Chapter Seventy-Nine

Hearing her request, Ahn Jun-hyuk was a little embarrassed.

This time to Japan, although the promotion of "Wang Nan" is the main purpose of the trip, but for him, it is more important to take this opportunity to contact the top management of Sony Corporation in Japan - it is Sony Pictures Entertainment that bought the East Asian screening rights of "Wang Nan", since the acquisition of MGM in 2004, Sony Pictures has become the largest film production and distribution company in the world, but the industry also understands that the seemingly huge Sony is actually strong in the outside world.

In fact, Sony Colombia has been in a loss-making state for a long time, and it is also the highest loss among many acquisitions in the 80s when the Japanese economy invaded the United States. It wasn't until Howard Stringer began to preside over Sony in the United States in '97 that he slowly turned a profit.

However, in fact, Sony's situation has not improved, Howard Stringer has limited energy after all, when he led Sony's acquisition of MGM, and took advantage of this to be promoted to Sony's CEO, because of the distraction, Sony Pictures went downhill again.

At present, Sony Pictures barely maintains the main source of profits, is the three major studios (Columbia, United Arts, MGM) after the merger of the expanded film library, in the case of film production temporarily unable to do anything, Sony in the past two years to increase the pace of excellent film sources, enveloping excellent production companies, on the one hand, naturally hope to occupy a wider range of home video market, on the other hand, but also to promote the "Blu-ray" standard.

In July last year, BD (Blu-ray) and HD standards were in a battle. With the BD camp led by Sony, Philips, and Panasonic, and the HD camp led by Toshiba, Sanyo, and Microsoft, the two sides began to fight in the field of consumer electronics.

The promotion of this standard, the support of film companies is obviously crucial, and now in South Korea, there are only Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics in the BD camp, and no film and television company has joined, and high-quality DVD discs are far from being launched. Samsung and LG can be left alone, but the audio-visual business is the pillar industry of Sony. Most of them will not give up on the Korean market. This can be seen from the fact that Sony released a number of its films in South Korea last year.

With that in mind, Ahn Joon-hyuk believes that J.H. Entertainment has a basis for working with Sony β€” if Sony Pictures doesn't consistently lose money, of course. He wouldn't have gotten up anyway.

The meaning of the word "cooperation". Probably the two are on an equal footing. If one side is too strong, then it is not cooperation, but the strong exploiting the weak.

Shouldering such a task. Ahn Jun Hyuk didn't feel how idle he was after going to Japan, and he only brought Xiujing because Xiujing was nearly 30 weeks pregnant, and it was the time when he was insecure, and he couldn't leave her alone no matter what.

With a pregnant woman by her side, and then with Jisoo's words......

"Can you not go?"

Hearing him say this, Jisoo gave him a blank look and ignored him.

"I still have a lot of things to do over there, so I'll take you with ......me," Ahn Joon-hyuk tried to explain, but before he could speak, he heard Jisoo snort: "I just know that I think I'm a burden!"

Her eyes were red, she turned her face away, and in the swing, the long black hair hanging from the edge of her hat flew in the cold air, and although she was wrapped in a down jacket, her thin shoulders twitched slightly, as if she was crying.

Ahn Junhyuk sighed, stopped talking, and gently helped her push the swing.

She still ignored him.

Ahn Joon-hyuk continued to push, and after a while, her choked voice came clearly.

Ahn Joon-hyuk stopped pushing.

In the inertia of the swing, feeling that there was no force behind him, Jisoo covered his face with both hands and cried: "Woo...... You really think I'm a burden, it's your drag, right?"

Ahn Jun-hyuk shook his head and smiled, suddenly hugged her, his body flew suddenly, and he was caught off guard, Jisoo screamed, and the hands covering his face subconsciously let go, and hugged Ahn Jun-hyuk's neck.

The sun is scattered, and there is not a trace of tears on that beautiful face.

The next moment, Jisoo also realized that he had been exposed, glared at him angrily, and slapped him on the shoulder: "Let go of me!

