Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 38 Let’s call Softbank

On the flight from Treasure Island to Tokyo, Tang Huan held a pen to write and draw. This is already his habit. When he has free time, he will write some core codes and process design drawings, and then give them to his engineers. For your reference, after all, Tang Huan’s technological leadership at this time cannot be described as being far-sighted.

This aircraft is the famous Boeing 747. Many powerful civil aviation companies are vigorously introducing this type of aircraft. Passengers sit in the first class and take a break and work.

Tang Huan has been running around in the past few months with a tight schedule. He can be called a trapeze. I feel that the most used mode of transportation is the Boeing 747.

The flight attendant brought the drink, Tang Huan nodded, and looked at the slim figure that the other party was leaving. He couldn’t help but think of Lin Fengjiao, so a knowing smile appeared on his face.

During his stay on Baodao, he and Lin Fengjiao had a few meals together, and it can be said that they have become familiar friends.

In the last banquet, Lin Fengjiao helped Tang Huan entertain celebrities in the entertainment industry, and he did his best.

Tang Huan wanted to use the excuse of gratitude to let her accompany her on a trip to Japan, but this conservative and traditional woman considered it again and again, but finally refused. She looked on guard as if she was worried that she would eat her. Of course, Tang Huan really planned it this way.

When we meet next time, the heat should be almost over, and there can be no more delay, Tang Huan thought.

For myself, although beautiful women cannot be called a scarce resource, if they can be seen pleasing to the eye, then they can’t be met, and it is better to get into the house early.

picked up the cup, took a few sips, and Tang Huan turned his mind to the purpose of this trip.

Epson’s 7-pin dot matrix printer TP-80 has sold more than 10,000 units through Zheru’s channel.

Seiko Epson, who was originally the main business of watches, found that printers were so good. He immediately took the opportunity to expand and contacted philosophers. Especially after learning that Tang Huan had arrived in Asia, he became more urgent and strongly invited He came to Japan to have a high-level contact and discuss the next cooperation.

Large Japanese companies often have a characteristic, that is, they have a long history, which can be passed down for hundreds of years. At the same time, they will more or less involve some disgraceful past during World War II.

Therefore, Tang Huan squeezed Epson without hesitation, and most of the printer’s profits fell into the pockets of philosophers.

The Japanese are of course not stupid, but the United States is the market they value most and strive to develop, and the mainstream business philosophy of this period is to win market share. Epson also thinks so, so even if they are exploited severely, they still perform Be well-behaved, warm and polite.

From the bottom of my heart, Tang Huan really wants to acquire Epson’s printer business into his own hands.

You must know that before inkjet printers were commercially available, dot matrix printers were a hen who would lay golden eggs, and Epson had a technologically advanced advantage in this field.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Epson was overly obsessed with stylus printers, suffered a lot, missed the best opportunity for the development of inkjet printers, and turned the tide after a lot of setbacks.

However, Tang Huan’s acquisition plan is estimated to be difficult to realize.

Seiko Epson, as the name suggests, the parent company is Seiko, which is controlled by the Hattori family. In the original history, Epson’s listing process was not smooth, which was hindered by the Hattori family.

It seemed that he could only figure it out slowly, and Tang Huan toasted and drank all the remaining drinks.

…

Tokyo, Japan, Chiyoda District, Akihabara.

There are a variety of electronic stores distributed here. Although it has not yet formed the world-famous electronic hypermarket in the future, it can also be seen that this is the world of electronic products.

Sun Zhengyi is dealing with his company’s affairs in Japan. Tang Huan, who wants to deal with Epson, asked him to be his assistant, so the two agreed to meet in Akihabara.

Standing outside a game console store, Tang Huan thoughtfully.

In the 1980s, due to the hot sales of Nintendo’s red and white devices, various games and related stores were booming in Akihabara.

It’s just that my own Xiaobawang game console will be on the market soon. Compared with the third-generation FC game console developed by Nintendo a few years later, it is also 8-bit CPU architecture, except for the slightly weaker sound effects. In addition, other aspects are not inferior, I don’t know what kind of scene will be here then.

“Mr. Tang, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.” Sun Zhengyi walked out of the store quickly.

“I haven’t been there for long.” Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, greeted the other party to get in the car together, and asked by the way, “Are you choosing a game console suitable for the American market?”

“Yes, after all, when the cooperative project with Sharp is over, I will find some long-lasting ways to make money. However, compared with Zheru’s thriving business, this business is really a little pediatric.”

Sun Zhengyi smiled bitterly, and he could see that this person is not small-minded and has higher requirements for the accumulation of venture capital.

Seeing that Sun Zhengyi has a talent for selling game consoles, Tang Huan moved in his heart and said, “I just have a good opportunity. Maybe we can cooperate in the future.”

Japanese companies are more grouped, and the game market is even more closed. This can be seen from the fact that the famous online game “World of Warcraft” in the past life did not set up a dedicated server in Japan. This kind of discrimination has not yet developed local communication, it should be a useful wedge.

“Is it software on personal computers? It is indeed a good business, but it will take some time for Japan to reach the popularity of microcomputers like the United States.” Sun Zhengyi showed a look of regret on his face. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

“That’s not necessarily.” Tang Huan said lightly, the game console project is not suitable for premature publicity, and it is not too late to mention it with Sun Zhengyi when the time is right.

Sun Zhengyi quickly lifted his spirits and laughed, “Actually, the way of business of Philosopher’s company has made me see another world. It turned out that in addition to all kinds of tangible electronic hardware, simple Software can do so much too.”

Tang Huan nodded in agreement. In addition to his tenacity, Sun Zhengyi does have a keen sense of catching business opportunities. No wonder he can invest in potential companies like Yahoo and Alibaba in the future.

“With the development of the computer industry, the profits in software are destined to grow larger and larger.”

Hearing that Tang Huan agreed with his ideas so much, Sun Zhengyi was very excited, “I promised my mother that I would return to Japan as soon as I graduated. You said, what kind of name should I take for the new company I set up by then.”

Tang Huan rolled his eyes and smiled meaningfully: “I think it’s better to call it SoftBank, SoftBank, Software Warehouse, Software Bank, no matter how you explain it, they are very prestigious.”

Hearing this suggestion, Sun Zhengyi’s eyes lit up, “Sure enough, it’s a good name. I guess Mr. Tang originally prepared it for a certain subsidiary of his own. Then I’m not welcome, just use it directly, you don’t regret it. ”

Tang Huan smiled and said nothing. According to the original historical development, Softbank will not be established until 1981. I don’t know what effect he will play if he reaches out and pushes it.

Soon, the car stopped and their destination arrived.
