Chapter 1820

What's left of Sony?

In addition to the PS game and entertainment industry, what is Sony?

Sony semiconductor is the only one that can handle hardware, but what is Sony semiconductor? Can't beat Toshiba semiconductor is still a problem. music? Sony Music is the world's largest music copyright library, and its liquidity is disgraceful. TV? Lost the panel, was hit by Samsung LG, relying on the Chinese market to survive. game? It's still a problem that the next generation can't Beat Microsoft.

Andy's interest in Sony is really small. If Sony wants him to join in the PS console game, he can agree without hesitation. Unfortunately, how can the traditional conservative foot basin enterprises share their treasures with others.

So cooperation, alliance and so on, Andy is really not interested at all.

Of course, it was a guest, and Andy didn't refuse to be a thousand miles away. He had a good meal and a good chat. His main goal was to put it on the president of kapok game production company, Chun Hong bu.

"What do you think?" Sitting on the car returning to downtown Osaka, Sony's president stretched out his back and leaned on the seat to keep his eyes closed, unable to see his expression of joy or sorrow, he said in Japanese.

Next to him, Howard Skinner, President of Sony North America, looked at the boss who was sitting in a strange position. He pondered, and finally sighed, "he is not interested in us. He is more interested in Capcom."

"You mean he wants to invest in Capcom?"

"Investment? No, Mr. Usui may not know him very well. This young richest man in the world, but a thoroughly greedy hungry wolf, his favorite is to eat the whole prey and spit out the bones. Capcom should have entered his purchase plan. You know, his Mockingbird game company is a black horse in the game world. He does not lack money to expand mockery In the next few years, he will definitely merge and acquire around the company, and Capcom should be one of them.

His entertainment media empire has taken shape, straddling many forms of entertainment, and he is good at using his resources. Andy Smith's most powerful place is his business mind. Taking marvel as an example, after his acquisition, all kinds of hero films can't stop one by one. It's said that he personally planned a Marvel Universe, which will surpass what he will shoot in the next 20 years The heroes are all connected.

It's amazing and frightening to think about it. Even if there are five films like iron man in the 10 films, it's a crazy thing. Just look at our spider man. Marvel, the abandoned gold mine, starts to produce gold in his hands. That's why I hope to establish a cooperative relationship with him...

Unfortunately...

To be honest, I'm really worried that the IP of Spiderman will be taken back by marvel. We are different from fox who bought out X-Men. There are so many loopholes left by Spiderman. Even if the X-Men are bought out, marvel keeps pestering fox, which makes fox have a headache. The comics of X-Men are totally different. There's a way to make this series die. This The same kind of persecution, it is shameless to let people speechless!

At the Hulu video concert just held, Michael was also invited to perform, and I was worried about

Hearing Howard's analysis and speculation, he opened his eyes slowly with his eyes closed, held out his fingers and shook them, interrupted Howard to continue, and said coldly: "if he wants to buy kapok, he may not succeed. Last year, kapok's investor conference passed a purchase boycott policy."

"Well?" Howard couldn't help but be stunned and pondered. Knowing that his boss didn't want to mention Michael Jackson, he could only follow his topic and say, "no one can't live with the dollar, especially in the financial crisis."

Now many companies have acquisition boycotts, as well as various other policies and strategies, in order to prevent someone from maliciously acquiring the company's control right through the way of stock acquisition, but also set a big obstacle for the normal acquisition. However, this kind of policy is of limited use in the face of its own difficulties and rich returns. After all, it is decided by shareholders' voting. When the money is in place, you can change your mind and become a welcome buyer right away.

"It's also about..." He didn't know what he was thinking of, and his brow began to wrinkle. Howard didn't know that kapok had asked Sony to help him out because of the financial crisis before, but Sony negotiated with the heart of price reduction. Kapok didn't like it, and finally didn't like it. It was said that kapok was now in need of help from the industry's golden heaven If Andy Smith offers a price that is hard to refuse, maybe he will succeed.

"What are his weaknesses or preferences?"

Howard was not surprised to hear the question of extending his career. Since he has been a professional manager for such a long time, he is also very clear about the routines and methods of these foot bearers. However, he still said: "female stars, this is not a secret in Hollywood."

"Women? "I'll hold a party at home the day after tomorrow. You're going to invite him again. Then I'll prepare some gifts for him..." he saidHoward narrowed his eyes, blinked his eyes and nodded his head slightly. He was very clear about Sony's influence in the foot basin entertainment circle. Frankly speaking, Sony is the king of the foot basin entertainment circle. It's absolutely the only one. It's too simple to give what he likes. Especially, the foot basin entertainment circle is completely placed on the table.

"Don't force..."

After thinking for a while, Howard didn't want to talk about it. He believed that he was familiar with Andy Smith's materials. However, in the understanding of some dirty and unscrupulous people, Howard had to remind him that he was really worried that these people would offend Andy Smith by shameless means. That's really necessary It's broken.

Extending his eyes to Howard, who looked at him coldly and sharply, said in a cold voice, "are you questioning me?"

Although the other side is his immediate superior, Howard is not afraid of the other side. After all, his appointment and dismissal are not counted. But once he offends Andy Smith, his life in the United States will be difficult. So, at the moment, he is not only not afraid of the other side, but also needle to needle, saying: "close the relationship, establish a cooperative friendship, I have no opinion, and even raise both sides Hand in hand, but if the president has other ideas, I would advise you to give up as early as possible, because, if you don't do well, you will die! "

Howard will die. Of course, he doesn't mean the real dead, but offends an old political family with a long history in the United States. The reputation and reputation of the richest man in the world are damaged. I'm afraid they will face a shocking retaliation. He will be the first to take charge of American affairs. He will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

And do not flinch, and he has been keeping eye contact with the extended well, frown tight, a little ugly face humed twice said: "no one will be stupid and he established hatred."

Howard's reply to Shinichi Inoue was just a cold nod, and the carriage was silent again. The difference between them was not two days in a day, so they had no words all the way.

While sitting on the tatami cushion, he tasted the tea made by his assistant. Andy took a sip of the tea and sighed, "I'm not used to her going."

The little assistant turned his mouth, shook his head slightly, and continued to pour tea for the big devil. However, the Sao fox left for Kyoto for work reasons. In order to prevent the big devil from continuing to the woman, the little assistant asked, "boss, I have seen kapukun's information, and there are many famous games, such as the birth and transformation crisis, the big God, the ghost warrior, and the ghost cry Brand. On the one hand, the company enjoys the honor of "action supremacy" because it is good at action games, on the other hand, because of its capricious business strategy and endless speculation, it is known as "card bitch" by players. Pit end peer pit players, even their own companies are pit is its consistent purpose.

A kapsky company, which is in financial difficulties and can't bring out new works and only eats old ones, has greatly reduced its value. Boss, are you sure you want to buy it? "

" ha ha, very sure! " Andy took a sip from the cup, raised his mouth and said with a smile.
