Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Huo Jianning's anti-provocative attitude undoubtedly annoyed Matsumoto Wang and Demps Jerry.

After the two were silent for a while, Demps Jerry said coldly, "President Huo, if you think so, then we have no problem!"

Matsumoto Wang did not say a word, but his attitude was unmistakable.

For a time, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed very depressed.

Huo Jianning glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, and suddenly sneered, what he said made Matsumoto and Demps Jerry frown.

"threaten me?"

"I have to say, you are a typical ignorant and fearless!"

This sarcastic tone made Demps Jerry furious. He stood up directly, with a condescending gesture that seemed to give him power, and said loudly, "President Huo, it's you who is ignorant now."

"I can guarantee that PolyGram International Limited will never support Tiangong Electronics Group's technology, nor will other European record companies!"

Demps Jerry's gesture annoyed Huo Jianning.

"boom!"

His face turned cold, and he slapped the table with a slap, making Demps Jerry startled.

"You can't guarantee it!"

"Before speaking big words, weigh yourself first!"

"After reading these materials, I hope you can repeat what you just said!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning winked at an assistant on the left, who immediately threw the stack of documents that he had been holding to Demps Jerry.

Then Huo Jianning, who was embarrassed and didn't know whether to sit down or continue to stand, said to the assistant on the right: "Show the document to President Matsumoto too!"

The assistant on the right immediately handed the document to Nozomi Matsumoto's assistant.

Huo Jianning said to Matsumoto Wang expressionlessly: "President Matsumoto, these materials are copies, you can take them away later, just look at them, I'm not in a hurry!"

Matsumoto Wang had an extremely bad premonition in his heart. Without saying a word, he directly took the document in the assistant's hand and browsed it carefully.

After watching it for less than five seconds, his face changed drastically, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Huo Jianning with a calm expression, then suppressed the shock in his heart and tried his best to keep calm and look down.

Demps Jerry, who was on the side, realized that it was not good, sat down again and browsed the documents in front of him.

In the same way, after only watching it for a while, his complexion changed greatly, and his thoughts were in chaos.

Looking at the panicked two, Huo Jianning's mouth evoked a sneer.

If the friendly negotiation can't go on, then he will simply show his cards.

Wang fried!

The two of them were looking at the information related to a series of record companies they had acquired before.

It is a cooperation agreement on CD-ROM format records by seven companies including EMI Records, Virgin Records, Island Records, American Epic Records, RCA Group, A\u0026 Company, and Universal Music Group.

and a copy of the share certificate of PolyGram International Limited.

Before the seven companies' partnership agreement was written, the refusal from Polygram International Ltd. and Columbia Records seemed unthreatening!

Together, these seven record companies support Tiangong Electronics Group, which is enough to cover the main market of CD discs and support Tiangong Electronics Group to promote products.

If you think about it carefully, these seven record companies support Tiangong Electronics Group, then they will never support Philips and Sony, which is enough to cause a major blow to the two companies.

What's more, there is a copy of the 35% share certificate of Poly Gold International Limited.

Just this one copy directly hit Demps Jerry in the face.

Yes, Philips is the largest shareholder of PolyGram International Co., Ltd., but its shareholding ratio is only a little more. Even if it joins Siemens to suppress the new shareholder Universal Music Group, it cannot be absolutely suppressed.

A veto power alone can prevent most resolutions from being passed.

Philips can ask PolyGram International Co., Ltd. not to agree to support Tiangong Electronics Group,

Then, just relying on the Universal Music Group behind this certificate of equity can also prevent Philips from getting support.

It can be said that the trump card in the hands of Philips to promote CD technology has been abolished directly!

Seeing Demps Jerry's blushing face, Huo Jianning was in a great mood.

Time passed slowly.

It was observed that Demps Jerry and Nozomi Matsumoto read the documents.

Huo Jianning Nuoyu's voice sounded again: "President Matsumoto, President Jerry, do you think our technology can be successfully promoted?"

These words were like chili water, directly pouring salt on the wounds of Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Nozomi, making them extremely uncomfortable.

But after Huo Jianning's card, the two of them were completely at a disadvantage, and the preparation plans before coming were all disrupted.

The current situation is beyond their control and decision-making range, and the only way to go back and report to the company can be decided by their respective chairman.

