Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 211 A two-pronged approach
"Okay, I understand."

Although Rogers knew that Gunpei Yokoi, who had stronger capabilities in hardware research and development, would basically not join StarCraft, he still agreed seriously.

Such a genius should join a company that fully supports his development.

After deciding on the strategy to poach Nintendo's employees, Rogers suddenly asked with a serious expression, "Will the things in the newspaper affect the company?"

Masato Takeshita did not respond directly, but smiled and asked, "Has Xinghai Game been affected?"

"There was some discussion at first, but soon everyone started to treat it as a joke."

The smart people within the company can see clearly the reasons for the rise of Xinghai Group.

Even those who were not clear-headed suddenly understood after everyone's explanation.

Of course, there are also extremely stupid people within the company.

However, they only dared to mutter in private and did not dare to publicize it everywhere.

Therefore, the internal structure of Star Ocean Game was not affected much.

"It's all the same. Most of the employees within the group are smart people."

The rise of Xinghai Group is clear and transparent, and is also clearly written in the company's brochure.

Most employees are aware of the situation and naturally will not believe the newspaper’s random propaganda.

In fact, at the beginning, Masato Takeshita also thought that there would be a commotion, and he instructed the company's management to take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the internal situation of each company in Xinghai Group is unexpectedly stable.

But soon, the young man figured it out.

A large company will not explode because of the remarks of one or two newspapers unless there is solid evidence.

This is not the era of mobile Internet, and the speed of information dissemination is very slow.

Maybe most of the company’s employees don’t know about this yet.

“Indeed, many things seem mysterious because we don’t understand them.”

Rogers smiled and nodded, almost completely relieved.

"Yes, that's the truth."

This is also the reason why Masato Takeshita took the initiative to participate in the TV show.

As long as the matter is explained on TV, people will naturally stop having wild thoughts.

You know, due to the news, the stock price of Matsumoto Manufacturing has fallen.

I visited several companies and found that the employees were indeed as the management had said, with very stable emotions.

Only then did Masato Takeshita feel at ease and went to NHK to record the talk show.

"Good afternoon, President Takeshita, and welcome to this edition of NHK Interview. I am the host of the program, Yui Uchiyama."

"Hello Ms. Uchiyama, I am Masato Takeshita, the chairman of Matsumoto Manufacturing and Sekai Semiconductor."

The focus of this incident was Matsumoto Manufacturing and Xinghai Semiconductor, so the youth did not add Xinghai Games and Xinghai Investment unnecessarily.

As for Xinghai Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, it involves cooperation with China.

More sensitive and should not be exposed.

"This should be your first time participating in an NHK program since you founded Matsumoto Manufacturing."

"Yes, and it's also the first time since the company went public."

Masato Takeshita nodded gently, trying his best to show his friendliness.

"It's an honor for us."

Uchiyama Yui smiled slightly, and then continued to ask: "I wonder if your daily life has changed since your company went public?"

The young man pondered for a moment, then responded slowly and softly.

"The main reason a company goes public is that it has more responsibilities."

"responsibility?"

The host interrupted at the right time and Masato Takeshita followed suit.

"Yes, it is responsibility."

“Before going public, I only had to be responsible to the company’s employees and a few investors.”

“After going public, I will not only be responsible for them, but also for the majority of shareholders.”

“The responsibility has grown without you even realizing it.

"That makes sense. The responsibility has indeed increased a lot."

After the two briefly chatted about the listing of Matsumoto Manufacturing, Yui Uchida deliberately asked curiously: "From what I know, President Takeshita's family background should be very ordinary."

"But even so, you still managed to create a Fortune 3 company in just over three years."

"Can you tell me how you did it?"

Finally hearing the question he wanted to hear, although Masato Takeshita's body and expression did not change, he was already extremely serious inside, carefully considering how to answer.

"I do come from an ordinary family, similar to most of my peers."

"As for how to create a Fortune 3 company in just three years, there's a lot to say. Do you think I'm nagging you?"

Yui Uchida immediately responded, "Of course not. The more detailed the better."

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you in detail."

