Chapter 1744: Forced by Circumstances
PS: Thank you sxsd007 for your tip!
The development of events was not unexpected at all, and when the tenants of the building learned that their shops had been burned, they immediately demanded compensation from Sony.
At the same time, the family of the electrician Bai Changzi, who died in the fire, also made an uproar at the scene. The miserable appearance of orphans and widows snatching the sky and the earth is really sad and the listeners cry.
At the same time, Chen Zhongquan, a well-known social activist and professor, wrote an article criticizing Sony's management for acting recklessly and oppressively against South Korean staff, which eventually led to the tragedy.
On the evening of the fire, South Korean President Lee Myung-B urgently met with Japanese Ambassador to South Korea Yuwei Matsui at the Blue House and made a request from the South Korean government over the fire.
The matter is so big, and the process of the disaster is witnessed by the whole world, that it is impossible for the Japanese side to deny it. Matsui was so anxious that he really couldn't come up with a way to deal with it except for promise.
He was angry in South Korea and immediately turned the situation back home.
The Japanese government, which has been strained with South Korea in recent years because of right-wing issues, has become even more angry and angry at Sony's carelessness.
In particular, Kitajima Juya's solicitation of bribes and bullying of his subordinates, after media reports and exaggerations, confirmed the inhumane side of Japanese companies.
Although Sony suffered the most in this fire accident, no one sympathized with them. Even reports in the United States said that Sony was fully responsible for the accident.
While Sony is negotiating compensation with the damaged merchants and the families of electricians, it is under pressure from all sides.
Now their only hope is to find the truck driver who killed Choi Jae-hyuk's family.
If it is proved that Choi Jae-hyuk's family was deliberately exterminated, then Sony can turn over and immediately extricate itself from the whirlpool of public opinion today.
But Cui Zhengyuan has always done things without leakage, how could he be caught?
A week later, the results of the Seoul police investigation came out. Sony's last hope was completely dashed.
According to the observation of the surveillance video of the road section where the incident occurred, and after many identifications, the police finally determined that the truck driver who hit and killed Choi Jaehyuk's family was actually a habitual car thief.
On the morning of the incident, the man stole the unlicensed truck from a suspended construction site. On the way to escape in a panic, he didn't notice Choi Jae-hyuk's car, which was changing lanes indiscriminately.
So, in the clear record of the surveillance video, the car accident happened.
After the incident, the car thief ran out of the truck in a panic. Jumped across the road into the bushes next to it.
At present, the Seoul police have issued a wanted warrant and are making every effort to arrest the fugitive.
As for whether the Seoul police can catch this person, it is up to the opinion of the Dragon King of the East China Sea to be asked.
After the car thief hit and killed someone, he knew that he had caused a big accident and that South Korea would not be able to stay. So he fled to Incheon that morning, contacted a stowaway boat, and tried to escape.
As a result, when the ship sailed to the high seas, the human snake that had seen the eyes of money suddenly turned into impermanence for life. Let him stay at the cold bottom of the sea forever.
The truth of the case was revealed, proving that Choi Jae-hyuk's family was not killed and killed. Instead, he coincidentally encountered a panicked car thief, and coincidentally and coincidentally this car accident occurred at a critical time.
Although many people are skeptical, the course of the case is clear. The clues are well organized, and there are not many places to suspect.
"Did the people send them away?" Cui Zhengyuan was hiding in his home, and there was only Yan Xiaobei in front of him.
In front of him was a newspaper spread out, and the content of it was the media's criticism of Sony. And according to the news from the Japanese side. People from all walks of life over there are also very dissatisfied with Sony's bad deeds, and they have asked the government to investigate Sony's business problems.
So Cui Zhengyuan at this moment is in a particularly good mood. The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned. Obviously, it is a pride that cannot be hidden.
Yan Xiaobei, who was sitting opposite him, had a tense face and couldn't bear it, obviously not very comfortable with doing such a conspiracy for the first time.
When he was a special forces soldier before, he experienced all kinds of dangers and cruel situations. But at that time, it was on the battlefield, either you died or I lived, so I was ruthless and merciless, and there was no psychological burden.
Now it is different, he created a huge disaster for no reason, and led to the tragic death of many innocent people, which obviously impacted his moral bottom line.
However, he still replied to Cui Zhengyuan's question: "Yes, he has already returned to China, and it is estimated that he will stay incognito for a few years, and then come out to do things when things are calm." ”
The electrician named Li Jinhai was actually an agent that Yan Xiaobei had hired from China. The fire was all caused by his hands.
After the matter was over, Yan Xiaobei personally sent him on the boat and asked him to go back to avoid the limelight.
It's just that Yan Xiaobei didn't know that that person would never be able to go back to China.
When he was on the ship, he was shot into a sieve by the Cui family's men disguised as shipwrights, and eventually became fertilizer for creatures in the sea.
How could Cui Zhengyuan allow any flaws to exist, in case this guy misses and pokes out today's matter one day in the future, isn't it causing trouble for him.
