PS: Thank you sxsd007, MichaelYM, and the dark jockey for the tip!

To be sure, Masa Rimi didn't want to sell his music business.

Because compared with the film industry, Sony Music has an extremely strong vitality and outstanding hematopoietic ability.

Because Sony Music has an unparalleled influence in the music circle of the whole world.

Even in Europe and the United States, the mainstream market of pop music, it also has Michael under its banner. Jackson, Avril, Alicia. Case, Aunt Susan, Celine. Dion, Britney and other influential superstars.

In addition, Sony Music is a well-deserved leader in Asia. From Japan to China, from Korea to Southeast Asia, all of them have their own artistic activities.

Every year, Sony Music alone brings back more than $3 billion in profits to Sony.

Although these profits are a drop in the bucket relative to the group as a whole. But now there are really not many profitable divisions under Sony, and there is one less to sell one.

But Masamasa Tatsumi had to sell it because he knew that no one would be interested in Sony movies without packaging Sony music together.

In September 1989, Columbia, one of the eight major Hollywood studios, was acquired by Sony for a sky-high price of six billion US dollars.

From this time on, Sony officially entered the film industry.

Although at the beginning, as an outsider to Hollywood, Sony was completely unaccustomed to the soil and suffered huge losses.

But by 1997, Howard. After Stringer took office and carried out a series of drastic reforms, Sony Films began to gradually make profits.

The illusion of Colombia's resurrection has blinded Sony. So much so that the later decision-makers, namely Yuo Tsukio, ignored Akio Morita's warning before his death, and insisted on acquiring MGM Pictures, another of the eight major Hollywood film companies.

Since this time, the decline of Sony movies has been like a roller coaster. No matter how hard you hit the brakes, you can't stop.

Because of the big business and the difficulty of turning around, when the new film technology was booming, Sony Pictures simply could not keep up with the pace of the times and gradually lagged behind the new industrial environment.

And what made Sony vomit blood the most was that because of the protection of American labor law, they couldn't even file for bankruptcy protection for MGM.

The U.S. Supreme Court has warned that if Sony forcibly bankrupts MGM, it will sanction the entire Sony industry.

The United States is Sony's largest international market, and its share even exceeds that of Japan. Facing the repression of the U.S. government. Sony had no choice but to spend a lot of money on subsidies to enter the bottomless hole of Sony Films.

Now, in the face of the recovery of the cooperative manufacturers, Lijian Zhengya has no choice but to sell its industry and take cash to maintain the current predicament.

And in order to be able to sell Sony movies smoothly, he had to catch up with Sony Music, which has good benefits.

The news of Sony's sale of its properties has not yet been opened to the public, so the outside world is relatively calm. But within the business sector. The people who should get the news already know everything.

It's just that the situation that Zhengya expected from the outside world to be turbulent and buyers from all walks of life flocking to it did not appear.

There was an eerie calm in the entire market. The silence makes people feel oppressed.

After a brief period of stunnedness, Masaya was filled with endless anger.

He understood that the reason why the business world was so calm was not that those greedy capitals were not interested in Sony's industry. Rather, it is forcing him to sell at a lower price.

The estimated market value of a Sony movie alone is around $25 billion. Add to that Sony Music, and there are no five tens of billions of dollars. I want to eat it.

Nowadays, the entire international economic environment is not good, and all businesses are making careful calculations, who is willing to spend so much money to acquire industries with unknown futures.

Although the international market is large, there are only a handful of companies that have the strength to acquire Sony's two major industries. So even though there was no communication between these potential buyers, everyone tacitly took the approach of waiting at this moment.

They are all waiting for Masaya Tachimi to vomit blood and sell it, and then pick up the price of cabbage.

Tsumi Masaya understood the vicious thoughts of these people, and almost fainted out of anger when they fell into the well.

But what made Masaya Tachimi resentful the most was that he didn't have time to wait. The deadline given by the three-board wood company is only one week, otherwise it will have to go to court.

Coincidentally, after the three-board wood company, other upstream suppliers of Sony have also come to the door.

They will either demand that Sony return the arrears or that Sony sign a guarantee contract, or that they will immediately stop supplying Sony.

Looking at these upstream suppliers one by one, it seems to be very inconspicuous, but together, the impact is great.

Without their cooperation, Sony would have ceased to function. And these suppliers are involved in a wide range of products, from plastic products to electronic components, as well as special glass, non-ferrous metals, etc.

