On Wednesday, Luzhou drove to Zhujiang New Town again after get off work.

The day before yesterday, he also went to pick up his wife like this. The two of them drank some sparkling wine while eating Western food that day, and they couldn't find a designated driver at the last halfway. In the evening, they found a high-rise hotel in Zhucheng for one night.

Lu Zhou felt a long reminiscence about the night before. It felt very different from home, especially Lu Zhou booked a river view room, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows showed the prosperity of Zhucheng and the surging Pearl River. Speaking of yesterday, Ye Qingchen worked overtime again as usual. After Lu Zhou took him home, he went to Ye Qingchen to cook dinner, and it was almost nine o'clock.

Look, Lu Zhou also planned to fool Ye Qingchen into giving him some wine tonight, and he stayed in Zhujiang New City tonight. The next day, Ye Qingchen could walk to work.

At this point, we picked up Ye Qingchen, and Luzhou took her to a Japanese restaurant by the river.

On one side of this road is a tributary of the Pearl River, and the scenery is good at night. The developer probably also seized this opportunity and built some low-rise shops along the road. Luzhou is preparing to solve the problem for dinner tonight.

The two of them sat on the open-air bar. The whole row of wooden tables faced the river view, which was much better than the experience in the store.

"Look at the two mobile phones you have brought recently? You don't care about the trouble." Ye Qingchen picked up the mobile phone that Lu Zhou placed on the table. One was a beige apple and the other was a black Samsung.

Lu Zhou smiled, "Isn't I always brought my backpack with a computer before, and I have several mobile phones in my pocket, but you just haven't seen it. It's still time to try out the company's software. After all, there are some differences in Android and Apple. There are some minor problems with the software, and it's easy to communicate with employees."

As for this Nokia, you can bring it with you when you have a backpack, and you can take someone over to work. It is still a hassle to put three mobile phones in your pocket.

Lu Zhou bought four of the two mobile phones in his hand, except for Apple's one, at the time. Samsung and others just went to the company's testing department to get it. In order to debug the compatibility of each mobile phone and system version, most common mobile phone brands and models on the market are basically available. It is even said that sometimes Apple's 3Gs tests have to be used to make a leverage development department.

Sometimes the two departments have a lot of friction, but it is also a good thing for product development.

"I have used this brand before. It was just my mother who stepped down and used it for a long time. The logo is still anycall." Ye Qingchen held his cell phone and fiddled with it casually.

Lu Zhou also had an impression when she said this. This was the time when the two of them were in front of each other. Ye Qingchen took a flip-up Samsung. He also waited to talk about his boyfriend and girlfriend. Lu Zhou changed her smartphone, but the process was half-stop, but it was really good in the end. After all, WeChat was also doing it at that time, and the beta version of the function was often used to interact with Ye Qingchen.

"Unlock~" Ye Qingchen looked at him with a smile.

Lu Zhou said, "Curious baby."

Lu Zhou unlocked her while also.

Ye Qingchen continued to mutter, "Then there is still a secret."

Lu Zhou laughed, "That's not."

Anyway, when you unlock your phone, the main interface is full of various mobile apps from Menggu, and you can make something happen. Even if it is the Apple commonly used by Luzhou, it is not very useful to use WeChat messages. There are many group messages, but most personal chats are done in just a few sentences.

However, Lu Zhou thought that in the future, this mobile phone would be a personal item that is becoming more and more private. Perhaps when Ye Qingchen felt that his mobile phone was not suitable for Lu Zhou to see that day, she probably wouldn't just look for Lu Zhou to ask for a mobile phone to find a secret.

It’s understandable, it’s always mutual. My wife is still a sensible person.

After the two of them worked for a while, the waiter in the restaurant served meals. As more and more people came, the restaurant's bar along the river was also full of seats.

While Luzhou was eating, a family of three came to the place beside him. The middle-aged man even asked Luzhou. The couple looked at the age of about the same as their parents, while their daughter looked at the same age as themselves.

The waiter walked to the man in the house, and the man spoke Japanese directly with the waiter. The waiter was a little confused when he heard it. In the end, the man still communicated with him in Chinese.