It's just that such a rabbit and dog cooking behavior naturally can't let Yan Xiaobei know, but he personally conveyed the order to the Cui family's subordinates.
Although he didn't look up, Cui Zhengyuan still observed Yan Xiaobei's ugly look. So he smiled and said with relief: "Okay, don't be a dead man's face." If there was another way, I wouldn't do it. As you know, our biggest problem at the moment is Sony. Only by killing Sony can the world be peaceful. Otherwise, if we are cobbled together and have enough money to make a comeback, our end may not be much better than others. ”
Seeing that Cui Zhengyuan took the initiative to talk about this matter, Yan Xiaobei still couldn't help but persuade: "Executive, I admit that you are right." But can we use such a damaging trick as little as possible in the future, after all, those people are innocent. ”
Cui Zhengyuan stood up, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "You have been with me for a long time, although I like to use intrigue and trickery. But tell me for yourself, when would I go to such an extreme level. Each of the previous dead people had a way to die. Now, it's because it's a pinch. I saw the signs of the end of Sony and Masaya Tachimi, and I had to add fuel to the fire. Don't worry, I'm not a person with a broken conscience, and I don't have the habit of getting a whole thing done. ”
What he said was sincere, and Yan Xiaobei was naturally the best at distinguishing between truth and falsehood.
After so many years of getting along, this ordinary person, who is sometimes violent and cruel, is actually not bad most of the time.
His intrigues are almost always used against the enemy, and the people around him are wholeheartedly guarding them.
For a person like him, Cui Zhengyuan is indeed a rare master.
Yan Xiaobei did things with a slightly relieved heart, but Cui Zhengyuan leaned on the back of the sofa. Look at the horizon of the burning clouds.
He did not hesitate to attack innocent people, just to drag Tsumi Masaya into an even greater abyss.
Now, he's done with everything he needs to do. The next thing is to see how the old enemy on the other side of the strait can resolve this crisis.
"How? What can I do? Now the Koreans are not giving an inch, and their own people are still making trouble, are they trying to force me to death? In the office of the chairman of Sony, Masaya immediately saw his teeth and claws, and roared like a beast that had fallen into a trap.
It's just that Kazuo Hirai, Hideki Komiyayama, Keiichi Morita and others who were sitting in front of him were unmoved and let his saliva splash.
These are the biggest leaders of Sony. Immediately saw that Masaya was in the same trench as him, and there was only one Kazuo Hirai who could barely be counted.
As for the other Komiyayama Hideki, Morita Keiichi and others, I wish he was completely finished, and it was best to fall into the eighteenth layer of hell. It is better to never be born beyond life.
So when such a big incident happened, Hideki Komiyayama and Keiichi Morita all jumped out and shouted "In order to protect the honor of Sony, we must be responsible for this incident". Increase the influence of yourself and others.
However, Masaya and Kazuo Hirai, who are in charge of the house, have bitter words, and they can't wait to strangle these two opponents who don't care about the situation.
Today, Tsumi Masasa has less than $300 million in liquidity, and it was the last time he sold the Tokyo headquarters building. A little balance after the expenditure.
According to Kazuo Hirai's vision, this money will be invested in the development of PS4 along with the sale of the S building in South Korea.
Whether Sony can get rid of the current business predicament is not enough to rely on elite troops and streamlining administration, but also to have fist products to reoccupy the market.
Nowadays, Sony's products are mainly concentrated in the digital field. For example, cyber-shot digital cameras, mirrorless TM digital cameras, E-mount lenses, A digital single-camera cameras, A-mount lenses, Handycam digital camcorders, Xperia smartphones, Xperia Tablet tablets, and PS series game consoles, etc.
Other entertainment industry sectors have been losing money year after year, which has become a burden affecting the operation of enterprises.
It's a pity that the entertainment industry that was acquired with great fanfare before is not easy to get rid of now.
As for the TV business, which is in the process of integration, if it wants to generate benefits, it will not be possible in three or five years.
If you want to maintain the normal operation of the enterprise during this time, you must come up with one or two excellent products to earn real money for Sony.
In the field of digital products, Sony's advantage is not very large. And taking advantage of Sony's business difficulties in the past two years, Canon and Nikon have all aggressively squeezed out the market that originally belonged to Sony.
And because of the complexity of the business, Sony is far less specialized in digital products than Canon and Nikon.
Among the choices of mass consumers, Canon and Nikon are also superior to Sony. In addition, digital cameras and camcorders are not essential products for ordinary consumers, so the market is special.
It's not very realistic to rely on these products to generate a lot of profits and help businesses tide over the storm.
Therefore, in the strategy formulated by Masaa Tatsumi and Kazuo Hirai, the key product to help Sony continue is the PS series of game consoles, which have a large number of fans around the world.
It's a pity that it was originally planned, but now the fire in the S building has caused the funds that were not very sufficient for PS4 research and development to be used in other areas. (To be continued......)
