Chapter 416: Akio Morita: Give the chicken
Murdoch doesn't have the same appetite as Sean, although he is extremely envious and jealous.
Last time, Sean worked as an intermediary for Zhongsha, and the profits he made in one go were almost equal to all of Murdoch's family properties.
It can be expected that Sean will be able to cut the Japanese hard again this time.
However, his news sold for 200 million, and Murdoch felt that it was enough.
To put it bluntly, this matter just didn't attract too many people's attention, and Murdoch also ordered people to pay attention to it because he had dates and no dates.
News Corp has branches all over the world at little cost.
The two negotiated, and Murdoch was ready to leave, but the problem came.
Prudence is going to play here for a few more days......
Murdoch's face turned black on the spot, play, what to play?
In the eyes of the old man, Sean is completely an obscene island, the women on the island are completely for Sean, and it is better for her daughter to stay here?
However, he can't be a daughter, and Proudens' stepmother Anna is very supportive.
In the opinion of Anna, a stupid woman, it was better for Prudence to marry as soon as possible, so as not to fight with his two sons for inheritance.
Murdoch's eyes were full of pity when he looked at Anna...... Do you think Prudence will not fight for the family property if he marries?
She is trying to stabilize the foundation and win over allies, even if she is not married to Sean, as long as Prudence has Sean's son, depending on Sean's attitude towards her offspring, she will definitely support Prudence to compete for family property!
Anyway, it's generous to others!
If the two are really married...... Oh, the largest media company in North America and even in the world was born, and no one can shake it anymore.
Murdoch felt that it was impossible for his two stupid sons, who only looked at beautiful women, to fight against Sean, a despicable and shameless guy!
After all, Prudence remained on the island, and on the way back with his bodyguards, Murdoch was pondering, he was not too young.
It's not impossible for a daughter to marry Sean, as long as the child has Murdoch on it.
According to the naming rules of Western aristocracy, the longer the name, the stronger the strength.
Murdoch's origin, it will take at least three generations for the family to be widely recognized around the world, and marrying the Rockefeller family is definitely a shortcut.
……
On the other hand, Akio Morita was also very positive, or excited!
From Sony's point of view, it will be Mitsubishi's business if things continue to ferment, and the impact on Sony will inevitably be greatly reduced.
From a cultural point of view, Rockefeller's Great Japanese Empire, he must support it!
Therefore, Akio Morita carefully concocted a news and released it in the United States through secret channels!
Why do the bells ring at Rockefeller Center?
Where does the shadow that pervades Rockefeller Center come from?
Is it depravity and decay or a collapse?
Stay tuned: Rockefeller Center Acquisition Program!
It's just that the news effect completely exceeded Akio Morita's expectations, and the little money he spent was absolutely impossible to detonate the media instantly, in the final analysis, it was the newsiness of the name Rockefeller.
Of course, Murdoch also pushed the flames hard, didn't he talk about it yesterday, he won't affect his work just because his daughter is in that stinky boy's bed.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole United States!
Rockefeller has a very high status in the minds of Americans, and it is synonymous with money and power.
But now the Rockefeller family is going to sell the Rockefeller Center, which represents the soul of the family, to the Japanese, which is like a bolt from the blue for Americans.
It's like the most beautiful village flower in the village, although she doesn't belong to you, but, but when you see him snatched by the Japanese......
For a time, Sony's acquisition of Colombia was quickly suppressed.
It's just one of the eight Hollywood majors, and it obviously can't be compared with Rockefeller!
Although it is just a piece of real estate, it is not much money, but the significance of the representation is too great.
Does this mean that Rockefeller has reached the point where he is going to sell off the iconic Center property in exchange for money to save the group?
If Rockefeller, who represents power and wealth, has reached this point, doesn't that mean that the US economy has also fallen into a trough?
Rockefeller is about to sell himself to protect himself, so how should ordinary people deal with themselves?
Well, even if it's not so serious, then, does Rockefeller's sale of the center real estate mean that Rockefeller is not optimistic about the U.S. real estate market?
This is one of the best cities in the world, and one of the most iconic and recognizable core properties in Manhattan, New York.
If the real estate prospects are bullish, then why did Rockefeller sell them?
For the American public, their own judgment is certainly not as accurate and professional as Rockefeller......
Reflected in the market, the next morning, many practitioners of real estate agencies found that the vast majority of the originally negotiated orders were reversed, and what was originally to be negotiated became a wait-and-see.
This phenomenon started in New York and spread wildly across the United States.
