Chapter Ninety-Three: Life 1/2

For the attitude of the person in charge of Sony's negotiations, Ahn Junhyuk felt very clearly, he naturally knew what to do, in the final analysis, this world has always been the status of the standard, if it is not for the actual owner of J.H, if it is not for the rapid expansion of J.H's assets, I am afraid that many things will not be free, let alone the favor of the real power figures of international large enterprises like Sony.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the kindness he received from Kazuo Hirai after waking up this morning, which was relayed by Kwon Bo Gen.

The other party left a message asking him to spend more time in Japan, and Kazuo Hirai invited him to a party within Sony after he was ready to deal with the affairs of the United States.

This reminded him of the meeting with Kazuo Hirai yesterday, and after coming back yesterday, he has been thinking about why Kazuo Hirai suddenly talked about the future of the music industry in front of him, and why he had to carefully dissect his original goal.

There is no business conflict between the two sides, on the contrary, there are many opportunities for cooperation, not only in the field of audio-visual, but also in computer entertainment. J.H announced the establishment of J.H Network at the end of last year, temporarily giving priority to the operation of the game business, although the specific product launch plan has not yet been clarified, but J.H Network has played the role of a third-party publisher since its establishment, and its business scope not only does not conflict with Sony Electronic Entertainment, but may complement it in the future.

In this way, Kazuo Hirai's attitude needs to be carefully pondered.

His thoughts diverged from this, and he thought of the difficulties that Sony has faced in recent years. Stringer took office before the decline of Sony Electric. As a result, many businesses are operating at a loss, and in order to share the risk, Stringer has further spun off its core resources on the basis of the original "internationalization strategy" of Sony's board of directors, and expanded its core business from a single to a diversified one.

Audio-visual began to become the mainstay, the entertainment business began to become more important than electrical appliances, and the situation that once dominated consumer electronics within the group no longer existed, and the risks caused by the malaise of the consumer electronics business were also dispersed...... From the perspective of the present, this decision is undoubtedly a success. But if you look at it from a different angle. The expansion of the business scope has been accompanied by the dilution of the resources available within the group.

Sony Pictures has become the world's largest film conglomerate, and it is impossible to maintain the group's film library alone. More money needs to be invested in new films. Find new profitable series. Sony Music is learning the lessons of the iTunes fiasco and trying to build a convenient channel for distributing music like iTunes. Completion of integration with its electronic products - to establish a new distribution model, the end player also needs to be redesigned to support, and the development of associated processors and other components also requires money.

DevelopmentDevelopmentDevelopment...... The overabundance of technology needs to be converted into profits, so it began to get involved in PC, TV, audio and other fields, and more energy was dispersed.

If there is no change in history, Sony with such development may eventually grow into an incomparably huge giant with tentacles throughout various industries, but if we turn our eyes beyond Sony, look at the overall trend of the technology world in the past two years, it is not difficult to see that some changes are quietly forming.

The Internet put forward the web2.0, wireless high-speed network began to promote in many countries on the earth, the bandwidth is becoming wider and wider, the narrow channel that blocked people in the past, is becoming more and more smooth, thanks to the progress of these technologies, people are gradually not satisfied with the current way of communication, not satisfied with the single function of their own electrical products, for what network to divide telecommunications network and mobile network?

When these doubts and grievances arise, the undercurrent of change quietly surges.

In this era, only Jobs and Ahn Jun Hyuk know that the moment the iPhone was launched, the future era will no longer be the era of independent operation of electrical products, the network is interacting, and its connection is the interaction between people, the interaction between people and machines, and the interaction between machines and machines...... The survival of future products is no longer the competition of a single device and a single region, but the competition of the entire product ecological chain.

All products need to be integrated, only in this way, in order to form a strong foundation in the interaction of the network, resist the torrent of change, can not achieve this, only the end of being submerged!

Sony's risk-sharing model is correct at the moment, but the finer it is, the more difficult it will be to integrate in the future, and it can be said that when Stringer set out to save Sony, Sony missed the best chance to turn around.

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't know whether these problems had formed a correct crisis theory within Sony, but after yesterday's separation, he carefully recalled that Kazuo Hirai recognized the future trend of the music industry, does it mean that his eyes have also jumped out of the music industry and involved a wider range of fields, and he has a vague understanding of a similar sense of crisis?

If this guess is correct, contact Kazuo Hirai for a message before he rushes back to the United States in the morning......

After the meeting, in the empty conference room, Ahn Jun-hyuk paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, on the round conference table, a cup of coffee had cooled down, the faint heat floated into the air, and the cooled milk fat floated on the surface of the coffee.

"Kazuo Hirai was able to analyze my layout of J.H, which means that he has formed the concept of product integration in his mind, which is the initial form of the product ecological chain...... But ......"

Ahn Joon-hyuk's footsteps abruptly paused, and a vague thought formed in his brain, which quickly became clear.

Kazuo Hirai...... Sony...... Electronics Division...... Bloated institutions...... Save......

A line that had never been considered before, or dared not to think about, was faintly strung together, and the light of dusk sprinkled down, lengthening his staring shadow, and in the distance, the busy harbor where seabirds flew, the whistle came across the sky, and his eyes gradually brightened in the backlit outline.

