Reinventing the Millennium

The departure of Shigehisa Takada was shocking, but the audience was not dissatisfied.

On the contrary, many rare cheers erupted from the usually dull and depressing recording scene.

Mr. Fang’s sharpness is as sharp as this issue of Japanese company’s fraud!

Mr. Fang’s ferocity is as ferocious as the wave of public opinion sweeping the country!

Mr. Fang's storm is just like this sudden storm!

It's sharp, it's ferocious, it's violent, it's stormy. The fact that he's sitting here at this moment fits perfectly with the background of this fraud!

No wonder he was invited as a guest!

Because the program was recorded, the host Toda Tobi had to interrupt the scene to ask for instructions from the leader.

"Mr. Fang, do you think Takata will really go bankrupt?" Son Zhengyi adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and then asked Mr. Fang after hearing the whispers from the audience.

Sun Zhengyi has made very successful investments in China. Although today is the first time he meets Mr. Fang, he has known him for a long time and understands his style of doing things.

It's just that seeing him is better than hearing it. Only when he saw this person did he feel like the "head of the Yike Department", "the venture capital hunter" and the "mysterious man" suddenly came to life.

Fang Zhuo looked at the famous investor in surprise and asked, "Would Takata still go bankrupt in this situation?"

What's going on, are you just chatting with me, or do you really think there's still a chance of improvement? Is this the vision of a well-known investor like you?

Fang Zhuo suddenly felt that he hadn't interacted with this group of investment people for a while.

"Takata also has a history of 78 years." Son replied with a sigh.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "It seems like it has allowed it to live a few more years."

Son Zhengyi: "..."

The host and the leader negotiated urgently for ten minutes. Fang Zhuo saw that he had already talked to all three people here, but there was still no movement over there. He couldn't help but suggest: "It doesn't matter if one person is missing. Otherwise, let's start like this. .”

Tokuda Tobi responded politely: "If one person is missing, it will not be neat enough, not symmetrical enough, and there will be no beauty."

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he didn't know if he was joking with himself, but he continued to provide suggestions: "Can you find someone from Toyota, so that we can discuss the impact of this automobile industry chain together?"

Tokuda Fei replied with some embarrassment: "They have clearly rejected it before."

Fang Zhuo changed his mind. Looking at their appearance, the invitations from other families were probably rejected.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll ask Sony if they can come over. They are also facing setbacks and want to reform. Their losses are also due to many factors. Maybe they are willing to discuss it together."

After an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, Sony appointed a new management team headed by CEO Yoshihisa Ishida. The loss was a hat on the head of the previous management, as if everything was facing innovation.

What is slightly less beautiful is that Yoshida Ishida's speech was inappropriate, which caused some minor ridicule.

Fang Zhuo called Ishida directly, but Ishida had just been ridiculed by the media and was worried about being exposed to the public eye, so he called Nakaba Ryoji instead.

Ryoji Nakabachi is neither up nor down in this change, which means that he is being held up as before.

"Mr. Fang, how could you call me?" Nakabachi Ryoji was a little incredulous after hearing what Mr. Fang said.

"I think you are idle when you are idle." Fang Zhuo gave the reason.

In less than half an hour, Nakabachi Ryoji, who was also idle, sat in the dock.

Instead of Takata's CEO, there is a director who is a veteran of Sony's three dynasties, which brings out the beauty of symmetry.

The recording of the program was interrupted for a long time. Nissan's Ghosn has a more outgoing personality and was already sitting on the table chatting with Fang Zhuo. Although Nissan suffered an unreasonable disaster this time, the overall trend is still good. It is not comparable to those counterfeiting companies in the whirlpool. .

However, after Takada Shigehisa had no choice but to leave the stage, the host and guests were more cautious in speaking, for fear that Mr. Fang would say "please start from XX" again.

Fang Zhuoyun was calm and did not intend to compete for the picture. Instead, he listened carefully to the speeches of other guests.

Masayoshi Son invests in many industries. He can talk about the decline of Japanese manufacturing and Japanese brands in recent years from an investment perspective. He believes that it is precisely because of this decline that more fraud has occurred.

Tadashi Yanai, the richest man in Japan, is not a familiar figure to Fang Zhuo, but one of his group's brands is very famous, Uniqlo. This time he also talked about some situation observations and believes that it will still be limited to local areas.

When the failed 3+1 Warriors began to be asked about their respective companies' problems by the host, Toshiba Vice President Yukihei Nakamori, who came here to reverse public speculation, unconsciously glanced at Mr. Fang who was listening before picking up the microphone. .

When Nakamori Yukihei agreed to the program invitation, he had already made up his mind to defend Toshiba with an angry attitude.

