Chapter 128： Toshiba chip

After seeing the Walkman released by Sony in the afternoon, Bao Zixuan knew that Philips would also cut prices next. The Walkman market will be more competitive than in the previous life, and the profits of various manufacturers will decrease accordingly.

In fact, Bao Zixuan was also very conflicted at the time, and he didn't want to authorize the Walkman patent so easily, but if he didn't license the Walkman patent, what else would Heiyun think of these big companies.

The answer is "no", so why do other companies sell patents to you? After comprehensive consideration, it is still necessary to give up this single food, in addition to the constraints of anti-monopoly investigation agencies. In order to get his favorite technology and equipment, Bao Zixuan had to reluctantly give up.

The first day of the exhibition ended after Sony introduced new products. A total of eight companies released new products. However, except for Heiyun, which is a Hong Kong company, the rest are almost divided up by American, RB, and German companies.

This is also a reality, this era is dominated by these three countries in the field of consumer electronics. After returning to the hotel, Yokoi Junpei and Ma Chenglong began to report the order situation of the game company and the home appliance company.

The Black Cloud Razor also made a big splash at this exhibition with its design and technology that surpassed this era. Jackie Ma knows that he will not lose money by jumping to Heiyun, at least for now.

Ma Chenglong said: "Chairman, our two razors from Heiyun performed very well today. At present, Metro of Germany and Wal-Mart of the United States have signed procurement contracts with us. After the exhibition, our razors will be placed here. On the shelves of the two supermarket giants. At the same time, we also signed some small contracts, and we sold more than 200,000 shavers on the first day alone. This made Philips’ new product launch very unsuccessful.”

Philips did not recommend the Walkman as a new product this time, but chose its own strong razor. Unexpectedly, the Black Cloud Razor is stronger than its new product in terms of design and function. It made Philips very depressed, how did it license some basic patents and motor technology of the shaver in the first place!

After Bao Zixuan nodded, he made a please gesture to Yokoi Junpei.

Yokoi Junhei said excitedly: "Our gameboy has now received orders for 3 million units, which is still the result of our restriction that the first batch of customers cannot place too many orders, otherwise it will definitely exceed 5 million units. However, many today did not The customer who signed the contract said that the contract must be signed as soon as possible tomorrow morning. We have no problem selling more than 10 million gameboy handheld game consoles at this exhibition. Your Excellency, President, we have succeeded.”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Gameboy would be so popular. In fact, it's not his fault for underestimating. In the previous life, it sold 20 million units a year after its launch in 1989. At that time, consumers were already very picky. Many classic games have not yet entered the sight of players, game consoles that can be played anytime, anywhere at home, in the car, or in the park. That's something consumers have never thought about before. Heiyun Group can actually help them achieve this, which is why the major agents are desperately ordering.

Bao Zixuan: "What about other games! Yokoi-kun!"

I was so excited that I forgot about it just now. Miyamoto is still developing new games in Xiangjiang. As the general manager of a game company, he only thinks about the gameboy, a product developed by himself, and is indeed not a qualified manager. After all, arcade games are also managed by themselves. Fortunately, I just took a look at the statistics.

Yokoi was hesitant for about a minute. He wanted to recall the data he just saw. Said: "The number of game arcade sales is not particularly ideal. Except for the legend of Senna, which sold 5,000 units, the rest are around 1,500 units."

In fact, Yokoi Junpei was confused by the number of gameboy's starting millions. This is an arcade machine, and it's the first day. Bao Zixuan is very satisfied with this sales volume.

The next morning, the employees of Heiyun Group came to the exhibition hall early, and Bao Zixuan also dressed up today. He wants to give a new introduction to the Black Cloud laptop.

This morning, the Heiyun showroom is still the most popular. Many buyers who did not sign the gameboy purchase contract yesterday came here to start signing contracts with Heiyun Game Company.

A total of two new products were recommended for publicity today. Bao Zixuan was scheduled to appear as the second one, and it was also the last new product to be publicly recommended in the entire exhibition. Then enter the free exchange time between buyers and sellers. The main committee will not arrange for other products to be publicly recommended and explained.

Many people were in the Heiyun showroom, which made the representative of RB Toshiba, who was the first to take the stage today, very depressed. There wasn't a lot of audience in the audience, but it was better than yesterday! This is a kind of balance in disguise!

Toshiba introduced a Japanese processor chip that can be programmed in Japanese. It can be said to be very memorable. If the United States did not suppress Toshiba later, Toshiba could indeed develop better in the field of electronic products.

Other countries can see programming in Japanese, so what about German and French! Don't you have to use English to program! Can any country in the world program in its own language! It can't be reflected now. If once we enter the Internet era, when network security is very famous, then the software written in our own language will be more trusted.

Bao Zixuan knew about this chip in his previous life. As for why it was not popularized, it is directly related to Toshiba's own mistakes. It is also indirectly related to the United States' efforts to suppress the RB software industry.

Toshiba has cooperated with the Soviet Union, and there have been very famous events in history. Bao Zixuan knew that it would happen in a few years.

One late night in the early spring of 1983, the 10,000-ton freighter "Old Communist", which was driven by the Soviet Shipping Company to RB, departed from RB Shibaura Wharf and carried away dozens of boxes of "five-axis CNC machine tools" components. According to the RB people the use of these CNC machine tools by the Soviets not only improved the propulsion performance of the submarine, but also improved the propulsion of the new aircraft carrier under construction at that time. This is the sensational "Batumi export violation by Toshiba". The consequences of this incident were severe: for the first time, the US Navy lost its superiority in hydroacoustic detection of Soviet naval ships, and to this day, the US Navy is still not absolutely sure of detecting new types of Russian submarines.

On May 27, 1987, the RB Metropolitan Police arrested RB Toshiba Machinery Corporation's director of the foundry department, Lin Longji, and the director of the machine tool business department, Hiroaki Tanimura. Toshiba Machinery Co., Ltd. had conspired with Norway's Kongsberg Company to illegally export high-tech products such as large-scale milling machines to the Soviet Union. Lin Longji and Tanimura Hiroaki were accused of being directly responsible for this high-tech smuggling case. This case caused an uproar in international public opinion. This is one of the military-sensitive high-tech smuggling cases that caused the greatest harm to the security of Western countries during the Cold War - the Toshiba Incident.

Bao Zixuan, who knew the historical context, thought that this incident would hardly change. The only variable was that Heiyun Group provided large-scale CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, but he did not dare to have a small body. Back then, Toshiba paid a heavy price to settle the matter.

Since Toshiba is likely to export large CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, can Heiyun use this to threaten Toshiba? But this must be done in secret, otherwise it will be difficult for the Soviets to know that they don't want to die. However, seeing that such a good chip technology can not get Bao Zixuan's heart is always itchy, thinking of looking for an opportunity to get the Toshiba Japanese processor chip technology, and then develop the Huaxia processor chip.

Toshiba representatives did not know that the chip they just released had been targeted by a hungry wolf.
