Chapter 428: Shocking Changes Around the World
The release of the results suddenly made Kenji Kitano sit down in his seat with a dead face.
He knew in his heart that what he had lost was not only the authority of the president of the world, but also the trust of his backers...
This determines his future fate, either being kicked out of the globe or being relegated to the bottom, never to climb up again.
This is not the result he wants, and it is certainly not the result that the person behind him, wants...
At this time, Kenji Kitano finally figured out why his predecessor, Ichiro Yamazaki, would always let Sakamoto Kiyoshi go and not do something to stop his growth.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a terrifying existence that even if the entire world goes all out, it can't be provoked!
How can a person who swept the music scene as soon as he released an album and had no one to compete with him? !
Unless you really go to find someone to kill him, it's possible to stop him...
Kenji Kitano couldn't help but regret deeply, regretting why he wanted to set Sakamoto Kiyoshi as the target of suppression, regretting that he let his subordinates contact Wenchun and making small moves behind his back, regretting that he knew the relationship between Fukuyama Masaharu and Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and still refused the cooperation between the two...
However, if you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

After glancing at Kenji Kitano, whose face was like ashes, Kazumasa Fujikura spoke again.
"Now that Kitano has come down, who will take over the position of president?"
As the leader of the neutral faction, the words of Kazumasa Fujikura are quite weighty, so that the people of the two major factions of the president and the director are shocked and cheered up.
Kenji Kitano's resignation is just the beginning, and the next step is the highlight!
Two factions are vying for the position of president of Universal!
Impeaching Kenji Kitano and stepping down Kenji Kitano is certainly not Ichiro Yamazaki's ultimate goal.
His goal is clear, and that is to regain the position of president and regain control of the world!
For this, he did not hesitate to pay a great price and secretly made deals with the directors of some neutral factions.
Especially the support of that person, he firmly believes that the final winner of this battle will inevitably be him!
However, the first thing to attack was the board of directors who had already lost their lead in the Kenji Kitano incident.
"I think this position belongs to the director of Hexi!"
Although the directors hated Kenji Kitano's inaction, which caused them to lose the opportunity to control affairs, they still couldn't just watch the menacing Ichiro Yamazaki re-ascend to the throne of president.
Therefore, under the eye signal of the director of Hexi, a middle-aged bald director with a big belly said loudly, because he was too excited, causing his face to be red and red.
"During his tenure as the president of the company's subsidiaries, Director Hexi has achieved profit growth for four consecutive years, which shows that Director Hexi is very worthy of our trust in terms of management ability!"
The younger brother's praise made the director of Hexi very happy, and nodded frequently in his heart.
"Well done. β
However, obviously, the effect of this wave of unnutritious blowing is just to make Fujikura Kazumasa's eyebrows, wrinkled, and Yamazaki Ichiro's sneer...
It has no effect on the fact that the directors retain the position of president.
You must know that after experiencing Kenji Kitano's mistakes, the board of directors is naturally at a disadvantage in the competition for the president.
At this time, it is extremely unrealistic to hold the idea that the position of president cannot be left behind.
However, the strong desire for power makes people get carried away and lose their minds, and no one in the board department thinks of it, which is simply an unrealistic idea.
"Then I would like to continue to be the president of the subsidiary!"
No, Yamazaki Ichiro's words choked the middle-aged director with nothing to say.
Ichiro Yamazaki didn't give the directors time to think, and directly signaled to one of his henchmen directors to make a challenge.
"As a recommender of Kenji Kitano, Director Kawanishi should be partially responsible for this mistake. A middle-aged director, who looked extremely capable, spoke.
"As for the new president, I think it must be someone who is familiar with Universal Music affairs and has rich management experience, so I recommend Director Yamazaki to take up the position of President of Universal Music again!"
Show oneβs true colors in the end!
Although it had been expected for a long time, the words of the middle-aged director still made the expressions of the directors of the director department suddenly gloomy.
Especially the director of Hexi, from the hand holding the cup, the obvious green tendons, you can know that the leader of the board of directors is angry and uneasy in his heart...
Before waiting for the opposition of the board of directors, the directors under Ichiro Yamazaki and the neutral directors who had been bought off all spoke out in support.
"Makes sense!"
"I agree with Director Sato's proposal!"
"Seconded. β
γγγ
Throughout the conference room, more than half of the directors expressed their support for Ichiro Yamazaki to take up the position of president again.
