I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 285 [Returning the other body in the same way-Sony]

February 1959, Dongying, Keihin Industrial Zone.

The headquarters of Lenovo Electric was finally completed and put into use after two and a half years;

It is said to be the headquarters, but it is actually a large-scale industrial park with a factory covering an area of ​​2000 mu.

Lenovo Electric has been established for more than 5 years and has become a real large-scale electrical appliance brand;

The growth of Lenovo Electric was accompanied by a series of mergers and acquisitions and integration of resources, coupled with the first to develop several great electrical products, and finally secured its position as the fifth largest electrical appliance company in Japan.

In front of Lenovo Electric are Panasonic, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, and Sharp, and Lenovo Electric is squeezed out by Sanyo and Hitachi.

As for Sony, which is well-known in later generations, it is already on the verge of bankruptcy at this time.

Looking back at history, Sony relied on a TR-55 transistor radio to establish a great cause for future generations in one fell swoop;
But in this life, Lenovo's TR-66 and TR-77 transistor radios appeared ahead of schedule, and Sony had no chance to sell radio products at all;

Although Sony's black and white TV is also a good buy, its technical competitiveness has no advantage, and it is also in danger under the attack of a group of electrical giants.

Even Lenovo Electric sued Sony many times with the patent of the first-developed transistor radio, which caused Sony's reputation to plummet.

In contrast, Lenovo's TR-77 radio sold more than 1957 million units in the two years from 1958 to 2; and most of them were sold in the United States, earning a lot of dollars.

The reason why Lenovo Electric targeted Sony instead of other large electrical companies was not to bully the weak and fear the strong, but Wu Guangyao took a fancy to Sony's future technology.

In later generations, Sony has two great technologies, one is the Walkman and the other is Trinitron;
The former is the tape player technology produced in 1979, and the latter is the picture tube technology developed in 1967 to dominate the television industry.

The development of any of these two technologies can make Lenovo Electric a world-class company, and Wu Guangyao wants both!

The Walkman brings people closer to music, and Sony has sold 2.5 million units with the Walkman.

With its Trinitron picture tube technology, Sony has become synonymous with the quality of TVs, and the total sales volume of TVs has reached hundreds of millions.

With such a dazzling achievement, as a time traveler, I naturally want to kill him!

Wu Guangyao can also understand the general principles of these two technologies. If they are handed over to Lenovo Research Institute, they may not be able to develop them before Sony;

However, in order to be safer, it is better to snipe Sony!

When Wu Guangyao came to Lenovo's headquarters, the four directors who had been waiting at the door greeted him happily, and the group came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"How is the progress of the color TV, can it be successfully developed in the first half of the year?" Wu Guangyao asked.

Time is a bit tight. Sharp will successfully develop a color TV in January next year. It would be a pity if the first one is handed over to others; after all, Europe and the United States have long had color TVs, and it is not difficult to buy a complete technology with money; Of course, it is more fulfilling to develop it yourself.

"No problem, it's already in the final test stage, maybe in just one or two months, we can announce the good news to the chairman!" Onogi from the technical department said confidently.

"Hurry up, this technology is not difficult at first, maybe other electrical companies are almost finishing the research and development! This is a reputation, who is the first company in Japan to develop color TV, then it must be in terms of sales, will be It has great advantages." Wu Guangyao exhorted.

"President, don't worry, we will definitely develop it before others!" Onoki heard that the research and development was almost done outside, and quickly issued a military order.

Wu Guangyao suddenly picked up the paper and pen on the table, thought hard, and then began to draw on his own.

The four chiefs didn't dare to show their anger. What the hell is this president doing?
The chairman must not be disturbed, maybe there are top-level electrical appliances such as transistor mobile phones, rice cookers, and pulsator washing machines.

The four of them did guess correctly, and Wu Guangyao was describing the shape of the picture tube and the general principle of the Trinitron picture tube based on the impressions of later generations.

What Wu Guangyao knows is not even superficial, but it will undoubtedly be a general direction.

After a long time, Wu Guangyao raised his head and said to Onoki, head of the technical department, "Come here!"

When Ohnoki came to Wu Guangyao's desk, Wu Guangyao handed the paper to Ohnoki, and said, "This is a sudden inspiration of mine. It's about image tube technology. I call this technology Trinitron technology. Of course , At present, this cannot be called a technology. Find me an elite team dedicated to the research and development of Trinitron image tube technology, and develop it for me with all my heart."

Onogi excitedly looked at the content on the paper, as if he couldn't understand it, and it even went against common sense.

"President, you only have one firing point (single shot)?"

"Yes, I call it a single-gun three-beam tube. It is a cylindrical picture tube that is raised horizontally and straight vertically. The traditional picture tube aggregates the phosphor dots into a triangle, so this picture tube classifies the phosphors according to their colors. Arranged in the form of unbroken lines."

Wu Guangyao said a few words about the techniques he understood, and Ohnoki hurriedly picked up a pen to write them down in his notebook.

"Boss, is there any more?" Onoki said hesitantly.

"What do you think? I'm not an engineer, how much can I know. You need to find a good team this time to develop this technology. If it succeeds, then our TVs will be sold all over the world, and even the American TV industry will have to bow down." .”

"President, don't worry, as long as you put forward this great idea, our engineers will help you realize it!"

Originally, Sony was on the verge of bankruptcy in the 60s. It was thanks to Trinitron technology that it turned around in one fell swoop. In this life, because of the emergence of Lenovo Electric, it was on the verge of bankruptcy ahead of schedule. This was something Wu Guangyao did not expect.

"What's the situation with Sony?" Wu Guangyao said.

The four department heads looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the boss meant by asking this question?
Even if you care, you have to care about several major electrical giants. A small Sony is completely worthless.

"They went public in December, and it didn't make things better for them. TVs, radios, nothing else. If they don't have any more products, it's only a matter of time before they go bankrupt. "Said Ryohei Kimura from the business department.

"Go and test Akio Morita and Inoue Shenda to see if there is any possibility of acquisition."

Wu Guangyao's words shocked the four of them, because Lenovo Electric's territory was complete, and there was no need to acquire another defeated player in a repeat industry.

Wu Guangyao's move was naturally to insure Lenovo Electric!
