When Zhou Shuo heard Toyota Nao's words, he couldn't help but laugh. Why Toyota is so concerned about Obd technology is really easy to associate. Without the general awakening of environmental awareness around the world, there would not be the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and there would not be the later European carbon emission tax - commonly known as breathing tax.

Toyota Group has been at the top of the automobile industry's food chain for many years with its huge assets, but it is not without its rivals. Not to mention Japan, GM, Ford, Europe's Volkswagen, and BMW, which are not difficult to solve.

Toyota's breakthrough in obd technology can not only drive these companies out of the altar, but at least it can make a comeback. If the reversing radar is just a technology that makes a model popular, then obd is a strategic technology that can make Toyota invincible.

Manipulating public opinion and influencing people's hearts are all essential skills for large international companies. At that time, Toyota Group only needs to spend a little money on the global scale to support some environmental protection NGOs, and then encourage TV stations to launch a publicity war. Other automobile companies will have to spend ten times more effort, and maybe they will be lucky enough to eliminate this impact.

Obd technology is just a technology that is waiting to be sold in Zhou Shuo's hands, but in the hands of Toyota Group, it is Shangfang's sword that can kill slander officials from the lords. The different perspectives of the two sides' view of technology explains Toyota's Nagato's eager and generous attitude.

For Zhou Shuo, obd is just a by-product of the development of microcontroller technology, and it is profitable if you can get some. But for Toyota Changnan, as long as you can get this technology, it is worth it at any cost.

"Mr. Toyota is so disappointing." Zhou Shuo slowly poured a glass of wine for himself. He raised it and said, "I always thought we were partners and friends who deserve to rely on. Although the Obd system uses some core technologies of the Panhan Research Institute, the research and development of the entire system is the result of the Toyota Research Institute. As a member of the Toyota Research Institute, isn't it too sad to transfer technology to talk about money?"

When Toyota Nagata heard Zhou Shuo say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat. Talk about money hurts feelings, wouldn’t this talk about feelings hurt even more? What is the situation at Toyota Research Institute? Toyota Nagata, who has contributed to this matter, knows clearly.

No matter how advanced China's microcontroller technology is, it will definitely not be more advanced than Japan. But why does Toyota's Changman resist the opposition and support the construction of such a research institute in a small, unknown countryside embroidery city in China? To put it bluntly, the only valuable thing in the entire research institute is Zhou Shuo's brain.

Embedded systems are difficult to say, and they are simple to say. The electronic technology required by Obd can be realized in the 1980s, but Japan in history did not introduce this technology from Germany until 2004. On the one hand, the third generation of practical obd technology requires a development process, and the other is Toyota's weakness in electronic technology.

The improvement of a system requires continuous debugging and revision. The first and second generation Obd technology are only monitoring toxic gases emitted from automobile exhaust. However, the third generation Obd technology can be widely promoted worldwide, thanks to the development of engine electronic injection technology. This enables the 21st century Obd technology to directly interfere with the combustion efficiency of oxygen and fuel in the engine cylinder, and then control the temperature and composition of exhaust gas.

Don’t underestimate the addition of such a control system, which involves sensing systems, electronic control units, information collection, digital-to-analog conversion, data processing...

Put it in an automobile company. The work involved is too complicated. They need to recruit hardware engineers and then ask them to learn automotive knowledge again. They need to form an electronic technology research and development department from scratch, and perhaps also need to write their own dedicated microcontroller system software. They need to start from a system that can achieve simple functions and conduct various experiments continuously. The harsh working environment that automobile electronic devices need to face. What network architecture does the on-board computer subsystem use in communication with various parts of the vehicle body, and then this requires continuing to add network engineers...

Finally, if Toyota Group wants to independently develop this technology, they will inevitably build an electronic technology company with a complete range from scratch. If the technology is entrusted to other electronic technology companies, they will also face the need to let this company understand the engine technology of the car first...

But this problem does not exist at all in Zhou Shuo. The former Bohai University software and hardware engineers at Toyota Research Institute do not know much about automobile technology. However, in 1995, it was still a high-end obd technology. Twenty years later, it was just a major road car that had to be inspected for annual inspections.

Zhou Shuo can draw out specific schematic diagrams in ten minutes for those technical architectures that took decades to complete. At most, it will take another two hours to write a detailed development guide. What the engineers at Toyota Research Institute need to do is to fill in the contents in the framework like the new computer writing software, and realize specific functions.