"It's so beautiful." Lu Zhou was eating sushi while thinking that the man was talking to him, and his Mandarin was quite smooth. I don't know if he wanted to try his luck in this foreign land to see if he could find a partner who could talk to his native language.

The man noticed Lu Zhou's gaze. He laughed and said in Chinese, "Sorry, sorry. I'm used to finding someone to speak Japanese in Japanese restaurants."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly, not caring much. He looked at the other side of Ye Qingchen, where there was also a person sitting there, looking at the couple.

At this time, the waiter walked to the nearby area again. Lu Zhou said he wanted to order a small wine when he tried to drink it. Seeing that the price list was not too expensive, Lu Zhou didn't understand this. In his opinion, the sake of the height was nothing different from dry white wine. In the end, he picked up the plum wine of about ten degrees.

I don’t know if it’s authentic or not. Anyway, he just drinks a lot of fun, and he can’t drink it even if it’s not authentic. Anyway, he just finds an excuse to stay in Zhucheng with Ye Qingchen for one night.

The man next to him said familiarly, "The wine in this restaurant is quite average. If you want to try some authentic ones, you can try my."

Lu Zhou heard that he looked at the bottle on the other party’s table. It was obviously Japanese wine of a height. So let’s forget it. What should I do if I drink unconsciously at night?!

"Thank you for your kindness. This degree is too high, so I won't try it."

"The degree is similar to that of China's Moutai, but the wine is not high-end, and the taste is not comparable."

Refute Moutai... In the eyes of these dozens of degrees of wine, is boiled water or?! This is so difficult for a person from eastern Guangdong. In the people I know Luzhou, I will turn red after drinking a sip of beer and say that I feel dizzy. Many people are there.

Lu Zhou finally declined the goodwill of the old Japanese man and drank some with Ye Qingchen with a low-degree plum wine.

However, while eating, Lu Zhou looked at the Japanese family. The husband was eating and drinking wine on his own, and his expression was intoxicated. Occasionally, he might say a few words to his wife and daughter. But when the wife and daughter were chatting, they mostly used Chinese.

"Sir, have been in China for a long time?" Lu Zhou held the wine glass and wanted to touch someone.

The other party smiled and said, "It's almost ten years..."

After saying that, he drank it all in one go, and Lu Zhou had to bite the bullet and drank the glass of plum wine.

During the chat, Lu Zhou also learned that this gentleman was named Toshi Sato. Although he was Japanese, he worked for Samsung in South Korea. He also came to Samsung China in his early years due to business expansion.

Sato Toshi was drunk until he was half drunk and talked a lot, so he didn't stop talking. Lu Zhou was so happy to listen to his talk.

"Mr. said you work in Samsung's chip department, but I remember that the scale of integrated circuits in Guangnan is not as developed as the Yangtze River and the north."

Luzhou drinks and asks about these things.

Sato smiled and sipped his wine again, "Ami is going to school here. I'm here to visit me while I'm taking a vacation."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. You should talk about this family, which is quite magical. According to Sato's meaning, the couple are both pure Japanese. But later they went to work in South Korea. The daughter Mami was born at that time and her nationality was still Japanese. However, she grew up in Korea and was not very fluent in Japanese. As for Sato later, she came to work in China, and her daughter simply came to China to study directly.

Sato looked at the river view, perhaps because he was drunk, and the person sighed slightly.

He said, "There are actually quite a few Japanese people like me who work in the Korean chip industry."

Lu Zhou sounded interested, "Oh?"

Sato smiled, "Young man, you just said that the company you run has invested in the chip industry. Why? Haven't you understood some of the history of the last century?"

Lu Zhou also smiled, but he didn't care. When he first talked about his own Lizhi Technology, he was just looking for some chat topics. As for what kind of chip giants he said, he didn't have that meaning. After all, it was useless.

Sato had no intention of sarcasm. He sighed slightly, "Yes, it's strange to think about it if other people want to understand the glory of another country."

Sato then continued to drink and told his story.

The transistor and semiconductor industries all originated in the United States. At that time, Japan was in a period of economic recovery after the war, and Sato was born in that era.