Matsumoto Wang squeezed a reluctant smile, and said embarrassingly, "I didn't expect Tiangong Electronics Group to reach cooperation with so many companies without a sound. Your company's confidentiality work is really good."

Huo Jianning smiled and said jokingly: "No way, if I don't prepare, I'll have a headache now..."

Matsumoto Nozomi smiled awkwardly, and didn't dare to answer, he just wanted to leave quickly.

"President Huo, it seems that our first negotiation can only come here today. I will bring your company's attitude back first, and hope that we can reach a real cooperation."

Huo Jianning nodded slightly, gave Matsumoto a meaningful look, then glanced at Demps Jerry, and said lightly: "President Matsumoto, I only give you five days, the choice is in your hands, I welcome All partners are also not afraid of any competition!"

"We have already reached a cooperation with these record companies, no matter what the result is, I will definitely bring the product to the market."

"My attitude, I hope you can tell Mr. Dai Ibuka and Mr. Akio Morita as they are."

Then he looked at Demps Jerry again and said lightly, "President Jerry, I hope you will inform Mr. Philips as soon as possible."

"These materials, you can take them away!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning made a gesture of please.

Matsumoto Nozomi and Demps Jerry wanted to leave for a long time, and they got up one after another, and after saying something casually, they left in a hurry.

Of course, in Huo Jianning's view, the two groups fled here completely in despair.

Seeing them disappear from sight, Huo Jianning's eyes became deep, and he sighed quietly for a long time.

In fact, emotionally, he doesn't want to cooperate with Philips and Sony, and he doesn't want to pull the two companies together to become the framers of the new data disc standard.

But from a rational point of view, cooperation with Philips and Sony is more beneficial than disadvantages for Tiangong Electronics Group. The reason is that the foundation of Tiangong Electronics Group is shallow, both internal and external foundations are shallow!

Sony has decades of technical heritage and market relationships, not to mention Philips. Now the world's top 500 companies, giants in the field of electronics, have accumulated more than 90 years of technical heritage and relationships in all aspects.

If nothing else, in terms of technical standards, Philips is not only the maker of the CD-DA disc standard, but also the leader of many other technical alliances. Philips shares other common interests with other companies.

If Philips really wants to go the other way with Sony, it can definitely attract a large group of allies to follow, and the scientific research strength of the two companies should not be underestimated. It is absolutely possible to develop another set of standards.

When two camps are formed, Tiangong Electronics Group will likely have very few allies in this camp.

Huo Jianning was not absolutely sure of winning, and he didn't want to cause trouble to the chairman because of this matter, and even let the chairman waste resources again.

Therefore, although Tiangong Electronics Group has solved the constraints of introducing to the market, in view of the fact that the group's current comprehensive strength is still unable to achieve the top level, he can only focus on stability.

He has played the trump card now. As long as the operators of Philips and Sony are not stupid, they will definitely choose to bow their heads and put peace as the most valuable.

As for the level of "harmony" and how the benefits are distributed, it will be five days later.

As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still under his control, and Tiangong Electronics Group has a great initiative!

...

Let's talk about Matsumoto Nozomi, after leaving Tiangong Electronics Group, he rushed back to the port area of ​​Tokyo, the island country, almost non-stop, to meet the chairman Akio Morita.

After learning of the severe situation, Akio Morita immediately called another founder and chief technical advisor, Dai Ibuka.

Sony Corporation was founded by Akio Morita and Dai Ibuka.

Akio Morita is good at business management, and Daisuke Ibuka is a great technical expert. He liked to invent when he was in college, and won the Outstanding Invention Award at the Paris World Exposition for his "dynamic neon sign".

Under the combination of the two swords, Sony has flourished and has become an electronics giant in an island country in a few decades.

When Ibuka came, Akio Morita immediately asked Matsumoto to repeat what happened.

After Matsumoto had finished speaking, Akio Morita immediately asked: "Jun Jingsuke, you know more about the technical aspects. You have also analyzed the samples that Tiangong Electronics Group brought before, and we are now avoiding the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group. Barriers, whether the second generation of data discs can be developed."

Jing Shenda nodded without hesitation and said, "The data disc industry is still in its infancy. As long as enough manpower and funds are invested, it is absolutely possible to go the other way. To avoid it, you need to invest more R\u0026D costs.”

