What are you doing here today?

Hearing Mitsuo Ikehato's question, Heitaro Nakajima showed a look of surprise.

"Naturally, I came here today to attend Aihua's board meeting, what's the matter, does Chi Jiu-san suspect that someone is pretending to be Aihua's board representative?"

Seeing that they still didn't speak, Heitaro Nakajima waved his hand, "Ogawa~".

"Hai" Hiroshi Ogawa stepped forward majestically.

Without Nakajima Heitaro opening his mouth, he opened the briefcase he was carrying, solemnly took out a document from it, and handed it to the former.

"This is the appointment letter of Shirakawa Electric's shareholder representative," Heitaro Nakajima shook the documents in his hand and his eyes wandered around the conference room, "Do you need to check them one by one?" ”

"No need!" Mitsuo Ikehato interrupted his performance with a blank expression.

"As the former president of Aihua, Nakajima-san also knows a lot about the situation of the company, and I think there is no problem in serving as the representative of the board of directors."

"Ikehato-san has won the award, and Nakajima is too shallow to be ashamed." Heitaro Nakajima humbly owes a debt.

The muscles on Mitsuo Ikehato's face twitched slightly, but after his chest heaved a few times, he finally calmed down.

"The matter discussed today is related to Aihua's strategic goals, and I hope Nakajima Sanduo will bother."

"Certainly" After seeing that no one was meaningful, Heitaro Nakajima walked to the vacant seat in the front row and sat down.

Coincidentally, this position happened to be opposite Kozo Osone, so Heitaro Nakajima, who had just sat down, nodded slightly to the other party again in a friendly manner.

Brush, Kozo Osone looked away with a stinky face.

Alas, what a faux pas, Heitaro Nakajima shook his head regretfully.

"Alright, now that we've got all the people here, let's get started." It was still Mitsuo Ikehato who spoke first.

Although Sony is the largest shareholder of Aihua, as the founder, he still has a lot of influence on the board of directors.

Hearing Mitsuo Ikehato announce the start of the meeting, Kozo Osone, who was unexpectedly sitting opposite Heitaro Nakajima, got up and walked to the front desk.

Hey, this guy has become the president of Aihua, and Heitaro Nakajima showed a surprised look.

But it's not like it.,It's not like the president of Aihua who is released to be a promotion.。

With Kozo Osone's scheming, as long as there are no major mistakes, it is impossible to get to this point.

Just when Heitaro Nakajima was curious, Kozo Osone walked to the front of the stage and bowed slightly to everyone.

"This meeting is presided over by a contemptible person, please take care of it."

As he spoke, he gestured to the back of the conference room, and the staff there immediately turned on the equipment in front of him.

brush, and a blurred color diagram immediately appeared on the white wall behind Kozo Osone.

It's not very clear, but it's rare to be in color.

Nowadays, there are no digital projectors, and the conference room is equipped with a large CTR projector.

This kind of machine is complicated to operate, expensive, and must be operated by a special person every time it is used.

Although this projector is backward and bulky from a modern point of view, it is a high-end product at this time.

It is usually only found in the company's conference room and the classroom of the university.

Seeing that the picture was in place, Kozo Osone raised the wooden pole in his hand and pointed to the chart on the wall.

"Since last year, Aihua's revenue growth has been stagnant, with a year-on-year increase of almost zero for six consecutive months."

In the projected picture, Aihua's revenue growth curve is almost a horizontal line, and even decreased significantly in a certain month.

"It's very dangerous for a company to have its revenue stagnant.

This means that we are gradually being abandoned, abandoned by the market, abandoned by consumers, and abandoned by society. ”

Every time Kozo Osone said a word, the faces of everyone in the conference room became ugly.

Everyone is a shareholder, Aihua's profits are not rising, and it is their interests that are damaged.

However, only Nakajima Heitaro looked relaxed, and even took a leisurely sip of coffee.

What does Aihua's loss of money have to do with him? At that time, he was not the president of Aihua, and Shirakawa Electric was not a shareholder of Aihua.

Outsiders, calm down.

"But that's not the worst case," Kozo Osone knocked on the wall, and the icon on it "swiped" to another one again.

"Aihua's real crisis is this year," Kozo Osone looked directly at Heitaro Nakajima, who was drinking coffee.

"Since the second half of the year, Aihua's profits have plummeted. In August and September, it fell below the cost line, causing huge losses. ”

Following the wooden pole in his hand, the curve on the chart gradually slides until it falls directly off a cliff at some point.

The falling curve ignored the thickened cost line and plunged headlong into the abyss of negative numbers, and has not yet emerged.

Coughing, feeling the sight around him, Heitaro Nakajima raised his head and showed a harmless smile to Kozo Osone.

It's this hateful Shiba Inu face again!

Osone almost threw the wooden pole in his hand at him.

Half of Aiwa's huge losses this year are due to Heitaro Nakajima.

Now he is sitting here in a grand manner, representing the behind-the-scenes shareholders who have a direct interest in Aihua?

It's shameless! Slippery world!

What is this guy looking at me so viciously, I'm the representative of the board of directors, be careful that I complain to you.

