The due date is getting closer and closer, and when the cherry blossoms begin to bloom and spread in this island country, Lin Xiujing noticed that her contractions were becoming stronger and more irregular, and she touched her stomach with her hand, often feeling that it would suddenly become very hard and would last for a while before disappearing.

A few days ago, Ahn Junhyuk and Lin Xiujing, who had no experience and experienced this symptom for the first time, thought that they were about to give birth, and Ahn Junhyuk hurriedly called the hospital where he made an appointment, while arranging for the people around him to deal with various matters.

I was busy in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be a false alarm, just the throes of false contractions.

However, after this fright, Ahn Junhyuk seemed to be a little sensitive, and asked the hospital to ask an experienced obstetrician and gynecologist to live in the villa, always pay attention to Lin Xiujing's condition, and teach her some prenatal and postnatal knowledge. Quan Baogen, Che Yuancheng and others, who were originally in Tokyo, were also transferred to Shizuoka by him, so that there were people available at hand at any time, and he himself stayed by Lin Xiujing's side from that day on.

But business matters, after all, can't be completely abandoned.

"Anjun, I'm going to rush back to Japan soon, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, Anjun has time to get together?"

When he received this unfamiliar number, Ahn Junhyuk didn't expect it to be Kazuo Hirai, recently his main focus has been completely focused on Lin Xiujing, and other news is basically no longer concerned, and he naturally has an inaccurate grasp of Sony's movements.

Of course, he already judged that Sony's internal American gang and Japanese gang were about to decide the winner, and the PS3's one-sided reputation in the market and endless accidents gave Stringer an excellent excuse. How could he, who had long been dissatisfied with the power of conservatism, not take advantage of this to wield a blade and clear the way for his rule.

Hearing the invitation on the other end of the phone, Ahn Junhyuk looked back at the living room, Lin Xiujing, who was relearning breathing exercises under the guidance of the doctor, Ahn Junhyuk was silent.

As if sensing his hesitation, Kazuo Hirai showed patience: "Anjun has trouble with time?"

But there was no need to hide it from him, Ahn Jun-hyuk nodded: "Yes, my child is about to be born." So...... I hope Hirai-kun will forgive me. ”

There was a lag on the other end of the phone. Immediately, there was cheerful laughter and congratulations: "Ha Lu Ha Case...... I just got back from the United States. For the time being, nothing is light. If Yasu-kun doesn't mind, we'll meet in Shizuoka? Alas, I joined Sony after graduating from university. In the early years, I was busy with life, and in my middle age, I was busy with business, and I haven't taken a good walk in Japan for a long time.

Listening to his short sigh, An Junhyuk smiled: "Hirai-kun is doomed to be disappointed, there is no lavender for you to watch now, a glass of sake, a bowl of coarse tea and light rice, if Hirai-kun doesn't dislike it, I'll be waiting in Shizuoka." ”

"Haha

"I am the guest, you are the master, of course the master is the guest. ”

casually joked, but the meaning contained in it was enough to understand each other's meaning, Hirai Kazuo's laughter became more and more hearty, and after a few words of greeting, he hung up the phone.

In the spacious office, he is not alone, but also his secretary, an assistant who has been with him for 7 years and is almost an absolute confidant. Seeing that his boss hung up the phone, he suddenly lost his smile, sat behind the desk and frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, wearing glasses, looking quite Sven, and looking only in his early 30s, the secretary poured a glass of water and brought it closer.

"Sir, are you treating him too favorably?" Speaking of Ahn Jun Hyuk, the secretary squeezed his forehead imperceptibly, the last time Kazuo Hirai met Ahn Jun Hyuk, he was present, but he always felt that the other party was nothing remarkable.

He himself couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or jealousy, or he didn't want to think about it at all, and when he suddenly asked this question, it was not out of selfishness, but he really felt that Ahn Junhyuk was not enough to make Kazuo Hirai pay so much attention.

Hearing his words, behind the desk, Kazuo Hirai raised his head, on that slightly joyful face, his narrow eyes seemed to have some kind of magic that could look directly at everything, as if all a person's thoughts were hidden under that gaze, and the secretary hurriedly lowered his head.

Staring at him for a moment, Kazuo Hirai didn't answer.

After waiting for a while, without waiting for a reprimand, the secretary cautiously looked up, only to see that Kazuo Hirai had turned his head to look out the window, and followed his gaze, in this superb place, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office seemed to overlook the entire scenery of Tokyo.

