One hundred and thirty-five

The more I asked, the more frightened I became, and almost everyone knew about the interviews these days, and there were many Japanese people in the bookstore who analyzed them themselves, but I didn't know anything about it, how terrible it was.

What's even more terrifying is that there are even more books on Chinese studies in Japanese bookstores, such as "Examination of Asian Civilizations", "The Decline of the Ancient Kingdom", and so on, even in China decades later, which has become a habit for the Japanese.

I have known the Japanese language for a long time, and when I saw these books this time, I bought a box of them, which is really like a treasure, and I am ready to take it back and study it slowly, knowing what the other side can do.

Although this investigation held back a stomach, but was shocked into a cold sweat, but there are still a lot of gains for a long time, not only from the understanding of a level, but also to have an understanding of the current Japanese office machinery market.

I have visited dozens of companies for a long time, some large and small, and the performance is good and bad, but there is a common feature, that is, the degree of office automation is very high.

The Japanese also have their own microcomputer brands, but most of them belong to the 70s, and the structure of each company is very different, and the performance is also uneven, and the overall is not comparable to the PC series.

However, I have not seen any company use PCs for a long time, which is a very interesting phenomenon, and I was very interested in it, and asked many people, but the answer was that Japan did not allow the import of IBM-PCs at all.

I've been speechless for a long time, don't all the mainstream economists in my memory cry and shout about the free market system of the developed countries in the West?

Refusing to import advanced foreign machines and protecting domestic industries doesn't seem to be a market style, and the devil doesn't seem to be authentic.

At present, Japan's microcomputer market is divided into more than a dozen, only NEC, Toshiba and a few other big ones, which are the pillar enterprises supported by the Japanese government, and their background is the Federation of Industry and Economics.

Speaking of which, the Sankei Federation is also a monster, and this thing is not an official organization of the government, but a spontaneous organization of dozens of large enterprises that control the lifeblood of the Japanese economy, so it has a private background.

However, almost all high-ranking government officials have more or less to do with the federation, and many bigwigs themselves are shareholders of the federation, so it is said that the federation is the host behind the government, not to mention the political contributions provided by the federation to the major parties, which is also the reason for the continuous scandals in the political arena.

I am not a native of Japan, and I have not had a deeper understanding of the Federation of Industry and Economics for a long time, but I have an impression that the government and business are integrated, and the economy determines the superstructure of the country.

These are digressions, or are they talking about long-term discoveries in Japanese companies.

Although I haven't seen the scene of all computer offices for a long time, after all, computers are not so popular now, and only large companies use some mainframes. However, almost all companies have word processors, and there are quite a few of them, and other fax machines are even more popular.

This is a developed country with an economic leap, and even microcomputers are not popularized in enterprises, which makes Chang Chang very worried about the problem of computer sales in China at this time.

Yes, even Japan, a big company in a rich country, uses microcomputers as if they were a treasure, not to mention China, which is still tightening its belts, and it is a waste to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy computers that can only be used for typing.

This problem has been bothering me for a long time, even on the plane. made a special trip to this matter, and for a long time, I specially verified the major Japanese manufacturers and found out the bottom.

It can be said that Japan and China are on the same starting line in the development of computer structure technology. In 1976, NEC launched Japan's first single-board computer, the main processor was Intel's 8080A, and the ROM and RAM were only 768bytes and 512bytes respectively. In 1977, China was already able to design its own 16-bit LSI microprocessor, which seemed to be one step ahead.

Just two years later, NEC launched Japan's first microcomputer PC-8001 (this pc is not the other pc), using the CPU designed and developed by the Japanese themselves, compatible with the American z80, ROM and RAM increased to 24K and 16K respectively, can run the BASIC language and connect to the monitor, not much slower than the Americans, at this time the Chinese have been out of reach.

It's not that the wisdom of the Chinese people is inferior, but it's like a master's move, and the strength is scattered and doesn't go to a point. The devil went out all over the country, and after a year of hard work, the problem of the integrated circuit production process was solved, and with the manufacturing foundation, the design was a good sprint. However, China has embarked on a different path, delving into the structure of computers, but there are cognitive errors in the development trend of modern computers, specializing in large-scale computers, pursuing speed, a bit of an old man, but ignoring the foundation of modern computers - integrated circuits and microprocessors.

