Chapter 1042: Sony Records' Choice!

For the mass production of MP3, Li Jun wanted to produce it through Sony Electronics, because at this time, Huaxia was not a big manufacturing country in later generations, and the supply chain of many components in Huaxia was not complete.

The island country is just suitable for its own MP3 production, and Sony has the world's supply and marketing channels, which can make MP3 spread to the market as soon as possible.

Therefore, not only production, but also sales, Sony is undoubtedly Li Jun has played a great role in the rapid popularization of MP3.

In the previous life, MP3 was invented in the late 90s, but it was not until around 2000 that it began to become popular in the world, because the big guy who made MP3 did not open up the sales channel of MP3.

Until someone else's company imitates it and replaces it, and then makes it seem as if the imitator has replaced the inventor of MP3.

MP3 is not much complicated, other companies spend effort to research, and they can quickly imitate success, so Li Jun wants to use the fastest speed to open up the world's sales channels, Sony is undoubtedly the best choice, Sony electronics, digital products are still very reputable all over the world.

He gave up part of the profits from MP3 production, but Li Jun had more thoughts and also got Sony Music Records.

At this time, looking at the MP3 in the young man's hand, the songs played in it, Akio Morita felt panicked, there was a kind of Sony Records that was about to end.

That little thing, you don't need a complicated disc at all. There is no need for such a big VCD, that little thing can be carried and sung at any time, who still uses VCD to listen to songs.

The era of records is coming to an end in the hands of that little thing.

But what did this young man say just now?

"Cooperation?"

"What does that mean?"

"How do we work together?" asked Akio Morita.

"I like to get the rights to many of Sony's songs, so I want to buy Sony Records, and as a condition, my MP3 production will be done by Sony Electronics. ”

Akio Morita felt that this young man was fierce, but he was not in a hurry.

It is certainly very profitable to produce this MP3.

But now Sony Records' annual record sales can have tens of millions of dollars in revenue, he is reluctant to sell, he just wants to get both, but obviously he can only get one, and he must not follow the other party's requirements, because the potential of that MP3 is too terrifying, its birth, he naturally knows as a businessman that an era of records is coming to an end, and then tens of millions of dollars of profit per year is impossible to talk about, and records are eliminated.

And now what the other party values is not the profitability of Sony Records, but the massive song copyrights of Sony Music Records, as well as Sony's excellent artists.

This seems like a simple multiple-choice question.

But Akio Morita did not immediately reply to Li Jun, but was ready to think about it for two days.

Lee Jun gave Akira Morita time to think and expressed his determination to take Sony Music Records, and if Akio Morita did not agree, he would launch an attack on Sony Music Records.

"Hostile takeovers. ”

Akio Morita understands this business method.

Sony suffered heavy losses after the real estate bubble in the island country, and then the economy declined, and due to the business recession and the serious economic crisis, Sony was forced to cooperate with Nintendo, and the two were united to survive the crisis.

But Nintendo is a white-eyed wolf, it made money in the field of games and got out of the corporate crisis, but it abandoned Sony without hesitation.

Especially in electronic digital products, the CD-ROM console, which was originally cooperating with Nintendo, was about to succeed and was about to see profits, but it was stabbed by Nintendo, which caused Sony to suffer huge losses. And the fact that Columbia Pictures and record companies that were acquired before have been losing money has made Sony even worse.

Sony can't stand the other party's suppression.

The other party is very wealthy, and now the very weak Sony head office can only be beyond the reach of Sony Music Records, and it is estimated that it will not be able to resist the other party in a few rounds and will be taken down.

Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to cooperate with the other party.

Find a silver lining.

So just after thinking about it for a day, Akio Morita called Li Jun back.

Expressed that cooperation can be discussed.

In front of a Japanese restaurant.

A beautiful waitress in a kimono saw Li Jun's arrival and hurriedly came over to bow, and then took slippers and warmly entertained Li Jun in Chinese.

"Welcome to Mr. Lee. ”

"Your Chinese is good. ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment, I have been in Huaxia for a while before. ”

"I see, no wonder. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

The beautiful island waiter changed Li Jun's slippers, and then said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Akio Morita is waiting for you inside, please come with me." ”

"Good. ”

Li Jun replied.

The sound of wooden slippers.

Walk inside the restaurant.

Li Jun saw some island men with their heads tilted up, holding their stomachs and posing as big men, but those waiters seemed to be very accustomed to the kind of arrogance of island men, and even the more they put on the shelf, the more attentive they seemed to be.

This was continued to be verified in the box from Akio Morita.

"Welcome to Mr. Li. ”

When Akio Morita saw Li Jun coming, he hurriedly got up.

"Huh. ”

Li Jun smiled and shook hands with Akio Morita.

"Mr. Li, let's talk while eating, Mr. Li should wash his hands. ”

"Hmm. ”

Here Akio Morita also went to wash his hands, but his shelf was very large, and his tone towards the beautiful waiter was completely different from his enthusiasm for Li Jun, like a different person, his face was full of fierceness, his face was not as kind as forward, and he looked like an old man with a strange temper, but the beautiful waiter was because the more he put on the shelf, the more diligent he served him to wash his face, wash his hands, and rinse his mouth......

Li Jun saw that the innocent and beautiful island waiter also came to him, and he felt uncomfortable like that, so he waved his hand and said that he would come.

Li Jun doesn't like the appearance of island people who like to act in front of the waiter.

In his opinion, the people of the island country have the inferior nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

The people of the island country are more afraid of the American imperialists, everything is to please, even kneel and lick, and they have no temper at all towards the American imperialists, but for the Koreans who are weaker than his time, Huaxia often shows their ugly faces, and the island people keep their promises but do not keep their reputations, do not be late or leave early when they have a stake, are as loyal as dogs, and don't expect them to fulfill their verbal promises when they have no interests.

The island people as a whole give people a sense of yin.

So to be honest, Li Jun doesn't like the island country very much, not only because of historical problems, but also because their quality is just a disguise under the sun.

After washing his hands, Li Jun sat down.

At the Japanese table, Akio Morita invited Li Jun to eat sashimi.

"Mr. Li, this fish fillet is delicious. ”