However, now that it was his turn to speak, he felt that he should not be too angry and that it would be more appropriate to be tactful and gentle. When there was no response from Jianfang, he relaxed a little and started talking about Toshiba's future business development.

The general idea is that Toshiba can still shine with new glory after a century.

"cough."

Fang Zhuo cleared his throat.

The focus of the show seemed to have suddenly shifted.

Nakamori Keihei forced himself to say a few words before ending his speech early, and then asked meekly: "What different views does Mr. Fang have?"

"Although the outside world thinks that Toshiba may be committing fraud, I think this is a very frustrating thing if it is not confirmed." Fang Zhuo said impartially, "It's okay if it is true, but it's okay if it's not true, but it's unjust. It’s not easy to prove it to yourself, it’s really uncomfortable.”

He continued: "So, I think since Toshiba has denied this, it is okay not to discuss it. However, I just heard Mr. Nakamori say that this nuclear power business still has great development prospects, so I am a little confused."

Fang Zhuo reminded: "The leakage in Fukushima this year has not been dealt with yet."

There are three suppliers to the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and Toshiba is one of them.

When Nakamori Qinghei heard this, he replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "This matter is already being actively handled, and all of us are trying our best to find the most appropriate solution."

"What does the word 'try your best' mean?" Fang Zhuo asked first, without giving the other person time to answer, and continued, "I mean, before the Fukushima nuclear power plant is properly handled, I'm afraid Toshiba's nuclear power business around the world will languish. It is another project that you have invested a lot in. You said that Toshiba's prospects are still very good and persuaded everyone to continue to hold stocks. This is not..."

He spread his hands and said, "Isn't this lying with open eyes?"

Nakamori Qinghei only felt that what was supposed to come would always come. Using Mr. Fang’s identity as the starting point, he asked: "I didn’t expect that Fang Zhuo also knew about the nuclear power business. I just haven’t heard that Yike also has technical research in this area." ?”

"Yike is not involved in this direction, and I really don't understand the market in this direction." Fang Zhuo admitted this first, and then said, "But from our common sense, the Fukushima leak is like a bone stuck in the throat. This bone is not Take it out or not swallow it, how can Toshiba continue to develop its global market smoothly?"

Nakamori Kei said calmly: "Mr. Fang, the nuclear power market has its own different situations."

Fang Zhuo looked at the host at this time, then looked sideways at the audience, and said: "I have respect for Japanese manufacturing, so I am particularly surprised by the counterfeiting incident this time, precisely because there are many people like me around the world. Only now is there such an uproar.”

"I believe that many, many people know the 'craftsman spirit', which is the inherent persistence of the success of Japanese manufacturing in the past decades."

He asked a question: "Then what is the 'craftsman spirit'?"

Masayoshi Son, who was standing next to him, replied: "We are seriously spending energy and time on long-term product polishing."

"Yes, Mr. Sun's words are very simple, and the spirit of craftsmanship is so simple." Fang Zhuo sighed, "So, Takata has spent decades focusing on automotive safety equipment, from making seat belts to making airbags, and has won the The trust of global car manufacturers and markets has given the brand a 78-year life."

"Sony is 65, Takata is 78, Panasonic and Olympus are 93, and Toshiba is 136."

“These brands, which even last longer than a person’s long life, together shape the global image of Made in Japan.”

"However, this image has been greatly damaged now. I think about it, isn't this because these brands have forgotten their original intentions, abandoned their principles, and no longer adhere to the spirit of craftsmanship?"

"Not serious, or in other words, not serious, and profit-oriented, or short-term profit-oriented. This is the most distressing part of this crisis."

Fang Zhuo's speech on such occasions has always been very contagious. When he used the word "sad", many in the audience felt really sad.

He is from China, but almost everyone present was Japanese, and they were all extremely proud of Japanese brands and "Made in Japan".

Sun Zhengyi was also touched by what he heard, but then he realized that no wonder Mr. Fang once had the title of "Venture Capital Hunter" in China. His mouth was really like a gun and a sword.

At this time, Nakamori Yukihei once again corrected Mr. Fang’s wording that juxtaposed “136-year-old Toshiba” with counterfeiting companies: “Mr. Fang, you yourself just said that the so-called revelations and slanders are difficult to explain, so why are you participating in smearing Toshiba’s image like this? "

Fang Zhuo ignored him, faced the camera, and talked eloquently: "I was invited here this time, and it was said that I wanted to 'face failure and talk about problems', but how to face and talk directly? Is Shigehisa Takada willing to face it frankly? Are you willing to be objective? Conversation?”

