Rebirth of the Tech Madman

All kinds of mutual trials and bargaining are the most boring and boring.

It is nothing more than Hattori Rejiro wants to promote the development of Seiko Group’s main business to improve his position within the family, and the batch of natural gemstones controlled by Tang Huan’s Shennong Fund will sooner or later be sold. What needs to be considered is nothing but how To maximize both fame and fortune, it’s okay to lean a little bit on the Japanese side, because they are not short of money anyway.

In fact, the result of mutual compromise between the two parties. It can be called a win-win situation, and it cannot be simply measured by paper money figures.

After the Hattori family took the second place in Epson, they could still enjoy the return of the company's rapid development, while Tang Huan quietly obtained the most important precision processing technology.

The value of this technological heritage accumulated by Japan over the decades cannot be fully assessed by Hattori Reijiro, who is staring at the position of the patriarch.

His proposal for cooperation has little resistance within the family, and Epson’s management is looking forward to being embraced by Tang Huan as soon as possible. The entire power transfer process was completed at an astonishing speed, and Yaskawa Hideaki was directly promoted to president and released. Seeking news of listing.

All in all, the entire Epson greeted Tang Huan as the new owner peacefully. With a slight exception, the watch department was a little worried about his future.

Tang Huan also scratched his head. Epson’s watch business was the foundation of the company’s start. At present, it is mainly sold through Seiko channels for ￥◎, ww☆w. It works pretty well, but it’s a bit different from Tang Huan’s it positioning. But let him separate this department to Jinggong Group and reluctant to bear it.

After repeated deliberation, Tang Huan decided. It is better to maintain the current structure. So this department was specifically appeased. And promised to never ignore related inputs.

The headquarters of Epson is located in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture. It's not a modern metropolis in the ordinary sense, but Tang Huan didn't bother to make a lot of changes. Anyway, it stayed in this secluded place in the original time and space, and it did not cause any inconvenience.

After holding the power, Tang Huan finally got his wish and gave instructions to develop inkjet printers. He must not let hp specialize in beauty. In addition to continuing the 24-pin project, the dot matrix printer. Also deal with other competitors to catch up.

Judging from the current market survey, in 1981, that is, this year, Epson will still maintain the leading position in the dot matrix printer market, but after next year, it’s hard to say. Japan’s technological advantages are overall. If money is made on the computer printer, other companies will naturally follow up accordingly.

These unavoidable competitions, after Tang Huan gave his subordinates a clear understanding. He stopped paying attention, and asked Hideaki Yaskawa to form a team. Immediately sent to the Mainland Special Economic Zone to investigate the construction of the factory.

After personally eagerly sending the flattered employees on the plane to the mainland in Tokyo, Tang Huan and Sun Zhengyi reunited in Taidong.

This old man’s entrepreneurial journey in Japan is much smoother than in the original time and space. With the popularity of Xiaobawang game consoles and Fangyuan computers in Japan, his computer magazine has too much content to publish, and he can do it. The most important point is grounding.

Because the game is updated the fastest, Sun Zhengyi will naturally pay more attention to the dynamics of ea Japan and Taidong. After hearing that Taidong, whose business has been adjusted, is finally about to relaunch the arcade machine, he came to see Tang Huan.

Zheru encountered some problems on the road of adopting the second generation of game consoles. The main manifestation is that the heat dissipation effect is not satisfactory in the narrow space of the main box of home game consoles.

In this regard, Tang Huan did not have a cheap and feasible solution. The current level of semiconductor technology is like this. He cannot roughly ignore the objective facts like Jobs did.

Fortunately, for arcade applications, these limitations are not so obvious. Not only can the performance be fully utilized, the latest display and sound modules developed by Zheru are fully equipped.

Naturally, the price of Cassidy arcade is inevitably slightly higher than similar products on the market.

Japanese companies like Nintendo, whose products that are popular in the market, such as the original red and white phones in time and space, are not technologically advanced. Their success lies in finding a balance between technology, cost and other factors. Otherwise, there won't be so many imitators, and they will learn how to copy easily.

In contrast, the Xiaobawang arcade machine seems to be in danger of being high and low, but Tang Huan has enough reasons to believe that as long as "content is king", this product will occupy a place in the market.

Because ea and Taidong have a wealth of classic game resources in their hands, and judging from the current transplantation effect, the operation, visual and sound experience provided by Cassidy arcade is very perfect, which can definitely make players feel fresh.

Most importantly, in addition to new bottles of old wine, ea has launched a new arcade game "Thunderbolt". When colleagues are still trying to figure out the horizontal scroll mode of "Donkey Kong" and "Mario", vertical scroll shooting type Appearing, it can be said that "content is king" has been brought into full play.

