Chapter 012 Semiconductor Protocol

After breakfast, Yu Zixian told Luo Shouwu about his leave last night and the meeting with Tomoki Kashima.

Regarding the matter of asking for leave, Luo Shouwu reluctantly explained the emergency situation to Yu Zixian.

It turned out that the person in charge of the economic and trade office in Tokyo who was in charge of the action arrangements for the inspection group came to visit you last night, but Yu Zixian was not there.

Before, he just said that he would take day off, but now he hasn't come back until the evening. Luo Shouwu had no choice but to explain to Director Hua that Yu Zixian would come back later...... But when I came back a little later, it turned out to be a night.

When Luo Shouwu explained to Director Hua, Director Hua naturally criticized and preached to Yu Zixian again, what is the lack of foreign affairs discipline, not allowed to return on time, etc...... But Luo Shouwu knew what Yu Zixian was doing, and he memorized all the pots - saying that he had called to ask for leave, but he was busy and it was late at the time, so he didn't report it in time......

But in the morning, Yu Zixian, who was injured in the face, was arrested by Director Hua, and Yu Zixian was naturally criticized again. As a result, Yu Zixian, whose face was injured and affected his image of going out, was ordered to write a review in the hotel.

As for the situation of Kashima Tomoki's meeting, Yu Zixian roughly and briefly said the result, and did not dare to say the specific process, after all, it was not good to drink and fight in a bar.

As for the $100 million TFT-LCD production line proposed by Tomoki Kashima and the R&D expenses, there is no other result except for the expected - Luo Shouwu's stunned and sighing.

However, Luo Shouwu still wanted to try again, after all, it was also an opportunity, otherwise Sifang Electronics would not get anything from this trip.

So, I made an appointment with Yu Zixian to wait for the next day to return from the delegation or visit Kashima Tomoki on the third day.

As for Yu Zixian, the next day, he can only honestly write and inspect the hotel now. Waiting for the director of the inspection group to come back in the evening, Yu Zixian seriously made self-criticism and made other arrangements after passing the test.

Although the date of the inspection of the delegation is only two days after today, although Yu Zixian still plans to take a look at other places......

An hour later, a thousand-word "Review on Failing to Renew Leave in Time for Approval" was released, in which Yu Zixian profoundly conducted self-criticism and analyzed the reasons for his mistakes......

In order to perform well and strive to "get out" as soon as possible, Yu Zixian also fought hard, anyway, he was here to rub the group, Director Hua shouldn't be too strict, right? !

In the afternoon, Yu Zixian, who couldn't get out, was really bored, so he ran to the front desk of the hotel. Miss Sachiko Imamura was not there, and it was still the evening shift, so Yu Zixian asked other front desk attendants for a few more newspapers in English.

He wanted to see what big things had happened to him at this time, maybe it would be useful......

In "Yueben Economic News", Yu Zixian saw that the stock market was in dire straits at this time...... The Nikkei Stock Average has collapsed from its 38,000 highs at the end of last year and the beginning of this year...... At this time, it was already hovering around 25,000 points.

Even if Yu Zixian has a large amount of money in his hands now, he has missed the opportunity to invest the best now...... The Nikkei has tripled in the last five years since the Plaza Accord was signed!

At this time, it is said that the stock market is already a yellow flower! In fact, the most important thing is that Yu Zixian is shy in his pocket...... Otherwise, if you continue to short stock index futures, you can more or less drink some soup.

"Hey, the Americans are here again? For the sake of the "U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement"? I heard the leader of the NEC say that the Americans are conducting an investigation in their factory......

Yu Zixian suddenly found a news in the newspaper: "The U.S. Secretary of Commerce will lead a trade delegation to Japan, including the Secretary of Commerce, the U.S. Trade Representative, the Director of the White House National Economic Council, the Trade Adviser, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, and the White House National Economic Council Staff and other officials, will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the semiconductor industry and check ......compliance with the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement."

In my memory, the U.S.-Japan trade negotiations held in June this year were marked by an agreement to remove structural barriers to trade...... However, next year, the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement, signed between the two countries in September 1986, will expire.

In March 1987, the U.S. government took retaliatory measures by imposing 100 percent import tariffs on microcomputers and other related products on the grounds that the company had failed to comply with the agreement. In the spring of the same year, the market demand for semiconductor products in the United States rebounded sharply, and dumping naturally disappeared.