……

……

After the itinerary was confirmed, J.H Entertainment's entourage began to follow the Sony personnel according to the agreement and got to work.

There are all aspects of communication involved. Including venues, publicity, security, etc., according to the agreement, J.H Entertainment has the right to supervise, but they are busy, Ahn Jun-hyuk has nothing to do, and after a conference call with Park Young-joon and others in the hotel in China, after listening to the report on the acquisition, Ahn Jun-hyuk returned to the hospital at night.

When I got off the bus at the door of the hotel, I happened to meet Kuda Hayao who came to pick up Sakura. Ahn Joon-hyuk was thinking about things at the time. It wasn't until the other party patted him on the shoulder that he reacted.

"Oh, it's Mr. Kuta. ”

"Anjun, good evening. ”

Compared to the last time we met. Kuda Junxiong's face became more and more tired. It was originally a fairly neat appearance. It's also starting to be a little decadent, and the suit hasn't been changed for about two days, and it's already crumpled and tarnished. The short beard protrudes from the chin and lips, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the dark circles under the eyes caused by the lack of rest can be faintly seen, and the face is a little pale.

Ahn Junhyuk looked at it for a while, didn't say anything, just exchanged a few words with him, and saw that he was absent-minded and slow to respond when he spoke, so he didn't say much, and the two took the elevator to the ward.

The sky was dark, the lights in the ward had already been turned on, Xiujing and Jisoo were taking Sakura to eat, on the day they were admitted to the hospital, after Lin Xiujing didn't want to eat the hospital's nutritious meal, Ahn Junhyuk instructed the nursing staff to go out to buy it in the future, and under the money offensive, this request was naturally satisfied. When the two appeared at the door of the ward, Sakura was spreading her two small hands, lifting her toes, and looking at a chicken leg hanging above her head with wide eyes, ah-ah screaming to get it in her hand, but Jisoo laughed evilly, dangling the chicken leg back and forth to tease her.

"Call Auntie, call Auntie and I'll give it to you. ”

"Auntie, Auntie, Auntie!"

"Hmm...... It's not nice to call you Auntie, let's call Sister instead!"

"Sister, sister, sister!"

"Oh, my sister doesn't sound good, let's call it back......"

“………… Ahh

"Ah, stinky Sakura, don't bite my hand!"

Seeing this scene, Jiuduo Junxiong, who was already preoccupied, showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and apologized to Ahn Junhyuk: "Alas, children are not sensible......"

"Hehe, it's nothing, so it looks lively and cute. ”

Looking at the noisy but happy picture in the ward, the two stood outside the door invariably, did not rush in, but watched quietly through the observation window. For a moment, looking into the ward in a daze, Sakura, who finally got the chicken leg and trotted to Xiujing's side with a grimace, Kuda Juno touched his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes.

Ahn Junhyuk stopped him and pointed to the sign next to the door prohibiting smoking, Jiuduo Junxiong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay, there's a smoking area over there, I'll take you there. ”

Interrupting his apology, Ahn Joon-hyuk took him to a ventilated empty area at the end of the corridor, the windows were open, two rows of simple plastic chairs stood with their backs to each other, a slight wind blew in from the black rendering of the air outside, and under the light, there were already a few people smoking on the chairs, lighting a fire and extinguishing the light.

Accompanying Jiuduo Junxiong to sit down, he took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Does An Jun smoke?"

"Nope. Ahn Junhyuk waved his hand and said with a smile: "After my lover is pregnant, I rarely touch it again." ”

"Hehe, yes, it's better for pregnant women to smell less smoke...... "I lit a cigarette and took a hard breath, the rich smoke changed under the night breeze, and faded in a blink of an eye, and the light sprinkled down, casting a shadow on his somewhat fluffy hair, the fire flashed, and then dimmed: "When my lover was pregnant with Sakura, my smoking addiction was actually quit, no matter how much I didn't care for my body, I always had to give the child a healthy environment...... Now that I think about it, time flies so fast, it's been almost 6 years since I quit smoking, and Sakura is 5 and a half years old, and the days when I hugged her when I was still a little older seemed to be yesterday......"

He gestured, a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and then the smile disappeared in the rising smoke.

Silent.

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't ask him if he had quit and picked it up again, every family has a difficult scripture to read, many factors will bring pressure, and pressure makes people have to choose other ways to relieve depression, some people gamble, some people drink too much, some people take drugs, compared to them, smoking is obviously the most economical and least harmful way.

He thought about this silently, and after a while, he heard Kuta Junxiong ask, "On the day An Jun knew that day, would I recognize you for Lu?"

Ahn Joon-hyuk looked at him.

He smiled silently, and his lungs irritated from the smoke inhaled. Cough a few times: "I'm a Sony employee...... Ahem...... Sony has long been rumored internally,An Jun will come to Japan to promote "Wang Nan", you don't know how to do it, you are very popular among those young female staff, a few days ago, when your J.H team was invited to visit Sony, you didn't see that scene, I don't know how many girls are dressed up beautifully, I just hope you can appear, of course. Later, they were disappointed. ”

Go to Sony for a visit. There is only an accompanying team, but Kwon Bo-gen's report did not say that Ahn Jun-hyuk's current identity made many people in the group subconsciously ignore his identity as an idol star.

