Tamisuke Yokogawa encouraged Ichiro and Aoki by giving them a following word of advice. "You don't need to think about making money out of this business. Your utmost important task, for now, is to gain know-how of the technology and work on it. And I would like to hear people praise the products released by Yokogawa Electric Corporation".
