1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan was startled for a moment.

He knows that Sony is currently promoting CCD sensors, and is also vigorously promoting digital cameras and digital camcorders - the latter uses magnetic tape, but the former must use expensive flash memory cards.

Perhaps this is why Sony is eager to return to the "semiconductor industry"?

Su Yuanshan is not a digital enthusiast. Apart from taking experimental photos, he has never taken photos like this... Even if he did, the photos would be like the scene of a ghost movie.

But this does not prevent Su Yuanshan from knowing that in later generations, even though CCD photoreceptors have many advantages, such as color, no one can match them. But in the end, it was killed by CMOS, which is known as "low-end only" - and the popularization of mobile phone cameras played a big role in this.

To use a fashionable metaphor, CCDs are like vinyl records and will eventually be replaced by CD records - or in other words, CD records will eventually be replaced by MP3s.

"I don't have any research in the field of photography, not even interested." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and replied seriously: "But based on my outlook on semiconductor technology, I think that in five years, digital cameras will probably It will become mainstream.”

Kutaragi Ken smiled and nodded, and continued to ask: "I heard you were talking about digital cameras - then can I think that by then, flash memory can become the main storage medium for digital cameras?"

Su Yuanshan was stunned.

This old guy...he cited this circumstantial evidence well.

So Su Yuanshan nodded in order not to slap himself in the face: "Yes, although it will be a bit more expensive, according to our predictions, there should be 64 to 128M flash memory available by then, which should be able to barely meet the needs of digital cameras. "

"This has exceeded the capacity increase of Moore's Law." Kutaragi smiled and said: "So, the key lies in your dual unit technology, right?"

"I can't lie, so... my answer is... yes." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips again and said softly: "You two old foxes are here to trick Yuanxin's technical prospects..."

Kutaragi Ken and Akita Ichiro looked at each other and smiled, and the latter chuckled: "Su-san, I am not old."

Su Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him: "You are much older than me."

"..."

After laughing, Kutaragi Ken continued to think, while looking at Su Yuanshan cautiously.

He knew that although his cooperation with Yuan Xin had made his internal voice louder, it also brought a danger - that is, what if he followed Yuan Xin and went the wrong way? ?

Nowadays, Sony is no longer like the Sony that was founded decades ago and dared to put all its chips on transistor radios.

It is inevitable that when a company becomes big, it will be difficult to turn around.

And "reformers" like him and Akita Ichiro are naturally not liked in an old company.

If his decision and direction are right, that's fine, but if he's wrong...

Kutaragi Ken didn't dare to think about it.

Here, Akita Ichiro stopped talking.

Compared to Kutaragi Ken's caution, he was actually more willing to trust Su Yuanshan unconditionally - because a rational and humane genius was almost impossible to make mistakes.

What's more, all Su Yuanshan's judgments are based on the premise of technical implementation.

Business and market judgments can be wrong, but technology cannot be.

And Su Yuanshan was also thinking.

He wanted to know to what extent these two guys wanted to tie their own interests to Yuanxin.

And he also wanted to know whether these two people really knew that flash memory was the future like him, and understood the saying "Those who get flash memory will win the world."

However, no matter what, the singing and harmony between the two people just now still made him a little impressed. It cannot be said that Jiang is old and spicy, but at least these two people made "arrangements" based on their own intentions.

Su Yuanshan is really a little disappointed when he thinks that Sony's "next generation" successors take him so seriously.

"That's it, Su-san." Kutaragi Ken licked his lips and looked at Su Yuanshan seriously: "I am willing to cooperate more deeply with Yuanxin in various fields. This is not a promise, it is just my personal position and emotion. Expression - this emotion was gradually established after I visited your science and technology park several times."

Su Yuanshan looked stern, put his hands on his waist, and bowed slightly to Kutaragi Ken to express his gratitude.

"Therefore, Akita-kun and I both believe that Yuan Xin will definitely become the king of this land."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much."

Ken Kutaragi laughed: "But at Sony, many cooperations require joint discussions and final decisions. Of course, there are still quite a few people in the company who believe that Yuanxin and Continental will definitely rise."

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded.

But I added something in my mind - that's weird.

Nowadays, ordinary people in Ni country are generally willing to believe in Dengba Daba... As for the mainland, it can only be said that they are racing to enclose the land first. After all, the economic situation of the mainland is there.

And as far as Sony is concerned, its main business and revenue are also in the West. Even the PS market under Ken Kutaragi is all in the West, except for the domestic market.

——It can be seen from this that Kutaragi Ken is willing to believe in Yuan Xin and Dalu in this situation. What a valuable intuition he has.

"So, Su Sang, Akita-kun and I hope that Yuanxin can give us some power to convince the senior management and the board of directors."

After Kutaragi Ken finished speaking, he looked at Su Yuanshan with burning eyes.

Being both in the "Confucian cultural circle", Kutaragi Ken believed that Su Yuanshan could understand his own words.

Su Yuanshan breathed out lightly.

His expression gradually calmed down, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

Of course he understood Kutaragi Ken's words.

The so-called power of a technology company is nothing more than the display of technology.

He hopes that Ken Kutaragi, who is now "pro-China" - or "willing to believe in the mainland", will take charge of Sony in the future.

But listening to Kutaragi Ken’s words, it seems that his voice in Sony is not enough and his support is not enough.

As Ken Kutaragi who "attempts to reverse the direction of Sony's giant ship to the mainland in the future," the most fundamental thing for him to gain support lies in the performance of Yuanxin.

Yuanxin cannot always take advantage of Sony, nor can it always rely on Sony to help the poor.

After thinking about this, Su Yuanshan's brows gradually relaxed.

"I promise you that we will achieve barrier-free authorization in NAND flash memory technology in the future. If you can continue to invest, then we are willing to work with you on research and development."

"Besides... we can also work together in other areas."

"for example?"

"For example, the Internet and games."
