Chapter 210, see Kazuo Hirai

Uesugi Soyuki and Nana Hashimoto have agreed that after a month, they happened to have something to do to go to Hokkaido, and they could take the opportunity to look for a house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Nana Hashimoto told him that he didn't need to be too good, he just needed to be spacious and comfortable, and Uesugi Soyuki also understood, with Nanami Hashimoto's stubbornness, it wouldn't be very suitable if it was too good.

The property tax on Japanese real estate is very high, too high for their family to afford, and if this money is paid by Uesugi Soyuki himself, it is not appropriate.

Then there is a feeling of raising the whole family alone.

In the evening, Mai Shiraishi played games in the game room at home, while Nana Hashimoto was just sitting in the study and reading a book by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Uesugi Soyuki was sitting at the computer desk, thinking about something.

Tomorrow, on the AKB side, Mayu Watanabe, Yuki Kashiwagi, and Rino Fingerhara, the three of them will go to see Kazuo Hirai under their own leadership, and the three girls of Yuan B are ready.

After meeting Kazuo Hirai, the head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Shuhisa, will return to Kagoshima, where he has been around for too long in order to talk to Sony about entering the medical field.

By the way, he also wants to talk about Kazuo Hirai about his ideas.

Sony needs a reform, and he needs to get more benefits from this reform.

The next day, Uesugi Muneyuki took Mayu Watanabe, Rino Shihara, and Yuki Kashiwagi to the Sony Building in Ginza, Tokyo.

Shaking hands with the three girls one after another, Uesugi Soyuki smiled and said, "Shaking hands this time, I feel like I've earned tens of thousands." ”

"???" Mayu Watanabe's eyes widened, looking not very understanding, and Yuki Kashiwagi of the upper way quickly understood what he meant: "If Uesugi-san is willing to come to our handshake party, he can also experience this feeling, I can do without you shaking the hand." ”

"Yes, yes, it's an honor to shake hands with Mayuyu-san and Yukirin-san. Uesugi said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, what about me!" said Arihara squealing in displeasure, apparently deliberately trying to make a joke.

"Forget it! I don't have anything to say to Ah Zhai. Uesugi Soyuki deliberately made a black pink look, and said in a weird manner: "Don't you know that otaku also hate otaku? ”

"Hahahaha!" all three girls couldn't help laughing.

Several people, accompanied by their agents, came to the Sony building by car.

The Sony Building was opened on April 29, 1966 based on the idea of founder Akio Morita that "a building that can showcase Sony at the entrance to Ginza, Tokyo", and is a building with a glorious history of several decades.

It witnessed the heyday of Sony's rebuke in Japan, how the crazy Japanese people at the peak of the bubble economy spent hundreds of thousands of yen just to get a taxi, and also witnessed how many people fell from high-rise buildings after the bubble economy burst, and also witnessed the decline of Sony's transformation from prosperity to decline, the death of the two founders, Hiroshi Ibuka and Akio Morita, Nobuyuki Idei and Howard Stringer became the owner here, and the gains and losses in various policies.

Last year, a new Sony CEO took over, and he was Kazuo Hirai.

On February 1, 2012, Sony's Board of Directors officially appointed Kazuo Hirai as President and CEO, marking a new page in Sony's history.

Kazuo Hirai's appointment was a reluctant move on the part of Sony, and in the case of several consecutive fiscal years of losses, Sony's actual business situation is not about to collapse, but it is also full of dangers, and in this case, Hirai Kazuo succeeded in turning Sony's game business, which had been losing money for five consecutive years, into a profit in fiscal 2010-2011, so that Sony's board of directors thought that he would be the next suitable leader.

Kazuo Hirai is an executive with no experience as a technical engineer, but first he comes from Sony Electronic Entertainment, the only Sony company that still has industry advantages and technology first-mover advantages, and second, his ability to turn Sony's game business into a profit.

Sony, a large conglomerate... The only part that is still vibrant, energetic, and innovative is electronic entertainment. . . Uesugi thought maliciously.

Sony's background is an electronics company, this part is the most important and core part of Sony, don't look at Sony bancassurance, these things are profitable, and the electronics department continues to lose money, I think it is possible to dismantle this piece.

Impossible, non-existent, if there is no electronics department, then Sony is no longer Sony.

The first reaction of Sony that people think of is that he really became Kangxi's minister Sony.

Kazuo Hirai's thinking is active, he is sober-minded and firm in his convictions at a critical juncture, he summarizes the reasons why Sony has changed from prosperity to decline in the past few decades, and firmly prescribes the right medicine, trying to reverse the decline of this enterprise little by little.

"Knock knock. Uesugi knocked on the door and said to the three girls behind him, "Be polite, be quiet. ”

All three girls nodded cautiously yes.

"Please come in!"

In the president's office of the Sony building, Uesugi Muneyuki took the three girls to meet the head of Sony, Kazuo Hirai.

Kazuo Hirai's hair is half white, his appearance is simple and full of the taste of a mature man, his calm eyes contain tenacity and steadfastness, he is tall and thin, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seems to have magic, which makes people can't help but have the strange thought of "I want to protect this smile".

