Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 296 Some are happy and some are sad

"President, I have accomplished my mission and succeeded."

Hearing Nakamura Kyuji's excited voice, Takeshita Masato was stunned at first, then asked subconsciously.

"Succeeded, what succeeded?"

But he quickly realized what was being said on the other end of the phone and immediately stood up and shouted excitedly.

"What? You said it was successful. Our blue LED was successful!"

The three primary colors of red, green and blue can reproduce the light similar to the sun. The blue LED light plus yellow phosphor can also reproduce the light similar to the sun.

Sunlight is the most suitable light for human eyes.

If this is the only thing, it is not enough to excite young people.

The key is that when LED lights emit light with a similar intensity to incandescent lamps, they consume only one-tenth of the electricity of incandescent lamps. In other words, using LED lights can save a lot of electricity and has very strong commercial realization capabilities.

Therefore, after Kyuji Nakamura developed the blue light LED in his previous life, Nichia Chemical was able to grow into the world's largest LED company in just a few years.

"Yes, I have developed blue LED as the president entrusted me to do."

Nakamura Kyuuji was very grateful for the young man's support for his research, so he called him as soon as he succeeded.

"Great, great, you are worthy of being Nakamura-kun."

The invention of commercial blue light LED will not only bring about a revolution in human lighting, but will also have a profound impact on computers, mobile phones and other fields.

Of course, this time may still be a long time away.

Therefore, at present, Xinghai Group’s focus of research and development is still LCD, or liquid crystal display technology.

The leader in this area is Sharp, but Korean companies such as Samsung are quietly surpassing it.

Now that Xinghai Group has gotten involved, the future may turn into a four-way battle for supremacy.

"Thank you for the compliment, President."

"It's not an exaggeration at all. This is a Nobel Prize-level research and development success with huge commercial monetization capabilities. I'm going to Tokushima now."

The red, green and blue LED lights have long waves, so they are relatively easy to make. The blue light has short waves, so it is very difficult to make.

This is also why among the research and development of red, green and blue LED lights, only the blue light LED ultimately achieved Nobel Prize-level results.

"Notify the airport that I will go to Nichia Chemical immediately."

After ending the call with Kyuji Nakamura, the young man immediately gave instructions to Keiko Sakai.

"Hi!"

Hearing the urgency in his president's tone, the secretary general took action immediately without delay.

Tokushima is not far from Tokyo, and in less than three hours the young man landed at Tokushima Airport on a private plane.

Nichia Chemical President Eiji Ogawa didn't know what was going on, but since the company's largest shareholder was visiting, he naturally had to go to greet him.

After a brief greeting, he asked in confusion, "I wonder if the president has something to tell you about your sudden visit this time?"

The young man was stunned, but he quickly understood.

It seems that Kyuji Nakamura has not yet informed Eiji Ogawa of his research results, so he is now confused about his visit.

"Yes, there are some things, but since he hasn't revealed them, let me keep it a secret for now."

After saying that, the young man ignored Ogawa Eiji's even more confused look and simply went to Nichia Chemical.

After the car arrived at Nichia Chemical, Masato Takeshita went straight to Kyuji Nakamura's laboratory.

He knocked on the door politely, and then after getting permission from Kyuji Nakamura, he excitedly walked into the laboratory.

"Congratulations, Nakamura-kun. Your experiment will win the Nobel Prize, and the company will give you the highest treatment."

"This, President, you are exaggerating too much, aren't you?"

Kyuji Nakamura knew that his invention was important, but he didn't fully realize how important it would be.

He thought his patented invention would only bring the company a few hundred million yen in revenue each year. He never expected that blue LED technology would push the company to the top of the world and earn hundreds of billions of yen each year.

"It's no exaggeration. The company will give you the first major prize of 7 billion yen in July and will also establish a state-of-the-art laboratory in Tokyo."

"As for more rewards, we need to wait until the patent officially makes money."

After hearing the young man's words, before Nakamura Kyuji could speak, Ogawa Eiji couldn't help it.

"Such a generous treatment, what happened?"

The young man responded without even turning his head, “Nakamura-kun has realized commercializable blue LED technology, so these rewards are necessary.”

