Chapter 973: In the Name of the Society
PS: Xie Lu Xie Xiaojushi, Trace Light's reward!
In the world after 1991, the United States was the dominant one.
The collapse of the Soviet Union has wiped out the only superpower that can compete with the United States.
After that, the United States was very arrogant and unstoppable. He acts like a boss to interfere in everything in the world, and he is invincible.
At that time, no one thought that the United States would go downhill. Even if that happens, it will be 180 years.
But in reality, in less than 20 years, with the rise of China's economy, it has been accompanied by a comprehensive decline in the national power of the United States.
The Iraq crisis, the Afghanistan crisis, the Syrian incident, and the Ukraine incident have made it more and more difficult for the United States to deal with it.
And in this context, Japan sees hope of breaking away from the control of the United States.
The pursuit of national normalization, the lifting of the ban on the right to self-defense, and so on, are all manifestations of this series of international events.
And in the economic field, Sony obviously smells something unusual. This made them realize that the time had come to break free from US control.
Therefore, in 2013, Sony Corporation held a general meeting of shareholders to announce a new chairman and board of directors.
It is worth noting that the way forward for the former chairman Stringer is not to step down, but to retire.
Not only Stringer, but several directors ended up leaving Sony completely.
The inside story is worth playing.
In a joint-stock company, the resignation of a chairman does not change his status as a shareholder of the company. He may not be the chairman, but he must still be a director.
But Stringer walked away, without any delay or entanglement.
The chairman of the board of directors can retire because of age and health, but shareholders do not have such a statement.
Obviously, Sony's desire to get rid of US control has become impatient. I don't want this American minion to stay in the company anymore.
It is in this series of evolutions that the Japanese themselves have once again assumed the leadership of Sony, the eighth largest company in Japan.
However, it should be noted that due to the special nature of Japanese companies, the real owner of the company is not the so-called top position holder such as the chairman.
For example, the Ritsumi family, Tachimi Yuo did not hold any positions within the company. However, all the big and small things of Sony need him to look at and make decisions in order to carry out smoothly.
The reason why when Stringer stepped down, the successor was the outsider Toinaga Sanji, not the original bigwigs such as Yuo Tsumi or Kazuo Hirai.
That is also the power of Japan within Sony, which is worried about provoking the United States too much. will be retaliated.
An obscure Nagayama is enough to hide their true purpose.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cui Zhengyuan understood that there was not much time left for him to deal with Sony.
Once the time node came to 2013, let Nagayama once again become the chairman of Sony Corporation.
This formidable opponent will definitely complete the integration with force and become a monolith.
A united Sony, no matter how naturally wise Cui Zhengyuan is, he can't get any cheap.
Of course, it is also unrealistic to find a way not to let Nagayama sit in the position of chairman.
Because he is nothing more than a superficial puppet. It is not important or indispensable.
In other words, even if there is no Nagayama Osamu and another person is the chairman of Sony, it doesn't matter. It still does not affect the integration of these enterprises. It also changed the fate of Sony.
And neither the Konomiya family nor Keiichi Morita can compete with the Tachimi family for a long time.
The strength of these two sides itself has shortcomings that are difficult to make up.
Keiichi Morita has the shadow of his grandfather, but only the shadow.
This world is about strength. In the case of his own lack of strength, he can only be regarded as a-stirring stick, and will not become a person who changes the situation.
Hideki Komiyayama's biggest name is Sony Ericsson. This mobile phone brand is destined to be squeezed out of the market.
Sony Ericsson's withdrawal from the market that year heralded the complete collapse of Hideki Komiyayama.
None of these things can be reversed by manpower, and Cui Zhengyuan doesn't need to pull them along.
What he has to do is to maximize his strength before these two people who can cause trouble for the Tachimi family fail.
Only when his own strength swells to the point where he can compete with Lijian Zhengya, can he be regarded as having no worries.
This imagination seems to take a long time, but in fact, it is as fast as lightning, but it is just a decision made in an instant.
Kim Dali had to take it right away and completely take the Japanese branch into his own hands.
In the matter of the Japanese branch, Cui Zhengyuan made a very serious mistake.
Because he was reborn from China, there is no clear idea of how important the Japanese market is to the Korean entertainment industry.
The problem is that he does not have a good understanding of the importance of the Japanese market.
At a time when all the entertainment people in South Korea are eager to make a big splash in the Japanese market, he is not very motivated.
Even the current WonderGirls debuted in Japan, or a compromise made in order to alleviate the conflict with Sony.