Although Taidong's technicians are still optimizing and adjusting the handling, Sun Zhengyi can already experience the charm of "Thunderbolt" in person. The shocking sound effects stimulated the expert's face, and he kept shouting for fun.

"This groundbreaking game alone is enough to make up for the disadvantages caused by the high price." Son Zhengyi finally gave his own evaluation, "It's just that companies like Nintendo, Sega, and Namco are going to complain. ."

Tang Huan laughed and murmured in his heart, "I care about their lives and deaths", and said: "The smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alleys. Xiaobawang arcade needs your professional magazine to cheer."

"Naturally, it's not a problem." Sun Zhengyi smiled knowingly.

...

Sharp learned about Tang Huan's itinerary to Japan, so he invited him to visit it, but Tang Huan politely declined to see that it was mid-January, leaving it to the next time.

You know, the personal computer market and the electronic game console market in the United States are bustling.

The American media jokingly called Fangyuan Computer and Xiaobawang game consoles two delicious desserts, while the slanderous ibm and Universal. Thinking of how to bite hard.

Fangyuan Computer and ea's reaction to this. It can be summed up as grievance and anger. Won widespread sympathy from the outside world, while the industry is sitting on the sidelines.

In the personal computer field, there is a general fear of ibm. The Blue Giant has announced that it will launch a new generation of personal computers, and it has acquired 20% of Intel's shares.

Recently, Seymour Rubinstein made a public announcement, saying that ibm wanted to acquire his own company for the purpose of firmly controlling the word processing software, but he finally rejected it awe-inspiringly.

All signs seem to indicate. Big Blue has the mind to capture many of the current personal computer manufacturers in one fell swoop.

ibm monopolized the prestigious name established in the era of mainframes, watching the lively outsiders admire and yearn, while the relevant authorities are spurned and rejected.

This is the big blue giant tree, and Tang Huan's investment in Seagate and 3, no one pays attention.

And it seems that the popularity seems to be good. Everyone hopes that Fangyuan Computer can chop off ibm's greedy hand.

Of course, this is all illusory support. Once a patent lawsuit is fought, it will cost money. You can only pay for yourself, don't expect others to help.

Of course. Tang Huan can afford to play this game now. He understood very well that this patent lawsuit was just the preparation of the personal computer standards war represented by bus technology.

As for the field of video games, ea is much more isolated.

For example, Atari took a condescending position to express that it should be a natural instinct to respect patents in high-tech industries like ours.

The implication is, ea, you should quickly admit that your "Donkey Kong" has violated other people's copyrights.

It is a very surprised expression. There is such a thing. Then you can buy my products. Our game consoles and games are absolutely original.

As for Milova, who first invented the home electronic game console, due to the unsatisfactory performance of its Odyssey second-generation game console and the failure of the patent lawsuit, three latecomers who made a lot of money were excited to become cynical. Haha, ea, You have today too.

All in all, the peers of video games can't wait for ea, who dominates the market, to die quickly.

This can only be said, ea is also very popular.

During the meeting, Tang Huan did not hesitate to praise his team members for their ability to handle crisis public relations properly when he deliberately let go.

"Everyone, growth is the last word. As for those who are jealous of our benefits..." Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "You come and bite me!"

The absolute self-confidence displayed by the big boss was infected with the people in the congregation and laughed.

"It will take at least two months for IBM's personal computers to be launched. The second-generation Fangyuan computers already have mature and reliable production capabilities and are gradually opening up to personal and commercial users for sale, so they are in a hurry. The lawsuit and the claim that your computer will be cheaper, in order to hold back our progress." Tang Huan analyzed with piercing eyes.

The reason why he is so sure is because multiple sources from within Microsoft said that what ibm needs is still being developed intensively, and Gates, Allen, Ballmer, and others are almost driving crazy.

"Although we strive to make Fangyuan Computer enter the traditional stores like home appliances, in fact, it is the commercial users who can really promote the development of the personal computer market," Tang Huan continued to elaborate his views.

Of course, this conclusion is also summarized by the initial success of the ibm personal computer in the original time and space.

"So, I hope everyone will focus on cultivating successful application models in various industries when laying out the market, so as to drive the needs of other users." Tang Huan glanced at everyone, "Luxury hotels in Las Vegas, San Francisco The insurance giants of Pan-American, West Coast universities, and British universities, and many more are our current achievements. It is not difficult to see that with supporting software to make up for the disadvantage of the high price of the second-generation Fangyuan computer hardware, customers are still Very recognized."

Under Tang Huan's meticulous explanation, all the people present who knew their minds became clearer about the next work. As for the harassment of IBM and Universal. It really gives them a feeling. Come and bite me.

