Chapter 480: Turned out to be him

When the fat Japanese man reported his name and the company he worked for, Tan Zhenhua couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, as if he had heard of this person's name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Of course, regardless of whether this person was really famous in his previous life, at least the company he worked for must be as arrogant, so he smiled: "Toshiba, that's a big, famous company. Look at you, definitely The position is quite high, right."
This is what he said smoothly. In fact, it is nonsense. He is not a senior employee of Toshiba. On a business trip, can he start first class? If it is an ordinary employee, even if Toshiba is a powerful company in the country, I am afraid it would not be so luxurious, right?
Unexpectedly, this sentence happened to poke Fujio Masuoka's mind. After a slight daze, he forced a smile and said, "Yes, my current position is not bad."
Tan Zhenhua suddenly saw his insincere words. This seems to be facing professional difficulties. What does it mean "the current position is not bad." What about the future? And looking at his expression when he said this, I'm afraid something wrong has come to the door, right?
However, this is a private matter of others. Xiao Tan Tan also has no hobby of casually exploring people's privacy, so he can only pretend that he did not see this embarrassing situation, and he began to have a conversation with this Mr. Fujio. It started, and the topic naturally started from the electronics that both parties are more familiar with.
"Then Mr. Fujio, since you are at the top of a large company like Toshiba, you must have studied electronics. You think I have just entered this threshold. I wonder if you have any advice for a younger generation like me? "
Tan Zhenhua lowered his posture and asked the senior for advice quite politely. Moreover, he is really interested in this topic. After all, his knowledge is quite far away from this era or to be ahead of this era. You must know that from the late 1980s to the first two decades of the 21st century, I am afraid that there is nothing. A subject has developed so rapidly in electronics, and has extended a series of cutting-edge application subjects based on it, such as the Internet, such as information processing, such as artificial intelligence, and the current status of electronics development in the early 1980s was his The knowledge content that needs to be supplemented immediately can never make a joke of crossing at that time...
Science, especially engineering science, doesn’t have enough accumulation and the support of basic disciplines. If you have the abilities, it’s not enough. You are like Xiao Tan Tan himself, although you know all the principles of phased array radar. , He himself can be regarded as one of the authorities in this area, but now you let him make this thing out, at least in China, that is impossible. Among other things, where do you go to process those "T/R" components that require extremely high precision and integration? Where can I find a DSP processor that can perform fast Fourier transform at ten million times per second for back-end signal processing? "
Therefore, in the "cheat book" he was preparing to hand over to Benfang, the first goal he wanted to achieve was "Pulse Doppler Airborne Fire Control Radar", which is also "PD", rather than the taller "PESA" That is, passive phased array radar, or "AESA", that is, active phased array radar. These things, wait for the support of basic science and devices, and you can’t make a fat man with a bite.
Fujio Masuoka obviously has a good impression of this younger generation who is humbly asking for advice, and this one also claims to be from China.
Huaxia, this is a bit interesting. At least in his own understanding, it is still an extremely backward country. If measured by the standards of the Japanese country, I am afraid that most Huaxia people can be regarded as living on the poverty line. Below, the well-mannered Chinese teenager in front of him bought a first-class ticket on his way to study in the United States!
What does this show? It shows that this teenager must have an extraordinary family background!
Huaxia, that is Toshiba, or the market that the entire Japanese nation has been striving for. So making friends with this extraordinary young man should be a good choice?
Or, this may also be an opportunity to get rid of the current embarrassment?
Thinking about this in his mind, Fujio Masuoka smiled and replied: "I can't talk about advice. I have only worked in this industry for a few years, so what I can boast in front of you is probably more experience. But when it comes to the future of electronics, I personally still have a little opinion, and I will tell you for your reference."
Tan Zhenhua immediately replied: "Senior Fujio, please speak."
Fujio Masuoka cleared his throat and said: "I think you just read the book "Electronics". I have also read this book. It is indeed a good book, especially the book contains a large number of various types. The actual cases of analog circuits have a lot of reference value."
Tan Zhenhua nodded. In fact, this basic textbook from Harvard University has not only been cited by many schools as an introductory course, but also many engineers put it on hand as one of the necessary reference books. The situation even continued into the new century, showing the profound influence of this book.
So Fujio Masuoka said, Tan Zhenhua strongly agrees.
Seeing him nodding, Fujio Masuoka continued: "But from my personal point of view, the development trend of electronics in the future will probably be farther and farther away from the situation exemplified in this book."
"Oh? Why do you see it?" Tan Zhenhua asked with interest.
"Because the examples in this book are all analog circuits, and judging from the current trend, the future will be the world of digital circuits." Fujio Masuoka said in an unusually positive tone.
Tan Zhenhua couldn’t help being more curious when he heard this. It’s not that he disagrees with Fujio Masuoka’s conclusion, but that the conclusion drawn by this categorical one is really too accurate. The development of electronics in the next few decades has fully proved it. at this point.
"Then, Mr. Fujio, it seems that you have a unique experience with digital circuits. Let me ask one more question. Among these digital circuits, which circuits will be most widely used?"
"Of course there are two categories: storage and computing."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhenhua immediately looked at this Fujio Masuoka with admiration. From the two conclusions he said, he fully demonstrated his foresight in the development of electronic applications. In fact, storage and computing, these two directions, are the two most important applications of electronics in the future, and the other side branches developed are just for the two main categories of application services or extensions.
The people who could say this in 1982 can never be the general generation!
Tan Zhenhua has already labeled this person, and combined with his familiar feelings in his heart, he decided to test this Mr. Fujio more.
"Then Mr. Fujio, since you have pointed out these two directions with certainty, as you are at Toshiba, you should have carried out some exploration and research in this area? Can you talk about it? Just give it to the juniors. The guidance on the direction is good."
Tan Zhenhua’s problem immediately scratched the itch of Fujio Masuoka. In fact, he has conducted a lot of exploration and research on storage since 1980, and has achieved quite fruitful results. Unfortunately, Toshiba's internal attention to his results The conclusion given is:
"Please put it on the shelf."
And this is obviously something that he cannot tolerate and cannot accept. What's more, because his research has spent a lot of money, the company has even implicitly hinted that he will cut his salary!
How can this be tolerated?
And this time, he intends to take the opportunity of a business trip to go to the United States to conduct a private communication with Intel, one of the overlords of the chip industry, to see if he can seize other opportunities.
So, since the young man in front of me is so open-minded and eager to learn, as a predecessor, I just instilled relevant knowledge and ideas into him. It cannot affect the old stubborns of the company. At least, it may affect the young people in the future ?
So he proudly said: "Yes, my research is mainly in storage, and this year I improved an EEPROM chip, reducing the memory cell from two transistors currently in use to one. The benefits of this It is obvious that it can reduce the cost first, and the research I am carrying out is to change the storage state of this transistor by external electric charge, instead of the general ultraviolet erasing in the past, um, yes, I give it back This chip has a name called "Flash"."
When Fujio Masuoka said the word "Flash", Tan Zhenhua's heart suddenly opened up. No wonder he felt familiar when he heard the name. It turned out that it was him!
