Chapter 63: Strength is the foundation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An Teng Renping was reviewing documents one after another in his factory office, taking out his handkerchief every minute or two to wipe the sweat off his face.  The air conditioner in the room seemed to be broken, and it couldn't cool him down. He had to rely on a floor-standing fan blowing directly at him to relieve the heat in his heart.  How could this happen, how could this happen, why did Hong Kong manufacturers only focus on him, sued him in court for patent infringement, and filed a huge compensation demand of up to 240 million yen against him.  And the most incredible thing is that the court actually accepted it!  An Teng Renping and other small and medium-sized electronics business operators like him were extremely shocked and could not accept this result.  You know, in order to develop the electronics industry, our country has implemented a strict domestic protection system.  Japan¡¯s electronic development was already lagging behind that of Europe and the United States. It first earned its first pot of gold in the 1950s by providing logistical services to the U.S. military during the Korean War.  Then he began to develop light industries such as textiles, and then invested the capital accumulated over the years into the steel and metallurgical industry, and then into the automobile manufacturing industry.  Although it is said that with the support of the United States, various advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment can be purchased from all over the world, every time they invest, factory owners across Japan are terrified, fearing that the investment will fail.  By the mid-1960s, Japan once again turned its attention to electronics manufacturing.  Just like the previous industrial investments, domestic electronic manufacturing companies have implemented protective policies. Without policy protection, the weak competitiveness of nascent companies will simply not be able to compete with mature electronics manufacturers in Europe and the United States.  Any industrial development begins with imitation.  Of course, the word imitation is actually equivalent to plagiarism, but it sounds nicer to the outside world.  It was through plagiarism, no, imitation, that An Teng Renping gradually expanded from a small resistor manufacturing workshop to a regular electronics factory.  It then took another ten years to expand the scale of the factory to more than 500 workers now, and a new factory was built just last year.  There are more workers, equipment has been upgraded, and various hardware investments have used up all the savings over the years.  If you want to survive in the increasingly fierce competition, you need more sources of profits to support such a large family business.  Just when he was looking for investment direction, the "Space Invaders" arcade machine was launched.  When he went to the underground arcade opened by Taiyu Technology in Tokyo to inspect the project, he was simply shocked: hundreds of meters in the arcade, people were crowded together, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat.  , which put him off.  This whirlwind blew so fast. Within a month, "Space Invaders" was displayed in every bar, game hall, and billiard room in Tokyo.  Some reporters even reported that after interviewing and making statistics, "bars without "Space Invaders" had fewer customers."  Since then, he has made up his mind: pirate "Space Invaders"!  It¡¯s just a Hong Kong company. Even if it¡¯s pirated, what can they do to it?  And through various channels, he learned that many colleagues had made the same decision as him.  It is obviously a Japanese market, but a Hong Kong businessman actually wants to steal their cake. This is intolerable.  But when I actually started working on it, I discovered that this game is not easy to pirate.  The other party has added encryption key protection to the key chip that stores the game program.  Without the correct key, the programmer cannot read the contents of the chip at all. It will be locked as soon as it is read. Then the voltage of the chip will rise and the core data area will be burned out.  An Teng Renping asked factory technicians to try several times, but all failed, and the prototype machine he bought at a large price was scrapped in vain.  There was nothing he could do. He could only watch Taiyu Technology as if it were robbing money, making a lot of money in the Japanese market, salivating but helpless.  Just when he finally decided to give up and prepare to look for other projects, a turning point occurred. "Space Invaders" not produced by Taiyu Technology appeared on the market!  From the appearance, this arcade machine is almost identical to the original version. The game screen, settings, rules, and even the clearance mode are exactly the same!  There is nothing except the upper eyebrow frame where the Taiyu Technology logo was originally printed.  He was moved again. He asked around for connections, and finally found out that this was a large game manufacturer that copied the settings of "Space Invaders" and rewrote the game program itself. He was immediately excited.  Think about it, only large game manufacturers can afford this kind of investment.  Of course, because this is a Hong Kong company, some manufacturers dare to piracy despite the world's disapproval.  The "Pool" arcade machine produced by an American company last year also swept the Japanese market, but no company dared to pirate it.?¡ªIsn¡¯t this looking for death by taking food from Americans¡¯ mouths?  Through his connections, Iteng Renpei used 5 million yen to privately buy the source program from a program developer, and immediately worked overtime to produce it.  He moves quickly, and others are faster than him.  Just before his pirated machine came out, the market was already flooded with all kinds of pirated machines.  There are three major game manufacturers alone, and they all seem to develop themselves.  As for small and medium-sized electronics companies, the number is even greater and more complex, at least a hundred.  The pirated machines manufactured by the Andeng Nipei Factory were fine when they first came out, and the market price was basically 390,000 yen per unit.  But within a few days, new pirate manufacturers took price reduction measures in order to promote their machines, and the price was suddenly reduced to 380,000.  ?Following this, other merchants also began to lower their prices.  As more and more merchants enter the market, the price of pirated arcade machines has begun to plummet, approaching 330,000 yen.  Just when An Teng Renping was so angry that he suddenly received a court summons: his company was sued by Taiyu Technology!  He was at a loss at that time.  He was not the one who pirated the original software, nor was he the one who recompiled the program, nor was he the first to launch a pirated machine.  He was not the one with the largest scale, and he was not the one who cut prices first. Why, why did he only take him to court?  And, moreover, the court accepted it!  I am a domestic electronics manufacturer, and I am the one who should be protected. Is it wrong to go to such great lengths for a foreign company?  ¡­ ¡­ An Teng Renping was angry and fearful in his factory. Zhou Xiaoshan was also anxious and restless in the office of the general manager of Taiyu Technology.  "Darling, what are you doing? Why are you acting like a frightened kitten?" Pan Meifeng pushed the door open and saw him like this, covering her mouth and smiling.  The two have known each other for several months, and their relationship has heated up sharply under Pan Meifeng's flattery.  The Pan family is also a member of this newly established interest chain, and the two parties already have close interests.  Coupled with Pan Meifeng's personal relationship with Zhou Xiaoshan, she often visits Taiyu Technology, just like she does in her father's company.  "Did you read today's newspaper? Vietnam has accumulated heavy troops on the Cambodian border and is preparing to go to war. The situation between the two sides is very tense and there is a possibility of a big fight!" Zhou Xiaoshan threw out a copy of "Ming Pao" and frowned.  Wrinkle, walking around the office with a serious expression.  "So what? If they want to fight, just let them fight" Pan Meifeng said lightly, threw the Herm¨¨s bag in her hand on the sofa, walked over, and put her arms around Zhou Xiaoshan's waist.  Tenderly, he said, "Did you miss me today?" "What the hell!" In the past, when she acted like a coquettish person, Zhou Xiaoshan would hug her with a smile on his face, feeling tender and affectionate for a long time, but today he pushed her away irritably.  She said angrily: "Get out! I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me!" He has been the general manager for such a long time, and he has also developed a dignity, especially the masculinity of a man in the military, which sets off even more  out of his high status.  When he usually patrols the factory area, he can scare the workers with just one glare.  At this moment, he pushed Pan Meifeng away, and the other party did not dare to get angry on the spot. He was stunned for a while, and then said angrily: "Zhou Xiaoshan, what are you so crazy about? Who do you go to if you mess with me? What kind of man do you think you are when you are angry at a woman like me?"  "Get out!" Without saying a word, Zhou Xiaoshan pushed her to the door, opened the door, pushed her out, and then slammed the door hard and closed it.  Click!  Pan Meifeng angrily pushed the door open and entered.  "What are you doing here again?" Zhou Xiaoshan imitated Guan Fei and raised his eyebrows, ready to have an attack.  "I'll take the bag!" Pan Meifeng walked to the sofa with her high heels clack-clumping, picked up her bag and turned around to leave. When she left, she slammed the door hard to show her venting.  Zhou Xiaoshan turned a blind eye to the situation behind him and just stood blankly in front of the table, looking at the newspaper above.  When Guan Fei left, he was assigned two tasks.  The first task was to manage Taiyu Technology well. He felt that he had worked hard to do this and basically met Guan Fei's requirements.  Although sales in the Japanese market have declined recently, the Southeast Asian, European and American markets have been developed smoothly.  And Guan Fei has brought two new games, one is Lianliankan and the other is Bubble Bobble.  After the samples of these two games came out, he tried them both. Although they were not as fun as Space Invaders, they were still very good.  Especially Pan Meifeng, she couldn't put it down and was very fascinated by these two games. She said that this game was born for??Prepared for children, it will definitely be a hit.  Well, since there are two new games, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about poor sales this year.  The second task is to buy food.  The country now supports one thousand tons of rice for military divisions every month, which is enough to feed 50,000 people, so this task is no longer very urgent.  Although the military division gave the Northeast Military Region 70 tons and the headquarters 200 tons per month, there are still about 700 tons left.  "However, after the military subdivisions allowed everyone to eat freely, per capita food consumption reached one pound or three taels per day. This is because the educated youth students consumed less but in large quantities, which evened out the statistical base.  So this little food is roughly enough.  But the military subdivision also distributed grain as wages to the masses who came to participate in labor.  The food demand in this area is 40,000 to 50,000 jins per day, which is 20 to 25 tons, and the monthly demand for rice is 600 to 800 tons.  For this part of the gap, Zhou Xiaoshan needs to buy it from Hong Kong.  In the past, he always bought rice from Laos, but recently Vietnam has become more and more restless in Southeast Asia, and the military and political affairs of Laos have basically been controlled by it.  In May, Vietnam also sent a small group of troops into Cambodia, but was beaten back. Then it accumulated heavy troops at the border and was very ready to start a war.  Affected by this, the prices of Laos rice, Cambodian rice, and Thai rice have begun to fluctuate violently, and the supply has also been intermittent.  It¡¯s okay if the price goes up a bit, Taiyu Technology can afford it, but the lack of supply is very annoying.  Not only the military subdivisions need to eat rice, but Hong Kong residents also need to eat rice!  The violent fluctuations in the supply of rice set off a panic buying trend in Hong Kong. The panic buying trend also caused a shortage of rice supply, making it impossible for him to find a place to buy it.  It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t buy it at all, but you can only buy it in small quantities.  Seeing the opportunity, those profiteers hoarded and were reluctant to sell, hoping to wait until the price of food was high to make some dirty money.  Zhou Xiaoshan is irritable, and there is another reason that he cannot explain, that is why Vietnam wants to attack Cambodia!  Aren¡¯t we all in a socialist country? Why are we still using weapons?  The ideology of ideology is different. He understands that everyone is the hostile relationship that you die.  But why do we have to fight against each other if we have the same social system?  If this is the case, what¡¯s the point of exporting the revolution?  Just like the Vietnam War of Independence was won by us, we turned our backs and defected to the Soviet Union. In turn, we drove away the Chinese in Vietnam and fired at us at the border.  Rather than raising a white-eyed wolf, it¡¯s better to just take possession of them!  Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoshan felt angry from the bottom of his heart and punched the desk hard.  In the face of the facts, he completely accepted Guan Fei's point of view. Ideology is very important and is the prerequisite for all contradictions.  But this is only one aspect. Even among countries with the same ideology, the interests between countries are the fundamental core.  If you want to gain the respect of others and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, you can only become stronger yourself. There is no other way!
