The next day, the negotiations between Chen Xiaotang and the old guy Akio Morita began, and the fat man Wang Jing basically did not participate in the negotiations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Don't think they're stupid, as soon as Morita came, the fat man went to Sony to spread the news, saying that the company was going to sell, which made Sony jump up and down, and people panicked, so as to create pressure on both sides.

On the spacious balcony of the newly established North American Magic Shadow Entertainment Company, Akio Morita praised as soon as he stepped on the carpet: "It's really open-minded here, and it may be a pleasure to be able to negotiate here!" ”

"It's just maybe, isn't it?" Chen Xiaotang said with a meaningful side face to this old guy who was so old that he didn't even like Lord Yama that he had to come to the negotiation table, and Akio Morita was stunned. Because there was only a table and two chairs in front of him, it meant that there was no place for anyone else to sit.

"I'm sorry, you know that the Shadow spent a lot of money on the acquisition of Fox, and we had to cut our administrative expenses, please take a seat!" Chen Xiaotang smiled and stretched out his hand to gesture, and sat down first.

It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open, and the Shadow can be so poor that it cuts administrative expenses! Akio Morita glanced at the four embarrassed negotiation assistants on the left and right, and then glanced behind Chen Xiaotang, Chen Xiaotang only brought a female secretary who was smiling, well, the wave on his chest was still very big. In desperation, I had to secretly suffer this loss.

"Without further ado, we can start negotiating!" Sheng Tian was slightly annoyed by Chen Xiaotang's deliberate behavior, and simply spoke neatly: "First of all, I want to tell Mr. Chen that the value of our Sony records ......."

"Wait......" Chen Xiaotang beckoned and said to Ye Zimei, the personal assistant beside him, "I'm a little thirsty." Come to a glass of water first, Mr. Morita will be exempted, he can't get used to our Chinese tea. ”

Ye Zimei rushed over from Hong Kong with the fat man Wang Jing, and she already knew Chen Xiaotang's temperament, and said with a smile: "I understand the boss." After speaking, he glanced at the old Japanese man intentionally or unintentionally.

Sheng Tian Zhaofu felt even more annoyed, Chen Xiaotang did it on purpose, thinking of this, he thought it was Chen Xiaotang's plan, and wanted to provoke him, so he immediately calmed down. But Chen Xiaotang thought about it like this, just now he was just giving a dismount. Since you are not used to the Chinese, then I don't even let you drink a sip of tea.

Gently taking a sip of the tea handed over, Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, I drank too much last night." I'm a little uncomfortable, you know, it's a lot of entertainment in our business. By the way, you just said the value of Sony Records, right? ...... Amei"

Ye Zimei's smile was very strong woman, and she took out a copy of information and read it: "Japan's Sony Records made a profit of 57 million US dollars in the first half of last year, of which the record sales alone reached more than 30 million, ranking among the best among all record companies in North America......"

Listening to Ye Zimei's narration, Akio Morita snorted coldly and raised his spatula eyebrows proudly.

Chen Xiaotang didn't mind and motioned for Ye Zimei to continue.

Ye Zimei said: "But since the second half of last year. Sony record sales fell significantly. In particular, the sales of cassette tapes are almost stagnant, and according to the current market conditions, at least more than 20 million goods are in stock; And for now, the losses are still continuing! An American accounting firm has calculated that Sony Records' current market value is $1.3 billion. ”

Akio Morita showed no surprise. If the Demon Shadow dared to negotiate without even getting this bit of information, it would have been bankrupt a long time ago, and how could he be qualified to talk about negotiations here. Chen Xiaotang's fingers scratched his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Shengtian." Do you think it's necessary to talk to me about the value of Sony Records? ”

"No, that's an incorrect number!" Akio Morita is very angry, and Chen Xiaotang imagines very maliciously, if he takes this old guy to the edge of the balcony and looks down, will he scare this guy to death: "The reason why we have inventory is not because of the impact of your VCD?!" I believe that as long as Mr. Chen is willing to give up the patent rights of VCD, then we Sony Records will immediately cheer up, of course, I will give you a satisfactory price! ”

It is worthy of an old fox, and he is very cunning.

