On Wednesday, Lu Zhou drove to Zhujiang New Town again after get off work.
The day before yesterday, he also went to pick up his daughter-in-law like this. The two also drank some sparkling wine while eating western food that day, and they couldn't find a chauffeur at the last minute, so they found a high-rise hotel in Zhucheng for one night.
Lu Zhou reminisced about the night before. Speaking of which, this feeling is very different from being at home, especially Lu Zhou booked a room with a river view, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows can see the prosperity of the Pearl City and the surging of the Pearl River at a glance. Speaking of yesterday, Ye Qingchen was working overtime again as usual. After Lu Zhou picked him up and went home, he went to Ye Qingchen to finish dinner, and it was almost nine o'clock.
No, Lu Zhou also intends to fool Ye Qingchen for a little wine tonight, and he is staying in Zhujiang New Town tonight, and Ye Qingchen can walk directly to work the next day.
When it was time to pick up Ye Qingchen, Lu Zhou took her to a Japanese restaurant by the river.
One side of this road is a tributary of the Pearl River, and the scenery is good at night. It is estimated that the developer also saw this opportunity. There are some low-rise shops built along the road. Luzhou will prepare to solve the problem here for dinner tonight.
The two sat on the open-air bar, and the entire row of wooden tables faced the river view, which was much better than the experience in the store.
"Look at the two mobile phones you've brought with you recently? It's not too much trouble." Ye Qingchen picked up the mobile phones that Lu Zhou placed on the table, one was an off-white Apple, and the other was a black Samsung.
Lu Zhou smiled, "I didn't carry a computer in my backpack before, and there were several mobile phones in my bag. You haven't seen it. The company's software sometimes needs to be tried. After all, there are some differences between Android and Apple, and there are some small problems in the software. It’s good to send emails to communicate with employees.”
As for this Nokia, you can take it with you when you're in a backpack, and if you want to go to work, you can bring someone over there. It's still troublesome to carry three mobile phones.
As for the two mobile phones in Lu Zhou's hands, except for Apple's, which was bought for the family at the time, Samsung and others were all taken directly from the company's testing department. In order to debug the compatibility of each mobile phone and each system version, most of the common mobile phone brands and models on the market are basically available. It is even said that Apple 3gs sometimes have to get rid of the development department for some "bargain" tests.
Sometimes the friction between the two departments is not small, but it is also a good thing for product development.
"I've used this brand before too. But my mother retired it, and I've used it for a long time. The logo is still anycall." Ye Qingchen held the phone and fiddled with it casually.
Lu Zhou was also impressed by what she said. This was a flip-top Samsung that Ye Qingchen had taken when the two were in front of each other. After waiting to talk about her boyfriend and girlfriend, Lu Zhou changed her a smartphone. The process was half-hearted, but in the end it was really fragrant. After all, WeChat was also doing it at the time, and the functions of the beta version were often used to interact with Ye Qingchen.
"Unlock it~" Ye Qingchen looked at him with a smile.
Lu Zhou clicked his tongue, "Curious baby."
Lu Zhou unlocked her while he was.
Ye Qingchen then muttered, "Then there is still a secret."
Lu Zhou laughed, "That's not it."
Anyway, the phone is unlocked, and the main interface is full of various mobile apps of Menggu, and there is still something wrong. Even the Apple that Lu Zhou used frequently, he didn't use WeChat very much. There were a lot of group messages, but most of the personal chats were a matter of three or two sentences.
However, Lu Zhou thought that in the future, this mobile phone will become an increasingly nasty personal item. Maybe when Ye Qingchen felt that her mobile phone was not suitable for Lu Zhou to see that day, then she probably wouldn't just ask Lu Zhou for her mobile phone to find secrets.
Understand, it's always mutual. My daughter-in-law is also a reasonable person.
The two did it for a while, and the waiter at the restaurant brought the meal. And as more and more people come to dinner, the bar along the river in this restaurant is also full.
While Lu Zhou was eating, there was a family of three next to him, and the middle-aged man asked Lu Zhou something. The two couples looked like they were about the same age as their parents, while the daughter looked like they were about the same age.
The waiter walked up to the man, and the man directly talked to the waiter in Japanese. Hearing the waiter was a little confused, the man finally communicated with him in Chinese.
