On the bus to Sony's headquarters in Tokyo, Gawain was engrossed in reading a thick stack of materials. These materials are nothing but information about CD technology.

Although CD technology is still in its infancy, the cost of both optical drives and CD discs is still very high, and it is not close to the people at all, and it cannot be as affordable as floppy disk technology, and can be popularized. But Gawain still skipped the floppy disk technology and focused on the absorption of CD technology.

He did this because he knew that CDs with huge data storage were the future, compared to floppy disks with limited data storage. The huge amount of data storage on CDs is destined to go further than floppy disks, even in the 21st century.

However, this promising CD technology is still mostly in the research stage, and the only practical application is only in the field of records. Some CD-ROMs, such as CD-based drives, still have many defects such as bulky size and high cost, so that they have not been widely used in computers, VCDs, DVDs and many other fields like later generations.

However, this kind of defect in CD technology is not a good thing for Gao Wen, and the immaturity of CD technology means that he can take the opportunity to participate in the formulation of relevant standards, research and development of new application technologies to make them mature, so as to become a party that masters CD technology and formulates CD standards with new technologies.

It does not need to be like floppy drive technology, because its own technology is mature enough, and a series of relevant standards have long been formulated. If the latecomers want not to be controlled by others in floppy disk technology, they have to bypass the relevant technology patents to develop a new set of standards.

But this is not easy, even if it is a multinational company like Sony, which is strong in the industry and has relatively advanced technologies such as 3.5-inch floppy drives, it is difficult to replace the old 5-inch floppy disk technical standards with new standards of floppy disk technology such as 3.5-inch floppy disks. It is not easy for a newcomer like him, who has no accumulation of technical patents in the field of floppy disk industry, to be among them.

Therefore, in Gao Wen's view, instead of taking a bayonet in the red sea of floppy disk technology, it is better to choose the blue ocean of CD technology in the future and swim happily in it. This not only saves time and effort, but also is efficient and low-cost, so why not do it.

After turning the last page of the last information, Gao Wen put down the information in his hand without finishing his mind. He lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch, which took him a total of 60 minutes to absorb the knowledge of CD technology, which is exactly the same as the 60 minutes of deep learning time per week given to him by the system.

Thinking that he has already moved away from the entry level in information science and entered the proficiency level, and now he has achieved such a great harvest by relying only on the 60 minutes of deep learning time per week given by the system, Gao Wen is even more looking forward to the mastery, expert, and master after the proficiency level.

If he could change the 60 minutes of deep learning time in one week into three hours a day, wouldn't he, a former scumbag, be able to preach and become a super university bully. In the future, there is no need to bother to weigh here and there, what is lacking is directly a research and development.

It's just that the future is bright, but the road ahead is tortuous.

If he wants to realize his dream of being a super university tyrant, then he has to earn a large number of prestige points first, and by consuming a large number of prestige points, he will first improve his specialization in information science from proficiency all the way to the master level.

Only when the level of information science is raised to the master level, can he get the benefit of 1 week of 24-hour deep learning time given by the system, and rely on this benefit to help him become a real super university tyrant.

However, just as it takes him to upgrade information science from beginner to proficient, the cost of upgrading from proficiency to proficiency is ten times the prestige points required to advance from proficiency to proficiency, and the promotion from mastery to expert is even more terrifying to reach a hundred times the prestige points required to advance to proficiency, and when it comes to upgrading from expert to master, it reaches a desperate thousand. In other words, to be promoted from an expert to a master, it takes a total of 1 million reputation points.

But how can it be so easy to obtain prestige points, let's just say that this time he finally made a name for himself in the domestic semiconductor industry, and it was only 1000 prestige points that he received from the system reward, which just allowed him to specialize in information science from beginner to proficient......

"Boss, Sony headquarters has arrived. ”

Just when Gao Wen was distracted, Chu Nan, the assistant in the co-pilot, turned his head and reminded him softly to him sitting in the back seat.

was reminded by Chu Nan like this, and Gao Wen came back to his senses.

He took a deep breath, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and briefly went through all the information related to the trip and Sony in his mind, and then opened the car door in his chest and walked towards Sony's headquarters building with a sonorous voice.

Gao Wen, who had made an appointment for a long time, soon met Ichiro Morita, the president of Sony.

As soon as they met, the president of Sony threw a document directly in front of Gawain.

"To be honest, I now regret not carefully investigating the strength of your company, and I only took your word for it and agreed to meet with you. ”

Gao Wen glanced at the information that was thrown under his nose, and saw that the detailed assets of his Xianglong company, a joint venture with China, had been listed line by line, and many of them were even red lines and question marks, so he knew why Ichiro Morita reacted like this.

"Mr. Morita, we are indeed one of the top 100 large enterprises in mainland China......"

Before Gawain could continue, Ichiro Morita unceremoniously interrupted him and asked aggressively:

"But your net worth is only $30 million, and a company like yours is not even as good as an ant in front of us Sony, and we can make you doom you with a casual sneeze. If you are so weak, what can you use to talk to us about cooperation?"

In the face of Morita Ichiro's questioning, Gao Wen was not annoyed at all, but said to Morita Ichiro with great sincerity:

"Mr. Morita, we are here with great sincerity, and we hope that you can license the technology related to 3.5-inch floppy drives and floppy disks to our Xianglong Company. ”

Ichiro Morita said noncommittally:

"We at Sony are very welcome to Xianglong to join the construction of 3.5-inch floppy drives and floppy disk standards. As long as your Xianglong company can come up with a one-time licensing fee of 50 million US dollars, then the 3.5-inch floppy disk technology will be permanently licensed to you. ”

$50 million is not a small amount, even if you add up all of Gawain's current net worth, you can't make up the $50 million that Ichiro Morita wants.

In this regard, he could only apologize to Ichiro Morita with a wry smile:

"Mr. Morita, please forgive us for our difficulties. Xianglong Company is just a small company that has just been established and has tangible assets of only 30 million US dollars. The $50 million grant fee is simply beyond our means. ”

Ichiro Morita frowned and said dissatisfied:

"It's a permanent sexual license. As long as you pay 50 million US dollars, you Xianglong Company can use the relevant technology for free forever. And as I said, you are allowed to pay in installments at very low interest. ”

"This ......"

For a while, Gao Wen's heart couldn't help but be a little shaken.
