Chapter 0814: RB Can Say No

……

Speaking carefully, the richest man is the bitter owner of many RB companies, including Toshiba - even such a "little thing" as Nintendo is not worth mentioning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, NEC's personal computer PC9800 series was launched at about the same time as the IBM-PC in the United States, but it fell directly on the way to start and sprint. IBM-PC was defeated by Fangyuan personal computers, and the media also sighed in a big way, but RB's local personal computer industry was directly bombarded by Fangyuan personal computers, and there was no emotion.

Another example is that Sony has not only lost the advantages of the home video recorder and broadcast video recorder market, as well as the dominance of traditional video technology and the emerging digital video technology, in fact, even the lithium-ion batteries, which are essential for electronic products such as laptops and mobile phones, which are about to become popular, have also lost the first-mover opportunity.

Similar to Sony, Toshiba, an industrial giant that produced a lot of war readiness for RB militarism during World War II, also missed the pioneers of flash memory and laptops, all of which have the surname Don.

The IT circle is becoming more and more important to Toshiba, which originally flew with heavy mechanical and electrical manufacturing and consumer electronics, and its semiconductor division and NEC semiconductor division have been holding the second and first place in the global semiconductor manufacturer rankings in recent years, which illustrates the trend of changes in the revenue structure of this product.

In other words, Tang Huan's cutting off of beards everywhere has made many large RB companies fall into a passive situation without knowing it.

Of course, there are also some RB companies that have received the favor of the richest man - Epson, Taidong, Yamaha musical instruments and other successful mergers and acquisitions, needless to say, Sharp and Kyocera are all beneficiaries, especially the former in terms of LCD, far ahead of other competitors.

It can be said that Tang Huan also has his own solid alliance of interests in RB, and the members of this circle are all living very well because of this. Although it is not as good as Toshiba and Mitsui Chaebol, it is a leader in the IT ecosystem.

Therefore, when Aoi Shuyi saw Tang Huan, he repeatedly said "I took the liberty of visiting, and I was abrupt", and it was not surprising that he revealed the humility regardless of the age gap.

"President Aoi is gracious, there must be a necessary reason for you to come to me in your busy schedule, and I would like to thank you for trusting me." Tang Huan greeted him quietly, and he really couldn't guess the other party's purpose in his heart.

"It is rumored that Sony's plan to acquire Colombia has already passed the test here in Tang?" Shuichi Aoi asked tentatively.

Tang Huan didn't hide it, nodded, and replied: "In principle, I am optimistic, and Sony also said that it will give sincere opinions, and I believe that the negotiation will not take too long." ”

"In the 1980s, Toshiba continued to try to transform its strategy, so it was also interested in solutions for mass entertainment consumption, such as VCD." Aoi Shuichi said his purpose without any delay.

Tang Huan bowed slightly, Toshiba's rhetoric that it is undergoing strategic transformation is not a smoke bomb, which can be seen from the change of its brand.

As early as 1939, Tokyo Electric and Shibaura Manufacturing Co., Ltd. officially merged to form today's Toshiba, and the new names were the first characters of the two companies, and their English names were also merged according to the Japanese pinyin - 'to' for the Japanese pronunciation of 'Dong', and 'shiba' for the pronunciation of 'shiba'.

However, it was not until 1984 that the new brand name "Toshiba" began to be officially used, which reflected the increasing importance of its own brand.

Compared with Panasonic's channel construction and Sony's brand building, Toshiba is much inferior in this regard.

Previously, Toshiba entered the U.S. market through cooperation with the American retail giant Sears, which was an OEM model.

As it gradually gained a foothold in the international market, Toshiba planned to bypass middlemen like Sears and consider building its own brand, thus unveiling the curtain of strategic transformation.

Tang Huan directly put forward the reality and said: "Since President Aoi has a heart for VCD, it must also be clear that the product does not have that kind of blockbuster treatment in major markets such as the United States, Europe, and RB now. In contrast, home video recorders still reign supreme. ”

"Although home video recorders are still in the mainstream of the market, VCDs are still performing very well, and laser discs are becoming more and more marginalized." Shuichi Aoi, who had been prepared for a long time, affirmed VCD: "VCD shows functions such as multi-channel, subtitles, menu operation, random search, copyright protection, etc., which is far more comprehensive and powerful than other competitors, which indicates that digital video must be the general trend of the market, and now the difference is nothing more than the video quality and home video recorders are on par, and the price, program source and other constraints still need to be improved." ”

Speaking of this, Shuichi Aoi concluded with great optimism: "But this passive situation is only temporary, as long as the rumored version comes out, it is bound to surpass the VCR in terms of picture quality and sound quality; And by that time, the supporting mechanisms such as prices and program sources have also been built as a matter of course. ”

Shuichi Aoi's tone became more enthusiastic, "Everything is under Tang's control, and from the analysis of various signs, what Tang is doing should be to break down the barriers between traditional home appliances such as TVs and computers, game consoles, karaoke and other products, and unify them on the platform of digital technology." This is also the direction that Toshiba is pursuing, and we have the best foundation for cooperation. ”

Tang Huan finally figured it out, and Aoi Shuichi quietly found himself, and it turned out that he was going to play the kind of alliance game that RB companies are best at. However, more than ten years after the original time and space, Toshiba has lost in the competition of the high-definition format - such bad luck will not be contagious everywhere.