Next, Masato Takeshita boasted in detail about how he developed Matsumoto Manufacturing.

He mainly praised the trolley suitcase he invented and the Industrial Bank's good eye for talent.

As for the connection factor at Waseda University, he simply glossed over it.

At the end, the young man concluded with a smile: "Practical inventions like trolley suitcases have a promising future and are the easiest to develop."

"For example, Bell is a classic example."

"This company has long monopolized the U.S. communications market with its telephone patents."

"If it weren't for antitrust laws, no telecommunications-related company in the United States would have a chance to succeed."

The American company AT&T has long been troubled by antitrust laws and has often been the subject of legal action.

But even so, it is still a real giant.

No telecom company wants to compete with it.

Compared with this, Matsumoto Manufacturing is obviously far inferior.

"That makes sense. Utility invention patents can really help a company rise quickly."

"Sony in Japan should be considered a similar case."

"With Trilion and Walkman technology, it has grown into a world-class electronics giant."

Masato Takeshita agreed with a smile and said, "Yes, it's the same reason."

The main purpose of the young people participating in the NHK interview today is to answer the doubts in the minds of the confused masses.

Uchida Yui helped him complete this task very well, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the NHK elite, the cooperation is really great."

The young man sighed happily in his heart.

Masato Takeshita is a prominent figure in Japan, so once the NHK interview program was broadcast, it attracted countless people's attention.

While he was talking, a housewife who had bought shares of Matsumoto Manufacturing in front of the TV complained to her husband in a bad mood.

"I told you, what the Yomiuri Shimbun said was not made by Matsumoto at all. Don't make wild guesses next time, or you'll lose a lot."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

The husband also knew that he was in the wrong this time. He sold the stocks too early and lost nearly hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But at the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would never read new news reports again.

"Humph, such a big newspaper is also talking nonsense, damn it."

He knew that the product the Yomiuri Shimbun was talking about was Matsumoto Manufacturing.

It's just that it wasn't said explicitly, but rather insinuated.

The same situation occurred in many places in Japan.

Everyone has unanimously reduced their trust in reading and buying news.

"How to do how to do?"

After reading the news interview and reading about an editor from inside the news who had gotten on board, I immediately realized that something was wrong.

He quickly found his partner and asked them to find a solution as soon as possible.

This kind of thing that damages the newspaper's credibility can easily attract attention within the company.

If I don't find a solution, my career will be over.

"Don't worry, we will help you solve it, don't panic."

The culprit who was preparing to harm Matsumoto and make a fortune had a hint of impatience in his eyes.

But he felt that the person in front of him was still useful, so he decided to make some money.

Anyway, with our own strength, the cost will not be too high.

"That's good, thank you, thank you." "It's okay, we are all family, it's a small matter."

With the exposure of the program, most of the troubles surrounding Matsumoto Manufacturing have dissipated.

The company's popularity even soared again because of this incident, and its market value increased by more than 10%, which was a blessing in disguise.

But even so, the top management of Xinghai Group did not let down their guard.

Everyone understands that this kind of thing will not just happen once.

Soon, there will be more negative news.

Now is a great time to post entertainment news online and divert people's attention.

"President, shall we arrange it now?"

"Well, now."

"Hi!"

The head of the public relations department, Saburo Tamazuma, bowed respectfully, then slowly left the office and notified all major media outlets of the action.

[Two Chinese and Japanese divas fell in love with the same person at the same time]

[Kondo Masahiko loves the new and dislikes the old, abandons Nakamori Akina to pursue a beauty from Hong Kong Island]

……

Soon, news about Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina filled all major newspapers.

Just as Xinghai Group had expected, the Japanese people quickly forgot about Matsumoto Manufacturing and began to discuss this explosive gossip with great enthusiasm.

There are those who admire and envy.

"It's really amazing. He defeated both China and Japan. He is worthy of being a Japanese man."

There are those who curse and insult without shame.

"How disgusting, scumbag, this kind of scum should be destroyed."

There are many different ideas.

Of course, on the surface, everyone still has to condemn it unanimously.

Seeing Akina Nakamori's haggard and pitiful appearance in front of the TV, Masato Takeshita felt a little sympathy.

