Shimazu family, between cranes.

This is a very spacious large wide room, and even after just coming in, there will be a feeling that there is no end in sight, and the big wide room is ** enshrined in the armor and knives handed down by the ancestors of the Shimazu family, on the left is the portrait of the god of wind, on the right is the god of thunder, and the head of the Shimazu family is standing in the middle, looking at the young man who walked in with a smile.

This old gentleman is over seventy years old this year, but he looks very energetic, his hair has been gray, but it is very thick, his face has always been smiling, his expression is kind, his face is wrinkled, his cheeks are thin and his cheeks are not sagging because of sagging, obviously he has not exercised less, with his warm expression and close face, people are naturally like a spring breeze, and it is easy to have a good impression of this old man.

"Hello, Mr. Shimazu. ”

"Uesugi-kun, meet again!" The old man stretched out his hand and motioned for Zong Xue to sit down, and then took out the teapot from behind him: "I said early on that I could come to Kyushu to have a look, but it turned out that you really came, which really makes us happy! ”

The old man poured two cups of green tea, then sat cross-legged and put the tea bowl in his hand: "I heard that you like to drink green tea, and you also like to drink Fukuoka Yame, I have the best here, try it!"

Uesugi Soyuki lowered his head and took the teacup, carefully held it, put his left hand on the bottom of the teacup, held the teacup with his right hand, took a sip slowly, and then put the teacup down, smiling and bowing his head: "Walking through different places, you can see different scenery, come out and see, it is good for the future." ”

"Yes, Kyushu is such a good place, our ancestors have lived here for generations, Kagoshima's fresh air, beautiful scenery, blue sky, we Shimazu, love this place deeply, every time I sit here, I can feel that my ancestors are by my side, just with me, I am over seventy years old this year, but I still want to live a few more years, and enjoy this hard-won peace more!" Shimazu Shuhisa sighed very much, he looked at Uesugi Soyuki who was smiling on his forehead, and said with a smile: " Uesugi-kun, your grandfather is okay!"

"Grandpa's health has always been good. Uesugi Muneyuki bowed his head respectfully and thought: The Shimazu family has been a long-lived person for generations, and it seems that this old gentleman is no exception.

After speaking, he looked down at the teacup in his hand, and realized that this teacup was made of a whole piece of jade and jade hollowed out from the middle.

"That's good, Uesugi-kun, you're also an excellent young man~" The old man was very happy: "Among our young generation of Chinese, you should be regarded as the best, I am very optimistic about you, you know?"

"I know that Mr. Shimazu did not see me in Matsuma, nor in Takema or Umumami, but in Ohiroma-Tsurumuma, and it was a great honor for the boy. Uesugi Soyuki nodded: "If Mr. Shimazu doesn't have more distinguished guests to visit today, then it is really a unique honor to open a crane room for me, and I thank you in advance." ”

"Hahaha! What a sensible young man! Yes, it stands to reason that I will only open this room if other heads of families above the earl level, or people from chaebols and group companies come here, Uesugi-kun, but I know very well!" Shimazu Shuhisa's eyes glowed with admiration.

"Actually, Uesugi-kun shouldn't look down on himself, although you are very young, but your level is barely qualified, I make an exception for you, there is no problem!hahaha!" Shimazu Shuhisa laughed, he had seen many young people, some polite, some restrained, some forced to be calm, in fact, panicked, like Uesugi Soyuki, who advanced and retreated well-founded, behaved freely but never rude, it is really rare.

You really have two good grandsons, and this little grandson of yours is even better than your eldest grandson.

An old man and a young habitually polite, although Shimazu Shuhisa is not in Tokyo, but he knows the situation in Tokyo well, and it seems that there are people from their Shimazu family in Tokyo.

After chatting for a while, Shimazu Shuhisa suddenly asked a topic of interest: "Sony's financial report this year, I heard that you are also involved, can you tell me here, is this year's Sony really as Hirai Kazuo said, has it improved? Billions of dollars in profits?"

"If you just look at the net income ... Indeed... Uesugi Soyuki smiled bitterly: "After all, Hirai-san even sold the buildings in Manhattan and the Tokyo headquarters, and the income from selling these two buildings alone is hundreds of billions (yen)." ”

"Kazuo Hirai has just taken office, and it is time to let go of his hands and feet, and Sony's current financial situation will definitely not be able to come up with so much money. Shimazu Shujiu said with a smile: "Without capital, no matter how capable people are, they can't do anything, Hirai-san, this is good, when it is broken, it is broken, rather than supporting the flower shelf, it is better to change to the capital." ”

Uesugi Soyuki nodded secretly in his heart, many people within Sony, especially those old people, are extremely opposed to Hirai Kazuo's behavior, thinking that this behavior has lost Sony's past glory and is an extremely humiliating behavior, and Hirai Kazuo is making Sony no longer able to raise his head in front of other companies.

