Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

"Xiaofeng! Look~ look! The sun!"

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Bai Chuanfeng, who was sitting in the gazebo eating iced watermelon, raised his head for some unknown reason.

"The sun!" Yuko Tanaka pointed to the sunset in the west, with a hint of exclamation in her excited tone.

"Huh?" Bai Chuanfeng turned his gaze away.

On the vast land, the afterglow of the setting sun is gradually slanting westward.

A small part of the disc-sized and glowing red sunset has slowly disappeared below the horizon.

"The sunset is beautiful?" Bai Chuanfeng looked at her with certainty.

Not to mention that although it is summer, the sun rarely shows its gentle side at this time.

In a less dazzling situation, the red sunset contrasts with the earth, which has a special flavor.

"The sunset is indeed beautiful, but the sun is actually setting from the horizon~"

Yuko Tanaka looked at the setting sun in the distance and murmured to herself, with indescribable admiration and feelings from that obsessive expression.

The evening wind blew, and the long hair on the forehead trembled slightly.

Although she is an old couple, Bai Chuanfeng is still stunned by her unique charm in the sunset.

After regaining consciousness and hearing her exclamation, Bai Chuanfeng subconsciously wanted to refute: If the sun doesn't set from the horizon, does it disappear by itself?

But when he looked at the gradually setting sun again, Bai Chuanfeng suddenly understood why Yuko Tanaka had such a sigh.

In the past, every evening in Neon, the sun either set into the mountains or disappeared into the sea.

But it is almost never the case that it is slowly disappearing over the horizon as it is now.

The land is long and narrow, "the desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the long river is full of sunset." This kind of artistic conception can't be experienced in Neon anyway.

"Huaxia is really big~" Yuko Tanaka withdrew her gaze, and there was still a little shock in her heart.

She was summoned by Bai Chuanfeng when she came to Huaxia this time, and it happened that she was fine in Neon.

Ever since they had Xiao Qingkong and the others, the two of them haven't had a good vacation.

This time was just right, so after tidying up, she flew to Huaxia alone.

Unexpectedly, when she came to China for the first time, she received an unparalleled welcome.

People don't know her name, but they call her Ashin one after another.

After listening to the explanations from the people around her, Yuko Tanaka understood why she was so popular.

It turned out that "Oshin" had been introduced to China last year, and it set off a new round of frenzy in ratings.

On Neon NHK TV station, "Oshin" has the highest audience rating of 62.9%, which is already high enough.

But in Huaxia, its peak ratings are 80%, and every meal time can be said to be almost empty.

At that time, a group of people could often be seen surrounding a small black and white TV, lamenting the tortuous fate of a foreign woman.

So it can probably be imagined that when people find that the people in the TV series come into reality. And when I came from a foreign country, I was so excited and surprised.

Because of her high reputation, Yuko Tanaka also attended some cultural activities after coming to China.

On some formal occasions, when the couple attended together, Yuko Tanaka's popularity far surpassed that of Bai Chuanfeng.

Even when meeting the old man, the other party laughed and made a joke: a woman in neon can also hold up half the sky.

Yes, this time when he came to Yanjing, Bai Chuanfeng also met the old man who drew several circles on the map.

As the neon company with the largest investment in China so far, Bai Chuanfeng received a very grand reception.

Although Panasonic and Toshiba have cooperated with Huaxia earlier, their investment scale is definitely not as large as the current Baichuan Electric.

Because on the way from the south to Yanjing, Bai Chuanfeng also invested in some projects in Sioux City, Jinling, Qingdao, and Jinmen.

It is still a joint venture between the two parties, and the cooperation projects range from ordinary household appliances to dry batteries used in daily life.

For some products such as CTR TVs, microwave donkeys, electric kettles, rice cookers, etc., Baichuan Electric itself does not manufacture in Neon.

Because there are too many competitors and too thin margins, this field is basically not involved.

But after Bai Chuanfeng visited China, he realized that the Walkman, stereo, CD player, VCD player, LCD TV, laptop, etc. that he was proud of were completely useless in China.

There is almost no room for the above products to survive in China now, and at least four or five years later, it will be the time for these products to play a role.

On the contrary, some household appliances necessary for life are scarce resources in China.

So after some investigation, Bai Chuanfeng simply decided to form a joint venture with a local organization to develop household appliances and promote them in China.

Although Baichuan Electric does not make these products itself, there is no doubt that its technology accumulation is still much higher than that of Huaxia at this time.