Meeting Kondo Masahiko is definitely bad luck.

But thinking that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, the young man's guilt faded a lot.

Of course, it’s just a small matter at the moment.

The real killer move would have to wait until the Jin Fengping incident a few months later.

In Japan, unfolding the Golden Phoenix Screen means discussing marriage.

Unexpectedly, Kondo Masahiko said he was joking on the day the incident happened.

After this incident, Akina Nakamori could no longer bear it and chose to commit suicide in grief and anger.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and received treatment quickly.

Of course, Masato Takeshita has no right to condemn Masahiko Kondo.

He is also a scumbag.

It’s just that his character isn’t that disgusting.

"Sir, you said Waseda invited me to give a speech?"

Faced with Waseda's invitation, Masato Takeshita instinctively wanted to refuse.

But thinking about the help the school had given me, I finally decided to agree.

People should not forget their roots.

"When?"

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry."

"Okay, bye."

But giving a speech is ultimately simpler than interviewing.

Interviews require you to be wary of possible pitfalls, but speeches rarely require you to be wary of them.

Waseda University is very proactive and has set the deadline directly for 5 days later.

Masato Takeshita did not refuse and followed the school's arrangements completely.

"Sakurako, there's a speech by Takeshita-senpai, do you want to attend?"

"Of course, Takeshita-senpai is my idol, so I must participate."

Many young Japanese people admire Masato Takeshita, especially students from Waseda University.

The whole school was in an uproar when they heard that he was coming to give a speech.

"Did you get the ticket?"

"I got it. Lucky you. How about you, Minnai?"

Because there were so many people who wanted tickets, the school had to resort to lottery.

Only those who draw the tickets will have the opportunity to enter the lecture hall.

"I didn't draw it, but I asked for one."

"Oh, it's not seduction."

The girl named Sakurako had a wicked smile on her face.

"You're so good Sakura, your brain is full of yellow garbage."

The girl named Minnai got angry and immediately started to abuse her friend.

"Ah, I was wrong."

Sakurako couldn't stand the itchiness on her body, so she apologized quickly.

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time."

Five days passed quickly, and Masato Takeshita arrived at Waseda University's landmark building, Okuma Auditorium, on time.

Looking at the packed lecture hall, the young man said happily: "I didn't expect so many people would come today. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome!"

The students of Waseda University responded in unison.

"Thank you all for your kindness. Without further ado, let's get to the point of tonight."

After saying this, Masato Takeshita wrote a line of words in a flamboyant manner.

How to better integrate into society.

“When I received the invitation from the school, I was quite nervous at first.”

"After all, everyone knows that I have only graduated for less than three years."

"But after thinking about it, I decided to agree because I want to share with you my experience in integrating into society."

Just as Masato Takeshita was about to continue speaking, he noticed that one student was jumping up and raising his hand repeatedly.

He quickly asked with a smile: "The student in the west wearing black clothes and jumping up and down, do you have anything to say?"

"Well, we want to know more about how the senior started his own business."

Then he shouted again: "Everyone, is that right?"

"Yes!"

College students are at the most passionate age.

Integration into society is not as attractive as starting a business.

Hearing the deafening sound in the lecture hall, the young man couldn't disobey.

He could only continue to respond gently: "No problem. I was going to put this topic aside for later."

"Since everyone can't wait, we can talk about it now."

Then his expression turned serious.

“I don’t really approve of college students starting their own businesses.”

Masato Takeshita's words were completely unexpected to everyone.

Some people couldn’t help but yell at him: “But you, didn’t you start a business before you even graduated from college?”

"Yes, but I first invented the rolling suitcase that had a future that you could see at a glance."

“If you can invent a practical patent during college, you can naturally start a business.”

"But there are too few such cases, so I am against college students starting their own businesses."

Having said this, Masato Takeshita paused for 30 seconds and then continued.

“College students are the most passionate group, but that’s just passion. Many of their ideas are immature.”

“It’s better to work in a company for a few years and accumulate some experience before starting a business.”

“At that time, you are at the peak of your life and your chances of success can be much higher.”