Originally, Chen Xiaotang wanted to acquire his Sony Records, but now it's good, the old fox wants to directly buy the VCD patent rights in Chen Xiaotang's hands.

If the Japanese buy this patent, Chen Xiaotang believes that it will not be long before the Japanese who are good at creating and inventing will be able to dominate the entire VCD market, which is absolutely not allowed.

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "Mr. Shengtian, thank you for looking up to the patent in my hand, but I don't plan to sell it for the time being." ”

Akio Morita seemed to have expected Chen Xiaotang to say this, so he had already prepared the next move.

"Mr. Chen......" Akio Morita was in a lame Chinese, and it was probably the first time in his life that he pronounced it in such pinyin, which felt very awkward. There is a kind of "I'm going to tell you a secret" in his expression ~ bewilderment ~ sex.

"If you are not willing to sell the patents in your hands, it doesn't matter, we can cooperate in another way, and we at Sony Records Japan will very much welcome your investment......"

The fox's tail is finally revealed.

Welcome to invest?

What does it mean?

Since you want to invest, then of course there is a price.

Sure enough, Akio Morita continued: "We don't need you to come up with too much money, we only need you to invest in technology, to be precise, you only need to invest in VCD's patented technology, then you can integrate with our Sony Records, I dare to guarantee that Sony Records will be able to make a lot of money for you in the future!" ”

No way? Chen Xiaotang's eyes widened, and his expression of disbelief was undisguised. Listening to this tone, this old Japanese man seems to have settled on himself and will not give up until he snatches his patents.

What a bullshit investment, just a robbery covered with a red cloth.

As long as the patent is in the hands of the other party, people won't kick themselves away?!

The Japanese, it's bad enough!

Akio Morita was indeed playing this idea, in his opinion, although this young man was talented, but he was still a little younger, as long as he cheated the chips in his hand, he would kick him out in the name of the board of directors. Damn fellow, only by kicking his ass will he learn how to treat the old man.

"You know, Sony Records is in a very awkward position at the moment, with cartridges being phased out and a lot of inventory overstocked...... However, I think that as long as Mr. Chen is willing to join in, then all problems will be solved. Just like you Chinese often say, help others for fun. For the sake of happiness, you have helped me, and I will definitely give you back well, and then you will get more than just our friendship. And a lot of profits! Trust me! Friend!!! ”

Chen Xiaotang admires the Japanese old man in front of him too much, picking, even "helping others for fun" has moved out, why don't you sing "Chinese are all living Lei Feng"?!

Having said that, everyone originally met to talk about Sony's acquisition, but now the old Japanese man wants to oppose customers and obtain patents, and I can't help but admire the deceitful spirit of the Japanese in business. It is estimated that in their eyes, the IQ of the Chinese is still in the stage of historical advancement, and their Japanese IQ is high. It's all fine.

Come to think of it. He couldn't help but laugh, laughing so heartily that even Akio Morita behind the table was stunned......

"Mr. Chen, are you alright......" Akio Morita hesitated for a moment, he was a little skeptical that the unusually mature young man in front of him was insane.

"It's fine. It's okay! Chen Xiaotang couldn't hold back a laugh, as the chairman of the board of directors of a large company, he was in a weak position as if he had a request, for Chen Xiaotang, who has always liked to be strong. It's incredible.

However, this was exactly the effect he wanted, and he knew very well that it was difficult for this old guy to move with just a few words. So, everything today is just a play, a play that can completely cross the Yankees.

