Rise up Hong Kong! Build a super wealthy Zhuang family

Chapter 154 Chapter 154: The struggle between the two giants Sony and Fuji

While Zhuang Rongxu, Yasuda Kimurao and the others were chatting happily on the side, at the same time on the other side of the venue, an old man looked at Zhuang Rongxu and the others curiously.

"Sugimoto, do you know the young man chatting with Yasuda Kimura-san?" The old man asked the man next to him doubtfully.

Then the man looked in the direction the old man pointed. When he saw Zhuang Rongxu, he immediately recognized him: "President, he is the chairman of Xiangjiang Dingsheng Company. I have met him."

This person is none other than Okamoto Sumimoto, the executive chairman of the Sony Group in R country, and the old man is Akio Morita. He had met Zhuang Rongxu when he went to Xiangjiang to discuss the acquisition, so now he recognizes him at a glance. Out.

"Is he the chairman of Dingsheng Company?" Morita Akio suddenly asked with interest.

"Hey, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that."

"Yoshi, I didn't expect him to come over to the reception. How about this? You can help me invite him over later. I want to talk to him." Akio Morita said with a smile, his eyes never leaving Zhuang Rongxu.

"President, now that Dingsheng Company has cooperated with Fuji Group, is there any point in looking for him now?" His assistant asked in confusion.

"idiot……."

"What a stupid guy. Dingsheng Company only cooperated with the Fuji Group on one product. It does not mean that everything has reached cooperation. Since they have the ability to develop an upgraded version of the Walkman in such a short time, they must have the ability to develop other products. Such The company must either work with him to achieve a win-win situation or eliminate him as soon as possible. He must not be allowed to grow, otherwise he will become a serious problem." Akio Morita said seriously. His words surprised his assistant. After all, he could Let Akio Morita say these words, which means that he is very optimistic about the other party.

But he didn't understand. Although Dingsheng Company had developed an upgraded version of the Walkman, as far as he knew, among all Dingsheng Company's products, only one, the Walkman, was good, and the other products were nothing to be afraid of.

So now it is really difficult for him to understand when he hears that Akio Morita attaches so much importance to the other party.

"President, Dingsheng Company is just a small company, and it is simply not qualified to compete with us..."

"Baga, Sumomoto, you have been with me for so long and you haven't really grown up yet. It seems you still need some training."

"Don't underestimate any company, especially these talented technology companies. As long as you give them the opportunity to develop a product that makes the world crazy, it will be enough to grow and develop. Have you forgotten how Sony got here?" Akio Morita hates iron. Bu Chenggang taught his assistant.

"Hey! The president's teaching is right." Before seeing that the president's face was full of dissatisfaction, Shanmoto said no more.

"Go, Yasuda Kimurao has left. Help me invite him over. Let me see if this young man is really capable?" Akio Morita said slowly.

"Hey! I'll invite him over right now."

After finishing speaking, Sumomoto turned around and walked towards Zhuang Rongxu's position. In fact, he had a strong opinion of Zhuang Rongxu in his heart because he was tricked by Zhuang Rongxu when he went to Xiangjiang before, which led to his failure to acquire Dingsheng Company and was severely beaten when he returned to Sony. batch.

So he didn't like to see Zhuang Rongxu very much, but due to the pressure from the chairman, he had to listen.

"Mr. Zhuang, I didn't expect to see you here. Our president has invited you, please come over."

Zhuang Rongxu was chatting with Akina Nakamori when suddenly a very unkind voice sounded, which made Zhuang Rongxu feel very uncomfortable.

Then he looked up and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He recognized this person, but because of the tone of the other person's tone, Zhuang Rongxu didn't have a good look at him: "I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Baga, Mr. Zhuang, you don't know me?" Okamoto Shanben frowned and asked him after hearing Zhuang Rongxu's words.

"Do I need to know you?"

"you……."

"Hmph, it's okay even if you don't remember me. My president will ask you to come over. Come over." Shan Ben still said to Zhuang Rongxu with a condescending look.

This made Zhuang Rongxu feel funny, and he looked at him with a smile: "First of all, I don't know you, why should I listen to you?"

"Second: If your president wants to see me, why doesn't he come to me, and why should I go with you?"

"Third: You want me to come over, but you don't even have the most basic courtesy. Why should I listen to you?" Zhuang Rongxu asked the other party three questions in a row.