As soon as the news came out, even the presidential office of the White House called the Rockefeller consortium to inquire, did it have any views on the current US economy?
What do you think, the consortium can communicate with the government, but it can't engage in sneak attacks!
This is the influence of Rockefeller!!
Old man David was also a little anxious, according to the plan, it should be a few days of speculation, and then it will be revealed that the Japanese are arrogant, ready to buy central real estate from Rockefeller at a price much higher than the market, in order to declare their own strength.
And not from the point of view that Rockefeller is about to collapse when it is rotten and degenerate!
The same thing, different times, different angles of interpretation, the impact is completely different.
Originally, in history, this matter only broke out after the successful transaction, and there was a super high price, in the eyes of many Americans, this is Japan's wronged leader, and then guide the book to be arrogant, clamoring to buy the United States' remarks, which can completely guide the pressure of public opinion from Rockefeller to the book.
When the time comes, everyone in the United States will raise housing prices together to trick the Japanese.
The effect is completely opposite.
That's good!
Old man David called Sean directly, and when he came up, he scolded Sean for being bloody, doing things too impertuately, this is discrediting the family!
Sean had just received the notification, and his brain was buzzing.
"I said I didn't do this, do you believe it?" Sean looked depressed.
"Guess what?" Old man David sneered.
"Do you guess me?" Sean said it casually.
Old man David: "......"
If someone else dares to tease him at this time, he will definitely smoke it with a big mouth, and his son can't do it.
That is, Sean can!
The next generation!
However, Sean still dared to joke with him at this time, and it was really not Sean who did it.
"You let me think about it, I just learned about this, and no matter how I look at this news, it smells familiar." Sean held the phone in one hand and read the original news manuscript again, his eyes gradually narrowed, "This news, this wording, this special ......"
"Fake, this is definitely made by the Japanese!"
"The taste on this gram is too strong!" Sean suddenly suddenly, Akio Morita!
"He? Are you sure? He's crazy? Old man David threw out three questions in a row, "Even if Sony wants to pull others to attract firepower and get himself out of trouble, who will give him the courage to provoke Rockefeller!" ”
Old man David didn't believe that Akio Morita was so stupid, and the person who developed Sony and beat many American companies that were losing ground was definitely not a fool.
"What can I tell you?" Sean smashed his mouth with tears and laughter, and told Old Man David about the Japanese culture's 'lower Keshang' tradition.
The illegitimate son was abandoned by the family, counterattacked and counterattacked, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and finally succeeded in getting down, this set of things is simply too poking the G spot of the book.
I can't listen to it at all, and I climax as soon as I hear it!
The old man David was dumbfounded when he heard this, what kind of bastard son counterattack is counted, and the following is on it!
"You kid still have such plans!!" Old man David was furious, this is much more serious than any misunderstanding from the outside world!
"When am I going to get off the gram!" Sean had a black line in his head, "That's Akio Morita's idiot who made it up by himself." ”
"Damn, it's the most annoying thing to make up for the brain!"
"I don't believe it!" Old man David snorted.
"Old man, I'll tell you, believe it or not, don't believe it!" Sean slammed back.
"Don't try to fool around!" Old man David roared: "You kid has a motive, you want to make tens of thousands of offspring within three generations, if you really let your kid succeed, just now the population of the Rockefeller family will definitely be eaten and wiped clean by your kid, and there will be no indigestion at all!" ”
Sean:......
I'm just bragging!
"Didn't I tell you everything!" Sean felt that the family fertility KPI was sticking to him.
"That'...... Little Japan is uneasy and kind, clean them up for me! Old man David was stunned for a moment, changed the topic very stiffly, and then hung up the phone.
Sean looked depressed and scolded.
Fortunately, although the direction is a little crooked, it is generally okay.
Now that the heat of the matter has been stirred, the Rockefeller family has to stand up and calm the matter.
Sean is not idle, and when things are in turmoil, he has a reason to stand up and contact allies.
The first thing to find is General Electric.
At this time, the influence of Rockefeller can be seen, General Electric is owned by the Morgan family, but Rockefeller has a stake in one of them, which is the network.
(PS: General Electric and General Motors are not the same company)
Sean finds Jack Welch.
Jack Welch, who graduated from the University of Illinois in 1960 with a Ph.D. in chemistry, joined GE Plastics after graduation; At the end of '71, he became the general manager of General Chemistry and Metallurgy, in August '79 he became the company's vice chairman, and in April '81, at the age of 45, Jack Welch became the youngest chairman and CEO in the history of General Electric.
Greetings, greetings, hugs, coffee......
