Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 88 Let's Suffocate for Our Dreams
The concept of the Internet is commonplace in the 21st century, but it was absolutely groundbreaking in the 20s.

Although the prototype of the Internet, Apache, appeared as early as 1969, the real Internet was not realized until two years later.

At present, all networking is limited to a certain area and cannot achieve global interconnection.

So as Masato Takeshita continued to imagine, the students who attended the briefing session.

Especially the students of information science, or computer science, all had their eyes shining and were excited.

"That's a great point. It would be great if computers could really be connected."

"Yes, so we can get more latest information about the computer industry."

Nobuyuki Saito and Tomokazu Furukawa were also excited after hearing this and wanted to join in immediately.

This is the company they want to see, and this is the perfect enterprise that can realize their ideals.

"I know that in order to realize the interconnection of computers, it requires the promotion of governments of various countries. But I believe that with the development of the times, this day will inevitably come."

"And the more computers there are, the sooner that day will come."

"I entered the semiconductor industry and the computer peripheral field in the hope of bringing down the price of computers so that more people can afford them."

Hearing this, everyone spontaneously applauded again. Takeshita Masato also took this opportunity to quickly drink water to moisten his throat which was a little hoarse from shouting.

"For this purpose, I have prepared 500 billion in advance. If it is not enough, I will increase the amount again until I have used up all my assets."

500 billion yen is not enough compared to the semiconductor industry, but Masato Takeshita is conveying more of an attitude.

Don't worry, unless I'm penniless.

Otherwise I would have stayed in this industry.

The students also heard Takeshita Masato's determination and showed admiration. Some of them even decided to apply for Xinghai Semiconductor later.

Even those students who were determined to work for a large company remembered this semiconductor company called Xinghai at this moment, hoping that it could realize the ideal of popularizing computers.

"I know that this road is destined to be full of difficulties and thorns."

"But it doesn't matter, we are still young and have plenty of time to waste."

“Youth is capital, which means unlimited possibilities.”

"Twenty years ago, televisions were something only rich people could afford, but today, aren't they available in every household?"

"I firmly believe that computers that are expensive now will remain so in the future."

When something first appears, it is very expensive.

For example, when the average annual income of Chinese people was only over 1,000 yuan, mobile phones could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Even the network access fee alone was several times the annual income of an average Chinese family.

But as time went by, the mobile phone industry developed rapidly and the prices of mobile phones also dropped. Later, you could buy a mobile phone for just a few dozen dollars.

Computers are bigger and destined not to be as cheap as mobile phones. But it doesn’t matter, in the end more than 70% of the population can also enjoy the convenience of computers.

At the end of his speech, Masato Takeshita became passionate again.

"Let's go crazy while we're still young."

“Let’s create a new era together.”

"Suffocate for the dream together!"

Boss Jia’s slogan is power.

This time, everyone stood up spontaneously and gave an even louder applause that lasted for a long time.

It was only after Masato Takeshita repeatedly gestured for everyone to stop that everyone returned to their seats reluctantly.

"It's really amazing, the president's ability to incite people."

"Yes, but weren't we attracted here by the president's energy?" Tomioka Tetsu also put away his usual nonchalance and looked at Morita Masanagi with excitement.

He was fed up with the rules and regulations of big companies, so he came to such a free and vibrant new company.

“Yes, this is our dream too.”

Masanagi Morita was very happy that his president had never forgotten his original dream.

For a talent like him to develop a low-difficulty mouse and keyboard, or a relatively advanced computer motherboard, would be a huge waste of resources.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that his president had already met with Yasuo Tarui, the father of Japanese semiconductors, the semiconductor business would have officially started in the near future.

There was no way that Masanagi Morita could stay in such a small company.

Even in the 21st century when academic qualifications are rampant, PhD students from Stanford University are top talents and can basically be chosen by any major company.

The briefing was an unprecedented success. After the briefing ended, more than 100 people chose to sign up for Xinghai Semiconductor that day.

This number far exceeded Masato Takeshita's expectations.

But it doesn't matter. The more science and engineering talents there are, the better. He will recruit as many as they come. Even if all the thousands of people at the venue join Xinghai Semiconductor, he can handle it.

At worst, we can divert some of the scientific researchers to the software industry.

At present, the division between computer software and hardware is not obvious. Even graduates in the hardware field can master the ability to develop software products after a period of simple learning.

By then, whether it is research and development databases, various office software, or industrial software, we will be able to fill the talent pool.

I'm not afraid of too many people, I'm afraid of having no people.

Databases and industrial software, in particular, are just starting to take off worldwide.

If Masato Takeshita can make a move in this direction, he will be able to make money without doing anything in the future.

Although these two industries are inconspicuous, the degree of monopoly is no different from Microsoft's monopoly on computer operating systems in the past.

This successful speech made Masato Takeshita even more famous in Waseda University.

On Thursday afternoon, Masato Takeshita returned to school again for his thesis.

Thesis advisor Kunihiko Inoue couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, you're here. Congratulations, Mengxiang, your reputation at Waseda University will be further enhanced."

"Uh, teacher, please stop teasing me."

Masato Takeshita looked at Kunihiko Inoue who was sitting behind his desk and bit his lip in embarrassment.

It was only when he came to Zaoda today that he found out that he had been given such a nickname.

I was a little stunned at first, but soon I let out a long sigh and calmed down.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the suffocation brother, and the worst situation did not happen.

Although Dream Brother's tone is a little sarcastic, it is still positive.

Brother Suffocation is different, it’s all teasing.

After briefly discussing the thesis, Masato Takeshita went straight to the most important purpose of coming to school today.

"Teacher Inoue, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a shareholder of Matsumoto Manufacturing."

"Oh, tell me?"

Inoue Kunihiko couldn't believe what he heard and his hands were shaking.

Could it be that the legendary wealth is really going to befall me this time?
