Chapter 855 The prototype of the “Lamp Factory”

Author: Khurav

"When there is no agreement on the degree, procrastination is a good way! It will not offend us, the United States, but also buy time to respond."

"They've offended us! I hate this inefficient meeting!"

After complaining angrily, Treasury Secretary Reagan's dissatisfaction was palpable.

"Based on your actual feelings, do you think there may be a breakthrough in the six Japanese banks?"

"There shouldn't be much hope. Compared with the Ministry of Finance, we have to worry about people's livelihood and the economy. These banks have their own interests in front of them. Not necessarily. The situation of these banks in Japan is quite special. Behind each bank are several banks.

, and even dozens of well-known production companies."

"Japan's six major banks are better said to be Japan's six major economic groups. These six groups determine the lifeline of Japan's economy, and the foundation of the economy is production! They are not banks. So in this case, it is difficult for us to start from the banking aspect.

Find a breakthrough”

The appreciation of the yen is actually a good thing for banks. It is conducive to foreign investment and expansion of overseas assets; it is also conducive to banks through exchange difference arbitrage

But compared with the profits of one bank, several manufacturing companies are still losing money in the "home base" where these consortiums started. For the consortiums, this is no less than abandoning the car to save the pawn.

Even in Japan's economic model, Carter saw a familiar feeling

Iron Bastard!

Just like the economic ecology I created in Douglas and similar iron bastards!

If banks lose money, they will lose money. As long as other industries are profitable, it is enough! And as long as the profitability of other industries is strong enough, the huge cash flow they bring will also cause banks to have an obvious book loss, but the scale will become larger and larger.

strange situation.

In addition to this, the relationship between Japanese companies and the Japanese government is a bit like the relationship between himself and the Douglas city government. As Douglas's economic pillar, Benjamin almost has to consult his own opinions and seek his cooperation for any action he makes.

The extremely similar development models and trajectories make it easy for Carter to assume the role of Japanese consortiums and consider issues.

As long as the advantages of Japan's manufacturing industry are maintained, a trade surplus can be created. The trade surplus will bring a large amount of structural surplus, and this part of the surplus will be put on the market. It can promote the movement of the entire economic system, and this movement can also

Give back to banks, give back to manufacturing companies.

Which one is more important is clear at a glance!

"Where's Quanye Bank? As far as I know, they are a semi-official bank, maybe. Forget it, I already know what to do!"

As the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Reagan naturally knew Japan's economic model.

The highly integrated and deeply bundled economic model between government and enterprises has almost tied everyone into the same boat. With mutual interests shared, no one is likely to betray.

It is basically impossible to find opportunities from within Japan.

"Well, we believe you, Mr. Reagan."

"No, you should believe in the United States, the powerful United States! Well, there are still 20 days until the next meeting. During this time, you should go back to class."

Making up lessons, taking classes, and communicating with Gaushar from Vision Capital about the preparation progress of the ROG Computer Manufacturing Company in Douglas became Carter's daily routine for the next half month.

After nearly half a year of preparation, ROG Computer Company has completed the finalization of the model.

Following the gameplay of a certain "leather-clad swordsman", Carter divided ROG's product line into five grades: high-end customization, flagship, high-end, mid-range, and functional.

In addition to the high-end models, an optional list is provided in the store for customers to order. There are four mass-produced machine grades. The flagship machine uses Intel's 80286 processor, which was launched in 1982. Compared with the previous generation of Intel's flagship CPU 8086, 80286 not only

The number of transistors has increased from 29,000 in 8086 to 134,000. In terms of clock frequency, addressable memory size, etc., there have been several times improvements

Of course, while lamenting the rapid development of computer technology, the purchase cost of this thing has also doubled. It is equipped with the self-developed ROG Flagship 1st generation motherboard and Fujitsu's exaggeratedly large memory.

This computer is a performance monster among consumer computer products on the market today!

At a time when the general storage size is only 5MB, and the processor is still a castrated version of 8086 and 8088, the IBM XT occupies the main force in the US computer consumer market. The ROG TOP has a storage size of nearly 100 MB, is equipped with an 80286 chip, and is equipped with a new operating system, Windows 1.0.

It is destined to be a model product that is put on the shelf!

The biggest role is to highlight the production and research capabilities of ROG Computer Manufacturing Company, nothing more!

The price is as high as 36,000 U.S. dollars. Even if it packs a lot of software, it is still not something that ordinary people can care about. With this kind of money, if you really need computing power, you might as well add a little money and go directly to the mainframe.

But don’t say it yet!

When the first-generation ROG TOP was delivered to the ROG official store in Red Hat Building, it was completely different from the common ones on the market, which only had monotonous black and white colors, and a chassis shape with rounded edges as sharp as a blade.

Paired with the cool color scheme of red and black, the fully transparent glass side panels, and the interior of the glass are flashing with a faint red light.

After the eye-pupil logo gradually became accustomed to passers-by, a new wave of onlookers appeared!

The ROG TOP lying on the red velvet doily quickly became a new topic of conversation among passers-by.

Looking at the photos sent from New York, Carter was quite satisfied. The iconic features of ROG computers have appeared! Although the light pollution is tacky, it is really easy to use and it is the best tool to seduce people to buy it!

Speaking of RGB light strips and the production of their light effects, this is even more of an unexpected surprise!

RGB light strip, to put it bluntly, is a programmable LED light strip. Originally, Carter thought that the technology at this time would not be able to make this thing. As a result, not only can it be made, but it has even been made long ago!

When the Tokyo Club was being built, the Fujitsu engineers who were hired by Carter to make LED lighting controllers, after returning to the company, began the work of miniaturizing the large controller at the request of Michio Yasuda. Gein

Michio Yasuda felt that the console behind the dance floor was too complicated, and the bar nightclub was an industry with extremely high turnover of personnel.

This led to Michio Yasuda being very embarrassed every time he saw the lighting engineer resigning. Of course, compared to this rhetoric, Carter was more willing to believe that this guy just didn’t want to spend more money on these people. Simplifying the operating procedures means that the job is more efficient.

Easily replaced, followed by lower labor costs.

In any case, without considering the change of the control light effect, just add a fixed light effect program or the simplest (255.0.0) red single-channel light command to the small controller, load it into the computer, and then

Get an LED light strip, connect an external power cord to power it, and a cool light effect surrounding the entire chassis will appear!

And this also pointed out to Carter the way forward for ROG in the next step!

"In the development of the next generation flagship motherboard, we must find a way to integrate this light effect controller. Embed it directly into the motherboard! I am already looking for someone to develop the light effect control software! I need the next generation ROG TOP to be developed by