"Since you want me to invest, no problem......" Chen Xiaotang deliberately pretended to think for a while, and then stood up suddenly, and saw that he was startled by Akio Morita, so he supported the table with both hands and leaned forward, letting the space and distance cause pressure: "If I bring the patent over, and then invest another 300 million US dollars,

So how much controlling stake should I take? ”

Sheng Tian, the old guy, really startled Chen Xiaotang, especially when Chen Xiaotang half-leaned over and stared at him like this, it really felt as if Chen Xiaotang was manipulating him. Holding back his fluctuating emotions, Akio Morita glanced at Chen Xiaotang in surprise, and then stood up very proudly, taking the initiative to counteract the pressure deliberately created by Chen Xiaotang: "I'm sorry, if you plan to win the absolute controlling stake, then, don't talk about it!" ”

"What if it's $800 million?" Now that the distance between Chen Xiaotang and Akio Morita has gradually narrowed, Chen Xiaotang's aggressive gaze and attitude have formed an extremely huge contrast with Fang Cai: "What if it's a billion dollars?" ”

Hearing such a huge amount, Akio Morita knew that the other party was playing with himself.

One billion US dollars, the market price of the entire Sony record is only about 1.8 billion, and people take out one billion at once, doesn't that mean that most of the company is owned by others.

But then again, if Chen Xiaotang was really willing to invest a billion dollars instead of a controlling stake, it would be great, with such funds, it is enough to open up a larger and broader market, and it can directly pull Sony Records out of the quagmire...... Akio Morita's heart couldn't help but beat again and again.

Chen Xiaotang is now like a devil, and said softly in a dreamy tone: "One billion dollars, with one billion dollars, Sony Records can dominate North America and dominate the entire music market." And you, as the founder of Sony, will also get more rewards, fame, money, status...... In your lifetime, climb to new heights; Let go of the power in our hands for the time being, let's work together, in order to realize our dreams, what is the difficulty of giving up everything in front of us? ”

Akio Morita was completely caught in a fierce psychological struggle, and it was as if two angels and demons were fighting each other in his heart. Chen Xiaotang's extremely seductive tone made him hopelessly fall into the imagination of realizing his dreams, if it is really as Chen Xiaotang said, even if he gives up Sony, but as the founder of Sony, he still has a sense of honor, especially in his lifetime to see Sony dominate the North American music scene, that feeling must be very "Ya Yan Butterfly" (comfortable).

Unconsciously, Akio Morita was sweating profusely, and suddenly finally understood that this was Chen Xiaotang's trap. couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face, and set his eyes on Chen Xiaotang, who was standing on the balcony with his hands behind his back, and shouted loudly in fear: "You are the devil." I will never hand it over to you! ”

Chen Xiaotang is observing the skyscrapers outside, as a large business district in Los Angeles, the environment here is really good. It's just that he's not so much observing the environment as he's thinking about where Sony Records would be better relocated in the future.

Hearing Akio Morita's shout, Chen Xiaotang smiled disapprehantly, but this smile was somewhat weird. He didn't turn around immediately, but put down his hands to make himself feel calmer. And not sharp.

Letting Akio Morita gasp in the back, Chen Xiaotang thought about it, believing that this old Japanese man should be calm enough to think, so he naturally turned around. He smiled peacefully. It's just that in such a situation, the more peaceful the smile is, the more mysterious and terrifying it looks in the eyes of Akio Morita.

Chen Xiaotang smiled at him slightly, and his white teeth turned into sharp swords in Akio Morita's eyes at this time. With a smile, Chen Xiaotang stared at his opponent, there was no fierce meaning in his eyes, and said very calmly: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, I said, this is a big deal, you can think carefully about our acquisition agreement." As long as you want. Still valid for a week! ”

After speaking, Chen Xiaotang floated away. Akio Morita came to the balcony and looked at Chen Xiaotang's distant figure, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. He felt that this Chinese was really too terrible, like a devil, and he didn't pay attention to it a little. Just fell into the other party's way. The god of sunshine, you must know that you were a hunter from the beginning, and you were the one who set it down, but in the end you almost put yourself in......

