Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Chapter 255
Atsushi Yoshikawa and his wife bowed and said, "Mr. Bai, hello! This is Atsushi Yoshikawa, please give me your advice when we meet for the first time!"

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Ji Chuan-kun, hello! Thank you for your kind invitation, what a bother!"

Atsushi Yoshikawa is a man about 30 years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a sincere smile on his face, he said: "It is an honor for my Yoshikawa family to invite Mr. Bai to come as a guest, please!"

Atsushi Yoshikawa guided Bai Zirui into the villa, and Bai Zirui walked in and walked through a courtyard on stone steps.Atsushi Yoshikawa raised the door curtain of a room, and Bai Zirui walked into the room. The room looked about forty to fifty square meters, and two long tables were placed on the left and right sides.

Atsushi Yoshikawa asked Bai Zirui to sit down at the long table on the left, and signaled to his wife that the food could be served.Soon Japanese girls in kimonos began to serve the dishes. The first thing to serve was the salmon salad dressing. The fresh salmon was marinated in the sauce. It was delicious and sweet, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Another girl sitting quietly at the side poured a glass of Kiku Masamune Sake for Bai Zirui. Kiku Masamune Sake is a famous Japanese sake with a history of more than 300 years.

The Japanese cuisine is famous for its "eye cuisine". Each dish looks pleasing to the eye, but it tastes very small, which is a kind of torture for the gluttonous.Fortunately, Bai Zirui didn't pay attention to eating.

Atsushi Yoshikawa asked: "Mr. Bai, what do you think about the development of the semiconductor industry?"

After the initial pleasantries, the two finally got to the point.Atsushi Yoshikawa did not ask Bai Zirui about video game consoles, but instead asked about the semiconductor industry.

Before Bai Zirui's soul passed through, the global semiconductor industry was already a huge industry with a total output value of more than 5000 billion U.S. dollars, of which Intel's annual revenue was as high as 680 billion U.S. dollars.

Bai Zirui thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Yoshikawa, we are in an era of change, and the digitization of information will enter human daily life faster and faster. Semiconductors are the cornerstone of the modern electronics industry. I am very optimistic about the development of the semiconductor industry." develop.

In the past, we used chips in radios and televisions, but in recent years, the new generation of technology companies represented by Apple is simplifying the large-scale computers that were previously limited to military and scientific research into a small home appliance and bringing them into our daily lives. middle.

On the latest Apple Lisa computer, you can use spreadsheet office software to produce the company's financial statements, and you can modify them at any time. After you are done, you can print them out with a printer connected to the computer at any time!
With the improvement of personal pc, five or ten years later, pc may be as popular as television sets, and that time will be the blowout period of the semiconductor industry!
Compared with the immature PC market, I am more optimistic about the rapidly expanding video game console market.Large-scale arcade machines are rapidly replacing old-fashioned pinball machines and other game equipment, appearing in bars, convenience stores, grocery stores, and movie theater waiting areas, becoming the new favorite to attract crowds.

A large number of specialized arcade game halls have begun to appear on the streets of Japanese cities.Even though the game hall is small, the air inside is turbid, and the smell of tobacco and sweat is mixed, it still can't resist the players who are full of interest.

Among the crowds flocking into the game hall are students who have just finished school, unkempt jobless people, and middle-level white-collar workers in suits and ties. This is a rising industry! "

Atsushi Yoshikawa said with emotion: "I have benefited a lot from chatting with Mr. Bai! To tell you the truth, I was studying electrical engineering at American University before, and the wafer factory under Siklin Co., Ltd. (Dience) I made it all by myself!

However, compared with big companies such as Hitachi, Toshiba, and nec, the technology and management level of our new factory is far from sufficient, and the yield rate is relatively low, which has caused the cost to be too high, and the price of the chips produced is not cheaper than purchased chips. ! "

Bai Zirui smiled without saying a word. There is also a nickname in the semiconductor industry called "half-inverted body".Many fabs closed because of excessive losses before they could achieve maximum capacity.

Bai Zirui said straightforwardly: "Mr. Yoshikawa, haven't you considered entering the video game industry? In my opinion, your company's industrial structure is very suitable for the production of arcade machines. Moreover, an arcade machine requires a large number of chips, which can greatly ease the problem. The dilemma faced by your company's fab!"

Atsushi Yoshikawa said plainly: "Mr. Bai, our company has never had any experience in making games. How can we rashly step into an unfamiliar industry?"

Bai Zirui raised his glass and asked, "Jichuan-kun, have you tried the game I brought?"

Atsushi Yoshikawa praised: "The Great Wall Cube game brought by Mr. Bai is very exciting, and it has already caused a sensation in our Scullin Co., Ltd. (Dience). I tried it in the afternoon, and I played it without knowing it. Two hours, and I still feel a little unsatisfied!"

He paused, and asked jokingly: "Li Jun, are you willing to authorize the Great Wall of Cubes game to Deans for production and sales?"

Bai Zirui replied: "Mr. Ji Chuan, I know that people don't speak dark words. My Dingtian Technology Company has very limited strength, and the next main energy will be on developing the American market.

If Dience Corporation intends to enter the arcade game industry, I can authorize the production and sales rights of the Great Wall Cube game to your company.

After your company has the Great Wall Cube game to test the water, it can quickly find out the situation of the game industry and prepare for the establishment of a game development team.

Dingtian Technology Co., Ltd. hopes to get your company's full support in the production and development of arcade motherboards.In my opinion, this is a win-win for both of us! "Bai Zirui put forward his conditions openly and honestly.

Atsushi Yoshikawa said with a hearty smile: "Mr. Bai, I really appreciate your frankness! I originally thought that such things as electronic game consoles are just children's toys. Your company's game conquered me in just a few minutes. Yes, arcade games are really an industry with unlimited potential!

But it is an unfamiliar industry field for our Dience Company, we will not step into this unfamiliar industry rashly, please rest assured! "

The dinner was still going on. With the flipping of the chopsticks in the girl's hand, a piece of beef covered with snowflake marble was gradually roasted in the slight sound of "呵...呵...", and a meaty aroma that made people move their index fingers filled the air. in the room.

Atsushi Yoshikawa, who was opposite to Bai Zirui, said, "Mr. Li, this is the best quality Kobe beef, please enjoy it slowly!"

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Ji Chuan-kun, then I will not be polite!" After speaking, he began to enjoy the food.

After several times of mutual testing, the two basically figured out each other's sincerity and bottom line, and began to chat about other topics.Atsushi Yoshikawa introduced his life of studying in the United States, and the two had a heated discussion on the differences between Eastern and Western cultures.
