Zhang Fan flew to Tokyo after spending a few days in the United States. I went to Tokyo this time because someone invited me. And the person who invited him was a senior executive of Sony.

Sony Corporation, a world-renowned super-large group of companies. In the seventies and eighties, it once led the trend of scientific and technological progress in the world. It has a huge reputation all over the world and is an iconic company in Japan.

Although Sony's reputation is very large, its strength is also very strong. But Zhang Fan was not afraid. Because Zhang Fan knows very well that Sony has been in decline since the Plaza Agreement, and the assets inside have actually been almost transferred. Now Sony is more of an empty shell. It is not impossible to declare bankruptcy one day.

Although it is not clear what Sony invited him to do this time, Zhang Fan didn't care at all. It's like a tour.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome to Sony. Zhang Fan was greeted at the airport by a vice president of Sony, whose name is Takeshi Kurita. In his fifties, he seems to be in good spirits.

Zhang Fan looked around at the Narita International Airport and asked suspiciously, "This is Tokyo, right? Sony is already able to represent the city?"

"Hahaha~~~" Kurita Yi's face froze, and then he laughed, "Mr. Zhang said and laughed. ”

Glancing at the arrogant so-called vice president, Zhang Fan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Sony is old, and Sony, which once led the world's technological trend, has now become a real old man's government. From the inside out, from top to bottom, there is a kind of twilight. A kind of twilight that is incompatible with this era of the big bang of technology.

Sony is now just a company that is eating its old capital, when the management and ordinary employees are all old people. The company has no motivation to grow. No matter how strong the strength is, he can only watch himself decline day by day. Until the day of declaring bankruptcy comes.

After the group arrived at Sony's headquarters, Zhang Fan met Sony's main management personnel in the luxurious living room.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome to Sony. Sony's current president, Hiroo Hirai, stretched out his hand to Zhang Fan.

"Hello. Looking at Hiroo Hirai, who was over seventy years old but still held the position of president, Zhang Fan shook hands with him calmly.

After the group sat down separately, Hiroo Hirai told Zhang Fan the reason for inviting him over this time.

"Mr. Zhang. Hiroo Hirai looked at Zhang Fan with a calm face, "Sony hopes to enter into in-depth cooperation with Mr. Zhang." ”

"In-depth cooperation?" Zhang Fan took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at him with an unchanged face, "What does it mean exactly?"

Hiroo Hirai glanced at the people around him and continued, "Sony Columbia wants to cooperate with Disney to make superhero movies together. ”

Among the vast Sony Group, the entire assets of Sony Columbia Pictures are not outstanding. However, the significance of its representation is very important. In the modern business world, media groups are extremely important to any large company.

In a world where fame is everything, the role of media groups cannot be ignored. Sony is naturally no exception.

During this time, Sony Columbia had a hard time. None of the films that were made made made much better. The effect that can be achieved is naturally lower and lower. After some analysis and deliberation, Sony headquarters decided to increase investment in Sony Colombia. And if you want to turn over Sony Columbia, which has been suppressed recently, the best way is naturally to get the opportunity to cooperate from Zhang Fan.

Hollywood has now developed a very bizarre landscape. Originally, the seven major film companies competed for glory, and other film companies survived in the cracks. Although the pattern is difficult to break, at least most people have a bite to eat. The difference in strength between everyone is not very large.

However, with Zhang Fan's strong rise. Especially after he won and integrated the Disney Company, this pattern that lasted for many years has been broken by Zhang Fansheng.

Now Hollywood has become Zhang Fan's world. All the best-selling movies are produced and distributed by Zhang Fan's company, regardless of the genre, whether it is animated or live-action. All the big fire movies are Zhang Fan's.

The result of being a single branch is naturally to suppress the development and income of others. The film market is so big, and the audience invests a lot of money in movies every year. Most of them go to watch Disney movies, so the income of other companies is naturally affected.

Many film companies have complained that Zhang Fan eats alone and does not leave a way for others to live. If it weren't for the fact that Disney is too big now, countless people would have pounced on Zhang Fan and Disney to bite together.

This is also one of the important reasons why Zhang Fan tried his best to get Disney, a super-large platform. Without such a huge platform as a backing support, even if he has the brilliance of a golden finger, he will be eaten up completely!

The counterattack of the entire industry is terrible, and without the support of a platform like Disney, Zhang Fan would not be able to resist no matter what.

