Huo Jianning's counter-provocative attitude undoubtedly annoyed Matsumoto Nozomi and Demps Jerry.

After the two were silent for a moment, Demps Jerry said in a cold voice: "President Huo, if you think so, then we have no opinion!"

Matsumoto Nozomi didn't say anything, but his attitude was unmistakable.

For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing.

Huo Jianning glanced at the two of them coldly, and suddenly sneered, and the words he said made Matsumoto Wang and Demps Jerry frown.

"Threaten me?"

"I have to say, you are the typical ignorant fearless!"

Hearing this mocking tone, Demps Jerry was furious, he stood up directly, and his condescending posture seemed to give him a boost of power, and said loudly: "President Huo, it should be you who is ignorant now." ”

"I can guarantee that Polygram International Co., Ltd. will never support Tiangong Electronics Group's technology, and other record companies in Europe will not support it either!"

Demps Jerry's gesture annoyed Huo Jianning.

"Bang!"

His face turned cold, and he slapped the table with a sound that startled Demps Jerry.

"You can't promise it!"

"Before you say anything, weigh yourself!"

"After reading these materials, I hope you can repeat what you just said again!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning glanced at an assistant on the left, who immediately threw the stack of documents he had been holding in front of Demps Jerry.

Then Huo Jianning, who didn't know whether to sit down or continue to stand, said to the assistant on the right: "Show the document to President Matsumoto!"

The assistant on the right immediately handed the document to Matsumoto's assistant.

Huo Jianning said to Matsumoto Wang with an expressionless face: "President Matsumoto, these materials are copies, you can take them with you later, just look at them, I'm not in a hurry!"

Matsumoto had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, and without saying a word, he directly took the document in his assistant's hand and carefully browsed it.

After watching it for less than five seconds, his face changed instantly, and he suddenly looked up at Huo Jianning, who had a calm expression, and then suppressed the vibration in his heart, and tried his best to keep calm and look down.

Demps Jerry, who was on the side, realized that something was wrong, sat down again, and browsed the documents in front of him.

In the same way, after only looking at it for a while, his face changed dramatically and his thoughts were in confusion.

Looking at the two people in a panic, the corners of Huo Jianning's mouth hooked up with a sneer.

If the friendly negotiation can't go on, then he will simply show his cards.

King fried!

The two of them were looking at information related to a series of record companies they had acquired before.

They are the cooperation agreements of seven companies, including EMI Records, Viking Records, Kojima Records, Epic Records, RCA Group, A&MRecords, and Universal Music Group, on CD-ROM format records.

and a copy of the share certificate of PolyGram International Limited.

Before the cooperation agreement of the seven companies was written, the refusal of PolyGram International Ltd. and Columbia Records seemed unthreatening!

These seven record companies have joined forces to support Tiangong Electronics Group, which is enough to cover the main market of CD discs and support Tiangong Electronics Group to promote its products.

If you think about it carefully, if these seven record companies support Tiangong Electronics Group, then they will definitely not support Philips and Sony, which is enough to deal a major blow to the two companies.

What's more, there is also a copy of the 35% share certificate of PolyGram International Limited.

Just this one copy directly slapped Demps Jerry in the face.

Yes, Philips is the largest shareholder of PolyGram International Co., Ltd., but the shareholding ratio is only larger, even if it joins Siemens to suppress the new shareholder Universal Music Group, it cannot be absolutely suppressed.

A veto alone would have prevented the vast majority of resolutions from passing.

Philips can make PolyGram International Co., Ltd. disagree to support Tiangong Electronics Group, so the Universal Music Group behind this paper proof of equity can also make Philips unable to get support.

It can be said that the trump card in the hands of Philips to promote CD disc technology has been directly abolished!

Looking at Demps Jerry's blue and red face, Huo Jianning was in a great mood.

Time passes slowly.

Demps Jerry and Matsumoto were observed reading all the documents.

Huo Jianning Nuoyu's voice sounded again: "President Matsumoto, President Jerry, you say, can our technology be successfully promoted?"

These words were like chili water, pouring salt directly into the wounds of Demps Jerry and Matsumoto, making them extremely uncomfortable.

But after Huo Jianning's card, the two of them were already completely at a disadvantage, and all the preparations before coming were disrupted.

The situation is now beyond their control and decision-making, and the only way to do this is to go back and report to the company, and it is up to the respective chairmen to decide.

