Chapter 563 [Jobs classmates! 】
After talking about LCD monitors, Wu Guangyao turned the topic to the storage;
Wu Guangyao said, "In terms of storage, I think our Lenovo Group has no advantage in fighting alone! After going back this time, President Morita, you go to meet the Japanese cabinet minister and convince the Japanese government to support Japanese manufacturers to enter this field; just like when we snatched the American TV market, we can also expel the United States from the storage market."
Wu Guangyao was not on a whim, but he was raising hatred for Japan;
Historically, this was how Japan did it in the late 1970s;
With government support and unified manufacturers, American semiconductor companies such as Intel were soon expelled from the storage.
Wu Guangyao is not afraid of the United States sanctions on Japanese semiconductors in the future, because Lenovo Group is a joint venture;
Wu Guangyao will even slowly disperse Lenovo Group and reproduce into some Hong Kong semiconductor companies.
However, Wu Guangyao also knows that in the storage field, his real opponent is a Korean manufacturer;
Korean manufacturers are good at ‘price-snatching’, which people call the ‘counter-cycle law’;
In his previous life, Samsung fully utilized the strong cyclical characteristics of the memory industry and relied on the government's blood transfusions to expand production against the trend when prices fell, overproduction and other companies cut investments, and further reduced product prices through large-scale production, thus forcing competitors to withdraw from the market or even go bankrupt directly. This is called the "counter-cyclical law."
In the field of memory, Samsung has implemented a total of three "counter-cycle law". The first two occurred in the mid-1980s and early 1990s respectively, allowing Samsung to start from scratch and become the leader of memory. But Samsung obviously felt that it was not big enough, so it raised the "counter-cycle" butcher knife for the third time around the 2008 financial crisis.
If you rely on low-cost production in the mainland in the future and the strength of the Wu family's trillions of dollars, will you also kill Samsung?
The storage market accounts for about 25% of the semiconductor market, and at its peak, it only had sales of less than US$100 billion a year. Who can play with whom?
Why is Wu Guangyao staring at the storage and LCD screen?
Instead of staring at the processor?
That's because fighting for business with South Korea is far less risky than fighting for business with the United States!
Of course, it is not that Lenovo Group will not enter the processor field, but that it will take a slow step and there will be a priority.
For example, Motorola had developed a mobile phone at this time and the personal computer was in its infancy, but Wu Guangyao was unmoved;
But I just stared at the "spoken doors" such as arcades, TV game consoles, etc.;
It’s not that Wu Guangyao has no strength. As long as Wu Guangyao takes out a lot of funds, American scientists will change jobs in large numbers and it is impossible to develop them;
Things like Microsoft systems and Apple computers are just basic products;
Even if Wu Guangyao doesn’t understand technology, it is not impossible for him to spend tens of millions of dollars in R&D funds to seize the opportunity of Bill Gates and Jobs;
But Wu Guangyao knew that these two cakes were poisonous!
When he heard that Wu Guangyao wanted to use the same trick again, as a participant, Akio Morita immediately felt a kind of honor;
Even tigers cannot withstand the pack of wolves, and Lenovo Group was the wolf king of that time;
In the early 1960s, Lenovo Group spent a full $100 million to acquire Motorola's TV industry;
At that time, people all over the world thought Lenovo Group was crazy!
However, the whole world couldn't help but admire Lenovo Group. It spent 100 million US dollars at that time, but now Lenovo Group can make a profit of 500 million US dollars every year by relying on the TV industry.
"President, please rest assured. I believe the Japanese government is happy to cause such a thing!"
Wu Guangyao nodded. As long as the Japanese government is not stupid, it should lead to this matter!
The first thing the three inspected was the TV Game Console Department. Nolan Bushnell saw the three and greeted them;
"Mr. Bushnell, thank you for your hard work!" Wu Guangyao said appreciatively.
Although he knew that these people had made enough dollars and had a high chance of leaving the company to start a business, Wu Guangyao was still not worried;
A person’s value is limited. When Sony occupys the electronic game market, it will be a pity for anyone to leave!
After all, Wu Guangyao is the real chief designer!
"Boss, two presidents, good morning! I'll take you to visit here!"
There are many engineers in the entire host department, with as many as hundreds of them. These people are all elites from Silicon Valley and elites transferred from Japan.
However, Wu Guangyao will stop slapping him in the face soon!
Wu Guangyao actually saw a young man who was only eighteen or nineteen years old. This made Wu Guangyao think that the Human Resources Department would not recruit a high school student!
Wu Guangyao pretended to walk to the young man who was fiddling with electronic components inadvertently, and said, "It's a very young talent!"
A hint of unnatural flashed across Bushnell's face, because the young man was recruited by himself;
Of course, Bushnell and the young man didn’t know each other, who came by a friend’s recommendation;
Bushnell said: "Jobs loves electronics very much. Boss is not considered young, but his skills are very good!"
Wu Guangyao was stunned at first, and then looked at Jobs who had raised his head seriously;
It’s him, isn’t this the founder of Apple!
"It can be seen that I take technical research and development seriously, and I think I am a master!"
After saying that, Wu Guangyao took the initiative to use his right hand, and Jobs looked at his dirty hands and was a little hesitant;
However, Wu Guangyao was still stopped in the air. Jobs quickly grabbed it lightly and let it go randomly.
"I like boys with dreams! You can see that you really like electronics, Jobs!" Wu Guangyao climbed close to it.
"Thank you for your praise!" Jobs was shy of some technical otakus and said.
Wu Guangyao smiled and turned around and left. He couldn't show too much!
Just an Apple company, even if it cannot become a venture capitalist, it can make hundreds of times the profits in the future when buying stocks in the public market.
After seeing Wu Guangyao leave, Jobs was falsely shocked. He was really afraid that the richest man would ask about his education and experience;
After all, although its electronic technology is good, Sony is a great electronics company. Its technology is probably the lowest in this room; if it weren't for the introduction, Sony would definitely not have given it a chance!
After a round, Wu Guangyao just reminded: "The stability of the TV game console is very important. If there is a problem, it must be recalled in time; although we are the father of electronic games, the market is also filled with a large number of inferior game consoles; so we must take it as a warning."
This is the case with Atari in his previous life, so you must remember the lessons from the past!
Although Bushnell didn't know why Wu Guangyao was like this, he nodded and said: "Boss, don't worry, Sony's inferior game stage has passed. Now our video games are very playable. As for hardware, we are also the company with the largest investment and the best technology."
Wu Guangyao nodded and left the laboratory with satisfaction!
Sony has many flagship products. In addition to the electronic game industry, the second flagship product is Walkman;
However, the Walkman project did not enter Silicon Valley, USA;
However, Sony's other products have set up technical laboratories in Silicon Valley, such as cameras, cameras, and cameras.
The Lenovo Group Silicon Valley Industrial Park has three buildings in total, which are just distributed to Lenovo Electric, Lenovo Electronics, and Sony.
After a round, it took a full day to show off each project team.
