Howard also paid Luo Sheng a price, and the latter was stunned for a while when he heard this number: "2.8 billion? Haha, I'm frank, Sony is treating me as a fat sheep and wants to pass on the cell's deficit to the Coast of the Blue? Sir, I'm afraid this friend can't make a fortune."

"Then let's understand slowly and then see if you can be friends." Howard responded in the same context.

Luo Sheng nodded: "It should be so"

The two sides did not reach any substantial written agreement or pleasant consensus during the first interview. Sony was already in a state of confusion. Luo Sheng did want to realize the merger and acquisition transaction as soon as possible, but he did not express it urgently, nor did he have a wealthy and high-priced merger and acquisition.

Otherwise, if the quotation is too high, you have to show your eagerness. If you don’t pay more, it may make the other party suspicious. In the end, if you decide not to sell it, you will lose the rice if you steal it.

Because this makes Sony feel that the cell processor must have a unique side, otherwise why would the Costa à lao could not wait to get it into the pocket? Maybe the other party would also be able to see the idea that Costa à lao was going to enter the host market... If things continue to develop like this, it would not be a good thing for Luo Sheng.

The interview lasted about two hours before it ended. Although no consensus was reached, Howard did not make a clear statement that he would not sell it. This is a key message.

It also made Luo Sheng have reason to wait patiently. If you can’t agree once, you will talk next time. It’s like doing business.

His schedule for this trip to Japan is about a week, no more than ten days at most, and it is still early to go back to China.

Not long after Howard returned, he didn't know what he discussed with the senior executives in Sony anyway.

The next day, Howard personally invited Luo Sheng to visit Sony and further interviews and consultations.

On the same day, Toshiba also came a vice president, and a global vice president of ibm was also on his way to Tokyo.

Luo Sheng was not surprised by this at all. The cell processor was born under the alliance of these three companies.

There is no doubt that the cell processor is a wonderful story told by the Japanese. The Japanese also have a good technical research and development level. The helpless thing is that they cannot play the ecology because the notebook likes to play exclusive operations.

There is nothing wrong with exclusive, the wrong thing is that your hardware is still so bad when you play exclusive, who will die if you don’t die?

Sony's P2's victory was actually due to the monopoly of software. At that time, "Final Fantasy" was in its prime, and P2 monopolized the entire series of the game, and in addition, it happened to catch up with the popularity of DVD. The price of P2 is very high as a game console, but it is also lower than that of DVD players.

It is no exaggeration to say that the great success of Sony P2 was established by strongly killing third-party game developers, because compared with other hosts of the same generation, the development of P2 is too difficult.

Sony didn't care about these issues at all. When P3 was about to fail, it finally failed because the developer gave up and refused to accompany him. He couldn't afford to offend his labor and capital?

Its failure also includes that the focus of the game industry has shifted back to the United States, while American game companies do not take advantage of this set of monopoly. Ps3 has no monopoly on games, and the hardware shortcomings are quickly reflected, and of course they are abandoned by the market.

Another major reason is that in the era of ps3, the way people make games has changed a lot. Developers have begun to buy mature game engines to develop games, and cross-platform game engines are difficult to compatible with game consoles with a weird vector processor architecture like ps3.

This led to a result. Sony was stunned and suddenly found that the "peak" performance of ps3 has improved, but the game developers have all run away.

Developer: Your uncle's labor and capital will no longer play with you.

Sony's "automobile report" to Luo Sheng is that those who have gained power have more help, while those who have lost power have few help.

This kind of gameplay is very stupid when you don’t have the ability to absolutely crush. Instead, you don’t make friends, but instead attack third parties in a fancy way. It’s time when game engines are popular. It’s a terrible loss to ps3 if you don’t lose in the competition.

...

Three days later, in the hotel room.

"According to the current double-digit economic growth rate in my country, compared with Japan's economic growth rate, nothing unexpected happens. Before the first half of 2010, my country's total economic output should surpass Japan and become the second largest economy in the world after the United States for the first time. The total manufacturing industry is likely to surpass the United States and become the world's number one next year."

The person who said this was Qin Weimu sitting in the living room, and since Luo Sheng opened the door of **.

She broke the dam.

Go from one extreme to another.