Masato Takeshita found it ridiculous when he thought about how in his previous life, Eiji Ogawa only gave Nakamura Kyuji a bonus of 2 yen because he hated him.

Some Japanese have no respect for the intellectual achievements of their employees at all, their brains are simply filled with bubbles.

"President, there's no need to do this, there's no need to do this, I can't do this..."

Kyuji Nakamura didn't expect that he would win such a huge bonus, and he was completely at a loss.

10 billion yen, this was more money than he could ever earn in his entire life.

"Needless to say, you deserve this. Blue LED technology deserves this reward."

Masato Takeshita used strong words and gave no room for anyone to refute.

Because the invention of Nichia's blue LED technology was entirely the work of Kyuji Nakamura alone. Not only did he conduct related experiments alone, but he also made many of the equipment himself.

That’s right, many of the key equipment for manufacturing blue light LEDs were developed by Kyuji Nakamura himself.

He has very strong hands-on ability and is a true Japanese hand-rubbing master.

"This……"

Compared to Nakamura Kyuji's excited expression of dying for his confidant, Ogawa Eiji's expression was much more complicated and kept changing.

He was very surprised at first, and couldn't believe that Nakamura Kyuji had really invented practical blue light LED technology. Then he was sure that the young man couldn't be joking about such a thing, and wanted to refute loudly, thinking that he couldn't give such a large reward.

But when he thought of the shares held by Xinghai Group, Eiji Ogawa opened his mouth repeatedly and finally said nothing.

Since its first investment, Xinghai Group has had the opportunity to increase its equity ratio.

Now, the Ogawa family is already a minority in Nichia Chemical, and the vast majority of shares are in the hands of Xinghai Group.

If he doesn't obey, he will most likely be killed.

As for the earlier gentleman's agreement, we can only adapt to the past.

At that time, Xinghai Group was just starting out and did not have many management talents. It was easy to deal with the Ogawa family, but it was difficult to run and manage Nichia Chemical well.

It’s different now. Xinghai Group can easily find qualified replacements.

"President, let's put aside the rewards for now. You haven't seen my research and development results yet."

"Yes, yes. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten the important matter."

The young man laughed and followed Nakamura Kyuji into the experimental site.

"Beautiful, so beautiful. Our products will be sold all over the world soon."

Masato Takeshita was very excited when he saw the bright blue light. A Nobel Prize-winning achievement appeared in his own laboratory, and the company's reputation would be further enhanced.

"Yeah, it's really beautiful."

Ogawa Eiji was very smart, and he realized the importance of blue LEDs at the first time. Although he felt sorry for the huge bonus, he had to admit that it was worth it.

After witnessing with his own eyes that Nakamura Kyuji's blue light LED technology had reached commercial standards, Takeshita Masato immediately turned around and gave instructions. "President Ogawa, register the relevant patents immediately. As for the results publicity, it needs to be carried out at the Xinghai Group headquarters in Tokyo."

Compared with Nichia Chemical, Xinghai Group is obviously more well-known. Even if it publicly announced in front of the media that it had successfully developed commercializable blue light LED technology, there would not be too many doubts.

Unlike Nichia Chemical in its previous life, no one believed it at the beginning.

Of course, this is normal.

At that time, Kyuji Nakamura was just a master's student at a second-rate university, and Nichia Chemical was just a township-level enterprise in a remote area.

It would be strange if it wasn't questioned.

To give an inappropriate example,

It's like in a county-level city in an ordinary province in China where university education is very average, a company suddenly says it has developed quantum computers or nuclear fusion technology.

If no one questions this, it would be truly stupid.

"Hi, got it!"

At this point, Eiji Ogawa had no choice but to execute.

However, from now on, it is a very good thing that the guy I hate the most has left Tokushima. At least I will feel much better.

After quickly arranging the company's affairs, Masato Takeshita looked at Kyuji Nakamura gently.

"Nakamura-kun, do you have any opinion on moving to Tokyo? If you really don't want to move, we can build the best laboratory near your home."

If you want to gain the inner recognition of a great talent, in addition to the indispensable material rewards, you must also respect him. And building a laboratory near the talent's home is the best way to show respect.

In its previous life, Huawei used this method to attract many top scientific research talents.

Of course, the first country to do this was the United States.

