Chapter 700 You Didn't Discuss

The next day, the negotiation between Chen Xiaotang and the old guy Akio Morita started, and the fat man Wang Jing basically did not participate in the negotiation.Don't think they are stupid. As soon as Morita came, the fat man went to Sony to spread the news, saying that the company was going to sell, which made Sony jump up and down, and people were panicked, so as to create pressure on both sides.

On the spacious balcony of the newly established North American Magic Shadow Entertainment Company, Akio Morita praised as soon as he stepped on the carpet: "This place is really open-minded. It may be a happy thing to be able to negotiate here!"

"It's just maybe, isn't it?" Chen Xiaotang said to this old guy who was so old that even Lord Yan didn't like him with a meaningful side face, and when he came to the negotiating table, Akio Morita was stunned.Because there is only one table and two chairs in front of him, it means that other people have no place to sit.

"I'm really sorry, you know that Moying spent a lot of money on the acquisition of Fox, and we have to reduce administrative expenses, please sit down!" Chen Xiaotang smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, and sat down first.

It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open, Moying can be poor enough to cut administrative expenses!Akio Morita glanced at the four awkward negotiating assistants on the left and right, and then at the back of Chen Xiaotang. Chen Xiaotang only brought a smiling female secretary, um, the waves on his chest were still big.In desperation, he had to suffer this loss secretly.

"Stop talking nonsense, we can start negotiating!" Sheng Tian was slightly annoyed by Chen Xiaotang's deliberate actions, and said simply and neatly: "First of all, I want to tell Mr. Chen the value of our Sony records..."

"Wait..." Chen Xiaotang waved his hand, and said to Ye Zimei, the personal assistant beside him: "I'm a little thirsty, so I'll have a glass of water first, and Mr. Morita won't. He's not used to our Chinese tea."

Ye Zimei came here from Hong Kong with the fat man Wang Jing, and she already knew Chen Xiaotang's temperament, and said with a smile, "I understand the boss." After speaking, she glanced at the Japanese old man intentionally or unintentionally.

Morita Zhaofu felt even more annoyed, Chen Xiaotang did it on purpose, thinking of this, he thought it was Chen Xiaotang's trick, and wanted to provoke him, so he immediately calmed down.But Chen Xiaotang thought about it, just now it was just to show off to someone, since you can't understand the Chinese, then I don't even let you drink a sip of tea.
Taking a sip of the tea that was handed over to him, Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I drank too much last night and felt a little unwell. Is the value of Sony records right? Ah Mei..."

Ye Zimei smiled like a strong woman, took out a document and read it: "Japan's Sony Records made a profit of 700 million US dollars in the first half of last year, and the sales of records alone reached more than 3000 million. All records in North America The company is at the top of the list…”

Listening to Ye Zimei's narration, Akio Morita snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Chen Xiaotang didn't mind, and motioned Ye Zimei to continue.

Ye Zimei said: "However, since the second half of last year, Sony's record sales have dropped sharply, especially the sales of cassette tapes have almost stagnated. According to the current market conditions, at least more than 2000 million goods are in stock; and at present, losses are still continuing. Go! The American Accounting Company has conducted calculations and believes that the current market value of Sony Records is 13 billion U.S. dollars.”

Akio Morita showed no surprise at all. If Moying dared to come to negotiate without even getting this information, he would have gone bankrupt long ago, so how could he be qualified to talk about negotiations here.Chen Xiaotang gently scratched his eyebrows with his fingers, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Morita, do you think it is necessary to talk to me about the value of Sony records?"

"No, this is an incorrect number!" Akio Morita was very angry, and Chen Xiaotang imagined maliciously, if this old guy was taken to the edge of the balcony to look down, would he be scared to death: "We Isn’t it because of the impact of your VCD?! I believe that as long as Mr. Chen is willing to sell the patent rights of VCD, Sony Records will cheer up immediately. Of course, I will give you a satisfactory price! "

As expected of an old fox, he is very cunning.

Originally, Chen Xiaotang wanted to buy Sony Records under him, but now, the old fox wants to directly buy the VCD patent in Chen Xiaotang's hands.

If this patent is bought by the Japanese, Chen Xiaotang believes that it won't be long before the Japanese who are good at creating and inventing can control the entire VCD market, which is absolutely not allowed.

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "Mr. Shengtian, thank you for looking up to my patent, but I don't plan to sell it yet."

Akio Morita seemed to have expected that Chen Xiaotang would say that, so he had already prepared his next move.

"Mr. Chen..." Akio Morita spoke crappy Chinese, and it was probably the first time in his life that he pronounced it in such a pinyin, which felt very awkward.There was a kind of seductiveness of "I want to tell you a secret" in his expression.

"If you don't want to sell the patent in your hand, it doesn't matter, we can cooperate in another way, Sony Records Japan will welcome your investment very much..."

The fox's tail finally appeared.

Welcome to invest?

What do you mean?
Since you want to invest, then of course there will be a price.

