Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 121: I have to go out

Under Tang Huan’s supervision, Epson’s dot matrix printer research and development progress has been accelerated. Following the successful launch of the 7-pin TP-80 in 1978, the 9-pin MX-80 was finally put on the market in batches in January this year, ahead of the previous life. For more than half a year.

   Through the control of the printing enhancement card, the 16-dot Japanese output of the MX-80 has a pretty good display effect.

   This makes Fangyuan computers equipped with word processing software and spreadsheet software even more powerful. It has been enthusiastically sought after by countless small and medium-sized companies, and its sales have exceeded the combined sales of Baodao and Xiangjiang. Last month, it exceeded 3,000 units.

   I have to say that under the general situation of economic boom, there are unlimited business opportunities here in Japan.

   Tang Huan learned about these information through telephone calls and reports, and what Yaskawa Hideaki is now introducing is mainly the latest information that has not had time to be reflected in words.

Based on experience, Tang Huan judged that the daily operations of Zheru Japan will definitely encounter some problems while the business is booming. This is true. Fortunately, most of them are sales channels and after-sales service mechanisms that cannot be perfected all at once. Little trouble caused by getting up.

   "Whether product packaging, manuals, and related technical materials can be translated into Japanese as soon as possible, many users have begun to complain about this inconvenience." Yaskawa made suggestions.

   Tang Huan smiled, and said his heart is not covered in English, with the aura of Silicon Valley in the United States, how can the Japanese quickly recognize and accept the advancement of Fangyuan Computer and take out their wallets obediently.

"Well, I will arrange for the factory on Baodao to send someone over to coordinate as soon as possible, but training technical support engineers is the most important now. Businesses like customers requesting to upgrade computers to increase memory must be brought under control. ."

   Tang Huan discussed this topic with Hideaki Yaskawa. His plan to include highly educated Japanese talents was constantly revised, and before he knew it, the car arrived at the hotel.

   Tang Huan did not let go of Hideaki Yaskawa, but kept him in the reception room of the suite to continue the conversation.

   Japanese society can be described as hierarchical, and Yaskawa Hideaki, who grew up in rural Hokkaido, naturally wanted to climb up. After entering Epson, he mixed well.

   But Epson, controlled by the Hattori family, was relatively conservative in many cases. There were more opportunities than philosophers. And now Hideaki Yaskawa can be said to have encountered the ceiling, and Hattori Reijiro on his head can't move anyway.

   At this time, Tang Huan made a vigorous wooing, and Yaskawa Hideaki, who was on guard from the beginning, was a watchdog representing Epson's interests, and step by step changed his door, and took refuge in Zheru Japan.

   The two companies are currently cooperating closely, and the exchanges are very frequent, so this change has not attracted the attention of Hattori Rejiro.

   Having been so highly valued by Tang Huan, it is needless to say that Yaskawa Hideaki's heart is delighted. He took the initiative to bring up one of Epson's latest research and development projects-portable computers.

   When he first heard the news, Tang Huan was shocked. He said when Epson came to the front of his brother and Nima was too bad.

   But after reminiscing for a while, Tang Huan suddenly realized.

In 1981, in the original time and space, Epson did launch a microcomputer, the model EPSON HX-20, which integrated a complete QWERTY keyboard, a monochrome LCD screen that can only display one line of text information, a tape drive, and even a dot matrix. The mini printer weighs only 1.7 kilograms, while the world’s first notebook computer, the Osborne generation, released by Adam Osborne in the same year, weighs nearly 11 kilograms.

   But that's all. Although the Osborne generation is cumbersome, it provides usable word processing and spreadsheet software, while the lightweight EPSONHX-20 only provides BASIC.

   Tang Huan got paper and pen, drew the EPSONHX-20 model, and then handed it to Hideaki Yaskawa, "Is it a device similar to this form?"

   Hideaki Yaskawa glanced, his face clearly showed a weird look, "I have seen the prototype of the design, it is almost the same."

   Tang Huan snorted, "It seems that Mr. Hattori Reijiro has always been worried about the Epson shares that I had allocated as a basis for cooperation at the beginning. Only then did he want to show his talents in computers."

