Ge Jiande talked all about clichés on the stage. Zhang Ke was impatient when he heard this and planned to withdraw from the venue with Zhai Danqing.

Huaxia Electronics chose to hold the founding conference at Beijing Oriental Cultural Hotel, and Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing walked to the hotel lobby to leave.

"Mr. Zhang?"

Standing in the hall, uncertain questions came from behind.

Zhang Ke was not sure if he was calling him, so he looked back and saw a young man about thirty-three or four years old looking over, looking at him with a look that he seemed to be looking for him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. He was an RB person, with a typical RB person's appearance and was too serious and humble.

"Are you calling me?" Zhang Ke turned around and asked in confusion.

"Ah, I am Yamamoto of Toshiba," Kenji Yamamoto took out his business card and handed it over. "Myama-kun from the Audio-Visual Department mentioned Mr. Zhang, you didn't expect to meet you unexpectedly here..."

"Oh, it's Yamamoto Vice President," Zhang Ke put away his business card and reached out to shake hands with Kenji Yamamoto, vice president of Toshiba Company in China. "It's a big surprise. I didn't expect to meet you, Yamamoto Vice President, here. Last time I heard Moriyama mention you, and I plan to go back to the country to visit you. I made many things apart and I haven't taken time..."

Zhai Danqing knew that Zhang Ke was saying this for ghosts, and she had never heard Zhang Ke mention the name Kenji Yamamoto before.

"Myama-kun arrived in Beijing last night. I believe he had contacted your company's office in Beijing today. I didn't expect that I would meet Mr. Zhang first..." Kenji Yamamoto said, "It is convenient to inform Mr. Zhang that I met you here?"

"Did Mr. Moriyama come to China to contact Kumho?" Zhang Ke asked.

"It seems like this, I can't be sure..." said Kenji Yamamoto.

"Since that's the case, I have to do my best to be a landlord during my time in Beijing. I also have to ask Vice President Yamamoto to contact Moriyama-kun..."

Kenji Yamamoto retreated aside and took out his cell phone to contact Toshiba's Assistant Minister of Audiovisual Affairs Moriyamano.

Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing walked to the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby and sat down, and whispered to Zhai Danqing: "I thought Toshiba had forgotten this..."

Zhai Danqing knew that Zhang Ke was talking about an audio player, or to be precise, a DMP digital audio player.

After Toshiba Audiovisual Product Affairs Minister Katsuki and Assistant Moriyamano visited Aida's subsidiary company by RB media, in order to avoid the questioning of RB colleagues, especially under pressure from the Mitsui Zaiba, Toshiba issued a statement of avoidance and negotiations with Kumho on the technical authorization of DMP digital audio player were suspended.

Two months have passed, and Toshiba has not had any contact on this matter, and he thought that Toshiba had completely given up its efforts to obtain DMP playback technology.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang," Yamamoto Kenji liked to speak in honorific words, walked over to Moriyamano on the phone and said, "Moriyama-kun is on his way to your company's Beijing office. He asked me to ask you if he has the opportunity to come here to visit you?"

Zhang Ke came to Beijing this time to find out the trends of the central government's senior management in the development of the information industry. Apart from meeting Xu Xueping yesterday and meeting Yi Yunfei in the morning, there was no other arrangement.

With the cooperation with Toshiba, the flash memory technology in Toshiba has been greedy for a long time. Since I am in Beijing, it doesn’t matter if I have contacted Moriyamano in person.

Zhang Ke nodded and agreed. Kenji Yamamoto retreated to the side and spoke with Moriyamano on the phone. Zhang Ke asked Zhai Danqing to call Zhou Yiping, the head of the Beijing branch, to ask him to come over. After all, formal negotiations are to be started, and there must be people in Kumho who are equal to Moriyamano in charge of related matters.

Zhang Ke and Kenji Yamamoto sat in the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby waiting for Moriyamano to come. At this time, the press conference in the lobby north of the lobby ended, and media reporters left one after another. The guests who participated in the founding conference of Huaxia Electronics were also preparing for them to have a sumptuous dinner at the hotel.

Lee Jae-soo and his assistant Kim Nam-yong walked to the lobby to breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Toshiba's Kenji Yamamoto and Zhang Ke sitting together and having an intimate conversation, he was slightly frightened. Seeing Kenji Yamamoto stand up and greet him eagerly, but he was inconvenient to turn his head and leave, he had to bite the bullet and walk over to Kim Nam-yong.

"Yamamoto-kun knows Zhang Jun from Kumho?"

"Moriyama once told me that Mr. Zhang is a godfather-like figure in China's consumer electronics industry. How could I not know him?" Kenji Yamamoto said jokingly.

Zhang Ke looked at Li Jae-soo, a specialist at HG Samsung in China. He didn't know what association he would have when he saw him standing with Kenji Yamamoto, who was from Toshiba in China.

Lee Jae-soo's face was very calm, but his heart was very uneasy.

