Rebirth of the Tech Madman

On the flight from Baodao to Tokyo, Japan, Tang Huan held a pen to write and draw. This has become his habit. Whenever he has free time, he will write some core codes and process design diagrams, and then hand them over to his engineers. Brothers, for reference, after all, Tang Huan's technological leadership at this time is not an exaggeration to describe it as far-sighted.

This plane is the famous Boeing 747. Many powerful civil aviation companies are vigorously introducing this type of aircraft. Passengers sit in the first-class cabin and can work while resting.

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

When the stewardess brought the drinks, Tang Huan nodded, looking at the slim figure leaving, he couldn't help thinking of Lin Fengjiao, so a knowing smile appeared on his face.

During his stay in Baodao, he and Lin Fengjiao had dinner together several times, so 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, which can be said to be conscientious.

Tang Huan originally wanted to ask her to accompany him on a trip to Japan as an excuse of gratitude, but this conservative and traditional woman considered it again and again, and finally refused, looking wary as if she was worried that she would eat her. Of course, Tang Huan really planned that in his heart.

The next time we meet, the heat should be almost over, there can be no further delay, Tang Huan thought in his heart.

As far as I am concerned, although beautiful women are not a scarce resource, if they are pleasing to the eye, then they are hard to come by, and it is better to put them in the house as early as possible.

Picking up the cup and taking a few sips, 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.

Originally, Seiko Epson, whose main business was watches, found that printers were so powerful, and immediately took advantage of the opportunity to expand their ambitions, and frequently contacted Zheru. Especially after learning that Tang Huan had arrived in Asia, he acted more urgently and strongly invited He came to Japan for a high-level contact to discuss future cooperation.

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

Therefore, Tang Huan squeezed Epson without mercy, and most of the profits of the printer fell into Zheru's pocket.

Of course, the Japanese are not stupid, but the United States is the market they value most and try their best to develop, and the mainstream business philosophy of this period is to win market share. Be well-behaved, warm and polite.

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

You know, before inkjet printers are commercially available, dot matrix printers are a hen that can lay golden eggs, and Epson has a leading edge in technology in this field.

Of course, it was precisely because of this that Epson was too obsessed with dot matrix printers and suffered a lot. It missed the best opportunity for the development of inkjet printers, and it turned the tide after a lot of trouble.

However, Tang Huan's plan for the acquisition 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 obstructed by the Hattori family.

It seems that we can only draw it slowly,

Tang Huan raised his glass and drank all the remaining drinks.

...

Chiyoda District, Tokyo, Japan, Akihabara.

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

Sun Zhengyi was handling his company's affairs in Japan, and Tang Huan, who wanted 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 was thoughtful.

In the 1980s, because of the hot sales of Nintendo's red and white machines, various games and related stores were booming in Akihabara.

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

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

I haven't been here for long. Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, beckoning the other party to get into the car together, and asked by the way, Are you picking a game console suitable for the American market?

Yes, after all, the cooperation project with Sharp will always come to an end. I want to find some ways to make money. But compared with Zheru's thriving business, this business is really a little childish.

Sun Zhengyi smiled bitterly. It can be seen that this person has a big heart and has higher requirements for the accumulation of venture capital.

Seeing Sun Zhengyi's talent in selling game consoles, Tang Huan's heart moved, and he said, I just encountered a good opportunity, maybe we can cooperate in the future.

Japanese companies are relatively grouped together, and the game market is even more closed. This can be seen from the fact that the famous online game World of Warcraft did not set up an exclusive server in the Japanese region in the previous life. This kind of discrimination has not yet developed a local communication, which should be a useful wedge.

Is it software for personal computers? It is indeed a good business, but it may take some time for Japan to reach the level of popularity of microcomputers like the United States. Sun Zhengyi showed a regretful look on his face.

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

Sun Zhengyi quickly lifted his spirits and laughed, Actually, Zheru's business method has given me a different view. It turns out that apart from all kinds of electronic hardware that can be seen and touched, simple Software can do the same.”

Tang Huan nodded in agreement. In addition to his tenacity, Sun Zhengyi really has a keen sense of smell in capturing 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 the software are bound to increase.

Hearing that Tang Huan agreed with his idea, Sun Zhengyi was very excited, I promised my mother that I would return to Japan as soon as I graduated. Tell me, what kind of name should the new company I establish be given.

Tang Huan rolled his eyes and said with a meaningful smile: In my opinion, it's better to call it Softbank, SoftBank, software warehouse, software bank, no matter how you explain it, it is very prestigious.

Hearing this proposal, Sun Zhengyi's eyes lit up, It really is a good name, I guess Mr. Tang originally prepared it for one of his subsidiaries, then I will not be polite, just use it directly, don't regret it.

Tang Huan smiled and said nothing. According to the original historical development, Softbank would not be established until 1981. I don't know what kind of effect it will play if I push it like this.

Soon, the car stopped and their destination arrived.
