Chapter 1362: Treat to dinner
Just when everyone thought that Boss Jia would fly to the United States to find a way to win the lawsuit, Boss Jia was not in the United States, but quietly appeared in Tokyo.
When Nobuyuki Idei received an invitation from Boss Jia to eat at Boss Jia's house, Nobuyuki Idei's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
However, this was an invitation from the chairman of Daqian Group, and Nobuyuki Idei was really embarrassed to refuse.
So, on the same night, Nobuyuki Idei and his wife appeared at the gate of Boss Jia's manor.
In fact, the homes of the two people are very close, they are all in one area, only two streets apart, and Nobuyuki Idei even passes by the gate of this manor every day when he goes to work, but he never knew that this manor is Jia Yapeng's home in Fusang.
When Nobuyuki Idei arrived at the door, there was already a beautiful maid waiting at the door, leading Nobuyuki Idei all the way into the manor, and finally Boss Jia was in the living room, greeting us with a smile on his face.
Looking at Boss Jia, Nobu Izui was still very emotional.
After all, a few years ago, Nobuyuki Idei and Boss Jia were like fire and water, and both sides were about to hit the dog's brain.
And now, he actually appeared at Boss Jia's house to participate in the dinner he invited, which was something that Nobuyuki Idei couldn't have imagined a few years ago.
Of course, a few years ago, Daqian was still a company with a market value of no more than 2 billion US dollars, but now, Daqian's market value is estimated to exceed 20 billion US dollars.
After all, a few years ago, in Idei's view, Jia Yapeng was just a Chinese man who was a little bold and lucky.
But now, Jia Yapeng is already a world-famous entrepreneur, in Fuso, some people even think that Jia Yapeng can be compared with the god of management Konosuke Matsushita and Akio Morita, after all, these two people are not as fast as our boss Jia.
Who would have imagined that the young man in front of him, who was still young, accepted a debt of 200,000 yuan before he finished college 7 years ago?
The changes in the world are really confusing.
Thinking of these things in his heart, Nobuyuki Idei couldn't help but be a little distracted, and he even forgot how he sat down, until his wife pushed his shoulder, and Nobuyuki Idei came back to his senses.
"This is a dish that I specially invited from the imperial capital, and the chef who has made our Chinese state banquet has carefully prepared it, I don't know if it meets the appetite of the two of you!" Boss Jia said with a smile, Nobuyuki Idei realized that on the huge dining table in front of him, there were more than 30 different dishes.
There were only four people sitting at the table.
Nobuyuki Idei smiled, stretched out his chopsticks, and sandwiched them on top of the braised sea bass closest to him.
This was originally just a ceremonial action, but after Nobuyuki Idei took a bite, he couldn't help but want to take another bite, and when he reacted again, how rude his actions were, Nobuyuki Idei ate four or five bites.
There's no way, Nobuyuki Idei has eaten such delicious food,
Although there are many Chinese restaurants in Fuso, in fact, those Chinese restaurants are all adapted to the taste of Fuso people, and Nobuyuki Idei has really never tried this kind of Chinese cuisine at the level of a state banquet.
And if the braised sea bass is so delicious, how wonderful will the other dishes be?
Nobuyuki Idei looked at the other dishes on the table, and couldn't help but salivate, but when Fuso people eat, they generally only clip the food in front of them, and it is impossible to stretch out their arms to pick up vegetables, which is a very rude thing in the eyes of Fuso people.
So although there are more than 30 delicacies on the table, Nobuyuki Idei can only taste the three dishes at hand, which makes Nobuyuki Idei feel a little depressed.
"Idei-kun, do you know what I'm inviting you here for today?" Seeing Nobuyuki Idei's expression, Boss Jia smiled slightly, and then said.
"Jia Jun, you don't say anything when you eat, you don't say anything when you sleep, it's not right to talk when you're eating!" The way of Izui Shinji is the tradition of the Fuso people, and it is best not to speak when eating.
"This is not the habit of our Chinese people, many of our big deals and big businesses in China are negotiated at the dinner table!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "The so-called guest is as he pleases, since Izui Jun has come to my house, then come according to my rules, let's negotiate things at the dinner table today!" ”
"Alright! I don't know what Jia Jun's purpose is when I invite me? Nobuyuki Idei sighed, although he didn't like this kind of negotiation at the dinner table very much, but since Boss Jia had spoken, he was embarrassed to refuse, because this was also Fusang's rule.
The guest is as he pleases, and this rule exists in every country.
"Simple, I hope Sony Music can withdraw from the plaintiff group this time, and publicly issue a statement to support our Daqian!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"It's impossible!" Nobuyuki Idei said very simply, although he had guessed that Boss Jia would find him because of this matter, but when Boss Jia said his request, Nobuyuki Idei was still a little shocked.
He originally thought that Boss Jia was just trying to reach a settlement with Sony in private, but he didn't expect Jia Yapeng to ask even more excessively, which made Nobuyuki Idei very unhappy, this Jia Yapeng was inevitably too arrogant, did he think that just by relying on the delicacies at this table, he could let himself sell the company's interests?
"Izui-kun, have you ever considered what will happen if we lose the lawsuit?" Boss Jia asked with squinted eyes.
"Compensate us for our losses, of course, and ban the production of MP3s forever!" Nobuyuki Idei raised his head and said with some pride.
"Not to mention that we are only the producers of products, not the providers of pirated content, so your chances of winning the lawsuit are not high."
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you win, we will lose everything, and we will pay $1.2 billion in compensation according to your indictment, so how much money can you Sony get?"
"I read your indictment, according to the above agreement, 1 billion US dollars of the 1.2 billion US dollars are for the US Recording Industry Association, and the other 200 million US dollars are allocated to your 28 companies, and you Sony only accounts for 5% of the 200 million US dollars, that is, 10 million US dollars, which is really not interesting to you!" Boss Jia said with a smile, and when it comes to this compensation distribution ratio, Nobuyuki Idei is also helpless.
In fact, at the beginning, the amount of compensation they proposed was 200 million US dollars, but after the United States Record Industry Association filed a lawsuit together, considering that the local snake is easy to handle, it depends on the United States people to fight a lawsuit in the United States, so the leading power of the entire lawsuit was handed over to this record industry association.
What I didn't expect was that the Recording Industry Association actually increased the total amount of $200 million in compensation to $1.2 billion in one go, and then all the extra $1 billion in compensation was paid by the Recording Industry Association.
Although there will be no change in the compensation distributed by Sony and other companies after the agreement is changed, this method is inevitably a little too disgusting, so even Nobuyuki Idei is very unhappy about it.
However, the compensation itself is not important, it is important to prohibit Daqian from producing MP3s.
After all, now the world's largest portable music equipment manufacturer is Sony Group, as long as MP3 is killed, then Sony's market will be re-stabilized, and there is no need to painstakingly develop new products, no matter how you look at it, it is the most beneficial thing for Sony, which is what Sony values most.
Money or something, it really doesn't matter.