Towards the end of the meeting, Chambers told Tang Huan that Robert Metcalf had passed on an intention. Since he had not been able to meet Tang Huan, the board of directors of the three companies planned to come to Silicon Valley collectively.

"I'm negligent." Tang Huan reviewed himself, "Don't let them work hard. I'm going to Washington to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president, so let's go to the 3 headquarters first."

"Okay. I will reply to them." Chambers nodded.

After the meeting, Tang Huan hurried to the R&D department to visit Woz. This old man was fooled by him. He ran over from Apple to engage in barcode readers and radio frequency card readers, and he was completely out of business.

Woz's great point is that he can use as few electronic components as possible to achieve the required functions, and has a very high execution efficiency. The floppy disk drive on the Internet is the best example.

Once Woz's interest in hackers is aroused, he will explode with amazing creativity. The bar code reader has been completed by it, and it is currently in the public relations radio frequency card reader.

"Tang. If the bank uses these cards in the future, wouldn't we have to observe those accounts?" Woz laughed happily.

Tang Huan was no stranger to this dude’s whimsical imagination. In his early years, he dared to call the Pope with the blue box he invented for pirating long-distance calls. Although he was seen through the trick, he did not succeed, but he also saw it. How arrogant and bold.

The two were chatting enthusiastically, and Woz's assistant hurriedly found him and reported that Markkula, Jobs, and Scott asked him to open the board of directors.

"What is it that I have to find me? I rarely participate in the affairs of the board of directors." Woz, who was disappointed, asked impatiently.

"I heard that it was within the project team that completely fell out. The contradiction between Jobs and Jeff Ruskin has reached the point where a showdown must be made in person, and the two can only save one." The other party explained.

The chaos within Apple can be reflected from the complex relationship between the various project teams. The project team that provides the company with the main source of profit is considered to be outdated because of the long production cycle of the product and the technology cannot keep up with the situation. While being contemptuous, people were poached by Jobs from time to time and sent to the project team. The resulting contradictions are complicated.

"Steve was a bit too much, it's really troublesome." Woz sighed and took the initiative to talk to Tang Huan about it.

It turned out that since the project team was targeted by Jobs, the good days of the person in charge, Jeff Raskin, have come to an end. His power has been emptied and his prestige has been undermined. He has become a tragic figure of the year.

Once, Jobs told Jeff Raskin that the next day's technical explanation meeting was cancelled, but Jeff Raskin received this notice alone, and the rest did not receive such news.

As a result, Jeff Raskin passed by the venue the next day, surprised at how there were so many people, and he was forced to give a speech without preparation, making a humiliated face and laughed generously.

Since then, the knot between Jeff Raskin and Jobs can no longer be solved. It is estimated that today's board of directors will have to make the final result of the two.

"Without being present, I can also guess from their previous tone. Markkula and Scott would think that Steve who is doing nothing is more troublesome for the entire company. As a result, he was removed from the Lisa project team. The compensation for driving away, at the expense of Jeff Ruskin, and let the project team involve Steve’s energy." Woz shrugged helplessly, a pair of internal political struggles in the company, and he is now also Understand the expression of one or two.

Tang Huan, who was personally testing the performance of the card reader, smiled noncommitantly. He didn't want to mess with the bad things inside Apple, and he didn't want to be thankful.

"Tang, come with me. Anyway, you and them haven't seen each other for a while." Woz, who was urged by his assistant to be a little depressed, wanted to take Tang Huan as a company.

Tang Huan looked at the card reader and then at Woz. He said that the sample developed by this old man was better. For this reason, he had to accompany him, otherwise he would be unhappy. , What to do if you choose to pick up the child.

...

After arriving at Apple's office, Tang Huan clearly felt the dignity of the atmosphere, and even Markkula, Scott and his greetings were listless.

"Steve, don't you really plan to try to live with Jeff again?" Markkula is making the final persuasion~www.wuxiahere.com~ The question is, Jeff Raskin himself raised it. Yes, the project team, I do not have him, and he does not have me. "Jobs snorted.

"Then let Jeff Raskin go on vacation." Scott sighed and offered suggestions.

Last time he agreed to expel Jobs from the Lisa project team. Now he has to ease the relationship with each other. Jeff Raskin has inevitably been sacrificed.

"That's fine. Let us make this decision. There is no need to disturb others, otherwise it will be a trouble." Markkula has a headache, but hopes that from now on, Jobs can stop. .

"Vacation?" Tang Huan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said that this is really the ultimate trick to release soldiers from a cup of wine.

Jobs, who got his wish, raised his chin slightly, and his gaze fell on Tang Huan, "Since Tang is also here, I might as well talk about the proposal."
