Chapter Seventy-Three: Finally
"You ...... Do all these rich people like this?" Isabel, who controlled herself, clenched her fists and took a deep breath for a long time before squeezing out such a sentence between her teeth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you have any grievances?" Michiko held the small teacup, still looking light.
"So, ma'am, do you think I should be grateful? Thank you for giving me the opportunity to prostrate at your son's feet and trade my child for my humble existence?!" Isabel asked sharply, her chest plummeting, her blue eyes almost bursting with fire, so much so that the maid performing the tea ceremony gave Michiko a worried look.
"Are you really upset?" Michiko gestured to the maid with a "don't worry" gesture, "then resist." ”
"Huh?" The style of painting changed so quickly that Isabel didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Since you are dissatisfied, since you feel that you are being treated unfairly, since you feel that you are being oppressed, then rise up and rebel. Michiko's tone was very steady, as if she was talking about where to go for dinner.
"Resist?" Isabel laughed angrily, "You made my parents owe a huge debt, leaving me helpless and desperate, and now you want me to resist?!
"Then find a way!" Michiko suddenly became stern, "Is there really no way out?Or do you not see that path you should take?Did you compromise when it was time to compromise?Did you bow down when you need to lower your body?Did you save yourself?Did you persevere?Did you give up?!"
The more she went to the back, the more stern it became, leaving Isabel speechless.
Michiko's eyes looked at her without blinking, with indescribable sharpness: "In this country, I used to think that women were appendages of men, that women should raise children at home and serve men, that women were not suitable for research, for business, for management, and for all the things they didn't want women to do!"
She gently put the cup in her hand on the table, her chin tilted slightly, and the condescending pride immediately came to her face: "These people, these men, are now all trampled under my feet." They may not be convinced, or they may be planning a counterattack, but none of them dare to despise me to my face. There are many costs to pay, life, love, marriage, family, but when I made up my mind to overturn the oppression that was put on me, I knew that these were inevitable things, and I was willing to bear them!"
"When you are faced with a desperate situation, there is no desperate courage, no calm and unyielding mind, only pain, anger, and unwillingness, how can you win!" Michiko looked Isabel in the eye, "500 years ago, that rural girl from Don Remi gave everything she had to save her country. And today, if someone wants to be free in the face of oppression, but does not even try the slightest resistance, then it is inevitable to crawl on the ground. ”
Then, thinking of something, she chuckled: "Oh, I forgot, according to the information, your father is Algerian, and your mother is German. ”
"You!" Isabel blushed, her lips trembling but unable to speak.
"That's my attitude, Miss Isabel Adjani. Michiko said this, stood up and left, and Shi Shiran left the courtyard.
Isabel sat still, motionless, biting her lip and her face quick. But when Li Xu went over to help her up, she unexpectedly didn't shake him off, nor did she show any disgust.
"Mother, do you have such a pit for your son?" After coming to the study and listening to his mother talk about their conversation, Li Xu's face immediately fell.
"Liangshi, you have to be considerate of your mother," said her mother, leaning back in her high-backed chair and in a lazy tone, "I have rarely seen such a stubborn little girl." ”
So you told her...... Want to resist?" the corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched.
"Oh, it's rare to have a suitable girl for mom to show off once, I can't help it," my mother laughed with one hand on her cheek, "I said a little more unconsciously, some are good teachers." ”
"You didn't just say a little more, you made me very embarrassed by this. Li Xu complained angrily.
"There's no way, whether it's Sayuri Yoshinaga or Momoe Yamaguchi, or your Teresa and those two Miss Lin, they are all Adou who can't be helped, even if I tell them this, they won't react much. The mother shrugged, "My son can't even handle such a little girl." ”
Li Xu rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
"Well, let's not talk about that," the mother smiled, "I suddenly noticed a very interesting thing, Isabel Adjani seems to be 25 years old this year, and the two Miss Lin are also 25 and 27 years old respectively, plus that Teresa, and ......"
"Don't talk about that, Mother. Li Xu immediately covered his forehead.
You're really enough, this is going to be 30 years from now, a capital "dirty" word will never escape, how boring are you to like to play this kind of game?
"Okay, well, let's talk about your appointed housekeeper, she seems to have a talent for cooking. Mother smiled and changed the subject.
"So?" Li Xu pouted.
