Chapter 329: Becoming the Touched Party
Su Yuanshan immediately looked at Akita Ichiro in surprise.
If it is classified according to the priority of Yuanxin, the priority of flash memory is actually not high - but it involves future-oriented storage devices. Therefore, when Li Mingliu decided to hand over the CPU and instead focused on entering the flash memory field, Su Yuanshan felt a little guilty about him.
After all, flash memory is an industry that will not be able to see large-scale applications in the next three to five years. This means that Li Mingliu will be silent for at least several years - this is not fair to someone like him.
To be honest, if Li Mingliu had not been entrusted by Su Yuanshan to preside over the Shanghai Science and Technology Park, someone might have thought that Li Mingliu had been exiled...
But how does Sony think of flash memory?
...
Facing Su Yuanshan's surprised eyes, Ichiro Akita's eyes narrowed slightly, sprayed coffee and took a leisurely sip, allowing Su Yuanshan to show such an expression, which seemed to make him very satisfied.
"Su Sang, I heard that your double-layer unit's Nand flash memory has made a key breakthrough?" Akita Ichiro asked, staring at Su Yuanshan.
Su Yuanshan pulled the corner of his mouth, and the word "spy" flashed in his mind and denied it - a spy who is considered a Mao... Yuanxin is engaged in flash memory, and you can know it with just a little inquiries. For example, Su Yuanshan could easily find out what non-confidential business a certain company is doing.
Ichiro Akita said that Yuanxin has made a key breakthrough, and they should have seen the patent application submitted by Yuanxin last month.
After understanding this, Su Yuanshan became more and more casual: "Well, it's soon--Don't tell us, you are also interested in flash memory."
"I have a lot of interest." Akita Ichiro did not go around the circle and nodded calmly: "Sony should not be just a home electronics and video entertainment company, we also hope to return to the semiconductor industry."
Su Yuanshan opened his mouth, but closed without saying anything.
He knew that Sony started with transistor radios, and then various home appliances became popular all over the world. Then in the 1980s, Sony, like other Niguo companies, began to enter the semiconductor industry in the true sense. D has made great achievements...
But their global rankings are often outside the tenth place and within twenty, which is considered the group of people who are completely crane.
With the general decline of Niguo semiconductors, Niguo's sram production lines were almost sold, and the D-photosensitive components continued - because cameras were still in urgent need.
Then Su Yuanshan also knew that Sony would continue to move forward in photosensitive components in the future, and their CMOS sensors even achieved the best in the world... In the era of mobile phone explosion, Sony even relied on CMOS sensors to return to the semiconductor field.
And now... Ichiro Akita said that Sony wants to return to the semiconductor industry.
"Why is it flash memory?" Su Yuanshan asked after a few seconds of silence: "Instead of CPU and fabs? You know, we now have processor architectures that streamline instruction sets and complex instruction sets at the same time, and even our yx architecture is open and authorized."
"Because we do not have technical reserves for processors, but we have technical reserves for memory." Akita Ichiro said and smiled: "Besides, Li Ming and Liu Jun have such a high status in Yuanxin. The team he is personally responsible for must be an industry with development prospects."
Su Yuanshan opened his mouth again.
Who has become the one who has been touched across the river?
He is willing to establish a good relationship with Sony, but it does not mean that both parties have cooperated in all areas! Otherwise, it would be better to just merge the two companies directly to consider...
In terms of flash memory, he fully believes that Li Mingliu has the ability to lead the Nand team to dominate the future flash memory industry.
And to put it bluntly, Yuanxin is playing "stealing chicken" in the field of flash memory.
A technology company focusing on the semiconductor field will immediately get on the car and start working. This is an international practice - because no one knows whether this will be the next revolutionary field - of course, the premise is that there is plenty of effort.
For example, when Intel and Toshiba created Nor and Nand, a large number of people began to follow suit, especially Intel, which launched the concept of flash memory card early and established a department focusing on SSD.
As for the others, Fujitsu, Amd, and Samsung, they all have their own laboratories and invest money to do this thing.
Of course, their eyes were still a little shorter.
At least now, SanDisk, which includes Intel and was founded by Eli Harari, the father of eeprom, now only believes that it will occupy the storage space of laptops and tablets with excellent performance.
As for the use of mobile phones, some people have thought about it, but in that case, a mobile phone will become a sky-high price - and a sky-high mobile phone obviously does not deserve to support a memory market.
Moreover, it is also a period of rapid development of mechanical hard disks. The hard disk capacity has long exceeded 1g, and this data is still increasing at a terrifying scale several times each year.
Therefore, except for Intel, SanDisk and Toshiba's strong promotion, other companies are all focusing on participating. And based on the current cost, you may not even dare to admit how much money SanDisk has made.
But Yuanxin is different. Su Yuanshan knew from beginning to end that flash memory would become the master of the future storage market.
Moreover, Su Yuanshan also knew that before 2007 and 2008, solid-state drives were basically price-to-volume but not volume-to-volume. The real popularity of mechanical hard drives was after mechanical hard drives became the culprit that affected computer use.
Before that, flash memory relied on USB and mp3 to "spend life".
Therefore, although the priority of the flash memory department is not high, its importance is undoubtedly - otherwise Li Mingliu, the strongest key researcher who is known as Yuanxin, would not be responsible.
——You said, why did Su Yuanshan still cooperate with Sony?
"Akita, we are optimistic about flash memory, this is a fact." Su Yuanshan quickly turned his mind a few times: "But the premise of cooperation is that both of us can achieve complementarity and achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two."
As he said that, Su Yuanshan paused: "I don't think your memory technology can be useful for Nand flash memory, because these are two different technical directions."
"..." Akita Ichiro looked at Su Yuanshan with a little hatred.
Su Yuanshan just smiled and remained motionless.
Akita Ichiro said helplessly: "You can't always use our technology, right?"
"Please... Akita, we have always sought cooperation based on technology and market." Su Yuanshan spread his hands: "For example, D-sensor, so we have never coveted your lens technology."
"Crucian carp?"
"Coveting can be understood as thinking about it..."
At this time, Kutaraki Ken, who had been smiling and listening to the two of them, suddenly interrupted.
"What is the prospect of Susan, D sensor? Or... how long will it take for digital cameras to replace traditional cameras?"
