0488 Invitation from Sony CEO
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Kaori Hayakawa asked: "We, SoftBank Group, are shareholders of Baidu and goog1e, and the number of JΓ center projects that Baidu and goog1e started this year is not a big problem for Chenxing Group, but it seems to be a scorching project for the group whose investment business has shrunk sharply and needs to recover cash flow!" Song Chen's plan to throw out the number of points at such a critical time is suspected of diluting the equity of shareholders! β
Son Zhengyi waved his hand and said: "Song Chen's organs are as good as they can be, although I don't want to follow the other party's baton, but it doesn't seem to be a good way now, so SoftBank Group is also going to make additional investments no matter what, C's results in Baidu and Goog1E are very good, and the status of Chenxing Group has also begun to be highlighted, so it is not difficult to lobby the board members!" In fact, the board of directors has already agreed with my resolution on additional investments in Baidu and goog1e! β
Kaori Hayakawa nodded in relief.
Son Masayoshi looked at his Hayakawa Kaori, and suddenly said, "Kaori, what do you think of Song Chen's capital operation this year?"
"Not very clear!" Kaori Hayakawa frowned slightly, and pondered, "If the acquisition of 163 exposes the long-planned ambition of Chenxing Group for the portal, and the annexation of Zappos and the acquisition of Zhongguancun Online are the integration of vertical e-commerce, then the strategic intention of investing in Huayi Brothers, Guangguang Media, and acquiring Banyan is a little vague!" I don't think Song Chen spent so much money to get more opportunities to get close to celebrities, from the perspective of business relevance, it seems to be making a long-term plan in the entertainment industry! β
Speaking of which. Kaori Hayakawa said with emotion: "I didn't believe that a person's vision could see so far before, but now it seems. He did have the foresight to see through time! This year, both China's Chenxing Group and the American Chenxing Group's marketing budgets are very sufficient, and it seems that he intends to drag his competitors into the 'arms race'! Last year, eBay ignited the war to China, and although Song Chen is a gentle person, I am afraid that he will not let go of this competitor so lightly! β
Son raised his eyebrows, thoughtful.
β¦β¦
Kaori Hayakawa is right, after the annexation of Zappos, Sun Zhengyang appointed Xie Jiahua as the senior vice president of Chenxing Network USA, replacing him in charge of the online retail business of footwear!
After handing over the main characters of the 8848 international station. Sun Zhengyang has not become idle, but has become busier, at this time he has a large number of affairs to complete, one of which is to take advantage of the sharp contraction of the European and American capital markets, looking for vertical e-commerce websites that are on the verge of falling into a desperate situation, and to incorporate their business at a low price to achieve the purpose of rapid expansion of varieties, such as home textiles, clothing, bags and other vertical e-commerce ......
Wang Juntao prepared an acquisition budget of $2ooo-3ooo for Sun Zhengyang. Although it is not much, the good thing is that the acquisition target is not a giant such as Amazon, which is enough to achieve the goal.
The second is to prepare for the construction of a storage center. The United States is not as large as China, it is impossible to acquire land from the government on a large scale, and the construction of warehousing operation centers will generate local sales taxes, so it is necessary to carefully avoid the large American states where consumption is active!
The 8848 European office, which was established last year, has the same mandate. And at this time. In order to reduce operating costs, Amazon has stopped its business expansion in Europe and the construction of several storage centers, and closed the storage centers in the United States that were already operating last year!
Now is the period when Amazon is at its weakest!
Take advantage of people's illness to kill people! Wang Juntao after obtaining Song Chen's consent. It has been decided to launch business planning in Europe, recruitment of executives, equipment configuration, technology licensing and software internationalization, among others.
This move undoubtedly deeply irritates Amazon, which is being criticized by Wall Street! Although not optimistic, Song Chen's instructions made Sun Zhengyang have to prepare for direct competition with Amazon. In other words, it is an online retail business that purchases standard products "books" on a large scale.
The third is the procurement of IT products at the same time as the headquarters, which is negotiated by the headquarters and the supplier to obtain a better bargaining advantage, but there will be different procurement budgets in China and the United States.
