Kentaro Ichimura sat alone in the reception room in a daze, and he really couldn't figure out Li Yixuan's intentions, because looking at it this way, Li Yixuan was very disadvantaged.

In fact, where did he know Li Yixuan's abacus.

In Li Yixuan's view, RB is an extremely closed market, don't look at the current Oranges I computer in RB sells well, but that is also a short time, once IBM opens up PC technology next year, it will be difficult for him to have today's input days.

If it is not open, how can you establish your own computer standards in RB?

Another problem to note is that since IBM opened up the PC motherboard technology, the market demand for personal computers ushered in a big explosion, and in 1984 alone, more than 3 million IBM-PC compatible computers (including IBM original computers) were sold in the US market.

Such a transcript made RB realize the arrival of the personal computer era.

Since 1985, under the leadership of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, RB has been working hard to develop its own standard personal computer. Just as RB cars defeated American cars, RB hopes to be able to defeat American PCs in future PC wars.

The whole plan lasted for five years, and it was only when the RB bubble burst that it was forced to fail.

The market value of the Oranges I computer has been almost squeezed by Li Yixuan, and it is time to let it go.

Put the technology out, let the Oranges computer standard be established in RB first, and then release the technology when the Oranges II computer is launched. Li Yixuan can rely on the CPU alone to eat all-you-can-eat.

16-bit operating system ...... Li Yixuan thinks it's better to learn the future of Android, and it's semi-open.

Li Yixuan's thinking is a typical open business thinking of the Internet in later generations, while Kentaro Ichimura still stays in the traditional closed island thinking. The thoughts of both sides are not on the same parallel plane, so it is no wonder that Kentaro Ichimura can't figure out Li Yixuan's calculations.

Develop a complete product, but he does not grasp all aspects of the product in his own hands. He will open up the product and only provide them with the most core components, such as the CPU.

Some people may ask, what about your electronics company?

Don't worry, Oranges Electronics can turn into peripheral parts such as computer fans, computer keyboards, mice, and more. You must know that Logitech in the previous life relied on this to become the world's largest supplier of computer accessories, and its life was very nourishing, and it couldn't die.

On the contrary, the way Ricoh operates is a real dead end.

This starts with the way companies in the United States and Japan operate:

First of all, you need to know that there are significant differences in the way the two countries do business.

The business ideas of European and American companies are more focused on focus and focus on their core business. For example, Intel, even if its microprocessor products are alone in the global market, has never wanted to extend the downstream of the industrial chain and develop its own computer products.

However, RB enterprises have a completely different idea, they are more focused on the systematization of the industrial chain, and build a complete industrial structure and technical barriers. Then, through the optimization and integration of the entire industrial chain, the cost of the product is reduced to the extreme, so as to obtain a price advantage in the fierce competition.

Of course, there are not no large and comprehensive enterprises in the United States, such as RCA, whose full name is Radio Corporation of America. This well-known company, which started with radio and radio in the early twenties, was the first to develop the first television set.

Today, RCA includes the manufacture of consumer electronics such as televisions and radios, RCA Records in the music field, NBC, one of the three major public broadcasters in the United States, as well as the semiconductor business, the aerospace business, and even the blanket production business.

But his core business, television manufacturing, was forced into a desperate situation by RB company step by step since the sixties. Of course, compared to other American television factories that have long been bankrupt, he can at least barely hold on.

The main reason for this is that American workers will never be able to work as hard as their RB counterparts and treat factories as their second home. Powerful guilds will use strikes and votes to bring factory owners to their knees again and again, and constantly raise wages and benefits, thereby constantly driving up production costs and reducing the market competitiveness of American goods.

It is precisely because of this that American companies have to divest the non-core businesses that they believe have low profit margins, and devote all their energy to the core business, and defend against the price competition of RB companies through technological leadership.

