Upon returning to his office, Xing Baohua notified the hardware department to prepare for the development of an electronic gyroscope.
Before he could finish speaking, the head of the hardware team asked, "Mr. Xing, do you want the intellectual property rights or a copy?"
"Is it already there?"
"It existed as early as 1981, and it was developed and used in automobiles. At that time, the price was between two thousand and seven thousand US dollars, which was equivalent to more than 19,000 to 50,000 yuan in China."
"Why is Honda doing this?" Xing Baohua asked curiously.
"Just as you thought, they developed a non-GPS function, but due to technical limitations, it couldn't be widely adopted. However, their electronic gyroscope does exist."
"Are they available on the market? We can take inspiration from them and upgrade the Honda gyroscope," Xing Baohua said.
"This needs to be purchased from the R-Honda headquarters because it's not available on the market. As for upgrades, there are technical barriers to this."
"It's alright, you just need to build the basics for me, I'll handle the rest." Xing Baohua was relieved this time; the electronic gyroscope was finally done.
In fact, many electronic components had already been developed, but Xing Baohua was not an omnipotent person. Without knowing this, he blindly made parts on his own.
I casually called Lao Sun, who uses π payment, and told him to go to Honda and ask for ten electronic gyroscopes, whether they are old models or the latest ones.
If necessary, Xing Baohua's name can be used.
The PB payment president wants a few small items from you, and you refuse to give them to him?
Look at what happened to Toyota and Nikon back then. It's not like they refused to pay, so why would they refuse?
Xing Baohua left behind many legends among the Japanese. If the Japanese refused to give him what he wanted, he could easily suppress them using financial market methods.
This guy is always trying to acquire other people's shares, and if he can't acquire those shares, he transfers them to the stock market to buy stocks. He always has a way of getting rid of you, unless you delist, then he won't get any profit.
Old Sun, acting as a representative, called Honda and asked for several electronic gyroscopes, from the first generation to the present.
Honda developed two models in total, but due to technical issues, the electronic gyroscope could not be used effectively.
The thing they made, supposedly for navigation, is even worse than the fake GPS Xing Baohua made in Hong Kong. At least Xing Baohua used the base station principle.
Navigation is a massive system engineering project, involving a high level of electronic technology. Especially in terms of storage, even now, storage space cannot hold a complete map.
Honda's people are quite shrewd. They think selling gyroscopes is cheap! They sell technology, the complete set of non-GPS technology and equipment, not sold separately, at $10,000 per set, starting from 100 sets.
Honda also knew that Xing Baohua had a car factory and assumed that Xing Baohua wanted to use electronic gyroscope navigation in the cars he produced.
Old Sun gave Xing Baohua feedback, which infuriated Xing Baohua so much that he immediately told Old Sun that he would only buy ten sets of non-GPS kits and electronic gyroscope technology patents.
Honda quoted Xing Baohua a price of 1.5 million US dollars. This was the price of the electronic gyroscope; if Xing Baohua agreed, they would give him ten non-GPS kits for free.
It's rare for a wealthy person to ask for such an exorbitant price. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity now, we might miss our chance.
In Xing Baohua's view, the money is acceptable; the technology that can be bought is more time-saving and labor-saving than developing it on one's own.
I entrusted Lao Sun to buy the patent, and then sent someone to bring back the purchased kit and electronic gyroscope as soon as possible.
Xing Baohua felt that the technology from eight or nine years ago was still usable, but it needed to be improved so that it could be used more in electronic devices in the future, and perhaps even in some rockets.
But Xing Baohua still couldn't understand why Honda would develop an electronic gyroscope and then use it in their navigation system!
Although he couldn't figure it out, Xing Baohua wanted an electronic gyroscope. He thought he would understand the principle after studying it once the kit arrived.
A week later, Xing Baohua saw the non-GPS kit he had purchased for $1.5 million.
Five sets of the old version and five sets of the new version.
The instructions are all in R, which I can't understand. There's no need to look for a translator; reverse engineering is the best way to get the instructions.
Without saying a word, Xing Baohua and a few people from the hardware team started disassembling.
First, they dismantled the old version. After dismantling it, Xing Baohua felt that 1.5 million US dollars was going to go down the drain.
After the professionals present analyzed the internal structure, it turned out to be quite simple. Xing Baohua initially thought the round, cylindrical object wrapped in aluminum foil was an electromagnetic coil or something similar. He wondered, "Why would they need an electromagnetic coil, and why wrap it in aluminum foil?"
Generally speaking, electromagnetic coils are made of copper core wire and are used to process signal strength, but adding aluminum components will interfere with the signal.
To reverse engineer, you need to analyze all the parts, so first remove the aluminum foil, peel off the layer of silvery paper to see a small steel cylinder with the character "He" on it.
I've figured out what this thing is now, it's helium!
But then another question arises: what role does this thing play in an electronic gyroscope? Looking at the wires at both ends, someone who doesn't know better might think it's a battery.
Everyone present understood that this was not a power supply system; it must have its own function.
Xing Baohua first had someone disassemble and analyze the device, and then he looked at the new version of the GPS kit.
This one, which is three sizes larger than the old version, has a cassette tape holder in addition to the display screen. He then found another cassette tape in the box, labeled "JD.com Maps".
Of the four characters, Xing Baohua recognized two: "Jingdong". If it were three characters, he would know without even thinking that the last character must be "hot".
A cassette tape and a small TV—it's practically a mini-movie in the car!
