Chapter 369 The "Saint of Management" who was?

Michael. Jackson is definitely the king of pop that no one can replace, but his influence in the world is amazing. In terms of fans, I am afraid that in addition to Zhang Yi, he is the most now.

He jumped to Zhang Yi's Rolling Stone Records, which is definitely not a simple Rolling Stone Records, but also a pop king.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly caused a sensation in the world. And Sony has undoubtedly become the object of ridicule by others.

When Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, Zhang Yi's Extreme Movie Company took the opportunity to poach people and almost paralyzed Columbia Pictures. The two film companies then feuded. Then there was a war of words.

Of course, the reason for the feud between the two companies is investigated to the grievances between Zhang Yi and the Japanese consortium. However, no matter how the feud is, the two film companies are fighting anyway.

Although Columbia Pictures has just been acquired by Sony, it is an established Hollywood film company after all. Although Zhang Yi's Polar Film Company is just a new film company, it is definitely cutting-edge in Hollywood, and it stands on its heels. Although the background is not as good, but the strength is strong. Whether it is an achievement at the box office or an achievement at the Oscars, it is remarkable.

The two film companies fought against each other. Colombia invested more than $100 million to shoot "Godzilla", while Extreme Pictures only invested more than $70 million to shoot "Independence Day", but the script was written by Zhang Yi, the man who won three Oscars for Best Screenplay.

Everyone likes to watch the excitement. This kind of feud between two companies, especially two film companies. Undoubtedly wonderful. So, a lot of good people have wide eyes. Get ready for a feast for the eyes.

It really made them addicted. Whether it was the scolding battle between the two film companies before the release of the film, or the film itself, they did not disappoint. However, the results were a little disappointing for them. Because the disparity is so great.

It's too big, and it's too subversive. The big-investment, big-production, big-publicity film "Godzilla" did not do the "Independence Day" of Jiying Film Company. Not only has it not been done at the box office, but it has not even done word of mouth, but it is far from it.

The competition was not fierce, and the winner was decided in less than two days. For good deeds. Inevitably, there will be some disappointment. However, then they were shown a new continent. Especially the media that are doing good things.

Zhang Yi not only shoots Sony's product market, especially the electronic product market. Now, Sony has no way to fight back in the movie. Lost money and lost face. Now he has quietly poached the "money printing machine" of other record companies.

It's like slapping someone in the face and cutting off their roots.

It is said that Akio Sonny Morita heard that Michael had changed jobs and spit out a mouthful of old blood. fired a few high-level people, and then entered the hospital, and it is estimated that there is not much left of the old life.

This time it seems to be really angry. Thinking that at the beginning, he didn't frown when he lost hundreds of millions of dollars to Zhang Yi, but he was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital.

There is a good thing that has been reported in the media. On the day that Akio Morita was admitted to the hospital, he also received a greeting call from Zhang Yi. As for what he said, it is impossible to verify, and he has not received a reply from the two parties. I only know that after Akio Morita answered the phone, he spit out a mouthful of old blood, and it is rumored that there is only half of his life left.

However. Things seem to have deviated a little because of Zhang Yi's appearance. This old man who still has a few years to live in time just didn't make it until October '99 and burped.

"Sixth uncle, who are you?" Zhang Yi looked at Shao Daheng with some confusion and asked.

Shao Daheng didn't speak, but handed over a newspaper and said, "I guess you kid haven't read the newspaper and don't know the news yet!" ”

"What's the news?" Zhang Yi smiled, but when he looked at the newspaper, he was shocked.

It's just a gossip tabloid, and the circulation in Hong Kong is not very high, but Zhang Yi was surprised by the headlines on the front page of this issue. A line of large characters, very conspicuous, it reads: The death of Akio Morita, the "saint of management" in Japan!

And under this line of big characters, there is also a bright red boy, which reads: In ancient times, there was Kong Mingqi Zhou Yu, and now there is Zhang Yiqi Zhaofu!

This report tells the story of Akio Morita, the honorary chairman of Sony, who died yesterday, January 30, 1991, at the age of 70 after entering the hospital in a fit of rage.

Naturally, this report is not a tribute to Japan's "Saint of Management" Akio Morita, who is as famous as Japan's "God of Management" Konosuke Matsushita. Rather, the cause of his death was deduced.