At this moment, Qin Weimu sat lazily, chatting after some trouble.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but say, "GDP surpasses it is certain, but we cannot underestimate Japan, a small country, not big and hidden very deeply. We must be careful. Now, regardless of the quality of the economy or the scale, it is the second in the world at present, second only to the United States, and it cannot be printed and issued. It can be seen that there is definitely something worth learning here."

In the 1980s, Japan was once ahead of the world in semiconductors, and it was at its peak.

Today is the sixth day of Luo Sheng’s trip to Japan, especially in the past few days, he has visited Sony headquarters and Toshiba headquarters, and visited the manufacturing departments of these two companies.

This exchange was personally watched by Luo Sheng. Based on his memories of the previous life, he also felt a lot of emotion and further understood why Sony is in a swaying state of mind when dealing with cell chip business.

Sony is really unwilling to accept it.

Many people say that the 20 years of Japan's decline were the intervention of Americans. With the signing of the Plaza Accord, the conditions for trade were changed, and a large amount of hot money poured into the island country, which also pushed up housing prices and stock prices, and the economic bubble expanded rapidly.

Of course this is undeniable.

However, the Japanese took the initiative to pierce the real estate bubble in the last century, which was painful, but also effectively bridged the gap between the rich and the poor.

This does take a lot of courage.

A series of practices after puncture of the bubble are also remarkable, but it is far from enough to develop the economy by actively puncture of the bubble. After breaking, the key point after breaking is how to establish a new new one.

Society’s wealth always needs new growth points.

The Japanese were good at learning, learning China in ancient times, learning Europe in modern times, and learning from the United States in modern times, and they all learned well. They observed that the United States, which also pierced the bubble, had strong economic self-healing ability. After several economic crises, economic growth began to recover momentum within a few years.

The reason is that Americans have mastered the world's high value-added core technology.

ibm, Intel, Google, Apple, Qualcomm, Microsoft and other companies that have influenced the world have opened up a wave of change in the Internet information age.

The problem that Japan faced at that time was that most of its manufacturing industries were still at the level of producing home appliances. If it wanted to achieve industrial transformation and upgrading, it must be cruel to cut off a number of low-profit manufacturing industries.

Luo Sheng used the memories of his previous life to know how the Japanese did it.

There is a Japanese electrical company called nec. This company is the Japanese manufacturer of the first computer and the first artificial satellite. In 2011, Nec company suddenly decided to abandon its computer business unit. You should know that in 2011, computers began to become popular in ordinary families, and this decision shocked Japanese society.

The takeover is the domestic Lianxiang Company.

Even many Japanese people are surprised, is it because the money is not easy to make or is it not delicious enough?

Nec does this and a large number of local people will be unemployed.

But a few years later, the computer industry had entered the sunset industry and the red ocean industry, and nec was sold at a good price.

When Sony, Toshiba, and Fujitsu also figured it out, no one took over when they wanted to sell their computer industry.

From a business perspective, Lianxiang’s share of this market cannot be said to be a loss. It is definitely a profit, because the performance has been brilliant for several years, but it has only been a few years, and it has become increasingly difficult later.

Especially with the rapid development of smartphones and mobile Internet, on the one hand, the annual shipment of mobile phones is as high as one billion units worldwide, but only tens of millions of computers. The shipment of mobile phones is increasing, but the computers are decreasing.

Nec sold its computer business unit, which is actually a representative of Japan's manufacturing and industrial transformation. However, Nec did not throw away its own semiconductor technology. Instead, it continued to increase R&D investment and develop more cutting-edge semiconductor technology. Later, it developed the world's advanced fully autonomous vehicle system.

Afterwards, Sony and Toshiba also found their goals and new directions. Sony abandoned computers and radios, specializing in high-end products, camera cmos, oleds, sensors, etc.

After changing the industry to make internal components, Sony's current sensors are basically the best solution in the world.

Toshiba threw away the white appliances. It was also the Chinese companies that took the market and the TV. It was the Chinese companies that took the market.

Facts have proved that this is true. With the advent of the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, there are basically few people watching TV at home. Even if there is a TV, it is not necessary to turn on several times, and the washing machine and computer cannot be replaced every year.

