Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Founded in 1946, the Japan Science and Technology Alliance aims to help companies do a good job and continuously improve quality management.

In 1951, it was named after Edwards Deming, an American quality management expert, and established the Deming Award, which is awarded annually to individuals or companies that have made significant improvements in quality management.

After the war, the Japanese economy rose rapidly, and statistical process control and total quality management were considered to be important boosters.

In other words, the quality of Japanese electronic products, ranging from small resistors and capacitors that do not attract attention, to TV refrigerators that are so large that users can directly see and touch them, has sufficient quality assurance.

This is also the main reason why Tang Huan dared to replace American semiconductor components with Japanese semiconductor components.

Facts have also proved that, at least up to now, the Fangyuan computer and Xiaobawang game console that use Japanese semiconductor components have not been cheated in terms of hardware quality.

Tang Huan planned to choose two suppliers to undertake this order after all the bidders showed their cards.

However, many Japanese semiconductor companies gathered in Baodao, and the commotion became a bit big.

When Tang Huan, who was served refreshed by Lin Fengjiao, appeared the next day, officials from the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park Administration Bureau headed by He Yici, as well as representatives from relevant departments, had been waiting for a long time.

Tang Huan remained expressionless, and after listening to what they said for a while, he just wanted to use this opportunity to attract Japanese companies to settle in the Science and Technology Park.

It's really united to seek development, Tang Huan muttered in his heart, but he also believed that Baodao did have a certain foundation in semiconductors.

Compared with the technical blockade suffered by the mainland, the technical exchange environment on Baodao is much more relaxed.

In 1976, a non-governmental research institution with an official color, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, signed a technology authorization contract with RCA, the Radio Corporation of America, and successfully introduced semiconductor process technology. In 1977, Baosteel was established The island's first 4-inch wafer semiconductor demonstration factory.

In the previous life, the chip provider of counterfeit mobile phones in mainland China was the well-known MediaTek. Its old owner, Lianhua Electronics, was derived from this. Although it was made the second in the millennium by TSMC, which appeared later, Lianhua Electronics lived up to its name. Taiwan's first professional semiconductor manufacturing company.

Tang Huan is naturally willing to do this for the beauty of an adult, and barriers such as technological blockades also need to be patiently broken down step by step.

I can understand everyone's ambitions, and I will cooperate with them. First of all, I would like to invite Japanese semiconductor companies to visit Zheru and the Science and Technology Park. If the opportunity is right, I will also use investment and construction of factories as a reference for cooperation. In short , Hello, hello everyone. Tang Huan agreed happily.

The next schedule is to meet representatives of major semiconductor companies one by one. The main purpose of both parties is to take advantage of this contact to get a preliminary understanding and prepare for the subsequent negotiations and competition.

In addition to the manufacturing process, process, yield rate and price of the memory, Tang Huan and these Japanese talked about another common topic, whether they are interested in becoming the second supplier of microprocessors such as MC68000, Intel8086 and MOS6502.

Among the 16-bit CPUs, MC68000 is excellent, but Motorola is destined to focus on communication technology in the future, and the MC68000 series of CPUs will be weak in succession.

As for Intel8086,

After IBM selected it as the only CPU for the chess project IBM-PC, it was inevitable to require it to have a second source of supply.

In the previous life, Intel authorized AMD, but after it decided to make processors its main business, it tore up the contract. Although AMD sued for decades and finally got compensation, it has been unable to shake Intel's monopoly position. up.

Although MOS6502 is just a cheap 8-bit CPU, it is still widely used for a long time.

For example, the Xiaobawang game console is different from the Atari 2600. The CPU used by the latter is a simplified version of MOS6502 with only 13 memory address pins - MOS6507. The former is not so conservative and directly uses MOS6502, and Fangyuan Computers are the same.

Therefore, the demand for MOS6502 is very strong.

But there is a worry, the manufacturer of MOS6502 was acquired by Commodore, and this company is also selling personal computers using MOS6502, and it is also relying on this convenience to fight price wars.

In order to cope with this kind of rogue behavior, the only two secondary supply sources for MOS6502 at present - Rockwell International, Rockwell International and Synertek, it is difficult to play a check and balance role.

It is precisely based on the above reasons that Tang Huan hopes to bring in Japanese semiconductor companies early. On the one hand, he can protect his own hardware products, and on the other hand, he can also attract a sufficient amount of firepower from his American counterparts. Technology introduced to Asia.

It can be said that Tang Huan's scheming has always been somewhat sloppy.

The representatives are full of confidence in the production of memory and MOS6502, but the two new processors, MC68000 and Intel8086, make them have a lot of doubts. It is estimated that it will cost a lot to obtain the license of the second supply source, and Technical risks are also difficult to control.

