No trust

"Dahe Sang, Hongchuan has not broken his promise, nor has he violated his agreement with you."

Huh? Norio Ohga frowned, still looking at Hongkawa Kaede intently, waiting for his further explanation.

"If he remembers correctly, Sony will launch its own CD player in early October, right?"

Sony has already announced that news, and it has even been reported by the media.

Oga Norio nodded slightly and did not deny it, but he still didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Hongchuan Maple Gourd.

"Please rest assured that Hongchuan Electric's CD player will definitely come out after Sony. I can still guarantee that."

After listening to Hongchuan Kaede's words, Norio Ohga was in a daze for a moment.

On the outside and inside, I didn’t know whether to be surprised or angry. In short, it was extremely uncomfortable.

But Hongchuan Feng looked at him calmly. What he said was right.

Hongchuan Electric's portable CD player will definitely not be released in early October due to schedule issues.

Even if it is optimistically estimated that it will be on the market at the end of October or early November, does that mean everything is going well?

As for the current press conference, it is just publicity in advance. How can it be said that he violated the agreement?

Norio Ohga's chest rose and fell a few times, and finally he slowly regained his composure.

He stared at Hongchuan Feng for two seconds with eyes full of meaning, and finally spoke calmly.

"Hongchuan-san, I hope I can keep my promise."

After saying that, Norio Ohga left there without looking back and walked straight towards the entrance of the hall, where Kozo Ohsone had been waiting for a long time.

Ohga Norio was unreasonably angry, even though Hongkawa Kaede had repeatedly emphasized that Hongkawa Electric’s CD opportunities would be introduced to the market after Sony.

But if the press conference was held early, I wonder if Sony disclosed some information to the media, but did not fully disclose the detailed information of the CD player.

Not only Sony, but also Philips.

What does that mean? It means that Hongchuan Electric is now the first company in the world to launch its own CD player and hold a press conference.

That also means that Hongchuan Electric has the title of the world's first CD player, and it is not a portable CD player!

Even if the finished product of Hongchuan Electric is far away from being released, if the news is released tomorrow, that name will belong to him!

In those days, everyone would hold a press conference to promote the product, but it was usually held one or two weeks before the product was launched.

Unlike Hongchuan Electric, which held the meeting two or three months in advance, there was simply no moral ethics.

After what happened, it is estimated that Sony and Philips will definitely take action, not to mention other companies.

But Hongchuan Feng can no longer control so much. As long as he is in the market, a little caution is not worth mentioning.

Besides, I did not break the contract. Alas, Oga Sang is too sensitive.

After seeing off Norio Ohga, Kaede Hongkawa returned to her seat at the east end of the stage. Just as she was walking east, she was greeted by an unexpected visitor.

"Mr. Hongchuan, it's an honor to meet me. He is IBM's technical director, Carlo Robert. Just call him Robert."

Huh? Hongchuan Feng looked at the foreigner with a high nose in front of him in surprise.

IBM? How did the wrong party appear there?

Although there were many doubts in his mind, Fu Hongchuanfeng stretched out his legs in front of Fu Fang, and Fu Fudong consciously stretched his legs to shake Wu Fang's hand.

"Hong Chuan Feng, nice to meet you."

At that time, a middle-aged man named Zaihara Zhenger who was with Robert also came over to greet Hongchuan Feng.

After introducing themselves to each other, Hongchuan Feng found out that he was the president of IBM Neon Division.

"Mr. Hongchuan, the speech you just gave was wonderful." Unlike the reserved people around him, Robert was very generous and enthusiastic.

"Thank you. Mr. Robert would be honored to come to Hongchuan Electric's briefing."

Hong Chuanfeng didn't know why people from IBM were there, but he still maintained his humility on the surface.

It was a troubled time at that time. The IBM industrial case was making a lot of noise. The wrong party showed up at Hongchuan Electric's briefing, which made people think a lot.

Robert didn't seem to be aware of it, and he still went straight to the topic enthusiastically.

"Mr. Hongchuan, I have to say that the CD storage technology I just described in Taiwan is very exciting.

Although IBM invented the floppy disk, we have to admit that compared with CD-ROM, its capacity is indeed somewhat outdated."