He knew the identity of the other party, but Zhuang Rongxu didn't care about him at all. If the other party had invited him politely and politely at the beginning, he would definitely give him such face. After all, Sony Group is also very important in Country R. See Is it okay to meet Akio Morita?

But he had such a tone when he came, what did he take him for? He didn't need to ask Sony Group, and he wasn't afraid of him, so he didn't need to be polite to them at all when they were like this.

"Baga, our president is the chairman of Sony Group. It's your honor for him to meet you. Don't you be ignorant." Shammoto yelled at Zhuang Rongxu angrily.

And his voice also attracted the attention of many people, and people in the venue looked towards them one after another.

And Akio Morita, who had been paying attention to Zhuang Rongxu's situation, also noticed something was wrong.

"What a stupid guy." Morita Akio also felt that it must be his people who did the bad things, because he knew Sugamoto's character very well, which made him so angry.

Then he stood up directly and walked towards Zhuang Rongxu's position.

"Very good, I will tell Morita Club everything you said without leaving a single word..."

"tell me what?"

"I asked you to come here to invite distinguished guests, not to offend the guests with your arrogance."

"Starting from tomorrow, you don't have to come to work anymore. Get out of here right now..." Akio Morita fired his assistant very decisively.

"President, I..."

"If you don't get out of here, I'll have you sent away." Morita Akio looked over at Sumomoto with a straight face, and he was immediately frightened to the point where he didn't dare to speak anymore.

At this time, Zhuang Rongxu was also a little surprised. He began to think that the reason why Okamoto Shangmoto dared to treat him this way was because he had the permission of Akio Morita.

But now it seems that this is not the case, so he is surprised.

Moreover, Akio Morita was so reasonable that he fired his people directly.

For a moment, Zhuang Rongxu couldn't figure out what he was up to.

As for Akio Morita, Zhuang Rongxu also knew something about him in his previous life.

But what he knew was from the news. He really didn't know the real situation.

In his previous life, he knew from reports that Akira Morita had indeed good character. She was easy-going, elegant, and very literary. She treated everyone with a very polite attitude.

However, these are all reported news. Zhuang Rongxu has never been in contact with him and does not know what kind of person the real Akio Morita is.

But now that he came to him in this way, Zhuang Rongxu certainly wouldn't mind talking to him. It just so happened that he could get to know his character and see if it was as reported.

But let’s not talk about his character. In terms of his personal achievements, Akio Morita is indeed worth learning from many businessmen. His history of success can become a business teaching material.

Akio Morita established a small workshop with a few partners in 1946. He was already 25 years old at the time and it was his first time doing business.

At that time, they were running a radio repair business. In the early days of its establishment, the company's business sources were very unstable and its operating conditions were also very poor.

Even if they have been working for ten years, their career has not improved, and there is even a faint possibility of bankruptcy. Perhaps it is due to the influence of the environment.

After all, radios were a luxury item in those days, and not many people could afford them. Even those who owned radios would not have many people looking for repairs from small workshops like theirs, because there were many watch repair shops in Tokyo at that time. He can also repair radios.

These big repair shops are just like the current 4S shops, they have authority and trust. Therefore, even if someone wants to repair radios and the like, they will go to these big shops for repairs, which is why their small workshops have not made much progress.

It was not until 1955 that Morita Akio waited for the opportunity. With the joint efforts of his team and ten years, they finally developed a radio of their own.

At that time, the first transistor radio "TR-55" in R country was developed by them.

Because it used the transistor technology invented at that time to replace vacuum tubes, the TR-55 was much smaller than early radios, making it the first portable radio in R country and loved by the public.

After that, this product became famous in one fell swoop, and the small workshop gradually turned into a company. In the same year, it continued to develop new products and sold them directly to the American market. In just a few years, it developed into the Sony Group.

Entering the 1960s, the Sony Group was already at its peak in the entire R country.

Especially in the late 1960s, after the Sony Group developed color TVs, they became popular among customers around the world and sold tens of millions of units.

This time it was established that Sony Group is famous in R country and even around the world.

At this time, Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, was published in the American Times magazine and became a global figure of the time.

"President Shengtian, Kongni Qiwa, nice to meet you." Zhuang Rongxu stood up and handed him his hand.

Since he treated him politely, he would definitely not hold on to him because of what happened just now.