After the process was completed, Sean got straight to the point and put forward his intentions, "I don't want to start with Toshiba, Mitsubishi, and Hitachi, is GM interested in getting involved?" ”
Jack Welch was stunned for a moment, although Westerners like to be direct, but, this is too direct also.
However, he quickly thought of the news of the past two days, Mitsubishi is going to buy Rockefeller Center, but this little thing will not cause a business war, right?
You can't get angry and raise troops, and the same is true in business.
"It's not a good idea to start a commercial war."
"In the power facilities industry, in industrial plastics, shipbuilding, industrial equipment manufacturing and many other aspects, you have competition, and the Japanese company is the attacking side, General Electric is not very easy to live, the cost of the book is much lower than yours, you are ready to look at it like this?"
At present, GE has 9 headquarters groups, 50 business divisions, and 49 strategic business units, which involve a wide range of products and overlap with Japanese companies.
Jack Welch had a wry smile on his face, and Sean was really as rumored, speaking and acting aggressively, "It's not that we don't want to, but whether there is an opportunity, whether the cost is cost-effective, I am responsible for the board of directors and shareholders." ”
"Of course, I understand." Sean smiled and said, "I'm here to charge into the battle, I just need your help to beat the side drum and provide some help within the scope of your ability." ”
"For example?"
"For example, I know that Japanese companies do a good job of quality control." Sean said with a mocking face: "The product will be broken after three years of warranty." ”
Jack Welch smiled and nodded, "Japanese products are like their country, they can't withstand any risks, as long as they exceed the range, there will be problems." ”
But all the machinery of the book,Say how much power is how much,More than the cylinder will burst,Fault tolerance,European and American products,Even if it's the product of Lao Maozi,It's stronger than the book.。
"What's the reason, is it cutting corners?" Sean asked, confused.
"Nope." Jack Welch shook his head and said: "Cutting corners is definitely not good, at least not in the United States, they are playing word games, stealing concepts, such as motors, we will have a power range, the voltage will not be stable all the time, there will always be accidents during operation, our products must leave some leeway, it is always troublesome to damage, and Japanese products only have the maximum power, that is, the peak of machinery and materials, and it will be damaged very quickly." ”
"Of course, when you test it, you will find that it is indeed caused by other reasons, and it has nothing to do with them."
"Then why don't you do this, as long as the responsibility is not yours, you can still make money after the sale!" Sean asked, spreading his hands.
"No, no, no, it's impossible." Jack Welch shook his head and smiled: "This is a matter of quality system, it is a matter of all our products and reputation, aircraft engines, fighter engines, if the equipment does not have a certain amount of spare space, then what to do in the face of accidents?" ”
Saying that, Jack Welch laughed and said: "The department that uses these equipment is not easy to mess with, they don't care if it's an accident or their own problem, it's like a soldier has a broken gun, the military won't consider it because of the bad environment, they think it's your gun that can't be done, go back and improve it again." ”
"Then Japanese products won't have similar problems?"
"This is the problem of the scope of sales, we have indeed been robbed of a lot of markets, but most of them are relatively backward economic places, Japanese products have price advantages, such as Asia, Africa, etc., in Europe and the United States, Japanese products are mostly sold to emerging companies, or use the environment is very stable companies."
"The real high-end market is still ours."
Sean suddenly realized that there is a difference between domestic and imported, but this market is more high-end, power facilities, ships, machine tools, and machinery manufacturing.
"Well, you guys are professionals, I need some cases that can prove that the Japanese are in tatters, that they are harming everyone's interests, and that they can go to claim compensation." Sean said with a smile.
"Many, too many." Jack Welch tilted his head and looked at Sean and said: "But what's the use of these, it costs money to fight a lawsuit, and the Japanese will refuse to enforce the lawsuit in the United States because they are treated unfairly, and in Japan, we can't win, even if we win, the profit we can get is not large, and the more likely result is that the Japanese refuse to delay compensation for various reasons, and the behavior of multinational corporations is a difficult problem in enforcement." ”
Now is not the 21st century, but in the 21st century, it is a worldwide problem to cross the enforcement of commercial judgments.
"Haha, don't worry about this Mr. Jack, I got a series of lawsuits from the east to outsource, the Japanese are not so careful in the east, the evidence is conclusive, as for the debt collection, if Mr. Jack is not at ease, General Electric can transfer the debt to me, and the umbrella company is willing to buy some debts at a discount!" A cruel smile appeared on Sean's face, "My fleet of missile destroyers has reached the Indian Ocean, and it will be able to reach the Philippines in ten days, and it will reach the waters of Japan in half a month!" ”
"Debts?"
