Chapter 0040 - You Can Collapse When You Play Chess
At the welcome banquet, Tang Huan ate Japanese food skillfully, and he could chat a few words about historical allusions and customs, all of which fully showed that he was an authentic Japanese expert.
It can be said that the routine banquet arranged by Hattori Rejiro and Yasukawa Hideaki to entertain guests became Tang Huan's show.
Taking this opportunity, he mingled with Epson's middle and senior management, and these people had a feeling that in order to expand the attractive market for printers in the United States, it was really a good choice to work with such a partner with smooth communication and no cultural barriers.
Because he drank a lot of Japanese sake, Tang Huan looked ruddy, looking forward to it, heroic and charismatic, and many Japanese people showed appreciation in their eyes.
After the banquet, the meeting place was moved to the office, and the hostesses served tea.
Hattori Reijiro considered his words and slowly spoke, "Mr. Tang, should the terms of agency sales of Epson printers in the United States be revised, after all, the sales volume in the past few months shows that it is a successful product, and for long-term cooperation, the interests of both parties should be taken care of in terms of income distribution." ”
Tang Huan took a few sips of tea, looked at Hattori Reijiro and said leisurely, "Mr. Hattori's thoughts are understandable. However, I'm a person who likes to go straight, so some things are straight to the point. ”
Reijiro Hattori smiled, signaling that he was listening.
"With all due respect, your company seems to be blinded by the small profits in front of you, and you don't really develop printers as an independent industry. If we still don't pay enough attention to this and don't make changes, we may miss the opportunity for development. ”
Diverting the topic here, Tang Huan waved his hand vigorously, "In the United States, the development of microcomputers is in the ascendant, and with the advantages of procurement costs and practical functions, it is entering the commercial field in a big way, and Zheru's office software solutions are becoming more and more trusted and welcomed by customers. At the same time, as an important way of output, almost every purchase of computer hardware involves printers. It's clear that PC printers are going to be a significant independent industry. ”
"Originally, I thought that in the past six months, the sales growth of Epson printers in the United States will allow you to fully foresee this trend, and use the technical advantages accumulated in the production of watches to make plans to seize market opportunities and launch improved models, but now it seems that it is obviously not."
Tang Huan unabashedly showed a look of disappointment on his face, and shook his head.
Reijiro Hattori didn't move, "Mr. Tang is very confident in the future of microcomputers, but the conclusions given in the evaluation report I have received are not so optimistic. ”
"In that case, why don't you package up Epson's current printing business and sell it to me." Tang Huan looked at each other with a smile and tried it with words.
Hearing this, Hattori Reijiro shook his head again and again, "When it comes to shares, I have to ask the parent company, and I don't have the right to call the shots." ”
"Then please allow me to acquire some of the shares, and I hope that Mr. Hattori will reflect my opinion to the board of directors as soon as possible, so that we can build a solid foundation for cooperation."
After Tang Huan finished speaking in a sincere tone, he took out a document and handed it over, "Here are some of my proposals for printer business cooperation, you had better form a unified opinion internally as soon as possible, and then reply to me." ”
Seeing Reijiro Hattori looking at it, Tang Huan continued: "From a technical point of view, Epson's technical accumulation in precision machining is indeed very strong, which is enough to cope with the continuous research and development of printers, but the future technology of printers does not only include things at the hardware level of machinery and electronics, in fact, it needs to integrate microprocessors, caches, operating systems and other elements internally to form a structure similar to a microcomputer to process printer-specific instructions." In this way, we can solve various complex application needs, such as the shortcomings of Epson printers that do not directly support Japanese printing. ”
As soon as Reijiro Hattori heard the topic of Japanese printing, he immediately raised his head and stared at Tang Huan, "So, Mr. Tang has his own ideas for solving the problem of Japanese printing?" ”
"That's natural, otherwise why would I cooperate with your company." Tang Huan nodded proudly, "I mentioned this issue in the document. ”
Hattori Reijiro pondered for a moment, "Mr. Tang's document, we will study it as soon as possible, you might as well go back to Tokyo first, we have detailed and thoughtful arrangements for the relevant itinerary." ”
Tang Huan shook his head, "I'm here to inspect Epson and seek cooperation, I can't just just visit it, I plan to stay and investigate it in detail, a lot of experience here is worth learning." ”
"This ......" Reijiro Hattori muttered with a hesitant look on his face, "There are too many uncertainties to keep a Japanese general like you here for a long time, maybe any technical secret or even an engineer will be abducted to the United States by you." ”
"After all, Suwa is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are not as many entertainment projects as there are in Tokyo, and Mr. Tang is in his prime, so he should enjoy life, so why bother himself." Rejiro Hattori continued to persuade bitterly.
Tang Huan naturally wanted to stay here and continue to find out, but Hattori Reijiro just wanted to let himself see the superficial things in a glimpse, and then directly enter the negotiation process, which was too petty, and he was really unhappy.
With an inadvertent turn of his eyes, Tang Huan saw a pair of Go, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, "Mr. Hattori is too modest, it's not just the lights that are considered entertainment, but don't forget the elegant game of Go." Since it is difficult to make progress for a while when talking about business, it is better to simply put it down and play chess to relax. ”
During this period, the Japanese game of Go was still in a flourishing stage, and in addition to the famous professional competitions of the Seven Great Wars, such as the Chess Holy War, the Celebrity War, the Honinbo War, the Judan War, the Tengen War, the Throne War, and the Qi Holy War, there were also various professional competitions, amateur competitions, and women's competitions.
