Sharp's current president, Asahi Saeki, was appointed in 1970 as the second-generation management core that succeeded from founder Tokuji Hayakawa.

In the same year, Sharp changed its name from Hayakawa Electric Industry Co., Ltd. to Sharp Co., Ltd., and established a comprehensive development center in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, and began production of large-scale integrated circuits.

Tang Huan's visit at this level naturally had to be received by Sharp's president in person.

Born in 1917, Saeki Xu entered Sharp as early as 1931, and climbed step by step from an apprentice to today's high-ranking position.

The future third-generation president Haruko Tsuji and the fourth-generation president Machida Katsuhiko are respectively related to Saeki Asahi by law or relative, and the father of the fifth-generation president Katayama Mikio is his close friend.

So, despite the fact that Sharp has had different surnames, it is actually a "family-run" structure that resembles inbreeding. In the previous life, Sharp's existential crisis in the second decade of the 21st century may not be unrelated to the resulting disease of big business.

However, this also has an advantage, Tang Huan and Sharp will be relatively easy to deal with, anyway, the other party will have to wait until decades later, and he doesn't need to worry about being dragged down.

The Japanese are very efficient, and Tang Huan is not ambiguous, and after greetings, he immediately began to visit.

This process is also an opportunity for Sharp to show its strength, but it can't stop Tang Huan, no matter how powerful you are, the electronic products produced can't be compared with the integration of smart phones, and that era is precisely the sad stage when Sharp was pitted by the LCD business and lost billions of dollars.

But it is undeniable that the development process of Sharp, which has a civilian background, is really step by step, which is very worthy of reference.

Its earliest products can be traced back to the invention of the metal belt buckle by Tokuji Hayakawa, the Tokuo buckle, and then the mechanical pencil, the brand name "Ever-SharpPencil", which means "no need to sharpen, can always keep the refill sharp", from which the SHARP trademark comes from.

The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 destroyed Tokuji Hayakawa's foundation, but he eventually made a comeback, gradually starting to produce radios, televisions, microwave ovens, calculators, solar cells, silicon photoelectric conversion components, liquid crystal displays, semiconductor large-scale integrated circuits, and so on.

Sasaki, who had the grace to support Son Masayoshi and supported his invention of an electronic translation machine, was also among the accompanying people, Tang Huan specially chatted with him, Japan is a personal society, and some seemingly insignificant interpersonal relationships may be able to play an unexpected role.

After visiting the TV production line, Tang Huan mentioned the topic of cooperating in the production of CRT monitors with Saeki Xu in the gap between his breaks, and he hoped that his second-generation Fangyuan computer could be equipped with the standard output device of his previous life.

Under Tang Huan's description, the veteran Saeki Xu found that this was a big job, and immediately found a technician to discuss, but there are still many differences between CRT monitors and TVs, and it will not be possible to get an exact result for a while.

Tang Huan is not in a hurry, the two sides have intentions, and then send someone to talk in detail, the second purpose of the trip - CRT display project cooperation will be achieved.

After turning the day, Tang Huan visited the focus of the trip - Sharp's comprehensive development center, and had a more intuitive all-round understanding of its semiconductor process.

Tang Huan has always wanted to design and produce a general-purpose CPU in the East that is completely in his own hands, and at this stage Japan is almost the only place that meets the technical requirements.

So Tang Huan mentioned the third purpose of the trip, but he was disappointed when he inquired, and at present, Sharp is at the level of making a calculator in terms of chip design.

In this way, the business of coming to Osaka is basically done.

Due to the World War II, Osaka gathered a large number of munitions factories, so many times by the US military air raids, the entire city turned into a sea of fire, almost into ruins, many historical buildings disappeared, although now there are imitations, but Tang Huan feels bored, plans to go directly to Kyoto, after the last time to Nintendo to dig people, the old place to revisit.

Of course, he also has a work schedule, and if he can, he meets Kazuo Inamori, the founder of Kyocera.

Seeing that Tang Huan, the glittering God of Wealth in Silicon Valley, was leaving, Saeki Xu immediately became anxious, the significance of CPU is self-evident, although Sharp's current technology can't keep up, but we can reach a cooperation intention first, after all, we already have a pretty good relationship between us.

So Saeki Asahi tried his best to keep it, and you are not satisfied with the scenery here in Osaka, but there are many other interesting things.

Your Excellency is so young, don't you plan to enjoy the exotic atmosphere and find a Japanese soft girl to accompany you?

What, you've got beauty to follow.

It's okay, there's the food. There is a popular Japanese proverb that "the people of Kyoto go bankrupt for clothes, and the people of Osaka go bankrupt for food", and we have you covered.

Tang Huan smiled and politely refused, everyone cooperated quite closely, and it was inevitable to move around each other, let's talk about it next time.

Don't, Saeki Xu hurriedly continued to stay, he muttered in his heart, business opportunities are fleeting, look at what you say about the CPU, maybe the next time you come, you will already sit with other companies, and the flowers will fall into his house.

