1991 Starting from the core

"By establishing the Flash Memory Alliance, relying on NEC's strong manufacturing capabilities, FarCore's technological breakthrough capabilities, and Sony's product realization capabilities, we can promote the arrival of the digital age ahead of schedule."

After Su Yuanshan finished speaking, he looked at Sekimoto Munehiro quietly, waiting for the old man's opinion.

Munehiro Sekimoto nodded lightly, said with a smile, "Wait a moment," and then continued to look down at the technical documents that Su Yuanshan brought over - this is Yuanxin's plan for MLC flash memory particles and various related market assessments, and about flash memory particles. Time expectations for technological breakthroughs.

If Sekimoto Munehiro is willing to believe Su Yuanshan, then everything will be easy to handle.

If you don't want to believe it, then... it's a bit difficult.

After all, after Toshiba's nonsense back then, basically no one in Niguo was doing anything about flash memory. Instead, it was in Silicon Valley that Intel and SanDisk made a big splash. They accidentally created a flash memory that has already been developed this year. It has reached a market worth more than one billion US dollars.

And the funny thing is that Samsung in the United States is now driving an excavator to dig out flash memory particles here in the United States because it has adopted the plan of "following the Silicon Valley big guys and going more radical". Team, it is said that Toshiba’s flash memory team will be hollowed out...

In NEC, flash memory is basically a concept... Even Su Yuanshan doesn't know if the old man can understand it.

Sekimoto signaled his secretary to fill up the tea for Su Yuanshan and Su Yuanshan, then continued to look at the documents. He picked up the MP3 player and operated it carefully before raising his head.

"If we follow Yuanxin's plan, this player should replace the current tape players and MDs, right?"

"Yes. And the most important thing is that it targets the increasingly mature Internet and personal computer markets - at the same time, it can not only be used for listening to music, but also for file storage." Su Yuanshan took a sip of tea: " We are already optimizing the protocol rules of the USB interface. The next generation version of the USB protocol will increase the data transmission rate by about five times compared to the current rate. Because of the characteristics of the USB interface, it can not only replace the floppy drive , and can also replace the optical drive."

Hearing what Su Yuanshan said, Sekimoto frowned slightly - NEC is a large manufacturing company - oh no, giant! We produce everything from satellites to optical drive movements. It can be said that if humans want to immigrate to a planet one day, they can only let one company pass by and be able to rebuild the electronics industry sector in the shortest time. Then this company must be NEC...

"Well, flash memory does have market potential." Soon, Munehiro Sekimoto nodded and looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile: "If an alliance is established, does it mean that Yuanxin will share its current patents and technologies?"

Hearing this, Su Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

He pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course!"

…

There is no such thing as a free lunch and no blind adventure. For NEC, they need to evaluate the costs and market after entering the production market of flash memory particles. For Yuanxin, it is also necessary to maximize the interests of Yuanxin.

He is here to discuss cooperation, not to alleviate poverty.

Therefore, both parties stated that they would conduct communication after their respective evaluations.

…

Next, Su Yuanshan visited Honda, Fujitsu and other companies in turn - when he went to Honda, he naturally went to sell lithium batteries. Because just three months ago, Honda launched a new concept car with gasoline-electric hybrid power.

Moreover, when Su Yuanshan went to Honda, he also hoped to see what a car factory was like.

After all, he was the one who was going to build the car.

Fujitsu also welcomed his arrival extremely. In an extremely friendly atmosphere, both parties agreed on almost all of each other's views, especially in terms of liquid crystal technology.

Regarding Su Yuanshan's request, he hoped that Fujitsu could speed up the investment in product lines and technology. Fujitsu said that it was OK... They would try their best to ensure that BOE's production line would be officially operational within half a year.

After all, Fujitsu is not a fool. After knowing that Yuanxin will soon launch notebooks and the screens of mobile phones are getting bigger and bigger, if BOE delays for one more day, it means that the technology may fall behind by one day.

Even if Yuan Xin gritted his teeth and supported him, there was no way he could support him.

After visiting a circle of companies, Su Yuanshan’s last stop was Nikon.

…

Su Yuanshan said he didn't have any resentment towards Nikon, a "party B's father"... That's really impossible.

At present, when Asmail has not yet risen, and when all the photolithography companies in the lighthouse country are wiped out, Nikon and Canon are the well-deserved bosses.

All wafer fabs around the world have to look at their faces. The procurement of each wafer fab even resides in these two companies, and they will be taken away as soon as the products come off the production line.

Because during the boom cycle of semiconductors, it was not a photolithography machine, but a money printing machine.

At this time, it is the peak of the semiconductor cycle.

Nikon was also the only company that didn't send a special car to greet Su Yuanshan - but that's okay, he was busy!

But fortunately, Zhiyuan EDA has an office here, and the person in charge is still a veteran of Yuanxin.

"Xiao Shan! Zhou Mi!"

As soon as he got off the Honda commercial vehicle, Sun Xiao, President of Zhiyuan EDA Asia, almost trotted up to Su Yuanshan. His eyes were smiling and he was extremely excited.

"Senior Brother Sun, long time no see." Su Yuanshan held Sun Xiao's hand with some emotion.

Sun Xiao is also a senior in the Electrical Engineering Department. Because he was familiar with integrated circuit design and programming, he was assigned to Zhu Jianting's staff, and then he was made independent. And because the market and after-sales service of Yuanxin require talents with double talents, and...it happened to be that Sun Xiao could speak a little bit of Japanese, so he was "assigned" here out of desperation.

From the earliest Niguo office to the current Asian branch, Sun Xiao has been here for nearly two years.

"Hello, Mr. Sun." Zhou Xiaohui also knew Sun Xiao and knew that he was the first batch of veterans to enter Yuanxin, so she didn't rely on him. She quickly stepped forward to shake hands, then turned to Wen Xiaoqian beside her and nodded: "Xiao Qian, President of Zhiyuan Asia, President Sun Xiaosun, was also the veteran of Zhiyuan back then.”

"A very old veteran, when I helped Professor Su code the code, Secretary Zhou hadn't even arrived yet." Sun Xiao laughed loudly and shook hands with the two girls politely: "Let's go, I'll send you there directly."

"Well, then I'll trouble Senior Brother Sun."

"Let's talk about this... But Nikon is a bit unkind this time. A great master like you is here, and they don't send a car to pick you up?" Sun Xiao personally helped Su Yuanshan open the car door and motioned for him to get in the car first.

"Senior brother, please go first. We senior brothers, please stop doing that."

"Haha, that lady has priority, please."

After getting in the car, Sun Xiao looked at Su Yuanshan and sighed with emotion: "You are not kind, you didn't even say a word when you came here."