Fourth, as Kaori Hayakawa learned, Alibaba Group intends to retaliate against eBay for its fingers in China. However, contrary to the news she learned, Alibaba Group is reluctant to get involved in the C2C business lightly, but is ready to launch a platform strategy after Amazon and invite other brands to settle in 8848.
Coupled with the marketing plan of 8848, it is destined that 8848's task this year is very heavy, and there are too many things to be busy!
β¦β¦
Gu Mingbo is also very busy! After two months of negotiations, he finally finished the negotiations with Kodak!
Kodak divested digital camera patents, research talents, and brand assets for digital imaging to form Kodak Digital, and received capital injection from Phoenix Capital, a tax haven registered in a tax haven, which invested $235 million to hold an equity interest in the new company51, and gained control of the company's finances, and ceded the right to operate to Kodak.
In the memorandum, Kodak Digital licenses existing and future patents to Phoenix Capital with limited rights! At the same time, considering that the inertial thinking of the film industry may cause a strict deviation in the strategic direction of the new company, at the request of Gu Mingbo, Deng Kaida agreed to give up the marketing officer Zack? Helms serves as the new company NetBSP; In addition, the memorandum also states that once Kodak or Phoenix Capital decides to sell Kodak Digital shares to a third party, they must seek the consent of the other party and have the right of first refusal for each other!
Investors who were affected by the Nasdaq tech stock crash welcomed Kodak's acceptance of the untold Phoenix Capital injection because Eastman Kodak's asset burden was so heavy that it would be a very low-cost transformation opportunity for Eastman Kodak to start a digital business without a penny of money and obtain operating rights.
Of course, the board of directors was not without criticism of Kodak's relinquishment of control, but given Kodak's huge debt, they could only pinch their noses and vote in favor.
After the agreement is reached. Zhao Yinzhuo, who participated in the negotiations, became a director and financial officer of Kodak Digital.
Completed the formation of Kodak Digital Inc., just after Gu Mingbo and legal counsel William? Cannes prepares to fly back to Hong Kong to resume his life. At the Hong Kong headquarters, the initiative of two strangers to visit Yu Wenjie, general manager of Hong Kong Chenxing Holdings, was greatly surprised.
"Gao Zhiming?"
β¦β¦
Of course, Song Chen didn't know at this time that the infamous "patent cockroach" was seeking financing, and he took Zhao Lin's hand and strolled through the streets of Tokyo.
In this densely populated metropolis, it is full of pedestrians and is very lively.
Lit up with wine and neon, Tokyo looks like thousands of shining stars at night, and the rows of buildings become particularly beautiful at night. Orange street lamps and neon lights complement each other to form a natural borderline, and Mercedes-Benz cars dot the roads in all directions, creating a charming night in this cosmopolitan city.
This is Zhao Lin's second trip abroad, and she is following a man who is about to become the other half of her life, so her heart has both the excitement of strolling in a foreign country and the shyness of hugging her lover hand in hand.
Tonight, she wore a bandeau dress. Petite and exquisite, with a well-proportioned figure and beautiful legs, with a young lover with a moderate height and a delicate face, no matter how you look at it, they are a well-matched couple.
Because of Zhao Lin's strong request, Zeng Qian and Fan Xue did not follow him tonight, and Song Chen also considered that his English could cope with some communication problems, so he agreed.
But. This is Tokyo after all, and Song Chen has not forgotten that he once offended Ryuji Abe in Seattle, USA, and made him a cuckold, so it is naturally indispensable to follow the second general Hum Ha in a hurry.
Every place you go, no matter if it's good or not. It became a habit for Song Chen to taste local food, and Japanese cuisine is known for its sophistication. Even if it is a flavor snack, it can be made so delicate that people want to taste it**, if you encounter the micro-collection of later generations, it is estimated that you will have to taste it once and shoot it once and then make a V pose to play a selfie.
Udon, sushi, eel, tempura, Kobe beef, tonkatsu, ...... In the old dark alley shop in Amiyokocho, Song Chen and Zhao Lin, who have the potential to be foodies, tasted everything again, and when they were eating happily, Zeng Qian called over on the phone.
