Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's probing words, Nakajima Heitaro put down his wine glass pretending to be embarrassed.

"Brother, let's not hide the truth. Brother has something to ask today, so I ask you to think about it."

"Hey." Bai Chuanfeng put down his chopsticks in surprise, "What is it that makes senior brother so difficult?"

"Oh~" Nakajima Heitaro sighed, "Should my junior know that I am the president of Aihua right now?"

Bai Chuanfeng nodded, nonsense. You can become the president of Aihua, don't you have to thank us for your help?

In terms of face, Bai Chuanfeng has now reached the point where he ignores all verbal harm.

"It's not easy to be the president," Nakajima Heitaro said bitterly.

"Is Aihua encountering business difficulties?" He hadn't heard of it, and Bai Chuanfeng was a little curious.

Nakajima Heitaro's eyebrows became an embarrassment, "Although he missed, it's not far away~"

Bai Chuanfeng is interested, heck, don't make it too obvious.

"Brother, please explain in detail. If you can help, Baichuan Electric is obliged."

Nakajima Heitaro almost believed what he said in that righteous tone, if there was no compensation of 500 million yen.

But seeing Bai Chuanfeng personally pouring wine for himself, Nakajima Heitaro didn't care about the old rotten millet.

He raised his head and drank another glass of wine, and he didn't even have time to eat the delicious wagyu sushi in front of him.

Heitaro Nakajima began to pour out his bitterness, "The matter has to start from when my brother was working at Sony."

Unconsciously, after drinking a few cups of yellow soup, Heitaro Nakajima began to call himself a brother.

It seems that the relationship between the two people has really reached the point of intimacy.

And Bai Chuanfeng was also Zhiqu's support, nodding from time to time to approve every word the other party said.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, junior brother. I think that I have made some achievements in the field of CD technology."

"That's it." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, "Brother's level is obvious to all."

This is true. Heitaro Nakajima is the person in charge of Sony's leading technical team and joint research with Philips on CD technology.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the technology leaders.

In terms of the hard power of digital audio technology, the combined team of Baichuan Electric is not enough for him.

"However, after all the hard work I've put in for my brother, I still can't stand up to the villain's slander!"

The angry Nakajima Heitaro became more and more depressed as he talked, the wine glass in his hand was almost non-stop, and he drank several glasses of wine one after another.

"Senior brother said..." The gossip flames in Bai Chuanfeng's eyes began to rise.

"Osone Kozo!" With the strength of alcohol, Nakajima Heitaro spat out this name that made him hateful.

"Osone-san?" Bai Chuanfeng knew in his heart that he had heard some rumors before, but now it seems to be true.

"That guy used Da Hesang's trust to oppose me everywhere.

The most unacceptable thing this time is that I obviously made a contribution.

But he was sent to work in Aihua. The so-called president didn't even look at Aihua's situation at that time.

What is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, I bah! "As if reminded of the sad past, Nakajima Heitaro let out a vulgar pooh in such an elegant and quiet izakaya.

Uh, Bai Chuanfeng raised his glass in embarrassment and took a sip, slightly hiding his slight discomfort.

This matter has nothing to do with us.

Bai Chuanfeng felt that he was very innocent, how could his image of being so majestic and upright be related to these nasty things.

"Then what trouble is senior brother encountering now?" Bai Chuanfeng asked with concern.

"It still has something to do with that guy!" Nakajima Heitaro answered angrily.

For a moment, Bai Chuanfeng almost thought that "that guy" he was talking about was himself.

"Osone Kozo, this guy forced me to be my brother and continued to let Aihua carry out the Walkman business."

Bai Chuanfeng's expression changed.

"More than once, it happened once years ago.

Brother, to be honest, I am not interested in analog audio products like Walkmans.

Aihua has lost the opportunity in this business. Excessive investment is not a good thing. "

Faced with Nakajima Heitaro's complaints, Bai Chuanfeng nodded calmly.

"But under the slander of that guy Osone one after another, Sony's board of directors has issued orders.

Aihua must develop the Walkman business, whether locally or overseas.

In addition, all problems can be solved by ourselves, regardless of human, material and financial resources, or patent authorization.

How can they do this? !

I've done it for Sony! I have coded bricks for the pyramid of the CD patent! How could they do this to me! I want to see Oga Norio-san! "

Heitaro Nakajima slapped the table loudly, and the veins under his stiff neck popped.

And seeing his impassioned look, Bai Chuanfeng finally understood what this senior brother was doing today.

He slowly picked up the flagon and poured another glass of wine for Heitaro Nakajima. "So brother today is..."

"Cough" Heitaro Nakajima cleared his throat, the impassioned speech just now was quite exhausting.

"I heard that Panasonic and Hitachi have contacted my younger brother to discuss the overseas authorization of the Walkman?"

"That's right." Bai Chuanfeng nodded generously.

"I also heard that the younger brother has... plans to agree?" Heitaro Nakajima poured the wine for Bai Chuanfeng this time.

"Hmm~" Bai Chuanfeng replied speciously.

Nakajima Heitaro's eyes lit up, "Then junior thinks, Aihua here..."