When Robert said that, Hongchuan Feng suddenly realized that the wrong person was not the inventor of the floppy disk.

And just now I was talking nonsense on stage about how CD storage could kill floppy disks instantly and how it would play the role of floppy disk gravedigger in the future.

It turns out that the real owner is walking beside him now. Even if Hongchuan Feng is thick-skinned enough, he feels a little bit embarrassed at this moment.

"Well, Mr. Robert, I'm glad you came to that briefing.

I apologize if there is any offense to the introduction just now about CDs and floppy disks."

It turned out that Hongchuan Feng had not finished speaking, but Robert burst into laughter.

If Ichiro Watanabe hadn't been on stage to give a speech, he would probably have laughed even more exaggeratedly.

"Mr. Hongchuan, we Orientals are always like that, too reserved.

Is it true that the capacity of CDs exceeds that of floppy disks? Although this is a bit frustrating at first, the development of technology is not that objective.

Once it falls behind, it will be replaced by other technologies, and it is inevitable that it will be abandoned by the times.

It may seem a bit heartless to say that, but they want to respect the laws of the evolution of things."

Robert's words immediately changed Hongchuan Feng's impression of him.

Those foreigners, especially senior executives, are not always so direct when they shut up, and they are always asking for harm.

If you can treat optical disk storage in this way, then things will become interesting.

"Mr. Hongchuan, if I don't mind about optical disk storage, they might as well talk alone if they have time later."

Hong Chuanfeng didn't even need to ask, the wrong party had already taken the initiative to invite him.

"Of course, after the matter at Hongchuan Electric Co., Ltd. comes to an end, he will definitely visit us in person."

I don’t know what IBM’s idea is at first, but Hong Chuanfeng already has some ideas in his mind.

Without hesitation, he immediately agreed to Robert's invitation.

"I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Hongchuan again. He will be in Neon during that time and you can come to see him at any time."

Robert came to Neon to discuss whether he would handle the Yue Li, IBM spy case, and he was the technical director.

Appointed by the headquarters, he was asked to come to Neon to thoroughly inspect the technology of Yueli's mainframe to see if there were any infringements.

Previously, Hongkawa Kaede and Fujitsu Matsuka Moriyoshi discussed whether the technical review could be accepted by Yueli, and it was very likely that Robert would perform it.

It happened that during the time when Wan Fang was in Neon, he noticed the existence of Hongchuan Electric's press conference.

After hearing about Fangfang, a technology and electronics company, Robert, who had nothing to do, attended the briefing session of Hongchuan Electric, accompanied by staff from Neon Headquarters.

Robert, who was originally just trying to make a fool of himself, was actually introduced to CD storage technology in front of his face.

In fact, that technology really shocked him, and he came to visit Hongchuan Feng as soon as he came to Taiwan.

As the inventor of the floppy disk, IBM is very aware of the threats that CD storage technology will bring to its own floppy disks.

Immediately notify the headquarters and nip CD storage technology in the cradle before it develops?

No! Robert's first consideration was whether to use optical disk storage technology to bring benefits to IBM!

Technology cannot kill you, and as technical director Robert knows this very well.

Even if there is no longer Kurokawa Electric, there will still be Kurokawa Electric to promote the application of optical disk storage.

Optical disc storage technology will not be erased from the world just because Hongchuan Electric disappears.

Moreover, Robert knew very well that the maximum capacity of a floppy disk is currently only about 1MB, which is a huge gap compared to the 700MB of a CD.

IBM's annual investment in research and development of floppy disks is not low, but there has been very little improvement.

If nothing else, floppy disks will not change much in the next few years.

But how far will optical disk storage develop in a few years?

When Robert recognized the problem, he had already made up his mind that IBM must participate in the storage technology revolution.

Just ask Mr. Hongchuan if he is a qualified leader. He will definitely understand what Hongchuan means with the help of IBM.

As for the U.S. headquarters, Robert decided to go back now and try his best to convince them, so as not to miss the opportunity.

Seeing another visitor leaving early, Hongchuan Kaede felt a little flustered for Ichiro Watanabe who was present.

The briefing session was not over yet, and the guests left early, so the stocks were hard to sell.

Of course, is that a joke? Real potential customers have already been in secret contact with First Bank and the others.
