It was a call from the Sony headquarters in Xia Guo, and Tian Zhongzhong was still unhappy.
Tanaka said to a friend: "Xia Guo's factory business is really annoying. Those people (Xia Guo workers) never use their brains when doing things, and they don't know what went wrong, otherwise they wouldn't call me so late."
Tanaka Shiro reluctantly answered the phone.
The caller was Murakami, the general manager of Sony Xia Corporation.
Murakami quickly told Tanaka about the Changtian Technology press conference just now.
But when Murakami tried his best to describe the content of Changtian Technology's carbon crystal storage press conference in his own words.
Tanaka still looked confused. He said to Murakami in a very unhappy mood: "Did you drink at night? What's all the fuss about? You said Changtian Technology released a new storage method?"
Murakami quickly organized his language again and repeated the production situation of the press conference.
After hearing this, Tanaka had an exaggerated expression on his face.
"Are you kidding? Changtian Technology has developed a new storage method. I'm afraid you have been deceived by the Xia people."
In the impression of Japanese people, most Xia people are full of lies and dishonesty.
Unexpectedly, Murakami said anxiously: "Is the product released at the press conference a lie to deceive the industry? I have sent people to Jiangzhou to purchase some carbon crystal storage from Changtian Technology early tomorrow morning."
"After all, at the press conference just now, Yangtze Technology did demonstrate the read and write speed of carbon crystal storage to all media. All demonstration sessions were under the lens of reporters, and the possibility of cheating was extremely low."
Even though Murakami's tone was very serious, Tanaka Shiro still did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
He comforted and said: "Relax Murakami, you can take the Shanghai flight back tomorrow afternoon. You will have a very wonderful holiday."
Murakami laughed roguely and said: "Yes, I will definitely bring back the carbon crystal storage."
Compared with Shiro Tanaka, who was not aware of the seriousness of the problem at all, Deng Yun had already seen the news about Changtian Technology's product launch released by Xinlangsuhu and other online media.
Carbon crystal storage, both in terms of read and write speed and capacity, far exceeds current flash memory.
If this product can really come out, even if the price is slightly more expensive than flash memory, the living space of flash memory will be extremely squeezed.
Deng Yun was so cold that he broke into a cold sweat.
Xinlang Technology is the news department newly established by Xinlang Company in the past two years. Its reports are very professional and of high quality.
Since Xinlang Technology has already reported it, Deng Yun feels that Wang Zhi's call to inform the press conference should be true.
Now he looks back and thinks about the lawsuit between Netac and Changtian Technology. He feels like an idiot and is being played around by Changtian Technology.
Changtian Technology had already gained confidence before filing the lawsuit, and they seemed to be teasingly waiting for Netac's reaction.
Being put aside by Changtian Technology, this is not the most important thing.
Are you actually a clown?
What Deng Yun is most worried about right now is that if carbon crystal storage can be mass-produced and launched on a large scale in the future, Netac will really be doomed.
Netac's current market value reaches hundreds of millions of RMB and its annual profits reach tens of millions.
But its profitability is very limited.
40% of the profits come from producing and selling USB flash drives, and 60% come from charging flash memory patents to the world.
At this time, Changtian Technology announced that carbon crystal storage is as good as seven inches.
With carbon crystal storage, who would buy a USB flash drive?
If no one buys U disks anymore, who will produce U disks?
If no one produces USB flash drives, where will Netac collect patent fees?
At this time, Deng Yun's wife called.
"Husband, you are going to my house tomorrow night for a New Year reunion. Can you come back on time?"
Deng Yun's hometown is not in Shenzhen. He booked a flight to his hometown half a month ago.
But after this incident, Deng Yun did not dare to go back.
Deng Yun said very impatiently: "There is something going on in the company, so I won't be able to come tomorrow."
Deng Yun's wife was worried, "Why can't you come back? You didn't come back last year for the New Year, and you won't come back this year! I already told my parents, what's the point of living like this with me?!"
Originally, Changtian Technology had put tremendous pressure on Deng Yun, but now that his wife is noisy, Deng Yun is even more annoyed.
"Okay, okay, I still have something to do here, so don't call me!"
Deng Yun hung up the phone upset and wanted to call Wang Zhi immediately.
Wang Zhi has just returned to the hotel and is writing a report on today's press conference. He has just called a friend at the airport and asked him to help him book a flight to Shenzhen for tomorrow.
At this time he received a call from Deng Yun.
Deng Yun asked Wang Zhi to go to Jiangzhou Guomei Mall early tomorrow morning and buy carbon crystal storage such as Changtian Technology no matter what.
Media reports are reports, and Deng Yun still has to get the actual product and study it carefully before he can draw a conclusion.
And from beginning to end, Deng Yun still believed that how could Yangtze Technology develop storage technology that was different from flash memory chips? Can such a difficult technological problem be solved by a third-rate technology company?
For this reason, Deng Yun even called the person in charge of Shenzhen Gomei, hoping that Shenzhen City could say hello to Jiangzhou and directly sell carbon crystal storage to Wang Zhi.
But a few days ago, Langco used legal judgments and intimidation to put pressure on Gome.