Ahn Joon-hyuk ignored her, took her in his arms, and sat on the swing. Jisoo's weight is very light, and the shelves and chains that support and hang the swing are also made of steel, but there is no situation where he can't support it, so he sits on it with Jisoo in his arms, and Ahn Junhyuk slams his toes on the ground a little harder, and the swing swings high.

"Yikes!"

In the short exclamation, such a height made Jisoo, who had long been accustomed to the perspective of a wheelchair, turn pale with fright for a while, and it took a while to get used to it, and he wanted to punch him with a frightened expression, but the swing shook his body and fell suddenly, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged him.

"Haha Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled proudly, the two have been together for 20 years, what kind of careful thinking is her brain, and he still doesn't know what to do?

"Nasty! no sympathetic bastard!"

"Hey, he's still so arrogant, so let's be a little higher. ”

"Ah...... Don't!!"

The iron frame trembled, the snow shook down, and after a while, Jisoo was so frightened that he begged for mercy, and Ahn Junhyuk, who was smiling and smiling, finally reduced the force of the push under his feet, and the frequency of the swing swaying gradually stabilized, but the amplitude was still very large.

Jisoo, who was tightly curled in his arms and didn't dare to move, felt the coldness of the cold wind blowing on his face between rising and falling, and slowly squinted his eyes. At a certain moment, I finally had the courage to raise my head, and the blue sky, white clouds, iron frames, and silver-decorated treetops in my field of vision, everything was fluttering, and it felt like flying.

Sideways hugging her brother's waist, because of the squeezing, the folds of the down jacket seemed to bury her whole body, looking extremely petite, the fluff on the edge of the hood trembled, and for a moment, she whispered: "I...... I just want to be with you......"

His toes tapped the ground again, Ahn Junhyuk looked at the sun that crossed the treetops in front of him, and the golden light shuttled through, as if it was melted by the light and heat, and the smile on the corner of his mouth softened: "Heh." Alright!"

Jisoo blushed a little, sticking to her brother's words like this, she basically didn't say it when she grew up, she was really naΓ―ve, but ...... This is necessary to achieve the goal.

He smiled contentedly and rubbed the side of his brother's chest a few times, so he felt relieved and warm, as if he had forgotten the swing that was swinging.

"Do you want to play?" Ahn Jun Hyuk asked with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Jisoo nodded subconsciously. The next moment, a strong push on the swing soared, screaming through the clear sky above the park, faintly mixed with smug laughter and begging for mercy......

……

When the sun begins to set over the mountains that rise above the southwestern horizon. Ahn Joon Hyuk took Jisoo home.

It's been a long time since I've played on a swing. Although screaming. But later, Jisoo asked for a higher swing, which was rare for his sister to be happy. Ahn Jun-hyuk naturally accompanies him. I don't know how long I played, but I was probably tired of laughing, and Jisoo, who was a little weak, quieted down in his arms, and slept in the middle, and woke up energetic and interested.

Until she pushed her home in the evening, she was still excited, and as soon as she entered the house, she went upstairs in a wheelchair to find Xiujing, according to her words, to show off to her sister-in-law that she would also go to Japan.

Although the itinerary has been decided, there are many things to prepare. He doesn't need to worry much about the day-to-day operation of the company, but because the main purpose of this time is to develop overseas business, it is impossible for him to run over with Xiujing and Jisoo alone, and the accompanying assistant team is a must, and J.H Entertainment and J.H Music will also send a considerable delegation to set foot on Japanese soil with him.

J.H Entertainment is still eating the old book of "Wang Nan", and the main reason for going there is to try to contact and cooperate with Sony, but J.H Music's business is promising, Baek Ji-young's "Don't Love Anymore", Yoon Mi-rae's "Don't Leave" and Bigbang's "Lies", these songs that have proven successful in South Korea, may not be able to try to release export versions in Japan.

The responsibility of the J.H Music delegation is to investigate the market as soon as possible after landing in Japan, and if the business is possible, then J.H Music will be the first to establish an overseas branch ahead of other J.H Group companies.

