Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 99



Chapter 99 Do a boring favor

The Japan Science and Technology Alliance was established in 1946 to help companies do a good job and continuously improve quality management.

In 1951, named after the American quality management expert Edwards Deming, established the Deming Award, which is awarded annually to individuals or companies that have made significant improvements in quality management.

The rapid rise of the Japanese economy after the war, statistical process control and total quality management are considered important boosters.

In other words, the quality of Japanese electronic products, which are as small as unobtrusive resistors and capacitors, and as large as TV refrigerators that users can directly see and touch, is indeed guaranteed.

This is also the main reason why Tang Huan dared to substitute Japanese semiconductor components for American semiconductor components.

The facts have also proved that, at least up to now, the Fangyuan computer and the Xiaobawang game console using Japanese semiconductor components have not been cheated on the quality of the hardware.

Tang Huan intends to choose two suppliers to accept this order after all these bidders have revealed their hole cards.

However, many Japanese semiconductor companies gathered on Treasure Island, and there was a lot of noise.

When Tang Huan, who was served refreshed by Lin Fengjiao the next day, appeared, the officials of the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park Administration, headed by He Yici, and representatives of relevant departments had been waiting for a long time.

Tang Huan didn’t change his expression. After listening to their words for a while, he just wanted to take this opportunity to attract Japanese companies to settle in the science and technology park.

It is really united to seek development, Tang Huan muttered in his heart, but he also thinks that Baodao does have a certain foundation in semiconductors.

Compared with the technological blockade suffered by the mainland, the technological exchange environment on the treasure island is much more relaxed.

In 1976, an official private research institution, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, ITRI, signed a technology licensing contract with RCA, the American Radio Corporation, and successfully introduced semiconductor process technology. In 1977, the company established The island’s first 4-inch wafer semiconductor demonstration plant.

In the past, the well-known chip provider of mainland clone mobile phones, the well-known MediaTek, its old proprietor Lianhua Electronics was derived from this. Although it was made the second in the millennium by TSMC that appeared later, Lianhua Electronics is worthy of its name. The first professional semiconductor manufacturing company in Baodao.

This adult beauty, Tang Huan is naturally willing to do it smoothly, and barriers such as technical blockades also need to be broken down patiently step by step in a roundabout way.

“I can understand your ambitious ambitions, and I will cooperate with you. First of all, I would like to invite these Japanese semiconductor companies to visit Zheru and Science Park. If the opportunity is right, I will also use investment and construction of factories as a reference condition for cooperation. In short. , I’m hello, hello everyone.” Tang Huan agreed happily.

The next schedule is to meet with representatives of major semiconductor companies one by one. The main purpose of both parties is to use this contact to get a preliminary understanding and prepare for the subsequent negotiation and competition.

In addition to the memory manufacturing process, technology, yield and price, Tang Huan and these Japanese talked about the same topic as whether they are interested in becoming the second supplier of MC68000, Intel8086, and MOS6502 microprocessors.

Among the 16-bit CPUs, MC68000 is very good, but Motorola is destined to focus on communication technology in the future, and the MC68000 series of CPUs are bound to be weak.

As for Intel8086, after IBM selected it as the only CPU of the chess project IBM-PC, it was inevitably required to have a second source of supply.

In the previous life, Intel authorized AMD, but after it decided to make the processor its main business, it tore up the contract. Although AMD sued for decades and finally received compensation, it has been unable to shake Intel’s monopoly. Up.

Although MOS6502 is only a cheap 8-bit CPU, it is still widely used for a long time.

For example, the Xiaobawang game console is different from the Atari 2600. The latter uses a MOS6502 streamlined version with only 13 memory address pins-MOS6507. The former is not so conservative and directly uses MOS6502 and Fangyuan. The computer is the same.

Therefore, the demand for MOS6502 is very strong.

But there is a hidden concern. The manufacturer that produces MOS6502 was acquired by Compata, and this company is also selling personal computers using MOS6502, and it is also relying on this convenience to fight price wars.

In order to cope with this rogue behavior, MOS6502 currently has only two second sources of supply, Rockwell International and Synertek, and it is difficult for them to play a check and balance role.

It is for the above reasons that Tang Huan hopes to bring in Japanese semiconductor companies as early as possible. On the one hand, he can **** his own hardware products. On the other hand, he can attract enough firepower from his American counterparts. Technology is introduced to Asia.

It can be said that Tang Huan’s scheming and calculating have always been a bit sloppy.

Regarding the production of memory and MOS6502, the representatives are full of confidence, but the two new processors MC68000 and Intel8086 have made them doubtful. It is estimated that the cost of obtaining the license from the second source of supply will be very high. Technical risks are also difficult to control.

Regarding this, Tang Huan was noncommittal. The so-called observation is to see how the small abacus of each family is being pulled at this time.

