After receiving the invitation from Satoshi Iwata, Hideki Hanyu stood still and looked at it.

Open the invitation, and the invitee writes that it is Elf Entertainment.

The dinner was held at the famous MGM Hotel in Las Vegas.

The time was half past seven in the evening.

"Hanyu-kun, are we going to continue to visit the exhibition?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked.

Hanyu Hideki looked at the invitation and didn't hide from Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Therefore, Yasuko Sawaguchi also saw the information on the invitation.

"Keep shopping, it's still early, you can come with me then."

"But I didn't bring a formal suit."

"I'll buy it later."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took Yasuko Sawaguchi to take a walk around the exhibition.

At Apple's booth, he saw Apple's Lisa computer for the first time.

An operating system that supports graphical user interface, cooperative multitasking, and virtual memory.

There is even commercial software.

I was able to see the shadow of the Mac OS system on the Macintosh.

In this day and age, it really looks like a science fiction movie.

It's no wonder it's called an epoch-making computer.

It's a pity that the epoch-making masterpiece can't hide the performance that is completely inconsistent with the high price.

After asking Apple's staff and knowing that Joe's gang would not be attending the show, Hideki Hanyu left Apple's booth.

Next, he visited the booths of HP, IBM and other brands.

I even went to Nintendo's booth to take a closer look.

Sure enough, Nintendo is selling Disney-themed S&Ws.

As for the effect, it can only be said that it is a little stronger than the half-dead Atari.

When Hideki Hanyu left the Nintendo booth, it was clear that today's exhibition was coming to an end.

He was going to go out early, so he said to Yasuko Sawaguchi, "Let's go too." ”

Yasuko Sawaguchi immediately said excitedly, "Okay." ”

Hanyu Hideki saw Sawaguchi's happy look, so he asked, "Yasuko doesn't like electronics?" ”

In fact, there is no need for Yasuko Sawaguchi to answer, he can already see it.

This girl really has no interest in electronics.

"It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that I can't understand what these things do at all, and it's not as interesting as an electronic pet." Yasuko Sawaguchi replied.

Hideki Hanyu shook his head helplessly.

He knew that it was difficult for Yasuko Sawaguchi to understand that this era that seemed great to electronics technology enthusiasts was really a bit of a strong man.

"Yasuko doesn't have to accompany me tomorrow, let's go shopping with Kitahara-san."

"Isn't President Kitahara busy?"

"Mr. Katz is in charge of the work of the Amerika branch, and bringing Kitahara Sanlai is just to understand the situation, and it's useless to stay here."

The American market has its peculiarities.

It is impossible for Hideki Hanyu to let Eri Kitahara interfere in the management of this side across the Pacific Ocean.

Even he will only arrange strategic directions.

As for the specific operation, it is still the responsibility of Amerika employees.

Yasuko Sawaguchi was not interested in the exhibition, so Hideki Hanyu didn't say much.

Then they talked about where to buy formal clothes for the banquet next.

Speaking of shopping, Yasuko Sawaguchi immediately became interested and talked non-stop with interest.

The two chatted as they walked towards the exit.

But just as they were about to reach the exit, they suddenly heard someone next to them arguing in neon language.

Hideki Hanyu looked curiously and found that the place where the dispute took place was next to the Toshiba booth not far from them.

The arguing are two neon middle-aged men.

One of them, a man with glasses, was confronting the other.

"Vice Minister Ishii, didn't you say that I was going to be on stage at today's press conference? Why was it canceled in the end. ”

The person known as Vice Minister Ishii said, "Makuoka-san, because your speech did not pass the review. ”

"If I continue to make changes, will I still have a chance at the next press conference?" The man in glasses asked in a somewhat pleading tone.

"I'm sorry."

Vice Chief Ishii only said two words, and the meaning was self-evident.

After speaking, Vice Chief Ishii returned to the Toshiba booth.

The man with glasses stood for a moment and then returned to the Toshiba booth, sat in the corner dejectedly, and threw a few pages of documents on the table in front of him.

"Hanyu-kun, why don't you leave."

Yasuko Sawaguchi saw that Hideki Hanyu suddenly stopped moving, and asked strangely.

"Wait a minute."

