Chapter 274: Old Fox
After stiffly interrupting Kozo Osone's rebuttal, Heitaro Nakajima cleared his throat before turning to face the crowd.
"You've just heard about Osone-san's plan, he wants to move Aihua's radio production line overseas, or even abandon the domestic market.
On this point, I am personally firmly against it! ”
Heitaro Nakajima waved his hand, and his tone was quite resolute.
"Radio is Aihua's last profitable business, if this piece of the market is abandoned, then who will guarantee our interests?!
Just for the sake of that ethereal CD player, do we have to give up the profits that we have already gotten in our hands?
This is a joke on our shareholder equity! Slippery world!
Aihua will never give up the existing profit market! No one would agree to such a decision! ”
The emotional Heitaro Nakajima, that's called a heartache.
The waving arms made his whole person look impassioned, as if he was about to launch a duel against Kozo Osone at any time.
Not to mention being stirred up by him, there were really many people in the conference room who hesitated.
Let's not talk about why Heitaro Nakajima is so excited, but at least he is right with only one sentence.
These products such as radios are indeed the profit support of Aihua.
It is easy to pin its future on the overseas market and bet on CD players in an all-out bet.
It's too radical and too risky.
Many of the shareholders in the conference room are over half a hundred years old, and their thinking is very traditional and conservative.
I'd rather not take that risk, but also ensure the benefits in my hand first.
"Nakajima-san!" The wooden pole in Kozo Osone's hand pointed fiercely at Heitaro Nakajima.
"Your Excellency is here today, are you making trouble, or do you have other intentions?!"
"Don't have any intentions?!" Heitaro Nakajima sneered.
"Looking down, it's Osone-san who has no intentions.
Give up the stable traditional business and lure everyone into the CD player market with an unknown future.
But you say, "What is the reason?"
Isn't Sony planning to take advantage of Aihua's loss of the traditional market and its inability to do so in the CD player field to swallow the entire Aihua? ”
As soon as this comes out, let alone anyone else in the room. Even Mitsuo Ikehato's face changed suddenly.
"Bloody !!" Kozo Osone was about to blow up.
The wooden pole in his hand began to tremble with anger.
If he could, he really wanted to stab it hard at that hateful Shiba Inu face.
"Sony itself is also going all out to develop a CD player, how can it have ulterior motives?
But your Excellency, if I'm not mistaken, Shirakawa Electric, represented by Nakajima-san, is also secretly developing a CD player.
Now that he is trying his best to prevent Aihua from entering this field, can Nakajima-san explain why? ”
As Kozo Osone's words fell, everyone turned their heads to look at Heitaro Nakajima in tacit understanding.
The latter heard Kozo Osone's criticism, but he smiled without any psychological burden.
"It is precisely because Shirakawa Electric has suffered enough from CD players that I strongly recommend that you consider it carefully."
Hey, what's the reason for this, could it be that there are some imperceptible pitfalls in the field of CD players?
"Osone-san, do you dare to say that Sony's CD player can do as shown in the picture?
Has the problem of skipping discs in Sony CD player been solved? Is the expensive cost solved? ”
Every time Heitaro Nakajima said a word, Kozo Osone's face became ugly.
By the end of the last question, the latter's face was already stinking.
"What, don't you speak?" Heitaro Nakajima scoffed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be fooled by the picture in front of you.
The development of the CD player is far more difficult than imagined, and there is no result in a year or two.
It took more than a year for Shirakawa Electric to make mediocre progress. ”
After admonishing the shareholders in the audience, Heitaro Nakajima coughed again.
"It is precisely because Shirakawa Electric is also a shareholder of Aihua that I have informed you of such a confidential development progress.
Everything is for everyone's benefit, and the progress issue that the contemptible person just said must not be passed on. ”
"Of course, Nakajima Sangao Festival, business intelligence will definitely not be known to outsiders."
"We will be tight-lipped, please rest assured."
"That is, if there is information leakage, everyone here is responsible."
As Heitaro Nakajima's words fell, there was a chorus of promises in the conference room.
As for Kozo Osone on the stage, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he couldn't completely deny what Heitaro Nakajima had just said.
And Heitaro Nakajima is not an outsider, he knows more about CD players than everyone here.
And he's right, Sony's CD player does still have a lot of problems.
With Aihua's R&D strength, it must have taken longer than Sony.
When Aihua launched its own CD player, the market at that time was really hard to say.
However, Kozo Osone still had to convince Aihua to enter the CD market, which was a task from the headquarters.
Aihua's recent performance has been so bad as Aihua's majority shareholder.
Even Sony couldn't stand it anymore, so the board of directors of the headquarters demanded that Aihua must turn losses into profits, which is why today's board meeting was held.