At this time, the semiconductor products produced in the United States have only achieved a little breakthrough in the market share of this semiconductor, but it is still less than 10%, which is far from the market share of at least 20% that the Americans want......

According to historical development, next year, the Americans will force Yuben to sign the "Second US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement", so that Yuben, a man who has been castrated and has some physical defects, will ...... Forehead...... It was the country's semiconductor industry that was once again discounted, and since then, this semiconductor has gradually declined......

Since then, the competitiveness of U.S. semiconductor companies has recovered, and Korean semiconductor products have sprung up...... A situation in which the original is "painful", South Korea is "snickering", and the United States is pulling the side side.

However, the semiconductor began to decline, and it was a rare opportunity for Yu Zixian and them at this time!

Tomoki Kashima is located in Tomoki's house in Ota-ku.

"Yu Jun, your budget of 100 million yuan is far from enough to build a TFT-LCD thin film LCD production line...... As I said before, it's $100 million. ”

Although he never thought of impressing Kashima Tomoki with 100 million yuan of project funds, Yu Zixian still sighed in his heart when he heard this, and reluctantly turned his head to look at Luo Shouwu.

"Kashima-kun, then if I take out 100 million yuan to build a (S)TN-LCD production line?" Luo Shouwu disagreed and continued to ask.

"(S)TN-LCD? Kashima Tomoki smiled reluctantly: "But the direction I want is TFT-LCD thin film liquid crystal display technology, not the (S)TN-LCD display technology that is about to be eliminated." ”

Kashima Tomoki apologized very much for not helping Yu Zixian, a "little friend", after all, he has his own pursuits!

After last night's incident, Kashima Tomoki recognized Yu Zixian's "friend", but he was a generation behind in age.

Half an hour later, Yu Zixian and Luo Shouwu left a tea gift box and ended their visit.

And Tomoki Kashima also gave each of them a digital watch from his treasure. The quartz electronic watch looks very exquisite, it is a commemorative edition of Suwa Seiko and the collection of Suwa Seiko produced in the eighties!

The polite refusal by Kashima Tomoki was also expected by Yu Zixian and Luo Shouwu, not to mention that inviting Kashima Tomoki to join the Sifang Electron Tube Factory LCD project was just an introduction to Luo Shouwu's visit.

What Luo Shouwu wants to develop is to introduce (S)TN-LCD liquid crystals with low cost and low technical threshold, but Tomoki Kashima wants TFT-LCD thin film liquid crystals.

The two are far from each other. This is just an attempt by Luo Shouwu. In the current situation of the Sifang Electron Tube Factory, 5 million can't be taken out, let alone 100 million? !

However, at Yu Zixian's request, Tomoki Kashima still verbally agreed to help Sifang Electron Tube Factory contact and visit Suwa Seiko's (S) TN-LCD LCD production line specializing in the production of calculators and electronic watches.

The inspection of the advanced integrated circuit production line two days ago gave Luo Shouwu a new understanding and strong desire for advanced electronics industry technology, especially after seeing the huge differences between China and Yueben in terms of advanced manufacturing technology and R&D technology in the electronics industry and integrated circuit industry.

The desire for change is stronger, and learning and introducing similar advanced electronic industry production technology is the only way out for Sifang Electron Tube Factory!

The NEC and Toshiba integrated circuit production lines he visited in the past two days often had a starting price of 100 million US dollars, which made him anxious...... I know that I can only start from an industry with a lower threshold.

Tomoki Kashima said that the second-hand production line of (S)TN-LCD only needs about 20 million yuan (about 4 million US dollars) to be introduced, and it also includes a full set of production technology and follow-up technical training......

According to Yu Zixian's previous investigation, the current domestic only one or two (S) TN-LCD LCD screen production lines are very limited, the level of technology is low, and now the domestic use is basically Xiangjiang, Bay Island over there are products.

As for the current scale of 200 million households and one billion people in China, even if one-tenth of the proportion uses electronic products, it is still a huge scale of 20 million and 200 million. At present, the products involved in (S)TN-LCD liquid crystal display are mainly calculators and electronic watches.

In a market like the Republic with huge consumption potential, it should not be difficult to sell relatively cheap calculators and electronic watches. It is this huge market potential that attracts Luo Shouwu!