Hanyu Hideki thought about the conversation between the two just now, and the surname of the man with glasses reminded him of some memories.

Wanting to be sure, he walked over to the table where the man with glasses was sitting.

Look at the papers scattered on the table.

It was not a classified document, but a three-page statement.

The writing is neat, but there are many traces of revision.

First line of the presentation, 'Non-volatile memory in consumer electronics......'

Seeing this beginning, Hideki Hanyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then I took a closer look.

The man with glasses who was in a depressed state of mind didn't notice Hideki Hanyu at first.

But Hideki Hanyu stood for a while and didn't leave, and when he looked up, he found that Hideki Hanyu was reading his speech.

"I'm sorry, I'm here to visit the Toshiba booth, and I stumbled across your article, which was very interesting."

Seeing that the man with glasses had spotted him, Hideki Hanyu explained with a smile.

"It's okay, I was meant to say it for everyone."

The man with glasses said and asked Hideki Hanyu again, "This gentleman is a neon tourist?" ”

"My name is Hideki Hanyu, and I am also an exhibitor, and my club is Genie Entertainment." Hideki Hanyu introduces himself.

"Elf Entertainment? I think I've heard it before, but you are the ones who recently jointly developed a memory chip with Toshiba and used a button battery to drive a memory chip. The man with glasses said.

"That's right." Hideki Hanyu replied.

The savable game cartridge prepared by Genie Entertainment for Pokémon, which is convenient to cooperate with Toshiba.

But at this moment, the man with glasses seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Hideki Hanyu! You are a writer for Hideki Hanyu. ”

The man with glasses looked at Hideki Hanyu seriously, and then said slightly apologetically.

"It's such a faux pas that I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Fujio Masaoka, and I currently work at the Toshiba Integrated Circuit Research Institute."

Hideki Hanyu heard the other party introduce his full name.

In addition to the transcript of the statement on the table.

He could already determine that the middle-aged man with a depressed expression in front of him was the future 'father of flash memory' Fujio Makuoka.

Follow the information in memory.

Although the other party is the 'father of flash memory', it is not taken seriously at Toshiba today.

A researcher, however, was squeezed out to work in sales and production plants.

If it weren't for the director of Toshiba's Integrated Circuit Research Institute, and the help of Yoshiyuki Mushishi, who invited him to join Toshiba, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to return to the institute now.

However, Fujio Masaoka, who has devoted himself to the study of flash memory technology, is now an outlier who is not taken seriously at the Toshiba Research Institute.

Because the mainstream semiconductor memory is DRAM.

Toshiba, on the other hand, made a lot of money by relying on DRAM memory, so it pressed all the treasures on DRAM memory.

There is simply no willingness to invest even a dime in flash technology research.

Fujio Masaoka is completely dependent on his spare time to continue research.

So much so that it was Fujio Masaoka who first published the NOR flash memory paper, but it was Intel that first mass-produced NOR flash memory chips.

Later, when he could not apply for research funds, Fujio Masaoka relied on the support of his director, Yoshiyuki Takeshi, and invented NAND flash memory.

U disks, SSDs, SD cards and other products are based on this technology.

But Toshiba's reward for him was only a pitiful few hundred dollars.

Just when Toshiba finally began to pay attention to flash memory, the director of the research institute, Kiyuki Takeishi, died suddenly.

After the institute lost its most important supporter, Fujio Masaoka, the 'father of flash memory', was completely marginalized by Toshiba and was ostracized to the point of resigning.

Toshiba was reluctant to admit that Fujio Masaoka was the inventor of flash memory.

After the turn of the millennium, Fujio Masaoka also took Toshiba to court.

In the end, Toshiba paid 87 million yen in compensation.

The "father of flash memory" said that the purpose of his lawsuit was not money.

Rather, I hope to make the neon society more respectful of technicians.

As a traverser, Hideki Hanyu can understand the thoughts of Fujio Masaoka.

Because in this day and age, the status of engineers in neon companies is not high.

Even if they create some kind of important invention, the rewards given by companies are often very stingy.

But even so, they must remain "loyal" to the company.

That's why Hideki Hanyu promotes a series of benefits in his club.