"It's really pretty." Lu Zhou thought while eating sushi. Just now this person was talking to him, and his Mandarin was still quite smooth. I wonder if he wanted to try his luck in this foreign land and see if he could find someone who could talk in his native language. object.
The man noticed Lu Zhou's gaze. He laughed and said in Chinese, "I'm sorry. I'm used to asking someone to speak Japanese when I go to a Japanese restaurant."
Lu Zhou nodded slightly, but didn't care much. He looked at Ye Qingchen's other side, and there was someone sitting there, looking at a couple.
At this time, the waiter came to the vicinity again, and Lu Zhou asked to order a small drink as soon as his mind moved. Seeing that the price on the price list is not too expensive, Lu Zhou does not understand this, and in his opinion, it is almost no different from dry liquor, such as high-level sake. degree of plum wine.
I don't know if it's authentic or not. Anyway, he just wants to have a drink. If it's not authentic, he can't drink it. Anyway, he just finds an excuse to stay in Pearl City with Ye Qingchen for one night.
The man next to him said casually, "The wine in this restaurant is relatively average. If you want to try something authentic, you can try this one from me."
Lu Zhou heard that he glanced at the wine bottle on the other side's table, and it was obvious that it was Japanese wine with a high number of heights. Well, let's forget it. How can I do business at night after drinking unconscious? !
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. This degree is too high, so I won't try it."
"The degree is similar to Huaxia's Maotai, but the grade of my wine is not high-end, and the taste is incomparable."
Also Maotai... In the eyes of those who can drink it, this tens of degrees of wine is just boiled water or is it? ! This is too difficult for a Cantonese person. Among the people Lu Zhou knows, there are many people who will turn red and faint after drinking a sip of beer.
In the end, Lu Zhou refused the kindness of the old Japanese gentleman, and drank some with Ye Qingchen with a low degree of plum wine.
But while eating, Lu Zhou looked at the Japanese family strangely. The husband was eating and drinking to himself, his expression was intoxicated, and occasionally he might have a few words with his wife and daughter. As for the wife and daughter, they mostly use Chinese when chatting.
"Mr. has been in Huaxia for a long time?" Lu Zhou took the wine glass and asked the other party to touch one.
The other party smiled, and after toasting with Luzhou, "Almost ten years..."
After he finished speaking, he also drank it directly, and Lu Zhou had to bite the bullet and dry the glass of plum wine.
During the chat, Lu Zhou also learned that the man's name is Toshi Sato. Although he is Japanese, he works for Samsung in South Korea, and he came to Samsung Huaxia in the early years for business expansion reasons.
Sato Yuanzhi was half-drunk, and there were a lot of people talking, and he didn't stop talking, and Lu Zhou was happy to listen to him.
"Sir said that you work in Samsung's chip department, but I remember that the scale of integrated circuits in the Guangnan area is not as developed as the Yangtze River area and the north."
Lu Zhou asked these things while drinking.
Sato smiled and took another sip of wine, "Mami is going to school here. I'm here to visit while taking a vacation."
Lu Zhou nodded slightly. You say this family, it's quite amazing. Listening to Sato's meaning, the couple are both pure Japanese. But then I went to work in South Korea. My daughter Mami was born at that time, and her nationality was still Japanese, but she grew up in South Korea, and she was not fluent in Japanese. As for Sato later came to Huaxia to work, her daughter came to Huaxia to study directly.
Sato was looking at the river view on the side, maybe because of the alcohol, he let out a slight sigh.
"There are actually not a few Japanese like me working in the Korean chip industry," he said.
Lu Zhou heard some interest, "Oh?"
Sato smiled, "Young man, you just said that your company invested in the chip industry, why? Didn't you know some of the history of the last century?"
Lu Zhou also smiled, but he didn't care. When he talked about his own lychee technology, he was looking for something to talk about. As for the comparison with any chip giant, he doesn't mean that. It's useless after all.
Sato didn't mean to be sarcastic, he sighed slightly, "Yes, it's strange to think about people from other countries to understand the glory of another country."
And Sato then continued to drink, while telling his story.
The transistor and semiconductor industries all originated in the United States. At that time, postwar Japan was in a period of economic recovery, and Sato was born in that era.
