Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

From China, to Korea, to Japan
Walking down such a route, there is no need to wait for the plane to land.When you are still in the air, you can intuitively feel the differences in regional development through the portholes
At night in China at this time, the outline of the city is not obvious.But a little spark can also start a prairie fire;

When I was in South Korea, except for the bustling area near Seoul, most areas were still dark;
And Japan.
Seen from the night sky, the splendor of Tokyo even pales in comparison to New York!

When the plane landed at Haneda Airport, sitting in the cot, looking at the bustling city outside the window, Manfred and the others exclaimed again and again, like bumpkins who just entered the city.

Carter can understand this. After all, in terms of the degree of urbanization, how does the United States compare with Japan? !

The metropolises of the United States may look large, but it is no exaggeration to say that the population density is a few degrees behind Tokyo and Shanghai.As Tokyo, which can be said to be on the list of population density in the world, whether it is the bustling crowd on the street.Still stimulated by high income, the happiness on the faces of those Japanese.It gave Manfred and the others a lot of shock, and the nightlife in Tokyo is obviously more lively than New York!
Enter the Tokyo Club and let these young people go and let their youth go.This is the age of restlessness, the release has to be released.
Besides, who doesn't love such a boss who gives some surprise benefits from time to time?

After arranging the students, Carter took the VIP elevator alone and went straight to the president's office on the top floor.
"Carter! You're finally here. Murano and I have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go! Let's have a soak and talk while we soak."

"Okay! It's just time to relieve fatigue and sleep well at night. Furukawa-kun, long time no see!"

After greeting the two young men in the office with a smile, the three went downstairs talking and laughing again.In this part of Japan, there is nothing that cannot be solved by taking a bath, if there is, then take two baths!
Besides, it's not difficult, is it?

"I have brought all the storage product samples you want! There are hard disks, floppy disks, and even this, M2312K, Fujitsu's 81-year laboratory product, which is just ready to be marketed this year. I heard that the storage space has reached an astonishing 84.4 M! You know, I don’t know much about these things, you can take them back and try!”

After changing clothes, soak in the pool.Furukawa Murano clapped his hands, and immediately someone walked in carrying a lot of things that were incompatible with this steamy environment.
After slightly picking up the towel and wiping his hands symbolically, Furukawa Murano picked up something even more exaggerated than a brick and handed it to Carter
"Hey guy, you said this thing is a hard drive?!"

"I'm afraid I won't need such a big thing. Besides, I don't have the idea of ​​competing with you Fujitsu. I plan to make a low-priced model. For something with exaggerated performance, let's forget it!"

Carter sank when he started.

"Of course I believe this, so I found you as soon as I arrived in Japan. Forget it, let's not look at the product! I believe in your quality, let someone take it out, and then you will ask someone to send you the quotation That's fine. If there is any problem, I will contact you again, and the monthly purchase amount will be 5000 units."

In other countries, maybe the rich, maybe teaching and scientific research institutions, and the government will purchase.But ordinary people really don't have access to these products.As for the two major markets of Japan and the United States, Carter has not calculated the size of the Japanese market.But in America.
IBM's annual sales are roughly stable at around 25 units, accounting for more than 60% of the market share.In fact, Osborne had hoped to impact IBM's position in the personal PC field, but unfortunately, the glory of selling [-] units a month was like a flash in the pan, and it didn't take long before he made it up for himself!Today's sales, under the peeping of the party, the word "slump" is not enough to describe its tragedy
In summary, the total demand for consumer computer products in the United States is maintained at about 44 units a year.In other words, the current market size is so large that 5000 units can be sold a month, and 6 units a year.With a market share of nearly one-seventh, there is no doubt that this is a major customer that Fujitsu, or any manufacturer of computer components, needs to find a way to win after knowing the news!

This hard drive with an astonishing storage capacity is also surprisingly large.The length may not be as long as the "gas stove" and RTX series graphics cards of later generations, but the thickness is far beyond those of the increasingly larger graphics cards.If compared with the common 3.5-inch mechanical hard drives in later generations, the thickness of those hard drives in later generations can barely reach the height of this guy's base.

After all, regardless of the relationship, the United States is not without companies that make storage components.Such a large customer, they didn't show any sincerity, and ran away by themselves, and they were still in pain
Besides, Fujitsu is not all Japanese, right?

As for whether Carter can do it, who cares?Anyway, the agreement is signed, even if Carter fails to do it, Fujitsu can still earn liquidated damages!

Putting aside the premise of enterprise-level needs, the consumer-level computer market is in today's era.People who have this need and can afford computer products may only have Japan and the United States in the world.

Throwing the big guy in his hand to the side of the pool again, Carter believed that as long as Furukawa Murano was not a fool, he wouldn't be able to play tricks at this price.

"Hahaha, it depends on your choice! Even if you want to make a machine of the same quality, it doesn't matter. The market is so big, you can't talk about whether you can grab it or not. Anyway, in terms of hardware, what Yasuda-kun relayed means that your expectations The demand is about 5000 pieces per month, which is not a small number! If you can really achieve this purchase amount, please rest assured that Fujitsu will definitely be your best choice!"

Germans also have a say in Japanese-German joint ventures.But the Germans these days are actually quite kind.
For example, when Santana's production line first settled in China, the Germans carefully gave a suggested retail price: 8.The result. Cough cough cough.
"Let's talk about something else. I'm here this time, and you all know that I'm here to recruit students. Do you have any younger siblings of the right age? Come to Yale to study, my territory, I'm covering it! You can rest assured!"

Putting aside that little rumor in my mind, I also put aside the purchase of computer parts for the time being.Carter brought the topic to the point
Inspired by Manfred and the others, Carter couldn't help but open his mind.

These Japanese chaebols, unlike South Korea, have a short history.The Yasuda family, the Furukawa family, these have lasted for hundreds of years!
Counting all the direct descendants and collateral descendants, this number is really quite a lot.

If you can pass them, you can directly collect the tuition fees of ten or twenty students!
So this is still a fart presentation? !

Hurry up to the next stop, isn't it delicious? !