"It's my pleasure. Ahn Joon-hyuk smiled.

Kuda continued to smoke with his head down. There was silence for a while. Only then continued: "Seriously. I envy An Jun, hehe, of course not An Jun's appearance. No matter how you look, it's all given by your parents, and I envy your abilities...... Obviously, they are all from civilian backgrounds, but you can be on an equal footing with our president in just a few years, and ordinary people like us can only look up. I have dreamed of such talents and abilities countless times, but when I woke up, I still saw my little rental house, and I could even hear the snoring of my neighbor next door as I sat on the bed. ”

"But I didn't complain about this before, I know that I am actually much happier than many people, I have a virtuous wife, I have a lovely daughter, I come home every day exhausted, I open the door, I see the smoke rising from the kitchen connected to the living room, I see my wife look back and smile at me, I see Sakura put down her toys, trot over and say to me, 'Welcome Daddy'...... Even if you are a little tired, what is it?"

That kind of life may really be the happiest day in his memory, so much so that when he talked about it at this time, his sad expression softened a lot, and the smile that fell into the memory crawled all over his cheeks, but this smile, even if it was like a drop of water falling into the ink, only a ripple, and it was never seen again.

Taking a deep breath of smoke, the smoke turned around his lungs and spit out, the wind blew, and the smoke dispersed in an instant, revealing his face: "But life......"

After smoking a cigarette, he kept lighting another one, Ahn Junhyuk looked at his slightly trembling hands, and after the smoke was blown away, he was exposed to the halo, with lingering eyes, Ahn Junhyuk clearly saw that after that confusion, it was pain!

Life......

In a word, the bitterness and helplessness were exhausted, the elevator doors near the smoking area opened and closed, some people went in, some people came out, gathering invisible smoke, and the light and fire that flickered and flickered, Ahn Junhyuk took in the pain.

In the row of seats behind him, someone's phone rang, a middle-aged man who was smoking a cigarette picked up the phone, walked to the side, the sound of the ringtone and the loud call, broke the silence in the firelight, smoked a cigarette, Jiuduo Junxiong wiped his face, the pain was like the sky outside the window, the plane signal light flashed in the clouds, disappeared under the fog, he turned his head, looked at An Junhe and smiled: "Don't talk about this, I used to dislike An Jun very much like many male colleagues in the company...... Hehe, male idols, originally attracted the hatred of male compatriots, but that day Sakura told me that you are actually a good person. ”

Good?

Such words make Ahn Junhyuk a little unfamiliar, in his impression, he seems to have never received such an evaluation, in the dream, I don't know how many people want to drink his blood and eat his flesh, "Ahn Junhyuk" is the devil in their mouths, a cruel and ruthless butcher, between thoughts, it is bloody and bloody. Even now, people have never thought that he is a good person, and the image he shows to the outside world has always been a shrewd, cunning, hard-nosed businessman who does not care about foreign affairs, and does not hesitate to set off a financial whirlwind of mobile phone manufacturing for his own purposes, I don't know how many stocks have plummeted because of him, I don't know how many people have gone bankrupt because of this, and I don't know how many factories have closed down, and how many people have lost their jobs.

He was praised for his vision and ambition...... But no one ever said he was a good guy.

Ahn Joon-hyuk opened his mouth, wondering whether he should laugh at himself or laugh at himself?

Kuda Junxiong didn't notice the momentary contradiction in his expression, just smoked a cigarette silently, paused, and thanked him: "Xie Lu Xie In the past two days, you agreed to help take care of Sakura, since last year, I have rarely seen her so happy, I ...... I owe her a lot...... I ......"

The words came to an abrupt end here, he lowered his head and muttered a few words, the shadows were covered, and Ahn Junhyuk couldn't see his expression.

When he raised his head again, he had already snuffed out the cigarette butt and got up: "In short, Xie Lu Xie Anjun, it's not too early, I should take Sakura back, Anjun, see you again!"

He tightened his crumpled suit and was about to leave, Ahn Jun-hyuk looked at his back, and suddenly said, "If you have any difficulties, can you tell me...... Although there are no relatives and no reason, my wife and I like Sakura very much, and we can help a little!"

This sentence was said after he hesitated, maybe it was because of Sakura, maybe because of his words, maybe, because of the "good guy"?

Who knows......

Many human thoughts are generated in impulses, and he can control his impulses, but sometimes, he can't relax a little, otherwise, what is the difference between him and that "Ahn Jun Hyuk"?

Ahead, Kuda Junxiong's back froze, but he didn't stop after all, just turned around and smiled: "With your words, I'm very happy." ”

Then, go!

The sound of leather shoes tapping in the corridor gradually moved away, and after a while, the night crawled all over the window, and in the somewhat deserted corridor, Sakura's lively words of farewell to Xiujing and Zhixiu sounded, and the sound collided and echoed in this space, and he heard Sakura say regretfully that he did not see his uncle again.

The heart twitched...... (To be continued......)
