That night, Hayao Miyazaki, Chen Yuesheng and several executives accompanied Bao Zixuan to have a dinner. At the same time, a brief report was made on the situation of the Japanese branch, mainly focusing on product development, project establishment and other issues. Hayao Miyazaki was not convinced by anyone before, but since Bao Zixuan put forward his ideas to him, he simply admired this boss.
To know that people are from science and engineering, how can they be so familiar with animation, and even more proficient than him as a professional in many cases, this has to make people suspicious, and finally there is only one conclusion, genius and mortal are still very different. big gap.
The next morning, Bao Zixuan just woke up. I received a phone call, and it was a phone call from an acquaintance. Although I don't know the purpose of the other party's appointment to meet him, but since he has arrived in Japan. It is necessary to meet each other in the same way. After all, many projects still have cooperation.
Akio Morita hadn't seen Bao Zixuan for a long time, and the two only talked on the phone once in a while. After all, Bao's richest man has not participated in any electronic technology exhibitions in recent years; the Black Cloud Group system is too large, and it also needs to give managers some opportunities. Not only the electronics exhibition, but also the auto show Bao Zixuan did not participate. The most recent exhibitor is the Paris Air Show. After all, it is the first time for the Black Cloud Group to participate in the exhibition. It should give the main committee some face.
For Bao Zixuan, a competitor, Morita Akio recognized it very much. Heiyun Group has achieved great success in any field, and it seems that there are no shortcomings in the high-tech field. Sony was able to win by scale and volume before, but now it has been pulled away by a black cloud.
However, since it can't be regarded as an opponent, it can still cooperate in many fields. Although Heiyun Group has a very sound industrial chain, it cannot completely occupy the market; and even if it has the ability, it would not dare to do so. It's a red flag to know that Americans have begun antitrust investigations into some of Black Cloud's products. As long as Bao Zixuan is smart enough, he will definitely cultivate competitors intentionally.
Sony is a good choice. First of all, it is not an American company, and Americans should also guard against it. Secondly, Sony has technical advantages in the field of electronics and will not be controlled by the Black Cloud Group; mainly because Americans do not believe that Black Cloud can control Sony.
Cultivating competitors, not forming subsidiaries. Therefore, the choice is very important. It is precisely because of these thoughts that Akio Morita decided to come over and have a good chat with Bao Zixuan.
With Akio Morita's character, he didn't bother to do so. But now Sony is unsatisfactory on all fronts, and it is more appropriate to describe it with dismal sales.
With the rise of the black cloud, the glory that should belong to Japanese companies did not appear. Of course, the size of the black cloud is limited, and Japanese companies still occupy the majority of the market. However, the profit is not high. Sony was the first to enter the black cloud because of the Walkman project, which makes it not a single star worse than the previous life.
In order to catch up with the black cloud, Sony has invested a lot of money in scientific research. And the most irritating thing is that every time a product is developed, it will take half a shot or a shot at night. Input and output are not proportional at all, resulting in a very unsatisfactory financial situation for Sony.
It can be said that Akio Morita cannot afford to invest, so there is only one way to go with technology authorization. After accumulating a certain amount of money, I am thinking of other ways out.
Bao Zixuan came to Japan to let Akio Morita see hope. As long as Bao Zixuan is not stupid, he must know what to do.
Although I know some of Sony's situation, I also understand that the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse. And there is Akio Morita, the **** of management, as long as the opportunity is given Sony will soon rise.
This time, Akio Morita was very sincere to treat his guests, and he chose Jiro Sushi Restaurant in Sukiyabashi, Ginza. Many people are not familiar with the name of this store, but another identity is familiar to everyone.
The **** of sushi is the Japanese term for Jiro Ono, although it hasn't reached that height yet. But the Ono family's sushi restaurant is already very famous in Japan, even Akio Morita got the seat after paying a certain price and money.
In the previous life, Bao Zixuan was very curious about how delicious the sushi made by Jiro Ono was; this time, I took the light of Akio Morita to taste it.
