Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 163: Recruiting Talents
Waseda University's strength in the field of economics currently ranks only fourth.

Not as good as the University of Tokyo, nor as good as Keio University and Hitotsubashi University.

However, with its advantage of large number of students, Waseda has narrowed the gap with the top three.

In some aspects in the future, we may even rank first.

"The Osaka area? It's better not to touch that place. It's too chaotic."

"Indeed, it's too messy."

The two people don't think the same thing.

Ichiro Haneda was thinking about the underworld issues.

Osaka is the most important base of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the underworld problem is very serious.

Not to mention companies, even many government officials have to take the initiative to curry favor with the Yamaguchi-gumi leader.

The Yamaguchi-gumi is currently splitting up, and if you make friends with one side, it's easy to offend the other side.

Although your life won't be in danger, being threatened all the time is not a good thing.

Masato Takeshita was a Chinese in his previous life, and the underworld was not something that could be discussed publicly, so he did not think about this aspect at first.

He was thinking of Onoue, if Uno Noriyuki went to Osaka to take up the post.

It is easy to be used as a tool by the local branch manager, with little credit made and in the end one still has to bear the blame.

but,

Although the two of them were heading in different directions, they both ultimately wanted their senior to stay away from the Kansai region, which was a different kind of convergence.

The next morning, Masato Takeshita called Uno Noriyuki early.

"Congratulations, Uno-senpai."

"Congratulations to me, congratulations for what?"

Uno Jixing was a little confused and didn't know where the joy came from.

"I heard that the senior is going to be promoted."

"No, it's just news, it may not be accurate."

Uno Noriyuki is very steady, and he won't make big promises even if something is almost a done deal.

These days, nothing is 100%.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if an accident happened?

"Is that so?" Takeshita Masato smiled in understanding, then turned around and asked, "Then I wonder where you plan to work if you leave Tokyo."

"Well, I think we should go to the Northeast."

Japan's northeastern region is not very wealthy and is a lower-level alternative for those who cannot find employment in Tokyo.

Uno Jixing was quite satisfied with this position.

It is not too far from Tokyo, so you can get the relevant information from the headquarters at any time.

"not bad."

"Yeah, it's okay. Please take good care of your business in the future."

"Don't worry, there won't be any less."

Masato Takeshita thought of the wafer factory in Ibaraki Prefecture and decided to shift the loan target to the Tohoku region in the future.

Alumni should take care of each other so that the business can grow bigger and bigger.

After chatting with Senior Uno, Masato Takeshita returned to Xinghai Semiconductor.

“Do we have enough R&D personnel now? Do we need to cooperate with the school?”

Matsumoto's manufacturing process is relatively simple and basically does not require cooperation with schools.

The Star Ocean game mainly relies on creativity and also does not require any school resources.

As for Xinghai Capital, it is the one that the school actively curries favor with.

Because Xinghai Capital can help the school make more money instead of asking the school for help.

Xinghai Semiconductor is different, it requires a lot of intellectual resources.

The company's own employees alone could not meet the rapid expansion requirements of Xinghai Semiconductor. So Masato Takeshita went to the United States, immediately set up a laboratory there, and invited Chinese scientists with limited funding such as Hu Zhengming to cooperate.

The United States has already opened, and our country’s universities cannot miss out.

The University of Tokyo, Tohoku University, Tsukuba University, Kyoto University and other universities are all universities that Masato Takeshita is eager to cooperate with.

As for private schools, their strength in science is far inferior to that of public schools.

Except for Waseda University, which has some basic knowledge, the others are basically not very good.

"We don't need some of these projects yet." Gerstner was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of the American laboratory and changed his tone as if nothing had happened: "We don't need them at our headquarters, but our subsidiary Xinghai OEM has a lot of areas for cooperation."

"I think we can start by cooperating with the nearby University of Tsukuba. The University of Tsukuba is pretty good in the field of computer science and should be able to help us solve many of the problems."

The University of Tsukuba is not an imperial university, but with the support of policies and strong vision, it has grown into a famous national university that is no less than an imperial university.

Speaking of which, the University of Tsukuba is a bit like an alternative to Stanford, and the area nearby is known as the Silicon Valley of Japan.

If Japan's semiconductor industry continues to remain strong, it may be able to develop into Japan's Stanford.

It is difficult to compete with the University of Tokyo and the University of Kyoto, but there is still a good chance to catch up with Tokyo Institute of Technology.

"Well, then invest a few million and see how it goes."

"no problem."

After talking about cooperation with universities, Masato Takeshita talked about the issue of internationalization.

“When are you going to America?”

"About a week later. Currently, Xinghai OEM still has some business that needs to be adjusted."

"Well, I'll see you off then."

Lou Gerstner's role is somewhat similar to that of IBM, which helped Huawei improve its management system. He is a great contributor to Star Ocean Semiconductor.

Without him, the company would have been in chaos for who knows how long.

"No need, just go to America."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After inspecting the semiconductors, Masato Takeshita returned to Matsumoto Manufacturing.

He was waiting for a call from the United States to get a brief understanding of the situation there.

"President, we have followed your instructions and successfully established a branch in the United States. We have also poached Mr. Chamberson, a middle-level manager of Wang Laboratories."

Wang Laboratories is a large company that can still compete with IBM.

However, Wang An, the chairman of Wang An Computer, was too family-oriented, which led to a very divided management of Wang An Computer. It was precisely because of this that Matsumoto Manufacturing was able to poach talents easily.

Of course, this is also related to the position given by Matsumoto.

After joining the North American branch of Matsumoto Manufacturing, he was immediately appointed deputy manager, responsible for the marketing of suitcases.

"Focus on training him. The day you come back, he will take over the North American branch."

Chamberson is still unknown, but he will become Cisco's chairman in the future.

It was under his leadership that Cisco's market value reached $6000 billion at its peak.

Of course, most of this is just bubbles.

But even so, Chamberson is still very good.

When he took over Cisco, it was just a small company with a market value of several hundred million. After he left, Cisco had grown into a giant company with a market value of over one hundred billion US dollars.

As for Cisco's later generations, it did not make any progress and its market value even began to decline.

This has nothing to do with Chamberson, it’s mainly because the people on Wall Street are too greedy.

If technology companies only want to make money but don’t engage in research and development, they will sooner or later be abandoned by the market.

"Yes, President!"

Kobayashi Hiroaki had already vaguely realized this and was not surprised.

Instead, he was very curious about how his president knew about Chamberson, whose abilities were indeed outstanding.