And as a result, naturally, as the title says, Zhang Yi was angry to death.

The report sorted out the grievances between Zhang Yi and Sony, and told Zhang Yi to be angry with Akio Morita very logically.

Zhang Yi and Akio Morita naturally met on the opening day of the Guoshu Building in Los Angeles. And in that encounter, Akio Morita directly lost hundreds of millions of dollars to Zhang Yi. After that, the grievances between the two gradually increased because of their interests.

That grievance is naturally that the products of Zhang Yi's technology company have a great impact on the market of Sony's products in the world, and even directly replace Sony's market in some regions.

In electronics, the competition between the two is bloody.

And this competition then continued to film and television.

Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, Zhang Yi was behind the scenes, and was put on a show, spending hundreds of millions of dollars more than expected to win Columbia Pictures, and Zhang Yi was also made difficult to ride on public opinion, and had to spend a lot of money to shoot a big production.

As a result, this large-scale production was sniped by Zhang Yi's Jiying Film Company for a movie, and both the box office and word-of-mouth failed. And their defeat is a foil to the success of Polar Shadow Film Company. The gap is huge, and sorrow starts from the heart.

And fortunately, Zhang Yi actually stabbed Sony again at this time. To add insult to injury. poaching the "money printing machine" of Sony Records made the whole Sony a joke.

Akio Morita, who had not failed so much for decades, actually suffered defeat at a young man who was only in his twenties, and he was immediately furious and went to the hospital.

And after entering the hospital, according to rumors, Zhang Yi also called to "condole". Condolences, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that it was Zhang Yi's excuse of "condolences" and calling Akio Morita.

As for what was said, it is impossible to know. However, after answering Zhang Yi's call, Akio Morita spit out a mouthful of old blood after hanging up the phone, and then fell unconscious, and after persisting for more than half a month, he hung up.

"What the hell did you call and say to that old guy off?" Shao Daheng saw Zhang Yi put down the newspaper, and then asked curiously.

"Sixth uncle, you don't think that guy was by me, do you? That Akio Morita has such an achievement, how can his heart be narrow-minded? How could you be by my words! Zhang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly.

How the fuck does it feel like you've been shot? An old man in his seventies died, and he actually had something to do with him.

"You're right, those who can do big things will definitely not be narrow-minded. But don't forget, that guy is now in his seventies and eighties. The mental capacity is not as good as it was back then. Shao Daheng shook his head with a smile and said, "What's more, don't tell me that after he went to the hospital, you called him to really express your condolences and wish him a speedy recovery or something." Don't say I don't believe it, I'm sure no one in the world will. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect that one of his phone calls would come over, and he would really get into trouble.

"Sixth uncle, don't believe it, I really wish him a speedy recovery. Lin Xiao can testify to this. Zhang Yi said with a serious face. What he said was true, but there were a few more words to follow in wishing him a speedy recovery.

"Come less. You know Japanese, Lin Xiao and they don't. What you said, only you know. Shao Tycoon glanced at Zhang Yi, and then asked curiously, "What did you say when you called?" ”

"I wish him a speedy recovery!" Zhang Yi said.

"Don't believe it!" Shao Daheng immediately shook his head and said two words.

"I wish him a speedy recovery. Because I plan to open a branch in Japan of the Guoshu Building, as well as technology companies, film and television companies, record companies, etc., I will invite Michael. Jackson as a guest performer. If he doesn't recover soon, how can he participate? Zhang Yi said.

"Poof! Ahem, ahem. When Shao Daheng heard this, he who was drinking tea squirted out a mouthful of water, coughed twice, and then said, "You are calling at the door of someone's house, and you actually pretend to invite people to participate." No wonder he was so angry that he vomited blood. Are you really going to open a branch office in Japan now? ”

"I told him a few years from now!" Zhang Yi said lightly.

"A few years later! You kid" Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi with a smile and a smile, and said, "You wish him a speedy recovery and go to participate in the opening of your branch, which is still a few years later." Didn't you wish him a few years in the hospital in disguise? Looks like he's really by you. ”

"Sixth uncle, don't talk nonsense. I called, and that was half a month ago. This matter rests on my head, and there is no excuse for some sin that I want to add. Zhang Yi hurriedly said.
