Although he knew that Tang Huan still had huge digital music ambitions after laser records and MIDI actions, Yasukawa Hideaki did not cater to it, but directly stated his opinion, "I'm afraid it's very difficult, Genichi Kawakami, who is known as the emperor of Yamaha, has already retired, but he came back the year before last and became the president, which shows how strong his desire to control Yamaha is." ”

"You've got a point." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "But I heard that Genichi Kawakami, who is nearly seventy years old, insisted on making a comeback, which not only caused an uproar in public opinion, but also brought a lot of confusion within Yamaha. ”

Kawakami's father, Yoshiichi Kawakami, was Yamaha's third president, and in 1950 he succeeded his father as Yamaha's fourth president, and from 1975 onwards he handed over power one after another.

During the more than 20 years that Kawakami was at the helm of Shuaiyin, Yamaha developed rapidly, producing musical instruments ranging from the original organ and piano to electronic organ and wind instruments, and became an important participant in the development of MIDI standards.

Similar to Tang Huan's efforts to promote his own philosophical software and Fangyuan Computer's training and certification centers, Genichi Kawakami set up a foundation to popularize music education, hold music competitions, and sign singers to become popular.

Celine. Dion's music competition in Japan this time is the handiwork of Yamaha, and the singer it has cultivated, the most well-known may be Miyuki Nakajima.

Genichi Kawakami became Miyuki Nakajima's Bole, which was just a small episode in his later years.

The biggest change he brought to Yamaha was the diversification of its business, which began designing and manufacturing Yamaha motorcycles in 1955 and also involved in sports, resorts, semiconductors, and other industries.

It is because of these results. Genichi Kawakami was touted by the Japanese media as Yamaha's "master of ZTE". His authority at Yamaha is evident from this.

The reason is after the official retirement. Genichi Kawakami is also making a comeback, mainly because there is a clear disagreement within Yamaha on the issue of heirs.

So, in June 1980, Kawakami Genichi cleanly dismissed the fifth president, Hiroshi Kawashima, kicked out this disobedient puppet, re-sat on the throne, became the sixth president, and paved the way for his eldest son Hiroshi Kawakami to succeed him as the seventh president. Clear all kinds of obstacles.

It is true that Japan is accustomed to family inheritance, but it is also necessary to pay attention to strategies and methods, at least it must be passable on the face, and Kawakami Genichi's rough and domineering methods are simply not even a little cover-up, which naturally attracted a lot of discussion in the media.

The last time the MIDI industry standard was discussed, Tang Huan visited Yamaha, now Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., and noticed some unnatural atmosphere inside Yamaha.

At present, Tang Huan, who already has enough capital, naturally has no need to start everything from scratch. Coupled with the principle of buying the best, he is interested in the Yamaha musical instrument industry in this field. I couldn't help but use my brain more and more secretly.

"But with Genichi Kawakami's authority in Yamaha, a little dissent can be completely suppressed." Yasukawa Hideaki reminded.

"Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., which manufactures motorcycles, is the brainchild of Genichi Kawakami, and we are only interested in Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd." Tang Huan's interest is still undiminished, "Epson just broke away from the Hattori family smoothly. ”

"Epson, which has an increasing proportion of computer products, is no longer the ancestral industry of the Hattori family, but Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd. is Yamaha's old business." Yasukawa Hideaki, who defected from the Hattori family, smiled unnaturally.

"Genichi Kawakami is a seasoned businessman, will he cling to these false names?" Tang Huan frowned and groaned, "I heard that Yamaha and Honda have been fighting in the motorcycle field since 1979, and they have been fighting for four years now. ”

In fact, in the field of motorcycle manufacturing, Honda and Yamaha Motor, which are in first and second place respectively, have long been good friends.

As early as World War II, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., which was still the engine department of Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., cooperated a lot with Soichiro Honda's Tokai Seiki Co., Ltd. when producing propellers for Japanese fighters, and Yamaha's third president, Kaichi Kawakami, and Soichiro Honda also had a lot of connections.

After the end of World War II, Yamaha Motor continued to maintain a harmonious relationship with Honda, and the fifth president of Yamaha, Hiroshi Kawashima, who was driven away by Genichi Kawakami, was the younger brother of Kawashima's second president, Kawajima.