In his traditional understanding, the Chinese market and the European and American markets are the regions where the entertainment industry can make the most achievements.
So since he took the helm of A.P., most of its business and activities have been based on these two regions.
Although the achievements are remarkable, the hard work and cost paid are not ordinary.
In the public's mind, the Korean market is perhaps the most closed. But for Cui Zhengyuan, the Chinese market is not far behind.
The only difference is that the Korean entertainment market is closed, and various regulations are used to prevent foreign entertainment forces from penetrating.
At the same time, Hallyu culture is still desperately trying to get out of the world and become famous in various parts of the world.
As a result, counterparts in other regions do not have much affection for Hallyu culture. Because of the unequal output channels and communication methods, it is difficult to make people satisfied.
But relatively speaking, the Chinese market is much more obscure.
Unless you've been through a lot in this market, you won't feel the resistance.
Most of the time, exclusion in the Chinese market is done through some covert means and various seemingly accidental restrictions.
As a result, many well-known foreign entertainment companies hurriedly came here with interest, intending to expand their territory. Ride on the crest of success.
But as a result, after countless encounters, they finally understood that this was not such a good place, and then went back in disgrace.
This gives the impression that the company itself is not competitive in the Chinese market, so it was eliminated. But no one has ever thought that there is an invisible resistance that restricts the development of foreign cultural industries in this market.
The reason for this is that the country has a very strict control over culture and ideology.
Take A.P Company as an example, everyone knows that this is a very pro-China entertainment company. But after arriving in the Chinese market, the difficulties faced have not diminished much.
It has been in business for so many years. A.P still hasn't fully established itself in China.
In terms of results alone, among all the overseas branches of A.P., the China branch is the least profitable.
Although they have the largest number of artists, it has now reached five. But the value that these five artists can create is not even as good as Miranda in the American branch. Kerr is alone.
As for the Japanese branch, although A.P had not developed much before, the performance was mediocre. But since WonderGirls debuted in Japan, in just five months, it has already turned back 3 billion won in revenue for A.P. Company.
This is in South Korea. If you want to make so much money, even with a national girl group like WonderGirls, it is impossible to do it in half a year.
It may seem that there is not much difference between the two, but consider that WonderGirls has just debuted in Japan. is a complete newcomer, and before he has a stable foothold, he already has such a level.
And in South Korea, they are the national women's group. It has a strong competitiveness in itself.
If you do this calculation, it is enough to understand why the Japanese market has attracted the attention of the Korean entertainment industry so much.
It is precisely because of this that Cui Zhengyuan has been adjusting his direction recently. The company plans to expand its efforts to expand into the Japanese market.
However, there is a problem involved here, that is, as long as Kim Dali is still in his position, the deeper A.P. is involved in Japan, the more it will be influenced by Sony.
From this point of view, taking down Jin Dali has become an urgent task.
"Since he embezzled public funds, he can report the case to the procuratorate and then arrest him." Regarding Cui Zhengyuan's hesitation, Li Xiaocheng seemed inexplicable.
He felt that since the evidence was conclusive, it was not enough to apply for an arrest warrant.
Looking at this goods funny, Cui Zhengyuan was distressed. "Please, it's Japan, do you think South Korean law enforcement officers can arrest people so easily? When the news leaks and Kim Dali absconds, what should I do? ”
Li Xiaocheng's originally smug expression was stunned for a moment, and he realized that he was thinking simply.
He was already working in Japan, and he was even more impressed by the situation there.
"Then it's not casual to call him back to China." With a roll of his eyes, Li Xiaocheng thought of another idea.
Cui Zhengyuan's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and after a deep sigh, he said, "It's certain to be recalled, but you can't call him alone." Otherwise, if you call back a representative who is outside for no reason, a fool will know that there is something strange in it. This time, let's call all the representatives outside, Zhang Jiadu, Li Anhao and others. ”
Li Xiaocheng looked at Cui Zhengyuan with admiration, admiring the standing cautious thinking.
All the representatives of A.P Company came back, which diluted the specificity of the target. No matter how vigilant Rao is Jin Dali is, it is impossible for him to feel that he is going to deal with him.
After all, even Zhang Jiadu, who was thousands of miles away, rushed back, and there was no reason why he didn't come back.
"In the name...... Cui Zhengyuan smiled slightly and said, "Let's just say that we will formulate a development plan for A.P Company in the next few years." For such a meeting, representatives at the ministerial level are bound to return. (To be continued......)
