Originally, the outside world was only suspicious of Sony's imminent bankruptcy, but after the news of the sale of the headquarters building came out, it was immediately equivalent to confirming this.

This is a hornet's nest, and Sony's original fineness has become something.

The magnitude of the plunge in Sony's stock price makes people who don't understand the stock market feel shocked when they see it. Even with the collapse of Sony's stock price, it has begun to have an impact on the entire stock market.

In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis, financial markets in Western countries were already particularly fragile. Now that Sony has come out like this, many people think that it may be a precursor to another economic crisis.

Not only have governments of various countries stepped forward to take measures to stabilize the financial market, but even Japan's major chaebols have begun to exert pressure on Sony.

According to the Sumitomo Foundation, if Sony really can't stabilize the situation, then several major consortia such as Sumitomo and Mitsubishi will unite and completely let Sony strike out.

Under pressure, the first thing that came to mind was to stop selling the U.S. headquarters building and refute the rumors.

But his idea was firmly opposed by Kazuo Hirai.

Kazuo Hirai took out the will to break the net, and said that if the plan to sell the headquarters building was canceled, then he would resign from the position of CEO.

Kazuo Hirai's fierce actions can scare Masaya Tachimi a lot.

The last CEO who lived in a dream was criticized by both inside and outside the industry and was forced to resign. Kazuo Hirai took office under tremendous pressure, and if he resigned at this time, the impact would be much greater than the sale of the headquarters building.

After all, the sale of the headquarters building can also be said to reorganize the industrial structure and optimize the capital chain, which can be regarded as a normal enterprise rectification plan.

If the CEO resigns, it will really be equivalent to showing the outside world that Sony is really not good.

I didn't see that even the CEO in charge of the company has resigned, which shows that people themselves are not optimistic about their future.

If this happens, it will be tantamount to a complete death sentence for Sony.

Critical moments. Masaya Tatsumi finally made a decisive move.

Under tremendous pressure from inside and outside, he stood firmly by the side of Kazuo Hirai and insisted on selling the US headquarters building.

Kazuo Hirai is actually a very thoughtful CEO, and his insistence on selling the U.S. headquarters building is to provide the necessary financial support for subsequent improvement plans.

In Hirai's view, the reason why Sony has come to such a grim situation today is all because of the rapid expansion and the bloated reason of the company itself.

When the industrial structure has not been perfected, it blindly expands the fields and projects it operates, and makes investments everywhere. In the end, Sony's funds were broken, and as a result, they couldn't take care of each other.

So if you want Sony to get out of the predicament, it is inevitable to abandon some unnecessary business.

As long as the fundamental and core mobile device, digital imaging and gaming businesses are retained, then Sony will have a chance to make a comeback.

Kazuo Hirai, who joined Sony, came with great ambitions. He was bent on becoming Akio Morita second and becoming a miracle in the headwinds of the Japanese economy.

However, insisting on selling the headquarters building, the pressure on Zhengya can be imagined. Therefore, in his instructions to Kazuo Hirai, he made it clear that this matter must be done quickly.

That means that even if the price doesn't meet expectations. It is also necessary to get it done in the fastest possible time, before the outside world reacts.

As long as the building is sold, the pressure given by others cannot be called pressure.

At that time, Sony has enough funds to make big moves in other fields. Fight back today's disadvantage.

His idea coincided with Kazuo Hirai, so in the midst of the turmoil, the sale plan of Sony's headquarters building has quietly begun.

It's just that Masaya and Kazuo Hirai don't know what is. Cui Zhengyuan has been waiting for a long time.

At this time, Yu Xiaoguang, who was far away in China's magic capital, was receiving the teachings and guidance of his father Yu Dajiao.

Yu Da Guy was fishing by the railing, and at the same time pointed out the country. "This kid from the Cui family. The eye is very vicious and precise. He saw the weakness of Sony, so he had to be unforgiving. This time, he's pushing Sony to death. Even if Sony does break free, it will only be a long way to go. ”

Yu Xiaoguang is more familiar with Cui Zhengyuan, but he doesn't believe it, definitely Cui Zhengyuan is not as powerful as his father said. "How old is he, even if he controls the company, he only uses the family's energy."

Big Brother Yu sneered, shook his head and said, "You, you, you, always have your eyes above the top." If you are replaced in the environment of the Cui family's boy, you will definitely not be as good as others. ”

Speaking of this, he said unsatisfactorily: "It's hard to be a kid of the Cui family, and it is also his limit to be able to toss the current situation." ”

Yu Xiaoguang became interested and got closer. "Dad, then you have to talk about it. Why is it not easy for Cui Zhengyuan, that guy? His family is so powerful, he is one of the best families in South Korea. He has a lot of money in his hands, isn't it right to have his current achievements? ”

Big Brother Yu snorted, and hated this son a little. "So what, no matter how rich he is, no matter how powerful the Cui family is, it is only in South Korea. Internationally, what energy does South Korea have? Haven't you seen that all his arrangements for Sony over the years are all about taking risks and taking risks? ”

At this point, he finally spoke a little more seriously. "Because of his own lack of strength, he can't beat Sony and Masamasa Tachimi in a dignified manner. Under such circumstances, he had to use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to lead Takami Masaya into the trap step by step. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have the ability to beat Sony at all. But after all, there are not many fools in this world, and without absolute strength, there is no way to win by intrigue alone. Therefore, the Cui family kid has been using means to weaken Sony's strength over the years, and at the same time, he has been continuously enhancing his own strength, and he has also attracted so many allies. This is because he knows very well that what can win or lose in the end is definitely not wisdom, but strength. This kid is completely a Su Qin-style character. ”

Yu Xiaoguang was born in a family, of course, not a straw bag.

