Chapter 490 Going to Korea Again

When it comes to flash memory, we have to mention Japan's Toshiba, because the fast flash processor was the concept proposed by Toshiba. Later, Intel produced the first flash memory and put it on the market, and launched a flash memory chip in 1988.

But when it comes to the commonly used U disk in later generations, that is, USB flash disk, there are many companies claiming to be the first inventor, such as China's Netac Technology, Israel's M Company, Singapore's Trek Company, etc.

However, in the end, it was China's Netac Technology that really obtained the basic invention patent of USB flash disk, and it was authorized by the United States National Patent Office.

However, with the mentality of ending this kind of wrangling incident, when the USB interface had not yet appeared, the patent for USB flash disk undoubtedly belonged to Dongxu Technology. And not only flash disks, but also USB, a format interface that is ignored on computers, belongs to Dongxu Technology.

As for the USB interface, Intel, Compo and IBM and other companies jointly proposed it on November 11, 1994, which was intercepted by Yang Dongxu in the first half of 1994.

At present, the memory size of the USB flash drive mastered by Dongxu Technology is only about 50MB, and the size of a song is about 7MB, which means that it is basically full if you store 7 songs. But this is definitely a cross-era product, because its size is about the same as a matchbox, and its thickness is half of that of a matchbox, and its weight is very light.

At the same time, the USB interface is not only a cut-off but also a technical transcendence. At present, companies such as Intel and Compo have not even used the 1.0 version of USB with a speed of 192KB/S. Because the USB interface they are going to propose is still just a concept this year, and the 1.0 version of the interface will not be launched until 1997.

Dongxu Technology has already mastered the 1.1 version of USB 1.5MB/S, and the 2.0 version has also reached the threshold. So although Yang Dongxu is suspected of cutting off these two technologies, what he cut off is not just patents and names, but he has real technology.

So he originally thought of waiting until the second half of the year to launch the 1.0 version of the USB interface, and at the same time use flash memory technology and integrate other technologies to see if he can get MP3 out early.

Like VCD, MP3 production actually has technical support at present. What is lacking is just an inspiration to design it. And Yang Dongxu naturally has no lack of such inspiration.

Although he does not understand the specific technology, he knows what MP3 is for and what functions it should have. Using the functions to reversely infer the requirements for hardware is simply too easy for those big names in the laboratory.

But because Sony is the only one in the Walkman market, and in the computer market, Microsoft Compu and others are far ahead of Dongxu Technology. So these two technologies are still in the patent application stage, and he plans to keep them until next year when all the technologies are fully mature and use them as a killer.

But the sudden establishment of the World Trade Organization and the subsequent targeted technology blockade forced him to speed up his pace. No matter how much profit he can make after launching these two tea products, he must first knock the United States out with a stick and see if he can knock a crack in the technology blockade they are planning.

Of course, while swinging the stick, Dongxu Technology must also make a presence in the world's electronic industry with new breakthrough technologies. Apart from other things, if the OEM of other electronic products is aborted due to the targeted blockade of the United States, the production of the world's USB interface and data cable and MP3, two epoch-making electronic products, can also be placed in China.

Let's not talk about other fields, at least in the field of electronics, it must not be like the later generations, China has been in a desert period of more than 20 years. Even when he is reborn, what CPU, graphics card, hard disk, etc., in short, except for the shell, the other major components of the computer are still foreign. China always feels a grade behind.

Since it is impossible to compete with Microsoft and Apple, which specializes in hardware, in core hardware. Let's start from small places. The USB excuse is just the first one that Yang Dongxu took out, and then the epoch-making hard disk in time. Then move on to the graphics card. In short, even if it is impossible to make all the hardware of a computer domestically made, at least it must occupy a leading position in one or several hardware.

"Go to South Korea, why go to South Korea?" Yang Dongxu looked at Li Fuzhen in surprise.

Today he went to Li Fuzhen to find out about the situation at the WTO. Excluding China from this organization is obviously targeted, so Yang Dongxu wants to test the severity of the other party's current blockade of mainland technology, to see if he can buy some technology in time, or sign a few big orders first. But who would have thought that Li Fuzhen would ask him to accompany her back to Korea right away.

"The Blue Dragon Awards are about to be presented, and the only shares I own in Korea are BS and SBS TV stations. So I naturally have to go back in person for such an important award." Li Fuzhen looked at Yang Dongxu with dissatisfaction.

This made Yang Dongxu scratch his head, and for a while he couldn't figure out what the Blue Dragon Awards were. However, with his future at BS Entertainment and SBS TV, it was obviously an award related to the entertainment industry.

