Ibuka is very satisfied with the working attitude of the R&D team and Takakura Jiro's on-site decision-making ability. This kid is definitely a gem of Sony, no wonder Akio Morita is so reused. Give young people more opportunities, not just talk about it. It is necessary to take practical actions. Thinking of what some old employees did yesterday, it seems that it really needs to be rectified.
In fact, in the depths of Ibuka's body and mind, he really didn't want to ask Morita Akio to discuss the company's personnel structure. After all, he is fully retired and usually only appears in the company as a shareholder. When the president is not at fault, no one should interfere in company management and personnel issues. This is a matter of principle, which will make the current president lose his authority, which is very detrimental to company management.
But seeing these young people, definitely give it a try. Failure to retain talent is the biggest loss for the company. And maybe Morita Akio is thinking about giving him confidence, after all, no one wants to change the status quo more than him.
Next, the Takakura Jiro team fully entered the working state and optimized the data of each subsystem. The experimental results are very satisfactory, that is to say, the Sony office inventory management system can already be introduced to the market.
Takakura Jiro said very excitedly: "After more than half a year of hard work, Sony's office inventory management system has been successfully developed and has met the listing requirements."
Although the voice was short, the young people present were very excited. Everyone jumped up with excitement, and many people cried; no one knew what they had experienced in the past six months. The so-called hard study in school before is simply weak here.
Takakura Jiro continued: "This weekend everyone has two days off, and then they have to go to work. Although our product has been developed, it has not yet produced benefits. It must be promoted, otherwise everything will be meaningless."
It's good to be able to rest, everyone is young. Although the body can bear it, but the heart can not bear it for a long time.
Ibuka came to Takakura Jiro's side and looked at the data on the computer screen. With a smile, he said, "What are the functions of our Sony office inventory management system, can you tell me about it!"
Although it involves company secrets, as the founder, Jiro Takakura really does not doubt that Ibuka will betray Sony.
Takakura Jiro: "The first is the time to count the inventory. As long as all managers learn to use this system, they can view the inventory status on the computer. For example, the computer at the home of President Ibuka is connected to the central server, plus the administrator privileges. , you can view various data of the company at the first time, and you don’t need to go through anyone at all.”
"Or if you are not satisfied with the progress of the work in that department, you can directly send them rectification suggestions. If employees have any suggestions, they can send them to the message board, and the system will organize and push them according to the popularity."
"And the inventory in that warehouse drops below the warning line, the system will automatically alarm, and the administrator can coordinate from other warehouses. For example, some products are outdated in the European and American markets; but there are still markets in Africa, Southeast Asia and other places. We will You can eradicate sales data and make allocations. Then collect local raw material data to see which raw materials can be used by Sony.”
It can be said that Ibuka is shocked to hear that the application of Sony's office system can definitely make Sony stand out among local enterprises.
Jing Shenda: "I think your work schedule is very reasonable, but I heard that you have just graduated from school. Is this also taught in school?"
Hearing this, Takakura Jiro felt a little embarrassed. After all, this is not his first creation, but since the old president has already asked, he must answer.
Takakura Jiro: "I am studying at Yulin Institute of Technology, and there are many teachers who teach us. Among them are engineers who have participated in the secret project of the Black Cloud Group."
"Inside Black Cloud, there is a very mysterious project team. Usually it doesn't exist at all, but when there is a major scientific research project that needs public relations, elite talents will be recruited from various branches, schools, and scientific research institutions."
"It is said that there is only one office next to Yulin Institute of Technology. But the office can accommodate thousands of people working at the same time, and it is full of technical experts who are temporarily transferred."
"If you have any ideas, you can communicate with the engineers next to you as soon as possible. The skilled workers will come to the side to make the things to be done at the first time, and then verify them."
"I heard that after entering, unless the project is successfully developed, or it is abandoned; otherwise, it is absolutely not allowed to come out. There is only 5 minutes per week, and my family members call to report safety; the rest of the time is either work or rest."
"So the work efficiency is very high, and the project progress is extremely fast. Ground effect aircraft, stealth bombers, metal sodium solar power generation equipment; all are the results of this temporary scientific research institution."
"But because of confidentiality, the outside world doesn't know much about it. And only Principal Bao Zixuan can go in at any time, and no one else has authorization. We just follow the cat and draw a tiger and learn a superficial image, which is still far from the real closed research and development. At least it can't be done in terms of confidentiality. Fortunately, the products developed are not so high-end."
Hearing this, Ibuka understood. Sony has fallen seriously behind in this competition, at least compared to the Black Cloud Group. This can indeed improve work efficiency, but the requirements for researchers are very high.
If it happened in Europe and America, it would definitely say that you do not respect human rights. However, scientific research projects, especially major scientific research projects, really need to do this to achieve the desired effect. Ibuka, who studied science and engineering, has a deep understanding of this.
Jing Shenda: "You all graduated from Yulin Institute of Technology, and are all sons of Sony!"
Takakura Jiro: "We grew up in Sony, and everyone's father has worked in the company for more than 20 years. It can be said that the word "Sony" has been integrated into our blood. After graduating from Yulin Institute of Technology, we directly Back to work in Japan.
It's a nod to the company culture, and any founder would be happy. The sons of Sony are very good and very worthy of training.
Jing Shen laughed and said, "I heard that when you graduated, Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group offered you a very generous treatment in order to keep you."
Could it be a test, but since he chose to come back, there is no way out.
Takakura Jiro: "President Ibuka is joking, all the expenses I spent studying in Xiangjiang in the past were borne by Sony. I have to be conscientious as a person, although I am a student of Principal Bao. But I am also a son of Sony, and I can have the opportunity to work for the company. Of course, it is obligatory. As for the treatment, gold can shine anywhere, and it can play its own value in Sony.”
Definitely a perfect answer, especially for a retired founder.
Jing Shen laughed and said, "We have to learn from others' good management methods and continue to work hard. I am very optimistic about you."
After speaking, he left immediately, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
Ibuka didn't go home After all, it was still very early. Instead, I came to Akio Morita's office to hear what this partner thinks.
Akio Morita has just returned from a business trip, and today is the first time he goes to work. Listening to the secretary's report early in the morning, the old chairman Jing Shenda came to the office to see him. This is definitely something new; as an old partner of 40 years, Akio Morita knows Ibuka very well.
This person is not very interested in management, and likes to engage in research and development when he is young; otherwise, it is impossible to resign as chairman of Sony before the age of 60.
In addition, the Japanese will never retire, and as long as they leave, they will basically not interfere with the company. Even if you are a major shareholder, you must respect the opinions of the current leader.
But since he came, there must be something. It is still necessary to pay attention to affection and reason, public and private.
After the two sat down, Jing Shen laughed and said, "I didn't disturb your work! It's my fault this time. I came here temporarily and didn't inform you in advance."
After all, he is more than ten years older than himself, and he is considered a senior. Although Akio Morita is known as the saint of the four major business operations in Japan, he really did not dare to play this prestige in front of Ibuka. So he smiled and said, "We don't need to talk about this, it's too late for me to be happy that you can come."
"I just came back from a business trip, and I was thinking of going home at night; I didn't expect you to come in person. It seems that we have thought about many things again."
Akio Morita's strength is not in research and development, but in marketing, mergers and acquisitions, and business management. Therefore, the speech is very level; it is not an exaggeration to describe it as watertight.
Not only sincere, but also fake, in short, it makes people feel very comfortable; at least Ibuka, a man from science and engineering, is still very useful.
Jing Shenda: "I just had nothing to do, and went to the place where we fought back then. Maybe it's because I'm old and always thinking about the past."