Sure enough, Akio Morita continued: "We don't need you to spend too much money, we only need you to invest in technology, to be precise, you only need to invest in the patented technology of VCD, then it can be integrated with our Sony Records, I can assure you that Sony Records will definitely make you a lot of money in the future!"

no?Chen Xiaotang's eyes widened, and his expression of disbelief was undisguised.Hearing this tone, the Japanese old man seemed to be convinced of himself, and he would never give up until he snatched his patent.

What kind of bullshit investment is just a robbery covered with a red cloth.

As long as the patent is in the hands of the other party, won't they kick themselves away? !
The Japanese are so bad!

Akio Morita is indeed planning this kind of idea. In his opinion, although this young man is talented, he is still a little young. As long as he cheats the chips in his hand, he will be kicked out in the name of the board of directors. Damn guy , Only when he kicked his ass hurts, will he learn how to treat the elderly.

"You know, Sony Records is indeed in an embarrassing position at present. Cassette tapes are going to be eliminated, and there is a huge backlog of inventory... But, I think, as long as you are willing to join, Mr. Chen, all problems will be solved. Just like your Chinese As people often say, helping others is the foundation of happiness. If you help me, I will definitely give you back. What you will get is not only the friendship between us, but also the friendship between us. BIG PROFIT! PLEASE TRUST ME! Friend!!!"

Chen Xiaotang admired the Japanese old man in front of him so much, he picked it up and even moved out "helping others", why don't you sing "I Chinese are all living women"? !

Then again, everyone originally met to talk about Sony's acquisition, but now the Japanese old man actually wants to turn against customers and steal patents. I have to admire the deceitful spirit of the Japanese in business.It is estimated that in their eyes, the IQ of the Chinese people is still at the stage of prehistoric evolution, and only Japan has a high IQ, and they have all become elites.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, the laugh was so hearty that even Akio Morita behind the desk was stunned...

"Mr. Chen, are you okay..." Akio Morita hesitated for a moment, he wondered if the abnormally mature young man in front of him was crazy.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Chen Xiaotang held back his laughter. As the chairman of a large company, he was in a weak position as if he had come here for a request. For Chen Xiaotang, who always liked being strong, it was simply unbelievable.

However, this was exactly the effect he wanted, and he knew very well that it was difficult for this old guy, Sheng Tian, ​​to persuade him with just a few words.Therefore, everything today is just a play, a play that can completely beat the Japs.

"Since you want me to invest, there's no problem..." Chen Xiaotang deliberately pretended to think for a while, and then stood up abruptly. Seeing that Akio Morita jumped, he put his hands on the table and leaned forward. Let space and distance cause pressure: "If I bring the patent over there, and then invest another [-] million US dollars, how much controlling stake should I take?"

The old guy Sheng Tian really surprised Chen Xiaotang, especially when Chen Xiaotang half-bent and stared at him when he said this, it really felt like Chen Xiaotang was manipulating him.Holding back his fluctuating emotions, Akio Morita gave Chen Xiaotang a surprised look, then stood up proudly, taking the initiative to counteract the pressure Chen Xiaotang intentionally created: "I'm sorry, but if you intend to win the absolute controlling stake, then don't talk about it! "

"What if it's [-] million US dollars?" Now that the distance between Chen Xiaotang and Morita Akio has gradually narrowed, Chen Xiaotang's aggressive gaze and attitude formed an extremely huge contrast with just now: "What if it is [-] billion US dollars?"

Hearing such a huge number, Akio Morita knew that the other party was playing with him.

One billion US dollars, the market value of the entire Sony Records is only about 18 billion, if someone takes out one billion at once, doesn't that mean that more than half of the company is owned by them.

But then again, if Chen Xiaotang is really willing to invest one billion US dollars instead of a controlling stake, it would be great. With such funds, it is enough to open up a bigger and broader market, and even directly pull Sony Records out of the market. The quagmire... Akio Morita's heart couldn't help beating again and again.

Chen Xiaotang is almost like a devil now, and softly said in a sleepy tone: "One billion US dollars, with one billion US dollars, Sony Records can dominate North America and dominate the entire music market. And you, as the founder of Sony , will also get more rewards, reputation, money, status... In your lifetime, climb to new heights; let go of the power in your hands for the time being, let us work together, in order to realize our own dreams, what is the difficulty of giving up everything in front of us? of?"

Akio Morita was completely caught in a fierce psychological struggle, as if there were two completely opposite angels and devils fighting each other in his heart now.Chen Xiaotang's extremely seductive tone made him fall hopelessly into the imagination of realizing his dreams. If it was true what Chen Xiaotang said, even if he gave up on Sony, he would still be honored as the founder of Sony Feeling, especially to see Sony dominating the North American music scene in my lifetime, that feeling must be very "elegant" (comfortable).

Before he knew it, Akio Morita was sweating profusely, and suddenly he finally understood that this was a trap set by Chen Xiaotang.Unable to bear the expression of horror on his face, he cast his eyes on Chen Xiaotang who was standing by the balcony with his hands behind his back, and shouted out of fear: "You are a devil, I will never hand it over to you!"

Chen Xiaotang is observing the skyscrapers outside. As Los Angeles's largest business district, the environment here is really good.However, rather than saying that he was observing the environment, it would be better to say that he was thinking about where it would be more appropriate to relocate Sony Records in the future.