It's no wonder that these predecessors are the ones who happened to have this kind of thing, the theme at that time was to be big and comprehensive, everything had to be developed, and the key points had to be grasped. At that time, the focus was on speed, and only mainframes had speed, so ...... In this way, we entered the era of coreless.

This is also to blame that China did not have a far-sighted grand master at that time, and it seems that such a freak has been a hairy boy for a long time.

The Japanese are very frustrated with this, and after the economic and technological double leaps began at the end of the 70s, the self-confidence of the same nation was extremely inflated, and once thought that with the foundation, it was very easy to manufacture large-scale high-speed computers, and after investing a huge amount of money, they sadly found that feelings were different from the manufacture of integrated circuits, and some of the difficulties in it were very troublesome, and the machines built were actually incomparable to the Chinese.

Just last year, China released the Galaxy mainframe computer, which I dare not say shocked the world, but it shocked little Japan anyway.

The fact that the neighboring countries, which have always looked down on them, have actually entered the club of 100 million times in large-scale computer technology has really dealt a great blow to the self-esteem of the Japanese people. This is a later story, and I will talk about it slowly later.

NEC is a world-class integrated circuit company, and I went to admire it this time, and it was really extraordinary, although I didn't touch the core content, but that smell has come out.

Originally, NEC was not very long-lasting, but fortunately, it was prepared for a long time, and the relationship was dredged before coming. It turned out that view-soft had an office in Japan, and it was no coincidence that NEC had requested it.

After accumulating experience with the PC-8001 and PC-8801 series of microcomputers, NEC finally decided to develop a computer that was not a toy, that is, the famous PC98.

PC98 is a 16-bit machine, which is the result of NEC's painful experience, borrowing from the IBM-pc machine that the Americans are popular, but the devil has a lot of money, and he disdains to use 8088 This castration product, but bought the authorization of Intel's 8086cpu architecture, and made a mess with it, adding more than a dozen instructions, and made a new product that can be compatible with 8086 but 8086 is not compatible with it.

This is a weird processor,Performance is not said,After all, it is a pure 16-bit CPU,Plus NEC's own development of c-bus bus,Customized μPD7220 graphics chip,Pieced together is a finished pc98,It can easily realize any operation on IBM-PC,The screen resolution has reached 640×400×8 colors,The performance is very bull B。

However, there is a weakness in the performance of such a bull B, that is, the incompatibility that they are proud of. NEC's first few series of microcomputers were all 8-bit computers, without an operating system, and only booted in the BASIC language. But the 16-bit PC98 can't be played like this.,This is a high-end commercial machine.,No operating system, no software, and sell a fart.。

Originally, NEC has always used Microsoft's BASIC license, and after the dos system came out, I wanted to follow up, but it was about to sign an agreement but it was disrupted by viewsoft, and the godson system was born.

The devil is facing reality, and turning his face is faster than turning a book, and he suddenly got involved with the American company Viewsoft. At that time, Zhang Yi had not yet presided over the work, and the leaders at that time were invited to set up an office in Japan, which was responsible for the business of porting the godson system for NEC's pc98 series.

With this relationship, it is reasonable to visit NEC for a long time, and the relevant person in charge of NEC is also diligent and can double the flattery of the boss of this strategic partner.

After a long time of visiting, he was full of praise, and praised NEC to the sky, stepped on Intel and IBM to death, the eyes of the person in charge were about to smile crookedly, and he was rarely humble.

After holding it for a long time, seeing that the heat is almost over, the long-term topic changed and proposed whether it was possible to transfer some technology on the integrated circuit production line, so that everyone would benefit each other and make money together.

The person in charge didn't say anything, but only asked why he didn't use American technology.

Chang Chang naturally replied: "The price of Americans' technology is too high, we are ready to conduct an international bidding, NEC's chip manufacturing technology is well known, so I will explore the way first. ”

The person in charge listened to this reason and had no doubts: "Of course, this is what our big Japanese stuff looks like, it is technologically advanced and durable, and it is not below the Americans at all, but we are cheaper than them, haha." ”

Chang said: "That's it, then it's time to cooperate, and I ask you to take care of me." ”