"Hah!"
"Then it depends on their ability and courage to bear the loss!"
"I don't believe that the Japanese government would dare to go to war with Daddy's fleet!"
"If you dare, that's great!"
Jack Welch was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Sean has personal force, and it is very powerful!
In an instant, Jack Welch was moved, don't look at the fact that he didn't seem to have the slightest interest in making trouble with the Japanese before, it was when he felt that there was no way to cause huge losses to the other party.
Only they know how much market GE has been robbed of by the Japanese, the business scope has deteriorated over the years, many departments have turned from profits to losses, and he, the president, is under a lot of pressure!
"What are the specific requirements? I mean to go along with your actions. Jack Welch stood up, and he didn't mention the assignment of the debt.
If Sean can force the Japanese to submit, then General Electric can follow and eat meat, and if Sean doesn't have this ability, he won't be able to make a lot of money by transferring debts.
When GE degenerates to the point where it needs to be protected, it's easy to say that it's not good, and this is the biggest harm to the president's execution.
Sean raised his eyebrows, GE obviously only wanted to cooperate, and did not want to join his team to bow down and act at his command.
If this was a few days ago, Sean would definitely use interests to fight for it, but now, as long as he catches the evidence that Toshiba secretly sold the five-axis machine tool to Lao Maozi, Sean can make them succumb honestly.
The reason why they are still looking for partners is nothing more than to create more momentum and put pressure on Mitsubishi and Hitachi, which are not part of Toshiba.
"The specific requirements must be sensational, such as the current Rockefeller Center acquisition case, to kidnap the American people, so that the more American people are damaged, the better, and the momentum must be big enough!"
Jack Welch looked at Sean in surprise, "You did this, crazy!" ”
Rockefeller has problems, half of the oil industry is in turmoil, the real estate industry is in turmoil, Wall Street is in turmoil, the United States is in turmoil, and the world is in turmoil!
Just to cut meat from the Japanese, it's too big to play.
Although it is a short-term turmoil, the loss is not ......
Well, the main loss is still leeks, and qualified capitalists naturally have access to the truth of the market.
Is leeks called losses?
Answer: No!
You don't even need to water and fertilize, the leeks will take care of their own thriving problems.
"Is there anything else I need to do?" Jack Welch asked with a smile.
"Help contact the Germans and the French, I think they have been unhappy with the Japanese for a long time, you are more familiar, I won't waste time, and finally, be fast!" Sean held out a finger and gestured, "Within a week!" ”
"The court must be open!"
"How is that possible!" Jack Welch was taken aback, "I don't even have a team of lawyers at this time." ”
"Efficiency, time is life, nothing is impossible with me, and the most important thing in this case is not any bullshit evidence, it is public opinion, it is those Americans who took to the streets, it is social pressure, it is government public relations."
"According to your efficiency, it's been a fucking month since the trial was held, and you've been waiting for you because of public opinion? We must keep the public opinion of the American people at a peak and continue to push this peak higher, so that we can give the White House enough reason to intervene and put enough pressure on the Japanese cabinet! ”
"You don't expect me to actually let the fleet bomb Tokyo, do you? Am I crazy or are you crazy, this is not the colonial era of giant ship cannons 100 years ago! ”
"Wake up!" Sean waved his arms, looking a little emotional.
"Okay, let's go!" Jack Welch patted his head, "Dear Mr. Sean, you must have been born in the wrong era, if it was 100 years ago you must have been the greatest president of the United States!" ”
Sean's efficiency is indeed a little difficult for him to accept, but it is still the same sentence, there is nothing that cannot be solved by spending money, it is nothing more than cost control.
"Hahaha, I think so too!" Sean shrugged, it's a shame indeed!
Get the big tiger of General Electric, and the rest of the people will be easy to say.
Whirlpool, Mattec, Carrier...... This group of people who sell white electricity and air conditioners is easy to do, and these companies have a lot of cooperation with Sean's shipping group.
Household appliances are also produced to be transported.
Sean didn't come to the door in person, but invited everyone to Newark to entertain them together.
What Mitsubishi wants to buy the Rockefeller Center is insulting itself or something, and the air is full of cheerful atmosphere.
Sean is in charge of organizing, in charge of publicity, in charge of charging, and finally gives everyone a sum of money.
As long as their companies stand up and slander the products of the Japanese, the United States will use the momentum of American products.
Sean really can't do this for him, otherwise he wouldn't need them.
At this point, everything is ready, only missiles are owed......