For example, reward dividends, such as house buying benefits, those technicians will be so flocking.

It's really not taken seriously, and it's rare to meet a good boss, and everyone is flattered.

Looking at Hideki Hanyu, Fujio Masaoka showed a regretful expression.

"My family and I love Hanyu-sensei's work, and we went to the line at the signing party in Tokyo before, but we ended it before we arrived, and I knew that I would meet Hanyu-sensei here, so I should have brought your work."

"If Masaoka-san wants to sign an autograph, he can go back to Tokyo and contact me when the time comes."

Hideki Hanyu said as he handed over his business card.

After Fujio Masaoka took it, he also gave back a business card of his own.

After putting away his business card, Fujio Masaoka began to sort out the speeches scattered on the table.

Thinking that Hideki Hanyu was watching just now, he casually asked, "Is Hanyu-sensei interested in semiconductor storage technology?" ”

Hideki Hanyu shook his head, "I'm not good at technology, but I just think that once the technology mentioned in this manuscript is successfully developed, it should change the mode of the game cartridge." ”

"Hanyu-sensei is too optimistic, according to the current technical conditions, even if it is successfully mass-produced, it will be difficult to apply it to the game cartridge in terms of storage space and price."

Fujio Masaoka has a very clear understanding of the technology he is studying.

"Technology is always advancing, isn't it? I think this storage technology is very promising. ”

Hanyu continued with a smile, "If nothing else, if this storage technology is successfully mass-produced, even if it can't be used to store games, it will replace the memory chip that we are working with Toshiba on, and there will be no need for cumbersome button batteries." ”

"It should be no problem, the biggest feature of the storage technology I developed is that the stored data will not disappear after the power is off."

"Then it'......"

Hearing that Hideki Hanyu was so optimistic about the storage technology he was working on, Fujio Masaoka suddenly felt like he had met a confidant.

Pulling Hanyu Hideki and chatting with great interest.

However, before the two of them could talk for a few words, a Toshiba staff member came over and informed Fujio Masaoka that it was time to end today's exhibition and asked him to go backstage to help.

"I don't think I can talk to Hanyu-sensei."

Fujio Masaoka looked regretful.

In a chat with Hideki Hanyu, Fujio Masaoka found that Hideki Hanyu recognized his storage technology research and development route very much.

He is even more optimistic about the application prospects of this storage technology than him.

So even though it's just the first time they met, it makes him feel like he's like-minded with Hideki Hanyu and hates to see each other late.

"Doesn't Mazuoka-san have my contact information, if you want to talk in the future, you can contact me at any time." Hideki Hanyu said.

"That's right, we'll have time when we get back to Tokyo." Fujio Masaoka said.

Bidding farewell to Fujio Masaoka, Hideki Hanyu found Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was standing in front of Toshiba's booth with a bored face.

"Let's go."

"The person I was chatting with just now was a friend of Hanyu-kun?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked curiously.

"Not yet."

Hideki Hanyu said something that made Yasuko Sawaguchi strange.

However, Hanyu Hideki didn't explain again, so she didn't ask about it again.

Instead, he asked something else, "Where are we going next?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to prepare clothes for you for dinner, I remember there's a mall next to the hotel, go there first."

Hideki Hanyu replied.

The two left the exhibition, found Marco who was waiting outside in his car, got in the car and drove towards the mall that Hanyu Hideki had said.

After arriving at the mall, Hideki Hanyu found that although the mall was not large, it was still complete with counters for major brands.

After Yasuko Sawaguchi came in, she strolled around with great interest.

Hanyu Hideki saw that Yasuko Sawaguchi had been shopping for a long time, and he didn't choose good clothes.

I thought that although there was still some time before the dinner began, I couldn't let Yasuko Sawaguchi go on like this.

After all, it still takes time to prepare for the follow-up and hurry.

So he still urged, "Yasuko, I bought clothes today to attend the dinner party, just find a beautiful one." ”

"But everything is beautiful, and I don't know which one to choose."

Obviously, this girl has already picked her eyes.

Hanyu looked up and found a Chanel store, and immediately had an idea.

He said to Yasuko Sawaguchi, "Go to Chanel." ”

If you want to be elegant, you can't go wrong with Chanel's little black dress.