Regarding this, Tang Huan was noncommittal. The so-called observation is to see how the small calculations of various families are being pulled at this time.

In terms of funds, the Japanese are not short of money now. As for technology, in the previous life, the two classic CPUs, MC68000 and Intel 8086, were almost used as standard references by various textbooks. I can completely help the Japanese overcome technical difficulties. The production conditions, quality control and other resources in the hands of the other party are not available to Tang Huan.

As long as huge benefits are generated, it will be difficult for Japan to let go of counterfeit products, and the semiconductor war between it and the United States will definitely become more intense, and it will be able to advance and retreat freely in the cracks.

In order to show that as long as you are able to produce products, I promise to eat all of them, Tang Huan arranged for the representatives of these Japanese semiconductor companies to visit Zheru's factory.

The cycle of next-generation products using MC68000 and Intel 8086 is coming soon. Everyone, it doesn't matter if the market in the past has not caught up, but don't miss the opportunity in front of you. Tang Huan confidently looked at the dozens of people around him one by one. A little Japan in a suit and leather shoes.

Everyone nodded and said yes, and promised to report the latest situation to the headquarters as soon as possible.

If a memory and microprocessor factory can be built in this park, it will undoubtedly be more convenient to control costs. You may wish to refer to this suggestion. As for the sincerity of the park, I believe you have already felt it. Tang Huan naturally did not forget to promise in advance Help attract investment.

Originally, the procurement bidding process was trivial, but now that Taiwan's high-tech industry development demands have been added, the whole negotiation has become more complicated. Tang Huan had to attend many seemingly boring activities, otherwise there would be no trust and sincerity.

This afternoon, Tang Huangang, who was staying in the office, finished a new round of negotiations with representatives of Toshiba Semiconductor, and then received a call from Lin Qingxia, asking if he could help.

Tell me, it's better to go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan, otherwise I won't be able to show my skills. Tang Huan readily agreed.

That's not enough. Lin Qingxia chuckled, and her tone was a bit twitchy, This task may seem boring, but I really can't think of a more suitable candidate than you.

No matter how boring it is, it's more interesting than the business negotiation I had with Little Japan just now. Tang Huan took a sip of tea and joked casually, I feel that you are very embarrassed to speak up, don't you want me to pretend to be your man? Friends, help you deal with problems such as drinking off suitors.

That's the thing. I don't know how to say it. I didn't expect you to guess it. Tang Huan pointed out his intentions, Lin Qingxia did not hesitate to speak, and readily admitted.

That's so accurate, it seems that I have the potential to be a fortune teller. Tang Huan laughed loudly, Who is the other party, Qin Han or Qin Xianglin, or a new admirer?

You are a big boss anyway, can you stop gossiping like others. Lin Qingxia was a little displeased, Let's just say that you promise to help.

Yes, why not? I've been talking about business in the same way for the past few days. It's terribly boring. I just want to have some fun and relax. Tang Huan replied with great interest.

This is no fun. Since your attitude is so insincere, I'd better find someone else. Lin Qingxia seemed angry.

Seeing that the other party was made angry by him, Tang Huan quickly made amends, Okay, blame me for not being serious, tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you to complete this task.

Let's meet and talk. Lin Qingxia sighed, seeming really troubled.

Putting down the phone, Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then picked up the phone again and told his subordinates to arrange a good car for him.

Shi Chongtang just walked in and asked in surprise, What about the next negotiation?

Go out and deal with it. These Japanese are well versed in negotiating skills and strictly abide by the work process. We shouldn't be too proactive. Hurrying up is not a business. Tang Huan waved his hand impatiently, Observe for a while , Touch their hole cards, I'll go out to do some private business.

Shi Chongtang nodded in agreement, and watched Tang Huan go out.

...

Tang Huan met Lin Qingxia at Ximending Pedestrian Street. Seeing him take off his mask, Tang Huan was obviously disappointed, so he asked, Why does it seem so sentimental?

It was here that I was discovered by scouts and entered the showbiz. So many years have passed in a flash, time really flies. Lin Qingxia recounted lightly.

Are you making up your mind to emigrate to the United States? Tang Huan tentatively asked.

Can you stop being so smart? Lin Qingxia gave Tang Huan a blank look.

This has nothing to do with IQ. You are so emotional at such a young age, so you will naturally think of it. Tang Huan smiled, but he was muttering in his heart. When a woman is in trouble, she instinctively chooses to escape, let alone you in the previous life. That's it.

Your guess is so accurate, then drive and show me around, anyway, there is still some time before the party tonight. Lin Qingxia made the request without hesitation.

No problem. Tang Huan readily agreed, turned the steering wheel, and left the intersection of the pedestrian street.
