Chapter 0038 Let's Call It SoftBank

On the flight from Baodao to Tokyo, Japan, Tang Huan held a pen to write and draw, which was already his habit, as soon as he had spare time, he would write some core code and process design diagrams, and then hand them over to his engineers for reference, after all, Tang Huan had a technological leadership at this time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as far-sighted.

This aircraft is the famous Boeing 747, and many powerful civil aviation companies are vigorously introducing this type of aircraft, and passengers sit in the first class cabin, resting and working.

Tang Huan has been running around in the past few months, with a tight schedule, he can be called a trapeze, and he feels that the most accustomed means of transportation is the Boeing 747.

The stewardess brought the drink, Tang Huan nodded, looked at the slender figure of the other party leaving, and couldn't help but think of Lin Fengjiao, so a knowing smile appeared on his face.

During his time on Treasure Island, he and Lin Fengjiao had a few meals together, and it can be said that they have become familiar friends.

In the last banquet, Lin Fengjiao helped Tang Huan entertain celebrities in the entertainment industry, which can be described as conscientious.

Tang Huan wanted to use the excuse of gratitude to let her accompany her to Japan for a trip, but this conservative and traditional woman thought about it again and again, and finally refused, looking at the wary look as if she was worried that she had eaten her. Of course, Tang Huan did plan to do so in his heart.

The next time we meet, the heat should be almost boiled, and we can't delay it any longer, Tang Huan thought in his heart.

For myself, although the beauty is not a scarce resource, but it can be pleasing to the eye, then it is hard to find, and it is better to be included in the house early.

Picking up the cup and taking a few sips, Tang Huan turned his mind to the purpose of this trip.

Epson's 7-pin dot matrix printer TP-80 has sold more than 10,000 units through Zheru's channels.

Seiko Epson, whose main business was watches, found that the printer was so promising, and immediately took the opportunity to expand his ambitions, and frequently contacted Zheru, especially after learning that Tang Huan had gone to Asia, he was more urgent, and strongly invited him to come to Japan for a high-level contact to discuss the next cooperation.

Japan's big companies often have a long history, which is a hundred years of inheritance, and at the same time, there are more or less disgraceful pasts involved in World War II.

Therefore, Tang Huan squeezed Epson without mercy, and most of the profits of the printer fell into Zheru's pocket.

Of course, the Japanese are not stupid, but the United States is the market they attach the most importance to and strive to develop, and the mainstream business philosophy of this period is to win market share, Epson also thinks so, so even if they are exploited, they still behave well-behaved, enthusiastic and polite.

In the bottom of his heart, Tang Huan wanted to buy Epson's printer business into his own hands.

You know, before inkjet printers were commercialized, dot matrix printers were a hen that laid golden eggs, and Epson had a leading edge in this field.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Epson was overly obsessed with dot matrix printers, suffered hardships, missed the best opportunity for the development of inkjet printers, and reversed the decline after many twists and turns.

However, Tang Huan's plan to acquire is estimated to be difficult to realize.

Seiko Epson, as the name suggests, the parent company is Seiko, and it is controlled by the Hattori family. In the original history, Epson's listing process was not smooth, and there was the obstruction of the Hattori family.

It seemed that he could only figure it out slowly, and Tang Huan raised his glass and drank all the remaining drinks.

……

Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Akihabara, Japan.

There are a variety of electronics stores scattered here, and although it has not yet formed the atmosphere of the world-famous electronic hypermarket, it can be seen that it is the world of electronic products.

Masayoshi Son was handling the affairs of his company in Japan, and Tang Huan, who had to deal with Epson, asked him to be his assistant, so the two agreed to meet in Akihabara.

Standing outside a game console store, Tang Huan was thoughtful.

In the 80s, because of the hot sales of Nintendo's red and white consoles, various games and related stores were booming in Akihabara.

It's just that his little overlord game console will soon be on the market, and the third-generation game console developed by Nintendo a few years later-FC game console, compared with the same 8-bit CPU architecture, and the hardware indicators such as sound and image are not inferior, I don't know what kind of scene it will be here at that time.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Son walked briskly out of the store.

"I didn't have long to come." Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, beckoned the other party to get into the car together, and asked by the way, "Are you choosing a game console suitable for the American market?" ”

"Yes, after all, there is always an end to the cooperation project with Sharp, and I want to find some ways to make money in the long run. However, compared to Zheru's thriving business, this business is really a bit pediatric. ”

Son Zhengyi smiled bitterly, and it could be seen that this person is not small-minded and has higher requirements for the accumulation of entrepreneurial funds.

Seeing that Son Zhengyi had a talent for selling game consoles, Tang Huan's heart moved, and he said: "I just met a good opportunity, maybe we can cooperate in the future." ”

Japanese companies are more grouped, and the game market is even more closed, which can be seen from the fact that the famous online game "World of Warcraft" in the previous life did not set up a server dedicated to Japan, and Son Masayoshi, a local expert who has suffered some kind of discrimination and has not yet developed, should be a good wedge.

"It's a good business to use software on personal computers, but I'm afraid it will take some time for Japan to reach the level of microcomputer penetration that the U.S. does." Son had a look of pity on his face.

"Not necessarily." Tang Huan said lightly that the project of the game console is not suitable for premature publicity, and it is not too late to mention it to Son Masayoshi when the time is ripe.

Son Masayoshi quickly perked up and laughed, "Actually, the way Zheru Company operates has allowed me to see a different world, it turns out that in addition to all kinds of electronic hardware that can be seen and touched, simple software can also be so promising. ”

Tang Huan nodded approvingly, in addition to his tenacious personality, Son does have a keen sense of smell in capturing business opportunities, no wonder he can invest in potential companies like Yahoo and Alibaba in the future.

"With the development of the computer industry, the profits in software are destined to become larger and larger."

Hearing Tang Huan agree with his idea so much, Son was very excited, "I promised my mother that I would return to Japan as soon as I graduated. You say, what kind of name should I take for the new company I set up at that time? ”

Tang Huan rolled his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "I think, it's better to call it SoftBank, SoftBank, software warehouse, software bank, no matter how you explain it, it's very majestic." ”

Hearing this proposal, Son Zhengyi's eyes lit up, "It's really a good name, it is estimated that Mr. Tang was originally prepared for one of his subsidiaries, then I am not welcome, just use it, don't regret it." ”

Tang Huan smiled and said nothing, according to the development of the original historical trajectory, SoftBank will not be established until 1981, I don't know what role he will play if he reaches out and pushes it so much.

Soon, the car stopped, and their destination arrived.