He shook his head slightly and gave his own answer: "It is precisely because they are difficult to face directly both subjectively and objectively that we need to face them directly. If they cannot face it directly, then we should talk about it seriously and more seriously. Otherwise, it is not enough. to cut the problem apart.”

Fang Zhuo took out his mobile phone and admitted again: "As President Zhongsen said, I really don't understand the nuclear power market, and Yike doesn't understand nuclear power technology, but I can find people who do, and I can listen to the opinions of professionals. "

There were some changes in Nakamori Yukihei's expression.

Host Tokuda Tobi said: "Mr. Fang said there is an off-site connection?"

"Oh, yes, you people who produce programs often see such links, right?" Fang Zhuo nodded, "So, let's test the spirit of craftsmanship and see if it is, as President Zhongsen said, global The nuclear power business is still in good shape, but this market has different conditions."

Nissan's Ghosn did not wait for others to speak, and first agreed: "This verification is very convincing."

Tadashi Yanai of Fast Retailing Group also nodded slowly. Mr. Fang's words may be a bit harsh, but without looking at the problem in detail, who can know whether there is a problem and how serious it is?

Nakamori Yukihei wanted to speak, but what he said just now was very satisfying, and he couldn't object now. He was on pins and needles for a while, but he had a hopeful thought in his heart. If Mr. Fang didn't do this on weekdays, he would really be able to find people who know more about the market. ?

Five minutes later, Fang Zhuo said: "My assistants are still helping to contact me. The first person I can call here is Commissioner Barry of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC."

Close-up of the camera, he clicked dial, and then clicked on the voice-over he liked.

The whole audience held their breath and listened to the beeps coming from their mobile phones.

20 seconds, connected.

"Hi, Barry, I'm Fang Zhuo from Yike. Did Karl tell you just now? I was doing research on a program and I don't know much about the future development trend of the global nuclear power market. I want to hear your opinion." Fang Zhuo mentioned a friend from the golf club.

Barry's voice was very rich, and he knew in advance who was on the other side, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry I can't answer you."

Fang Zhuo was a little surprised, what happened? A friend of a friend is no longer a friend?

Nakamori Yukihei felt relieved. The guests and the audience were also very surprised by the words of the American NRC committee member. Perhaps they could not talk about this topic easily considering that it would involve multiple impacts?

Barry laughed: "The global nuclear power market has no future."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Comrade Barry, you know how to be brief and to the point, and there could never be a clearer answer than this.

Nakamori Yukihei couldn't take a deep breath and suddenly coughed violently.

Fang Zhuo was caught off guard by this answer. He calmed down and asked conventionally: "Barry, why did you say that?"

"The Fukushima situation in March was very serious." Barry mentioned the black swan factors without hesitation, and gave an example, "As far as I know, Canada has already delayed the launch of two nuclear reactors, and India has suspended the approval of new ones. Regarding nuclear power projects, projects that have been approved in the past must also be reviewed, and European countries will definitely re-examine them.”

"The global nuclear power market still exists, but the Fukushima incident must have put a sudden brake on nuclear power construction."

"In the next few years, Mr. Fang, you will definitely see more countries reducing their nuclear power plans."

Barry seemed very serious when talking about these, and said: "If you are interested in these, I suggest you consider it carefully."

He knew that the person opposite him was a rich man, so he gave him a friendly reminder, and then went on to talk about the new review of Toshiba's two nuclear power projects launched in the United States.

"Thank you, Barry, for giving me the best reminder." Fang Zhuo thanked him, "I heard you mentioned Europe. Can you give me some numbers in related fields in Europe?"

Barry is in charge.

Fang Zhuo pressed the end button, looked at Yukihei Nakamori, whose face turned dark, and waited ten seconds before seeing the number sent by Barry.

"This committee member may not understand. Let's listen again." He said to the camera.

This time the call was to Grosso, the German expert.

However, as Barry said, the market still exists, but the Fukushima leak has slammed the brakes on global nuclear power construction. The German expert holds the same view.

Nakamori Yukihei's face turned from black to white. Seeing that Mr. Fang was about to make a third call, he finally couldn't help but stop him: "That's enough! Mr. Fang!"

He shouted: "What are you doing!"

Fang Zhuo put his phone on the table and said solemnly: "This is the spirit of craftsmanship!"

Nakamori Yukihei gritted his teeth and understood the problem better than the audience. He asked this question with such a craftsman. It may not matter whether Toshiba fakes or not. The decline in future business prospects is the most important!

Mr. Fang’s craftsmanship is not at all, he is like a gust of rain hitting the banana trees!

The wind is very bad and the rain is very dirty!