Moreover, these household appliances themselves do not have any technical difficulties, and it is a matter of minutes for Baichuan Electric to do so.

As for the joint venture company established here with Huaxia, the technology is provided by Baichuan Electric. The factory building, factory site, labor and so on are provided by the local organization.

Of course, some necessary equipment, and Huaxia has no capacity, will also be arranged by Baichuan Electric Appliances.

After the joint venture, the factory is operated, and both parties are responsible for the profit and loss, and the profits are distributed according to the shares.

To be honest, these investments are promising but not particularly outstanding for Shirakawa Electric.

At this time, there is a gap in the Chinese market, and it is worth trying for Shirakawa Electric in the field of home appliances.

It is still unknown whether it will become a giant in the Chinese home appliance market in the future, or enter Southeast Asia.

After all, these businesses do not conflict with the current Baichuan Electric. It doesn't constitute a competition either, it's a matter of convenience.

But another part of the reason is that Bai Chuanfeng has some selfishness towards the place called the first hometown.

If the future of these factories can be expected, it will be regarded as a windfall.

No matter how bad it is, it can cultivate some technical talents here, as well as advanced management experience, quality system, business channel system, after-sales service system and so on.

They can all provide positive help to Huaxia's growth. As for how much they can learn, it depends on the fortune of each place.

And his going around all the way, almost scattered 200 million US dollars of investment.

Last year, that is, in 1985, the share of foreign investment in China as a whole was about 1.5 billion US dollars.

This year is roughly maintained at this level, but Baichuan Electric alone accounts for 13% of the total investment of hundreds of foreign-funded enterprises, which is not an ordinary large proportion.

There is also no doubt that Baichuan Electric is currently the largest foreign investor in China.

After staying in Yanjing for two days, Bai Chuanfeng was not in a hurry to leave.

It happened that Yuko Tanaka was also there, and the two of them simply regarded this trip as a vacation.

Speaking of Yanjing vacation places, Xiangshan Park is of course a place to visit.

But it's a pity, before Bai Chuanfeng and the others sneaked away for two days, another guest came to the door.

"Mr. Bai Chuan, hello, I'm Zhang Jin from the Second Institute of Computer Science."

The dark-skinned man in front of him grabbed Bai Chuanfeng's hand and shook it vigorously.

As the name suggests, a pair of big hands are very powerful.

"Mr. Zhang, who are you?" Bai Chuanfeng was a little confused by the enthusiasm of the person in front of him.

"Mr. Bai Chuan heard that the radio factory, a joint venture between you and Pengcheng Nanshan, is looking for available localized parts?

Can you see if the audio chip and DAC decoding chip produced by our computer two can be used? "

As he spoke, the man didn't wait for Bai Chuanfeng's reaction, he reached out and took out a bunch of wrapped handkerchiefs from his briefcase.

As the handkerchief unfolded, a few black, small chips were lying there quietly.

This... Bai Chuanfeng was stunned.

Huaxia can still produce its own chips here? It's only the 80s, are you sure you're right?

The fact is that there is no mistake. In the 1980s, Huaxia not only produced its own chips, but even achieved a process of about 3 microns.

At present, the mainstream chip manufacturing process in the world is 1-1.5 microns. China is about a generation and a half behind, but it is still not behind.

In 1980, the fourth-generation distributed projection lithography machine developed by Qinghua University had an accuracy of 3 microns.

At that time, it was second only to the United States and close to the international mainstream level.

It is a pity that in recent years, with the shortage of funds and changes in the international environment, the development of its lithography machine has become more and more difficult.

In addition to lithography machines, Huaxia also has corresponding integrated circuit research institutions.

Among them, the Second Institute of Computer Science and Yongchuan Semiconductor in the Land of Abundance are among the best.

Their technology is not as good as the international mainstream level, but they have everything they should have.

There are everything from registers to SRAM, DRAM, amplifier integrated circuits, voltage regulator integrated circuits, and digital-to-analog power conversion chips.

But as a research institution, not only must there be products, but also a market.

Obviously, Huaxia's market is limited at this time, except for government agencies, civilian companies hardly use these products.

And relying on the small amount of the government alone, it is impossible to support the chip research institute, which is a big money swallower.

So this is why Zhang Jin traveled all the way to find Bai Chuanfeng.

Facing his eager eyes, Bai Chuanfeng frowned.
