In the afternoon of that day, the Publicity Office of Shinhwa Technology Company received interviews from several news media. The main content was about the cooperation between Shinhwa Technology and Shueisha to work together on the development of "technical animation" in the future.
As soon as this news came out, the newly established Shinhwa Technology Company was immediately thrust into the limelight.
This newly established technology company has quite a tendency to promote itself horizontally. From developing karaoke to investing in elite clubs, it has also moved across industries very quickly.
As an old partner of Shueisha, Sony has been in a miserable state recently.
In the last life, Sony, in order to develop rapidly and seize the latest TV market, discovered quality problems with the picture tubes after selling 130,000 TV sets.
In the face of customer complaints and claims for compensation from overseas markets, Sony, which had taken too big a step forward, had to tighten its belt and carry out drastic corporate reforms, lay off a large number of employees, and tighten quality control.
A crisis barely escaped.
But this time is different. In addition to having quality problems with the TV and suffering huge claims, Sony boss Akio Morita is also deeply involved in Nobuo Asakura's economic case, which itself triggered a scandal and caused Sony's stock price to plummet.
Now, Shueisha has announced that it is leaving Sony, abandoning cooperation with Sony, and embracing Shinhwa Technology. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Sony.
At this moment, Sony boss Akio Morita was sitting in his office, scratching his hair. The limited information in front of him was almost torn apart, and he muttered: "How could this happen? Did I really lose?"
As for Akio Morita, he now regrets that when Shi Zhijian found him, he rejected his suggestion of splitting the company 50-50 with him and monopolizing the karaoke market together.
If I had accepted Shi Zhijian's suggestion at that time, I would have at least been able to rely on part of the profits from karaoke to revitalize Sony's cash flow. This would not have made it difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Without money, everything would come to a halt!
Shengtian grabbed his hair fiercely, feeling regretful.
As a female assistant, Xiao Cangzhizi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking about what she should do.
…
After reaching a cooperation agreement with Shueisha, Shi Zhijian once again focused on the scientific research room of Shinhwa Company.
For Shi Zhijian, whether the scientific research laboratory can develop his first "Walkman" by relying on the Philips magnetic tape reading and writing patent purchased was the biggest obstacle before he left Japan.
Shinhwa Corporation's scientific research office is an independent one-story building located in a remote western suburb of Kyoto.
When Shi Zhijian arrived at the scientific research room at eight o'clock in the morning, there were already many people standing at the door. Most of them were wearing glasses and staring at Shi Zhijian. Some of them were unshaven and had fluffy hair.
, just like those unkempt homeless people on the street.
"Hello everyone, this is Mr. Shi Zhijian, the president of our company!" Because there were more and more staff in the scientific research office, Inoue Daisuke had to reintroduce Shi Zhijian's identity to everyone.
Shi Zhijian just glanced at these people and saw that these people were all inexperienced men in science and technology, more like those coders in his previous life, with extremely poor communication skills, so Shi Zhijian didn't have much demand for them.
.
"You're welcome, keep doing what you have to do, I'm just taking a look!" Shi Zhijian waved his hand and let these science and engineering men play by themselves.
If we follow the social sciences here in Japan, these people with a little bit of discernment should come over proactively, introduce themselves enthusiastically, and then cordially ask to shake hands with Shi Zhijian, and then say some flattering words, such as boss, you are wise and powerful,
Extremely wise, but after listening to Shi Zhijian's words, these guys' collective reaction was "Oh", and then they really went about their business slowly.
Inoue Daisuke looked embarrassed when he saw this. After all, he had been trained by Shi Zhijian and was not as dull as before in interpersonal relationships. Seeing that Shi Zhijian was ignored by everyone, he felt that he had not done a good job.
Shi Zhijian comforted him that this kind of thing should be done slowly and not rushed. Besides, he is not the kind of person who pursues exaggeration and likes to be praised.
Finally, Shi Zhijian said to Inoue Daisuke earnestly: "In the future, we can do a little ideological work for these wooden lumps. For example, during the morning meeting, we can let them shout slogans, such as 'I am a brick of Shinhwa. I can move it wherever it is needed.'
!Also, 'The most handsome boss, Shi Zhijian, is extremely compassionate and righteous!"
Inoue Daisuke and others accepted it humbly and wrote down all these words in their own notebooks.
Immediately, accompanied by Daisuke Inoue and others, Shi Zhijian visited the research and development work of the Walkman again.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, there would be a new breakthrough in this research and development process.
According to the structure diagram and circuit diagram given by Shi Zhijian before, coupled with Philips' tape reading and writing technology, the Walkman named "Myth Generation" by Shi Zhijian has taken shape.
Shi Zhijian picked up this slightly larger, brick-like Walkman and tried it. The functions were a bit simple, and the sound quality was also slightly inferior. However, compared to the recorder, it was portable and "can be carried around".
Function!
Shi Zhijian is very satisfied with such scientific research results.
"Can you make this thing smaller?" Shi Zhijian gestured with his hand and said, "It'd better be as big as a palm! No big bricks!"
"Dear Mr. Shi, we can accomplish your request! However, we must have the support of semiconductor technology! And this semiconductor technology is in the hands of Sony, so if you can obtain this technology, we can
Meet your requirements!" said a man in his thirties wearing a plaid shirt.
I choose!
What do you mean?
After a long detour, you still can't get around Sony's aggressive company?
Shi Zhijian was almost depressed. He looked at Inoue Daisuke and said, "What if we want to develop it ourselves?"
"That would cost a lot of money!"
"How much does it cost exactly?"
Daisuke Inoue looked troubled, looked at Shi Zhijian and smiled bitterly: "Preliminary calculations show that at least one hundred thousand US dollars will be invested!"
"One hundred thousand?"
"Yes! Not only that, it is very likely that after we develop it, Sony will have new models appear, and our quality and performance will continue to lag behind!"
"You've spent so much money and you still have to follow others?" Shi Zhijian was stunned.
Inoue Daisuke nodded.
"I'll beat your lungs out!" Shi Zhijian cursed and entered the elevator.
Inoue Daisuke and others were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and then imitated Shi Zhijian's tone: "Sony! I will punch your lungs out!"
