Chapter 170 Rapid Development

Suning's series of combined attacks completely confused Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio. Finally, with the mediation of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio accepted the acquisition of Sony by Suning.

Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Co., Ltd. was officially renamed Sony Japan Tokyo Branch, which not only saved Suning a lot of time but also helped him capture the world's radio and television markets more quickly.

Looking at Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio standing in front of him, with their heads drooped like eggplants hit by frost, Suning sneered in his heart, this is the result of underestimating yourself.

"Ibuka-kun, Morita-kun, do you have any objection to taking up your positions at Su's Sony?"

"No! Boss!"

"Well! Very good! Now let's talk about your appointment decision.

Ibuka Masaru was transferred to the Hong Kong headquarters to serve as General Manager of Su's Sony and concurrently as Deputy Director of the R&D Department.

"what?"

Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio both widened their eyes in shock and looked up at Suning in disbelief.

"Why? Jing Shenjun disagrees?"

"No! No! Thank you, boss!

I will definitely work hard to run Su's Sony!" After waking up, Ibuka Masaru couldn't contain his inner surprise and hurriedly thanked Suning excitedly.

"Yes! Jing Shenjun, I have great confidence in you!

As the manager of Su Sony, you will have a certain amount of stock dividends!"

"thank you boss!"

"Mr. Morita, I would like to appoint you as the general manager of Sony Japan Branch. Do you have any objection?"

"Boss, I do! I have no objection!"

"Well! Very good! Mr. Jing Shen is leading the researchers from Japan to report to the Hong Kong headquarters!

As for the Japanese branch, it will be up to Mr. Morita to take charge from now on!"

"Hi!"

After arranging Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio, Suning also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had signed a non-compete agreement, and with them managing Sony in the future, Suning would feel much more relaxed and at ease.

After returning to Hong Kong, Karl hurried to Suning's office and asked, "Boss, I heard that you have acquired Tokyo Telecommunications Industry Co., Ltd."

"Yes! Carl, please sit down first! Let's talk slowly!"

Carl sat directly on the sofa beside him, but he looked at Jing Shenda with a puzzled look. While Suning poured a cup of coffee for Carl, he saw the puzzlement in Carl's eyes.

He placed the coffee in front of Carl, then pointed at Ibuka Masaru and introduced him, "Mr. Carl, this is Ibuka Masaru, the general manager of Suning Sony."

"what?"

"Mr. Jing Shen, this is Mr. Carl, the chief technical director of our Su Sony."

"Mr. Karl, I am a very humble person!
Please take care of me in the future!"

"Eh? You're welcome, Jing Shen-kun! Let's work together from now on!"

"Mr. Karl, Su Sony will be managed by you and Jing Shenjun from now on!"

"Huh? Boss, you're not going to ask about Su Sony's specific business anymore?"

"Yes! After all, manpower is limited, and the Su Group has many other businesses!
I feel very relieved to leave professional matters to professional talents like you!"

After introducing Ibuka Masaru and Karl, the three of them exchanged a few pleasantries before asking their secretary to take Ibuka Masaru to his office. When Karl and Su Ning were alone in Su Ning's office, Karl looked at Su Ning anxiously, "Boss, I heard the branch in Japan will be using Japanese production lines?"

"Yes! I am helpless too!
After all, we need to agree to the request of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry."

"How can this Japanese production line compare to the quality of our German production!"

"Yes! Carl! I know everything you said!
But if we want to capture the market quickly, we have to make compromises.”

"Karl, our Su's Sony's focus will still be Hong Kong. I will continue to expand the scale of the New Territories factory."

"Boss! I understand what you mean!
As long as you agree to continue using the German production line in our New Territories factory in Hong Kong.

I will try my best to get the German machinery factory to give us more preferential treatment.”

"Yeah! Very good!
Karl, you are responsible for contacting Germany!"

"Next, our company will focus on the production of home appliances such as televisions and refrigerators.

Technically, we will focus on CRT technology and make a breakthrough in television technology soon!"

"Yes! Boss!"

Hong Kong's large amount of cheap labor has contributed a lot to Suning's business. In order to win over the workers' sense of belonging, Suning built a large number of employee dormitories in the New Territories.

In addition to many free employee dormitories, there are more two-bedroom, one-living room suites. Those with outstanding work abilities can purchase them at prices that are lower than the market price.

We also cooperated with HSBC in a very humane way to launch a mortgage business for Su Sony employees, making it easier for more families to buy houses.

The Su Sony factory now not only has high wages but also very good welfare benefits. It has also launched a mortgage business, making Hong Kong residents proud to be Su employees.

With people, money, and technical support from Japan and Germany, Sony entered the fast track of development.

Although there has not been a breakthrough in cathode ray tube technology, the televisions produced by Sony have quickly occupied the markets of countries around the world thanks to their high quality and low prices.

In the spring of 1956, the Su Group's headquarters building in Central was completed, and all the companies under the Su Group moved in, making it the tallest building in Hong Kong at that time.

In today's Hong Kong, you may not know who the Governor is, but you must know Suning, the boss of the Su Group. Suning has become an idol for many Hong Kong residents who are pursuing the "Hong Kong Dream".

The success of Suning Sony did not make Suning lose its mind and continue to explore other new businesses, but only tried its best to operate and develop existing new industries.

With a large amount of funds, Su's Real Estate frequently appeared at major land auctions of the British Hong Kong government, and most of the important plots of land in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon were acquired by Su's Real Estate.

Because the British Hong Kong government has not yet truly lifted restrictions on building heights, Suning did not continue to build new buildings on a large scale. Instead, it began to acquire old buildings that had already been built.

After Heidi's management and with Suning's large investment, Su's Aid Shipping Company has reached a tonnage of five million tons in five or six years.

Although there was still a big gap between him and the world's shipping king at that time, he was still a force that could not be ignored in the world's shipping industry. At least he had become the shipping king of Hong Kong at that time.

Suning's flourishing career also gave his good brother Lei Luo a lot of help. In 1959, the British Hong Kong government suddenly decided to set up a position of Chinese Chief Inspector.

It is obvious that this is a money-making behavior of the British Hong Kong government and the police, but it still caused a dispute between Lei Luo and Yan Tong.

After receiving the news, Suning sent Lei Luo two million Hong Kong dollars to support his next operation without waiting for him to speak.

Compared to the original drama, Lei Luo now has a good brother, Suning, and his old father-in-law, so his life is even smoother than in the original drama.

Years of career as a detective have made Lei Luo grow up, and he seems to be more capable when dealing with these foreigners.

Seeing Yan Tong's lavish banquets and making friends with foreigners, Lei Luo directly set his sights on the police chief's gambling-addicted wife. Money, jewelry and reputation were all placed in front of the police chief, and then the police chief fell.