Someone in Samsung Electronics has proposed similar ideas. Due to the Asian financial crisis, the ideas were not valued. After Li Zai-soo saw that Kumho wanted to actively promote the development of related technologies after acquiring an online music store in Japan, he found that the combination of flash memory technology and digital audio application technology had almost thoroughly studied Kumho. This was the patent situation before 18 months that had been published. As for Kumho, even in flash memory control chip technology and embedded type

There are several major breakthroughs in flash drive chip technology, but it is not possible to know the specific details. You should know that Toshiba spent a lot of effort to develop reliable flash control chip technology in 1997. The product that originally only required Samsung to invest three to five months to develop, if it was to bypass Kumho's patent, the same manpower might not be successful even if it took ten times more time. Li Jae-soo was sure that Kumho had been preparing for DMP technology for a long time. How could he calm down when he saw Zhang Ke again?

This epoch-making consumer electronics product is likely to promote flash memory technology globally, greatly promoting the process of large-scale commercial application of flash memory technology. However, in the past three months, Kumho has produced DMP products including IPlayer and has not purchased any flash memory products from Samsung.

Currently, only Samsung, Toshiba and Intel have non-volatile flash memory technology. Since Intel has focused on the development of processor technology in the past decade, it has insufficient investment in the research and development of flash memory technology. At present, the flash memory technology of Samsung and Toshiba is still more advanced.

In 1998, the storage of flash memory technology is easily extremely limited and expensive. In addition to seeing market prospects in portable electronic products, its applications in other fields are extremely limited; all DMP player products, including IPlayer, are the first large-scale commercial application of flash memory technology.

The existing DMP products on the market still use Toshiba's flash memory products. DMP has just been launched at this time. If DMP is popular, Kumho will decide who can gain a decisive advantage in the early stage of flash memory technology gaining large-scale commercial applications.

Although he has always looked down on Kumho, at this time, Lee Jae-soo had to admit that Kumho was in his hands that made Samsung worried about gains and losses.

Since Kumho's audio-visual business and DMP player products produced for other electronic manufacturers all use Toshiba's flash memory technology, seeing Zhang Ke and Toshiba's vice president Kenji Yamamoto, Li Jae-soo was not particularly surprised. When he saw Moriyamano from Toshiba's audio-visual affairs department walk into the hall and walk towards them, he remembered that the rumors that Toshiba was interested in purchasing DMP product technology from Kumho were not groundless. Toshiba's addition will allow DMP technology to be promoted more quickly around the world. Toshiba will naturally also tend to promote their flash memory technology?

Lee Jae-soo's face showed a look of worry.

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhang's style for two months after the separation in Tokyo," Moriyamano did not pass through the translation of Kenji Yamamoto, but greeted Zhang Ke directly in Japanese, and nodded to Lee Jae-soo, "Li Jun is also here..." Seeing the banner celebrating the establishment of Huaxia Electronics hanging in the hotel lobby, he suddenly said, "Li Jun is here to attend the establishment of Huaxia Electronics."

In order to use Samsung to threaten Toshiba, Zhang Ke didn't want Moriyamano and Kenji Yamamoto to see that he had a deep personal grudge with Lee Jae-soo.

"It's rare that I met you in Beijing. Can I let me be the best of my landlords?" Zhang Ke also invited Lee Jae-soo and Kim Nam-yong, as if he had completely forgotten that he had slapped Lee Jae-soo in the face and slapped Kim Nam-yong with hot tea half a year ago.

Lee Jae-soo's face was unhesitant, but Kim Nam-yong knew tolerate it. When others could not notice it, he gently pulled Lee Jae-soo's sleeves. For the benefit of Samsung, personal grudges were nothing. Instead of ignorantly speculating about the relationship between Kumho and Toshiba afterwards, it would be better to bear this tone and follow it up and observe the words and expressions to see more.

In fact, Moriyamano saw Zhang Ke and Li Xinyu walking very closely at the Tokyo Electronics Exhibition, and even thought that Kumho had a good relationship with Samsung. Zhang Ke invited Li Jae-soo to the night banquet together, so he naturally could not express any opinions.

After Zhou Yiping, the head of the Beijing branch, arrived, Zhang Ke invited Moriyamano, Yamamoto Kenji, Lee Jae-soo, Kim Nanyong and others to leave Huaxia Electronics and drove to the nearby Wangfujing Hotel for dinner.

At the same time, the night banquet for the founding conference of China Electronics was also being prepared. Ge Jiande was eager to greet the guests with prominent identities, especially those representatives of overseas electronic manufacturers' institutions in China. Suddenly someone came over to tell him: "The guests of Samsung and Toshiba retreated and left..."

"Why?" Ge Jiande and Sony's president of China, Keiichi Watanabe, were standing together to greet each other, and asked subconsciously.

"Zhi Ping of Ida Electronics just arrived, and representatives from Samsung and Toshiba followed Zhou Gongping to leave the hotel..." The man did not know Zhang Ke, but knew Zhou Gongping, who represented Kumho in Beijing's public relations and handled various affairs.

Ge Jiande's face turned gloomy. At the launching party of Huaxia Electronics, people from Jinhu came over and pulled away the guests he attached great importance to for no reason. He really wouldn't have a good mood.