The richest man, who had all kinds of thoughts flashing through his heart in an instant, smiled playfully: "President Aoi's opinion on VCD makes me feel like I have met a confidant. But when will Toshiba's current troubles be resolved? I don't want to make the same mistakes as Toshiba. ”

Of course, Shuichi Aoi understood what Tang Chang meant by the trouble, and he replied firmly: "Toshiba admits his mistake and admits punishment, and at the same time invests heavily in public relations in the United States, and the United States is about to change the president, I believe that this little trouble will soon become a thing of the past." After all, the United States is inseparable from RB backed by the Mitsui chaebol, and Toshiba is really confident. I believe that this should also be the general mentality of the current RB elite. After muttering to himself, Tang Huan nodded and said, "I feel very honored by President Aoi's proposal, but I still need to make some preparations. Next, I'm about to go to RB, why don't you talk about it in detail at that time, and leave me a buffer for evaluation, how about it? ”

"Of course, Tang needs time to think about it all, but ......" Shuichi Aoi humbly pleaded, "In the meantime, please make sure that Toshiba is the priority to negotiate, and I promise that Toshiba will show the greatest sincerity in cooperation." ”

……

After Qingjing Shuyi said goodbye, his brother-in-law Han Anyuan came over accompanied by Jinming and Jinliang, and said with a smile: "While RB people are arrogant, they are also very good at drilling camps. ”

"To each his own according to his needs." Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, "The Asian Development Bank, which is controlled by RB people, is throwing money everywhere, maintaining this network well, and pulling some money to Funan can save a lot of effort." ”

Han Anyuan smiled bitterly: "Do you think that the gods of wealth such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are so easy to borrow money, and behind every payment, there are political and economic additional conditions." ”

"The more open Funan is, the more stable your power will be." Tang Huan pointed to the subtlety of it.

The two didn't say a few words, the assistant came to report again, and IOC President Samaranch came to visit.

"You're really a joker here." Han Anyuan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I won't bother here, there are still a lot of things to be busy with at hand." ”

Tang Huan nodded, and instructed Jin Ming and Jin Liang: "Give you a task, during this time in South Korea, accompany your uncle for me." ”

Han Anyuan laughed and touched the top of Jin Ming and Jin Liang's heads, and said with emotion: "Look, the generation of Jin Chang, Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang has also grown up. ”

……

Samaranch is also a person who travels around for the 25th Summer Olympics held in his hometown of Barcelona in 1992, and wants to bring the "Olympic boom" of the Seoul Olympics to Spain.

Super-billionaires like Tang Huan are rare, and super-billionaires with a good relationship and great enthusiasm for sports are becoming more and more unique, and Samaranch will not miss the opportunity to invest in Barcelona.

The richest man said with a wry smile: "I do have a bit of a conservative investment in the next Olympic Games, mainly because of the relationship with Spain, due to the ownership of the Spanish treasure ships in the Age of Discovery, there has always been a separation, and I have to be cautious in real estate projects in Spain." ”

"The next Olympics will be in Barcelona, and Barcelona and Catalonia, I can assure, will be very friendly to Don." Samaranch, who was born in politics and has a non-negligible influence in Barcelona, swore that "Don, you must know that Catalonia has great autonomy, and the attitude of Spain does not mean that the attitude of Catalonia and Barcelona is the attitude. ”

Tang Huan nodded, he believed this, after all, in the original time and space, Catalonia was to Spain, similar to Scotland to England, and there was a referendum on independence every once in a while, which can be described as boiling, and the two giants of La Liga in football, Barcelona and Real Madrid, also more or less reflected this trend of separation.

Spain is in this situation because it was born through the marriage of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of the United Kingdom of Aragon, at a time when Aragon and Castile still maintained their own traditions and political systems. It was only due to various reasons that Spain's political power gradually tilted towards Castile, and the Spanish kingdom centered on it was further formed. But as Spain's most economically advantageous region for a long time, Catalonia is naturally dissatisfied.

Overall, as long as there are no political risks, investing in Barcelona and even Catalonia can indeed make a profit, and even find opportunities to bridge the gap with Spain.

While expressing his trust in Samaranch and his willingness to invest in the preparation process for the Barcelona Olympic Games, Tang Huan implicitly proposed that he wanted the other party to be busy, one was that Funan was also willing to vigorously develop the sports career, and the other was to find a decent job for Neligin in the international sports organization.

Samaranch's political quality is absolutely excellent, otherwise he would not be able to mediate and coordinate the organization of an incomparably glamorous and lively Olympic Games. He said unequivocally: "Funan is willing to vigorously develop sports, and the IOC should support it; As a world-renowned Olympic champion in gymnastics, it was only natural for Nieligin to want to work in an international sports organization. ”

Soon, the two came to an agreement and finally parted happily.

……

In this Olympic Games, the South Korean women's gymnastics team won a gold medal in the case of traditional powerhouses such as the Soviet Union and East Germany, and made history.

Speaking of which, Mr. The richest man is absolutely affectionate and righteous towards Nelijin.

For example, the Chernobyl nuclear accident polluted most of Belarus. Tang Huan, who was busy with affairs, did not forget to send Neligin's parents, sister, younger brother and other relatives to Moscow, away from the legendary source of incomparably terrifying nuclear pollution.

Therefore, for Tang Huan's arrangement, Neligin obeyed his words and accepted some additional tasks without hesitation.

……

After settling down this obedient woman, Tang Huan first went around and went to the treasure island where the political arena was tossing and turning, and saw that his industry was not affected, so he turned back to RB and went to Sony on time to negotiate with Columbia Pictures.

Although the dust has not yet settled on this capital operation, it has inevitably spread in RB, and Akio Morita, the dominant one, has naturally soared in popularity.

What's even more intriguing is that the book "RB Can Say No", which he co-authored with RB's famous political figure Shintaro Ishihara, also took advantage of the situation to meet the public, and catered to the subtle psychology of some RB elites under the climate of RB's rapid economic growth, and quickly became a hot topic of discussion in RB China.

Tang Huan held this bestseller in his hand and looked at it playfully.
