Chapter 798: Toshiba and Samsung

Ge Jiande talked eloquently on the stage with clichés, Zhang Ke was impatient to listen to it, and planned to withdraw from the venue with Zhai Danqing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Huaxia Electronics chose to hold the inaugural meeting at the Beijing Oriental Culture Hotel, and Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing walked to the hotel lobby to leave.

"Mr. Zhang?"

Standing in the hall, an uncertain question came from behind him.

Zhang Ke wasn't sure if he was shouting at himself, so he glanced back and saw that a young man of about thirty-three or fourteen years old was leaning over with his eyebrows fluttering, looking at him as if he was looking for him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. It's an RB person, with a typical RB person's appearance, and each is too serious and humble.

"You're calling me?" Zhang Ke turned around and asked suspiciously.

"Ah, I'm Yamamoto from Toshiba," Kenji Yamamoto took out his business card and handed it over respectfully, "I heard Moriyama-kun from the Audiovisual Department mention Mr. Zhang, but I didn't expect to meet you here unexpectedly......"

"Oh, it's Vice President Yamamoto," Zhang Ke put away his business card and reached out to shake hands with Kenji Yamamoto, Vice President of Toshiba in China, "It's really unexpected, I didn't expect to meet Vice President Yamamoto here, I also heard Moriyama-kun mention you last time, and I plan to go back to the country to visit you, and I have not found time to ...... many things."

Zhai Danqing knew that Zhang Ke was saying this to the ghost, and she had never heard Zhang Ke mention the name Kenji Yamamoto before.

"Moriyama-kun arrived in Beijing yesterday night, presumably I have already contacted your company's office in Beijing today, but I didn't expect that I ......would meet Mr. Zhang here," Yamamoto Kenji said, "It is convenient to inform Moriyama-kun that I met Mr. Zhang here?" ”

"Moriyama-kun made a special trip to China to contact Kumho?" Zhang Ke asked.

"I can't be sure ...... so," Kenji Yamamoto said.

"In that case, then I have to do my best to be a landlord during my time in Beijing, and I have to trouble Vice President Yamamoto to contact Moriyama-kun......"

Kenji Yamamoto stepped aside and took out his mobile phone to contact Moriyamano, assistant director of Toshiba's electronic audiovisual affairs department.

Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing walked to the hotel lobby rest area and sat down, and whispered to Zhai Danqing: "I thought Toshiba had forgotten about it......"

Zhai Danqing knew that Zhang Ke was talking about iplayer, to be precise, a DMP digital audio player.

After the visit of Toshiba's audiovisual products department and assistant Moriyamano to AIDA's subsidiary in Japan was published by RB media, Toshiba issued a recusal statement in order to avoid criticism from RB colleagues, especially due to pressure from within the Mitsui zaibatsu, and negotiations with Kumho on licensing DMP digital audio player technology were suspended.

It's been two months since Toshiba had not made any contact on the matter, and it was thought that Toshiba had completely given up on its efforts to acquire DMP playback technology.

"Hello Mr. Zhang," Kenji Yamamoto, who likes to use honorifics, walked over to Moriyamano on the phone, "Moriyama-kun is on his way to your company's office in Beijing, and he asked me to ask you if he can have the opportunity to come and visit you at this time?" ”

Zhang Ke came to Beijing this time to inquire about the trends of the central high-level authorities in the development of the information industry, and there was no other arrangement other than meeting with Xu Xueping yesterday and Yi Yunfei in the morning.

The cooperation with Toshiba and the flash memory technology in Toshiba's hands have been coveted by Kumho for a long time, and since he is in Beijing, it doesn't hurt to get in touch with Moriyamano in person.

Zhang Ke nodded and agreed, Yamamoto Kenji stepped aside to talk to Moriyamano on the phone, Zhang Ke asked Zhai Danqing to call the person in charge of the Beijing branch, Zhou Yiping, and asked him to come over by the way, after all, to start formal negotiations, Kumho must also have someone equal to Moriyamano to be responsible for related matters.

Zhang Ke and Kenji Yamamoto sat in the rest area of the hotel lobby waiting for Moriyamano to come, at this time, the press conference in the hall of the north of the lobby ended, and the media reporters left the venue one after another, and the guests who participated in the inaugural meeting of Huaxia Electronics also prepared a sumptuous dinner for them in the hotel to enjoy.

Lee Jae-so and his assistant Kim Nam-yong walked to the lobby to take a breath, and saw Toshiba's Kenji Yamamoto and Zhang Ke sitting together and talking intimately, slightly frightened, and saw Kenji Yamamoto stand up and greet him eagerly, and it was inconvenient to turn around and leave, so he had to walk over with Kim Nam-yong.

"Yamamoto-kun and Kumho's Jang Jun know each other?"

"Moriyama once told me that Mr. Zhang is the godfather of China's consumer electronics industry, how can I not know him?" Kenji Yamamoto said jokingly.

Zhang Ke calmly looked at Lee Jae-so, the special manager of HG Samsung in China, and didn't know what he would think of when he saw himself standing with Kenji Yamamoto of Toshiba's company in China.