"You are Mr. Zhuang Rongxu, chairman of Xiangjiang Dingsheng Company. I am also very happy to meet you."

"I'm very sorry for what happened just now. I sincerely asked him to invite Mr. Zhuang to come over for a get-together. I didn't expect him to..."

"President Morita, you are very polite. Please don't talk about what happened just now. Please sit down."

"Okay, please take a seat, Mr. Zhuang and his wife." Akio Morita obviously regarded Akina Nakamori next to Zhuang Rongxu as his woman.

However, Zhuang Rongxu did not explain when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and asked Nakamori Akina to sit down.

His reaction also made Akina Nakamori very happy because Zhuang Rongxu did not deny that others said she was his wife.

"President Shengtian, I wonder if you have any business with me?" Zhuang Rongxu asked directly.

"Hey! Actually, I have always wanted to meet you, but I just haven't had the chance. This is a rare encounter, so I just came to bother you."

"I have also learned about the Walkmans produced by your company. They are really good. At that time, I sent people to Xiangjiang to find you. I really wanted to cooperate with you, but it's a pity..."

"etc……."

"President Shengtian, let me interrupt. Are you sure the person you sent here isn't trying to acquire my company?" Zhuang Rongxu asked him very doubtfully.

At that time, people from the Sony Group came to his company with a very arrogant and domineering attitude. They said they wanted to acquire his company in a condescending manner.

This would make Zhuang Rongxu angry and just ignore them.

"Acquisition?" Akio Morita was stunned when he heard Zhuang Rongxu's words.

Then he seemed to think of something.

"Hey! I probably understand that I was the one who deceived the management group all these years. I don't know if you believe it, Mr. Zhuang, but the people I sent there were talking about cooperation. Of course, the one that could be acquired might be the best, but I also started from Those who started their business in R\u0026D know that it is very difficult to acquire companies with independent R\u0026D capabilities, so they mainly focus on cooperation negotiations.”

"Now that I hear what you say, I probably know that it was Sumomoto who just made his own decision again." Akio Morita said with some emotion.

Seeing his appearance, Zhuang Rongxu felt that Morita Akio's words were true.

If the people sent by Akio Morita at that time were better and really talked about cooperation with him, maybe Zhuang Rongxu would meet them. After all, Sony Group's sales channels in Tokyo are very large, much stronger than Fujifilm.

In the entire R country's electronics and electrical appliance sales channels, the only one that can compare with Sony Group is Panasonic Group.

With such good conditions, Zhuang Rongxu would certainly consider it carefully, but now everything is done, and it's useless to say anything.

"If this is really the case, it would be a pity." Zhuang Rongxu also said with emotion.

"It's a pity that we didn't reach a cooperation on the Walkman due to some reasons, but I feel like we still have a chance." Akio Morita said to Zhuang Rongxu with a smile.

This made Zhuang Rongxu a little confused.

"President Morita, what do you mean?"

"Zhuang Jun, as far as I know, the contract you signed with Fuji Group is only for a single product. I believe that your company will develop other new products in the future, so that's fine..."

"What, President Morita, do you want to poach our Fuji Group?"

Before Morita Akio finished speaking, a steady voice came from a distance, causing Zhuang Rongxu and Morita Akio to look over at the same time.

"President Yasuda, long time no see."

"It turns out to be Chairman Yasuda. Nice to meet you, but this is where we started talking about poaching. After all, the cooperation between Mr. Zhuang and your group is only for single products. Of course I have the right to seek cooperation." Akio Morita responded calmly.

"Hahaha, Chairman Morita certainly has the right to do this, but our Fuji Group will not give you this opportunity." Yukiro Yasuda said very calmly, as if he was not worried at all.

Then he looked at Zhuang Rongxu and said, "Zhuang Jun, let's go over there and talk about the company. After all, there are outsiders here." Yukiro Yasuda deliberately looked at Akio Morita while speaking.

Zhuang Rongxu was speechless when he heard this. The secret struggle between the two made him stand in the middle and make a light bulb, which made him very speechless.

But since Yukiro Yasuda said this, regardless of whether what he said is true or false, he must go through it. If he doesn't go through it, it will definitely make him think that he has reached a cooperation with Akio Morita.

This would be detrimental to their cooperation.

His company has just begun to develop in China, and it is very bad to have a disagreement with the Fuji Group now. Zhuang Rongxu will certainly not let such a thing happen.
