Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 582 Returning
The first thing Fang Zhuo did as Sony's foreign director officially lasted all day.

Although he brought not many people, both the associate professor of Tsinghua University and the two technicians of OmniVision have deep research and understanding of CMOS image sensors.

Therefore, even though it will take time for them to issue a letter of opinion, Fang Zhuo still got a rough opinion after inspecting Sony's CMOS project that day.

——It has a future and can be done.

However, such opinions are more judged by the development of CMOS itself.

That is to say, it can replace CCD to a large extent, and it can generate great benefits in this respect. As for the application to mobile phones, it still needs to be carefully considered and explored.

Chu Dingzhang was born in OmniVision Technology, and he has a good understanding of industry dynamics. What he knows, Canon, which is also developing CMOS, does not seem to focus on this technology as a mobile phone. Sony’s current project is also targeting traditional areas, such as cameras and security cameras. wait.

When Fang Zhuo attended Stringer's private party to thank the "think tank" for coming to Tokyo again, he was asked about the inspection of CMOS, but he frowned slightly and gave a vague statement.

"Yike's technical team hasn't given any advice yet."

"But, Stringer, hasn't Sony always lagged behind in the past two years? All the energy has been focused on insurance and finance?"

"Canon's research and development in CMOS is much faster than Sony's."

"My technical director even thinks that Yike should cooperate with Canon."

Of course Xu Keden didn't say that.

Moreover, even if Yike wants to cooperate with Canon, Canon may not leave room for cooperation at all.

But Sony is different. Technology is of course valuable to Sony, but for Sony in its current situation, it seems that it is not so valuable.

Stringer had picked up on the signal from the young CEO that Sony was falling behind again.

He shook his red wine glass, smiled and wanted to talk about this project that he didn't quite understand.

"Let's talk after both sides have an opinion." Fang Zhuo interrupted, "Anyway, that's what I'm going to say. You should know the general situation first. After all, you have to be busy with group affairs now."

Stringer nodded. If it wasn't for Fang Zhuo's idea of ​​cooperation, he really wouldn't pay attention to Sony's technology research and development in this field.

The atmosphere of a private party is more relaxed and pleasant.

Senior executives from different companies were invited to help this time, and finally successfully witnessed the birth of a foreign chairman in Sony. This is undoubtedly a happy thing, and for each other, it is also a small event to expand relationships.

Fang Zhuo didn't communicate with the think tanks very deeply, but he talked a lot when he was asked about his team.

After the party ended, Stringer finally talked to Fang Zhuo alone.

"Fang, in July, if you have time, you can come to the Sun Valley meeting together."

Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Sun Valley meeting?"

"It was held by Allen Company, and there will be many media, technology, and entertainment people to participate." Stringer briefly introduced, "Like Gates, Disney's Eisner, eBay's Whitman, etc."

He paused and said, "I'm going to talk to Gates this year about the next-generation DVD format. Microsoft should accept our Sony standard."

Fang Zhuo didn't speak, he didn't understand such a meeting.

Seeing that the young president was silent, Stringer asked, "What do you think of Sony's Blu-ray DVD?"

Fang Zhuo couldn't help laughing and said: "Sir, do you really think of me as the president of Sony? My opinion is not important at all, because I don't know anything about this field."

"I think I'm going to win this standard battle for Sony." Stringer continued to elaborate on his point of view.

"I don't understand Blu-ray DVD, but the standard is that if you have more friends, you will have more chances of winning." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "Sony has a new chairman, and I believe it should have bottomed out and rebounded."

Stringer got some comfort and encouragement, and smiled: "Sony has changed to a new board of directors and external directors, and it should bottom out."

Fang Zhuo felt that the Englishman seemed to be more flattering after he became the chairman.

……

The change of power at Sony Group set the tone with the conclusion of the shareholder meeting.

The following matters about Stringer's use of the previous "Transformation 60" plan and his actions against the board of directors are all lingering rumors that have nothing to do with Fang Zhuo.

The Sony Group will obviously continue to fluctuate. The defeated Ryoji Nakabachi still holds a high position, and Kutaragi Ken who came to power is also at odds with each other, not to mention that the two leaders Norio Ohga and Nobuyuki Idei both have influence on Sony.

Fang Zhuo is just a small foreign director, he will not participate in such a thing, and he does not want to devote his energy to it, but he is happy to see the result.

A Sony in chaos is a good Sony.

Stringer, who initially showed a crony style, is also a good jazz.

On March 3th, Fang Zhuo, who spent another day off with his family, decided to return to apply the next day. It was also on this night that he received a letter of opinion from the technical team.

Because the possible impact has been emphasized, the argument of the opinion paper is very cautious. The final result is that CMOS can bring better functions to mobile phones, but this time may take two or three years.

There is no suggestion for business cooperation in the opinion paper. What kind of cooperation model between Yike and Sony can be established needs to be considered by Fang Zhuo himself.

"Mr. Xu, what if we set up a joint venture subsidiary and put part of the R&D center in China?"

Fang Zhuo thought for a long time, and called Xu Keden directly.

"There is quite a shortage of domestic talents." Xu Keden suggested, "If we really want to do it, we must have our own people. We can ask Professor Liu about this and see if we can cooperate with Tsinghua University."

He continued: "Build a cooperative laboratory, recruit more students in this field, and give scholarships and sponsorships... Mr. Fang, if we have a joint venture with Sony, it would be better for us to eat the technology."

"Even if it takes a little longer."

Fang Zhuo originally wanted to set up an R&D center in China and put it in Luzhou, but now he listened to Mr. Xu's suggestion of cooperating with Tsinghua University, and felt that this would be fine.

This matter cannot be rushed for a while. Tomorrow, I will give Stringer a modified opinion letter and wait to see how the two parties cooperate.

There are three new officials, Yi Ke has always been happy to cooperate with Sony Music, and of course he is willing to provide one.

Fang Zhuo ended the call, and reviewed his vacation trip to Tokyo again.

In addition to not having a good vacation, other things are pretty good.

On March 3, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo returned to Shanghai with his family and an improvised technical team.

Xu Keden, the technical director who came with him, stayed in Tokyo, and he still needs to do further research, which involves a lot of content.

Originally, Fang Zhuo also planned to accompany him, but the news he received from the American Android company made him cut back his itinerary, and planned to fly to New York after focusing on e-buy in China.

　There are a lot of things at the end of the year...... It's late again