"And it also needs to ensure that before we develop finished products, Tiangong Electronics Group will not rush ahead of us in certain technical fields. The more technology is occupied by them, the greater the difficulty and cost of our research and development will be. The road gets narrower."

"In the ideal situation, how long will it take to develop a product of the same level as Tiangong Electronics Group?" Akio Morita continued to ask.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jingsuke said cautiously: "In the case of our joint venture with Philips, it is conservatively estimated that it will take more than six months! If the research and development does not go well, it will take even longer!"

Akio Morita immediately shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, it's too long."

Ibuka is also a person with high IQ. Although he doesn't care about business, he still understands most of the things.

After listening to Matsumoto's remarks just now, he knew how Morita Akio would choose. The reason why he asked him was just a glimmer of hope.

But unfortunately, he could not give this expectation to Akio Morita, he has always been realistic.

"Mr. Shengtian, this time, our technology is behind. We can only hope that the subsequent technology research and development will produce results sooner."

"With the support of so many record companies, Tiangong Electronics Group's products and technologies are no longer constrained in the market, no matter whether we hold Columbia Records or Polygram International Limited, we can't give Tiangong Electronics Group's products and technologies to the market. A deadly threat to the Industrial and Electronic Group.”

"Even Philips is more powerless than us."

"The CD market is just in its infancy, and there is still a lot of room for us to explore. For the time being, it is not enough to spend a huge amount of money on direct confrontation."

"My suggestion is to temporarily compromise with Tiangong Electronics Group and join forces to make this cake bigger."

After speaking, Ibuka said no more and looked at Akio Morita.

Akio Morita is the chairman. He has already made suggestions. No matter what Akio Morita chooses, he will support him.

After thinking for a long time, Akio Morita said decisively: "There will be no confrontation for the time being, but we must become one of the new standard setters. This is the bottom line of cooperation, otherwise we will fight!"

"Ji Shen-kun, I will propose to the board of directors to increase investment in the research and development of CD-ROM technology, and you will need to pay more attention later."

Ibuka said with a big smile, "No problem."

The next day, Akio Morita held an interim board of directors.

At the meeting, Matsumoto Wang once again told all the directors the details, and then Morita Akio put forward his attitude.

In the end, there is no doubt that Akio Morita's opinion was unanimously approved.

The meeting also decided that Matsumoto Wang will continue to lead the team to negotiate.

The bottom line is that Sony has to become one of the new standard-setters, and the technology is interchangeable.

As for the dominance of the new standard alliance, Akio Morita does not have any extravagant hopes. With Tiangong Electronics Group taking the lead, it is almost impossible for Sony to seize the dominance of the alliance, unless Huo Jianning is a fool, obviously Huo Jianning is not...

Another supporting role, Philips of the Netherlands, is stronger than Sony, but after the market trump card of PolyGram International Co., Ltd. is abolished, Philips has less choice.

After Demps Jerry went back, he reported the situation clearly, and then Philips immediately convened a board of directors.

The final result is that Philips does not want to fight this kind of battle without absolute chance of winning, and intends to continue the negotiation, as long as it keeps the identity of the framer of the new standard alliance.

Soon, the five days given by Huo Jianning flashed by.

Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Wang once again led the team to Xiangjiang, the only difference being that the negotiating team was larger.

But on the other hand, it also shows that the two companies attach importance to this negotiation.

It took almost a day to negotiate and finally reached an agreement, and the three companies jointly signed a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation. Philips and Sony fully supported the CD-ROM format standard proposed by Tiangong Electronics Group.

The new CD-ROM standard is dominated by Tiangong Electronics Group, which serves as the chairman of the Technology Standards Alliance, and Philips and Sony are vice-chairmen.

As for the more detailed division of interests, it involves many aspects, including more than ten pages of A4 paper, which is very beneficial to Tiangong Electronics Group in general.

In terms of technology exchange, Huo Jianning had already asked Dr. Lu Chao to make a list of technologies that are of great value and urgently needed by Tiangong Electronics Group according to the actual situation of Tiangong Technology Laboratory.

In the case of taking the initiative, Tiangong Electronics Group has obtained a batch of equivalent technologies by relying on a batch of patents in CDROM format, which has enriched the technical background of Tiangong Electronics Group.

After everything was in order, Huo Jianning immediately joined the process of marketization of the CDROM standard.

Philips and Sony are not fools, so he has to race against time to grab market share as fast as possible!