"Maybe you should find a few more chefs, pastry chefs, and so on that you can give her a hand. Mother said in a seductive tone.
"I'll talk about that later. Li Xu replied insincerely.
"It's not cute. The mother sighed, as if she was a little sad, but immediately changed the subject again, "You say, what if Sony is independent from the Mitsui consortium?"
"Let Sony become independent from Mitsui?" Li Xu was a little puzzled at first, this speed of changing the topic was too fast, right?
But he quickly frowned: "What do you think?" or Akio Morita's idea?"
"I think Akio Morita had this idea. Mother said ambiguously.
"This shouldn't be something I'm thinking about, right, Mother?" asked Li Xu after a few thoughts in his mind.
"Can't you help your mother with a little advice?" asked her mother with a smile.
"Until there is more information to refer to, any staff officer is in the air. Li Xu shook his finger and said.
"What about intuition?" asked the mother with an eyebrow.
"Intuition?" Li Xu sighed, "If I said yes, would you work with Akio Morita to make Sony independent?"
"Of course. "Mother is very sure.
Ye Li Xu blinked in amazement, then reacted, Damn, fell into the sleeve again.
The reason is very simple, it doesn't matter at all whether Sony wants to be independent from the Mitsui Foundation, because Sony's independence is already very high, and it only belongs to the periphery in the Mitsui Foundation.
Speaking of which, Sony is actually quite hard, because it is a company established after World War II, and there is no government backing - companies like Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Panasonic all belonged to military enterprises in World War II, and they all "performed outstandingly" in World War II, so there is no need to worry about bankruptcy with government backing.
This is the same as China's state-owned enterprises and state-owned banks.
However, Sony was established after the war, so naturally it did not have these preferential treatments, and it was not valued by those big conglomerates -- although it was also founded before World War II, it basically produced civilian products, and it could not "perform outstandingly", so after several huge losses after the new century, it fell to the point of being acquired by Foxconn.
As I said before, Japanese people like to talk about seniority the most, and the same is true for Japanese companies.
The large and small enterprises associated with the Mitsui Foundation, which is not a brand before World War II, and Sony, which was established after World War II, why do you sit at the table instead of serving tea and water?
So Sony didn't even enter Mitsui's Nigikai (general manager meeting).
But in this way, Sony is more independent than companies like Toshiba, and it is not difficult to go it alone without the strategy of the Mitsui Foundation.
The second is that it is normal for large Japanese companies to cross-hold each other, and it is a special defense system adopted to avoid being taken over by foreign hostile companies.
With the development of the times and the development of various enterprises, the initial relationship between superiors and subordinates has gradually become flattened. Although the father of the United States let go of the economic dog leash because of the needs of the Cold War, it does not mean that they will be allowed to do whatever they want, otherwise how did the Plaza Agreement come about?
Internal and external pressures work together, and there will definitely be changes, so after the 21st century, Mitsui and Sumitomo, these consortium chaebols, are not so much a consortium chaebol, but rather a fellow townspeople who help each other.
In this case, it doesn't matter at all whether Sony is independent from Mitsui or not, so ......
"It seems that Ryoshi has been paying attention to it. Mother said with a smile.
"Huh. Except for laughing dryly, Li Xu didn't know what expression to make.
Why the hell am I putting up a mother like you, I am tricked by you at every turn, is it so fun to peek into my son's heart?
"What do you want to say?" he asked feebly.
"I just want to care about my son. Mother shrugged, "I remember you seemed to want Akio Morita to develop the console. ”
"I don't have any hope after he refuses. Li Xu said immediately.
"But you're still interested in Sony, aren't you?" said his mother, looking at him with interest.
“…… Yes, after all, I'm still very interested in the semiconductor industry, and when I go back to California, I'm going to go to Wanwan again with Intel and Deyi. Li Xu made this appearance.
"No," the mother shook her head, "I know there must be more than that. ”
"That'...... Do you really want to know?" Li Xu scratched his face.
"If you want to say it, of course I'm willing to listen. Mother smiled.
"I won't tell you. Li Xu made a grimace, and quickly slipped out with his mother's stunned expression.
Wowhaha, it's really rare, it's good to be an adult, I finally have flirted with my mother, it's very happy, yes!
"I have something to talk to you about. Isabel said coldly, turned around and left.
it!