Bai Chuanfeng looked at his senior brother with a half-smile, unexpectedly he was also an acting school.

Heitaro Nakajima felt a little embarrassed when Bai Chuanfeng saw it.

After all, Aihua's past plagiarism target is now sitting in front of him.

Now it is really embarrassing to ask for authorization from the other party.

"Brother, of course we can talk about overseas Walkman authorization."

Before Bai Chuanfeng finished speaking, Nakajima Heitaro showed joy on his face.

"But senior brother has to promise me one condition."

"What conditions?" Nakajima Heitaro subconsciously put away his expression, and he became nervous when he heard the junior discuss the conditions.

"It's very simple." Bai Chuanfeng smiled easily, "I just want to trouble my brother to take the time to give some advice to the team of Bai Chuan Electric, some minor problems encountered in the development of CD players."

"Junior brother, this is absolutely impossible!" Nakajima Heitaro rejected Bai Chuanfeng's proposal without hesitation.

What are you kidding? This is Sony's next strategic focus.

Others don't know, isn't Heitaro Nakajima, who is in charge of technology development, not clear?

If Sony finds out that he is an enemy, he probably won't be able to get away with it in the future.

Yusuke Mibe, the former president of Aihua who is currently stepping on the sewing machine, is the best example.

"Senior brother, don't be nervous. Junior brother didn't say it's now." Bai Chuanfeng explained slowly.

"Then..." Nakajima Heitaro didn't understand what he wanted.

"For example, after Sony's CD player comes to the market, or when Sony no longer has a direct interest in Senior Brother."

There was a flash of light in Bai Chuanfeng's eyes.

Um? Nakajima Heitaro looked thoughtful.

After Sony's CD player goes on the market, it is not impossible to consider such a case.

For new things, the first creator is almost the winner takes all.

If Sony launches its own CD player, there must be few competitors in the market at that time.

It's not that Heitaro Nakajima doesn't look down on Shirakawa Electric, but it's the same with any manufacturer.

Even Philips, the co-developer of the CD, is a bit unsatisfactory in the eyes of Heitaro Nakajima.

So if this is the case, it is not impossible to just mention a few vague words.

Anyway, it will not pose a threat to Sony, and the junior brother must have a strict tone, so this kind of thing will not be unclear.

As for, Sony no longer has a direct interest in itself...

Heitaro Nakajima felt that the junior was cursing himself, because he wanted to stay in Aihua forever and never go back to Sony.

"Brother, as long as you agree to this one. Not only the authorization, but also the price is negotiable. It can definitely be guaranteed to be at least 50% lower than other manufacturers."

this…

"Well, since the younger brother has said so, it would be too ignorant for my brother not to agree."

Hearing that the fee was reduced by half, Heitaro Nakajima agreed without hesitation.

It is not a big problem to raise one or two cryptic points, the key is to save a lot of money.

Patent authorization, mature products are determined according to the share.

The higher the output, the more the licensing fee will be. As for the one-time licensing fee.

Nakajima Heitaro believes that his junior is not so short-sighted.

So there is no doubt that a half reduction can save Aihua a lot of money.

"So, junior brother, about the patent licensing time...?" Nakajima Heitaro admitted that he was a little impatient, after all, Sony was pressing him hard.

Bai Chuanfeng smiled slightly, "The second half of the year will begin."

second half? Nakajima Heitaro nodded his approval after a little thought.

It's not impossible, it's only less than four months.

Even from now on, Aihua can already prepare for the overseas market in advance.

At that time, as soon as the time came, Aihua's Walkmans would be sold overseas directly.

Presumably such conditions, Sony can also explain the past.

"Brother, thank you for taking care of me." Nakajima Heitaro raised his glass.

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk." Bai Chuanfeng touched him, and they drank each other.

…

After drinking with Nakajima Heitaro until late at night in Roppongi, Bai Chuanfeng was ready to go home.

As far as this is, that senior brother is probably true, and he is a little chilled by Sony's actions.

He dragged Bai Chuanfeng to complain all kinds of things while holding on to the wine.

As a result, Bai Chuanfeng didn't drink much, but all the wine in the jug drank into his stomach.

Fortunately, I didn't go to renew the stall, otherwise Bai Chuanfeng would be a little bit overwhelmed.

Bai Chuanfeng, who was sitting in the back row of the car, dozed off with his eyes slightly squinted.

The driver of the small island in front was concentrating on driving, and the figures in the car flickered under the flickering lights on both sides of the road.

"Kojima-san, go to Shinjuku Sanchome."

Although "Hay" Kojima was surprised why he went to Shinjuku.

But as a tool man, he knows that he only needs to perform the task, and don't ask too much about the rest.

After a while, the Toyota Century parked downstairs in an apartment building in Shinjuku, and Shirakawa Kaede opened the door and got off.

"Come pick me up tomorrow morning"

"Hay"

Watching the taillights of the car go away, Bai Chuanfeng went straight to the destination upstairs with ease.

Who are you spending the night with today? Seiko Matsuda, of course.

Tsk, I haven't experienced that pair of little tiger teeth for almost a month.

Bai Chuanfeng felt that he was thinking strangely.

Look, isn't it here?
