Chapter 298: The Sheng Tian Family

……

"Mr. Guo, please wait a minute!"

Just as Guo Shouyun walked out of the hotel, a voice from behind him stopped him.

"Is that you?"

"Mr. Guo knows me?"

"I don't know, but I've read some of your father's writings, and he's a brilliant entrepreneur!"

A smile appeared on Ieyasu Morita's face.

"On behalf of my father, I thank Mr. Guo for his compliment. I'm sure he would be very happy if he heard it!"

Guo Shouyun nodded slightly, and waved his hand to signal that the bodyguard didn't need to stop the other party, "Mr. Sheng Tian caught up, is there something wrong?"

"Can you sit down with Mr. Guo and have a chat? ”

Seeing the eagerness in the other party's eyes, after thinking for a while, Guo Shouyun did not refuse.

"Let's go to the restaurant!"

"Thank you!"

The two went to the Hilton restaurant, ordered two suppers, and sat down opposite each other.

"Can you say it now?"

Ieyasu Morita nodded, "Sony hopes to be able to cooperate with Mr. Guo!"

"Cooperation, how to cooperate, where to cooperate?" Guo Shouyun smiled and asked with interest.

"Games and movies. We can work together on both games and movies. Mr. Guo knows that we at Sony are one of the world's top three game producers. Mr. Guo's Matrix Games has a series of classic games such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Call of Duty, and Road to Survival. If we work together, Matrix Games can buy them all over the world through Sony's channels. ”

In addition, Sony Pictures is one of the seven giants of Hollywood, with a strong production team, publicity team, marketing channels, and connections. And Mr. Guo has a series of classic copyrights in his hands. Of course, your Matrix Pictures, while doing well, has limited production capacity. If we work together, we can make the copyright in Mr. Guo's hands into a movie and put it on the screen to the greatest extent. I believe that this will not only enhance Mr. Guo's popularity, but also greatly increase your income!"

Looking at Ieyasu Morita who swore and had a good expression of "I'm all for you", Guo Shouyun smiled.

"We have been cooperating with Ubisoft in the sales of game discs, and in the field of game production and sales, its strength is not bad at Sony, so why should we cooperate with Sony? As for the movie, if Sony can make "The Da Vinci Code" well, we may be able to go further!"

After a pause, Guo Shouyun stood up. Originally, he agreed to sit down and talk with the other party on the basis of the other party's voluntary withdrawal in the bid for "The Ball at Moulin Rouge" and Sony's famous name. How do you know that Ieyasu Morita's so-called cooperation is just empty vernacular. This instantly made him lose interest.

"If Mr. Morita has nothing else to do, then I'll go first!"

"Mr. Guo, please wait a minute!" Under Guo Shouyun's calm gaze, Ieyasu Morita gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and pressed a few buttons, "Mr. Guo, please look!"

After taking a curious look at it, Guo Shouyun frowned slightly, "This is..."

"Li Sheng, a famous calligrapher and painter of the Tang Dynasty, copied Wu Daozi's "Golden Bridge", the Song Dynasty Ru kiln brush wash, and Rembrandt's "Saul and David" oil painting. I know Mr. Guo loves antiques, and if you cooperate with me, these three precious works of art will all be yours!"

After looking at the somewhat blurry photos on your phone, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course!"

Morita Ieyasu nodded firmly.

"With the abilities of your Morita family, I don't doubt the authenticity of these artworks. It's just that I'm curious, what is the benefit to you of trading these three priceless treasures for working with me? After all, Sony and the Morita family are two different concepts. ”

"Mr. Guo thinks it's stupid for me to exchange my family's wealth for benefits that belong to Sony, a listed company?"

"No, I believe that there is a specific reason behind everything. So I'm curious why Mr. Morita did this?"

Looking at the inquiring eyes of the man opposite, Ieyasu Morita hesitated for a while, "I have given my trust to Mr. Guo, and at the same time, I also hope that Mr. Guo will keep my affairs secret." ”

"No problem!" Guo Shouyun nodded affirmatively.

"I want to take back control of Sony!"

"Take back control of Sony?" Guo Shouyun thought a lot for a moment.

"That's right, I'm going to prove him wrong, Sony can only grow in my hands. Fukayuki Idei is simply not qualified for the position of chairman of the board of directors of Sony, and looking at what he has done over the years, Sony has been regressing!"

Looking at Ieyasu Morita's excited appearance, Guo Shouyun said in his heart: "Is it another plan to try to restore after the son of a gentleman loses the inheritance of the family business?"

If you look at the history of the development of the world's largest enterprises, you will find that it is almost the history of the development of family enterprises. According to statistics, 80% of the world's businesses are family-owned, and 37% of the world's top 500 companies are family-owned or operated. In all economically developed regions of the world, family businesses dominate. Especially in the United States, more than 75% of enterprises are family businesses, accounting for 40% of the gross national product, including the famous Johnson & Johnson, Ford, Procter & Gamble, Disney, Motorola, and Disney.

Similarly, Sony in the last century also belonged to the family business, but Akio Morita did not hand it over to his son when he was dying, but like many family businesses, he catered to the trend of world reform, introduced a modern enterprise management system, and handed over the control of the enterprise to professional managers.