"Shoot a superhero movie together?" Zhang Fan laughed with the corners of his mouth hooked. The words sound good, but in fact, they just want to get the filming rights of the hottest superheroes from their own hands. Now everyone in the industry knows that superhero movies are a huge gold mine, and anyone who goes in can dig a big piece of gold out. It's just that this gold mine is now in Zhang Fan's hands, and others have no chance to enter it.

"Why should I make a superhero movie with Sony?" asked Zhang Fan as he leaned back in his chair and looked calm.

Hiroo Hirai laughed and responded to Zhang Fan in a confident tone, "Because Mr. Zhang can get Sony's friendship." ”

"Sony's friendship?" Zhang Fan frowned slightly, then raised his chin and laughed, "Mr. Hirai, are you still alive in the last century?"

"If it was Sony in the last century, friendship or something would be of some use. Zhang Fan didn't care about the rapidly changing looks of the group of Japanese opposite, "But now, I don't need it at all." ”

Zhang Fan spit out the smoke ring and shook his head indifferently, "If you came to me just for this, then I'm sorry." I don't think there's any need to continue the talks. I'm not Japanese!"

The faces of Hiroo Hirai and the others became very ugly. Sony's reputation has been admired for many years, when has it been ignored by Zhang Fan like this?

However, just like Zhang Fan said. He's not Japanese, and there's no way Sony can do anything about him. In the face of such a super-rich man who has great influence all over the world. What can Sony do? Any form of coercion and coercion has no effect on Zhang Fan. Whether it is official or private means, it is useless for a super-rich man of Zhang Fan's level.

Hiroo Hirai and these people are the purest businessmen. Anything can be negotiated for profit. Since there is no way to coerce Zhang Fan, it can only be a lure. At the heart of the businessman's philosophy is profit, not vindictiveness.

Hiroo Hirai, who quickly adjusted his condition, immediately smiled, "Mr. Zhang, please don't be angry. Anything is negotiable. It doesn't matter if we can't reach an agreement today, we at Sony will never treat our partners badly. We will continue to discuss tomorrow, and we will definitely satisfy Mr. Zhang. ”

If the coercion fails, it can only be a lure, and Sony's name did not scare Zhang Fan, so he had to give real benefits.

And Zhang Fan didn't really want to agree at all. On the contrary, he is interested in working with Sony.

It's not that Zhang Fan wants to share the benefits in his hands, or that he is scared by Sony's name. The most important reason is that he knows that Sony will fall into huge losses before long.

Because of the strong suppression by emerging technology companies, Sony's core electronics business collapsed all the way, resulting in massive losses. There have even been rumors that he is going to go bankrupt many times.

In fact, others don't know, but Zhang Fan knows it very well. Sony though in trouble. But it has the support of the powerful Mitsui chaebol, and Sakura Sakura provides funding. It is even a huge group system with world-class companies such as Toshiba, Toyota, and Sanyo. It is one of the most important heavyweight companies in the world.

In this case, even Sony can't operate at a loss. Nor will it really be bankrupt. Because there will be countless people and wealth to prevent this from happening.

Now Sony has found Zhang Fan and asked to share the superhero movie, not because of the little money from the movie income. For Sony, which is huge, the little money made from the movie can't get into their eyes. They want fame, to use fame to save shaky performance and maintain the stock price. It is convenient for some people to transfer assets.

Zhang Fan won't be involved in these things, and he can't be involved either. But he knew Sony would soon be in great turmoil. If he cooperates with Sony now, he will have a chance to profit from it when Sony is in turmoil.

Zhang Fan can't get his hands on really valuable things, but Sony is a big super group after all. There are still a lot of good things.

Sony controls one-third of the world's music publishing market, one of the three giants of the world's video game scene, and has extensive power in Hollywood. And these are all good things that Zhang Fan has a good eye on. During Sony's turbulent period, Zhang Fan will have the opportunity to cut flesh on his body.

Whether it's the music market, the game market, or the film market. Zhang Fan was very interested.

In this era of entertainment for all and consumption for all. Music game movies are very, very profitable and very easy to get famous. There are famous and favorable things, Zhang Fan naturally will not miss it.

Of course, Zhang Fan himself will definitely not show it. Now that Sony has taken the initiative to come to the door, he is secretly happy in his heart but wants to take Joe, so as to occupy a more important position in the subsequent negotiations.

Now that Sony has made it clear that there is a benefit in front of Zhang Fan, if he doesn't take it, then wouldn't he be a fool?
