Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Shirakawa Electric's mid-year advertisement sparked heated discussions throughout Tokyo. Clubs with overlapping businesses paid attention to his products, and companies without overlapping businesses paid attention to his subsequent listing announcement.

In order for a company to go public, in addition to the initial announcement, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.

For example, the initial public prospectus, briefing, listing rules, etc. will be announced in the next few days.

It's just that Shirakawa Electric is currently undergoing an external audit, and has not issued an announcement yet.

But the general time is within these two weeks, because the review by Deloitte and KPMG has come to an end.

As for the central figure of Shirakawa Electric that everyone is discussing, Bai Chuanfeng has not shown up in public at the moment, but drove to Chiba County in a low-key manner with people from within the group.

What to do here is still investing in building factories.

This time he was going to build a CD factory. As for the location, he chose Chiba County, which is across the sea from Tokyo.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, it has been a cluster of chemical and material industries.

Most of the raw materials and industrial upstream and downstream services can be found here, and the processing of optical discs also belongs to the chemical material industry.

So if you want to build a factory, Chiba is the best choice. It is separated from Tokyo by Tokyo Bay, and it is relatively convenient in terms of transportation.

As for why Bai Chuanfeng built an optical disc factory, it is also planning ahead for the future industry.

The laboratory at SIC has confirmed that CD-ROM will come out this year.

As the first industry standard that he participated in formulating, Bai Chuanfeng also attached great importance to it.

This kind of technology that will change the future storage pattern must of course be prepared in advance.

The format will be launched this year, so the CD-ROM disc must be officially put into production next year.

He can already imagine that in the future, the technology that SIC has concentrated on researching for more than two years will definitely become another money printing machine for Baichuan Electric.

And in addition to CD-ROM, the CD player that will be launched this year also needs a large number of records to support its distribution.

Next year, Shirakawa Electric's disc factory will also do external work, if a record company wants to release CD discs.

Well, it's ready-made here in Chiba. It's still close to Tokyo, so you can come over to check the progress of the pressing at any time.

Although the format of CD-ROM and CD-DA is different, 90% of the processing technology is the same, the difference is only the mold of the compression mold.

Therefore, after Shirakawa Electric's internal estimation, it is considered that building its own optical disc factory is a very necessary choice.

At this time, Bai Chuanfeng was negotiating with the government personnel in Chiba about the location of the factory, when suddenly Assistant Komatsu, who was accompanying him, came over in a hurry.

After apologizing to Governor Chiba beside him, Bai Chuanfeng walked aside alone, "What's wrong?"

"Michiyoshi Mazuka and Ryuji-san Tokita from Fujitsu just called. It seems that there is something very urgent."

Assistant Komatsu, who was in charge of answering the phone in the car, also looked serious at this time.

From the eager tone of the other party just now, it is not difficult to hear that there should indeed be something important.

Hearing that it was from Fujitsu, Bai Chuanfeng was taken aback.

Is there something wrong with your own chip? It shouldn't be, SIC8089 has been on the market for almost a year, and there are no major bugs.

But no matter what, it must have something to do with him, and Bai Chuanfeng also put on a serious expression.

"Do you know what it is? What did the other party say?"

"They refused to say anything specific, but they emphasized several times that they wanted to see you immediately."

It seemed that something was really going on, Bai Chuanfeng turned his head and glanced at Governor Chiba, who was still standing not far away, and sighed.

Forget it, I will visit you another day.

There was no other way, Bai Chuanfeng could only go over and explain the situation to the Governor of Chiba, and he left in a hurry.

However, the accompanying Nakajima Heitaro will still stay here, and he also has his own professional views on the construction of the CD factory.

The governor of Chiba also said very generously that it doesn't matter, the president who is about to go public, Sang, it's normal to be busy.

Saying goodbye to Chiba in a hurry, Kojima immediately drove back to Tokyo.

They didn't even enter the door of their own Shirakawa Electric, so they went straight to the Fujitsu headquarters in the port area.

Just arrived here, the staff who had been waiting for a long time immediately brought Bai Chuanfeng and the others to Mazuka Daoyi's office.

"Bai Chuan-san, you are here."

As soon as he entered the door, Mazuka Daoyi hurriedly greeted him.

"Mazuka-san, what's the matter, what's the matter in such a hurry?"

Bai Chuanfeng was very surprised to see Jianzuka Daoyi's face was pale and he was in a constant state of panic.

Not only him, but even Ryuji Tokita of the Electronics Division had the same expression.

The positions of these two people are above the ministerial level in Fujitsu, and they are real high-level officials.

But the current appearance really doesn't match their identities.

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng's question, Mazuka Moriyoshi immediately handed him the Yomiuri Shimbun on the table without hesitation.

Before he had time to ask in detail, Bai Chuanfeng looked down, and the thick and black news headlines were extremely conspicuous.

"IBM and the FBI arrested members of Hitachi and Mitsubishi, and the case of commercial espionage happened!"

Bai Chuanfeng took a deep breath, and in just one sentence, the amount of information was astonishing.

Not only the Yomiuri Shimbun, but also the Nikkei Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun in hand also have similar reports.

"Hitachi and Mitsubishi employees arrested for industrial espionage!"