"Ah Chen, where are you?"
"Amiyokocho, what's wrong?"
Zhao Lin took a napkin with a faint fragrance to wipe the sauce off the corner of his lips, this rare and gentle gesture made Song Chen grab the back of her wrist and knead it gently, getting Zhao Lin's eyes that seemed to be ashamed and happy.
"The SoftBank Group sent an invitation to Nobuyuki Idei's private dinner!"
Song Chen asked casually, "When?"
"Someone from the SoftBank Group is waiting for you in the hotel lobby!"
"Huh?" Song Chen picked up his phone and looked at the screen, it was now a little past 7 o'clock, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Now?"
"Eight o'clock!"
Nobuyuki Idei, Chairman of the Sony Group and President......
Song Chen didn't groan for too long, and said into the microphone: "I'll go back immediately!"
Wait for Song Chen to put it down and say, "What's the matter?"
Song Chen said with a smile: "I originally planned to find a chance to meet each other after going to the United States, but the opportunity was sent to the door, just so that we could go to a high-end atmosphere and high-grade place to continue to eat!"
Gently twisting Song Chen's arm, Zhao Lin laughed coquettishly: "People are full!"
"Eat more, or you'll be hungry tonight!" Song Chen smiled ambiguously.
"Why?" Zhao Lin asked curiously.
Song Chen gently threw out a sentence in her ruddy ear, and as a result, Zhao Lin's pretty face turned red and dripping blood, and she raised her pink fist and beat Song Chen's chest. Seeing Zhao Lin's rare little daughter under Zhao Lin's usual fierce face, Song Chen laughed.
β¦β¦
Song Chen has his own business suits, but his female companion Zhao Lin does not have suitable clothes, and Zeng Qian and Fan Xue's clothes Zhao Lin are not suitable. There was too much time, Song Chen could only take Zhao Lin to Ginza Mall to buy a set of black backless evening dresses, and touched up a little makeup in the car.
Nobuyuki Idei's private dinner was held in Tokyo's famous luxury villa district, and there are hundreds of square meters of private lawn in the area of Tokyo, where land is scarce, and Nobuyuki Idei's wealth can be seen. The guests he invited were all well-known entrepreneurs in the Japanese industry, and it was for this reason. Song Chen was inexplicably surprised by Son's peer invitation.
This time Son also brought his wife Yumi Ohno, a traditional Japanese woman. This was the first time Song Chen had met Son's wife.
"Good evening, Mrs. Sun!"
"Good evening, this is the first time we've met, and my husband often mentions you!" Ohno smiled softly.
"Thank you!"
As if knowing Song Chen's confusion, Son Masayoshi explained after seeing Song Chen: "Nobuyuki Idei has a wide range of friends, whether it is European and American executives, Asian elites, or young juniors, he is willing to make friends!" The main thing, of course, is that he's interested in you as a person. So let me invite you over to the feast! β
Obviously, the influence of entrepreneurs cannot be measured simply by the amount of capital they hold! Although Song Chen's popularity in the world is also hot, the profit base of Chenxing Group is too weak, and although he is full of reputation, he still lacks enough convincing.
What's more, Song Chen knew that his ability came from the "rebirth dividend" being used to the extreme, rather than really having the foresight to understand the world, so he always respected those who had been famous for a long time with a humble attitude. Son is so, Jeff? Bezos is like this, and Nobuyuki Idei will certainly not be an exception!
There were a lot of bodyguards wearing formal clothes around the villa, Song Chen asked the second general to stay outside and wait, and then took Zhao Lin's slender waist and followed Sun Zhengyi and his wife into the villa full of strong Oriental style.
At this time, it was already 8:1o, and the dinner party had begun. Accompanied by a large orchestra, well-dressed gentlemen danced with their female companions on the hundreds of square meters of lawn, surrounded by long tables in the shape of a figure, filled with a variety of fruits and delicate Japanese meals.
