Rebirth of the Tech Madman
Chapter 39: Visit Epson
Ginza, located in the central district of Tokyo, Japan, is a world-renowned bustling center alongside the Champs Elysées in Paris and the Fifth Avenue in New York. The three major attractions of Japan’s nature, history, and modernity are Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Ginza, and Ginza. The value of this is evident.
Wako Department Store is located in the center of Ginza. The clock tower on the top floor is a landmark in the Ginza area. At every hour during business hours, a bell will ring to tell the time. It is a famous sight.
Such a treasured land of geomantic omen is owned by Seiko Epson's parent company-Seiko, and the meeting place between Tang Huan and Epson is arranged here.
While the other party showed his enthusiasm for hospitality, it might not be a show of strength. Tang Huan wondered while waiting for the host's arrival.
It didn’t take long for a few Japanese men to walk in. "Mr. Tang, I’ve kept you waiting, I’m Hideaki Yaskawa, and this is our president, Mr. Reijiro Hattori."
Tang Huan looked at the other party and was secretly satisfied. The reception was of very high standards. Hideaki Yaskawa will become the president of Epson in the future. He reversed Epson’s decline and took Epson to the public market. Reijiro Hattori is the founder of Seiko Hattori. Taro's grandson became the patriarch after his brother died in 1987.
After Hideaki Yaskawa's introduction, one of the entourages began to translate in English.
This is not a diplomatic occasion, but to sit down and talk about business. There is no need to waste time on details. So after the translation is finished, Tang Huan directly spoke in Japanese: "It is a great honor to meet both of you."
Listening to Tang Huan’s standard Tokyo accent, the faces of Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki unanimously showed surprises and surprises.
"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so proficient in Japanese, it is really surprising." Hattori Reijiro smiled in disguise.
"I have been involved in several of the most popular languages in the world." Tang Huan said proudly, and at the same time he snorted in his heart. Brother's Japanese level is very high, and he doesn't only understand the words and phrases in island action movies. , Don't want to play tricks when negotiating.
"Mr. Tang's talent is admirable." Hideaki Yaskawa politely flattered, "Mr. Tang came to Japan, he must be overwhelmed by his busy schedule, and it is inevitable to be tired. Our itinerary is to let Mr. Tang take a day off. There is something here in Tokyo. There are many unique attractions, you might as well have a look."
"Thank you for your kind words, it is not necessary at all. I now want to go to Epson to visit it on the spot. After learning about your technical capabilities, I can explore the possibility of in-depth cooperation in the future."
Tang Huan waved his hand, and directly refused. Although his speech was elegant, his attitude was arrogant, even rude.
However, Tang Huan wanted this effect. To a large extent, Japan is also a human society. Faced with such a powerful partner like itself, before the negotiation, we will have a sugar-coated cannonball. Maybe we will squeeze in a few soft girls who warm the bed. If the string of "clothes with water" is loose, and if you can't bear to make concessions, you will lose a lot.
Therefore, Tang Huan deliberately made a look of arrogance and disrespect, opened the distance between each other, anyway, the other party had to pinch his nose to recognize. You know, in the original time and space, when Jobs visited Japanese IT companies in order to find disk drives for MAC, he was extremely rude and rude, but he still received warm hospitality.
In the final analysis, the status in the market is earned by strength.
Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki looked at each other. This Mr. Tang didn't seem to be very good at dealing with each other. They all glanced at Sun Zhengyi in unison, and seemed to be inquiring about some information on this person.
In fact, this is also the reason why Tang Huan brought Sun Zhengyi here. To sing red-faced and white-faced, someone has to divide the work and cooperate.
Although Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki felt that their kindness was ignored by Tang Huan, and felt a little unhappy, but the other party's proposal to visit Epson first is indeed understandable. In that case, just follow what they mean.
……
Seiko Epson is located in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, 200 kilometers away from Tokyo. It can be said that this is a rural area.
The reason why is so remote may be related to the origin of Epson.
In 1942, Yamazaki Hisao founded Yamato Industry here, and the Hattori family also set up related industries here.
In the 1950s, the two were merged and reorganized to become Epson. Of course, the main business at that time was research and development and production of watches.
In 1964, Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games. Epson, who worked hard to seize this opportunity, defeated the Swiss watch competitor and became a supplier of timing tools for competitions. Since then, the brand of Seiko watches has gone global. In the future, South Korea's Samsung sponsored Seoul in 1988. The Olympic Games to expand brand awareness may not be the same as this case.
In 1968, in 1968, in order to conveniently record the timing results, Epson used the precision processing technology accumulated in the research and development of watches to launch the world's first small electronic printer EP-101, and since then entered the printer field, and the name of Epson was born.
To some extent, the printer may be an unintentional work, but it has now shown a huge business opportunity, and Epson naturally cannot let it go.
Tang Huan had to rush to Epson directly for a visit at his own pace, which really disrupted the arrangements made by Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki in advance, but could he take this opportunity to gain a certain amount of initiative in the subsequent negotiations? Unknown, because Epson's welcome ceremony was neat and calm.
Accompanied by Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki, as well as a group of ministers and section chiefs, Tang Huan prestigiously began to visit Epson.
During this period, the printer business accounted for a small proportion of Epson's overall industry. Tang Huan confirmed this conclusion when he walked out of the machine department. But who has the strong technical background for making watches? It's really easy to come here.
Don’t look at Tang Huan’s true color to Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki, but he shows great respect for these engineers. When visiting, he often talked about technology with joy and laughter, especially when he encountered the invention of the world’s first LCD. Yamazaki was very enthusiastic when he was a display digital quartz watch.
Seeing this, Hattori Rejiro and Yaskawa Hideaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this Mr. Tang does not have an opinion on us Japanese, but his original style of work, preferring to mingle with technicians.
During this period, Epson gave a gift~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is no doubt that it is their proud work, Seiko watches, or luxury goods.
For this, Tang Huan is deeply grateful. For the sake of courtesy, he intends to use the method of graciousness and not expensive to give a painting as a gift, so it also seems that he has a cultural level.
Seeing that Tang Huan was about to paint, a black line appeared on Hattori Rejiro's forehead. This Mr. Tang really remembered that one appearance was one appearance, but he couldn't be rude, so hurry up and prepare tools.
After a while, Tang Huan started to show off his painting skills with a splash of ink.
Not far from Epson is Lake Suwa. The scenery is good, so it becomes the background in the painting.
When Hideaki Yaskawa came over to inform that the welcome banquet was ready, Tang Huan’s paintings were also completed, and he showed off his calligraphy, and wrote the words Suwa Lake.
Hattori Reijiro looked at this gift in return, and his face couldn't help showing an expression of appreciation.
As the third generation of the Hattori family, and Seiko watches are often associated with the terms of fashion and luxury goods, Hattori Reijiro naturally possesses a certain level of identification. In addition, everyone belongs to the Confucian cultural circle, and it is easy to find common ground in artistic understanding. He can see that Tang Huan's calligraphy and painting are outstanding.
This Chinese named Tang Huan is a bit unpredictable, speaks Japanese, understands art, and seems to know Japan well.
In this way, there is no barrier to communication, but at the same time, don't want to be sloppy in business negotiations.
Thinking of this, Hattori Reijiro started to worry about gains and losses.
