Chapter 1973 Mystery

"Hello, Mr. Duan Yun." Seeing Duan Yun, Ando Kuniwei immediately got up and greeted with a smile on his face.

Ando Kuniwei is 53 years old this year, and his height is only 1.9 meters. It is very rare among Japanese who are generally not too tall. Moreover, this person is very well maintained, his hair is combed meticulously, he is wearing a neat suit, and his eyes are sharp. And Youshen is more like a middle-aged man in his 30s.

Since the 60s, Kuniwei Ando, ​​who graduated from Tokyo National University in Japan, has joined Sony Corporation. At that time, Sony was just a little-known electronics company in Japan, and it was far from developing into the current scale. Empire, because of his outstanding talent and management ability, he has always been favored by Sony founder Akio Morita, has been working in the company's management, and now he has become the executive president of Sony's US headquarters.

"Hello!" Seeing this, Duan Yun extended his hand politely. The two shook hands, and then sat face to face.

"Mr. Anteng has always been very concerned about the development of our Tianyin Group, and he himself admires you, Brother Duan." Li Yun, who was sitting on the side at this time, smiled slightly and said to Duan Yun: "In addition, for the development of our two companies, Mr. An Teng is also full of expectations for this cooperation."

"Actually, I am also looking forward to cooperating with a top multinational company like Sony in the United States." Duan Yun was also smiling at this time, only to hear him continue: "Mr. Anteng, your company's achievements in the world are obvious to all, and I I have always been full of admiration for your company. In my opinion, Sony is the benchmark of the global electronics industry. There are many things we can learn from. When I come here this time, I actually come to communicate with Mr. Ando with a learning attitude. of."

Facing Kuni Ando, ​​Duan Yun was rather humble. The reason is very simple, because in the business world, strength always speaks for itself. Although Tianyin Group is a top private enterprise in China, it is difficult to rank in terms of overall technical strength in the world. , the reason why such a high profit can be achieved in China is actually largely due to the dividends of the reform and opening up. On this point, Duan Yun has a very clear understanding.

Moreover, Ando Kuniwei's ability to become the CEO of the US headquarters from a small employee of Sony must be extraordinary, especially the business experience in the US market is absolutely top-notch, so what Duan Yun said just now is not only It's just polite words, but I really want to learn some experience in developing the US market from Ando Kuniwei through communication.

"Mr. Duan is humble. It is definitely not an easy thing for your company to develop so well in China. In my opinion, it is simply unbelievable." Ando Guowei smiled slightly, and then said: "Before I told you I have a certain understanding of the company, but there is one thing I have been unable to understand, so I want to ask you, and I hope that Mr. Duan can answer truthfully."

"Just say it." Duan Yun said.

"In the past few years, our Japanese companies have paid great attention to your China. I feel that your country is developing very fast now, and it is very likely to become a huge emerging market. Among all the top-ranked Chinese electronics companies, your Tianyin Group is the best. The only private company, which is obviously a bit unusual." Ando Kunitake glanced at Duan Yun, and then said: "Isn't your country a socialist country? How could you allow such a private company like your company to develop so big? There is a rumor that Mr. Duan has a great family background in China, and some people say that your father was a high-ranking official..."

"You can't believe these words." Duan Yun directly interrupted Ando Guowei, and said: "Let me tell you the truth, when I was young, my father passed away, and my mother raised me independently As an adult, I was a worker in a state-owned enterprise in my early years, and my family situation is actually more difficult than that of ordinary workers' families, not as complicated as you think."

Obviously, in the view of Ando Kuniwei, it is obviously unreasonable for Tianyin Group, as a private enterprise, to be able to develop so powerfully in China.

Not only Ando Kuniwei has such doubts, but also many Japanese company executives who study the Chinese market and companies have the same doubts. After analysis, they came to the conclusion that Duan Yun, the boss of Tianyin Group, is definitely a man with a deep background in China. The second generation, relying on their family background, finally developed Tianyin Group into the largest private enterprise in China.

"Hehe, Mr. Duan is really admirable." Kunito Ando smiled and said to Duan Yun.

Judging from his expression, he obviously didn't believe what Duan Yun said was true, but he wouldn't argue with Duan Yun about this either.

And Duan Yun also doesn't need too much explanation, because for Duan Yun, if the other party insists that he is the second generation with a background, it will also be good for Tianyin Group, because almost all If foreign companies want to explore the Chinese market, they need to establish a good relationship with the Chinese government, so if Duan Yun keeps this sense of mystery, it will also help him cooperate with Sony.

Later, Duan Yun began to ask Ando Kuniwei about the development of the US electronics market over the years and how to better expand the US market.

At first, Duan Yun thought that Ando Kunitake might not be willing to share Sony’s successful experience in the United States, but the facts were completely beyond his expectations. Ando Kuniwei not only helped Duan Yun analyze the development of the American market in recent years in detail, but also He gave a lot of constructive suggestions, and many opinions and experiences are very valuable to Duan Yun. These are the experiences that Sony has summed up after years of trial and error, which gave Duan Yun great support. inspired.

"The core of our Sony Group's social responsibility is to enhance the company's value through innovation and perfect business operations, and to contribute to the development of a sustainable society." Facing Duan Yun, Ando Kuniwei seemed very talkative, only to hear him continue: “We at the Sony Group recognize that our business activities have a direct or indirect impact on the societies in which we operate. Therefore, we make decisions with full consideration of the impact of our business actions on stakeholders, namely shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers , business partners, the impact of the interests of local communities and other related organizations, that is to say, in terms of operation, we should not only consider the interests of the company, but also consider the interests of the local society and all partners. When respected, then they will naturally respect the interests of our company, which is actually a very simple truth..."