   Hideaki Yaskawa gave a dry smile, with an embarrassment on his face. He was also upset at the beginning, but now his position has changed, and he understands the strength of Fangyuan Computer, so he naturally takes Tang Huan's request for granted.

   "What's the prospect of this product?" Yaskawa asked tentatively.

"Perhaps under specific needs, users will like it." Tang Huan was not eager to deny a stick to death, instead he appeared to be a small belly. "The key is that users can do what with a microcomputer. The example of Fangyuan computer is already there. Yes, if you support Japanese, everyone will naturally make a choice."

   Hideaki Yaskawa nodded thoughtfully. He also thinks that with Fangyuan computer pearls ahead, other similar products are eclipsed. Besides, there are almost no so-called similar products in Japan.

   "I think Epson should separate the printer business as soon as possible, leave the watch part to Seiko, and then use the foreseeable market boom to issue stocks and go public." Tang Huan said bluntly.

   In the past life, it was the repeated negotiations between Hideaki Yaskawa and the Hattori family, and finally led Epson to successfully go public. Tang Huan felt that the two should have a common topic in this regard.

   Hideaki Yaskawa gave a wry smile, "That means giving up a large part of the rights, and the Hattori family will not agree."

"Why don't you have something to do? Hattori can't always regard Epson as Seiko's rear production base, right? The printer market has a bright future." Tang Huan shook his head regrettably. He doesn't have control of Epson, so naturally he won't be indifferent. Reserve it to mention it, it seems that we can only wait for the MX-80 to sell well this year and next, and various manufacturers are competing for copycats before making plans.

   At this time, Sun Zhengyi called and told Tang Huan that Taidong’s boss Mikhail Cogan wanted to see him.

   Listening to Sun Zhengyi's tone, it was obviously depressed, and Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh, "Come on, I'll wait for the driver."

"I happened to see a scene where they negotiated at the company. Although Sun's work ability is excellent, he has obtained enough bank loans through Sharp's relationship with other parties, but Cogan thinks he is a bit young and frivolous and unwilling to accept it. Proposal for the acquisition." Hideaki Yaskawa said in passing when he left.

   Tang Huan nodded, it seems that he has to go out, or else he can't restrain this well-known Jew.

Mikhail Kogan was born in the Ukrainian military port city of Odessa on the shore of the Black Sea. Because of the rapid expansion of German Nazi power in the 1930s, a fierce anti-Semitic trend was set off across Europe. The Kogan family fled and fled. To the east, finally came to China's Harbin.

   At that time, Japan had already invaded and occupied the entire northeastern region through the September 18th Incident.

  Because there was a guy named Anjiang Senhiro who believed in the "Protocol of the Jewish Magi", he became a so-called Jewish expert, and then promoted Japan to develop a pufferfish project.

   Therefore, Japan has shown great enthusiasm for this group of Jews who have fled from Europe. They hope to use the Jewish wealth to rule the Northeast.

   But in fact, Little Japan is a bit too superstitious. These people who fled are basically too poor. After that, the history of the chicken feathers is hard to say.

   But at that time, Kogan benefited from this, and even met Senhiro Yasue, and was recommended by him to study in Tokyo, Japan for five years.

   Kogan has Jewish shrewdness and is very enthusiastic and outgoing, so the business process after graduation is fairly smooth. He traveled to major cities in China, and became famous in Tian_jin and accumulated his first pot of gold.

   After the defeat of Japan, Kogan returned to Tokyo and founded Taitoyo Co., and started trading business such as suits and vodka, but it was difficult to integrate into mainstream Japanese society and his business was bleak.

   At this time, one thing made Cogan Shi come around.

   As a prisoner of war, Anjiang Senhong was captured in Siberia and died in a foreign land. So Kogan came forward to bury his scenery.

   At that time, the Israeli ambassador to Japan was invited to preside over the funeral, and most of the members of the second Far Eastern Jewish National Congress who were still alive attended.

   This move helped Kogan gain enough prestige and his social status has been significantly improved. Many Japanese companies took the initiative to find him for business.

   It can be said that from this time on, Kogan really took root in Japan.