But in order to compete for market share, the two companies still went to the opposite side, just like the calculator war that Sharp and Casio once staged, the result of the shopping not only caused the prices of the products of both sides to fall one after another, but also led to high inventories.

How can this thing be compared to Zheru's software, even if it is a screw in the backlog, it is bought with real money.

Therefore, Tang Huan even has reason to feel that he paid for Nippon Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd., whose business capacity has passed the peak of the 1960s and 1970s, is to help Genichi Kawakami's Yamaha Motor accumulate strength, and it belongs to the great good people who do good deeds and do not want to be famous.

When he heard Tang Huan's assertion that "this should be the weakest stage of Yamaha", Yasukawa Hideaki subconsciously kept his waist up, and his eyes began to glow, and he tasted the implicit meaning contained in it - "If it is soft, it will be hard".

When Epson went public and began to wave checks to acquire several companies that master LCD, lithium-ion batteries, and other technologies, Yaskawa became obsessed with this feeling of conquering the city.

He repeatedly reminded Tang Huan that it was not easy to acquire Yamaha's musical instrument industry, and that it was to do his due duty to his subordinates, but after the boss made up his mind, he couldn't enjoy the fun of charging ahead and killing all sides.

After Epson broke away from the control of the Hattori family, the sea was wide and the fish jumped, and the sky was high and the birds could fly.

Thinking of this, Yasukawa Hideaki asked tentatively, "Then let's make preparations for the combination of soft and hard." How about winning Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd.? ”

Tang Huan bowed slightly. Write a list of names on sticky notes. "You go and contact these financial consortia, after they have reaped the benefits of Pacific Communications, they are still playing the idea of the upcoming listing of Fangyuan Computer shares, and now it's time to play a role and put some pressure on Yamaha."

Yasukawa Hideaki bowed down and took the note, and Hai finished speaking, and then asked, "Then how does Yamaha act here?" ”

"Of course, it's the first salute and then the soldiers." Tang Huan smiled meaningfully. "I'm going to see Yamaha's music competition, and if the opportunity is right, I'll talk to Genichi Kawakami."

……

After coming to the concert hall, Tang Huan deliberately looked for Deng Lijun and found that she was having a good conversation with a Japanese woman of the same age, so he walked to the side and sat down.

Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan, pursed her lips and laughed, causing the Japanese woman to be confused and ask in a low voice.

"Didn't you ask me about the songwriter of the song 'The First Dream', it's him." Deng Lijun smiled and gestured.

"It turned out to be Mr. Tang Huan. Teresa, please introduce me in the middle. Please. The Japanese woman hurriedly pleaded.

"No problem." Deng Lijun smiled and nodded, turned her eyes to Tang Huan, and said seriously: "Mr. Tang, let me introduce to you, this is a famous talent in the Japanese music scene, Miss Miyuki Nakajima." ”

Tang Huan nodded suddenly, it turned out that this was the singer-songwriter who was full of literary style.

"It's an honor that I sang "The Drop of Dreams" and "The First Dream", and Miyuki admired it very much......" As soon as Deng Lijun's voice fell, Miyuki Nakajima hurriedly interjected and added, "There is also "Blue and White Porcelain". ”

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, and muttered to himself in his heart, didn't he say that Miyuki Nakajima was good at sad love songs, why was he still interested in inspirational style.

I only heard Deng Lijun continue: "Miyuki wanted to adapt the Japanese version of "The First Dream", so she found me and asked for your opinion. ”

"I don't have any opinions." Tang Huan nodded, and at the same time said in his heart, "It should be returned to its original owner." ”

"That's good, I'm going to get a cover song from Miyuki in exchange." Deng Lijun made a sigh of relief.

"Teresa, if it weren't for the fact that the company has been assigned too many tasks lately, and the annoying rules and regulations, I really want to write a song for you right away." Miyuki Nakajima explained apologetically.

