The representative of the manufacturer of Toshiba's booth at this exhibition is named Klaus, who is the company's vice president in North America.

When Klaus heard that there was an Asian businessman interested in their chip products, he immediately walked to the front desk.

"Kunichiva!" At this time, Klaus spoke fluent Japanese, and greeted Duan Yun with a smile: "何か御用でしょうか?"

"Tell him that I am Chinese. Duan Yun said to Wu Hui next to him.

"Hmm. Wu Hui nodded and briefly introduced Duan Yun to Klaus.

"Hello, Mister Duan!" Klaus couldn't hide his surprise when he learned that Duan Yun was a businessman from China.

You know, in the past few years at the CES exhibition, I have never heard of Chinese manufacturers exhibiting, and even few Chinese have come to visit this exhibition, in Klaus's impression, China is a very poor and backward country, and this high-end international electronic goods exhibition is completely untouched.

But in any case, in the face of the merchants who came to inquire, Klaus still maintained professional politeness and asked Duan Yun what help he needed.

"I want to ask you if this flash chip is currently in mass production, and what is the price?" Duan Yun asked Klaus directly in English.

Hearing that Duan Yun could actually talk to himself in English, Klaus was taken aback, so he said to him: "I'm really sorry sir, our storage chip is currently only a concept product, and it has not yet achieved mass production, but because of the use of more advanced technology, the production cost will not be very high." ”

"So that's ......" Hearing this, Duan Yun was somewhat disappointed, his idea of producing repeaters is currently more difficult, the relevant memory chip technology is not yet mature, and he can't buy this kind of chip right away.

"However, if Mr. Duan is interested in this product, he can provide us with a quotation and order amount, and if the order quantity is relatively large, we can consider production. Klaus said to Duan Yun.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and as long as it is profitable, they will find ways to achieve any of your requirements.

Although this kind of bulk chip is currently only a concept product, and Toshiba is not ready to invest manpower and material resources in development and production, it is not impossible to change, as long as there are enough orders, Toshiba is still very willing to develop this business.

In fact, Klaus himself did not have any hope for Duan Yunbao, in his opinion, there is no commercial case for large-scale application of flash memory products in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries, and in poor and backward China, this technology is obviously too advanced, and it is impossible for them to rely on this chip to make a profit in China.

And in Klaus's own impression, although China has developed rapidly in the past two years, it has always been only a dumping ground for Europe, the United States, Japan, and other countries to eliminate backward technologies, a large number of backward technical performance, and even scrapped products, can still find sellers in China, but that's all, the price is high, and there will be no big market for technologically advanced flash memory chips in China.

"If the unit price offered by your company can satisfy me, I can buy millions of these chips from your company every year. Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.

"1 million!?" Hearing this, Klaus couldn't help but gasp, and then asked Duan Duan Yun in a loud voice, "Sir, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Klaus didn't expect Duan Yun to open his mouth to order millions of chips.

"I won't joke about business, but this business has a premise......" Duan Yun paused, and then said: "First of all, the price of chips must satisfy me, if you lion open your mouth, let's forget about this business, the other point is that there are currently restrictions on the international export of high-end chips to China, and you Toshiba must help me get it done in this regard, if everything is fine, we can sign a long-term contract, and within one year, I promise to order millions of chips from your company." ”

Duan Yun's words are very clear, that is, if the chip is too expensive, then there is no need to talk about the business, Toshiba wants to make money here, Duan Yun also wants to make money, no one buys things that are too expensive, and the manufacturer must reduce the cost of this flash memory chip.

Another point is that if Duan Yun wants to import this more advanced chip from a Japanese manufacturer, it may violate the US embargo on China, although in the mid-80s, China and the United States have begun a honeymoon period, and the US military is even willing to sell F16 fighter jets to China, and China is also allowed to import some low-end chip products, but it is still unknown whether this relatively novel flash memory chip will be included in the embargo list by the United States, which needs to be solved by Toshiba.

In fact, Duan Yun also understands that Klaus has no decision-making power in this matter, as for whether he can provide Duan Yun with this kind of flash memory chip, it depends on the meaning of the senior management of Toshiba headquarters, if they feel that this product is profitable, they will set up a special product department, and the annual order of 1 million chips should be enough to attract Toshiba's attention.

"Mr. Duan, if you don't mind, I would like to ask, which Chinese state-owned enterprise are you?" Klaus asked.

"I am the owner of a private electronics factory in China, and we used to mainly produce tape recorders and loudspeaker products, and the previous Tianyin subwoofer was our patented product. Duan Yun said.

"Is there still a private enterprise in China?" Klaus couldn't believe it when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard that there were private enterprises in a socialist country like China, but then he said: "I have used the subwoofer stereo, it is a very good product, it was really invented by your factory?"

Klaus himself had also been exposed to subwoofer audio, and felt that there was no technical threshold, but it was a very good product idea, but he did not expect that this kind of product was actually invented and made by a Chinese company.

"We have international patent certificates for subwoofer speakers, and we have exported many of these subwoofers before. Duan Yun said.

"Ah, I really can't imagine that Mr. Duan is still an inventor!" Hearing this, Cross showed a little respect on his face, and said to Duan Yun: "That's good, about Mr. Duan, if you want to order our company's flash memory chips, I will report to the Japanese headquarters, you leave me your phone number and address, and once things progress, we will contact you as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Duan Yun gave Klaus a thumbs up, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Klaus, and said to him: "This is my business card, I look forward to hearing back from your company!"