As soon as he saw Uesugi Soyuki walk in, his eyes lit up, but then he saw the three girls Watanabe Mayu, Kashiwagi Yuki, and Rina Shihara who were standing behind him very carefully, and the light in his eyes slowly faded.

He also thought that Uesugi Muneyuki had changed his mind and planned to work in Sony's technical development department.

After becoming the head of Sony, the young man came to him on his own initiative, and out of appreciation for his great success on social networks, Kazuo Hirai naturally chose to listen carefully and received great benefits from his advice.

"We Sony is not Panasonic, not Hitachi, not Toshiba, in the face of a new market pattern and a new rhythm, Toshiba can go back to make components to do semiconductors and motors, Hitachi can go back to focus on infrastructure construction, go back to become that engineering company, we are Sony, the electronics department is our roots, we have been a consumer electronics company from the beginning, Sir Stringer hopes to make Sony's idea of transforming into a media or IT company did not work in the past, it does not work now, in the future, it will not work, otherwise, how can we lose money like this for several consecutive fiscal years。 ”

The young man's words made Kazuo Hirai think deeply, and he felt that he was simply talking about the deepest thoughts in his heart, which coincided with him, he had always thought so, and he planned to do so after he came to power.

The electronics division is the foundation of Sony's life.

"So, what do you think about the current situation of Sony? Kazuo Hirai remembered that he had resisted the ecstasy in his heart and asked as concisely and clearly as possible.

Uesugi Soyuki succinctly put forward three points: first, "one Sony", and second, the transformation and reform of the electronics sector, focusing on the mobile communications market, abandoning and selling some of the old and completely outdated product lines, restructuring, and austerizing to reduce financial pressure.

Third, we need to strengthen Internet services, chase the latest technologies and trends, and make bold innovations and breakthroughs, rather than gradual improvements.

Kazuo Hirai benefited greatly from Muneyuki Uesugi's words, and at his suggestion, Kazuo Hirai immediately made drastic reforms, and under his almost forced urging and pressure, a group of technicians worked overtime to successfully launch the "Sony Z series" of mobile phones that support the Android platform this year.

After the launch of this mobile phone, the evaluation is average, such as "too expensive" and "average performance" evaluations are endless, and it is considered to be a golden mean, however, the market response is good, and a large number of people know that the price of this mobile phone is high, or they did not hesitate to choose to buy this cost-effective phablet.

Sony's market research response is also very simple, many people said: "I saw Sony's logo, and I support the new mobile phone platform, it doesn't matter if it's expensive." ”

"I'm used to it, since Sony can support the Android system, it's a little more expensive and I will buy it. ”

"It's been a tradition for many years, and all of our home appliances are made of Sony!

Kazuo Hirai immediately realized from the market reaction that this transformation was a success, although to a certain extent, Sony has overdrawn its influence in the private sector, but in the past, Sony's mobile phone products have always been applauded, but now?

Kazuo Hirai, who had a keen sense, immediately realized that Sony's thinking had indeed gone completely wrong somewhere.

He really needed to have a good chat with Uesugi Soyuki again.

He has repeatedly proposed that Uesugi Soyuki be transferred to the board of directors of Sony's headquarters, and he can choose the position of the technology development department or the planning department, but unfortunately Uesugi Soyuki does not do it, such a talented person, but he is obsessed with managing the group of little idols under him, which makes Hirai Kazuo feel speechless.

But geniuses,There will always be some quirks.,Japanese society places a lot of emphasis on the relationship between seniors and subordinates.,The relationship between superiors and subordinates.,But at the same time, it's also very tolerant of so-called geniuses and weirdos.,Uesugi Soyuki has gotten a lot of benefits in this regard.。

The head of Sony just casually sent the three AKB girls away, told them to go to the propaganda department, and then directly said: "Uesugi-kun, please stay." ”

Uesugi Soyuki had already thought of it, he knew that as long as he came over, Kazuo Hirai would definitely not let him go, so he calmly said to Zhihara and the others: "You guys go down, I have something to discuss with Hirai-san." ”

The three girls didn't dare to come out in this environment, especially when they saw that Kazuo Hirai's attitude was not good, the three girls were even more restrained, and the highest-status Fingerhara didn't dare to let go a little, let alone Yuki Kashiwagi and Mayu Watanabe.

Seeing that Kazuo Hirai took the initiative to ask them to go first, the three girls hurriedly followed a clerk downstairs as if they had been pardoned.

"Sit down, Uesugi-kun. Kazuo Hirai motioned for Uesugi Muneyuki to sit down.

Uesugi Soyuki pushed his glasses and smiled like an old fox: "Hirai-san, it seems that the recent situation is good!"

"It's okay, it's finally stabilized. Kazuo Hirai was in a good mood, and he took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator next to him: "Oolong tea?

"Oolong tea. Uesugi took the oolong tea and unscrewed it and drank it without any hesitation.

Kazuo Hirai also unscrewed the remaining bottle of green tea.

After each took a sip of their drinks, a flash of light flashed in Hirai Kazuo's deep eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Uesugi-kun, what you said, the first step of the plan, has been successful. ”

"It's time to start the second step of the program. ”
