Chapter 131: You Must Get the Land
On the night of 5.15, the island nation of Sony held a new product launch conference for lithium batteries at 9:00 Edo time, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Why the evening?
Since it's a battery launch, of course you need to show it!
They used 36,000 special lithium batteries to light up tens of thousands of neon lights over the entire venue.
The on-site lighting is even more dazzling.
The two sides were crowded with invited guests, and in the middle was a space reserved for reporters to record the whole event.
The hosts are the famous hosts of Edo TV, Miho Taniguchi and Shubanzo, who were specially invited.
Sony invited Latzlo Pasha, manager of the International Battery Council, Bekiel Marko, manager of the International Battery Innovation Association, Nobu Kimura, manager of the Asian Battery Association, and well-known representatives of the industry in Europe, the Americas and the world as honored guests, a total of 36 people attended the press conference and sat in the front row of the stage.
The number of special guests is countless, they are the world's battery manufacturing enterprises, equipment and material suppliers, all kinds of business agents and sellers, research and development institutions, as well as industry organizations and relevant people from all walks of life in various regions, the scene is full of 9,800 seats reserved around the scene.
Ichiro Hamasaki and all the shareholders, led by the secretary and a group of subordinates, went to the Edo Gymnasium site, and nodded with satisfaction after seeing this scene. Seeing that the shareholders were satisfied, Ichiro Hamasaki couldn't help but smile and glanced at Masanobu Kobayashi, who arranged this party, and saw that the other party was also looking at himself, he walked quickly to Masanobu Kobayashi, stretched out his right hand and gently patted the other party's shoulder, and couldn't help but praise: "Kobayashi-kun, good job!"
All of the world's leading television and newspaper offices in Edo were attended by senior journalists, who carried "long guns and short guns" and vowed to spread the event to the world as quickly as possible.
At 9:00 p.m., when 10,000 neon lights put out Sony's lithium battery, it heralded the opening of the event.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Edo Gymnasium, where we are the moderator of this performance. ”
Miho Taniguchi and Shuban San pronounced their names in unison.
Next, they introduced the distinguished guests one by one, and introduced the guests in general.
Finally, Kawagoe Takashi personally took the stage to explain the performance of the lithium battery released this time, and after introducing the performance, he gave the scope of application: "The lithium No. 1 battery is suitable for all mobile devices, including mobile phones, laptops, calculators and walkie-talkies, etc. ”
The whole press conference lasted 90 minutes.
In the end, Miho Taniguchi confirmed: "In view of the late hours today, Sony will officially start the sales of lithium No. 1 batteries from tomorrow's working hours." According to Sony, the first 500 bookers will receive a 9.5% discount tomorrow, and there will also be gifts. The first 1,000 bookers will get a 9.8% discount, or there will be a small gift, and the first 1,500 bookers will get a 9.9% discount. ”
Through this press conference, Sony's major shareholders have expressed their willingness to support Ichiro Hamasaki to engage in lithium batteries, and no longer complain about the lost opportunity to make money through OEM.
After the press conference, computer manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers around the world asked for orders, and even Lu Zheng instigated Leo, the CEO of Eos mobile phones, to place orders with them.
Lu Zheng explained on the phone: "Leo, the contract you signed with Sony must specify the specific date of delivery, and the time can be as late as next year."
The liquidated damages clause must be clear as follows: if Sony fails to deliver the goods on time due to Sony's own reasons, you should not overdo it to pay 200% of the liquidated damages, right? In addition to this, they must also be fined 50 million euros. ”
"I'm a good person, just 50 million euros, it should be pediatric for Sony!" Lu Zheng thought.
"Okay! I'll arrange for someone to go to the island country to sign the purchase contract. ”
"You can ask Koizumi Shinichiro to arrange the reception, and I'll let the secretary arrange it!"
It is better to move more between different companies, so that you can even avoid translation costs.
In recent days, Sony has seen orders from all over the world make them sign their orders softly. For these orders, they do not refuse to come, and for each contract signed, they charge a 30% advance payment as a deposit.
Do you like to buy it, anyway, there are many people queuing up to buy it!
Their sales manager was excited and scared when he saw the crowd waiting in line outside.
I was excited that Sony finally came, and I was worried about whether the glass door would be broken, although everyone was consciously queuing.
Ichiro Hamasaki was faintly worried in his heart, so many orders, many of the contracts signed now have been lined up until next year, not to mention that there are still so many people queuing up behind.
He always had a desire in his heart to find a more suitable place to expand his production.
He originally wanted to go to Huaxia, which is across the sea, where not only the labor cost is low, but also the tariff support and other policies for them are also very good, which makes the cost much lower.
In their words, "No, it's not just a high-tech product, but the island country has just experienced a financial crisis, and many people are unemployed, so domestic investment must be prioritized." ”
This one also said with a smile: "We have no choice, besides, you'd better not go against it, this is something that is prohibited by legislation, and there is no way to change it!"
Ichiro Hamasaki had nowhere to tell about his suffering, he asked people to search the entire island country, and now where there is suitable land, all of them were bought by a company called Star Investment.
You say buy it, as long as it is vacant land, the price is negotiable, but people have now completed the foundation construction of the house.
The cost of vacant land plus the cost of demolishing the foundation, he knows very well in his heart, the key is that people will not sell it at all.
He listened to the report of the people below that Star Investment had purchased a lot of vacant factories, but they were all places with excellent traffic conditions, and all of them had completed the seismic performance reinforcement transformation.
Now the whole island country is hard to find!
Ichiro Hamasaki decided to hold a meeting to emphasize the company's ability to execute.
In the matter of buying land and building a factory, he felt that some people in the company could not work hard, and they were completely acting as microphones.
There is no difference between employees who do not have executive power, and in this case, why not reshuffle the cards and make room for people with strong executive ability?
"You arrange for the company's vice president and above to have a meeting to discuss personnel issues!" Hamasaki Ichiro worriedly arranged for the secretary.
"You must get the land, otherwise you will be choked to death if you can't digest so many orders at all!" If that's the case, won't it make the industry laugh!" He secretly vowed in his heart that he must find a suitable factory, no matter how difficult it is!