Sharp attaches so much importance to Tang Huan that the founder Hayakawa Tokuji, who is more than 80 years old this year, has personally come forward, Tang Huan can't help but be moved, this industrialist and inventor who struggled from the bottom of the grassroots to the head of a company, according to the historical trajectory, returned to the west in June this year, and his physical condition can be imagined, I have to say, the Japanese are really hard enough.

Tokuji Hayakawa was born in 1893 into a family of small fruit vendors, at a time when Japan had not yet passed the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, rapidly advancing its own industrial revolution, and the people at the bottom were living in poverty, as was the case with the Hayakawa family.

Due to his meager income, Tokuji Hayakawa, who was more than 1 year old, was given to someone else as an adopted son, and even entered a factory when he was less than 10 years old.

The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 not only destroyed Hayakawa Tokuji's hard-earned industry, but also severely damaged his family.

There were three famous women in the Taisho era in Japan: Kujou Takeko, Yanagihara White Lotus, and Eki Shinshin, known as the three beauties of Taisho.

It is said that the Shimbashi geisha Eki Shinshin, who is quite famous in the social world, is the older sister of Hayakawa Tokuji.

When shaking hands with Hayakawa Tokuji, Tang Huan looked at each other curiously, if he didn't come to this time and space, he wouldn't have this archaeological opportunity to see real people, it was hard to imagine the hardships and glories that this twilight old man had experienced.

Tokuji Hayakawa, the founder of Sharp, has a pursuit of advanced technology, which can even be described as stubborn.

This attitude has affected every senior level of Sharp, correspondingly, Sharp as a whole, in the market operation is inevitably inflexible, the future LCD industry crisis can reflect this phenomenon from the side.

Now that he is on the scene, it means that Sharp's pursuit of CPUs has reached its highest point.

Compared with Tang Huan, who only had Yasukawa Hideaki as his follower, Sharp's movements were much larger, and the high-level echelons were dispatched and obediently followed behind Hayakawa Tokuji.

Seeing this situation, Tang Huan thought in his heart, as the founder of the country, Hayakawa Tokuji, his decisions are naturally supreme authoritative, and the second-generation president Saeki Asahi is also keen on the semiconductor industry, even if Hayakawa Tokuji leaves in a few months, he can ensure that enough resources are mobilized to develop and produce CPUs, and there is no need to worry about giving up halfway.

Since the other party's posture is so sufficient, Tang Huan naturally wants to show the value worthy of such courtesy, compared to the point when he talked about the CPU before, what he said now is much more in-depth, and even elaborated on the latest design concept that has just emerged - Reduced Instruction Set (RISC), and the eyes of Sharp and others are shining like little stars like gold.

It turned out that time and space, the Loongson developed by the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences belonged to RISC, and all the patents and bus and instruction set authorizations of its processors came from MIPSTechnologies, that is, Maps Technology Co., Ltd., and the MIPS architecture appeared as early as 1981.

Looking at the aging Hayakawa Tokuji, Tang Huan finally said slowly: "The microprocessor I designed, as long as the resources are sufficient, the prototype should be seen in a year, and under the current production process, the execution efficiency of the finished product is enough to be proud of the others." ”

Of course, you also need to support your brother's compiler and other system software, and Tang Huan won't say anything about this posterior.

"You may have a question, why didn't this technology be implemented directly in Silicon Valley in the United States? I said bluntly, because its execution efficiency is enough to trigger all kinds of regulations brought about by political factors, and I don't want my hard work to become the price of politicians to negotiate, so I want to find a partner in the East. Tang Huan said.

"I can guarantee that sufficient resources will be provided to develop this kind of CPU, and I hope that Mr. Tang will be in Osaka for a few more days, and we will talk more in detail. Hayakawa Tokuji's face was full of eagerness.

"The respected Hayakawa senior spoke, how dare I not know how to lift up, just to taste the food of Osaka. Tang Huan agreed, and naturally he couldn't go to Kyoto.

Sharp's hospitality was thoughtful, so that Tang Huan had a very moist life, and soon it was February 13th, that is, the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

Zhao Yazhi didn't dare to continue to accompany him, he had accumulated a lot of things at work and at home, and he would be scolded if he didn't return to Xiangjiang.

"Look at your urgency, I've already bought the ticket, and I'll send you on the plane tomorrow. Tang Huan sat on the sofa and teased while looking at the information.

"Then if you don't say it earlier, it will make my heart feel like grass has grown. Zhao Yazhi, who was sorting out the suitcase, gave Tang Huan a roll of his eyes.

"It's funny. As soon as Tang Huan's words fell, Zhao Yazhi smiled and threw his newly bought underwear on his head.

The two were flirting and scolding, the phone rang, Tang Huan picked it up and listened, it turned out to be a careful call, "Boss Huo has taken a fancy to a project in your hand, you should go back to Xiangjiang to talk about it in person." ”

"He builds a house, I sell computers, I don't have a side, what projects will arouse his interest?" Tang Huan couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's about building a house, from the United States, you can talk about it in detail when you come back. I'm about to meet a retail investor with Wharf shares, so let's do this. Zhou Mi hurriedly hung up the phone.
