Fang Zhuo’s inspection of Sony’s C-touch S image sensor was a project initiated last year.
Compared with its peers, its research and development progress is moderate.
Because Sony itself is the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of CCD sensors, and many well-known brands of consumer digital cameras use Sony sensors.
This is somewhat similar to the competitive relationship between mp3 and walkman, but unlike the former which is mixed with additional Internet factors, Sony still carried out the research and development project as a matter of course.
From what Fang Zhuo knows, this project is relatively stable within Sony.
Even if Stringer wants to cut back on business and R&D, it probably won't hit C-MoS.
As a foreign director, Fang Zhuo told him about this matter again and gave him a report on the results. Although there was some guidance possible, he did not intend to operate from this perspective. The success rate was not high and it would not help in the long run.
Benefit.
If the prospect of Sony's C-touch S technology really helps mobile phones, then it will be based on normal business cooperation and then using mutual relations to negotiate more favorable conditions.
Not only is it related to personal reputation, but also because Sony’s technical strength is very strong and can bring about continuous changes. Yike is obviously weak in this aspect. Before having a certain foundation, it is better to pursue a win-win situation.
Fang Zhuo had considerations in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
This made Ishiguro Suke, the technical team leader of the C-to-S project reception, very nervous.
Ishiguro doesn't think that the project in hand is so sure, especially since the group has changed. Not only has an American chairman come, but also an enemy of Sony has been recruited. Now he went straight to C on the second day of the shareholders' meeting.
S…
Who knows what will happen?
Therefore, before Fang Zhuo and his party arrived, Ishiguro told his colleagues and subordinates that they must be respectful and polite this time and not let the other party make any excuses.
In order to take precautions, Ishiguro also carefully studied and asked for advice.
When Fang Zhuo and others arrived at the department office accompanied by Ishiguro, they saw a very Chinese scene, with a red welcome banner already put up.
"Mr. Fang, I heard that you came to care about our project. The whole department is very grateful. We kindly ask you to leave your ink for us to encourage you from time to time."
Ishiguro Suke pointed seriously at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that were also displayed, his attitude was extremely sincere.
Fang Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he listened to this man's strong Japanese English and looked at the ridiculous inscription scene.
He looked around. On the left were teachers and students from Tsinghua University, and on the right were two technical talents from Xu Keden and Howe Technology. He found this matter more and more interesting, and said in Chinese with a smile: "Does Japan also have an inscription culture? It's so funny."
Whether it's associate professor Liu Quanpeng or Xu Keden, everyone really doesn't know whether this custom exists in Japan.
Xu Keden suppressed his laughter and asked: "Mr. Fang, I am very kind to you. Just write whatever you want."
Fang Zhuo took two steps forward, looked at Ishiguro and the equally respectful Japanese behind him, and felt that this world was really wonderful.
As he dipped his brush in ink, he asked, "Ishiguro, do you really know how to punish me all the time?"
Ishiguro said seriously: "President Fang, you are our director, of course we will follow the leadership's instructions."
Fang Zhuo estimated that as a director, he would be able to serve until Stringer stepped down, which might take several years.
He thought for a while, not wanting to waste time on such flattery, so he wrote eight words with a splash of ink.
We are both enemies and friends, and we seek common ground despite differences.
Ishiguro, or in other words, Ishiguro, I know that there are some inexplicable slanders against me from the outside world. They also call me "Sony's enemy" and think that I came to Sony to cause trouble. These are all misinformation.
ah.
Yike does have some competitive relationships with Sony, but in a globalized business environment, competition and cooperation are normal. We can retain some disagreements with each other and pursue common development goals.
Fang Zhuo's calligraphy is quite skillful.
But Liu Quanpeng and Xu Keden, who gathered around curiously, applauded because it was still the meaning of the word.
"Do you think they can understand it?" Fang Zhuo asked with a smile in Chinese, throwing up his pen.
"You should be able to understand. There are many people here who understand Chinese characters." Xu Keden said.
Fang Zhuo nodded, seeing Ishiguro respectfully put away the inscription, he smiled and said: "This person is interesting, a bit slippery, you should be careful when looking at their technical progress and prospects, tonight or tomorrow, I want to see a copy of what I can do
An understandable submission."
Everyone next to me nodded.
Seeing that Mr. Fang was not knocked unconscious by flattery, they became more and more sober.
No matter how I got into Sony, this kind of occasion is really rare.
At present, in the world's CCD industry, more than 90% of the global market is occupied by Japanese manufacturers, and Sony dominates it.
But when it comes to C-touch S R&D, Canon is the earliest to start. According to the estimate of Chu Dingzhang, who switched jobs from OmniVision Technology, Canon's R&D progress is definitely ahead of Sony, and is likely to be No. 1 in the world.
Fang Zhuo likes to listen to objective expressions and speculations from experts.
For example, the situation of Canon can be confirmed again. If it is true as Chu Dingzhang said, then chatting with Stringer will be another driving factor. Look at Canon. Our Sony is lagging behind and we haven’t found it yet.
Do it with help?
Serious technical exploration and exchange begins.
Fang Zhuo talks about technology=Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word.
He brought people here today just to show off his face. All he had to do was open the door and give a serious expression.
For example, C Touch S involves pixel array, timing control, signal denoising and other exchanges. He only needs to have a basic impression of it. When he presented these to Stringer, he didn't even know what C Touch S was.
You might even have to praise yourself for being professional.
Fang Zhuo was generally serious, sometimes shaking his head slightly, sometimes nodding slightly.
Ishiguro was already sweating on his forehead from Liu Quanpeng and Chu Dingzhang's repeated questions. Looking at Mr. Fang's expression, he realized that he had come prepared today and had many plans.
In particular, Chu Dingzhang, who spoke very standard English, asked extremely tricky questions. Some forward-looking technology nodes were key points planned by Sony but had not yet been developed.
As Ishiguro answered, he suddenly became a little suspicious. Could it be that this person was born in Canon? Has the outside world's technology research and development already reached that advanced level?
Fang Zhuo saw Ishiguro's embarrassment beneath his sweat, and took advantage of the gap to ask rather strangely: "Is Sony's technology very backward? Why is this Japanese team leader starting to stumble?"
Chu Dingzhang answered the new boss's question: "Mr. Fang, it is easy to ask questions but difficult to develop, and easy to destroy but difficult to build. I asked some questions that Haowei Technology also found difficult. If it were me to answer them, I would not be as good as him."
Fang Zhuo: "..."
He asked: "Judging from the current questions and feelings, what is the level of Sony's technology in this area?"
"Compared with Haowei, they have their own merits, but like Germany's Allais, the machine they will launch this year will be a step ahead." Chu Dingzhang paused, "However, according to Sony's plan, if small problems are solved,
The problem of built-in ADC digital-to-analog converter under the size should be developed very quickly in the future."
