The first thing Oda did when he took office was to visit Toyota.

"Oda Sang, do you think Toyota's direct heir had made an appointment with us here?" Zhou Shuo looked around with a little surprise. This was a pork bone ramen shop in a small alley. The customers sat around the high counter, and the chef was operating the place inside.

In fact, Zhou Shuo thinks this model is very suitable for small restaurants. At least it is much more at ease than placing the kitchen in the back compartment and not even seeing anything in the bowl.

"His name is Toyota Nagao." Oda Toyoo nodded, made it at the counter, loosened the tie and neckline, and shouted: "Boss, come a serving of turtle bone ramen and add a little more coriander!"

While waiting for the meal, Oda Juno continued to say to Zhou Shuo: "Although Toyota Nagao is the direct heir to the Toyota family, he is a well-known 'civilian faction'. His daily life is relatively simple and he is approachable to people. Of course, no one knows whether it is true or not."

Juno Oda obviously did his homework before coming and continued to Zhou Shuo: "Although Toyota Nagao is the heir to the Toyota family, he may not necessarily become the president of Toyota Group. What is his future? It still requires his own efforts. So, it is still fair to Toyota."

"This is already very unfair." Zhou Shuo curled his lips and said, "As long as he works hard, he will definitely gain. Even if an ordinary person works ten times harder than him, he will not necessarily gain. Of course, there is no absolute fairness in this world."

"Replacing the management system is something that the president must nod himself or even passes the board of directors to determine. With Toyota Nagao's current position and status, it can only be said to be a channel of communication. Of course, this channel does not have any influence on it. The current president of Toyota Group is his uncle Toyota Dairo, but he will soon retire. If Toyota Nagao wants to make a difference, now is the last chance."

The two were communicating in a low voice, and the bell suddenly rang at the door of the ramen shop.

jingle.

A middle-aged man with small eyes pushed open the door, carried a briefcase in one hand and lifted the curtain in the other and walked in.

"Toyota, here!" Oda Juno saw him first and raised his hand and signaled.

"Oda-kun, this is Zhou Jun." Toyota Nagao nodded, put his briefcase aside, and sat down in the high chair in front of the counter.

"Boss, a serving of turtle bone ramen!" He only smiled when he ordered food.

"Sorry, something was delayed on the road. I wasn't late, right?" Toyota Nao took off her suit top and hung it on the back of the chair.

If he hadn't been sure of knowing his identity, Zhou Shuo wouldn't believe that this was the future head of the huge Toyota Empire, 150 billion US dollars. He seemed to be a very ordinary office worker, besides being more serious.

"Where, we just came here too." Juno Oda said with a smile. No matter how approachable Toyota Nagato was, as long as his identity was placed there, Juno Oda would never dare to be rude.

Toyota Nagao nodded and said, "I have heard of the ERP system that is emerging in the United States, but I don't have a definite impression of what is the difference between it and the current MRPII system."

Although Toyota Nagao is the direct heir of Toyota Group, he did not go directly to work in Toyota Group after leaving university. Instead, he went to the United States on the other side of the ocean and worked in capital investment for a period of time. He always had some basic understanding of the capital and management advantages of the United States.

"It's like this. In fact, some people have proposed the ERP management idea at the beginning of this century. In general, the MRPII system can incorporate more information into the digitalization process based on the advancement of computer and network technology..."

Juno Oda also had a detailed understanding of the ERP system. At this time, of course, he talked endlessly about the advantages of the ERP system.

Toyota Nagao was indeed listening carefully, and from time to time he asked Juno Oda about his own opinions. It can be seen that although he had no understanding of the ERP system, he still had a deep understanding of the production and management of the enterprise.

The two of them were excited and even asked the shop owner for a bottle of sake and started drinking together.

"Toyota Jun, Zhou Sang is actually the most indirect person to ERP. At present, the most mature ERP system in the United States was designed by him. Moreover, the Xinke Computer Company he owns also has a lot of experience in customizing ERP. Some industrial chains even use the ERP system they produce from upstream to terminals. It is really amazing!"

Juno Oda pushed Zhou Shuo out and said in a compliment.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I'm meeting for the first time. Please give me some advice!" Toyota's eldest son picked up the wine glass and toasted Zhou Shuo.

Zhou Shuo did not pick up the wine glass, but looked into his eyes and asked, "Toyota, have you ever thought about installing a computer in a car?"