Matsumoto Wang squeezed out a reluctant smile and said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect Tiangong Electronics Group to reach cooperation with so many companies quietly, and your company's confidentiality work is really good." ”

Huo Jianning smiled and said jokingly: "No way, if I don't prepare, I'll have a headache now......"

Matsumoto Nozomi smiled awkwardly, and didn't dare to answer, he just wanted to leave quickly.

"President Huo, it seems that our first negotiation today can only go here, I will bring back your company's attitude first, and look forward to our real cooperation. ”

Huo Jianning bowed slightly, glanced at Matsumoto with great meaning, glanced at Demps Jerry again, and said lightly: "President Matsumoto, I only give you five days, the choice is in your hands, I welcome all partners, and I am not afraid of any competition!"

"We've already reached a partnership with these record labels, and no matter what the outcome is, I'm definitely going to bring the product to market. ”

"I hope you can tell Mr. Ibuka and Mr. Akio Morita as it is. ”

Then he looked at Demps Jerry again and said lightly: "President Jerry, I also hope that you will inform Mr. Philips as soon as possible." ”

"You can take these materials with you!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning made a gesture of please.

Matsumoto Nozomi and Demps Jerry had long wanted to leave, so they got up one after another, and after saying a casual word, they left in a hurry with someone.

Of course, in Huo Jianning's opinion, the two groups of people fled here completely in disgrace.

Watching them disappear from sight, Huo Jianning's eyes became deep, and he sighed faintly for a long time.

In fact, emotionally, he does not want to cooperate with Philips and Sony, and he does not want to drag the two companies together to become the setters of the new data disc standard.

But from a rational point of view, cooperation with Philips and Sony is more beneficial than disadvantageous for Tiangong Electronics Group, the reason is that the foundation of Tiangong Electronics Group is shallow, and the internal and external foundations are shallow!

Sony has decades of technical background and market relations, not to mention Philips, the world's top 500, a giant in the field of electronics, has accumulated more than 90 years of technical background and all aspects of the relationship.

In terms of technical standards, Philips is not only the setter of CD-DA disc standards, but also the leader of many other technology alliances, and Philips has other interests in common with other companies.

If Philips really wants to go the other way with Sony, it can definitely pull a large group of allies to follow, and the scientific research strength of the two companies should not be underestimated, and it is absolutely possible to develop another set of standards.

When the time comes, there will be two camps, and the allies of the Tiangong Electronics Group camp are likely to be few.

Huo Jianning was not absolutely sure of winning, and he didn't want to cause trouble to the chairman because of this matter, and even let the chairman waste resources again.

Therefore, although Tiangong Electronics Group has solved the constraints of pushing to the market, in view of the group's current comprehensive strength can not be overwhelming, so he can only focus on stability.

He has now played his trump card, as long as the operators of Philips and Sony are not stupid, they will definitely choose to bow their heads and value peace.

As for the extent of "harmony" and how the benefits will be distributed, it will depend on the five days later.

As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still in his hands, and Tiangong Electronics Group occupies a great initiative!

......

Let's say that Matsumoto Wang, after leaving Tiangong Electronics Group, rushed back to Minato-ku, Tokyo, an island country, almost non-stop, to meet Chairman Akio Morita.

After learning of the grim situation, Akio Morita immediately called in the other founder and chief technical consultant Ibuka.

Sony Corporation was founded by Akio Morita and Dai Inobu.

Akio Morita is good at business management, and Ibuka is a technical expert, and he liked to invent when he was in college, and won the Outstanding Invention Award at the Paris International Exposition for his "dynamic neon light".

Together, Sony flourished, becoming an island nation's electronics powerhouse for decades.

When Ikatsu arrived, Akio Morita immediately asked Matsumoto to tell what had happened again.

After Matsumoto finished speaking, Akio Morita immediately asked: "Jing Shenjun, you know more about the technical things, you have also analyzed the samples that Tiangong Electronics Group took before, and we now avoid the technical barriers of Tiangong Electronics Group, can we develop the second generation of data discs." ”

Jing Shenda nodded without hesitation and said: "The data disc industry is still in its infancy, as long as enough manpower and capital are invested, you can definitely take another path, but in the case that Tiangong Electronics Group occupies some technical fields, if you want to avoid it, you need to invest in greater research and development costs." ”

"And this also needs to ensure that before we develop finished products, Tiangong Electronics Group does not preempt us in a certain part of the technical field, the more technology is occupied by them, the greater the difficulty and cost of our research and development, and the narrower the road to go. ”

"Ideally, how long will it take to develop a product of the same level as the Tiangong Electronics Group?" Akio Morita continued.