As soon as his father said that, he reacted. "Daddy, what do you mean. He, Cui Zhengyuan, regarded Sony as the Qin State, and regarded himself and us as the Six Kingdoms. What he's playing with is a conspiracy! ”

Big Guy Yu looked teachable, "What do you think?" Otherwise, what did he take to fight with Tachimi Masaya for so long, and gradually saw the dawn of victory? ”

Yu Xiaoguang thought that he had seen through the true meaning, and said: "If the Japanese wake up, a character like Zhang Yi will appear, and he will play a trick." Wouldn't that be able to disrupt Choi Jung-won's plan entirely? ”

Big Yu's face became annoyed again. "I said that you don't learn and don't know how to learn, but you still won't admit it."

After scolding his son, he continued: "It doesn't matter if it's vertical, it's okay to be horizontal. It was all in accordance with the historical circumstances of the time, and it was not possible to copy it rigidly. Besides, the Japanese have an extreme and conceited personality, and they don't realize that they have done the Qin State at all. Again, where the situation in charge of the world is there, who can the Japanese say who will fight it? The Cui family kid has seen the international shape very thoroughly, so he has slowly come to this day. If he was a Chinese, then he would definitely not play such a thrilling game, and he would have long relied on his strength to consume and see the righteousness. ”

Yu Xiaoguang finally asked the purpose of the trip. "What about the United States. Do we help or not? ”

Big Yu's eyes were quietly against the quiet lake, but his words carried the harshness of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. "Why don't you help? Now the Koreans are our friends, and the Japanese will never be. Help our friends. Weaken our enemies, why not do such a thing? Besides, those things that see money can't wait for a long time, right? ”

After getting the highest instructions, Yu Xiaoguang can finally show his strength.

Kazuo Hirai moves quickly. After a rigorous and meticulous selection process, Sony Corporation finally selected Chetrit Group as the target for sale.

There are several good reasons to choose this real estate company.

First of all, this company is one of the more powerful real estate companies on the East Coast of the United States. Ability to eat such an asset as the headquarters building.

However, the strength of this company is not as big as the unparalleled Cheng Dù, that is, even if they can eat the headquarters building, the financial pressure is not small.

The reason why Kazuo Hirai chose such a real estate company is that he has plans in it.

Although Sony is preparing to sell its headquarters building, several of Sony's main divisions that were originally stationed here do not need to be moved.

This involves another part of the transaction, and it is also a complacent stroke of Kazuo Hirai.

He envisioned the sale of the headquarters building to the Chetritgroup company at a suitable price. But Sony will continue to use the company on a leased basis.

In other words, if the building was sold for $1.1 billion, ChetritGroup would not have to pay that much.

They could have paid only after deducting the proceeds from Sony's three-year lease, and that would have been much less financially stressed.

Sony not only sold the building in exchange for a significant amount of liquidity, but was also able to continue to use the building as an office space.

It can be said that Kazuo Hirai's plan is not imperfect. Of course, that was when no one calculated.

Because of the form, Kazuo Hirai was asked to sell the building as quickly as possible.

This leads to not taking the initiative in negotiations with Chetritgroup.

After only three days of confrontation, Sony was forced to surrender and promised the other side to buy the headquarters building for $930 million.

And this is more than 100 million less than the expected $1.1 billion.

Originally, Kazuo Hirai thought that Chetrit Group would not be able to come up with such a large amount of money at one time, and also introduced the full loan of $925 million provided by Real Estate Investment Trust SLGreenRealty to Chetrit Group for a maximum term of three years.

On the condition that Chetrit Group agree to Sony's request for a continued lease.

Kazuo Hirai also said that if ChetritGroup promises to use Sony for more years, then the specific amount can be floated higher.

In his vision, such favorable terms would definitely make ChetritGroup excited, and the completion of the transaction was just around the corner.

At that time, the whole Sony company will be amazed by his perfect operation, and it will also be able to unite the hearts of the company's current scattered people.

With this in mind, Kazuo Hirai waited until the day of the signing ceremony of the sale agreement.

On this day, Kazuo Hirai was particularly happy and made an exception to invite several good media to accompany him. is ready for them to witness that Sony has begun to burst out of life under his leadership.

On the other hand, the original arrangement has long been prepared.

I believe that after the arrival of Kazuo Hirai, he will definitely get a huge surprise. (To be continued......)