Lee Jae-so is calm on his face, but he is not calm on his heart.

Kumho and Deyi launched DMP technology, Samsung Electronics has put forward a similar idea, due to the Asian financial crisis, the idea has not been taken seriously, and when Lee Jae-so saw Kumho in Japan after the acquisition of online music stores want to actively promote the development of related technologies, only to find that the combination of flash memory technology and digital audio application technology has almost been thoroughly studied by Kumho, which is still a patent situation that has been disclosed before 18 months. As for Kumho's major breakthroughs in flash memory controller technology and embedded flash driver chip technology, it is impossible to know the specific details, but Toshiba spent a lot of effort to develop reliable flash memory controller technology in '97. A product that would have taken Samsung three to five months to develop would have been able to bypass Kumho's patents and take ten times as many times as much manpower. Lee Jae-so can affirm that Kumho has been preparing for DMP technology for a long time, and how can he be calm when he sees Jang Ke again?

This epoch-making consumer electronics product is likely to lead to the global adoption of flash memory technology and the process of large-scale commercial adoption of flash memory technology, but in the past three months, Kumho has produced DMP products, including iPlayer, and has not purchased any flash memory products from Samsung.

At present, only Samsung, Toshiba and Intel have non-volatile flash memory technology, because Intel has focused on the development of processor technology in the past ten years, the research and development of flash memory technology is very insufficient, and the flash memory technology of Samsung and Toshiba is more advanced.

In ninety-eight years, the storage of flash memory technology was extremely limited and expensive, and its application in other fields was extremely limited except for the market prospect of portable electronic products; All DMP player products, including iPlayer, are the first large-scale commercial applications of flash memory technology.

If DMP is popular, Kumho will decide who will have a decisive advantage in the early stage of large-scale commercial applications of flash memory technology.

Although Kumho has always looked down on Kumho, at this time, Lee Jae-so has to admit that Kumho has something in his hands at this time that makes Samsung gain and lose.

Since Kumho's iplayer and DMP player products produced for other electronics manufacturers are all using Toshiba's flash memory technology, seeing Zhang Ke and Toshiba Vice President Kenji Yamamoto standing together, Lee Jae-so is not particularly strange, when he saw Moriyamano from Toshiba's audiovisual affairs department walking into the hall and walking towards them, remembering that the previous rumors that Toshiba intends to buy DMP product technology from Kumho are not groundless, and Toshiba's participation will make DMP technology more rapidly promoted around the world. Naturally, Toshiba will also tend to promote their flash memory technology, right?

Lee Jae-so's face was worried.

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhang's demeanor for two months after the farewell in Tokyo," Moriyamano was not able to translate Yamamoto Kenji, but directly greeted Zhang Ke in Japanese, and nodded to Lee Jae-so, "Li Jun is also here to ......" Seeing the banner hanging in the hotel lobby to celebrate the establishment of Huaxia Electronics, he suddenly said again, "Li Jun is here to attend the inaugural meeting of Huaxia Electronics." ”

In order to blackmail Toshiba with Samsung, Zhang Ke didn't want Moriyamano and Yamamoto Kenji to see that he had a deep personal grudge with Lee Jae-so.

"It's rare for me to meet you in Beijing, can you let me be the east to fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" Jang Ke invited Lee Jae-so and Kim Nam-yong as well, as if he had completely forgotten that he had splashed Lee Jae-so's face with hot tea and slapped Kim Nam-yong half a year ago.

Lee Jae-so's face is uncertain, or Kim Nam-yong is more forbearing, and when others don't notice, he gently tugged at Lee Jae-so's sleeve, for the sake of Samsung, personal grievances are nothing, rather than speculating on the relationship between Kumho and Toshiba without brains afterwards, it is better to endure this tone and follow together to observe the words and colors to see more things.

In fact, Moriyamano saw Zhang Ke and Li Xinyu walking together quite intimately at the Tokyo Electronics Show, and even thought that Kumho and Samsung had a good relationship.

After the person in charge of the Beijing branch, Zhou Yiping, arrived, Zhang Ke invited Mori Shanye, Yamamoto Kenji, Li Zaizhu, Jin Nanyong and others to leave Huaxia Electronics and drive to the nearby Wangfujing Hotel for dinner.

At the same time, the night banquet of the inaugural meeting of Huaxia Electronics was also being prepared, and Ge Jiande was eagerly greeting those distinguished guests, especially the representatives of overseas electronics manufacturers in China, when someone suddenly ran over and told him: "The guests of Samsung and Toshiba have retreated and left ......"

"Why?" Ge Jiande and Keiichi Watanabe, president of Sony in China, stood together and greeted each other, and subconsciously asked.

"Zhou Yiping from Aida Electronics just rushed over, and the representatives of Samsung and Toshiba left the hotel with Zhou Yiping...... "That person doesn't know Zhang Ke, but he knows Zhou Yiping, who represents Kumho in Beijing for public relations and handles various affairs."

Ge Jiande's face was gloomy, at the establishment party of Huaxia Electronics, the people of Kumho came over and pulled away the guests he valued very much for no reason, and he really wouldn't be in a good mood.
