NETGEAR translates to the Consumer Electronics Show, which was founded in 1973 to promote the development of civil electronics technology in the United States.

NETGEAR is held every year, but the number of times, places, and times of the year is not fixed. At the beginning of its establishment, the exhibition party did not limit itself to the United States, but to the world, so in just a few years, NETGEAR has begun to take shape as an international exhibition.

The NETGEAR exhibition is called the March Exhibition, and the venue is held in a large venue in the San Francisco area, because the venue is very close to the electronics industry in Silicon Valley, and it only takes 15 minutes by car to arrive, so the March NETGEAR exhibition is also called the Silicon Valley Exhibition.

The exhibition was held for three days, and all the tickets for the three days were sold, with a total of 60,000 tickets sold.

A very simple ceremony was carried out after the flow of people into the wide hall, the first thing that caught the eye was the huge booth of IBM, the huge "IBM" logo was very eye-catching, and he took the largest and best position in the exhibition. There are a lot of people who go to the IBM platform to see, but IBM's products are not for ordinary consumers, all enterprise-level products, so many people go to other exhibition areas after seeing the strangeness, and those who stay are representatives of the enterprise side, interested in buying IBM's new products, such as the latest 360 mainframe computer.

Li Yixuan saw several oriental faces talking with IBM salespeople, looking at their clothes, he knew that they were from Chinese mainland, but they were doomed to be disappointed, 360 series mainframe computers, but Batumi's banned products, money can't buy them, just look at the white salesman's arrogant attitude.

Next to IBM is the exhibition area of Xerox Company of the United States, which was founded in 1906, started by making typewriters, and launched the first electrostatic copier in 1938, so the field of photocopiers was out of control. Copiers, printers, fax machines, the first commercial digital publishing system, and enterprise-level all-digital large-scale laser printing systems are all products of Xerox.

Next up was HP, which started with medical electronics and later ventured into computers, and is now a leader in the midsize computer industry, with the acquisition of Compaq in the 90s and its reach into the personal computer space. This time HP has launched their latest medical device, the NMR machine.

Next up are DEC, GE, and Wang An Computer Company......

Along the way, I found that the products of this American electronics company are all enterprise-level, and RB's company is all consumer electronics for ordinary people.

Europe only sees three companies, Philips, Siemens and Electrolux, and all of them are home appliances.

Enterprises in Europe, the United States and Japan have all taken the best places in the convention and exhibition center, and the remaining corners are the territory of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The place where the international intelligent company is located is quite good, not particularly remote, more than 30 square meters, and Taiwanese enterprises are put together. On the left side of the international intelligent company is the platform of Taiwan's TPV technology (AOC), the product on display is a color TV, and the picture tube is said to be their own research and development of the "Chinese cage" tube, but from the image display effect of the picture, their technology should come from RB's Panasonic color tube, and add some of their own things on this basis.

Low-level display tubes, or spherical, are not as good as South Korea's Samsung, LG and Daewoo, everyone is a flat tube, the sprayed phosphor is not very good, the resolution and clarity are too low, not suitable for the display of the arcade machine, Li Yixuan left directly.

Back in his exhibition area, Liang Ning made him a cup of coffee and asked, "How is it, is there any gain?"

Li Yixuan shook his head, "I walked down in a circle, and I didn't find a picture tube suitable for the arcade, all of them were for family use." ”

Liang Ning comforted him: "It's not surprising that after Atari launched "General" in 1973, it turned to the field of home game consoles, and at present, only our DreamWorks is making arcade games. The market is so niche that there is definitely no manufacturer dedicated to producing this thing. And your requirements are high, not only durable, but also high-resolution, and the price should be as cheap as possible, such requirements no company can meet. Unless you build it yourself. ”

Li Yixuan smiled bitterly: "I would like to, but there is no place in Hong Kong to build a factory for me, and this thing cannot be solved by an industrial building." ”

Liang Ning obviously didn't believe it, "Don't blow it, do you know what a complete picture tube factory needs?"

Li Yixuan said disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this, the CRT is mainly composed of five parts: electron gun (Electron Gun), deflection coils (Deflection coils), shadow mask (Shadow mask), phosphor layer (Phosphor) and glass shell, which are divided into 9, 12, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 29 inches, etc.; According to the deflection angle of the picture tube, it is divided into: 70°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 114°, etc. According to the shape of the surface of the CRT screen, there are: spherical fillet corner, flat fillet corner, flat right angle, ultra-flat right angle, pure flat right angle, and according to the length and height of the screen rectangle, it is divided into: 4 to 3, 5 to 4, 16 to 9. The CRT used in the arcade machine is 29 inches, with a high resolution, ultra-flat right angle, if it is a pure flat right angle, it is better, and the length to height ratio is best ...... 4 to 3"

Li Yixuan remembered the arcade machines of later generations, except for the size that was up to standard, none of the others were up to standard, and he directly took a 4 to 3 low solution TV display tube to make up the number. This is because the arcades of games in the domestic market are pirated. So it's cheap. It's not the same level as foreign standard arcade machines.

Hearing his eloquent words, Liang Ning hurriedly stopped: "Okay~good~ Okay, stop, stop, I believe you now." However, you said that you want to buy a piece of land to build your own factory, but I know that there is a place in Hong Kong that suits your requirements. ”

"Oh, where?" Li Yixuan asked with bright eyes, and now as soon as he heard that there was a place to build a factory, he had to give it a try.

Liang Ning took out a blank piece of paper, drew a simple map of Hong Kong on it, pointed to the lower left and said: "This is Yuen Long, there are about 4 square miles of wasteland under Yuen Long, which should meet your requirements." ”

"What's so special about this place?" 4 square miles, more than 10 square kilometers, at least in terms of area, far exceeded his expectations.

"That place is saline-alkali land, and the grass grows, and it slowly becomes a mass grave, and after the RB occupies Hong Kong, it becomes a burial pit again. Later, it became a place where pirates logged in and gathered, and after the pirates were eliminated, it was completely deserted and desolate, and even drug dealers did not dare to go anywhere at night. Well, if you're not afraid, you can buy it at a price that's cheaper than you think. ”

Li Yixuan looked at the drawings and thought for five minutes, "It's done!" picked up the phone and dialed Hong Kong, regardless of whether it was still dark over there, "Mom, let me tell you, I found a place ......"

After making the call, he saw Liang Ning looking at him stunned, "What's wrong?"

"Where do you go to build a factory, you know that the local place is called a ghost land, a lot of ghosts, the factory builds that, you can't recruit workers, that one will come to work in this ghost place. ”

After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the SAR government carried out larger-scale development under the continued support of the central government. On the other side of the sea is Hong Kong's new airport, and since it is now a wasteland where birds don't, it happens to be cheaper for him.

Many people say that Hong Kong is a small land, and every inch of land is valuable. In fact, most of Hong Kong's elite areas are concentrated in Central and other places, and 70 to 80 percent of the 1,100 square kilometers of land have not been developed.

In later generations, Hong Kong had a population of 7 million, but what is a population of 7 million, look at Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, that city is not 30 or 40 million people. If the rest of the land can be developed, I don't know how much it will boost Hong Kong's economy.

But Li Yixuan would not be stupid enough to tell him this, looking at him and saying lightly, "I can't recruit workers, can I? After that, I went straight to the computer area.

"Unmanned factory~" Looking at Li Yixuan's back, Liang Ning muttered, "What the hell is this!"