After thinking for a long time, Jing Shen said cautiously: "In the case of our alliance with Philips, it is conservatively estimated that it will take more than six months! If the research and development does not go well, it will take even longer!"

Akio Morita immediately shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, it's too long." ”

Izuka is also a highly intelligent person, although he doesn't care about business, but he still understands most things.

After listening to Matsumoto Nozozo's story just now, he knew how Akio Morita would choose, and the reason why he asked him was nothing more than to have a glimmer of expectation.

But unfortunately, he can't give this expectation to Akio Morita, he has always been realistic.

"Sheng Tianjun, this time our technology is lagging behind, and we can only hope that the technology research and development in the future can produce results faster. ”

"With the support of so many record companies, there is no restriction on the products and technologies of Tiangong Electronics Group to the market, and neither Columbia Records nor Polygram International Co., Ltd., which we hold shares, can give Tiangong Electronics Group a fatal threat. ”

"Even Philips is more powerless than we are. ”

"The CD disc market is still in its infancy, leaving us with a lot of room to explore, and it is not yet enough to spend huge costs to do direct confrontation. ”

"My suggestion is to compromise with Tiangong Electronics Group for the time being, and work together to make this cake bigger. ”

After speaking, Ibuka said no more and looked at Akio Morita.

Akio Morita is the chairman, he has already made a suggestion, no matter how Akio Morita chooses, he will support it.

After thinking for a long time, Akio Morita said decisively: "There is no confrontation for the time being, but we must become one of the new standard-setters, this is the bottom line of cooperation, otherwise we will fight!"

"Jing Shenjun, I will propose in the board of directors to increase investment in the research and development of CD disc technology, and you need to pay more attention to it later. ”

Jing Shen smiled and said, "No problem. ”

The next day, Akio Morita held an interim board meeting.

At the meeting, Nozomi Matsumoto again explained the details to all the directors, and then Akio Morita presented his attitude.

In the end, there was no doubt that Akio Morita's opinion was unanimously approved.

The meeting also decided to continue to negotiate with the team led by Matsumoto.

The bottom line is that Sony has to be one of the new standard-setters and the technology is interchanged.

As for the dominance of the new standards alliance, Akio Morita does not have extravagant hopes, in the case of Tiangong Electronics Group's dominance, it is almost impossible for Sony to snatch the dominance of the alliance, unless Huo Jianning is a fool, it is obvious that Huo Jianning is not ......

Another supporting role, Philips in the Netherlands, although stronger than Sony, has fewer options after PolyGene International Co., Ltd., the market trump card was abolished.

When Demps Jerry returned, he reported the situation clearly, and then Philips immediately held a board meeting.

The end result was that Philips did not want to fight such a battle with no absolute chance of victory, and planned to continue negotiations as long as it retained its position as the setter of the new standards alliance.

Soon, the five days given by Huo Jianning passed in a flash.

Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Nozomi once again led the team to Xiangjiang, the difference is that the negotiation team is even larger.

But on the other hand, it also shows that the two companies attach importance to this negotiation.

It took almost a day of negotiations to finally reach an agreement, and the three signed a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation, with Philips and Sony fully supporting the CD-ROM format standard proposed by Tiangong Electronics Group.

The new CD-ROM standard is dominated by Tiangong Electronics Group, which serves as the chairman of the Technical Standards Alliance, with Philips and Sony as vice chairmen, respectively.

As for the more detailed division of interests, it involves many aspects, and more than ten pages of A4 paper have been written, which is generally extremely beneficial to Tiangong Electronics Group.

In terms of technology exchange, Huo Jianning has long asked Dr. Lu Chao to list the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory according to the actual situation, a list of extremely valuable technologies that are urgently needed for Tiangong Electronics Group.

In the case of occupying the initiative, Tiangong Electronics Group relied on a batch of patents in CD-ROM format in exchange for a number of equivalent technologies, which made Tiangong Electronics Group's technical background a lot deeper.

After everything was in order, Huo Jianning immediately joined the process of marketization of CD-ROM standards.

Philips and Sony are not fools, so he has to race against the clock to grab market share as quickly as possible!
