Since being caught by the United States eight years ago, Toshiba has been unable to do anything in the past few years. Huge fines are nothing. With the help of crazy real estate and stock markets, Toshiba can easily solve the problem.

However, the impact of the restrictions was far-reaching, and coupled with the rise in the yen exchange rate, Toshiba was shocked to find that the home appliances, precision instruments, machinery and other equipment they relied on for survival could no longer be sold in the international market...

Money, money...

They need money!

Semiconductors are also a major strategy for Toshiba, but they don't have much money to invest in semiconductors!

Japan, like the United States, established an alliance of semiconductor companies in the past, relying on the power of the state to integrate the R\u0026D capabilities of semiconductor companies, and gain advantages in semiconductor R\u0026D through huge subsidies.

They succeeded!

But it also failed.

Because his father stopped letting them play like this, although his father followed them and established a semiconductor industry alliance.

"How to get Toshiba out of its predicament and regain its glory!" became the biggest problem facing President Kumaji Ohta.

And Fred brought a purchase plan of US$1.5 billion, which made Da Tianxiong's eyes shine.

Ohta Kumaji bows, one on the left and one on the right.

They need this order so much.

But!

"Mr. Fred, the multi-cavity high-pressure meteorological deposition furnace is all right, but what is this large five-axis machining center used for? What I understand is that Zhongxun produces semiconductor products. What do they need this for?"

Fred frowned slightly and said, "President Da Tian, ​​this involves business secrets."

"..."

Batumi was disbanded and no new rules came into power. Although some countries still have domestic laws or approvals, Japan follows Eagle Sauce and they do not have special approval procedures.

However, Toshiba had suffered losses after all with the five-axis machining center. In order to reassure Ohta Kumaji, Fred came up with a contract, which was a purchase list with the Rennes Precision Instrument Factory in France.

"President Ota, Ren also sold instruments, machine tools, and large reactors with the same functions. Are you sure Toshiba wants to give up this business?"

"..."

Ohta Kumaji is still afraid!

They sold it to Mao Xiong, a large five-axis machining center, but didn’t anyone else sell it?

"Is there any law stopping you?"

No, buying and selling is very free now. There are even restrictions on nuclear technology, core semiconductor technology, precision processing technology, etc. There are no restrictions on equipment.

Ota Kumaji said: "Toshiba can do any legal business!"

This is agreed!

Fred said: "The equipment on the list has a delivery period of three months, and you can pay 80% of the purchase price in advance!"

"no problem!"

Toshiba's warehouse still has a lot of goods!

Fred said: "There are still some things, let my assistant talk to you!"

Ota Kumaji is a bit confused!

Fred left first, and Huang Qingxing behind him came on stage and said to Kumaji Ohta in fluent Japanese: "President Ohta, is Toshiba interested in entering the mobile phone field?"

Ota Kumaji understood it as soon as he heard it. He asked: "Zhongxun is willing to transfer WCDMA technology to Toshiba?"

WCDMA technology is undoubtedly the most popular technology in the world, accounting for more than 90% of the world's market, while gsm has almost no market except for a few countries in Europe.

Toshiba is very willing to join in this technology, but no one takes them to play with it!

"How much money do you need?" Ohta Kumaji was both excited and nervous. The technology was readily available, but the price, perhaps, was something Toshiba simply couldn't afford.

Huang Qingxing said: "No money, we need Toshiba's five-axis machining center, Toshiba's hard disk, and CD drive production technology!"

Ota Xiongji said nothing, frowning slightly, thinking.

Hard drives and CDs are nothing to Toshiba. The technologies of Philips and IBM are not inferior to Toshiba, but the five-axis machining center is very sensitive. Everyone knows what it is used for!

"President Ohta, to be honest, we can also buy this kind of technology elsewhere. Toshiba is nothing special in these three fields!"

In any single aspect, Toshiba is not the best in the world.

But in WCDMA communication technology, Zhongxun has become the best in the world!

Ota Kumaji thought about it again and again, but still said: "This is not enough, we hope to obtain SMIC's copper wire connection processing technology!"

"..."

When the news came back to China News, Zhao Guoqing shook his head: "Toshiba is really a lion!"

The value of communication technology plus copper wire connection semiconductor technology is definitely greater than that of a five-axis machining center.

But with whom to compare.

If this were exchanged with any American company, they would have been slapped in the face.

But compared with today's Huaguo, this high-precision five-axis machining center is too important.

Zhao Guoqing said to Director Pang: "Zhongxun has suffered a big loss. This transaction has allowed us to cultivate a strong competitor!"

The small five-axis machining center is used by Zhongxun, but the large five-axis machining center is not used at all. In order to deceive others, Zhongxun also set up a precision machining factory. Although this factory received state subsidies, there is no need for Zhongxun to produce it. what money.

Jinling Machine Tool Factory was also sold by the state to Zhongxun Technology for 5 million yuan. This will be the future production base of five-axis machining centers.

When Zhao Guoqing spoke, Director Pang was also hesitant. He asked: "Will technology transfer affect our technological advantages? Didn't Motorola accept our technology?"

Zhao Guoqing said: "It will take time to form a technological advantage, but it is always a trouble for Toshiba to obtain our technology!"

Do it or not?

Sure?

The technology of the five-axis machining center is definitely required, but the technology transfer involved in each sub-item is complicated, and Zhao Guoqing is not willing to be cheated.

And it must be fast!

Of course, he also needs some support from Toshiba.

For example, on technical standards!

"Toshiba supports the DDR memory technology standard submitted by VIA!"

"Toshiba supports PCI bus technology!"

"Toshiba hard drive will support SATA standard interface!"

"Toshiba home appliances plan to use ARMv3 embedded processors!"

Toshiba's series of announcements have shaken up the microcomputer industry.

After AMD, Zhongxun Standard has another victory.

This is also the most tangible benefit that Zhongxun has gained.

For example, the hard disk and PCI bus no longer need to stick to the old and weak IDE parallel port.

Just when the Western industry was speculating on why Toshiba was rebelling, Toshiba announced its entry into the WCDMA mobile communications field, and everyone understood.

"This is unfair!" Li Jianxi felt very hurt.

Zhongxun stopped technical assistance to Samsung, and Samsung also controlled the country and banned the sale of Zhongxun mobile phones.

This is a country of narrow-minded people who always think others are discriminating against them.

They assume a superior position and hope to gain the respect of others.

And the technology they have been obsessed with has now been acquired by Toshiba!
