke doesn't want moriyamano and Yamamoto to see that he has a deep personal grudge with Li Zaizhu.
"It's rare for me to meet you in Beijing. Can you let me be the host to fulfill the friendship of the host?" Zhang Ke invited Li Zaizhu and Jin nanyong, as if he had completely forgotten throwing hot tea on Li Zaizhu's face and slapping Jin nanyong half a year ago.
Li zaixu's face is not calm, or Jin nanyong knows to bear it more. When others don't pay attention, he gently pulls Li zaixu's sleeve. For the interests of Samsung, personal gratitude and resentment are nothing. Instead of mindlessly speculating about the relationship between Jinhu and Toshiba, it's better to bear this tone and observe the words and colors together to see more things.
In fact, moriyamano saw Zhang Ke and Li Xinyu walking together very closely at the Tokyo electronics exhibition, and even thought that Jinhu had a good relationship with Samsung. Zhang Ke invited Li Zaizhu to the banquet together. Naturally, he couldn't express any opinion.
After Zhou Yiping, the person in charge of the Beijing Branch, arrived, Zhang Ke invited moriyamano, Yamamoto Xianci, Li Zaizhu, Jin nanyong and others to leave Huaxia electronics and drive to the nearby wangfujing hotel for dinner.
At the same time, the banquet for the inaugural meeting of Huaxia electronics is also being prepared. Ge Jiande is eagerly greeting those distinguished guests, especially the representatives of overseas electronics manufacturers in China. Suddenly someone ran over and told him: "the guests of Samsung and Toshiba withdrew and left..."
"Why?" Ge Jiande and Keiichi Watanabe, President of Sony in China, were standing together to exchange greetings and subconsciously asked.
"Zhou Yiping of IDA electronics just came here, and representatives of Samsung and Toshiba left the hotel with Monday Ping..." the man didn't know Zhang Ke, but he knew Monday Ping, who represented Jinhu in Beijing's public relations and handled various affairs.
Ge Jiande's face became gloomy. At the founding reception of Huaxia electronics, people from Jinhu ran over and took away the guests he attached great importance to for no reason. He really wouldn't be in a good mood.
