Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

There are so many unknown stories here, and Mie Yeyasu didn't know such important information about his meeting with Bao Zixuan. It seems that Sony's intelligence work is really poor. No wonder it never meets the standards of the chaebol family. It’s hard to comment on how big the gap is inside!

In fact, it was not difficult to see the expression on Iwasaki Koki's face when Morita Akio told Bao Zixuan about his meeting with Mie Noyasu; the old boy must have known about it in advance. Then there is only one possibility. Bao Zixuan's every move when he came to Japan was under his surveillance. It’s not completely transparent, but at least it’s clear who the important people are meeting!

The Iwasaki family is worthy of being a century-old family. They have a basic understanding of the situation in Japan; they can even know about any troubles immediately. Compared with the Morita family, they are much worse. Do you need to spend the necessary funds on intelligence? Otherwise, in front of Bao Zixuan and Iwasaki Koki, you will be no different from a transparent person.

But with the overall strength of the Morita family, including Sony, are they qualified to form an intelligence department? It’s not just a matter of money, but whether it’s necessary. Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group has established a firm foothold in the Middle East. Mitsubishi is a military industrial enterprise; it began to penetrate major arms manufacturers in the world a hundred years ago.

Although Japan suffered certain losses in the defeat, some of its troops still retained some of its troops. Therefore, when Japan's economy developed, an intelligence network was quickly established. After all, the previous foundation was very good, so there was no need to spend as much effort as other companies.

Akio Morita continued: "I still feel very deeply today. I used to think that after decades of rapid development, Sony is making progress every year. It is definitely one of the top companies in the world, at least in terms of market value."

"But Koki Iwasaki has already known about Bao Zixuan's arrival. He also knew everything about his meeting with Mie Noyasu. He probably also knew about the content of the conversation between the two. Sony, on the other hand, was much different. I used to be like two people. A black eye."

"It depends entirely on experience and business skills; if Sony does not change, it will never become one of the greatest companies."

Hearing what his father-in-law said, Morita Shunfu certainly understood what he meant. This is the amount of funds needed to establish an intelligence department; it is likely to be a bottomless pit.

Sony Investment Company also has market analysts, who are basically similar to investigators. They can only be regarded as the most junior intelligence personnel. They look at the financial statements released by Japanese companies and then analyze them.

It can be said that these are official data and have very low reference value.

The intelligence department that my father-in-law wants to establish now is a secret department. Each country has its own intelligence system, but there are not many companies that set up independent intelligence departments.

Small and medium-sized enterprises do not need it and cannot afford it. Large companies have stricter defenses; coupled with patent protection, it is not that easy to penetrate.

Of course, the most direct way to get back useful information and technology is to poach people from rival companies; otherwise, there is really no good way.

Morita Junfu: "The intelligence department is very expensive, and is it necessary for Sony to establish an intelligence department? What needs us to investigate."

This is a key question, whether it is necessary to establish an intelligence department. Unlike Mitsubishi and Heiyun Group, it has a military industry department; it can be said to be an arms manufacturer.

Sony is a civilian company, and the products it produces have very few military uses; they are dispensable.

When civilian companies develop new products and technologies, they basically apply for patents directly; the protection for this is still very strict. Even if you get technical information from a competitor company, you won't dare to blatantly produce it without authorization.

Military products are different. Advanced technologies and products have been developed; no one will apply for patents. Once the technology is made public, hostile countries will eradicate the technical characteristics of the public information and carry out counterattacks. Moreover, technology patents have expiration dates, and it is also a troublesome matter after expiration.

Therefore, arms manufacturers will set up intelligence departments; not only to inquire about the performance of the opponent's weapons and equipment, but also to obtain the opponent's technology.

But arms companies have government support behind them, while civilian companies do not have such treatment. Therefore, if Sony wants to establish an intelligence department, it must rely on itself. In addition, with no previous experience at all, it can be said that there is a long way to go.

Everything depends on man-made efforts. If we always stand still, how can families and businesses develop and grow?

As long as you get through the most difficult period, the future will definitely be bright.

Akio Morita: "You are right. Sony really has nothing to investigate. Could it be that we have been producing civilian products and military products are not involved at all."

"If you want to be a company that people admire, it's not just about how much profit you make; how much tax you pay; and what contribution you make to society. Because foreigners will never be grateful to us. After all, if Sony makes more money, domestic companies will make less. "

"The only people who really support us from the bottom of their hearts are probably the domestic people; Sony has been developing very well in recent years, while Mitsubishi has been in decline. But why do domestic people still recommend Mitsubishi first when it comes to Japanese companies?"

"That's because compared to Sony, Mitsubishi is definitely one of the most important players in the country. Sony has nothing but electronic products and games. Of course, it has also made certain breakthroughs in the computer field, but what does that mean? Comprehensive analysis , we still belong to the category of not-so-enterprises; it is difficult to get into the top management.”

"So if you want to take Sony to a higher level, you must involve military production. Bao Zixuan is not stupid. Why does he want to develop weapons and equipment, and he would not hesitate to destroy the corporate image for this? That is because he knows very well that his destiny must be controlled by himself. In hand."

“Especially after establishing a foothold in the Middle East, the desire for weapons and equipment has become even stronger.”

"Maybe it's not appropriate now, but Sony must have military production qualifications. Since it wants to enter a new field, it must show a desperate attitude."

"We will sell off all the stocks and real estate we hold, and after getting the funds, we will go to Germany. There are still many high-quality companies in Germany. If we randomly acquire one or two companies with military industry background, then Sony can naturally enter the military industry."

"Even if the acquisition fails, we can still find a way from Heiyun Group. Bao Zixuan definitely doesn't want to see Mitsubishi become the dominant company. This is our opportunity."

My father-in-law was thoughtful and Sony wanted to develop; it really needed to have military production capabilities. The more important a company's status is, the more resources it will receive.

Germany's determination to invest has been very clear in the past. Then there is no need to disobey his father-in-law's wishes, and he is still leading the team himself, so there will be no dissatisfaction.

Morita Shunfu said there is no problem and he will sell off his stocks and real estate as quickly as possible; he will never delay investment matters in Germany.

Seeing his son-in-law leaving, Akio Morita fell into deep thought; now he has no direction and doesn't know which direction he will take in the future. The times are developing too fast, and we can no longer keep up with the pace. But one thing is very important, and that is to maintain a close cooperative relationship with Bao Zixuan. I believe that Mr. Bao will surprise him. At least he is always at the forefront of the times.

Sony looked very prosperous and even acquired Columbia, a well-known Hollywood film company. But only you know the specific situation best. If it cannot rise to a higher level, it will surely decline in the future. It's like being at dusk right now. If you work hard, it will be dawn, and the future will be bright.

If it fails, it will live in endless darkness forever; if that happens, Sony will probably have no future.

Japan has many star companies, and so does the world. The update speed is very fast. If you cannot seize the opportunity, you will be eliminated by the market.

Bao Zixuan returned to the villa and saw Clay Clerk already waiting for him. I will meet with two Japanese tycoons tonight, and I will definitely give some instructions when I get back. Americans don't like to work overtime, but it depends on when. At this moment, the entire company is stepping up its efforts to sell Japanese real estate and stocks, but there is no right to rest.

Every second is profit, and a little carelessness will bring huge losses to the company; Clay Clark still knows the importance, which is what Bao Zixuan appreciates.

Although they only communicated briefly, Clay Clark's attitude towards his boss was already very clear. At the same time, I also understand what Iwasaki Koki and Morita Akio mean. Blackstone Fund has no other choice but to proceed resolutely according to the plan.