As for TV, it seems to have become a decoration for a living room in China.

There is a big public opinion in the domestic media, saying that Japan's most powerful industry has basically been bought and Japan's manufacturing industry is about to collapse.

As a result, the Japanese realized the way out for transformation and upgrading ten years in advance, so they sold these low-profit industries at the best price at the best time.

White-made appliances are already a burden for the industry. The chips and sensors in home appliances are of high value-added or core technology.

Only by throwing away the burden of home appliances can we go lightly and then explore new emerging technology industries with high value added. This is their transformation philosophy.

But objectively speaking, it sounds uncomfortable for mainland companies to buy these sunset industries, but in fact it is not a loss. It is a perfect need for China.

Because China has a large population and is from backward to strengthening, the national economic level is in a period of rapid growth, and it is not a developed country. Many families even have to calculate the accounts when buying a computer. These mid- and low-end manufacturing industries with not very high added value are needed to increase social employment.

It is impossible for China to move from producing socks to the ability to produce high-end chips at once.

The rice is always eaten one bite after another.

But then again, dividends will always disappear on the day when the economy and industry develop to a certain level, and they will inevitably face the problem of transforming from mid- and low-end manufacturing to high-value-added high-end manufacturing.

However, there are also things that the Japanese are confused about, and they cannot play with. They go into battle on a large scale and throw away some real gold mines as they throw away too many things.

Smartphones are typical gold mines thrown away by the Japanese themselves. I really regret it now, but if you don’t say this, it’s embarrassing to say it.

Moreover, over the years, the Japanese have lost not only the smartphone gold mine, but also the mobile Internet, and more than that has been lost.

In the consumer electronics field, the Japanese have missed the opportunity to become an Internet power and a powerful country. The semiconductor industry has also been stolen by the Koreans' large market share. However, the Korean semiconductor life gate is held by the Japanese, and the Korean semiconductors are not solid and very fake.

Japan's Internet has not been born with a world-famous giant company like Sony. Although Sun Zhengyi is known as the "Internet Electronics Emperor", he seems to be a "traitor" from Japan, and he invests in various venture capital in China next door.

In the IT Internet world, the only one that can compete with the United States in the world today is China's Internet companies. At present, Blue Star Technology Group is the one that can fight the most and is definitely responsible for the ranks. In the future, the United States cannot afford to play, and it will definitely be the first one that Blue Star Technology can block its sword.

Luo Sheng's business trip this time in Japan lasted about a week to give him a more detailed understanding of the local manufacturing industry, especially the ICT field and high-end manufacturing representatives. The biggest gain is that the Japanese have gained a lot, but they have also given up too much, and some of them were thrown away as garbage.

There are so many Japanese companies that have left behind many excellent mobile phone R&D talents after throwing away their mobile phone business.

Isn’t it a good opportunity to recruit these talents now?

Luo Sheng thought of this and turned his head to look at Qin Weimu: "It seems that we have not established a corresponding R&D center in Japan yet, right?"

Qin Weimu said concisely: "Yes, but they are optional. The technology research and development of Blue Star Technology's virtual idol-related technology has a research institute in Yokohama."

Luo Sheng made a decision on the spot: "You make a note and leave it to Yao Jianhong to deal with it as soon as possible. He will continue to build a large R&D center in Yokohama, Japan, and hire Japanese excellent engineers and architects, who are not limited to mobile phones, and provide high salaries to help Costa çao develop products."

Luo Sheng will never complain about the talent, and will never complain about too much. The more you have, the better.

Qin Weimu asked: "How big is the scale of the R&D center?"

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, "It's about 800 to 1,000 engineers."

Qin Weimu thought: "The budget expenditure may be about 450 million to 600 million US dollars."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "For us, things that can be settled with money are always the easiest thing, so let's budget for 600 million yuan."

Qin Weimu nodded silently, and after almost resting, he stood up, twisted his pretty body and left the living room.

Luo Sheng enjoyed this beautiful scenery with great interest. Qin Weimu brought the work computer she carried with her, opened her own cloud server, and made memos about these things.

Then, the two continued to have in-depth exchanges and discussions on issues of interests and hobbies, which can be described as a strong showdown.

Japan is really a place where earthquakes occur frequently.