Hearing Akio Morita's shout, Chen Xiaotang smiled disapprovingly, but this smile seemed somewhat weird.He didn't turn around immediately, but put his hands behind his back, so that he could appear calmer instead of astonishing.

Letting Akio Morita pant behind him, Chen Xiaotang calculated and believed that the Japanese old man should be calm enough to think, so he turned around naturally.He showed a peaceful smile, but under such circumstances, the more peaceful the smile, the more mysterious and terrifying in the eyes of Akio Morita.

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly at him, the white teeth turned into sharp swords in the eyes of Akio Morita.With a smile, Chen Xiaotang stared at his opponent, without any intense meaning in his eyes, and said calmly: "Don't rush to answer, as I said, this is a big deal, you can think about it carefully, for our acquisition agreement, As long as you want, it will still be valid within a week!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xiaotang drifted away.Akio Morita came to the balcony and watched Chen Xiaotang's disappearing figure, while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.He felt that this Chinese man was really scary, like a devil, if he didn't pay attention, he would follow the other party's way.Great God Rizhao, you must know that from the beginning I was a hunter, and I was the one who set him off, but in the end I almost got myself caught...

When the old guy Akio Morita returned to the hotel, Chen Xiaotang quickly called Michael Jackson and Madonna and asked them to come over.

When he came to the office of the chairman of the board of directors of Moying, Chen Xiaotang was full of ambition for a while.When Mike and Madonna arrived, Chen Xiaotang briefly explained the situation just now.

Mike curled his lips and said, "I knew these Japanese guys weren't so easy to fool."

It doesn't matter to Madonna, originally she joined because of Chen Xiaotang himself.

"What should I do? Don't tell me that's all?" Mike asked.

Chen Xiaotang didn't answer, his fingers kept tapping like a villain dancing on his lap.

"Since Akio Morita doesn't want to sell it, let's let him sell it!" Chen Xiaotang smiled strangely. That's how things are in the business world. If you want to grow, you must hurt other people's interests.He thought for a while before saying: "Now we may have to go all out. In the final analysis, it is still a money war!"

"I'll pay another [-] million U.S. dollars, and we'll add up to one billion. I can't believe that Sony is still so stubborn!" Mike obviously guessed what Chen Xiaotang wanted to do, and said with a smile.

"Well, I'll offer [-] million here, and it just so happens that movies and records make a lot of money, and I just use it to operate it." Chen Xiaotang vowed, it's really lucky, and I was worried about money, but only three Over the past few months, his two big projects have helped him earn a lot of capital. What does this mean? It means that even God is helping him. God is going to destroy Sony, and no one can save him.

As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields.

In shopping malls, Chen Xiaotang has never been a kind person.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to create a huge Moying Entertainment in just seven years.

Therefore, after having money in his hands, Chen Xiaotang began to surround Sony Records internally and externally, as well as attack the stock market.

It's very simple to say, it is to keep poaching at Sony, keep creating rumors that Sony Records is about to go bankrupt, and constantly use money to stun Sony's allies and partners... In short, try everything possible to put Sony Records in dire straits.

I have to say that Chen Xiaotang is very bad, very despicable, this kind of move is very shameless, but compared to the shamelessness of the Japanese, Chen Xiaotang thinks it is inferior.Therefore, I comforted myself in my heart. I am not a pure person, but a series of impure struggles in order to achieve the goal of impurity.

Soon, these actions paid off.

First, the partner companies of Sony Records terminated their contracts with them one after another, followed by the resignation of many high-level employees within Sony, and then the Sony Records stock index plummeted in the stock market... A series of vicissitudes caused the entire Sony to be lifeless and full of complaints. Without fanning the flames from outsiders, everyone felt that Sony seemed to be "finished".

As the president of Sony Records in Japan, the old man Akio Morita has been very uneasy these days. The reporter chased after him, "Excuse me, is Sony going bankrupt?" "Is Sony Records heavily in debt?" "Is Sony going to sell?"……

"No comment! I have no comment on all this!" The old man was furious.After all, he is in his 60s, and his body can't take it anymore because of this anger, and he almost got sick.

This time, those media are talking again.

"Sony is about to go bankrupt, and the president is sick!"

"Sony is dead, the boss is seriously ill!"

……

Needless to say, Sony Records as a whole has come to an end.

While Chen Xiaotang was leisurely, the sick Morita Akio went crazy, and now he is about to be forced to go to Liangshan, if there is Liangshan in the United States.After thinking about it, in order to avoid the bankruptcy of the record company, he thought that the only way he could do it was to sell it.

Now he is very clear about one thing, if he sells Sony Records, he will definitely be able to make a profit of more than one billion, otherwise, if he really files for bankruptcy, he may not get anything.Under the torment of his heart, he had no choice but to sell the record company he worked so hard to build to Chen Xiaotang.

Mean fellow, he thought.

If he had a knife in his hand at this moment, Akio Morita wouldn't mind cutting Chen Xiaotang, a Chinese, to pieces!
