Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 761 President Li’s Reminder
"Do you like the house?"

"like."

"But……"

"I like you better than the house."

In Itaewon, in Hideki Hanyu’s newly completed detached mansion.

Under the towering walls is a courtyard with a strong sense of design. Whether it is the white marble statues, the ground patterns paved with colorful pebbles, or the carefully trimmed green plants, they all have obvious modern art characteristics.

However, at this moment, Hideki Hanyu, who was looking at his new house in the courtyard, had no time to pay attention to the scenery.

Because he was brought by Miss Samsung to see the house, he was teased and flirted by the Miss as soon as he entered the house, and they started kissing each other in the courtyard.

Hence the initial conversation.

I have to say that the strange-looking chair in the courtyard is actually quite convenient for doing some things.

After a long time, the strange noises in the courtyard finally subsided.

The two returned to the sofa in the living room of the house and sat down.

While adjusting her wrinkled skirt, Li Fuzhen asked Hanyu Hideki, "Oppa, do you like the new house?"

Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "Why is this question again?"

From the moment he arrived in Gimpo by plane and was picked up by Lee Fum-jeong to look at houses in Itaewon until now, this Samsung lady has been asking this question.

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, the 19-year-old girl snorted and said, "Of course I want to hear Oppa say that he likes it and then praise me. After all, many of the designs here were determined by me."

Seeing that the eldest lady of Samsung said so, Hanyu Hideki immediately said, "Of course I like it. This is always my answer. How could I not like the design you chose, Toumatsu?

After all, I like you so much, even if..."

After praising the girl, Hideki Hanyu continued with a series of sweet words, which immediately made the Samsung lady very happy. She then pulled the scumbag to see the bedroom again.

I have to say that the young girl's recovery speed is very fast and her physical strength is enough to fight on par with Hideki Hanyu in a short period of time.

After a pleasant night, time came to the next day.

July 17th.

Hanyu Hideki got up early in the morning, and without waking up the sleeping Li Fuzhen, he went out alone to do his business.

After all, his visit to South Korea this time to check out the newly built house and to build a relationship with the eldest daughter of Samsung were just minor details.

The main reason, in addition to not attracting attention in Neon, is that there are indeed some formal work in South Korea that needs him to handle personally.

For example, today, Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Yunshang Technology and Samsung, will experimentally produce an important product.

That is the memory card specially provided for the second generation PS console.

It can also be called an archive memory card.

This archive card uses SRAM (static random access memory) technology, the same technology used to store game cartridges on the PS console, and requires the use of a button battery to achieve long-term storage.

Why doesn't the PS2 console use flash memory as a memory card when the Shining Institute has already mastered flash memory technology? ?

There are mainly two reasons.

The first reason, of course, is that it was too early and flash memory technology had not yet developed to meet the requirements.

The second reason is that the technology does not meet the requirements and the production cost is still difficult to reduce. The price of using flash memory is more than three times that of using SRAM.

Although Elf Entertainment can pass on these higher prices to game consumers, the excessively high prices are clearly not suitable for sales promotion of the P2 console.

After all, judging from the cost of various accessories that have been gradually mass-produced, the selling price of the P2S console is at least two-thirds more than that of the PS1.

At this time, it would undoubtedly be a very unwise thing to increase the cost and selling price of a small memory card, which would also provide subsequent competitors with an opportunity to catch up.

Therefore, when it comes to such insignificant little accessories, Elf Entertainment certainly takes the attitude that it’s fine as long as it can be used.

After all, even in another time and space, when Sony launched the PS1 in the early s, it also used SRAM technology as the archive memory card.

Therefore, for Elf Entertainment, which launched the 3D game console ahead of time, there is no need to use high-cost and immature technology such as flash memory.

This time, Genie Entertainment's decision to place the memory card order with Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. can be seen as a gesture of goodwill and win-over to Samsung.

After all, it is good to keep money in the family. Hideki Hanyu's idea is to gradually allow Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. to enter the "Elf Supply Chain" and then gradually help Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. grow.

Therefore, in the future, not only the archive memory cards, but also other related orders will be given to Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Precisely because of this, Samsung attaches great importance to this cooperation. It has not only established a research and development team with Yunshang Technology to specialize in the research and development of technology and production technology.

