Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Shinagawa Ward, Sony Headquarters Building.

After 33 years of development since its establishment, Sony has grown into a multinational company listed in the United States.

Although it is still far from the Big Mac of later generations, Sony's name has a tendency to become synonymous with Japanese "technology and innovation" companies.

Hiroshi Ogawa hurried into the Sony Building, and when greeted by colleagues, he nodded perfunctorily and went straight to the internal research institute.

When he came to his department floor, Hiroshi Ogawa first found his technical director Heitaro Nakajima.

"Nakajima-san, have you heard of flashman?" Hiroshi Ogawa couldn't wait to get straight to the point when he met him.

"Flashman?" Heitaro Nakajima, who had hair in his fifties with a hair trend, asked back in confusion.

"Is this the code name of a newly launched product within Sony?"

Boshi Ogawa, who was still in a hurry, was a little dumbfounded. To be honest, if he hadn't read the magazine, he would have had similar thoughts when he first heard the name.

After all, a name like flashman is indeed Sony's naming style, pressman, watchman... are all Sony products.

"Nakajima-san, look." As he spoke, Hiroshi Ogawa directly handed the magazine in his hand to Nakajima Heitaro.

After taking the magazine and looking at the cover, Heitaro Nakajima began to look serious.

Then, while Hiroshi Ogawa waited quietly, Heitaro Nakajima, who was flipping through the magazine, looked more and more cold, and in the end, only anger remained.

"This is a shameless imitation, Hayakawa, immediately go to find out what this Shirakawa Electric is, and dare to ignore the existence of Sony.

In addition, Ogawa-san, as far as you know, how is this so-called flashman doing in the market? "

Someone in the research institute hurried out to check the details of Shirakawa Electric, and Heitaro Nakajima had already started discussing the market performance of Flashman with Hiroshi Ogawa.

"I don't know the specifics, but the earphones of this Shirakawa Electric are quite creative. As for this flashman..."

A disdainful smile appeared on Hiroshi Ogawa's face, "From the design point of view, it is very crude and can't be compared with our walkman at all. Presumably consumers will make wise choices."

At this moment, Hiroshi Ogawa doesn't know that the consumers outside have indeed made a wise choice, and flashman has already ushered in the first wave of panic buying.

However, his point of view is in line with Heitaro Nakajima's judgment on flashman.

As a technical researcher, he only needs to look at the appearance to know that this machine, which is similar to the Walkman, is taking the low-end route.

The reason why he was angry was because of Shirakawa Electric's shameless imitation. He was not worried about the market performance at all, and he didn't think flashman would pose a threat to walkman.

Knowing it well, he saw the title of the magazine in his hand at this moment, and even laughed a little dumbfounded.

Walkman's rival? Do you think "flash" can beat the opponent faster than "walk"?

Naive~

If you only compare whose name is more powerful, whoever can win.

Then what do they need technical researchers to do? Go find the master of naming.

With such a mentality, Heitaro Nakajima looks at the flashman in the magazine again, just like watching a clown.

Hayakawa, who had just left soon, had already returned to the laboratory with a stack of documents.

"Nakajima-san, please take a look. This Baichuan Electric is a bit special."

Hayakawa's expression at the moment was a little weird, and it was the first time he had seen such a wonderful club.

"Oh~ tell me in detail" Heitaro Nakajima asked while reading the documents.

"Baichuan Electric is a company that was just established this year, and its scale... is negligible."

Compared with Sony, Shirakawa Electric is indeed negligible.

"But the most interesting thing is the president of this club, Sang." Hayakawa used the term "interesting".

"According to the information I found, this Shirakawa Fengsang is still a college student, from a prestigious private school, Meiji University."

After listening to Hayakawa's introduction, not only Ogawa Hiroshi but even Nakajima Heitaro laughed.

Are the current college students so fearless? They ignore the existence of Sony, which is really a Showa manly spirit.

However, Bai Chuanfeng's information from Meiji University caught the attention of Heitaro Nakajima.

why?

Because he himself graduated from Meiji Technical College, and later applied for Tokyo Institute of Technology, and finally came to Sony.

In this way, the other party is still his apprentice.

Nakajima Heitaro shook his head with a smile again, and he handed the information in his hand to Hayakawa, "Report to Mr. Osone Kozo."

Osone Kozo is the head of the Tape Stereo Recorder Division, and it is better to leave these matters to him.

However, Hayakawa did not move. He looked at Heitaro Nakajima and said hesitantly, "Nakajima-san, Osone-san is already on vacation."

Nakajima Heitaro paused, then he remembered.

Because he led the development of walkman, this year Osone Kozo also really made great contributions to Sony.

And Sony's top management didn't treat him badly, except for various bonuses.

At Christmas, he also gave his family the special treatment of going to Hawaii, USA for vacation and fully reimbursed.

At this moment, Osone Kozo is enjoying the sun, beautiful women, and bikinis on the beach in Hawaii.

There is no mobile phone now, so I don't know how many twists and turns it will take to contact Kozo Osone.

And it doesn't seem like a wise choice to bother your boss when he's on vacation. Even if it's just a boss in name.

Thinking of this, Nakajima Heitaro is going to submit these materials to the current vice president of Sony, Norio Oga.

But before he could say anything, he stopped again. Norio Oga was hospitalized recently because of a car accident...

Heitaro Nakajima calculated the time, and most of the companies are already on holiday near the end of the year, and so is Sony.

He glanced at Bai Chuanfeng's information again, Meiji University...

Forget it, Heitaro Nakajima shook his head, and he returned the information to Hayakawa.

"Transfer these materials to the legal department and ask them to send a lawyer's letter to this Baichuan Electric.

Warn them to stop all production and sales of flashman within three days, and publicly apologize and compensate for their infringement in the media.

In addition, from now on, collect more detailed information on this Baichuan Electric.

Especially for the so-called flashman, we must carefully analyze some infringements of the other party.

If the other party has objections, immediately submit the collected information to the legal department and contact Osone-san. "

"Hay" Hayakawa led the way out.

These are all matters within the purview of Heitaro Nakajima, as for more actions, although it is fine to do it in his capacity.

But he doesn't want to do redundant things, do more and make more mistakes, and do less and make fewer mistakes.

Sony's interior is not as calm as it looks on the surface. There are many factions among various departments, so it's better to be on the safe side.

But having said that, I haven't been to Meiji for many years.

The students now seem to be more courageous than those who joined the Red Army back then.

I will work harder and stick to the third shift until the end of this week. back slowly~

thanks for your support!