As the footsteps of spring come into March, we are finally back on track, and the drunken winds of the ocean blow from the vast Pacific Ocean to the east, and the streets of Tokyo are blooming and dying in the wind.

Going, returning, blooming, and ending, in this vast view from above, the busy scene of the city is small but orderly.

"Every time I come back to Japan, my favorite thing to do, besides going to church and doing Mass, is standing in this office and looking at the view. ”

Kazuo Hirai suddenly spoke, he got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, put his hands behind his back, and stared down at the world below: "It's really shocking, the city expands like a flat chessboard, I can see that on every line, the cars that are speeding by, the pedestrians who are hurrying by, sometimes it rains, and in the fog of smoke and rain, the whole city seems to be floating on calm water...... Is there anything I like to watch?"

He asked, and the secretary shook his head.

"Order!" said Kazuo Hirai solemnly, raising his hand to make a smooth gesture, "Warm and endless law and order like flowing water!"

"It's not law or morality that exists alone, it's the whole of the order composed of these countless people, that ......kind of beauty," he bowed his head slightly, sighing, "Muto, I love this city very much, and I love Sony very much, for me, Sony is this kind of beauty, and I am proud to be a part of her, to be able to defend her...... But you tell me, Muto, what do you see when you stand here and look down at the world, at the world world below, at this luxurious headquarters building where we are?"

Muto was stunned, and under the forced gaze of Kazuo Hirai, he hesitated for a moment, and he replied in a low voice: "Sony...... Thriving?"

“…… Heh......"

The happy face that always seemed to be full of smiles, so people couldn't tell what his expression was at this moment, but Muto clearly felt that the moment his answer came out, the other party's shoulders collapsed slightly.

His lips twitched and he opened his mouth: "Sir......"

Kazuo Hirai raised his hand and interrupted him, "Muto, do you know what I saw? I saw it, a piece of butter ......."

A piece of butter that is melted, rotten, stinky, and crawling with flies on it!

This stinking, hideous-looking piece of garbage weighed down on the city, on the giant named Sony, its rotten juice dripping all over the giant's body, its stench filling every inch of space, every breath of the giant, every inch of skin, was covered with bacteria and viruses, they made it stagger, made it sluggish, made it exhausted!

Just like the city he loved, how many people's resentment and hope were buried under the feet of the hurried pedestrians, in the withered soil of the petals?

Muto can't understand his love, and he can't understand his pain.

It's even more incomprehensible that he is willing to do his best for Sony!

The same is true of the United States and the search for external alliances.

Stringer can give him the power to assert her, and Ahn Joon-hyuk gives him hope that might be enough to get her out of her predicament......

……

……

Hanging up the phone, Ahn Jun-hyuk was slightly distracted.

Sony was crucial in his conception, but the giant itself was a mess, and its problems were far from being summed up by the negative news that manifested itself, and without Akio Morita, without that absolutely powerful figure in the middle, the giant would have lost its way long ago.

The drawbacks of the ancient chaebol began to emerge, and the management focused on how to grasp the power and expand the influence, and was unable to adapt to the changes in the world - in other words, any group that has existed for more than 10 years has changed from being aggressive and united to fighting for power and forming gangs, which is a normal thing, the difference is only that some groups have a strong leader or heir to continue, and some groups are smashed by the tide of the times in serious internal friction.

Sony after the death of Akio Morita is the latter.

In fact, how could the former Sony CEOs not understand the damage of internal friction? But they are powerless to prevent or simply condone such a situation, in the final analysis, whether it is silence or connivance, it is for the sake of personal power and wealth, the former is afraid of exclusion and has no intention of fighting, and the latter benefits from the turmoil.

If it is said that after the death of Akio Morita, the people who are most enthusiastic about reorganizing Sony and cutting off the tumor are probably only the current Stringer and the future Kazuo Hirai.

But the difference is that Stringer's purpose is not simple, multinational business is inseparable from politics, and it is difficult for outsiders to see what political significance Stringer's appointment and the transformation of American-style corporate culture he promoted have for Sony.

Ahn Jun-hyuk's current identity is impossible to communicate with Stringer, and on the other hand, he does not have the strength to go to Stringer's troubled waters, so Kazuo Hirai is the only choice for him to maintain communication.

However, he is also not sure how brave this crazy man in the future of his dreams, who dares to make the most courageous decisions, in order to save Sony, who almost sold all of Sony, is afraid now?

Because...... The goal he sought to cooperate with was so big that it was simply not something that the two of them could swallow now...... (To be continued......)
