Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

This meeting is no longer a unilateral communication between Shirakawa Electric and Sony, and one of the parties participating in the meeting is the protagonist of the infringement incident, Aihua.

Due to the large number of participants, the meeting room was changed to a larger place this time.

Sony and Aihua occupied one side of the long conference table, and Baichuan Electric was alone.

After several parties sat down, Bai Chuanfeng turned his attention to the Aihua delegation opposite. He wanted to meet the legendary talent, Sanbiansang.

However, Mibe Yusuke did not see him, but saw an unexpected acquaintance.

His dear senior brother, Nakajima Heitaro-san.

Bai Chuanfeng blinked his eyes and didn't understand why he appeared in the Aihua delegation, and he was still the most central position!

But no matter what, seeing this senior, Bai Chuanfeng still showed a kind and enthusiastic smile.

However, Nakajima Heitaro turned his head angrily when he saw Shirakawa Kaede's overly enthusiastic expression.

Don't look at me, we don't know each other well.

Uh, Bai Chuanfeng withdrew his eyes for some confusion, why did this senior brother suffer?

But you can't ignore people, Bai Chuanfeng feels a little wronged.

"Cough" Ohe Norio, who was sitting at the top, coughed lightly, which caught everyone's attention.

"Nakajima Heitaro-san will take over as the president of Aiwa Co., Ltd. in a week.

In today's meeting, you can make decisions on behalf of Aihua. "

Bai Chuanfeng was stunned, my good fellow, is this senior promoted to become the sole president Sang?

But thinking of Aihua's current situation, Bai Chuanfeng turned his eyes a little guilty, we really don't know each other well.

Speaking of Nakajima Heitaro being able to take over as the president of Aihua, that was strongly recommended by Osone Kozo.

The reason is very good. The development of CD has basically been completed, and the format standard will be announced to the outside world after a while.

As the core force among developers, Nakajima Heitaro-san should be rewarded.

Speaking of rewards, there is nothing more tangible than a promotion. It is reasonable to be promoted from the director of the Research Institute of the Walkman Division to the president of Aiwa Corporation.

Tsk, as expected of a big company, the personnel relationship is really complicated.

"Sitting here today, you must also know the purpose of this meeting.

I hope that everyone will solve the problem with an attitude of consultation and communication, and reduce meaningless and unreasonable suggestions and requests. "

Before the meeting started, Norio Ohga first stated the minutes of the meeting.

Because he knows that what is called a meeting is actually a negotiation, and quarrels and differences may be unavoidable.

But he still hopes that the two parties can communicate harmoniously and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Because of this turmoil outside, there has been arguing for more than half a month.

Even Sony has felt the pressure from outside parties, and the group hopes to deal with it quickly and turn the chapter over as soon as possible.

Regarding Norio Oga's proposal, both Shirakawa Kaede and Aiwa's acting president Heitaro Nakajima nodded in approval, and this bit of face should be given to Norio Oga.

Besides, if Aihua can accept Baichuan Electric's conditions, who would want to quarrel with him every day, wouldn't he be happy to work hard to sell products to make money?

"Since that's the case, Bai Chuan-san, please let us know if you have any demands." Seeing that neither Bai Chuanfeng nor Aihua had any objections, Norio Oga went straight to the topic of the meeting.

As soon as Norio Ohe finished speaking, the legal representative of Shirakawa Electric immediately got up to speak.

The request is still the same, 1 billion yen + public apology + immediately stop all sales activities of Walkmans.

"It's impossible," Heitaro Nakajima, who was still reluctant just now, retorted immediately.

"The total sales of Aiwa Walkman is less than one-third of 1 billion yen. Such a request is really difficult."

"However, it is also true that Aihua plagiarized, which brought huge losses to Baichuan Electric.

All the designs of Flashman need to be overthrown and rebuilt, and Aihua must bear the cost of this part.

In addition, because Aihua's products are too similar to those of Baichuan Electric, many consumers have sent their complaints about Aihua's quality to Baichuan Electric.

This has caused great damage to the reputation of Baichuan Electric, and Aihua must also compensate for this. "

When it came to talking about conditions, Bai Chuanfeng also selectively forgot that the person sitting opposite was the senior he had just mentioned.

And my 1 billion yen is not just for nothing, you see how good the reason is, it has nothing to do with how many Walkmans you Aihua sold.

"You..." Nakajima Heitaro was impatient, "Even if the design is redesigned, it will definitely not cost that much."

"Well, Baichuan Electric's technical team is small, the development cycle is too long, and the salaries are relatively high. Brother, these are all costs."

Bai Chuanfeng sipped his coffee, and the old god explained something.

Seeing his appearance, Nakajima Heitaro simply ignored him, and turned to find Norio Ohga.

"Da Hesang, you know. Baichuan Electric's requirements are too harsh, and Aihua cannot agree to such conditions."

Dahe Noorixiong glanced at both sides, and then spoke.

"You are all manufacturers of audio consumer products, and you must be very clear about sales profits and various costs."