Top American companies attach great importance to scientific research talents and are willing to reward them with large sums of money.

Unlike Japan, where rewards for intelligence are very strict.

The top scientific research talents that Xinghai Group currently possesses, Fujio Masuoka and Kyuji Nakamura, were both disgusted by their own companies in their previous lives.

A reward of tens of thousands of yuan is very small even if converted into US dollars or British pounds, let alone Japanese yen.

With this amount of money, you can't even buy the most ordinary computer or mobile phone.

"No, I'll go to Tokyo."

Nakamura Kyuji thought about his children's yearning for the big city and the grudge between himself and the president, Ogawa Eiji, and finally decided to leave.

"Well, just make a list of what you need. The company has a ready-made laboratory in Tokyo that can be put into use right away."

"Okay, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? This is what you deserve."

Because they wanted to spread the good news to the world as soon as possible, the group returned to Tokyo early the next morning and held a press conference immediately.

"Everyone must have seen the machine next to me. They must be very curious."

"What is this?"

After the polite words, Takeshita Masato went straight to the point. He first asked a question, then smiled mysteriously.

"Please let me keep it a secret for now, but it won't be long, everyone will know the truth soon."

Then the young man's tone became serious and excited.

"I'm really sorry to have called you all here so hastily, but there's really nothing I can do. Our company has an announcement of something that will have a global impact."

At this point, the young man paused again, then smiled and invited: "Nakamura-kun, please come up."

Kyuji Nakamura was nervous, but it wasn't too obvious.

After he came up and briefly introduced himself to everyone, he began to carry out the experiment according to the plan.

"Hey, what does this mean?"

"Let's look at the experiment. Is there any significance to it?"

"What's going on? Is turning on the light an invention that will affect the world?"

Most of the reporters were liberal arts majors and had no idea what the experiment was about. Of course, the majority of the remaining science and engineering majors also had no idea what the experiment meant.

Only a few reporters who were more familiar with LED technology showed shock on their faces.

"It's actually a blue LED, and it's so bright. Is our research in the field of optics going to take another big step forward?"

"Great, it's blue LED, it's blue LED."

Seeing the crazy expressions of their colleagues, the reporters immediately realized the importance of the matter.

Some journalists who are familiar with LED technology have also realized this now.

This is a new revolution in human lighting and can definitely make the front page of the news.

They started taking pictures frantically, and then asked some staff to notify the editor-in-chief as quickly as possible.

This is another important contribution of Japan to the world and must be written off in great detail.

As for those who were still confused, Xinghai Group didn't keep them waiting for long.

Kyuji Nakamura nervously picked up the manuscript he had prepared earlier and began to read out the importance of blue light LEDs.

Now all the reporters understood.

They really don’t know what blue LED technology is, but that’s okay, because most users don’t understand it anyway.

It is enough to simply say that this technology can promote scientific and technological progress and make human society a better place.

In addition, environmental protection is now an emerging hot topic in developed countries, and the possible contribution of blue light LED technology in this regard should also be mentioned.

Soon, many media outlets, including foreign ones, reported on the incident.

"Japanese scientists demonstrate high-brightness LED bulbs, achieving breakthrough in blue LED technology."

"This afternoon, Xinghai Group suddenly held a press conference. At the conference, scientist Kyuji Nakamura publicly demonstrated a blue LED bulb with normal brightness."

"Studies have shown that at the same brightness, LED lights only consume one-tenth of the power of incandescent lamps, which can save energy and power resources."

"In addition, blue LEDs can also be used in the panel field to create new LED display screens with more colors."

"Humanity's technological innovation has taken another big step forward."

……

Countless related reports appeared on television, in the media, and in magazines.

Xinghai Group once again became the focus of the world, and Nakamura Kyuji also became famous.

Countless colleagues are simply envious of Nakamura Kyuji.

Why didn’t they find such a good company and give money to help with publicity?

Yes, Xinghai Group spent money, and spent a lot of money.

If you don’t spend money, there won’t be relevant news all over the world. After all, science is something that has a generation gap with ordinary people and is not easy to become hot news.

Compared with scientific research, people are more concerned about the entertainment industry because the threshold for understanding this industry is very low and does not require any brainpower.

Unlike science and technology, most people simply cannot understand it.