"It's okay, I understand too well what it means to be in front of the company's arrangement, and the artist can't help himself." Deng Lijun patted Miyuki Nakajima's arm comfortingly, "Actually, it's good to be able to cover a song of yours." ”

Speaking of this, Deng Lijun sighed softly, "I'm about to be thirty years old, and I suddenly have some understanding, maybe only Meixue's music style can help me tell my feelings." ”

Feeling Deng Lijun's meaningful eyes, Tang Huan was speechless, and said in his heart, "This hatred is still remembered!" ”

At this time, Miyuki Nakajima apologized and was called away.

Tang Huan coughed lightly and said slowly: "I think that Miyuki Nakajima's single "Getting Started" released in 1980 - "Habit of Loneliness" meets your requirements, and even I already have a preliminary adaptation idea called "Walking on the Road of Life". ”

"Really, then go back and give me the manuscript." Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan, "I didn't expect you to be quite familiar with Miyuki Nakajima's songs." ”

"If you don't dabble in a wide range of things, can you complete the task here?" Tang Huan waved his hand and quickly changed the topic, "I came to you this time for another thing. ”

"What's so solemn, can't you make a phone call, you have to run to face to face?" Deng Lijun, who was careless, was obviously shifting her attention to the upcoming singing competition.

"It's only clear to explain it in person, and it also allows you to prepare in advance." Tang Huan, who replied in a low voice, also shifted his gaze.

"Shouldn't it be your plan to complain about me interrupting my train of thought some time ago?" Deng Lijun asked with a smile.

"Have you found that artists at this stage, if they want to further improve their professional heights, they often adopt the method of cross-border development." Tang Huan didn't answer the conversation, but said to himself, "For example, Alan Tam, who is currently popular in Xiangjiang, has gone hand in hand in music and movies in the past two years. ”

"You don't want me to act in a movie too, do you?" Deng Lijun subconsciously asked.

"You guessed it, that's how I think of it." Tang Huan nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you made a song and dance film "Miss Fans" in the early 1970s, and you haven't been electrocuted since. ”

"Yes, I remember I was only seventeen years old at the time, and now I'm about to enter the age of thirty." Deng Lijun, who was relieved from her memories, sighed.

Tang Huan complained very loudly, "Can we stop mentioning this again." Besides, what's wrong with being thirty years old, isn't it still in the prime of life. ”

"Do you think I'm holding a grudge?" Deng Lijun smiled, "That's easy to do, I can seriously prepare for the movie, but the premise is that you have to star with me." ”

"Of course there's no problem, I was very successful in the movie "Fang Shiyu", and my cameo as the helmsman was very successful." Tang Huan patted his chest happily.

"You didn't understand what I meant." Deng Lijun snorted softly, "I play the heroine, and you play the hero." ”

"No kidding, aren't you embarrassed for me?" Tang Huan felt as if he was sweating on his forehead.

……

Celine. Although Dion is not very old, under Tang Huan's intentional cultivation, she is no longer the country girl, she has seen a lot of big scenes, her psychological quality is extremely passable, and her on-site performance is very good.

Eventually, Celine. Dion won the awards for Best Song and Best Performer with a song "Tellementjaidamourpourtoi" - "I Love You So Much", which can be regarded as a preliminary success in entering the world music scene.

When Tang Huan, Genichi Kawakami, Hiroshi Kawakami, father and son walked to the conference room together, Miyuki Nakajima, who was accompanying him, was very surprised, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Deng Lijun, "Are Mr. Tang and Mr. Kawakami acquainted?" ”

"Actually, Mr. Tang is an engineer and businessman, and composing lyrics and music is just one of his hobbies." Deng Lijun replied with a smile.

……

"If you give up the nearly 100-year-old business of making musical instruments, is Yamaha still Yamaha?" When Tang Huan revealed his acquisition target, Genichi Kawakami, who was in his prime, asked a sonorous rhetorical question.

"As far as I know, the Yamaha Motor, which Mr. Kawakami created single-handedly, is the biggest source of profits, otherwise it would not have been a big fight with Honda, which has always been a good relationship, in the market."

Tang Huan smiled faintly and continued without hesitation: "Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd.'s order volume for musical instruments has shown a significant downward trend this year. When I buy your company, I'm actually helping you. With this deal, Yamaha Motor, which is mired in the quagmire, will undoubtedly receive strong support. (To be continued......)
