Yoshikawa Atsunori and his wife bowed and said: "Hello, Mr. Bai! This is Yoshikawa Atsunori. Please give me your advice when we meet for the first time!"

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Yoshikawa! Thank you for your kind invitation and your intrusion!"

Yoshikawa Atsunori is a man about 30 years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a sincere smile on his face. He said: "It is an honor for my Yoshikawa family to invite Mr. Bai to be a guest, please!"

Atsushi Yoshikawa guided Bai Zirui into the villa, and Bai Zirui walked up the stone steps and walked through a courtyard. Atsushi Yoshikawa lifted the door curtain of a room, and Bai Zirui stepped into the house. He saw about forty or fifty square meters.

Like this, two long tables are placed on the left and right sides respectively.

Yoshikawa Atsunori asked Bai Zirui to sit down at the long table on the left and signaled to his wife that the food could be served. Soon, a Japanese girl in a kimono began to serve the food. The first one was served salmon salad dressing, which was made from the finest fresh ingredients.

The salmon is marinated in sauce and is delicious and fragrant, leaving a fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Another girl who was sitting quietly poured a glass of Ju Zhengzong sake for Bai Zirui. Ju Zhengzong sake is a famous sake in Japan. It has a history of more than 300 years. It uses the traditional raw wine brewing method and has a light fruity taste.

fragrant.

The cuisine of Japan is famous for its "eye food". Each dish looks pleasing to the eye, but the portion is very small, which is a kind of torture for gluttons. Fortunately, Bai Zirui's attention is not focused on eating.

.

Atsunori Yoshikawa asked: "Mr. Bai, what do you think of the development of the semiconductor industry?"

After the initial pleasantries, the two finally got down to business. Atsushi Yoshikawa did not ask Bai Zirui about video game consoles, but instead asked about the semiconductor industry.

Before Bai Zirui's soul was revealed, the global semiconductor industry was already a huge industry with a total output value of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, of which Intel's annual revenue was as high as 68 billion U.S. dollars.

Bai Zirui thought for a moment and said: "Yoshikawa-kun, we are in an era of change. Information electronics will enter human daily life faster and faster. Semiconductors are the cornerstone of the modern electronics industry. I am very optimistic about the future of the semiconductor industry.

develop.

In the past, we used chips in radios and televisions, but in recent years, new generation technology companies represented by Apple are simplifying large computers that were previously limited to military and scientific research into a small household appliance and bringing them into our daily lives.

middle.

On the latest Apple Lisa computer, you can use spreadsheet office software to create your company's financial statements, and you can modify them at any time. After you finish them, you can print them out at any time with a printer connected to your computer!

As personal PCs become more and more perfect, in five or ten years, PCs may become as popular as televisions. At that time, it will be a blowout period for the semiconductor industry!

Compared to the immature PC market, I am more optimistic about the rapidly expanding electronic game console market. Large-scale arcade machines are rapidly replacing old-fashioned pinball machines and other game equipment, appearing in bars, convenience stores, grocery stores, and movie theaters.

area, becoming a new favorite to attract crowds to stop.

Many specialized arcade game arcades have begun to appear in large numbers on the streets of Japanese cities. Even though the arcades are small, the air inside is turbid, and the smell of tobacco and sweat is mixed, they still cannot resist the interested players.

Among the people pouring into the game hall are students who have just finished school, unkempt unemployed people, and middle-level white-collar workers in suits and ties. This is a rising sunrise industry!"

Yoshikawa Atsunori said with emotion: "Chatting with Bai Jun really benefited me a lot! To tell you the truth, I previously studied electrical engineering at an American university and worked at a wafer fab owned by Scolin Co., Ltd. (Deans)

I was the one who made it happen!

However, compared with large companies such as Hitachi, Toshiba, and NEC, the technology and management level of our new factory are far from adequate, and the yield rate is relatively low, which results in high costs and the price of the chips produced is no cheaper than those purchased from outside.

!”

Bai Zirui smiled and said nothing. The semiconductor industry also has a nickname called "half-inverted body". Many wafer factories went bankrupt due to excessive losses before they could reach their maximum production capacity.

Bai Zirui said bluntly: "Yoshikawa-kun, haven't you ever considered entering the electronic game console industry? In my opinion, your company's industrial structure is very suitable for the production of arcade machines. Moreover, an arcade machine requires a large number of chips, which can greatly alleviate the problem."

The difficulties faced by your company’s wafer fabs!”

Yoshikawa Atsunori said calmly: "Bai-kun, our company has never made games. How can we rashly step into an unfamiliar industry?"

Bai Zirui raised his glass and drank it down and asked: "Yoshikawa-kun, have you tried the games I brought?"

Yoshikawa Atsunori praised: "The Great Wall Cube game brought by Shiro-kun is very exciting. It has already caused a sensation within our Scolin Co., Ltd. (Deans). I tried it out in the afternoon and started playing it without knowing it."

Two hours later, I still have a lot to learn!”

He paused and asked jokingly: "Li Jun, are you willing to license the Great Wall Cube game to Deans for production and sales?"

Bai Zirui replied: "Mr. Yoshikawa, I know that I don't speak secretly. The strength of my Dingtian Technology Company is very limited, and the next main focus will be on developing the US market.

If Deans Company intends to enter the arcade game industry, I can authorize the production and sales rights of the Great Wall Cube Game to the Japanese market to your company.

After your company has the Great Wall Cube game to test the waters, it can quickly understand the situation of the game industry and prepare for the establishment of a game development team.

Dingtian Technology Company hopes to receive your company's full support in the production and research and development of arcade motherboards. In my opinion, this is a win-win situation for both of us!" Bai Zirui put forward his conditions openly and honestly.

Atsunori Yoshikawa smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Bai, I appreciate your honesty very much! I originally thought that electronic game consoles were just children's toys. Your company's games conquered me in just a few minutes.

Well, arcade games are really an industry with unlimited potential!

But it is an unfamiliar industry to our company, and we will not rush into this unfamiliar industry, so please rest assured!"

The dinner is still going on. As the girl flips the chopsticks in her hands, a piece of beef covered with snow marbles is gradually cooked in the subtle "squeaking...squeaking..." sound, and a meaty aroma fills the air that makes people move their index fingers.

in the room.

Opposite Bai Zirui, Yoshikawa Atsunori said: "Li Jun, this is a selection of high-quality Kobe beef. Please enjoy it slowly!"

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Yoshikawa-kun, you're welcome!" After saying that, he started to enjoy the food.

After several rounds of testing each other, the two basically figured out each other's sincerity and bottom line, and began to chat about other topics. Yoshikawa Atsushi introduced his life of studying in the United States, and the two had a heated discussion on the differences between Eastern and Western cultures.
