John Kishimoto didn't quite understand Lin Yan's thoughts, and he didn't know why Lin Yan didn't choose those projects that seemed to be more high-end, and chose to invest in such a small company that made improved keyboards.

"Are you really sure you're investing in this company?" John Kishimoto reconfirmed. The reason why he confirmed this was because he was responsible for Lin Yan's actions.

He is an employee of the Chiba Group in the United States. Although, the Chiba Group does not have much business in the United States. However, Japanese companies nowadays, regardless of whether they have a presence in the U.S. or not, will establish a branch office in the U.S. as long as they have the ability. The significance of establishing this branch is not only to have the mentality of following the trend and comparing, but also to grasp the pulse of the United States and adjust the domestic business.

In any case, the United States is the world's number one power in this era. Even if they decouple the dollar from gold, as long as they keep printing money, there will still be people who will pay for it. Other countries buy large amounts of U.S. Treasury bonds to ensure the quality of life for Americans.

In other words, the reason why the American people live in such a superior condition is because all countries in the world are paying for them.

Every hamburger and every vertical bar eaten by the American people has the blood and sweat of the people of other countries.

In fact, even if the real estate prices in the whole of Tokyo are combined, you can buy half of the United States. However, the lives of ordinary people in Japan are still much worse than those in the United States.

When life in the United States became more restrictive, they wanted to kill chickens to improve their food. Japan can only wait to be captured, and even have to bring their own vermicelli and shiitake mushrooms. Make Uncle Sam happier when he eats.

This is the sadness of countries like Japan and South Korea. No matter how good the development is, the people will work hard. When someone else needs it. They can only give them enough money to feed them.

"Hmm. That's it. Please inform the lawyer and draw up the contract. Lin Yan said to John Kishimoto.

He turned his head and said to the young man who was receiving them, "What's your name?" ”

The young man said, "Hello, my name is Steve Jobs. ”

"Jobs?" Lin Yan felt that the name was a bit subtle.

He's not a collector either, though. When I was reborn, I thought about collecting plastic figurines and clay figurines, and brought these future cattle men under my command.

This Jobs in front of you. Nor Apple's Jobs. In fact, the current Lin Yan is really not as rich as Steve Jobs, who sold computers.

The sales situation of Apple computers looks more objective, because Lin Yan has gone to so many companies to look at it, and basically see Apple's computers.

Of course, a computer is not only a personal computer, but also a server. The large server side is basically monopolized by the Deep Blue Giant, while the small and medium-sized ones are like this. There is a company that is not too strong to compete with the Deep Blue Giant.

However, although Deep Blue Giant has strong technical power, it also has a very good relationship with the government. However, they are in the field of personal computers. But it didn't open up the situation. The market share is not too large.

It is said that the Deep Blue Giant is brewing a big project for this purpose. But. They do a good job of secrecy, and few people know what they're up to.

But. If someone wants to ask Lin Yan. Lin Yan will really help them leak secrets. Said they were planning a PC project.

This personal computer project is basically a standard. It has a variety of standard interfaces. Corresponding specifications. Then, open up the project. Let anyone who wants to make a computer join in.

In other words, garage companies also have the ability to make personal computers. I have the ability to make and assemble a personal computer.

This is a big breakthrough, because in the past, only companies with strong technical strength were able to design a computer. And now you can do it if you want to.

The consequence of this development is that the number of brands on the market has increased rapidly, and the categories have been greatly enriched. It can provide all types of users with the computers they need. The price has also become cheaper and cheaper because of the competition between each other, the development of science and technology, and the stimulation of sales. The higher the popularity, the cheaper it will be. Until, finally, computers can enter thousands of homes.

In a word, it ushered in a new era of personal computers.

And this was the golden age of cheap keyboards.

"You have a good idea, tell me, how much do you want me to invest? How much do you want me to own? Lin Yan asked Jobs.

Jobs scratched his head, and he didn't know how much to invest. In fact, he started the company for only three hundred dollars. And until now, three hundred dollars has been spent, and the new keyboard is still far away. If the money is spent, his business will fail. He also needs to go back to his home and go to school as usual.

The atmosphere in the United States encourages people to start their own businesses, which is why there are a lot of garage companies, all kinds of inexplicable small businesses. It's actually a very interesting thing. Compared with Japan's conservative social atmosphere, the United States is more dynamic.

If you fail to start a business, you are still a brave man, unlike Japan, where you can almost never raise your head if you fail to start a business.

Lin Yan turned his head and said to John Kishimoto, who had just come back from the door and finished making a phone call, "John, what do you think of the comparison between Japan and the United States." What kind of difference there is. Can Japan reach the same heights as the United States? ”

John Kishimoto thought for a moment and said in Japanese, "Probably not. Japan is so small and there are so many people. The point is, there's not a bit of vitality over there. It's so lifeless that I fear that one day, all of Japan will decline because of such a dull social system. ”

Lin Yan nodded, he didn't expect this guy with a funny name to think quite reliably. Basically in line with his own ideas.

Of course, Lin Yan also knows that his thoughts are not necessarily correct. He also knows that there must be many people in Japan who are aware of this problem.

The industry in Japan is stable, and there are very few job hopping. It's a good thing for businesses that they don't lose talent. It will not happen that the talents that you have worked so hard to cultivate will be poached overnight.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious, there is no such job-hopping communication. A group of people will always be in contact with the people around them, and their ideas will be solidified, so that they will become less innovative.

There is no collision of sparks of thinking, no brainstorming of two ideas, and you can only follow the rules and go down one road. Even if you make a mistake, you won't find out. Thus suffered a big loss.

Japanese manufacturers can be pitted by three mourners, which is very revealing. (To be continued......)