This is definitely the safety card that women will not make mistakes when attending formal occasions.

took Yasuko Sawaguchi into the Chanel clothing counter, directly explained his intentions, and asked the clerk to help Yasuko Sawaguchi choose a suitable little black dress.

Rejecting the clerk's coffee inquiry, Hideki Hanyu sat down in a waiting chair near the door.

Then watching Yasuko Sawaguchi change into a different style of little black dress, he gave his opinion again.

If the skirt is too long, give up first, although the proportion of this girl's figure is good, but her height can't hold up.

Then you can't ask for a big V-neck, and your figure can't hold up.

You can't ask for similar suspenders, after all, it's going to a dinner party, and some are not formal enough.

Try to the end.

When Yasuko Sawaguchi walked out of the locker room wearing a babydoll-style little black dress.

Hideki Hanyu's eyes lit up suddenly.

The design of this skirt will not only make the person who wears it look taller.

And the shape is elegant but sweet.

It is very suitable for the figure and temperament of Yasuko Sawaguchi.

It's good to be able to choose such a suitable garment without customization.

"That's it." Hideki Hanyu immediately made a decision.

"Okay."

Yasuko Sawaguchi happily agreed.

Apparently she liked the dress too, and turned around and went to the dressing room to change and prepare for the clerk to pack.

Hideki Hanyu walked to the cash register at the door and went to pay with his card.

And just as he was checking out, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside.

The sound seemed to come from the Chanel handbag counter next door.

At first, Hideki Hanyu didn't care.

But when he heard the noise, there was a Huaxia language, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Walked out the door and looked at the counter in the Gobi.

He found seven or eight young girls standing inside, arguing with a white lady standing at the counter.

But most of them have a bad level of English, and they basically speak Huaxia.

There is a girl in the middle who can speak English and is trying to communicate with the cabinet sister, but the level can only be regarded as average.

And the girl, who has an average level of English, is also affected by the sound of her peers arguing when she stumbles to communicate with the cabinet sister.

As a result, her communication was completely ineffective.

Seeing that the cabinet sister was "besieged" by a group of people, she was angry and shouted that she wanted to call the police.

Hideki Hanyu hurriedly walked in and said to the cabinet sister, "This lady, please don't be impulsive. ”

He is not a nosy character.

The reason for the persuasion.

It was because he found out that the one of the girls who could speak English was Xiao Liu who hit him at the San Francisco Chinese Center.

In a foreign country, he is also an acquaintance who has had a one-sided relationship, and he is a Chinese.

I can't just turn a blind eye.

Hideki Hanyu's voice was so loud that both people stopped when they heard it.

When a few girls saw Hideki Hanyu, they felt inexplicably familiar.

It soon became clear that this was the famous writer who had taken a picture with them in San Francisco.

After all, Hideki Hanyu's appearance is still easy for girls to remember.

Especially Xiao Liu, after all, he had a deep impression of Hideki Hanyu because of that collision before the group photo.

As for the white cabinet sister, after seeing Hideki Hanyu's Asian appearance, she wanted to say something with a displeased expression.

But when Hideki Hanyu came up to her, she swallowed her words.

He even put away his displeased expression and revealed a very enthusiastic smirk.

None of them.

Because of the suit on Hideki Hanyu, at first glance, it looks like an expensive haute couture.

In addition to the haute couture suit, she also recognized that Hideki Hanyu was wearing LOTOS glasses on her face.

As a cabinet sister in a luxury store, she still has some discernment.

As far as the pair of glasses on Hideki Hanyu's face is concerned, the price is definitely not less than 100,000 US dollars.

Someone who can wear a sports car on her face, she definitely can't afford to provoke.

She dared to disrespect Asians, but she did not dare to disrespect the dollar.

Hanyu Hideki saw that both parties had stopped, so he looked at his only acquaintance, "Miss Liu, can you tell me what happened?" ”

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was in the field.

Xiao Liu can only put the hope of solving the problem on Hanyu Hideki.

Hurriedly told what happened.

Very cliché accident.

The cabaret had just arrived in Las Vegas in the afternoon, and a few of them decided to go out for a walk, and then they went to the mall and visited the Chanel counter.