Systems like Obd that can provide the required technical level in the 1980s, and the implementation of functions is just a matter of time. The most difficult thing is actually system integration and the idea of ​​solving problems. After Zhou Shuo provided these, he could wait for the result without looking at it. Many times it is so unfair. Some people have been thinking about problems for ten or twenty years. The real breakthrough is just a flash of inspiration or a layer of window paper.

Toyota Nagato smiled nervously and asked carefully: "Zhou Sang is right, it's my offense! So what do you mean is, can Toyota Group use this obd technology at will?"

"Mr. Toyota comes to try this, our Northeast specialty dish - stewed fat goose in iron pot!" Zhou Shuo said, uncovering the lid of a casserole, and immediately a strong and clear meat fragrance came to his face: "This dish is rare. Only when a distinguished guest comes to visit, we will take it out to entertain. Just obd technology, how can it be compared with our friendship?"

Toyota Nagato was overjoyed and raised his glasses and nodded, "No, good, I wish our friendship lasts forever!"

"I wish Toyota Group will flourish under the leadership of Mr. Toyota!" Zhou Shuo and Toyota Nagato touched the cup, cleaned it up and continued: "Of course, as a friend, I also have some small difficulties here, and I hope to get the help of Mr. Toyota."

Toyota's eldest son put down his wine glass and knew that this might be the flesh of today. He quickly said seriously: "June Sang said it straight, as long as I can do it, there is no need to hesitate to define it!"

He was still foolish here, not saying it was Toyota Group, and just said that he would be obliged. If Zhou Shuo made any excessive request, he would refuse it just because he was not capable enough. Anyway, Toyota Nagao's official position in the group is just a middle-level position, and in theory, he really can't be the leader of Toyota Group.

Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Of course, this matter can be achieved with Mr. Toyota's position in the Mitsui Zaibatsu. That's right, Toshiba has a patent for a data storage device called Nand flash memory. I hope Mr. Toyota can exert your influence and obtain this technology for the Panhan Group."

This is also the reason why Zhou Shuo did not clearly propose the transaction. Obviously, the content of the transaction between the two companies is the technology of the third company, and it is not very nice to say it. Moreover, this matter is not something that Toyota Group can do. If it comes to negotiate as an official capacity, it would be a ghost if it is not spoken by Toshiba Lions.

But if Toyota Nagato operates this matter with his position within the Mitsui Zaiba, the situation will have a lot of room for transformation. Obviously, it is more convenient to play the card of personal friendship at this time.

"Nand ​​flash memory?" Toyota Nagao secretly wrote down the name and nodded vigorously, "Okay, if it's just a technical authorization, I can give it a try."

Zhou Shuo nodded and smiled, "Of course it's technical authorization, I won't make it difficult for Mr. Toyota to do it."

When it comes to flash memory, Toshiba is also considered an ancestor. As early as 1984, the world's first concept of flash memory was invented by Fujio Masaoka, a middle-level technician at Toshiba. Later, the two types of flash memory, Nor and Nand, were developed on this basis.

Nor flash memory was the first technology invented by Intel in 1988. Later, Toshiba quickly developed the Nand flash memory technology in 1989. These two flash memory technologies were widely used in various data storage devices. Zhou Shuo might have been able to acquire the technology if he had traveled ten years earlier. But in 1995, it would have been very difficult to obtain the authorization of this technology.

Of course, the explosion of Nand flash memory will not be able to arrive until the invention of devices such as U disk, MP3 and flash memory cards. At that time, as long as you master enough lower-level application technology patents, it is not impossible to force upper-level technology. But first step is that it must obtain Nand flash production technology.

The Toyota Changman, who fell into the ground in his heart, had a better appetite at this time. Obd Technology Toyota Group is bound to win, and he is not afraid of Zhou Shuo's bidding, but he is afraid that he will not bid. Now that the two sides have something to ask for, such a cooperative relationship is the most solid.

After eating this meal with great enthusiasm, Toyota Nagato couldn't wait to leave. He didn't know much about Nand flash memory technology, so he still had to think carefully about how to start this matter.

As for how Japan fights in the Mitsui Consortium, Tu Anbei said in confusion after Zhou Shuo sent off Toyota Nakano: "Principal Zhou, we don't have a wafer factory now, so what's the use of this Nand flash memory technology? Even if we get the control of the 908 Project, with their production line that does not even have a 0.8 micron technology level, the products they produce cannot be sold at all!"

Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Old Tu, you misunderstood. I didn't say that this was prepared for the 908 project." (To be continued...)