Don't be funny, people who are really sober know that what Sony needs most now is liquidity, especially the development of Hirai Kazuo's PS series of game consoles, which requires an astonishing amount of money to complete, in terms of Sony's current business situation, the two magnificent buildings are not only not a symbol of glory, but a kind of irony and burden.

This is very similar to the style of the Shimazu family, the Shimazu family also borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and the deficit was amazing, and then the head of the family called all the creditors together, and then took out all the IOUs, burned them, and then said strongly, we are not not paying your debts, but this rule must be changed.

The family shamelessly changed the repayment period to two hundred and thirty years, and then did not cheat, so they directly re-signed the loan agreement with all the creditors, and then raised their knives and asked the creditors: "So, the family is now planning to repay your money, and there is a big business action recently, I hope you will support it." ”

In the end, relying on the helpless support of the creditors and the strong ability of the Shimazu clan, they quickly repaid the money.

From this example, it can be seen that Shimazu is a typical pragmatist, and as such, they appreciate and approve of Hirai Kazuo's actions.

"Of course Uesugi-kun knows what I'm talking about. Shuhisa Shimazu picked up the teacup again, with a smile on his face.

“。。。 Okay, it's no secret anyway. Uesugi thought for a moment and said, "Excluding the income from the sale of the building, Sony's net profit for this fiscal year was 43 billion yen." ”

“。。。。。。 Kazuo Hirai really has this level?" Shimazu Shujiu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "He succeeded in reforming the electronics department?"

"The truth is, it didn't work out. Uesugi Soyuki smiled faintly, her head swaying slightly: "This year's profit is due to the big sales of Sony's Columbia films, and Hirai-san listened to my advice to reduce and abandon part of the TV and audio department. ”

"The PS series of consoles is about to usher in its final glory, Mr. Shimazu, you have also seen that now PC computer technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, maybe in a few years, we will not need game consoles. ”

A few days ago, we also had a meeting to say that Sony might have a revival and hopeful, so we should go up and get involved. The old man sighed and said, "Listen to what Uesugi-kun said, we have to take another look." ”

Recently, Sony has expressed its desire to cooperate with the Shimadzu family to enter the medical field.

"Yes, don't rush it, there are too many internal ills in Sony, and they can't be corrected overnight. Uesugi Soyuki nodded: "Didn't Idei (Nobuyuki Idei) create the most profitable year in Sony's history as soon as he took office?"

"Do you think Kazuo Hirai will be the next Nobuyuki Idei?" The old man's voice was full and full of momentum, he was asking his questions, and the momentum on the old man's body was like a raging wind, radiating from him as the center, and the originally spacious Ohiroma instantly became airtight.

Uesugi Soyuki didn't seem to be affected by the momentum of the old man: "He shouldn't be the next Nobuyuki Idei, but I'm not optimistic that he can change the status quo in just one or two years, the reason is very simple, Mr. Shimazu, the pony, can't pull the cart." ”

He was only halfway there.

"Is that so?" Shimazu Shuhisa's long gray eyebrows kept shaking: "I know, then, Uesugi-kun, you came to Kyushu this time, is there something going on?"

"Or are you finally thinking clearly, and you plan to marry our Shimazu? Xianzhi and Xiaokui are both beautiful girls, and they have been educated by our orthodox samurai since childhood, and they will definitely not disappoint you Uesugi clan, hahaha. The old man regained his hearty smile.

"No, no, no~~ I came to visit this time, mainly to discuss with you about the girl idol group produced by Sony Music that I am bringing recently. Uesugi Muneyuki whispered what she meant.

"Female idols? Recently, this thing is really a money-making thing, and we all know about AKB here in Kyushu. Shimazu Shuhisa continued: "The family has never been interested in that kind of thing, but since the team in charge of Uesugi-kun has come to Kyushu, we can't ignore it, so I will ask the Shimazu company to arrange an endorsement for you, so that you will not be embarrassed by the locals in Kyushu." ”

"Mr. Shimazu, the idol industry is the most profitable industry in recent years, the Shimazu family, are you really not planning to get involved?"

"We know that idols have made a lot of money in recent years, but for us, idols are all done in Tokyo, and our roots are in Kyushu, how can we have the ability to participate in Tokyo?"

"Don't you know Mr. Shimazu? AKB48's branch, HKT48, was established in Hakata City, Kyushu last year!"

"Oh, I want to hear it!" the old man put down his teacup, the Shimazu family are all pragmatists, and there is no reason not to be tempted by the profits in front of them, especially in a place like Kyushu.

Uesugi Soyuki's eyes flashed.

Introducing Shimadzu to the 48 family was the first step in his whole game.