Sister Cabinet recommended a handbag to them, and they looked at it and returned it to Sister Cabinet.

But at this time, the cabinet sister said that they had scratched the bag and had to buy it.

And told them that the bag was sold for $7,900.

Even their family conditions are not bad in China.

But 7,900 US dollars, according to the current official exchange rate of almost 1 to 2, is equivalent to 16,000 Huaxia dollars.

That's a huge number.

What's more, it's still the dollar that is being asked.

They heard from the overseas Chinese who funded the performance that the official exchange rate could not be exchanged for money at all, and the real exchange rate was about 1 to 8, and there was no market.

In other words, this handbag actually costs more than 60,000 Chinese coins.

With such an expensive price, how could they admit that they scratched it.

This was the ensuing dispute.

After listening to this, Hideki Hanyu asked the cabinet sister again.

The answer is pretty much the same.

There are more, and they have been warned in advance that their handbags are easy to scratch, so that they can pay attention to how to do it.

"Can you show me the bag?" Hideki Hanyu said.

Hearing this, the counter sister took out a handbag.

Hideki Hanyu saw that this is a classic Chanel 2.55 handbag.

Gold chain strap, quilted pattern, lambskin fabric.

Under the guidance of the cabinet sister, he saw a slight scratch on the side of the handbag.

This kind of scratch is not serious, of course, it is no problem to use it yourself, but it certainly cannot be sold as a new bag.

Although lambskin fabrics have many advantages, it is a common problem that they are not durable.

Just looking at the scratches, it doesn't look like a hand can scratch it.

But the problem is that Xiao Liu and they are the last to meet, even if they are not them.

If the cabinet sister really called the police, the Amerika police would only think that they had done it.

Especially in this era, they are still Chinese.

Looking at the panic and uneasiness hidden in the eyes of several girls, Hanyu Hideki sighed helplessly.

"I bought this bag." Hanyu Hideki said to the cabinet sister.

Hideki Hanyu speaks English that others can't understand, but Xiao Liu can understand it.

She hurriedly said to Hideki Hanyu, "Mr. Hanyu, we can't let you ......"

But before she could finish her words, Hanyu Hideki interrupted with a smile and raised his hand, "It's okay, this money is nothing to me." ”

Hideki Hanyu understood.

Instead of arguing here about who is right and who is wrong, and finally bringing in the police, it is better to just buy the bag.

He would rather pay for it than deal with the troublesome Amerika police.

And like he said, a few thousand dollars really isn't much to him.

And after hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, the cabinet sister immediately happily packed the bag for Hanyu Hideki and sent it over.

looked like he was afraid that Hideki Hanyu would regret it.

Hanyu Hideki took the bag after paying the bill, and handed it to Xiao Liu next to him without thinking about it.

"We're also fated, and I'll give you this bag."

A package of several thousand dollars, he didn't care at all.

And it's already scratched, and it's a little inappropriate to give it to your own woman or friend.

"It's too expensive, I can't ask for it." Thinking of such an expensive price, Xiao Liu hurriedly refused.

"I've got the bag here, don't forget to take it."

Hanyu Hideki ignored Xiao Liu's refusal, put the bag directly on the counter, and then turned around to leave.

"This ......" Xiao Liu's beautiful face was a little overwhelmed.

"Xiao Liu, take it."

"Mr. Hanyu is also a good person."

"That's it, Sister Liu, if you don't want it, I'll want it."

……

Xiao Liu's companions persuaded loudly, their eyes somewhat envious.

I thought to myself about how this good thing happened to Xiao Liu.

This is a bag worth tens of thousands of Chinese coins.

Hearing his companion's words, Xiao Liu was somewhat moved.

And she didn't want to give it to anyone else.

She looked at Hideki Hanyu with some embarrassment and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hanyu." ”

"Miss Liu, you're welcome, since the matter has been resolved, then I will leave."

Hideki Hanyu was about to leave after speaking.

Hearing that Hideki Hanyu kept calling her Miss Liu, Xiao Liu shouted at Hideki Hanyu while Hideki Hanyu hadn't left yet.

"Mr. Hanyu, my name is Liu Xiaoli."