Looking at the crowd next to the dance floor, Son Masayoshi turned back to Song Chen and said, "Before President Idei arrives, I need to say hello to a few friends." Song Jun, please feel free! β
"I will!" Song Chen nodded. After seeing the Son and his wife leave. He looked around and was surprised to see a lot of "acquaintances" - these "old acquaintances" were Akio Matsushita, Ryuji Abe, Kaori Hayakawa, who had a very unpleasant quarrel with Song Chen last time, and the stunning female companion who used to dance with Lee Jae-ho!
Song Chen thought she was Lee Jae-young's girlfriend or fiancΓ©e last time, but after meeting Lin Shiling in Seoul, he realized that this woman might just be Lee Jae-leisure's temporary dance partner! These "acquaintances" stood on the edge of the dance floor, as if they had seen themselves coming, their eyes rather gloomy.
Only that stunning woman looked at Song Chen's eyes with curiosity! At the beginning, because of his uneasy mood, Song Chen didn't ask Kaori Hayakawa about the identity of this woman, but now judging from her intimate posture with Matsushita Akio, she seems to be Matsushita Akio's girlfriend or wife!
Seeing Song Chen staring at other women with "lustful eyes", Zhao Lin was very angry, and her slender jade hand blocked Song Chen's eyes, and she said angrily and slightly: "You are not allowed to look at other women indiscriminately!"
"I'm just looking at it with an appreciative attitude, not 'looking at it randomly'!" Song Chen sneered, "Just like a work of art, so are you, Linlin, but you are unique!" β
Zhao Lin glanced at Song Chen, and snorted lightly: "I see that my sister is right, I must keep an eye on you all the time, so that you will not be like a stallion everywhere!"
Stallion? Two black lines flashed in Song Chen's mind: "I'm a stallion, you're a mare!"
"You're the horse, your whole family is a horse!" Zhao Lin grimaced at Song Chen.
Song Chen was dumbfounded by Zhao Lin's words, and just when the two of them were arguing like happy enemies, Kaori Hayakawa saw Song Chen follow Sun Masayoshi into the dinner hall, ignoring Abe Ryuji's unhappy face, and greeted him with a test tube cup full of wine: "Why are you here?"
Song Chen shrugged and said, "Although it was an accident, we were also invited!"
Looking past Kaori Hayakawa's bare shoulders to look at Ryuji Abe, Song Chen smiled evilly: "Your husband is so angry that his face is green!" However, this suits him well, he will be cuckolded a long time ago anyway! β
If it had been a year ago, Kaori Hayakawa's derailment would have had a great moral burden, but after Ryuji Abe's private life was completely eroded, she was no longer willing to bear any guilt for her cheating. Therefore, in the face of Song Chen's explicit words, Hayakawa Kaori's charming pretty face turned crimson, and she just said coquettishly: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense, otherwise it will ......"
Faced with the stunning stunner Bo Angry and slightly angry, Song Chen expressed his apologies very graciously: "It's me who lost my word!"
"Count you as acquaintances!"
In front of herself, her lover actually flirted with the "fox spirit", Zhao Lin's lungs were about to explode, she dragged Song Chen's hand and said angrily: "I want to dance!"
"This vinegar jar!"
Song Chen shook his head helplessly and smiled, threw an apologetic look at Kaori Hayakawa, and after the other party's considerate smile, he took Zhao Lin's hand and walked onto the dance floor, dancing with the gentle and elegant violin and sonata.
The upper-class social life in the United States made Song Chen's dance steps and sense of rhythm more proficient, and with Zhao Lin's graceful and elegant dancing, the person who secretly observed this "new and rich" also had a touch of recognition.
"This little guy is younger than I thought!" Masayoshi Son, who was talking to the president of Nippon Telecom, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, and he could hear the other party's thoughtfulness.
Turning his head, Son Masayoshi was slightly stunned, and then said respectfully: "President Okamura is also interested in this person?"
Okamura Masa, who had just taken over the Toshiba seat executive from Taizo Nishimuro, smiled slightly, picked up the test tube cup and took a sip gently: "Of course! Chairman Sun's generosity has produced an amazing figure for China! β
