Large and small consortia led by Mitsui and Mitsubishi control all areas of Neon's business, and Sony received help from the Mitsui Foundation in the early days of its business.

But the latter started with technology, and successfully broke the rules of the monopoly game without being controlled by any consortium or wealthy family, in other words, it is the most 'pure' enterprise among the neon business giants.

If he had to work with Neon Snake, Hall's ideal target would be Sony.

"The consortium is like a giant ship sailing on the sea, the speed is slow and it is difficult to make a flexible turn, the invisible bottom of the ship has a large number of parasites attached to the board to erode the ship, and the captain has the absolute power to throw his disliked men into the sea at any time to feed the sharks."

Akio Morita put down his teacup and added after a slight pause, "However, its presence has really helped many high-quality small businesses, so Sony and the consortium still maintain a good relationship." ”

"I'm looking forward to how Morita will guide me through the door of the neon business world." Hall weighed in to show his attitude.

Aside from the entry into semiconductors, it is indispensable to deal with the financial industry of several consortia in advance, and it is not harmful to be familiar with it in advance.

And he considered whether to use Soros to short the Asian Tigers, and blow up the neon financial market head-on.

The profit of this kind of play is exaggerated enough, and the risk is also very large, and once there is an accident with his capital, he will become the one who is on the side, so there is a lot more to observe and evaluate......

Akio Morita said with a smile full of meaning: "Your Excellency Hall must be worth this trip. ”

Although he didn't ask, he knew that the Wall Street upstart in front of him couldn't come to Neon just to mourn Hirohito. The overheating trend of the neon economy is well known, and the government is already trying to control it, and it is not easy for foreign capital to take advantage of it.

Everyone learns from each other based on their abilities, which is also worth the trip.

"The royal family is hosting a banquet for the mourners of the private business community, and representatives of various consortia are in attendance, and we look forward to the arrival of His Excellency Hall and Ms. Cheryl tomorrow at 9 p.m."

Akio Morita finally extended an invitation as a "guide", and then said goodbye and left.

The door closed and closed to create a gust of wind through the hall, the wind chimes hanging on the eaves swayed and swayed, and the wisps of incense smoke drifted away.

The delicate girl in the kimono continued to perform the tea ceremony with graceful manners, and Hall was silent with her chin propped up.

Aunt Cheryl rubbed her legs curled up until she was sore, stared at the white shoji paper covered by the wooden door in a daze, and said softly after a long time: "Hugo, Mr. Morita is gone." ”

"Can't get enough of him?" Hall teased.

"I mean, he just left so easily?" Aunt Cheryl was a little depressed and explained seriously, "I thought he would propose some reciprocal conditions...... At the very least, you have to promise to be his "guide". ”

Hall shook his head and smiled, thought for a moment and said, "We've already negotiated the price." ”

What Akio Morita lacks is not a guide but an admission ticket, and the other party's purpose has always been Columbia Pictures, and asking him to lunch today is just to show his attitude.

The beggar's version of the Avengers, formed by Koeman, Herbert Jr. and KKR, has made a lot of small moves recently, taking advantage of the heat of Emperor Hirohito's death to stir up cold rice to create neon threat theory, and successfully get Congress to intervene in Sony's acquisition of Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola has taken the initiative to halt the acquisition process and will hold a congressional hearing on the acquisition next month.

The acquisition has developed to this point, Sony's acquisition of Coca-Cola can basically be declared a failure, and the cost paid in the early stage is obviously that the meat bun has not returned, and the follow-up to end this mess can be predictably hemorrhaged and spend a huge amount of dollars.

Then the question is, after Sony was slaughtered as a pig by Coca-Cola, does it want to enter Hollywood?

Akio Morita gave the answer today, after the acquisition of Coca-Cola was blocked, he still had to turn around and directly acquire Columbia Pictures and get the ticket to enter the old money circle in Europe and the United States!

The subtext of not mentioning Columbia Pictures today is to ask Hall to stop tossing, if he hadn't jumped up and down to sow discord at the beginning, Sony would have directly launched an acquisition of Columbia Pictures, and would not have been slaughtered by Coca-Cola at all.

In short, Akio Morita has a deep understanding of Hall's ability to stir up trouble, and the latter's actions some time ago have shown great interest in winning Columbia Pictures.

Therefore, he deigned to take the initiative to visit, and was willing to be a 'Japanese traitor' to lead the way for this plagued Wall Street upstart, in exchange for the other party to give up competition for Columbia Pictures.

"Dear Aunt Cheryl, I seem to be sitting in the bank! After eating, the upper house eats the next house. Hall concluded triumphantly in a tone that he couldn't hide.

He tossed before because he cooperated with Warren Buffett to kill Sony, and now he has succeeded, just waiting for the spoils to be shared afterwards.

Now he has no reason to stir up the situation anymore, but Akio Morita took the initiative to send warmth to the door...... Thinking about it like this, the upper and lower homes seem to be Sony, one fish and two eats......

Aunt Cheryl just laughed silently and didn't say anything.

Hall was stunned and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, are you still thinking about the morning?" ”

Aunt Cheryl shook her head, took a sip of the teacup, nodded after a few seconds and said, "Is this your normal state now?" ”

“…… Sorry, I didn't understand what you were referring to? Hall didn't know why.

"The blood that emits heat and splatters in front of me does not affect the appetite at all, and the business is achieved by tacit understanding and invisibly at the wine table."

Aunt Cheryl sighed, "One second you were talking about the 'big mistake' of cutting off your head, and the next second you were talking about the art of tea ceremony, is this your daily life now?" ”

“…… Yes. Hall replied calmly.

'Black Monday', who saw blood splattered and vomited in fear, is now able to use this past as a little story to prove that his little boss is a Wall Street genius, and talk about it at a cocktail party.

As a Wall Street genius himself, he can only be more indifferent.

Aunt Cheryl looked at him for a moment with a complicated expression, and said in a gentle tone, "Are you so tired?" ”

"That's why I want to rest." Hall shrugged.

Aunt Cheryl nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, Hugo, I suddenly found that there is a long distance between us. Maybe Helena and I have cared too little about you during this time, and only care about being proud and happy about your growth. I guess I'll have to be alone and reflective. ”

She didn't wait for a response, stood up and left the tea room alone.

Well, he upset Aunt Cheryl, but what did he do wrong......

Hall pressed her eyebrows, leaned back on the floor, and closed her eyes.

The delicate girl in a kimono moved slightly, put down the tea set and pulled a thin thread in her hand.

The door of the tea room opened, and another handsome girl in a kimono walked into the room and saluted silently, kneeling and crawling to Hall's side, gently lifting his head and resting it on his lap.

Hall opened his eyes and looked at the face of the beautiful girl from the bottom up, then raised his head suspiciously, craned his neck to look at the girl performing the tea ceremony, and asked curiously, "Twins?" ”

The girl performing the tea ceremony shook her head to indicate that she did not understand.

The girl's jaw, which served as a human pillow, said yes in English.

"Whose property is this hotel?" Hall asked.

"Four Seasons Hotel Group."

"So you have nothing to do with the Neon Local Consortium?"

The girl didn't answer, her face flushed slightly and beckoned to her twin sister, who was kneeling in front of the tea set. My sister walked over on her knees, bowed to Hall, and said in a cold voice in Japanese: "Hugo-kun, please give me a lot of advice, please." ”

Halton sat up on his back, admired the slightest lust in his eyes and said: "The wind has a letter, the flowers are correct, and the flowers should bloom today." ”