Mr. Zhou, the person in charge of Shenzhen City Gome, agreed with a smile on the phone. In fact, as soon as the phone was hung up, he directly cursed: "What a hello! Didn't you think about the attitude you used to put pressure on us a few days ago?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head, put down his cell phone, and ignored Deng Yun's words.
It was less than 7 o'clock the next morning.
It's still dark in Jiangzhou City, and the leaves of the trees along the roadside are covered with white frost.
After winter begins in Jiangzhou, the weather is very cold.
When people walk outside, it feels like their clothes are all wet and they won't stay warm no matter what they wear.
Outside Jiangzhou Gomei Mall, at least twenty or thirty people have lined up in a long queue.
People who don't know the truth may think that Gome is going to hold a queue to deliver eggs today.
Many elderly people who were doing morning exercises passed by here and quickly followed the young people in the queue. They also curiously asked: "Do the young people want to give eggs here?"
The young man in line was speechless, "Mother-in-law, we are here to buy things. We don't give eggs here."
When they heard that it would cost money, the elderly people left very unhappy.
The young people who queued up today are not ordinary consumers. Most of them are media reporters or staff of technology companies.
They purchased the carbon crystal storage for one purpose only, to take it back and test its performance.
Employees from Sony and Wang Zhi from Netac were also queuing up.
Especially Wang Zhi, he never imagined that he would be sitting in this position and still have to get up early to queue up to buy something.
This feeling is indeed very depressing!
At ten past eight, Gome opens the door.
Even though Gome employees had been notified by their manager to get vaccinated last night, they did not expect that so many people would come and line up in the morning.
Reporters saw the final selling price of carbon crystal storage.
Currently, there is only one model of carbon crystal storage sold in Gome.
It is the 512 MB that Wang Xiang demonstrated at the press conference.
This also dispelled the doubts of reporters. After all, many companies talk about one kind of performance in front of reporters, but actually bring another kind of performance to the market.
Changtian Technology held a press conference yesterday and rushed to sell physical products today. This is indeed very confident.
As Wang Xiang said at the press conference, the quantity of the first batch of goods is indeed small, only 20 in total.
What about the selling price?
Gome’s price tag is 499 yuan.
A USB flash drive actually sold for 499 yuan, which is incredible after more than 10 or 20 years.
After more than 10 years, 16G or even 64G USB flash drives can be produced, and the price is only a few dozen yuan.
But in this era, when a 128 MB USB flash drive can be sold for more than 200 yuan, a 256 MB USB flash drive is almost invisible on the market, and it is very normal to buy a 512 MB USB flash drive for 499 yuan, and you may even feel it.
Cheap.
Of course, Changtian Technology cannot keep its USB flash drives at such a high price forever.
Chen Xiao will re-set the selling price as the market changes.
But now that you have the opportunity to make a fortune, why not?
A very small amount of carbon crystal storage is for sale, and this time it is inevitable for everyone to compete for it.
Some reporters who had already confirmed their purchases were still paying for their items, but their items were snatched away by customers who had already paid for them.
This time the two got into a quarrel, but fortunately the clerk maintained order in time.
The employees of Sony and Wang Zhi of Netac are all very lucky.
They were lucky enough to grab a 512M piece of carbon crystal storage.
The two eagerly took the carbon crystal storage back to Japan and Shenzhen respectively, and sent it to their own laboratories for detailed research.
Reporters from "Computer Enthusiast" and Xinlang and other media also purchased a piece of carbon crystal storage.
They will return to the editorial office immediately to test carbon crystal storage in their own way.
On the contrary, Chen Xiao was leisurely holding a year-end summary meeting for employees at the Yangtze Technology Headquarters.
Before the Spring Festival, Chen Xiao decided to give a one-time New Year's bonus to Yangtze Technology's employees, including those in the field.
Changtian Technology was just established in 2000, and the company has recently been developing new technologies and launching new products, so cash is relatively tight.
However, under this background, Chen Xiao still gave each senior executive (Zhou Linghua, Wang Xiang, Gao Miao, Sun Dong) 5,000 yuan, mid-level staff 3,000 yuan, technical employees 2,000 yuan, and ordinary employees 1,000 yuan.
, a New Year subsidy of 500 yuan for assembly line workers in each factory.
This amount of money is not much for Chen Xiao, but it is very heart-warming.
Especially those workers on the front line of the factory. They may have worked in the factory for decades. During the Chinese New Year, they at most get some rice and rapeseed oil as consolation gifts, but they have never received any New Year money.
For ordinary employees, 1,000 yuan is higher than the monthly salary of employees in many companies, and everyone is very satisfied.
Chen Xiao said at the staff meeting: "Changtian Technology treats every employee as its own family. Next year we will formulate a detailed bonus payment mechanism based on the company's performance. As long as everyone is willing to work hard, the bonus may be higher than the annual bonus."
The salary is even higher!”
As soon as this was said, everyone was extremely excited!
At this time, the secretary whispered in Wang Xiang's ear: "Mr. Wang, Minister Wang from Netac went to queue early this morning and bought a carbon crystal storage USB flash drive."
Wang Xiang couldn't help but cover his mouth and said with a smile: "It's hard for Langke to have a good Spring Festival now."
