Chapter 20 The benefits of the cellular formula
When Shigeru Miyamoto leaves, Caesar promises that no matter when Miyamoto comes, the door of the FFF will always be open to him, and all the conditions promised before will still be valid.
Walking out of the gate of the Li family, Shigeru Miyamoto looked back at the mansion overlooking Los Angeles, and then turned around and left with a complicated mood.
He came with a mission from Yamauchiura, and Caesar not only did not give him any opportunity to lobby, but extended an olive branch to him Shigeru Miyamoto.
If it weren't for Yamauchiura's kindness to him, he would have wanted to agree to Caesar's solicitation on the spot.
Even now, he understands that sooner or later he will leave Nintendo, because he is tempted.
And Nintendo's road has been blocked, and if you want to come up with your own hardware, you can only hope that the research and development of the next generation of consoles can be ahead of FFF, even if you can't take the lead, you can't be led everywhere like now, and blocked everywhere.
From what he knew from his brief contact with Caesar, he couldn't tell if Caesar was hostile to Japan, but Caesar was absolutely hostile to Nintendo, and he would never give Nintendo any chance.
This is also the reason why Shigeru Miyamoto has no hope for Nintendo, and is being targeted by the industry overlord of another country, is it okay?
If this FFF is a Japanese company, it is better to say, the Japanese government can at least mediate in the name of anti-monopoly. The problem is that people are in the United States, whether they annex you or crush you, the US government will only support it.
No matter how melancholy it was, Shigeru Miyamoto returned to Kyoto without delay.
At this time, Caesar was explaining to his grandfather about Shigeru Miyamoto's visit.
Although it was not necessary, Caesar was also afraid that his grandfather, a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, would have any ideas.
Unexpectedly, the old man was a very high-level person, and Caesar really didn't find out in the past ten years.
In the words of the old man, it means that there is a debtor who is wronged.
If you want to spare the lives of those war criminals, it is absolutely hypocritical, and when the time comes, Confucius, who pays attention to repaying grievances directly, will have to jump up and scold the street when he knows it.
But if revenge is taken for the slaughter of innocents, it becomes dog-eat-dog.
The old man just reminded Caesar to be careful of the Japanese, and the most important feature of the national character of this nation is to bully the weak and the hard.
If you're weak, he'll be with you endlessly, on your neck.
If you are strong, he will pee, and he will kneel, and he will kneel at the door of your house every day, and he will learn from you in vain.
If you don't pay attention to let the good things be learned by him, and when you overtake you, he immediately starts to talk to you endlessly.
Caesar looked like he was obedient and made the old man happy before returning to his room.
Actually, Caesar didn't need the old man to say it, he did the same.
Caesar has been blocking all technologies from Nintendo, and not all of his Playbox console technology has been patented, and there are some things that he uses directly, and the other party can't crack it anyway, and it can't be a copycat.
Because if many technologies and theories are discontinued, it is impossible to understand the basic ideas.
Applying for a patent will lead the other party to get the relevant technical information, but it will cause an oolong such as improving the other party's technical reserves.
Why didn't Coca-Cola's secret recipe sign up? Because registration means openness.
It was November 1982, and Christmas was just over a month away.
Recently, Caesar has been very busy, and every day after school, he goes directly to the hardware factory under FFF and experiments with his uncle on the operation of the "cellular production line".
This is a new production method that Caesar's previous Canon company experimented with and created in the 90s, except for large products such as cars, boats and airplanes, the "cellular" production line can completely replace all "conveyor belt assembly lines".
The so-called cellular type refers to the production line into a small circle, in this small circle, each person is responsible for the assembly of a part, and finally in the hands of a certain person to complete the production of the part or the final assembly of a certain product.
The biggest difference between this cell type and the assembly line is that each person is responsible for different parts every day.
In fact, everyone in this circle of employees is proficient in every process, even if he is the only one, he can assemble a complete part or product from start to finish.
Why does Foxconn n jump in a row? Many people don't have backache when they stand and talk, saying that the second generation of farmers can't endure hardship.
This kind of person has no idea how severely the conveyor-belt assembly line destroys the human soul!
Have you seen Chaplin's Modern Times? The protagonist played by Chaplin took a wrench to screw it, unscrewed it for more than ten hours a day, and when he got off work, he still maintained the habit of screwing what he saw.
The disadvantage of the assembly line is that the assembly line operation is not allowed to ask for leave, because everyone is an indispensable link in the production line, you must find a skilled worker to replace it, if there is no one for you, the whole production line must be stopped. Who is responsible for this loss?
The second disadvantage of the assembly line: the worker has been carrying out simple repetition without invasive force for a long time, and the longer the time, the greater the blow to the spiritual vitality of his whole person.
After a long period of boring repetition, employees will think that their lives are meaningless, and you can't heal this psychological trauma even if you raise your salary, and in the end, there will be n people who jump off the building, and it looks like a contagion.
In fact, their mental states are almost the same, and someone starts and gives them an excuse to find relief on their own.
The assembly line seemed to Caesar like a kind of death hypnosis or curse, and even the most determined person could easily be tortured to the point of being bored.
So after he opened the hardware factory, he has been preparing for cell-based production.
Because he employs a large number of Chinese, disabled people and veterans, the injuries caused by assembly line work have to be taken into account, and cell-based production has to be on the agenda.
The advantage of cellular is that you can take time off at any time, thinking that everyone in the production team in a circle will do everyone's work, even if there is only one person left, but the production speed is slower, but the product will never be discontinued.
The second advantage is that you can change the process.
For example, for an hour, you are responsible for assembling the memory on the Playbox motherboard, and then you are impatient, you can install the CPU, and let the CPU installer install the memory.
In the next hour, you want to assemble the handle again, you can change it with the assembly handle.
This practice of assembling each part and changing positions at any time greatly reduces the mental torture caused by boring repetition.
And because the cell-based production line is a small circle, the distance between the personnel is very close, and there is no delay in chatting during production. While assembling and chatting about short things in daily life, time flies very quickly, people don't feel tired, and the mood is very happy.
When Caesar proposed this cell-based production method and listed the benefits one by one, Li Yu and all the management of the factory were very surprised, and it was a revolutionary innovation in the production of small electronics that was destined to eliminate the conveyor belt line.
Caesar is also secretly proud, this method is copied from a Japanese company, and he has no burden.
In addition to the Chinese employees, he recruited hundreds of veterans in order to get in touch with the military, and since he could torture them without the assembly line, he was of course happy to be a favor and let the military see his sincerity.
Although the top military leaders all over the world are the same, they don't really care about the life and death of veterans at all, but at least the drama on the surface has to be played.
After more than half a month, FFF's hardware factory finally transformed all production lines into cell-based production lines.
Caesar did not hold any cutting ceremony, but gave all workers two days of paid leave as a sign of encouragement. Then let Li Yu take the management to Vegas to eat, drink and have fun, single Wang and big health care.
The only condition is that gambling and drugs are not allowed.
In all of Caesar's properties, employees must remember the three unchanging iron laws: "No gambling", "No drugs", and "No foundations......