When he was young, Japan also gained some technology in the chip industry by relying on the strategy of "market for technology", and local American semiconductor companies also took this opportunity to enter the Japanese market. Later, technology was exchanged, but it was several generations away from the technology of local American semiconductors. The so-called businessman is nothing more than that. He keeps the latest technology himself, and technology that is on the verge of elimination or backward economic benefits was used to exchange for the entire market.

When he went to school at Sato, he also went to one of the best universities in Tokyo because of his excellent grades and studied semiconductor and chip majors. The reason why Sato chose his major was very simple. At that time, the Japanese government launched a joint research and development plan, such as Hitachi Fujitsu Toshiba and other domestic semiconductor leading companies participated. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is working to catch up with the US semiconductor technology.

When talking about graduation and working in Fujitsu, Sato's pride was filled with his face.

In the 1980s, Japanese companies surpassed local American companies in certain areas of semiconductors!

In the public bidding of large IT companies such as HP, Japanese companies defeated American companies in the chip field one after another and received a large number of orders. Fujitsu, where Sato is located, can also be said to have risen step by step. The reason is that for the same chip, Japanese companies not only have better performance than chips produced by American companies, but also have much lower quotations than American companies!

Sato spoke, breathing a long sigh. He said that the 1980s was the heyday of Japanese chip companies. By the mid-1980s, even the former giant Intel had the first loss-making fiscal year in history, because many of its main businesses were attacked by many Japanese companies.

But while talking, Lu Zhou noticed that Sato's emotions seemed to be turning from joy to sorrow.

The next sentence, Sato's words made Lu Zhou fall into an indescribable emotion.

Sato said a lot, from all aspects of his country's economy, such as the housing market and stock market and changes in ordinary people's lives. But no matter how much you hear, it is not as good as the word "platz agreement" and the "US-Japan semiconductor agreement" come in a thrilling way.

It is like what an ordinary Chinese person sees and hears, or is anecdotes of unofficial history. But when he hears it in Lu Zhou's ears, he can also feel the helplessness conveyed by Sato, a middle-aged man.

Sato did not stop his words. He continued the topic.

At that time, South Korea was also the target market for American semiconductor companies, and the strategies adopted by American companies were mostly similar to those of the Japanese market, and they exchanged for the domestic semiconductor market in South Korea with backward technology. Sato said that when he was still at Fujitsu, he had to receive countless Korean corporate groups every day. He used to "kneel" in front of him, but he didn't expect that one day the other party would have a momentum.

Or it is due to the situation.

By the late 1980s, under the influence of the United States, South Korea had already shown a vague rise in the semiconductor field. But Fujitsu, where Sato was located, also made it clear that the semiconductor business had been declining after its glory.

It was at that time that Sato left Japan and went to work at Samsung. He smiled, drank a sip of wine, and said this, several times his salary in China, and everything he had to go to Korea was fully arranged. With only him as the pillar at home, he had to choose to go to Korea.

Speaking of Samsung's glory in the semiconductor industry in the last century, Sato was no longer as emotional as before. Although he was a man in the game, he acted like an outsider.

Samsung in the 1990s was like a bull in the field of semiconductors, especially memory semiconductors, from surpassing Toshiba's memory semiconductor production to developing the latest technology on the market...

A storm was underestimated by the old Japanese man. Maybe he had witnessed some scenes in the South Korea where he lived at that time, but he was not in his own country, and maybe many of them could only be heard later.

In this storm that swept across Asia, many American investors took advantage of the momentum to enter Samsung, which was the lowest point in the low tide.

Sato did not say the ending, and Lu Zhou did not ask.

In this way, between drinking and drinking, the long story came to an end. Although Ye Qingchen beside her didn't say it, she looked a little bored looking at her expression.

Lu Zhou stood up and took the bill, and said to Sato, "Mr. Sato, if you give you several times the salary of Samsung, would you consider changing your company?"

Sato also laughed, "Maybe. Asami speaks Chinese more fluently than Japanese, and sometimes I feel sad about this. But seeing that she smiles happily every day, there seems to be nothing wrong with it."

Lu Zhou smiled. What he said was recruiting was nothing more than half true. After all, people only knew each other for a few hours, and even if they wanted to dig, they would have to take some investigation. And he listened to Sato's words, which was of a different meaning.

He is a wonderful person, Lu Zhou thought.

The two of them left a contact information, and there was nothing else to say.