Then, after confirming its success, this experimental production was organized and Hideki Hanyu was invited to witness it in person.

After leaving Itaewon, Hideki Hanyu drove straight to Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. in Gyeonggi Province.

Finally, after arriving at the factory, he met Li Jianxi who had just arrived.

The two men changed into professional production uniforms and, under the guidance of their subordinates, entered the production workshop for archiving memory cards.

Then, under the watchful eyes of a group of senior executives, the production line was officially started.

While waiting, Li Jianxi and Hanyu Hideki looked very relaxed.

Because they all know that today's production is experimental.

But in order for these two bosses to come and visit, it must have been tested in advance, and only dared to operate in front of them after being sure of success.

The so-called experimental nature is nothing more than a ritual, a pretext.

Seeing that the equipment was running normally and the engineer did not show anything unusual, Li Jianxi, in a relaxed mood, suddenly asked Hanyu Hideki in a low voice.

"Hanyu, the accessories for the console have already started production. The research and development of Elf Entertainment's second-generation game console should have been completely completed."

"hehe."

Hideki Hanyu smiled but said nothing, thinking that this old fox was actually trying to trick him at this time.

However, it would be bad for him not to answer in front of his partner.

So after a smile, he added, "The development of the second-generation PS console is indeed going very smoothly. If there is good news, I will tell Brother Li as soon as possible."

As the most important strategic product of Elf Entertainment in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the second-generation PS console was kept confidential at the highest level.

Even Hideki Hanyu will not reveal any information until the last moment.

In fact, it is not just Li Jianxi who wants to know the progress of the second-generation PS console. News media, players, and related capital around the world are paying attention to the semiconductor industry, the gaming industry, and even Hanyu Hideki.

Everyone has a strong interest in this next-generation console that Elf Entertainment announced at the E3 exhibition a year ago.

The purpose of the news media is simple, of course, to get first-hand news, and then to break exclusive news and the like, to increase sales and influence.

As for the players, they are relatively simple-minded and make various speculations with the media. As the leader in the world's gaming field, what breakthroughs will Elf Entertainment achieve on the second-generation PS console?
On the contrary, the final capital and related industries, such as Li Jianxi now, have much more complicated purposes. In the mid-to-late 1980s, when the semiconductor industry was in a low ebb, it was the rapid rise of the electronic game industry that saved the entire semiconductor industry again.

Among them, Elf Entertainment, which defeated Nintendo and sat on the throne of game overlord in this time and space, is of course the most upstream existence in the industrial chain.

The Elf Supply Chain is undoubtedly the "camp" that semiconductor companies most want to join.

The success of the first-generation PS console and the power of the three major platforms of Elf Entertainment have made everyone have great expectations for the second-generation PS console.

They hope that Elf Entertainment can innovate technology, create greater glory, make the cake bigger, allow those who have already joined the Elf industry chain to get more, and allow more companies to join in.

Therefore, today's second-generation PS console is, to some extent, no longer just a commodity, but also carries the future of many related industries.

Everyone knows that Elf Entertainment has been quietly working on the research and development of the PS2 console for several years.

Therefore, they earnestly hoped that Elf Entertainment would eventually forge an unrivaled sword so that their future would not be in vain.

Therefore, when Li Jianxi asked this question at this time, perhaps he also wanted to get a little confidence from Hanyu Hideki, the founder of Elf Entertainment.

After all, Samsung is the major shareholder of Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and the one that has invested the most.

Today their biggest client is Elf Entertainment.

As a member who has joined the Genie supply chain, Li Jianxi certainly hopes that the PS2 console will be as successful as possible.

Guessing what Li Jianxi was thinking, Hanyu Hideki continued.

"Brother Li, please rest assured that I have participated in the development of the second-generation PS console from beginning to end, and I have paid attention to any problems as soon as possible.

There will be absolutely no problems with the development and launch of the new console, and the performance of the new console will not disappoint those who pay attention to it. It will definitely be a next-generation console that will shock the world."

“That’s great.”

Li Jianxi felt somewhat relieved after hearing what Hanyu Hideki said.