"So" Norio Oga sat upright, "I propose that Aihua pay Shirakawa Electric 500 million yen to compensate for the infringement, reputation loss and artificial redevelopment costs."

"Great He-san!..." Heitaro Nakajima was about to object subconsciously, and the price still far exceeded his expectations.

Norio Ohga raised his hand to signal Nakajima Heitaro to be calm, but his eyes were always on Shirakawa Feng. "What does Bai Chuan-san think?"

500 million yen, Bai Chuanfeng quickly calculated in his mind.

According to Shirakawa Electric's internal estimates, Aihua's total sales of Walkmans for the past half month is only around 300 million yen.

Moreover, the shipping time was mainly concentrated in the first week, and because of Baichuan Electric's decisive move in the later period, sales almost stagnated.

Not only that, even most retailers have protested to the headquarters of Aihua to return the goods.

So in general, Aihua has lost a lot this time, and 500 million yen is probably already its payment limit.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuanfeng nodded. "Baichuan Electric accepts this amount of compensation, but Aihua must publicly apologize for his actions."

This is what should be done. Even if Bai Chuanfeng didn't make such a request, he would take the initiative to bow and apologize according to Xiaotian's urine.

After all, in the case of overwhelming evidence, any sophistry is powerless.

So neither Oga Norio nor Nakajima Heitaro spoke out against it. But the latter still seemed a little reconciled.

After all, as the president Sang, the loss of the interests of the club will be the evaluation object of his performance during his tenure.

If Heitaro Nakajima wants to return to Sony in the future, then he must protect Aihua's interests.

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng didn't act like a demon anymore, Dahe Norio also let out a sigh of relief, "Then this meeting will be here..."

"etc"

The sudden sound made Norio Ohga change color, and Nakajima Heitaro shivered as if in stress.

Uh, Bai Chuanfeng let go of his hands embarrassingly, I was just making a speech, is there any need to be so nervous?

"Shirakawa-san, is there anything else you want to add?" Norio Oga's expression became serious again.

Replenish? Of course there is. Bai Chuanfeng coughed lightly, "I have no objection to Aihua's terms of compensating Bai Chuan Electric.

But the compensation conditions are over, so shall we talk about the infringement issue next? "

"Bai Chuan-san, please don't go too far, Aihua has already paid the price for her actions."

Nakajima Heitaro complained with righteous indignation, this Meiji teacher... Bah, bullshit junior, he is a rogue.

Heitaro Nakajima regretted it very much at the moment, regretting what he should have done at the beginning.

When he received the letter from Shirakawa Electric's lawyer at the beginning of the year, he should have passed it directly to Oga Noriyusan, so there must be no such troubles like now.

"Brother, you can't say that." Although Heitaro Nakajima abused him thousands of times in his heart, Bai Chuanfeng still called him "brother" affectionately.

"Aihua's compensation is for the plagiarism of Baichuan Electric, but the matter of the patent infringement of the Walkman Patent Alliance has not been clarified yet.

What do you think, Big Hesang? "Bai Chuanfeng deliberately put the word alliance very seriously.

Dahe Nianxiong hesitated, but Bai Chuanfeng didn't mention it, he almost forgot about it.

Aihua's Walkman is not only suspected of plagiarism, but also an infringement issue.

What was copied was the design of Shirakawa Electric, and what was infringed was Sony's local patent.

Perhaps Sony deliberately ignored this issue in order to protect its own interests, but Bai Chuanfeng was not stupid.

Still the same sentence, I am also a member of the patent alliance, Sony doesn't care, but I, Shirakawa Electric, care.

Infringe the patent right, you have to give an explanation. But don't forget that I hold an overseas authorization in my hand.

Apparently Norio Ohga also wanted to understand this point, but was confused by Bai Chuanfeng's straightforward response to the conditions just now.

Whether it is Norio Oga or others, they all think that the matter has come to an end.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chuanfeng used the patent as an excuse to take Sony into the army again.

It's true that it was aimed at Aihua, but Sony is also within the scope of Bai Chuanfeng's target.

He is very clear that Aihua is absolutely not authorized by Sony, and he also understands that even if Sony pays attention to this at the moment, they will happily pretend to be confused.

If you are dissatisfied, at worst, you will reprimand Aihua in private, after all, it is an internal matter of the group.

But if it is spread on the table, obviously there will be more variables.

For example, faced with Bai Chuanfeng's accusation at this time, Sony couldn't think of a suitable argument or a reason to evade it.

There was an eerie silence in the conference room for a while.

"Da He Sang" Bai Chuanfeng was the first to break the silence in the end, "May I take a step to speak?"

Everyone in the meeting room was stunned, this is...

Norio Ohe pondered for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.

So under the attention of everyone, Bai Chuanfeng and Oga Norio got up and walked to the lounge next door.

Heitaro Nakajima really wanted to get up and go there together, but he also knew that this must be some kind of private transaction.

Whether Aihua can retreat safely in this negotiation may be left in this private compromise.

thanks for your support!