Such a scene makes a small number of directors and directors like an island that has lost the power to resist, isolated and helpless.
"I also think that if Director Yamazaki can take up the role of president of Universal again, he will definitely regroup and clean up the mess left by his predecessor... β
At this time, one person's statement directly made the directors lose the last hope.
"Fujikura... San?!"
Director Kazumasa Fujikura looked at Kazumasa Fujikura with a look of surprise, I don't know why, this old director, who has always adhered to neutrality, suddenly joined the factional battle, and also stood on Ichiro Yamazaki's side!
That's right, Ichiro Yamazaki has already attracted Fujikura Kazumasa, the big brother of the neutral faction, so he is so confident.
"I just think, Director Yamazaki, is more suitable for this position... β
A meaningful sentence made the directors of Hexi and their henchmen silent.
"I see... I see... The director leaned weakly on the back of his chair and muttered to himself.
Only now did he know that he had lost before Ichiro Yamazaki convened this meeting urgently.
"Then, next, we will vote for the new position of President of Universal, and if you support Director Yamazaki, please raise your hand... β
"If you support the directors of Kasai, please raise your hand... β
Ichiro Yamazaki, who received a majority of votes from the neutral faction, unsurprisingly won the overwhelming majority of the votes over the directors of Kawasai.
Under the angry and uneasy eyes of the directors of the board of directors, Kazumasa Fujikura announced again.
"Then, I announce that the new president of Universal Music will be Ichiro Yamazaki as the !!"
γγγγγγ
The next day, Universal Music's official website published a statement about the change of president.
This has undoubtedly caused a huge wave!
Although Universal Music's Japan division is not as strong as Universal Music in Europe and the United States, with world superstars such as Eminem, Black Eyed Peas, and Mariah Carey, Universal Music, which is known as one of the world's four major record labels, is still one of the top record companies in Japan.
The market share is second only to Ai Hui and Sony, and even more than Warner Records, which focuses on the Chinese-speaking market.
One can imagine how huge the impact of the change in the president of such a large record company is.
Especially for the music industry, the major personnel changes in Universal have not revealed any rumors in advance, so suddenly, it must be something important within Universal.
This assumption suddenly made many paparazzi who relied on news to eat, like smelling fragrant bones, launched various offensives against the relevant insiders of Universal Music!
Including "Weekly Wenchun", "Friday", "Weekly Modern" and other famous gossip magazines, they have sent their best paparazzi to search for the inside story behind this matter.
And the paparazzi with magical powers also lived up to expectations, and in just two days, they disclosed the before and after of the event of the change of president of the world!
And the entertainment world, which learned what happened, was rarely collectively silent.
Judging from the inside information obtained by major brokerage firms and record companies, there is a very familiar name behind this incident.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto!
According to people familiar with the matter, the cause of this major personnel change within the world is because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Ichiro Yamazaki, the former president of Universal Co., Ltd., is back strong after a year of silence!
Using Kenji Kitano's inaction during his tenure and the many "incriminating evidence" that forced Masaharu Fukuyama away, Ichiro Yamazaki successfully defeated Kenji Kitano and once again became the president of Universal Music!
And Kenji Kitano,Became the shortest-lived president in the history of Universal Music.,Just one year in office...
The reason why Kenji Kitano stepped down and became a laughing stock was because of his inaction during his tenure, which led to a sharp decline in Universal Records' profits and the loss of a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, all this, to a large extent, is due to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
During Kenji Kitano's tenure, his singer did not win a single head-to-head duel with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and while record sales were suppressed by Sony, he also lost the market share he originally held.
The most important point is that it also forced Masaharu Fukuyama to switch to Sony Music, which led to the loss of important talents of Universal Music, and the long-term loss is simply immeasurable...
It is precisely because of this that Kenji Kitano was easily ousted from power by Ichiro Yamazaki, who was in trouble.
In this way, there are good people who have discovered a startling fact.
Ichiro Yamazaki, the new president of Universal Music, is also the president of Universal Music, and the important factor that led to his resignation was the same Kiyoshi Sakamoto who led to the resignation of Kenji Kitano!
In other words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto single-handedly led to the resignation of the two presidents of Universal Music?!
This incident happened, so that Sakamoto Kiyoshi initially revealed his huge influence.
A terrible influence that shakes everything!