In terms of funding, the Japanese are not short of money. As for technology, in previous lives, the MC68000 and Intel8086, the two classic CPUs, were almost used as standard references in various textbooks. I can help the Japanese overcome technical difficulties. The production conditions, quality control and other resources in the hands of the other party were not possessed by Tang Huan.

As long as huge benefits are produced, Japan will naturally find it difficult to give up counterfeit products, and the semiconductor war between it and the United States will definitely become more intense, and it will be able to advance and retreat freely in the cracks.

In order to show that as long as you can produce the products, you will guarantee the courage to eat them all. Tang Huan, as a representative of these Japanese semiconductor companies, made arrangements to visit the Zheru factory.

“The cycle of adopting MC68000 and Intel8086 next-generation products is coming soon. Everyone, it doesn’t matter that the past wave of market has not caught up, but don’t miss the opportunity in front of you.” Tang Huan looked confidently at the dozens beside him one by one. A little Japan in a suit and leather shoes.

Everyone nodded and said yes, and promised to report the latest situation to the headquarters as soon as possible.

“If you can build a memory and microprocessor factory in this park, it will undoubtedly be more convenient to control costs. You may wish to refer to this suggestion. As for the sincerity of the park, I believe you have already felt it.” Tang Huan will naturally not forget to agree in advance. Help to attract investment.

The original procurement bidding process was trivial, but now the demands for the development of Baodao’s high-tech industry have been added. The whole negotiation has become more complicated. Tang Huan has to attend many seemingly boring events. Otherwise, there is no talk of trust and sincerity.

This afternoon, Tang Huangang, who was staying in the office, concluded a new round of negotiations with Toshiba Semiconductor’s representatives, and received a call from Lin Qingxian asking if he could help.

“Let’s talk about it, it’s best to go up to the knife mountain and down to the pan level difficulty, otherwise I can’t show my ability.” Tang Huan happily agreed.

“That won’t be enough.” Lin Qingxia chuckled lightly, and then her tone was a little twisted, “This busyness may seem boring, but I really can’t think of a more suitable candidate than you.”

“No matter how boring, it’s more interesting than my business negotiation with Little Japan just now.” Tang Huan took a sip of tea and joked casually, “I feel embarrassed to speak, shouldn’t I pretend to be your man? My friend, help you deal with difficult problems such as drinking and retreating suitors.”

“It’s such a thing, I don’t know how to say it, I didn’t expect it to be guessed by you.” After Tang Huan broke his intention, Lin Qingxia didn’t hesitate to speak, and readily admitted.

“So accurate, it seems that I have the potential for fortune-telling.” Tang Huan laughed, “Who is the other party, Qin Han or Qin Xianglin, or a new admirer?”

“You are also a big boss anyway, can you not gossip like others.” Lin Qingxia was a little unhappy, “Just say you promised not to help.”

“Promise, why not agree, I have been discussing business in the same way these days, so boring, I just have fun to relax.” Tang Huan replied enthusiastically.

“This is not fun. Since your attitude is so serious, I’d better find someone else.” Lin Qingxia seemed to be angry.

Seeing that the other party was amused by himself, Tang Huan quickly made up, “Okay, blame me for not being serious, just tell me, how can I cooperate with you to complete this task.”

“Let’s meet and talk.” Lin Qingxia sighed, seemingly annoyed.

Putting down the phone, Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows for a moment, then picked up the phone again and ordered his subordinates to arrange a good car for him Shi Chongtang just walked in and asked in surprise: “What about the next negotiation? ?”

“You come forward and deal with it. These Japanese people are well versed in negotiation skills and strictly abide by the process of work. We should not be too proactive. It is not a business to catch up.” Tang Huan waved his hand impatiently, “Let’s observe for a while. , Touch their hole cards, I’ll go out to do some private affairs.”

Shi Chongtang nodded and agreed, watching Tang Huan go out.

……

Tang Huan received Lin Qingxian from Ximending Pedestrian Street. He looked at the other party taking off the mask, with obvious melancholy on his face, so he asked, “Why does it seem to be sentimental?”

“It was here that I was discovered by scouts and I entered the showbiz. After so many years, it’s really a rush of time.” Lin Qingxian said lightly.

“Are you going to make up your mind to immigrate to the United States?” Tang Huan tentatively asked.

“Can you not always be so smart.” Lin Qingxian gave Tang Huan a blank look.

“It has nothing to do with your IQ level. You feel so emotional when you are so young, and you will naturally think of it.” Tang Huan smiled, and muttered in his heart, a woman who has encountered trouble instinctively has to choose to escape, not to mention you in the past life. That’s it.

“You guessed it so accurately, then drive me around and then drive me around. Anyway, there will be some time before the party at night.” Lin Qingxian asked without seeing it.

“No problem.” Tang Huan readily agreed, hitting the steering wheel, and left the intersection of the pedestrian street.
