Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 123: CPU attracts

   The current president of Sharp, Asahi Saeki, is the second-generation management core who took over from the founder Tokuji Hayakawa. He took office in 1970.

   In the same year, Sharp changed its name from Hayakawa Electric Co., Ltd. to Sharp Co., Ltd., and established a comprehensive development center in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, and began producing large-scale integrated circuits.

   Tang Huan's visits at this level will naturally be received by the president of Sharp.

   Asahi Saeki was born in 1917. He entered Sharp as early as 1931. From an apprentice to today's high position, he is an absolute old courtier with very high prestige.

  The future third-generation president Haruo Tsuji and the fourth-generation president Katsuhiko Machida are respectively in-laws or relatives with Saeki Asahi, and the fifth-generation president Mikio Katayama’s father is his close friend.

   Therefore, although the surnames of the past presidents of Sharp are different, in fact it is still a "family management" structure similar to inbreeding. The survival crisis that Sharp encountered in the second decade of the 21st century in the past life may not have nothing to do with the resulting disease of large enterprises.

   However, this also has an advantage. Tang Huan and Sharp will be relatively easy to deal with. Anyway, the other party will have to wait for decades to die, and he doesn't need to worry about being dragged down.

   The Japanese are very efficient in doing things, and Tang Huan is also unambiguous. After the greeting, he immediately started to visit.

This process is also an opportunity for Sharp to show its strength, but Tang Huan can’t help it. No matter how good you are, the electronic products you produce can’t be compared with the integration of smart phones. In that era, it was Sharp’s LCD screen. The business has lost billions of dollars in the sad reminder stage.

   But it is undeniable that the development of Sharp with a civilian background is really a step by step, which is very worth learning.

Its earliest product can be traced back to the metal belt buckle invented by Tokuji Hayakawa-the Tokuo button, and then the mechanical pencil, the brand is "Ever-SharpPencil", whichever means "the pen core can be kept sharp without sharpening", SHARP The trademark is derived from this.

The Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 destroyed Tokuji Hayakawa’s foundation, but he finally made a comeback and began to produce radios, televisions, microwave ovens, calculators, solar cells and silicon photoelectric conversion elements, liquid crystal displays, and semiconductors step by step. Large-scale integrated circuits, etc., can be said to be getting higher and higher, and it is natural to OEM digital fax machines and optimize them.

Sasaki, who was a supporter of Sun Zhengyi and supported his invention of the electronic translation machine, was also among the entourage. Tang Huan had a special chat with him. Japan is a society of personal love, and some seemingly insignificant interpersonal relationships, maybe Can play an unexpected role.

   After visiting the TV production line, Tang Huan raised the topic of cooperating with Saeki Xu to produce CRT monitors during the break. He hoped that his second-generation Fangyuan computer could be equipped with the standard output device of the previous life.

   Under Tang Huan’s description, the veteran Saeki Xu found that this was a big deal and immediately called for a discussion with a technician. However, there are still many differences between CRT monitors and TV sets, and a definite result will not be obtained for a while.

   Tang Huan is not in a hurry. Both parties have intentions. They will send someone to discuss in detail when the time comes. The second purpose of this trip-CRT monitor project cooperation is even achieved.

   After the sky turned the sky, Tang Huan visited the key point of the trip-Sharp's comprehensive development center, and had a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of its semiconductor process. He was quite satisfied, and his purchases could continue to lean here.

   Tang Huan has always wanted to design and put into production a general-purpose CPU completely in his hands in the East, and at this stage, Japan is almost the only place that meets the technical requirements.

   So Tang Huan mentioned the third purpose of the trip, but he was disappointed when inquiring. At present, Sharp is at the level of calculators in terms of chip design.

   That's it, the official business coming to Osaka is basically finished.

During the Second World War, Osaka was crowded with munitions factories, so it was repeatedly attacked by the US military. The entire city was turned into a sea of ​​flames and almost turned into ruins. Many historical buildings disappeared. Although there are some imitations, Tang Huan feels boring. , Intends to go directly to Kyoto, after the last time I went to Nintendo to dig people, to visit the old place again.

   Of course, he also has a work schedule. If conditions permit, he will meet with Kyocera’s founder Kazuo Inamori.

Seeing Tang Huan, the gleaming God of Wealth in Silicon Valley, was about to leave, Zuo Boxu immediately became anxious. The significance of the CPU is self-evident. Although Sharp’s current technology can’t keep up, the intention of cooperation can be reached first. Slowly, after all, We already have a pretty good relationship.

   So Asahi Saeki tried his best to stay. You are not satisfied with the view of Osaka, but there are many other fun things.

   Your Excellency is so young, don’t you plan to enjoy the exotic atmosphere and find a Japanese soft girl to accompany you?

  What, you already have beauty with you.

   It’s okay, there is food. There is a popular Japanese proverb, "Kyoto people go bankrupt for clothes, and Osaka people go bankrupt for food." We can satisfy your appetite.

   Tang Huan smiled and tactfully refused. The cooperation is still close. It is inevitable to move around. Let's talk about it next time.

No, Saeki hastily continued to stay. He muttered in his heart that business opportunities are fleeting. See how you said CPU is so sensible. Maybe when you come next time, you have already sat with another company and won him. Home now.