"Are you saying that ITS's idea?" Toyota Nagao is still very concerned about the cutting-edge ideas of the automotive industry, nodded and said: "Now many vehicles have GPS systems installed, which should be considered a computer."

The so-called ITS is an intelligent transportation system. In terms of image, it is somewhat similar to the future automatic cars in American movies, except that the concept of this system should be more specific and feasible.

Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "Although it's about the same, what I want to say is to move the real computer system to the car."

"But what's the use?" Toyota Nagao said in confusion: "When people drive cars, they can't free up their hands to use computers at the same time, right?"

"You can combine computers and cars." Zhou Shuo said with a gesture: "For example, combining electronic devices and automobile mechanical systems to achieve electronic maintenance and fault diagnosis of cars. For example, reducing mechanical transmission systems and replacing them with computer-controlled electric mechanisms. For example, through sensors' timely grasping of car information, detecting tire pressure, and preventing theft, it can also provide cars with rich multimedia entertainment functions..."

Toyota Nagao nodded while listening: "What you said can indeed be regarded as the future development direction of automobiles, but at the current level of electronic development, it is not easy to move a computer to a car. Only relatively high-end cars will have some applications in this regard."

As a dominant in the automotive industry, how could Toyota not pay attention to the development of applications in this area? Toyota Changnan himself has worked in the United States for a while, and his development and application of technology are particularly obvious. Zhou Shuo gave a few examples casually, which immediately made him smell the smell of the market.

However, after all, he grew up in an outstanding business family, with a deep cunning foundation and no expression on his face.

Zhou Shuo didn't care, so he asked instead: "Does Toyota usually drive by himself?"

"I will also participate in car racing occasionally!" Toyota Nagao showed a proud smile.

"No." Zhou Shuo pursed his lips: "I mean in life, does Toyota Jun drive by himself?"

"Well..." Toyota Nagato was a little embarrassed, but he said honestly: "I occasionally try new models, but most of the time it is served by a driver."

"Then you must not reverse the car often." Zhou Shuo took out a document from his carry-on bag and handed it to him, saying: "This is a patent document that describes a reversing assist device. The driver is prompted by ultrasonic detection of the distance of the rear obstacles in the vehicle to avoid accidents caused by places that cannot be observed in the reversing mirror."

Toyota Nagao took the file from Zhou Shuo with interest, opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Good, very interesting technology."

"This is just an example, and it is my attempt to apply microcomputers in car driving." Zhou Shuo said seriously.

This is just a trick he prepared to open up the Japanese market at the suggestion of Juno Oda. The entire patented technology was written by him two hours before going to bed at night. Whether it is an ultrasonic detector or a voice prompter, they are ready-made products on the market. As long as you write a well-read technical document, the Patent Office will not forcefully require physical objects.

The most precious thing here is actually the radar identification system. How to eliminate interference and accurately realize the alarm function is the most test of technology. It is quite proud that this invention is the first breakthrough achieved by domestic research. Zhou Guangming, principal of Chengdu Hydropower Engineering School, who has nothing to do with automobiles, has achieved practical results first.

He saw Toyota Nagato reading this patent information and then said: "The biggest difference between this reversing radar and the current beep prompt is that it can accurately depict the specific situation of the unvisible area behind the car and remind it through voice. Ultrasonic detection and microcomputer information processing technology are used. If the current on-board GPS system can be improved, it can even use its processor and display system to achieve real-time positioning of parking assist."

Toyota Nagato's eyes lit up with interest and said, "This technology is very practical. After all, not everyone has rich spatial imagination. However, can you tell me in detail about the idea of ​​combining it with the on-board GPS system?"

For Toyota Changnan, the reversing radar is a good selling point. But from his height, what is more valuable is Zhou Shuo's proposal to use the GPS system to improve it. Some ideas for on-board computers to form an overall system have been vaguely revealed here.

Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "Now the on-board GPS is just a signal receiving device, but it is still a microcomputer system, with CPU, memory, motherboard and data input and output devices. If an operating system is made for it, GPS navigation is its application, and reverse radar is also its application. Next, multimedia applications, anti-theft applications and even network applications can be added to it. Everything that a computer can do can be achieved."

The more you hear the Toyota Naga's eyes, the brighter it becomes. If the ERP system can increase the competitiveness of Toyota Group, then the prospect described by Zhou Shuo is the direction that Toyota stands out among many competitors! He can already imagine how extensive and important the automotive electronic system is in the application of automobiles! Although many people have long published many ideas in this regard, no one has ever proposed such a practical and feasible technical direction like him!