People like to watch, radio broadcasts are enthusiastic, companies are willing to sponsor them, and chess players are paid handsomely, and there are many talented people who combine to make Japan a big country in Go.
In this context, it is impossible for Rejiro Hattori, who was born in a famous family, not to know Go, Tang Huan said this.
Seeing that Tang Huan was so stubborn, Hattori Reijiro also planned to extinguish the opponent's sharpness on the chessboard, so he nodded happily and agreed.
However, he was still a little jealous in his heart. After all, Wu Qingyuan, who once swept the Japanese chess scene, is a Chinese, and Nie Weiping blew the famous "Nie Whirlwind" in Japan with his proud record the year before last.
"We are businessmen after all, time is money, so we still need to cherish one or two, not to play fast chess, just to experience the chronograph function of Seiko watches." Tang Huan said with a somewhat weird smile.
Seeing Tang Huan's determined look, Hattori Reijiro suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he muttered in his heart, playing rapid chess should be a trap designed by the other party a long time ago, but it has been squeezed so that there is no way out, so he can only get into it hard.
At the same time, Rejiro Hattori was also a little unconvinced, what about rapid chess, his chess strength was not bad.
"One move in 20 seconds, and another 5 maneuvers for a total of 5 minutes, Mr. Hattori, please go first." After Tang Huan set the harsh rules, he motioned to Son to help time.
Reijiro Hattori is not young after all, and Tang Huan, who can fight faster than Tang Huan, who is good at this art, was soon defeated, and his back was soaked under the intense mental activity.
"In the high-tech industry, the competitive landscape is changing rapidly, and the requirements for leaders are much stricter than in traditional industries. What do you think, Mr. Hattori? Tang Huan said meaningfully.
Rejiro Hattori took a sip of tea, adjusted his thinking, and replied lightly, "No matter how big the difference is, there will always be similarities." Come, let's move on. ”
Compared with the vertical and horizontal battles in the first game, Tang Huan's game of chess took the route of hand-to-hand combat, and every crisp sound of the chessboard falling means that the rope wrapped around the opponent is tightened by one point.
Seeing that Reijiro Hattori was sweating on his forehead and seemed to be about to collapse, Yasukawa Hideaki was a little anxious, his eyes rolled, and he began to play an off-the-plate move, trying to distract Tang Huan's attention with words.
"A young talent like Mr. Tang, presumably there are beautiful girls around him, I don't know what type you like? Celebrity or professional beauty? ”
As soon as he heard this, Tang Huan burst into a smile, and said in his heart that he didn't expect that the future president would also know that the uniform was tempting, but it was not old-fashioned.
"I should like celebrities more, after all, they know how to show their beauty to the fullest." Tang Huan replied in his mouth, and the speed of the falling son seemed to slow down.
Yaskawa Ying saw that it was effective, and couldn't help but perk up, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Tang is so familiar with Japan, so he should know a little about the Japanese entertainment industry. ”
The drama is coming, this is to pimp yourself and introduce the rhythm of soft girls.
Tang Huan's face deliberately showed a look of joy, "Really, I admire Yamaguchi Baihui very much, can you introduce it to me?" ”
"Well...... Yasukawa Hideaki began to stammer, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, good guy, you really dare to open your mouth.
Yamaguchi Baihui, a film and television singer star, debuted at the age of 13, became popular in Japan at the age of 15, and became popular all over Southeast Asia at the age of 20.
Seeing Yasukawa Yingzhao's constipated look, Tang Huan laughed, "I just talked casually, I already have Teresa Deng." ”
Yasukawa Hideaki involuntarily wiped his forehead, which was also sweating, and asked weakly, "Who is Teresa Deng?" ”
"You'll know when the time comes." Tang Huan smiled mysteriously, he thought in his heart, when Deng Lijun can return to Asia, he must help her sweep the music scene in Little Japan.
Seeing that Tang Huan didn't say anything, Yasukawa Yingzhao didn't ask anymore, for fear that he would come up with something that he couldn't resist again, as for who Telisa Deng was, find time to inquire again.
In the second game of chess, Reijiro Hattori still did not escape the end of defeat, the difference is that the loss is more decent than the first game of defeat, which was ground to death by Tang Huan with a slow knife.
Reijiro Hattori, who had lost two games of chess in a row, was in a trance, and he didn't even react immediately when he heard the message from his subordinates that the headquarters had called him to find him.
Yasukawa Hideaki gently pulled Reijiro Hattori, "President, the headquarters called to find you." ”
Reijiro Hattori, who understood, glanced at Yasukawa Hideaki appreciatively, yes, yes, I know that if I find an excuse to help me out of the siege, the next president will be yours.
Hattori Reijiro stood up, his body couldn't help but stumble, Tang Huan hurriedly reached out to help, and said with concern: "After sitting for so long, it's easy to get low blood pressure when you stand up cold, you have to pay attention to it." ”
"Thanks for the reminder." Reijiro Hattori pinched his nose and thanked him, not to mention how entangled he was.
When he walked outside the door, he whispered to Yasukawa Hideaki, "Keep an eye on this Tang Huan, don't let him get too close to our engineer, it's best to find a way to send him to Tokyo as soon as possible." ”
Yasukawa Hideaki looked embarrassed, "President, I'll do my best." ”
Reijiro Hattori patted his close subordinate on the shoulder comfortingly, "Be patient, I will persuade the board of directors to agree to the sale of shares as soon as possible." Although this Tang Huan has an aggressive style, he is indeed capable and is a worthy partner. ”