In general, the founder of the family business believes that his descendants are too unscrupulous to lead the company, and the changes he takes to avoid his efforts being ruined.

However, there are too few self-aware people in this world, and there are too many people who think that they have talents. So, the strife came.

Of course, he understands that he will not refuse the benefits sent to his door without harming his own interests. After all, the combined value of the three works of art is close to $200 million.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"I led the negotiations with the Matrix Group, and the two sides signed a copyright cooperation agreement for nine films and five games!

Guo Shouyun nodded.

"If I do agree to your terms, do you think you can achieve your goal?"

"Of course!"

"I'll go back and think about this matter and give you an answer!" Guo Shouyun replied after taking a deep look at Morita Ieyasu, who was showing confidence.

"Please Mr. Guo seriously consider it. Once you agree, the three works of art will be delivered to you as quickly as possible. In addition, the Morita family has been operating in Japan for hundreds of years, and during this time, the collection of fine art is extremely rich. I believe that there are many things that can satisfy Mr. Guo!"

"I'm really looking forward to that!"

After smiling and shaking hands with the other party, Guo Shouyun said goodbye and then turned to leave.

The next day, Wendy took a stack of materials and put it in front of Guo Shouyun.

"Boss, this is the information about the Morita family and Morita Ieyasu in our database!"

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and intelligence is the top priority. Therefore, since the resources in his hands have become abundant, Guo Shouyun has consciously established an intelligence team to collect business intelligence and internal information of major giants in various countries in the world.

Of course, because of the short period of time, these materials are still very rudimentary, and most of them come from newspapers, magazines and other media, but even so, they have already played a certain auxiliary role in Guo Shouyun's analysis.

"Judging from the information, this Morita Ieyasu is a guy with great ambitions and talents, and it is indeed a wise decision for Akio Morita to give up his inheritance of Sony!"

"In the 70s of the 20th century, Sony's hardware division, led by Ieyasu Morita, insisted on using its own technology "Betamax format" in the VCR market, and as a result, it was surpassed by the VHS format of its competitors. Mini Discs and digital camera memory cards have also been isolated by ignoring international standards. Later, when he was leading Columbia Pictures, there was another 7-year loss, and if it weren't for Howard Stringer, I'm afraid that Sony Entertainment would have gone bankrupt now. Failure after failure, if I were Akio Morita, I would not give the company I worked so hard to build all my life to such a person!" Wendy said with a frown.

After a pause, he looked at Guo Shouyun, who was looking at the information with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Boss, you don't really plan to work with him, do you?"

Guo Shouyun glanced at the pretty secretary, then shook his head with a smile.

"I love antiques, but that's more for investment. When it comes to important decisions for the future of the business, I don't let preferences cloud my judgment. However, the resources of Sony Pictures and Sony Interactive Entertainment are really good, and I don't mind working with them!"

"You...!"

After interrupting Wendy's words, Guo Shouyun continued: "Don't worry, I'm measured!"

Dealing with Sony doesn't hurt for him. Moreover, he also intends to be able to cut a piece of fat from Sony through a little 'investment' before when this clayfoot giant is in trouble. Of course, that's 10 years from now, so let's not talk about it for now.

After putting down the information in his hand, Guo Shouyun turned his head and glanced at the newspaper next to him, picked it up and flipped through it briefly, "Why are there so few newspapers today? Why don't the Wall Street Journal and USA Today?"

After turning his head and seeing the expression on Wendy's face, Guo Shouyun, who had been with him for two years, quickly guessed the reason.

"Is there something that has been reported above that is not good for me?"

"Boss, these media report all day long, you don't have to care!"

"I think you care. Okay, let's take it out, covering our ears and stealing the bell has no effect on the outside world except to fool ourselves!"

Hearing this, Wendy also knew that she couldn't hide. Therefore, he turned around and took out two newspapers from the cabinet next to him and handed them to Guo Shouyun.

The movement was taken casually and put in front of him, and Guo Shouyun's originally smiling face instantly froze.

The Wall Street Journal had a bold black headline on the front page: 'On 9/11, when the whole of America was in mourning, Bruce Guo made an astonishing fortune from the capital markets.'

"$20 billion, when America is in mourning, someone is reveling!" is the title of USA Today.

The content of the article blatantly links the 9/11 incident with Guo Shouyun's profits in the gold market. Although it does not mention what the terrorist attack has to do with him. But at this particular time, when the whole of America is in turmoil, the stock market is plummeting, and thousands of families are in grief, these two articles are naked slaughter.

Guo Shouyun hardly had to guess that those who were sad, jealous, and hated the rich would immediately shift the spearhead of their pain to him after seeing these two articles.

"His heart is punishable!"

After Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart, his eyes revealed endless coldness! Having been reborn from the Internet era and 20 years after the information explosion, he really knew too well what it meant to be 'three people become tigers' and 'people are terrible to say'.

"Whoa!"

After casually throwing the two newspapers to the ground, Guo Shouyun said quickly: "Wendy, call William Zhang immediately and ask him to gather the major media, the more the better." An hour later, I'm going to hold a press conference at Phoenix headquarters. ”

"Yes!"

Looking at Wendy's back as she turned away, Guo Shouyun said to himself: "It's not my style to fight back when you are beaten!"
