Chapter 454: T.G.D. Company?
(I'm sorry, I have a lot of work today, and I'm still working overtime in the unit, so I quickly checked the information and outline when I was alone, but I always felt that there was something wrong...... )
A hangar at Vislore Airport.
In the middle of the hangar is a special equipment for the maintenance of the wing of the aircraft, and next to the equipment are rows of chairs and a whiteboard, and in front of the whiteboard is a long table with ropes, climbing hooks, and other strange things that cannot be named.
The members of Girls' Generation and the film crew sat on chairs, listening intently to what Phoebe was talking about in front of the whiteboard, and Phoebe, who was explaining to everyone, would pick up a certain piece of equipment on the long table from time to time and compare it, and even put it on her body to show everyone.
In addition to this wave of people in the hangar, there are also a few people standing sporadically at the door of the hangar in a few key positions, they are Titan's bodyguards, and there should be no need to be vigilant.
Five Titan-calitan security cars and two Ford boxcars were parked at the door of the hangar. The door of a Ford box car closest to the hangar door was open, and Barbara sat in the car with a laptop in her lap, and the computer screen was showing the information of an Asian woman named Mika Komatsu.
Barbara, who had been looking at the information just now, suddenly smiled involuntarily, the reason is very simple, Komatsu Mika's information says that she graduated from a Japanese women's university, but Komatsu's certification photo is really a little too unusual.
"I guess it's called Harajuku style?......" Barbara muttered to herself, somewhat uncertain, before she complained in a low voice, "There are also such people, what the hell do the Japanese want to do?" ”
Barbara muttered, looked at the information for a while, and then looked up at Phoebe, seeing that Phoebe was still introducing something to Girls' Generation, and there was no end to it for a while, so she shook her head slightly.
Barbara understands that if she wants to clarify the intentions of the Japanese, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it, after all, even many large companies in the United States have entered Japan through the prosperity of the Internet, and if there is no Internet, I am afraid that the Japanese will play with themselves behind closed doors...... Thinking of this, Barbara remembered that the night before, she asked Phoebe why she chose Osaka as Titan's foothold in Japan, instead of ~dǐng~diǎn~小~ said, .▲.※os_(); Those words of Phoebe in Tokyo.
According to Phoebe's explanation, this choice is based on some historical reasons:
European and American companies are not as ignorant of the Japanese market as they were 30 or 40 years ago, and overcoming national sentiment in order to sell their products to Japanese people is indeed one of the factors, but many more factors are ignored as everyone is trying to promote the former.
As we all know, there is a giant advertising group in Japan, Dentsu Group. Dentsu not only controls the advertising market in Japan, but also has an absolute say in television, radio, the Internet, newspapers and other forms of media.
The magic weapon for dentsu to gain such a say is to buy out half a year or even a year's advertising time in the media industry at one time, and then sell the advertising time to advertisers after cutting or combining it, which makes manufacturers who are accustomed to European and American advertising models extremely uncomfortable with the Japanese advertising process at the beginning.
In addition, some people intentionally or unintentionally create obstacles to European and American companies, which makes it difficult for European and American companies to advertise in Japan, or the advertisements they make are not suitable for the Japanese market, ruining the impression of potential consumers on their products.
If we look at it from a perspective that is not emotional or human, we can see that Dentsu Group has made a huge contribution to Japan's defense against foreign products, which is why most Japanese advertisers only recognize Dentsu Group and not other advertising companies - special cases are occasional and do not need to be considered.
So how did Dentsu gain the trust of advertisers in the first place?
After the Black Ship Incident, Japan quickly drove away, and a part of the merchant class and enlightened aristocrats, led by the merchant class, took the initiative to go abroad and learned a lot of advanced science and technology in Europe and the United States. After years of nationalist edification, Japan finally verified the correctness of the most popular imperialist ideology of governance in the game with the big countries around it, which made the Japanese elite pay more and more attention to the development of advanced science and technology in Europe and the United States.
Japan's sensitivity to science and technology after its founding was astonishing, and after the United States established its first radio station in 1906 and had music and jokes play on the surrounding radios, Japan followed suit the following year and began manufacturing and selling radios, while Europe did not have its first radio station until 1908.
At the same time, it was not enough to build a radio station in Japan, and a company called "Nippon Advertising", which was founded in 1901, merged with the predecessor of Radio Tokyo, which owned the radio station, in order to promote the products of the national industry with more advanced means of information dissemination, and this is the prototype of today's Dentsu Group.
Among them, Nippon Advertising was formed by the merger of the advertising department of the leading Japanese business company at the time or the advertising company that specialized in serving it, so it was natural for this company to block foreign products for Japanese companies.