When he was young, Japan also relied on the strategy of "market for technology" to obtain some technology in the chip industry, and local American semiconductor companies also took this opportunity to enter the Japanese market. Later, the technology was exchanged, but it was several generations away from the technology of domestic semiconductors in the United States. The so-called businessman is no more than this, he keeps the latest technology, and the technology that is on the verge of obsolescence or is economically backward is used in exchange for the entire market.
When Sato went to school, he also went to one of the best universities in Tokyo because of his excellent grades, studying semiconductors and chips. The reason why Sato chose a major is also very simple. At that time, the Japanese government launched a joint research and development plan, and domestic semiconductor leading companies such as Hitachi, Fujitsu, Toshiba participated in it. It is probably not too much to say that the whole country is trying to catch up with the US semiconductor technology.
When it comes to working at Fujitsu after graduation, the pride on Sato's face is overflowing on his face.
In the 1980s, Japanese companies overtook American companies in certain fields of semiconductors!
Among the public tenders of large IT companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Japanese companies have successively defeated American companies in the chip field and won a large number of orders. And Fujitsu, where Sato is located, can be described as rising step by step. There is no other reason. For the same chips, Japanese companies not only have better performance than those produced by American companies, but also offer much lower prices than American companies!
Sato let out a long sigh as he spoke. He said that the 1980s were the heyday of Japanese chip companies. By the mid-1980s, even the former giant Intel had its first loss-making fiscal year, because many of its main businesses were attacked by many Japanese companies.
But while talking, Lu Zhou noticed that Sato's mood seemed to change from joy to sorrow.
In the next sentence, Sato's words made Lu Zhou fall into an indescribable emotion.
Sato said a lot, from all aspects of the country's economy, such as the housing market, the stock market and the changes in the lives of ordinary people. But no matter how much you hear it, it is not as thrilling as the words "Plaza Agreement" and "US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement".
It's like what an ordinary Chinese has seen and heard, or it's an unofficial anecdote. But listening to Lu Zhou's ears, he could also feel the helplessness conveyed by Sato, a middle-aged man.
Sato didn't stop his words. He continued the conversation.
At that time, South Korea was also the target market of American semiconductor companies, and most of the strategies adopted by American companies were similar to those of the Japanese market, exchanging backward technology for the domestic semiconductor market in South Korea. Sato said that when he was still at Fujitsu, he received countless Korean business groups every day at the best of times. I used to "kneel and lick" in front of me, but I didn't think that one day the other party would also have a chance.
Or the situation dictates.
By the end of the 1980s, under the influence of the United States, South Korea had a faint trend of rising in the semiconductor field, and Sato was at Fujitsu, and he also made it clear that the semiconductor business has been declining after its glory.
It was at that time that Sato left Japan to work at Samsung. He smiled, took a sip of wine, and said something like this, which is several times the salary in China~www.novelbuddy.com~ All the necessities of life in Korea are completely arranged, and he is the only pillar at home. , he had to choose to go to South Korea.
When it comes to Samsung's glory in the semiconductor industry in the last century, Sato is no longer as emotional as before. Although he is in the game, he acts like an outsider.
In the 1990s, Samsung was like a running bull in the field of semiconductors, especially storage semiconductors, from surpassing Toshiba's storage semiconductor production to developing the latest technology on the market...
A storm is an understatement in the mouth of this old Japanese gentleman. Maybe he witnessed some scenes in South Korea where he lived at that time, but he was not in the country after all, maybe many of them can only be heard later.
In this storm swept across Asia, many U.S. capital took advantage of the momentum to enter Samsung, which can be regarded as copying the lowest bottom in the low tide.
Sato didn't say the ending, and Lu Zhou didn't ask.
In this way, between the intertwining of gongs and chips, this long story has come to an end. Although Ye Qingchen didn't say anything next to her, she was somewhat bored looking at her expression.
Lu Zhou got up and took the bill, and said to Sato, "Mr. Sato, if you are paid several times as much as Samsung, would you consider changing jobs in another company?"
Sato also laughed, "Maybe. Mami speaks Chinese more fluently than Japanese, and sometimes I feel melancholy about this. But seeing her smiling happily every day doesn't seem to be a bad thing."
Lu Zhou smiled, and what he said about recruiting was nothing more than half-truth. After all, people only knew each other for a few hours, and it would take a lot of investigation to dig it. And when he listened to Sato's words, it was also very interesting.
He is a wonderful person, Lu Zhou thought to himself.
The two also left a contact information, and there was nothing left to say.