   At that time, JukeBOX, the jukebox, was very popular among American soldiers, but its operating rights were monopolized by Chicago's V&V Trading and ServiceGames, one of the predecessors of Sega.

So Kogan came to the West Coast of the United States. With his bold nature and extensive knowledge, he quickly became a popular member of the Jewish businessmen's association in Los Angeles. He met the boss of AMI, a famous North American jukebox manufacturer. The sole agent of the brand's jukebox in Japan. Since then, Taidong's business has flourished.

  Kogen has also become an important bridge to contact the Japanese and American industries because of his excellent popularity. He often travels between the two countries and voluntarily acts as a mediator in commercial disputes.

   At the same time, Taidong started to operate the pachinko game, the ancestor of arcade games, and ServiceGames competed with it.

   The two finally compromised and cooperated during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and they made a lot of money.

After   , ServiceGames merged with Roesn.Enterprises of American Jew David Rosen to become SEGA or Sega.

   The trio of Taidong, Sega and Namco in the arcade market was formed.

However, the game is similar to the movie. Maybe the cloud is raining and there is a serious copycat problem, so Taidong always makes money every time. The most recent sales peak was in 1978 when the game "Space Invaders" was launched. .

  The ambitious Sun Zhengyi selected Taidong as the acquisition target. He still picked a soft persimmon, but Kogan, who is proficient in English, Russian, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic, is obviously not so good at dealing with them.

   Tang Huan finished sorting out Kogan's information in his mind, drank a sip of Zhao Yazhi’s brewed tea, and asked with a smile: "Have you figured it out? Where are we going to play?"

   Zhao Yazhi gave Tang Huan a white glance, "It depends on how long it takes you to get off the plane. It depends on you. I have free time to blame. I have realized that this time I come to Japan to be a nanny for you."

   Tang Huan, who was drinking water, coughed and shook his head with a wry smile, "As for such an exaggeration?"

   The two were talking, and Sun Zhengyi arrived with Cogan.

   Tang Huan looked at the other party. He was in his sixties, very energetic, shrewd in his eyes, and a little bit probing.

   Kegan had heard of himself, Tang Huan quickly made a judgment in his heart.

   "Mr. Cogan, it's nice to meet you. Actually, if I'm not rude, I would like to call your particularly loud name Marco." Tang Huan stretched out his hand to say hello.

   Marco is the given name given to him by Kogan's father, and Kogan also loves this title, which is considered to be his preference.

   Kegen did not shake hands with Tang Huan, but laughed directly into a bear hug, not at all like an old man over sixties.

   Tang Huan smiled and squeezed his eyes at Sun Zhengyi. Is your little guy able to withstand this kind of enthusiastic greeting?

"Tang, I heard your name in the United States, not only smart, but also lucky~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I found an underwater treasure worth hundreds of millions. I am jealous." Cogan's hearty voice proved it. Tang Huan’s previous guess was correct.

"Then I'm really honored." Tang Huan smiled and asked Cogan to sit down, complimenting him: "Actually, I have long admired you for a long time. I have a lot of knowledge, a genius in language, and a bold statement of justice. An attractive man."

Kogan was so complimented that his eyes became a seam, "Sun's collaborator is really you, so I don't worry. Cassidy game console is very popular in the United States. I am very willing to cooperate with you, maybe I can get it. How lucky."

   When Sun Zhengyi heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Without such bullying, I have visited you more than just innocently, but you refused in every possible way. But as soon as he saw Tang Huan, he bowed his knees immediately, which was too unethical.

"I am willing to share my luck, but in business, I still have to say something." Tang Huan considered his words, "Japan's arcade market is too competitive, and the home video game console industry is in the ascendant, too. After being acquired by EA, Dong will definitely benefit a lot."

"When Sun came to me for the first time, I began to seriously ponder the stakes, but his weight was not enough to win my trust. It's different now that I see you." Cogan nodded repeatedly, looking like a He looked like he was digging his heart and lungs, but his eyes shone slyly.

Tang Huan glanced at the miserable Sun Zhengyi next to him. He said that the old man Kogan was too hurtful, and he had to comfort his partner who has great room for appreciation for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~Welcome The majority of book friends come to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. ;