After all, Hideki Hanyu is good at creating miracles, and at least until now, he has not suffered any major failures in his career.

What such a person says will undoubtedly give his collaborators great confidence.

"Brother Li, given our relationship, the cooperation on archive memory cards is just the beginning for Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. As the second-generation PS console is finalized, there will definitely be new orders for production here."

After giving Lee Kun-hee confidence, Hanyu Hideki gave the Samsung leader a delicious carrot.

His words are undoubtedly great news for Li Jianxi, who attaches great importance to the semiconductor industry.

Li Jianxi immediately smiled, "Haha, I knew it was right to cooperate with Hanyu. Now it seems that this is one of the most correct choices I have made."

For the Samsung semiconductor industry, which is just starting out, what better news could there be than to have Elf Entertainment as a big supporter?

While the two were happily chatting, the trial production in the workshop finally produced results.

Looking at the archive memory card in the engineer's hand that had not yet been installed into the casing, and the qualified test answer given by the engineer dispatched by Elf Entertainment, everyone knew that the trial production was a success.

Hanyu Hideki shook hands with Li Jianxi and said, "Congratulations, Brother Li."

Li Jianxi said, "It should be congratulations to us."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations to us."

Li Jianxi asked tentatively, "What about the order?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Brother Li, please ask President Iwata directly. After all, he is now the manager of Elf Entertainment. He will definitely give Brother Li a satisfactory answer."

Although Hideki Hanyu can paint a big picture for Li Jianxi, when it comes to specific business, he will not easily overstep his authority and interfere with Iwata's work.

In addition to respecting Iwata's rights in Elf Entertainment, what is more important is that he knows that it is not Elf Entertainment that established Peninsula Advanced Semiconductor Co., Ltd. with Samsung, but his Cloud Technology.

Although they all make money for him, they are divided into different factions.

Even if it was just for show, he didn't want to interfere with the normal business operations of another party for the benefit of one party.

Li Jianxi didn't force it, but instead invited, "Since the trial production was successful, we should go back to Seoul and have a good drink next."

"Please." Hanyu Hideki agreed readily.

……

Shilla Hotel, Seoul.

In the box of Hanyu Hideki and Li Jianxi, after three rounds of drinks, the two began to talk about other things besides cooperation.

Li Jianxi asked mysteriously, "I heard that Hanyu came to South Korea this time at the invitation of Mr. Lu."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect Brother Li to know about this."

“Although the list of guests for the presidential banquet has not been announced yet, it is not difficult for me to find out.”

Li Jianxi lowered his voice and reminded in a mysterious tone, "These are troubled times, Hanyu must be careful."

Of course, Hanyu Hideki knew very well why Li Jianxi gave such a reminder.

Although South Korea seems to have entered the era of democratic casting after the previous young general stepped down, everyone knows who sent Commander Lu to the throne.

Because of the power in this man's hands, the chains around the necks of South Korean chaebols have not been completely loosened.

Even last month, after the other side canceled the referendum, it was ridiculed by South Korean media reporters as the "5.5 Republic".

However, these twists and turns, although very "significant" for South Korea, actually have little impact on Hideki Hanyu.

He is just a businessman who came to South Korea to invest.

Not to mention that South Korea has now relaxed its restrictions on Japan, even earlier, Japanese capital had already started investing in South Korea, and even today it is the largest investor in South Korea.

Otherwise, who are those red-light bars on Jeju Island with neon signs and Korean women wearing kimonos and speaking fluent Japanese for?

Today, Commander Roh can’t even take care of South Korea’s own chaebols.

Why do they dare to take action against an international capitalist like Hideki Hanyu?

Of course, the other party has no motivation to do so.

Li Jianxi only knew the list of names, but how could he know that Hanyu Hideki had received a call from the Commander's Office before coming and already knew the purpose of the invitation.

The other party hopes to discuss the development and future of South Korea in the field of culture and entertainment with Hideki Hanyu, the founder of Asia's media hegemony.

It seems that President Roh has been troubled by the domestic democrats recently and is planning to find another way and do something else to distract social attention.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Li Jianxi.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li. I will be careful."