Facing Kozo Osone's gaze, Heitaro Nakajima was not afraid.

"Now!" Osone Kozo knocked on the wooden pole in his hand heavily, "Aihua must make a change!" ”

"In order to get out of the quagmire of losses, Aihua must find new profit growth points.

Traditional radios, tape recorders, microphones, which have a limited market in neon.

With the advent of new products such as Walkmans, they have no future and will surely be completely phased out one day.

So! Kozo Osone looked up and looked down, "I suggest that these traditional products from the local area be kept only in minimum.

Other production lines have shifted to Southeast Asia, and there will be a market for radios and tape recorders there.

As for the local area, concentrate on expanding into new areas and do the final decisive assault! ”

The wooden pole in Kozo Osone's hand led the curve on the wall and threw it upward.

"Only in this way will Aihua's future have a glimmer of life."

As his categorical words fell, there was a buzz of discussion in the conference room.

I have to say that such a decision requires great courage.

Tape recorders and microphones are the pillars of Aihua's current profits.

It is easy to give it up in the neon market and transfer it abroad, to be honest, many people have some doubts in their hearts.

After all, this is the only business they can get profit dividends every year.

Easy to transfer abroad, who knows if it will develop smoothly in the future.

"What exactly is the new field that Osone is talking about?"

In the end, Mitsuo Ikehato, who was holding a cane, asked the questions in everyone's hearts.

"CD player!" , Kozo Osone didn't think about it, and directly reported the answer.

"CD player?"

Everyone's faces were a little surprised, and Mitsuo Ikehato also began to frown and think.

However, Nakajima Heitaro's face became serious.

Good guys, before Shirakawa Electric's products came out, it ushered in another opponent.

"Osone-san, you might as well elaborate."

Mitsuo Ikehato did not say yes or no, but decided to listen to Kozo Osone's suggestion first.

And the wooden pole in the hand of Kozo Osone, who heard this, was a little bit again, and the chart on the wall had been replaced with a picture.

"As we all know, a new generation of audio standard CD formats has been released.

There is no doubt that in the future, it will become the mainstream of the new generation of audio media.

As an audio equipment manufacturer, how could Aihua miss such an opportunity? ”

At this time, Kozo Osone pointed to the picture on the wall again, "Everyone, this is the concept machine of the Sony CD player." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the image, and the previous beautiful, pocket-sized, ultra-thin CD desktop caught everyone's eye.

I have to say that this picture is very good, and the entire CD body is full of sci-fi feeling.

The appearance is also very online, and at first glance it is a high-end product that integrates the essence of technology.

However, it can only bluff outsiders who don't know how to do it, and Heitaro Nakajima scoffs at it.

If Sony's CD player really does this, then everyone doesn't have to play it.

Push it to the market, and everyone will have to take a break.

If he hadn't seen Sony's original prototype, he would have almost believed the other party's nonsense.

"This machine" Kozo Osone tapped the picture with a wooden pole, "The sound quality is definitely the nemesis of vinyl and tape, and once you experience it once, you will not refuse it again." ”

"It sounds good, and it looks beautiful."

"If the sound quality is indeed better than vinyl, Aihua should probably give it a try."

Seeing that the people below began to move, Kozo Osone's serious face finally showed a smile.

"How are you guys? The performance of the CD player will definitely not disappoint everyone. If there are no opinions, then Aihua's next strategy is..."

"I'm against it!"

Before Kozo Osone's words could be finished, he was interrupted by an abrupt voice.

Everyone turned their eyes and saw Nakajima Heitaro's lonely arm raised.

"Nakajima-san, everyone knows the future of the CD player, what is your opinion?"

Osone Kosanqiang held back his anger and asked him very unceremoniously.

In the face of his angry gaze, Heitaro Nakajima got up expressionlessly and turned to the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget the lessons of the Walkman.

Aihua hastily entered a field that he was not familiar with, which led to today's business difficulties. ”

"You're embarrassed to mention the Walkman?!" Angry Kozo Osone directly interrupted his speech, and he didn't even bother to maintain the politeness of social rhetoric.

"The reason why Aihua's walkman business has suffered such a big setback, Your Excellency is at least half responsible!"

In the face of Kozo Osone's accusations, Heitaro Nakajima was full of words.

"That's because you don't listen to me and insist on getting into the Walkman realm.

If Aihua hadn't made a Walkman, he wouldn't have lost money today.

The same is true of today's CD players, we have no technology, no experience.

Directly set up a project for the CD player business, will the prospects really be as imagined?

Don't forget, in addition to Sony, there are also a series of giants such as Panasonic, Hitachi, NEC, Toshiba and so on are also carrying out the CD player business.

And their project has been developed for a long time, what will Aihua chase after it?

When Aihua's CD player comes out, is there still a place for Aihua in the market? ”

A series of rhetorical questions from Heitaro Nakajima made the other shareholders who had just been quite moved begin to hesitate.

After all, it's a new thing, and no one can guarantee that CD players will be a big hit in the future.

What happened to the Walkman now makes them very cautious about any major decision.

"None of this is a reason..."

"Wait, let me finish talking first!"

Kozo Osone just wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Heitaro Nakajima.

I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush yet.
