Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 869 - Looking at the future
USB or USB flash drive is a type of digitalstorage device which is widely popular in the future, and it doesn"t requireany power source to hold the data. The storage is also bigger, and the userjust needs to plug it into the PC or laptop.
The USB is only one of the uses of a flashdrive and currently, the primary uses of the flash drive are for memory cardsused in Digital cameras.
Dong Xuebing had informed Lenovo to installat least a USB port in all their future PCs. USB ports will be commonly usedfor USB drives, portable hard disk, mouse, keyboards, speakers, etc.
But now, only a few PCs have a USB port,and Liu Chuanzhi was puzzled why Dong Xuebing gave this instruction. He feltthis technology is not mature and there are few uses for it now. Adding USBports in their PCs will also not be a selling point, and their cost will beincreased.
Feng Yu told Liu Chuanzhi about his idea ofa USB flash drive, and this flash drive will be invented soon. In the future,Aiwa Electronics and Wind and Rain Electronics will be pushing USB drives andUSB ports in PCs will be a necessity.
In Feng Yu"s previous life, USB portsappeared on PCs after 1998, but it was not a standard feature. It was onlyafter 2 years, it becomes a stand feature of all PCs, but the port was locatedat the back of the CPU. It was until after 2005, USB ports were installed atthe front of the CPU, and laptops start to have more than 1 USB port.
It was about the same time when PS/2 portmouse and PS/2 port keyboards start to become obsolete. A few more years later,PS/2 port totally disappears and all mouse and keyboards switch to USB ports.
The USB ports also upgrade from 1.0 to 3.0,and the speed kept increasing. USB drive and USB ports were both upgraded overthe years.
Heitaro Nakajima did not know about FengYu"s plans and got his men to organize and send all the related doc.u.ments toFeng Yu.
Heitaro Nakajima was still dreaming abouthis portable MP3 player, and he even partic.i.p.ates in the development andtesting. This is AIWA"s opportunity to stand on top of the world and he doesnot want to miss it.
Manager Feng had said if this big MP3player"s size can be reduced by half, he will use his connections to start aglobal marketing campaign and let AIWA become the top electronics manufacturerin the world!
AIWA will be ahead of all its compet.i.tors,and Heitaro Nakajima might even be rewarded with shares after the company islisted!
In Feng Yu"s previous life, the marketreacted poorly when MP3 and USB drive are newly launched. But within a year,these two products quickly become popular.
Small companies were no match to the bigboys in these two industries, and the technologies involved are notcomplicated, and others can imitate it easily. Even when the technologies werepatented, they can be easily replaced.
But the first company to produce theseproducts will be written in history, and it is beneficial to the company"sreputation.
It is crucial to stay in the lead in thetechnological sector, and in the future, the company can claim that they werethe ones who started this industry, and the other companies were just followingthe trend!
At night, Feng Yu was having seafood with HeitaroNakajima when he received a call from Kameda Masao. Kameda Masao was in Europeto supervise the construction of a new factory and an acquisition of amagazine. But when he heard Feng Yu was in j.a.pan, he immediately flew back.
Kameda Masao rushed over to meet Feng Yuthe moment he landed.
Heitaro Nakajima and Kameda Masao aredifferent, and their companies were in two different sectors. But in terms ofpersonal abilities, Feng Yu felt Kameda Masao is better than Heitaro Nakajima.
AIWA could get a share of the Chinesemarket and the European market, beat Sony, and become the leader in the Walkmanindustry, was mainly because of Feng Yu"s help in their new products. FuGuangzheng"s distribution channels also played a part.
But Kameda Masao is different. Feng Yu onlygave him a few suggestions, and Kameda Masao did the rest. He came up with newinventions with his creativity and increased the Sixth Sense Company"s sales.He was also the one who set up the sales distribution channels without anyhelp. After the company was listed, the company become the first company in itsindustry to be listed.
Oh… This is remarkable!
Kameda Masao entered the private diningroom and start eating.
Heitaro Nakajima was slightly p.i.s.sed withKameda Masao. He also could not explain his feelings as both companies aretotally different and do not have any dealings with each other. But HeitaroNakajima felt Manager Feng seems to be closer to Kameda Masao and felt unhappy.
Heitaro Nakajima felt Feng Yu was biasedtowards Kameda Masao as he allowed the Sixth Sense Company to be listed, andasked AIWA to wait. Kameda Masao was a n.o.body in the past, and he is on thesame level as him. Maybe in another two years, Kameda Masao might be above him!
"Kameda Masao, you have never eaten in yourlife?" Heitaro Nakajima said sarcastically. This person does not have anyetiquette at all!
Kameda Masao looked at Feng Yu and put downhis chopsticks, before turning to Heitaro Nakajima. "Heitaro Nakajima, this isthe dinner you prepare for Boss? It"s too ordinary!"
Kameda Masao always addresses Feng Yu asBoss, and Heitaro Nakajima calls Feng Yu as Manager Feng. Also, since the dayKameda Masao met Feng Yu, he had been bootlicking him, and Heitaro Nakajima hadnever done this. Maybe this was why Feng Yu felt Kameda Masao is more capable.
"This is Tokyo"s best seafood restaurant.What"s the problem?!" Heitaro Nakajima retorted.
"Seafood restaurant? What"s so specialabout this? Look at how the food is served here!" Kameda Masao turns to FengYu. "Boss, I know a "special" restaurant that is different from all otherrestaurants!"
Special restaurant? Feng Yu was curious.What"s better than seafood in j.a.pan? The rest of the food here is nothingspecial.
Wait! The plates? Kameda Masao had a lewdexpression on his face. Could it be that legendary way of serving food?
Gulped…
Feng Yu swallowed his saliva. Thissuggestion is really tempting, and it is good to experience. But Feng Yu willnot dare to eat the food presented.
Such places are more suitable for Kirilenko,Fu Guangzheng, and Li Zekai. They would love to experience it.
"Kameda, I am going back tomorrow. Why didyou rush back so urgently?"
"No. I know Boss is coming to j.a.pan, and Irushed back, as I am afraid some people are not good hosts." Kameda Masao said.
"Thank you. When I bring some friends overon my next visit, you can bring us around." Feng Yu does not want to see KamedaMasao and Heitaro Nakajima fighting for his attention.
"Ok. Oh, I had bought a magazine in Europe,and we plan to set up a branch in the US."
The magazine bought by the Sixth SenseCompany should be that kind of magazine. It seems like there"s no return forKameda Masao"s path to be the King of the p.o.r.n industry!
"Remember what I told you. Don"t look atthe short-term profits. If you want the company to progress, you must look atthe future."
"Thank you for your wise words."
Heitaro Nakajima frowned. Kameda Masao, youare also one of the shareholders of the Sixth Sense Company. Do you really needto stoop so low? But Heitaro Nakajima suddenly realized that maybe this is thereason why Manager Feng thinks more highly of Kameda Masao.
Look at the way Kameda Mas...o...b..otlicks! Hehas no backbone at all!
Heitaro Nakajima thought for a while andsaid with a brownnoser expression. "Boss, if you are interested in those place,I do have some good recommendation.|