Sony's industries are involved, from electronics to medical equipment, from finance and insurance to logistics dredging, all fields have not been spared.

It seems that in the business world, the situation that the Sony Building will collapse has spread. Everyone felt that Sony was unable to make ends meet and was not far from bankruptcy.

That's why I will hurry up the time to ask for my arrears, for fear that Sony will be finished, and everyone's hard-earned money will be wasted.

At the same time, the contradictions within Sony finally broke out in full force.

Hiroshi Yoshioka, Yoshihisa Ishida, Kunimasa Suzuki, and Kazuo Hirai were all extremely dissatisfied with Masaya Rikami's decision.

At the company's policy discussion, the Four Musketeers stood on the united front for the first time in their lives, and put forward harsh criticism of the practice of opposing righteousness and elegance.

"Chairman, what exactly has the financial sector been doing lately? As the CEO of the company, I don't even have the power to intervene in the financial sector? Kazuo Hirai changed his previous elegance and asked aggressively.

Kazuo Hirai was able to take the position of CEO of Sony, which was completely the result of his admiration for him.

When he was in charge of Sony's PS series products, Kazuo Hirai made dazzling achievements and made PS game products a star brand under Sony in one fell swoop.

Not only did the sales continue to exceed 10 million, but also beat Sega and Nintendo one after another, making Sony games dominant in the market for a day.

In view of his outstanding performance, Yuo Takami promoted him exceptionally, and gradually grew into the head of Sony.

When Kazuo Hirai took office, he had great ambitions.

In his opinion, a company as big as Sony, involving so many fields, is almost like an unsinkable aircraft carrier.

As long as the whole company works together as one, it is not difficult to turn around the current unfavorable situation.

However, Kazuo Hirai soon knew that he was thinking too well, and the entire Sony company was not Sony Games, and there was no business department as simple as that.

Because of historical reasons, Sony's internal factions have constrained each other, and the situation of fighting for power has completely suppressed the possibility of mutual unity.

Especially after Tsumi Masaya ascended to the throne, the lord and the ministers were strong, and there were many princes, which made Sony's situation even more chaotic.

Kazuo Hirai is trying to convince all parties to give up their own interests and jointly protect the overall situation of the company.

But what he didn't expect was that he was working hard to eliminate the contradiction in front, but his boss was constantly creating confrontation.

So much so that everything he did eventually became useless, and he watched the company fall apart and crack everywhere.

In the bottom of Kazuo Hirai's heart, there is always a question. But he didn't dare to mention it to anyone, not even his wife, and he didn't divulge a word.

He vaguely remembered that the day before the death of Chairman Yuo Izami, he had also visited him.

At that time, the two had a good conversation and exchanged a lot of views. And he has a positive and supportive attitude towards many of his strategies.

This made Kazuo Hirai excited, and he was already expecting Sony to revive the prestige of Japan's largest electronics company in his hands.

Until now, he still remembers that when he talked to Tachimi Yuo at that time, this old man was in good spirits and in good health, and he didn't look like a candle at all.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, he heard the news of his sudden death.

What made him most suspicious was that Michio Kobayashi, the inseparable housekeeper, did not appear at the funeral. And since then, there has been no news of this person.

Everything indicates that the sudden death of Yuxiong Immediately does not seem to be so simple.

But Kazuo Hirai couldn't guess the mystery behind this, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. But I don't know why, every time he faces Tsumi Masaya, he can vaguely feel a chill to his bones.

Overall, Kazuo Hirai is still a person who can endure humiliation, and he also regards the revitalization of Sony as his lifelong mission.

But all of this, today, has come to nothing.

The company was planning to sell two of its important properties, and he, the CEO, got the news later than anyone from the outside. Coupled with the abnormality of the financial sector, the dissatisfaction that he had accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded.

It's not appropriate for such a columsy CEO.

The young chairman is stubborn, stupid and incompetent, and ignores his own efforts, ignores his own opinions, and insists on going his own way.

Under such circumstances, he fully realized that the end was near.

Heaven is about to die, how can human power reverse it?

Everyone didn't expect that the first person to fire at Masaya was Kazuo Hirai, who was regarded as his right and left hand.

But in any case, this indicates one point, that is, how unpopular Lijian Zhengya's actions are, and even his iron rods are clearly against him.

Hiroshi Yoshioka, Yoshihisa Ishida, and Kunimasa Suzuki, who were encouraged, rushed up and denounced what Masaya Tachimi had done. (To be continued......)
