The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 483 PSP Needs Jiangnan

[PS: There is a recommendation on the 20th. The editor greatly requested that the update be released that day, so two updates will be maintained in the past few days, and all the updates will be saved until that day to explode. 】

In the eyes of these people, the Jiangnan Group will definitely invest all the 600 billion yuan it got in real estate and other quick-paying industries. After all, it makes more money and is more stable. Picking up money from the ground up, rather than putting money into concrete production processes.

Many Chinese companies they have seen are like this.

Of course, the purpose of their visit to Wenzhou this time was not for the 600 billion RMB. In fact, they only found out about this news after they arrived in Wenzhou. Their real purpose in coming to Wenzhou was actually to purchase things, a Something they don't have.

"Mr. Matsumoto, I didn't expect you to come here. The Yamato nation, which I am proud of, would not like these gadgets of the Chinese!" Park Kangxi said with a smile, and Matsumoto Yilong's expression was slightly a little bit Ugly.

There is one thing to say, deep in his heart, he feels that it is a shameful thing to come to China to purchase.

He is a representative of Sony Corporation, a top player in Japan's technology industry, and now he wants to go to China to purchase products for the company, what the hell is this!

Of course, Ryuichi Matsumoto would not let Park Chung-hee gain the upper hand, so he said lightly, "Our Sony is indeed one of the best technology companies in the world, but our Sony has not invested much in research and development of memory chips. , we need to buy the best memory chips in the world, which is also a matter of course."

"But isn't your Samsung the best memory chip manufacturer in the world? Why do you want to go to this little Wenzhou to purchase now?"

"Hehe!" Park Kangxi laughed dryly, and after a long silence, he said, "Okay, we are both here to be wronged, so let's stop hitting each other, and the most important thing is to complete the tasks given by the company."

"As far as I know, you made a special trip to Jiangnan Group this morning. Did you meet that boss Huang? Got their promise?" Park Kangxi asked curiously.

"I just drank a cup of tea at their front desk, and I didn't see anyone!" Speaking of this incident, Matsumoto Ryuichi's expression became even uglier.

He did go to Jiangnan Group this morning. The purpose of course was to get Jiangnan Group's commitment to give priority to supplying Sony.However, none of the senior executives of the Jiangnan Group came forward, only a few middle-level leaders of the administrative department were there to receive them.

That's right, it was them. Representatives of at least a dozen companies ran over to make promises. When Ryu Matsumoto saw this posture, he had no face to stay there any longer, and left Jiangnan Group without even sitting down.

"Hey, at least 50 companies have come this time. I have seen more than 20 colleagues. They are all living in this five-star hotel. It seems that it is very difficult to complete the company's mission this time. Difficult!" Park Kangxi sighed.

"By the way, how many chips do you Samsung want to purchase?" Matsumoto Ryuichi asked curiously.

"The more the better, there is no upper limit!" Park Kangxi said with a smile.

"Hehe!" Ryu Matsumoto laughed dryly and stopped talking.

"However, looking at this posture, it is impossible to win them all. Mr. Matsumoto, why don't our two companies unite and win the bulk of this order?" Park Kangxi said solemnly, "Our two companies united. , you can get the biggest share from it and meet the needs of our two families!"

"Okay!" Ryuichi Matsumoto nodded in agreement without thinking too much. No way, whoever made him dream now is thinking about how to complete the task assigned by the above, and swallow the bulk of the memory chip released by Jiangnan Group this time!

About 30 days ago, Sony received an invitation letter, saying that it invited Sony to participate in the memory chip purchasing meeting held by Jiangnan Group.

In this regard, Sony's original attitude was completely dismissive. Just kidding, when will the dignified Sony need to purchase memory chips produced by the Chinese? This is simply the most ridiculous joke in the world. They can really produce memory chips. A product like a chip?
So at that time, the person in charge of Sony's procurement department just threw the invitation letter without knowing where it went.

As a result, when the sale time of Jiangnan Optoelectronics was revealed, and major chip companies all over the world rushed to bid frantically, wanting to win Jiangnan Optoelectronics, Sony realized that something was wrong.

So they inquired a little bit and found out that this Chinese company named Jiangnan Group seems to have really produced a remarkable memory chip, which can crush the entire audience.

Now the Sony Group couldn't sit still. They remembered that the Jiangnan Group also included a few samples of memory chips with the invitation letter and provided them to various companies for testing.

So the entire procurement department was almost turned upside down, and finally found the invitation letter in the toilet, and then suppressed the nausea, opened the invitation letter, took away the chip inside, and took it to the technical department for a test. Sonny knelt up and down immediately.

It is said that the technician in charge of the memory chip test at the time said after the test was completed that the technology of this chip belonged to the devil's technology, because he had no idea how such performance was achieved.