After the merger, Dentsu quickly seized the Japanese advertising market because of its monopoly on broadcasting, and through this dentsu penetrated into the market where language and sound are its products, so that many people were unintentionally accused by it, and these people were artists, singers, and politicians.
Taisho succeeded to the throne after Meiji's death, and Hirohito, who was the crown prince during his reign, was very dishonest, either riding a horse to watch the army shoot guns and guns, or to provoke young officers in the navy who also wanted to shoot guns but couldn't catch them because the commander was too strict.
Finally, in 1936, there were 226 mutinies in Japan, and although the mutiny failed, it was equivalent to Hirohito getting a pair of chairs, and he no longer had to lie on the ground to watch his father Taisho imitate rakugo. And this mutiny made the elite businessmen smell the smell of danger, how could the businessmen watch those guys who shoot cannons every day and only have gunpowder scum in their brains to control the country's politics?
At the same time, the guys who only have gunpowder scum in their minds are at least willing to see the new technology of Europe and the United States, for example, in 1917, Russia's national propaganda, Tongguò propaganda even established a new Russia in this year, so after seeing the important role of propaganda for national cohesion, the gunpowder scum did not want businessmen to control the radio station that could be used as a propaganda mouthpiece.
In 1936, the year of the 226 Mutiny, Dentsu was divided into Tokyo Radio and Dentsu, which was mainly engaged in advertising.
Time has proved that the vision of elite businessmen is indeed reliable, and after World War II, Radio Tokyo was taken over by the US military, after which the US military began to break up and suppress the Japanese zaibatsu, that is, the banking and industrial groups. But because Dentsu is hidden deep enough, and because the market is withering, the US military has not dug it out for a while. It was under such circumstances that the Lee-Kim War broke out on the Korean Peninsula, which made the US policy have to shift from suppressing Japan to helping Xiao Li beat Xiaojin, and in order to help Xiao Li, the United States had to let Japan help take care of logistics, which can be regarded as atonement, so the suppression of the chaebol was completely gone, and Dentsu gradually grew stronger with the recovery of the chaebol power.
It is precisely because of dentsu Group's keen sense of information transmission technology that dentsu Group participated in the subsequent emergence of Japanese television and the Internet, which made dentsu further enhance its influence, and finally developed into a program that can decide whether to stay in the entertainment industry.
After seeing this diǎn clearly, Phoebe naturally did not simply cooperate with a "small role" like Yoshimoto Kogyoto, she understood that the channel of Guò Langley Company could not be openly contacted by Dentsu, so at first Phoebe just asked people to go to Yoshimoto to discuss cooperation, and then buy land in Osaka, in order to spread the news of the application of the lost system to outdoor and station advertising to Dentsu Group.
Now, as Phoebe thought, Dentsu Group took the initiative to bite the hook, and the other party even took into account Phoebe's gender and age, and urgently sent two negotiators. In keeping with dentsu's tradition of working with others, the negotiator sent will be the person in charge of the partner company in the future.
Barbara knew that Phoebe couldn't remember faces, so after showing Phoebe the information, she would do the work of researching her opponent specifically, and she couldn't figure out what this young woman named Komatsu was qualified to negotiate on behalf of Dentsu.
Thinking of this, Barbara glanced at the information of another Japanese negotiator, Mie Tsukyo, forty-six years old, but she looked very well maintained, as if she was only in her early thirties, and her education was related to Phoebe Neng, and her master's degree was obtained at Berklee College of Music.
Barbara looked at the information of the two of them carefully, and still couldn't understand why Dentsu wanted to negotiate with these two people, one of them was too peculiar, and the other had no economic education at all, and they didn't look like they could handle complex contract documents.
Therefore, Barbara couldn't help but glance at Phoebe again, she didn't notice that she had been by Phoebe's side for a long time, and she had become more and more accustomed to relying on Phoebe. Phoebe naturally noticed Barbara's confusion over there, but this time she could roughly guess what Barbara wanted to ask.
Again, Phoebe is reluctant to speculate, she can only wait for things to happen, as for what Barbara thinks, well, it's so troublesome, since there is more Barbara's benchmark diǎn, many issues are more troublesome to consider than when there was only Sister Sun alone......
And Barbara didn't notice that she had actually attracted Phoebe's attention, and she suddenly remembered one thing, Phoebe's previous plan to go to Japan for the negotiation team mentioned a new company, and Phoebe said that it was a specialized firm, and the name was ...... Phoebe seems to be going to call it, isn't it an acronym for Titan, Universal, and Dentsu......