But he didn't even go to the Golden Horse Awards, why did he go to this Blue Dragon Awards? And he went so far to Korea, and this award was supposed to be a domestic award, right? For example, the Golden Horse Awards have never been presented to foreign stars or films, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that they didn't come to participate.

But in the final analysis, this kind of award is basically a regional award, so the participants must be Koreans and the Korean entertainment industry. It's okay for a foreigner like him to come here and not get the prize. But if he wins the prize, how can the little hearts of Koreans bear it?

"You are the major shareholder of BS, and many of this year's Blue Dragon Award winners are members of our company. Shouldn't you, the boss, come forward to encourage you?" Li Fujin looked at Yang Dongxu.

This made Yang Dongxu's eyes become strange. As the boss of BS, he must participate in the Eqinglong Award? This reason is too far-fetched. It is true that he is the major shareholder of BS, but first of all, he is Chinese, not Korean.

So at this time, he, the major shareholder, is hiding so as not to hurt the fragile hearts of Koreans. Li Fuzhen wanted to drag him along at this time. Obviously, there must be a monster when things go wrong.

Seeing Yang Dongxu's strange eyes, Li Fuzhen couldn't help but feel panicked. But his expression returned to normal in an instant and he said: "Have you not always shined at Samsung Electronics' overseas foundry business? And in Hong Kong, you asked Samsung to come forward to help you cover up. Although we have an agreement, did you go over and have a good talk with my father? talk?"

"Well?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin.

Although he found that Li Fuzhen was very abnormal today, there must be something he didn't know about. However, putting aside the far-fetched reason of the Blue Dragon Award, whether it is Samsung Electronics' OEM or Hong Kong real estate issues, it is indeed necessary to have a good communication with the leader of Samsung, especially the latter who must not make any mistakes.

He pondered for a moment. Although he didn't want to go to South Korea, he couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he had to say: "When will we leave?"

"Tomorrow." Li Fuzhen said immediately. Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yang Dongxu felt that Li Fuzhen was a little cheery at this time. Seemingly realizing that something was wrong with his expression, Li Fuzhen quickly put away the expression on his face: "If you have something to do, it can be the day after tomorrow. The Blue Dragon Award will be held on the 26th, and there are still three or four days left."

"The day after tomorrow." Yang Dongxu looked at Li Fuzhen strangely, and finally couldn't hold it back: "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Is there anything I'm hiding from you? No." Li Fuzhen said with an unchanging expression: "If you don't want to go, that's fine, just say so. How come I can sell you after I bring you to South Korea?"

"Really?" Yang Dongxu frowned. He always felt like he was being tricked.

"If you don't want to go, don't go. Where did all the nonsense come from?" Li Fujin looked at Yang Dongxu with a straight face.

"If you don't, then there won't be." Yang Dongxu waved his hand and said, "Can you tell me what your father likes? I can't be empty-handed when we meet for the first time, right?"

"What do you mean?" Li Fujin looked at Yang Dongxu warily.

It was her first time to bring a gift to a woman's home, and it was a man going to the woman's house to meet her parents, which made her think a lot. But while she was vigilant, Li Fuzhen was still a little panicked, because she didn't feel disgusted or repelled by Yang Dongxu's move. Instead, she was a little bit happy. This was definitely not how she should feel under normal circumstances.

"Don't be so sensitive, okay?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes. Seeing Li Fuzhen's wary look, he obviously misunderstood that he was coming to propose marriage. "Although we were discussing cooperation this time, you and I are still friends. He is your father. Whether it is before or after the negotiation, it is always a courtesy for me to visit him, right?"

If it is a purely business cooperation, then it would be a good choice to give something after the negotiation to express the friendly relationship between the two parties. For example, a pen or something would be a good choice.

But when a friend like Li Fuzhen is involved, it's a bit like paying a visit to the elders. In addition, Li Fuzhen worked closely with him in China, and the head of Samsung also turned a blind eye and said nothing, although it was because he did not want his daughter to marry a security guard.

But they did help Yang Dongxu a lot, so this time he went to the business negotiation for negotiation, and he must not be rude in private.

"You don't need to bring anything. If you want to visit my father in private, I will explain it to you when I get home. You can just go over to eat." Li Fuzhen's delicate face turned red. She obviously knew that she had misunderstood, but her strong heart instantly made her She calmed down.

"Yes, asking you is a waste of time. I have thought about it myself." Yang Dongxu stood up.

I went to visit in private just because I had a relationship with Li Fuzhen and I didn't want to be rude. If I came to the door empty-handed, even if they didn't recommend it, what's the difference between it and being rude?