"Smart Trap: Undercover FBI Uncovers Lead to 'Big Deal' Deal!"

The headlines became more sensational than the last, and not only that, the report also included pictures of the arrest.

A neon man in a tie and a shirt, with his hands behind his back and handcuffs, walks dejectedly ahead.

Behind him was a foreigner with one hand in his pocket, and the other hand leading the neon man in front of him as he turned a blind eye and walked out of the airport.

To be honest, this scene looks like the owner is teaching his disobedient dog a lesson.

Although he didn't read the content of the news report specifically, Bai Chuanfeng already knew roughly what happened.

Holding back his temper, he read the news in detail, and Bai Chuanfeng finally understood more detailed content.

The facts were exactly as he thought, this was indeed a case of industrial espionage, and it involved a lot of people.

In the United States, which is far away on the other side of the world, two officials of the capital government announced the details of the arrest of Hitachi and Mitsubishi employees two days ago.

The director of the FBI declared at the press conference, "This investigation is a good example. We must be vigilant against Neon's infiltration of our high-tech industry and theft of key secrets in all aspects."

However, two days had passed before Neon began to report on the incident on a large scale.

Various news outlets also explained in detail the insider details of the commercial espionage case between Hitachi, Mitsubishi and IBM.

In general, in order to obtain the technical information of the IBM mainframe 3081K, Hitachi's liaison officer in the United States secretly sought confidential information from former IBM employee Palin.

Palin, the former director of the computer systems laboratory of IBM, was surprised when he got the first ten volumes of the secret data of the 3081K model provided by Hitachi.

Although he has left IBM, he also knows that this is IBM's most confidential mainframe technical information, and the level of confidentiality is very high.

But at this moment Hitachi took the initiative to come to the door and asked if he could get the remaining seventeen volumes.

This made Palin realize that there was an amazing trade secret transaction.

Finally, after thinking twice, Palin ignored the huge compensation offered by Hitachi, but turned around and told his old boss IBM about the matter.

So a typical phishing law enforcement case, or the story of Infernal Affairs was staged.

After IBM got the information, it decisively contacted the FBI.

At this time, IBM had a lot of business cooperation with the US government, and almost all servers and computers in government departments were provided by IBM.

This includes the FBI and the FBI, so IBM has a very close relationship with the government.

In the face of the information provided by IBM, the FBI sent an agent to pretend to be IBM's technical consultant.

At the same time, the FBI asked Palin to pretend to agree to Hitachi's conditions, and introduced the Hitachi liaison to the FBI's pretended technical consultant.

Under the agent's ambiguous attitude, Hitachi's liaison officer flattered and promised various benefits.

In fact, the FBI already had enough evidence to arrest the Hitachi liaison at this time, because every meeting between them was secretly recorded and even videotaped.

But the FBI and IBM still wanted to catch bigger fish, so under the bewitchment of this fake technical consultant, the Hitachi liaison officer took him directly to Neon.

In the neon hotel, the director of the Hitachi Kanagawa Computer Factory personally received the counterfeit consultant.

So under the huge temptation of 500,000 US dollars, the counterfeit agent pretended to agree to Hitachi's request for the remaining 17 volumes of technical materials.

After returning to the United States, IBM and the FBI soon settled the situation and informed Hitachi's top management to come to the United States to take away the information in person.

So the stupid Hitachi really came to pick up the goods without any defense, but when he entered the door, he was pushed to the ground by several burly men.

At the same time, Mitsubishi's bureau was the same, and Mitsubishi's staff even took the materials to the airport to fly back to China immediately.

However, the FBI had already set up a net here, and the other party was caught as soon as he showed up.

And this commercial espionage case started last year, that is, in October 1981, and it was not officially closed until the end of June this year.

After more than half a year, Hitachi and Mitsubishi's commercial espionage crimes were completely branded with conclusive evidence through the method of obtaining all the stolen goods.

So far, this Infernal Affairs method of solving the case has been a great success.

The face of the neon company was once again lost in the United States.

Even more and more industrial and commercial capital is lobbying Congress to strengthen the technical monitoring of neon.

The specific results are unknown, but Neon seems to have dropped a depth bomb here.

Not to mention the major media, there are not a few people discussing it in the streets and alleys.

Bai Chuanfeng went out early this morning, so he didn't see any relevant news.

At this time, when I returned to Tokyo, I felt the turbulent undercurrent under the level of public opinion.

But the FBI is arresting people from Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric, why are you nervous at Fujitsu?

Suddenly Bai Chuanfeng's heart moved, he turned his head to look at Mazuka Daoyi, "Mazuka-san, Fujitsu won't do that either"

"Of course not!" Mazuka Moriyoshi and Tokita Ryuji jumped up at the same time.

"Shirakawa-san, Fujitsu has absolutely nothing to do with this matter! All of our technologies are developed internally, without borrowing from anyone else!"

The way Mazuka Daoyi swears makes people think that Bai Chuanfeng is interrogating him.

Uh, I just asked casually, is it necessary to be so nervous?

The more Fujitsu denied it here, the more Bai Chuanfeng muttered in his heart.

If it's really related to Fujitsu, it won't involve you here, right?

Mazuka Moriyoshi is also suffering, but the fact is that there is indeed a little relationship.