Wait for the old guy Akio Morita to go back to the hotel. Chen Xiaotang quickly gave Mike. Jackson and Madonna called and asked them to come over.

Coming to the office of the chairman of the board of directors of the Magic Shadow, Chen Xiaotang was very full of ambition for a while. When Mike Madonna and the two arrived, Chen Xiaotang briefly explained the situation just now.

Mike pouted, "I knew these Japs weren't that easy to fool." ”

Madonna doesn't care, originally she participated because of Chen Xiaotang herself.

"What should I do, is that it?" Mike asked.

Chen Xiaotang didn't answer, his fingers twitching like a villain dancing on his legs.

"Since Akio Morita doesn't want to sell, then we'll let him sell it!" Chen Xiaotang smiled weirdly, things in the mall are like this, if you want to grow, you have to hurt the interests of others. He thought for a moment before saying, "Now we may have to go all out, in the final analysis, it is still a war of money!" ”

"I'll give another 300 million dollars, and we will make up a billion together, I don't believe that Sony is still so stubborn!" Mike obviously guessed what Chen Xiaotang wanted to do, and said with a smile.

"Well, I'm out 500 million here, and it just so happens that movies and records have made a lot of money, and they just happen to be used to operate." Chen Xiaotang swore that he was really lucky, he was still worried about money, but who knew that it was only more than three months, and his two major projects helped him earn a lot of capital, what does this mean, it shows that even God is helping him, God is going to destroy Sony, and no one can save him.

As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields.

In the mall, Chen Xiaotang has never been a kind person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to create a huge Shadow Entertainment in just seven years.

Therefore, after having money in his hands, Chen Xiaotang began to encircle Sony Records inside and outside, as well as attack the stock market.

It's very simple to say, it is to keep digging into Sony's walls, keep creating rumors that Sony Records is about to go out of business, and keep stunning Sony's allies and partners with money...... In short, do everything you can to put Sony Records in dire straits.

I have to say that Chen Xiaotang is very bad and despicable, and such moves are very shameless, but compared to the shamelessness of the Japanese, Chen Xiaotang thinks that he is inferior. Therefore, I comfort myself in my heart, I am not a pure person, but only a series of impure struggles to achieve the goal of impurity.

Soon, these actions paid off.

First, Sony Records' partner companies terminated their contracts with Sony Records, followed by the resignation of many senior Sony employees within Sony, and then the Sony Record stock index fell sharply in the stock market...... A series of changes have made the whole Sony lifeless and complaining, and even if there is no outsider fanning the flames, everyone feels that Sony seems to be "finished".

As the president of Sony Records in Japan, the old man Akio Morita has been very restless these days, and the reporter chased after him and beat him hard, "Excuse me, is Sony going bankrupt?" "Is Sony Records in debt?" "Sony isn't for sale?" ……

"No comment! I have nothing to say about all this! The old man was furious. After all, he is in his sixties, and his body can't bear this anger, and he almost can't afford to get sick.

This time, the media is talking again.

"Sony is about to go out of business, and the president can't afford to be sick!"

"Sony is finished, the boss is seriously ill and difficult to treat!"

……

Needless to say, the entire Sony Records has reached the end of its rope.

When Chen Xiaotang was leisurely, Akio Morita, who was sick, went crazy, and now he is about to be forced to Liangshan, if the United States has Liangshan. After thinking about it, in order to avoid the bankruptcy of the record company, he thought that his only way was to sell.

Now he knows one thing very well, if he sells Sony Records, then he will definitely be able to make more than a billion dollars, otherwise if he really has to file for bankruptcy, then he may not get anything. Under the torment in his heart, he had no choice but to sell the record company he had worked so hard to build to Chen Xiaotang.

Mean fellow, he thought.

If he had a knife in his hand at this moment, Akio Morita would not mind breaking Chen Xiaotang, a Chinese, into pieces!
