Reinventing the Millennium

"Mr. Fang, will you go to Tokyo?"

When Kong Yu sat in front of his boss and watched Mr. Fang drinking tea calmly, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Yes, Sony's shareholders can't help but propose to hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting. The current board of directors and senior management must be reorganized." Fang Zhuo replied without hesitation, "I want to go and take a look."

"Uh, Mr. Fang, I saw that some Japanese media and TV stations invited you to discuss the situation of Japanese companies." Kong Yu added.

"Yes, there are quite a few invitations. They are happy to discuss the problems of Japanese companies over the years. This matter is quite interesting." Fang Zhuo fell into deep thought and planned to talk about his past experiences, but in a blink of an eye he saw the gasoline man's expression. He smiled and said, "When I attend the Sony shareholders' meeting, I should also accept two invitations."

Fang Zhuo is very interested in observing this situation up close.

Kong Yu verified his idea and started talking about the work at hand.

In general, the effect this time is still very good, and the public opinion and influence generated are stronger than imagined.

Kong Yu believes that one of the main reasons is to put Sony first.

Olympus was in internal strife among its own top management. It only pushed the media to invite its former CEO Woodford to New York to facilitate dissemination. In real terms, the first shot of "Wiki" was Sony, a world-famous company. s brand.

Sony has also been struggling internally for a long time.

How to put it, I can only say that it is easy to do it if you know the basics.

As for Takata and Kobe Steel, their products are verifiable, and it is difficult to refute what is posted on the "Wiki" without media follow-up and inspection.

In addition, Takada has a criminal record.

So, the process from one mess to four was relatively smooth.

Fang Zhuo listened with a smile. Compared with the situation of Yike and Bingxin, Gasoline Man's side is relaxed most of the time. In addition to having an additional media channel to break news and promote, whether it is short selling or profit, Fang Zhuo listened with a smile. When it comes to bundling, Kong Yu is very familiar with it.

There has been a big discussion in Japanese public opinion, but the gasoline man's reporting status is still very calm, and he can be called Mr. Kong.

"The situation of Kobe Steel has not yet been settled, but it should not change. Toyota is also among its customers." Kong Yu considered, "There will also be a push to file a class action lawsuit in California the day after tomorrow. Kobe Steel is involved There may be more than 150 customers around the world, and the scope of influence is relatively wide. We strive to get its president to bow early."

When Fang Zhuo heard the word "bow", he laughed and said: "Intensive bowing is really not a good thing. It has now evolved into a Japanese performance art."

In a short period of time, many fakes and high-level bows were made, whether it was Twitter, Facebook or YouTube, they were already mocking and making compilations, which actually made the incident spread faster.

Different topics also appeared on Twitter, "Have you bowed today?" "Who will bow next?" "Why hasn't Kobe Steel bowed yet?"...

Moreover, there are also bets on how many Japanese companies WikiLeaks will expose and how many days it will take to bow and apologize.

Except for the Japanese media, everywhere else is more carnival.

Oh yes, there are also parties involved...

Fang Zhuo had close contact with Sony executives and interacted with Nakahachi Ryoharu, Yoshioka Hiroshi and others. Although they seemed polite and talked about Sony's reforms in an orderly manner, they always showed a deep feeling from time to time. at a loss.

Outsiders can laugh at them and make them laugh, but they still have to do something...

How to do this, and whether it is possible...

The shock of Sony's 1.0 and 2.0 means that it has been in decline for at least ten years. This decadent process is really difficult for senior executives to maintain the confidence to move forward under today's circumstances.

It has to be said that Fang Zhuo observed Nakabachi Ryoharu, Yoshioka Hiroshi, Ishida Yoshihisa and Hirai Kazuo, and it turned out that Hirai Kazuo's mentality was more stable.

Kazuo Hirai feels like he is burning the boat, Ryoharu Nakahachi may be more selfish, Hiroshi Yoshioka is concerned about the burden of the TV business, and Yoshihisa Ishida seems to have a good-guy compromise.

The Sony organization has not yet been able to decide who will serve as CEO, but the exchange between Fang Zhuo and Stringer suggested that Yoshihisa Ishida is more appropriate.

He has a technical background, has achieved impressive results in recent years, and has not carried too much burden of losses.

If such a person is not a CEO, should he let Kazuo Hirai, who talks nonsense and sells things, be the CEO?

"We plan to wait for public opinion to digest the situation and see if there will be any movement from Kobe Steel before exposing the next one." Kong Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, "We don't know enough about Toshiba. Performance data The above is based on IDC’s calculations, so I don’t know if it’s okay to name Toshiba this time.”

Toshiba was included on the list because the IDC team believed that there were anomalies in Toshiba's financial reports and operating data. Later, Gasoline Man also found former Toshiba employees during his trip to Japan.

However, the level is not that core, and the testimony of former employees is not strong enough.

Therefore, Toshiba, which was thrown out somewhat vaguely after the four companies made it clear that they were committing fraud, is also trying to deceive. There must be something wrong with it, but the extent of the problem still needs to be calculated and guessed.

However, this year's Fukushima situation has dealt a heavy blow to Toshiba's nuclear business, not only in terms of financial fraud, but also in terms of losses, which can always hit part of the target.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly and pondered: "Japanese companies that are involved in fraud should be very concerned. Their media have begun to discuss what is going on. They also know that Japanese companies have not performed well in recent years."

"We hope they will be more sensitive, so that we will not let down Olympus, Sony, Takata and Kobe Steel." Kong Yu smiled.

Fang Zhuo thought about Toshiba's situation, and still felt that judging from the nature of contact with Japanese companies, it was almost the same.

However, just when he and Gasoline Man were planning to wait for public opinion to digest and Kobe Steel's reaction, a situation happened that they did not expect.

On October 23, the vice president of Kobayashi Chemical, a well-known Japanese pharmaceutical company, was interviewed by TV Tokyo and reported that the company had tampered with data and false records on at least 40 drugs over the past 40 years.

Before WikiLeaks updates, someone in Tokyo has already come out to fight for their lives!

40 years!

It directly refreshed Olympus's counterfeiting record and doubled the counterfeiting time!

Moreover, this time it is a new area of ​​counterfeiting by Japanese companies!

The "Wall Street Journal" directly printed a new headline - "Be wary of Japanese companies."

Without waiting for the company's response or third-party inspection, the heavy-hitting media couldn't help but strike first and tell later in the current public opinion situation. Did the Japanese company sign up to participate in a fake team-building activity?

Not only did he wait for others to call his name, he also started volunteering to come out.