Well, no matter how this performance is achieved, as long as this product is real, it is enough, because now Sony is extremely eager for high-quality memory chips.

The first product that has a huge demand for memory chips is MP3.

Now Sony is planning to launch a brand new high-end MP3. Originally, they planned to purchase a 526MB storage chip from Samsung. This capacity is definitely the highest capacity in the entire MP3 industry. After all, the volume of MP3 is larger than that of a fingerboard. , but this kind of component is much larger than the fingerboard, so the capacity of 526MB is already needed to use the world's top memory chip.

But never expected that Jiangnan Group has launched a memory chip with a capacity of up to 2GB, which is one size smaller than Samsung's 526 memory chip. If other MP3s use this capacity memory chip, Sony will have no face to claim that it has The MP3 is the strongest MP3 in the world.

In fact, among the memory chips sold to the outside world this time, the highest capacity has reached an astonishing 16GB/chip, and the size is only about twice as large as Samsung's 526. If Sony is willing to slightly change the shape of this MP3 In terms of structural design, it really killed the Quartet.

After all, Apple's iPod3 is putting great pressure on the entire MP3 market. Sony was originally the king of the MP3 market, but now it has been completely suppressed by Apple. Sony is counting on this new high-end MP3 to regain the high-end MP3 market, and then radiate the entire market from top to bottom, becoming the world's number one manufacturer of portable music electronic equipment again.

Originally, this title has been held by Sony for nearly 30 years. Since the world's first Walkman, this title has been firmly worn on Sony's head, but now it is taken away by Apple. , This made Sony extremely uncomfortable, and also paid special attention to the memory chips of Jiangnan Group released this time, and issued an order that it must win at least 1 million pieces.

It is best to be able to take them all away, so that the high-capacity MP3 has become an exclusive product of Sony.

And it's not just Sony's MP3 that needs these memory chips, but what's more needed is the PSP, which is still in a state of mysterious research and development.

So at this time, it has basically taken the lead in the game console market. Even though the PS2 was released a year earlier, it still defeated Nintendo’s NGC, which was released a year later. NGC is also known as the worst failure in Nintendo’s history. one of the hosts.

So Sony plans to take advantage of the victory and continue to enter the handheld market. After all, it is still firmly controlled by Nintendo's GBA, and this is a market with more precise profits.

And this product that intends to crush the handheld market is the PSP.

The research and development of Sony's PSP is relatively smooth. At this time, a prototype has basically been produced, and it needs to be further improved before it is launched on the market.

It's just that Sony's PSP is now facing a very difficult problem, that is, the problem of storage media.

At this time, the PSP is faced with two choices, one is the built-in storage space, and then download the game completely through the Internet, and the game itself can be directly stored in the PSP.

The advantage of doing this is that it appears to be of a higher level of technology, completely crushing the handheld card insertion routine that Nintendo is pursuing at this time, that is, playing a handheld game, only by inserting a card to change the game.

In this way, the game cassette itself requires a certain amount of production cost, and it also greatly reduces the player's gaming experience.On the contrary, a PSP with a large built-in memory, which can store dozens of games, does not need to insert a card, and can play as you want will obviously be more sought after and praised by players. After all, this is an absolute advantage in technology.

At the beginning, ps2 was able to defeat Nintendo's mainframe, because it had built-in a large amount of storage space, and abandoned the disc used by ps1, which greatly improved the sense of technology and convenience of the mainframe.

It’s just that if the same routine is used on the PSP, it will be troublesome, because the internal memory chip that the PSP can support is only 256MB at most, so the games that a PSP can store are quite limited.

After all, in 2003, the capacity of a handheld game was basically more than 100MB. If a handheld game can only store 2-3 games, it is better to continue to use the memory stick mode.

Of course, this is the same as the memory chip required by the previous MP3. It is not that there are no higher-capacity memory chips on the market, but the price is too expensive and the volume is too large. If the PSP uses a higher-capacity memory chip, then the entire PSP The manufacturing cost and size of the handheld will increase, which is unacceptable for Sony, which wants to maintain the price of the PSP at $299.

Originally, Sony had decided to compromise internally. The first-generation PSP simply retained a small piece of running memory. As for the game itself, it relied entirely on memory sticks for sales and storage, which means it still returned to the previous era of plug-in cards.

But after the Jiangnan Group launched a new memory chip, it was different. They quoted a 1GB memory chip on the invitation letter for $49 a piece.

This price is the same as the price of the previous 256MB memory chip, but the size is still smaller. If the PSP can use the memory chip of Jiangnan Group, then Sony can create a PSP game handheld that surpasses the times. Completely drove Nintendo's handheld into the abyss and dominated the entire game market.

You said how could Sony miss this opportunity, they must swallow this batch of chips.