Ricoh's business philosophy is the same as that of other large RB companies. His core product is printing equipment, and the processing core of the printing equipment needs to be controlled by the CPU, so it built its own wafer factory to produce the 6502 processor licensed by MOs.

In addition to Ricoh, RB's Epson is also producing the 6502 processor.

In Li Yixuan's view, this kind of business has no future. Under the model of electronic product island technology, RB enterprises do have a certain market monopoly in their business mode, but their role is not large, and their market share is very limited.

Once the era of universal openness is ushered in, this model will only become more and more dead.

In 2016, Sharp was acquired by Hon Hai Precision, and Ricoh ushered in the largest loss in history, and he was either bankrupt or acquired.

Regardless of whether Kentaro Ichimura had the abacus to communicate with Li Yixuan, but in the end he agreed to Li Yixuan's request, but he put forward a request, that is, the sixteen-needle printer technology can be given to you, but you can't produce and sell.

This is simply an overlord clause, Li Yixuan looked at him quietly and smiled: "Yes, I promise you." ”

Kentaro Ichimura was a little confused about the other party, but they didn't think too much about it, since the other party was willing to suffer such a big loss, what else could he say? Under the witness of the lawyers of both parties, the two sides signed the contract.

After signing the contract, Li Yixuan saw that Guo Yifei rarely came to RB, so he asked her to soak in RB hot springs together.

They came to the Suwa Basin, more than 200 kilometers from Tokyo, with Lake Suwa, the largest lake in Nagano Prefecture, in the middle. The lake has the highest geyser in the whole RB, erupting upwards every hour up to 40-50 meters.

Both the east and north sides of Lake Suwa have plenty of hot springs gushing out. On the east side, Kamisuwa Onsen has a 1,000-person hot spring pool in Katakurakan, RB's oldest hot spring facility. On the north side, Shimosuwa Onsen has many small and quiet hot spring cabins.

Li Yixuan and Guo Yifei came to a hot spring cottage, and after changing their clothes, Li Yixuan walked into the warm pool water.

The moment he entered the pool, Li Yixuan had one word in his heart, comfortable!

Shaoqing, Guo Yifei came out in one-piece swimsuits.

The two swam in the pool for a while, Guo Yifei sat next to him, and Li Yixuan put his arm around her waist.

Guo Yifei leaned his head on his shoulder and asked, "Why did you agree to Kentaro Ichimura's conditions, you know that this is very unfair to us!"

"It's not fair or unfair, even if the other party doesn't have this demand, and we can't produce the printer without the core components they provide. Li Yixuan said while looking at the surrounding scenery.

The best time to soak in the hot springs is in winter, when it is cold outside and hot inside, and the overhead is full of mist, looking at the surrounding rocks and rime and the white snow, this kind of enjoyment is simply ......

Guo Yifei looked at him and didn't understand.

Li Yixuan explained: "Let me tell you this, in fact, the technology of dot matrix printers is not complicated, and the technical principle is not difficult. However, in order to prevent other companies from counterfeiting, RB enterprises have designed the structure of the printer more specially, and RB enterprises attach great importance to the systematization of the industrial chain, in order to build a complete printer industrial structure and technical barriers, as well as terminal price advantages, they have designed a lot of special and customized special components, including core components.

This leads to other companies wanting to counterfeit but not being able to do so, unless they also build a complete printer structure like RB companies. Even if you build it, you don't have any advantage in the final product price because the upfront investment is too large, which is the characteristic of RB products. ”

"In that case, why do you still make such a request?" asked Guo Yifei.

"It's just to reassure the other party. Li Yixuan kissed her on the face and said, "I'm not interested in making a Japanese-style printer, if I want to do it, I will make an open printer......"

"Aren't you afraid of their copycats?"

Li Yixuan grinned, "I can't ask for it!"

Guo Yifei didn't understand it at all and wanted to continue asking, but Li Yixuan didn't give her a chance to ask, and her hands moved around her......