Jiro Ono's sushi restaurant in the basement of the Ginza office building: Jiro Sukiyabashi is world-famous, and many gourmets from all over the world come here to taste the sushi kung fu of "the first person in sushi" for more than decades. From the outside, it looks very simple, even a little shabby. A small shop with only ten seats behind the wooden fence, even though their restaurant has only ten seats, and the toilet is even outside, even though it needs to be reserved a month in advance, a 15-minute meal costs hundreds of dollars per person, people who have eaten it will still Sigh, this is "sushi worth the wait of a lifetime".
Jiro Ono buys fish from the best fish seller, shrimp from the best shrimp seller, and rice from the best rice seller. From the temperature of the vinegared rice, to the length of time to pickle the fish, to the strength of massaging the octopus, Jiro Ono still personally supervises. He will carefully arrange the seats according to the customer's gender and dining habits, and always pay attention to the guests' dining situation to make adjustments.
A movie in the previous life pushed Jiro Ono to the status of the **** of sushi, but it is really commendable for the old man to be able to make sushi like a day for decades.
When I came to Jiro Ono Sushi restaurant, Akio Morita said with a smile: "Baosang, it's been a long time. It's been a long time since there's been news about you, which is really enviable."
In fact, there are congratulations in these words, but also sarcasm in it. Although there is a request from Bao Zixuan, Akio Morita also wants to let the other party know. This is a win-win situation. We will not give up our principles and personality because of this, and our family will not be humble because of this. After all, it has not yet arrived at that time.
Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Sheng Tian's style is still the same; compared to me, your life is much happier."
They only spoke half of the words, but in fact, both of them were very tired. But at present, no one wants to take the first shot, after all, that means passive.
After the two sat down, they began to serve. Unlike other places, this sushi restaurant cannot order food by yourself. Eat whatever the chef does.
Akio Morita: "Don't look at this shop, Baosang, but the taste here is absolutely unparalleled. It's not that they don't have the funds to expand the scale, but people don't want to. The owner and chef here, Jiro Ono, has been focusing on sushi for nearly a decade. 40 years, definitely a master."
In fact, Bao Zixuan knew this, but he had never been there before. And I don't come to Japan very often, so I have to pretend I don't know anything at this time. Otherwise, it is not good to reveal the secret, at least it will make people suspicious.
Bao Zixuan: "There are many places in Japan that are worth learning, and the level of focus on work is really admirable. Everyone says they should love their work, but there are only a few who can really do it."
"When Sony relied on electronic products, the same is true for the black cloud. Now, it seems that technology has become the first in the world, but it still has not reached the perfect level. Technology is never ending. Everyone wants to continue to climb in work and scientific research, trying to climb to the top , but no one knows where the peak is."
"The same is true for the Black Cloud Group. This time I came to a small sushi restaurant. I was very impressed. It seems that every industry has the potential to become a master. It depends on whether we can persevere."
Bao Zixuan's words sounded half-understood by Morita Akio, but Ono Jiro felt deeply. Isn't this the truest thought in his heart! It seems that there are still soulmates in this world, but they have not encountered them before.
Akio Zhentian: "This time I came here to cooperate with Black Cloud Group I hope Black Cloud will license some products to Sony for production. I am just a product that was investigated by the U.S. Commerce Department, I think you should understand what it is. mean."
It seems that the old boy came prepared. The industry investigated by the US Commerce Department means monopoly. It is not easy for Heiyun to enter the US market at this time.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "What good is this for Heiyun Group. We are all businessmen, and we lose money and are still a way to train talents for our competitors. We won't do it if we kill them."
Akio Morita: "Sony needs these orders to keep the business going, and Black Cloud can get out of the antitrust investigation."
It can be said that the analysis of this old boy is very reasonable, and the Black Cloud Group does intend to cultivate competitors. In a phone call from Jobs in his previous life, Bill Gates borrowed $150 million to Apple, just because he was worried that Apple would not have a better life if Microsoft fell.
It can be said that this is a check and balance, and it is also a double-edged sword, depending on how to make a move.
The richest man Bao has basically agreed. After all, he has considered this issue before coming here. The remaining things need to be negotiated specifically, and Sony must not be cheap.
