Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

In about a week, Rex Eden, Fujio Shioka and others came to Shanghai.

Zhao Ye took people from Loongson Design Company to the airport to personally pick him up to show his attention.

Toshiba doesn’t know the value of NAND, how can Zhao Ye not know it?

Not to mention the value of NAND flash memory itself, just using it to develop products can give you an advantage over other competitors, such as developing U disks, digital cameras, mobile phones, game consoles, etc. The data storage capacity of flash memory far exceeds Other storage media.

Near noon, Rex Aiden, Fujio Sugaoka and his group walked out of the airport.

Zhao Ye waved hello while walking towards them.

"Rex, thank you for your hard work!"

"Also, Mr. Fujioka Fujio, welcome to join Wujiang Group. I believe that you will be able to fully demonstrate your talents in Wujiang!!!"

Zhao Ye shook hands with Rex Aiden and Fujio Sugaoka respectively.

Rex Aiden smiled and said, "It's not hard work."

Shizuoka Fujio was quite touched when he saw Zhao Ye being so enthusiastic towards him. After all, he had been neglected for a long time at Toshiba. As long as someone gave him a little warmth, he would be very touched.

"Let's get in the car first and go back to pick up the wind and wash away the dust for Fujio Sugaoka and others!" Zhao Ye greeted, and then took the lead to walk outside.

At this time, many people at the airport had already noticed Zhao Ye.

Some people recognized Zhao Ye and immediately looked surprised, ready to come over and watch.

This is the living Zhao Ye~

Zhao Ye quickly led everyone away, then got in the car and drove away.

In the evening, Zhao Ye greeted Fujio Sugaoka and others at the old hotel in the capital. Needless to say, they had a great time at the wine table, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The next day, eight NAND design team members, including Fujio Masuoka, officially joined Loongson Design Company.

Zhao Ye transferred fifteen employees to join the NAND flash memory development department and learn from Fujio Sugaoka and others.

NAND flash memory still has flaws and needs further improvement.

In the previous life, even though Toshiba was not favored by Toshiba and lacked R&D funds, Fujio Masuoka and others successfully perfected it in 1989, which greatly reduced the cost per bit, had higher performance, and was as disk-like. Can be easily upgraded via the interface.

In this generation, the development of NAND flash memory technology will inevitably be much faster.

The third-generation game console of Wujiang Group can use NAND flash memory cards to replace CDs.

In the second generation of game consoles, NAND flash memory technology is probably not yet mature. When applied to game cards, the storage capacity is not as good as that of CDs.

In Zhao Ye's vision, the second-generation game console should be 16-bit and planned to be released in 1988.

The third generation of games was 32-bit and was released in 1993.

In his previous life, it seemed that the world's first 32-bit game console was also released in 1993. Zhao Ye did not let his competitors have the slightest chance to overtake him!

In terms of memory chips, with Fujio Sugaoka and others joining Loongson Design Company, Zhao Ye no longer needs to worry about flash memory, but memory development still has a long way to go.

While Zhao Ye is busy developing EDA, he also leads everyone to develop DRAM memory.

The importance of DRAM memory is self-evident.

In mobile phone applications, the role of DRAM is to provide data storage space for AP processing operations; in servers and personal computers, DRAM provides data temporary storage space for CPU operations.

Of course, in game console applications, DRAM also plays the same role.

Therefore, Zhao Ye now focuses on DRAM memory and spends most of the day in the laboratory.

Secretary Liu Yinyin had something important to ask him and had to make a special trip to the laboratory.

"Boss, this is important news from Wujiang Group (Hong Kong Branch). The British Lloyds Bank wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered Bank does not want to be acquired, so it is seeking help from the outside. Wujiang Group (Hong Kong Branch) Zhou Anping, general manager of the company) believes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will give Wujiang Group the opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank... Standard Chartered Bank is a large bank in Hong Kong with the right to issue banknotes. It has a large scale and a business network all over the world. It is very important to Wujiang Group For the group, having such a large bank is very useful."

When Zhao Ye heard this, his eyes lit up.

He also wanted to acquire a bank, but he looked down on small banks.

Standard Chartered Bank is quite suitable. Although its scale is large, it is not so large that Wujiang Group cannot acquire it.

Zhao Ye vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Lloyds Bank made a hostile takeover of Standard Chartered Bank, but was defeated by Qiu Deba, Hong Kong shipping king Pao Yukang, and Australian businessman Robert, who jointly offered 13 billion pounds. The three of them successfully bought Standard Chartered Bank 3 % shares.

In 1986, the exchange rate between pound and dollar was 1:1.4.

13 billion pounds, or $18.2 billion.

Wujiang Group alone can acquire 37% of Standard Chartered Bank.

The question now is, will the other three people get involved as well?

If divided among four people, Wujiang Group would not get many shares.

Zhao Ye was a little confused at this time.

Standard Chartered Bank is such a hot cake, I don’t think there will be anyone who doesn’t want to take a bite.

There is absolutely nothing he can do to stop Qiu Tak-ba, Pao Yu-kang and Australian businessman Robert from taking shares in Standard Chartered Bank.

However, these people finally sold their shares and they could take over the opportunity.

Qiu Degen was involved in a false accounting lawsuit in 1988 and had to sell ATV. It seemed possible that he could add fuel to the fire and force him to sell his shares in Standard Chartered Bank.

Standard Chartered Bank's shareholding is dispersed, even if it is 13.5%, it is already the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank.

If you can control 37% of the equity, or even more, you can already control Standard Chartered Bank. Once you have control, if you want to increase your shareholding, there are many ways to do it.

It seems that this time is really an opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank.

Zhao Ye smiled and said to his secretary Liu Yinyin: "Ask Zhou Anping to contact the management of Standard Chartered Bank and say that Wujiang Group is willing to buy the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to help Standard Chartered Bank fight off the hostile takeover by Lloyds Bank of England! That's right! , this time, tell Zhou Anping that he must buy as many shares of Standard Chartered Bank as possible."

"Ok!"

After Zhao Ye finished explaining, he thought about it and turned around to continue developing DRAM.

No matter how much equity you can buy in Standard Chartered Bank this time, you won’t lose money anyway. Standard Chartered Bank’s market value has been growing.

If we fail to acquire Standard Chartered Bank in the end, the worst we can do is set up our own bank and then develop it slowly. In this way, in the early stage of the bank's development, Wujiang Group can still hold 100% of the shares. Even if the bank gives up part of its equity in the future for expansion, it will still occupy the majority and can firmly control the bank.

……

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Qiu Degen suddenly went to visit Pao Yugang's house.

Qiu Degen himself is the founder of Far East Bank. He is particularly sensitive to the hostile acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank by Lloyds Bank of England. He feels that this is a rare opportunity and he can take the opportunity to buy a large amount of Standard Chartered Bank's equity and become the owner of Standard Chartered Bank. Major shareholder!

However, he alone was not strong enough to defeat Britain's Lloyds Bank.