Sharp attaches so much importance to Tang Huan that this year’s 80-year-old founder Tokuji Hayakawa has personally appeared. Tang Huan can’t help being moved. This industrialist and inventor who has struggled from the grassroots to the head of a company, According to the historical trajectory, he returned to the west in June this year, and his physical condition can be imagined. I have to say that the Japanese are really good at fighting.

   Tokuji Hayakawa was born in a family of a small fruit vendor in 1893. At that time, Japan had not passed the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese War and rapidly advanced its industrial revolution. The people at the bottom lived in poverty, as was the case with the Hayakawa family.

   Because of his meager income, Tokuji Hayakawa, who was more than 1 year old, was given to someone else to be an adopted child, and he entered a factory when he was under 10 years old.

   The Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 not only destroyed Tokuji Hayakawa’s hard-working industry, but also severely damaged his family.

   There were three famous women in the Taisho era: Kujo Takeko, Yanagahara Hakuren, and Eki Xinxin, who were known as the three Taisho beauties.

   It is said that Shinbashi geisha Shinxin Eki, who is quite famous in social circles, is the older sister of Tokuji Hayakawa.

When    shook hands with Toku Hayakawa, Tang Huan looked at each other curiously. If he didn't come to this time and space, he wouldn't have this archeological opportunity to see a real person. It's hard to imagine the hardships and brilliance experienced by this twilight old man.

   Tokuji Hayakawa, the founder of Sharp,’s pursuit of advanced technology can even be described as stubborn.

   This attitude has affected every high-level of Sharp. Accordingly, as a whole, Sharp will inevitably lose flexibility in market operations. The crisis brought about by the LCD industry in the future can reflect this phenomenon from the side.

   Now that he is playing, it means that Sharp’s pursuit of CPU has reached the highest point.

   Compared with the light car Jane Tang Huan who only has Yaskawa Hidezhao's attendant, Sharp's movement is much more, and the high-level people are dispatched, obediently following Hayakawa Tokuji.

Seeing this situation, Tang Huan thought about it. As the founder of the country, Tokuji Hayakawa naturally had supreme authority in the decisions he made. In addition, the second-generation president Asahi Saeki was also keen on the semiconductor industry. After a few months, I will leave it and we can ensure that we can mobilize enough resources to develop and produce CPUs, so we don’t have to worry about giving up halfway.

Since the other party’s posture is so full, Tang Huan naturally has to show the value of being worthy of such courtesy. Compared with the previous point when talking about CPU, what he said now is much deeper, even the latest design that has just emerged. The concept-the simplified instruction set, namely RISC, has been elaborated in detail, and the eyes of Sharp and the crowd are shining with small gold stars.

It turns out that in that time and space, the Loongson developed by the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences belongs to RISC. All the patents, buses, and instruction set licenses for its processors come from MIPS Technologies, namely Maples Technology Co., Ltd., and the MIPS architecture appeared as early as 1981. Tang Huan naturally wouldn't let it be more beautiful than the former.

Looking at the aging Tokuji Hayakawa, Tang Huan finally said slowly: "As long as the resources are sufficient, the prototype should be available in one year. Under the current production process, the finished product The execution efficiency is enough to outstrip the crowd."

   Of course, I also need brother's compiler and other system software to support it. Tang Huan will not say this post trick.

"You may have a question. Why isn't this technology directly implemented in Silicon Valley, USA? I bluntly say that because its execution efficiency is enough to trigger various controls brought by political factors, I don't want to let my own efforts become a politician. We negotiated the price, so we have to find a partner in the East." Tang Huan said~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can guarantee that sufficient resources will be provided to develop this kind of CPU. I hope Mr. Tang will spend a few more days in Osaka. , Let's talk more about it. "Hayakawa Tokuji's face was full of eagerness.

   "The respected Hayakawa-senpai spoke. How dare I not praise it, and just taste the delicious food of Osaka." Tang Huan agreed and naturally couldn't go to Kyoto.

   Sharp’s thoughtful hospitality made Tang Huan's life very moist, and it soon came February 13, which is the twenty-seventh lunar month of the lunar calendar.

   Zhao Yazhi didn't dare to stay with him anymore. He had accumulated a lot of work and family affairs, and he would be scolded if he didn't return to Xiangjiang.

   "I'm in a hurry, I have already bought the ticket, and I will take you on the plane tomorrow." Tang Huan joked while looking at the information while sitting on the sofa.

   "Then you said it earlier, the delay made me feel like grass grows in my heart." Zhao Yazhi, who was packing his suitcase, gave Tang Huan a roll of eyes.

   "It's funny." As soon as Tang Huan's voice fell, Zhao Yazhi smiled and threw his newly bought ** on his head.

The two were flirting and yelling. The phone rang. Tang Huan picked it up. It turned out that it was from Zhou Mi, "Boss Huo has taken a fancy to one of your projects, so you should go back to Xiangjiang for a face-to-face talk. "

   "He builds a house, and I sell computers. I don't want to connect with them. What project will arouse his interest?" Tang Huan couldn't help being stunned.

   "It's just to build a house. From the U.S., you can talk more about it when you come back. I'm about to meet a retail investor who has Wharf stocks in his hands, first." Zhou Mi hung up the phone hastily.