In addition to J.H, Ahn Junhyuk also has to meet with market researchers sent by Facebook to Asia in Japan, Facebook at the end of last year, through the spontaneous participation of netizens, developed the Japanese version of Facebook, according to the report, the Chinese traditional Chinese version of Taiwan has also been included in the planning team in the next plan, if Facebook can successfully land in the two places, Facebook believes that the task of building an Asian data center is imperative.

The Asia data center was originally the task of Ahn Jun-hyuk, who is also the president of the Asia-Pacific region, but after investigating the network environment in China, considering political factors, Ahn Jun-hyuk believed that South Korea was not suitable at the moment, so he put it on hold for the time being. If Facebook's response is good, the next chosen location for the data center may be in Japan.

Because of the historical legacy and the political environment in Asia, the data center issue cannot be easily decided, especially when Ahn Joon-hyuk, as the CEO of Facebook, is a South Korean.

Regarding this matter, the latest issue of "Daily Economy" also wrote an article to analyze.

An IT industry person said in the article: "...... As Facebook's public president of the Asia-Pacific region, Ahn Jun-hyuk does not seem to think that South Korea is a wise choice...... Facebook's ambitions were evident the moment its global strategy was launched, and Ahn Joon-hyuk once shouted slogans in the media to change the world, with such an ambitious goal, in a historically problematic and sensitive Asia, Ahn Jun-hyuk obviously needs to consider more balancing forces - if he doesn't want to offend the service providers......

The establishment of the data center is related to the information transmission and confidentiality of a region, and ordinary enterprises need the data center mainly for business storage and data warehouse, but because of its particularity, Internet enterprises cannot enter all the business-related information - too big - so the main role is to improve the speed and efficiency of data processing, which involves the confidentiality of the core structure of the enterprise's unique algorithm, and it is impossible to fully host.

……

……

"Well, Facebook is growing faster and faster, and yesterday I was handed a report that said that if this trend continues, by 2009, we will increase to about 30,000 servers...... It's a terrible number, and you can imagine how much of an administrative burden it will put on us, and if we don't want to get completely entangled in it later, we'll need to build our own data center, so hopefully, you'll be able to solve this problem as soon as possible in Japan...... Well, that's the order!"

The car was speeding down the road, looking at the receding streamer outside the window, Ahn Jun-hyuk shrugged his shoulders, faced Zuckerberg's joke on the other end of the phone, and smiled: "I thought Google had provided us with a solution." ”

"Cloud computing? man, I love the concept, but I'm not going to put myself in their hands, you know? I heard that Google is discussing the feasibility of acquiring Facebook, and you know that I won't sell it, and with the way it always operates, if we don't hold Facebook in our hands, we might develop a similar product and become our competitor...... No, not possibly, it will!"

Zuckerberg said it categorically, thinking back to some pictures of the future, Ahn Joon-hyuk didn't know whether to say that he was sensitive or laugh at his current "rampant".

The current Facebook is not even a dwarf in front of Google!

Zuckerberg's so-called "Google is discussing the acquisition", Ahn Jun-hyuk also knew that the original source of the news was a newspaper interview with Google founder Larry Page a few days ago, when the reporter asked him what he thought about Facebook's "News Feed" service claiming to be open to humans and the truth of the Internet, Larry Page said that he appreciated this idea, and if possible, he hoped that Facebook could become a member of Google.

Facebook in the past six months, since the full opening of the explosive growth, has made it a hot topic in the American Internet industry, Larry Page's statement, obviously stimulated the media G-spot, for a time all kinds of rumors appeared in the news and the Internet, among which the "New York Post" is even more sworn that Google and Facebook have reached an acquisition intention, involving cash, stock value of up to $2 billion.

casually teased a few words on the phone, the car gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in a dark alleyway before Ahn Junhyuk hung up the phone.

The alleyway is located behind a nightclub, and the low sound of the sound is loud, and the barrier that penetrates the heavy building rings in his ears, and when Ahn Joon-hyuk gets out of the car, the back door of the nightclub opens, and in the sudden cathartic sound, Ha Ji Won, who is full of alcohol, jumps out and grabs his shoulder.

"Boy, are you finally willing to go to the appointment?"

Ahn Joon-hyuk smiled wryly. (To be continued......)