It's a pity that Sony only has 50.3% of Aihua's shares, and these people on the other side have about 35% combined, and the rest are circulating in the stock market.
Aihua is listed on the Second Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the outstanding shares can exceed 25%.
Recently, however, due to management problems, the stock market has been very sluggish, and the number of shares in circulation is far less than 25%.
Most of the credit for this is attributed to a guy who secretly absorbs shares, Kozo Osone glanced at Heitaro Nakajima, who was there with the old god.
Either way, these people here have an influence that cannot be ignored.
In the face of them, Sony can't say a word.
And as long as more than one-third of the board members disagree, the decision cannot be passed.
Otherwise, Kozo Osone would have the kung fu to talk to them.
What has Sony decided, I will read it out directly here.
Seeing that Kosanichi Osone fell into an unspeakable state, it was then that Mitsuo Ikehato, the founder of Aika, stood up again.
"Osone-san, with Aihua's strength, if the research and development of the CD player is carried out alone, will it be able to go on the market next year?"
"This" this Kozo Osone really can't guarantee it.
"Contemptible people understand" Mitsuo Ikehato sighed, Aihua is still too far behind after all.
Just when Kozo Osone looked anxious and wanted to say something.
Mitsuo Chi raised his hand slightly, signaling him to be calm.
"Aihua does not refuse to enter the field of CD players."
Well? Kozo Osone raised his head in surprise, but Heitaro Nakajima's face became gloomy.
"But all of you here also have some conditions," Mitsuo Ikehato added unhurriedly.
"Ikehato-san, please speak," Kozo Osone looked serious.
"The premise for Aihua to enter the CD player field is that we can launch our own CD player next year."
After speaking, Mitsuo Ikehato glanced at the other party with eyes full of deep meaning.
Heitaro Nakajima raised an eyebrow, and the other people in the conference room smiled after glancing at each other.
Only Kozo Osone's face was a little ugly, but unexpectedly, after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Sony promises that Aihua will launch its own CD player next year."
"That's very good," Mitsuo Ikehato nodded in satisfaction, and most of the other people in the conference room looked satisfied.
Seeing this, Kozo Osone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
None of these guys are easy to deal with, especially the old fox.
Guarantee that Aiwa will launch its own CD player next year?
Knowing that Aihua's self-research ability is insufficient, he said such a thing.
To put it bluntly, don't you just want Sony's technical support?
However, I thought of the task of the headquarters, and the support of Norio Ohga before leaving.
Kozo Osone also gritted his teeth and agreed to the other party's opinion.
Sony is the majority shareholder of Aihua, and Aihua's profit is Sony's profit, and Kozo Osone kept comforting himself in his heart.
However, after seeing that hateful face, the mood that had finally calmed down became as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
"Osone-san, Aihua can enter the field of CD players, but traditional markets such as tape recorders must also be preserved."
"Huh"
Mitsuo Ikehato's sudden words made Kozo Osone, who was already in a bad mood, even more stunned.
"Tape recorder products are our guaranteed business, and we must not afford to lose.
As for overseas markets, it is completely possible to produce them in Japan and then ship them out by sea. ”
The rest of the people in the conference room who listened to this explanation all agreed, how could the inherent profits be easily put overseas with uncertain prospects.
The profits that have been grasped in the hands, of course, have to be grasped a little tighter to rest assured.
Heitaro Nakajima looked at Mitsuo Ikehato with a strange face, this old fox is not the one who suffers.
CD players want it, the traditional market also wants it, and even a wave of Sony prostitution is in vain.
It is not unreasonable to have such a great influence among shareholders.
"But Chi Jiu-san, in this way, Aihua's cost will rise sharply."
Kozo Osone didn't expect that the other party still wanted to hold on to that little bit of profit and was reluctant to let go.
It's just a little blind and stupid.
"The workmanship of neon is more reassuring, and the quality of Aihua must not be tarnished by others."
Mitsuo Ikehato looked down on the quality of production in Southeast Asia, and in his view, Aihua's reputation was more important than profit.
Kozo Osone sighed, "Since Ikehato-san insists, then the contemptible person has no opinion. ”
Pedantic, stubborn, and conformist, it's a really disgusting taste.
"Okay" Mitsuo Ikehato, who was holding a cane, nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, Aihua has officially entered the field of CD players."
Nakajima-san, do you have anything else to add? ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Heitaro Nakajima made a very interesting statement.
"I personally have reservations, but I obey everyone's arrangement."
It's too obvious to joke and jump out and sing the opposite tune at this time.
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, everyone didn't care about it anymore.
So picking up Mitsuo Ikehato's words, Kozo Osone announced the decision of the meeting again.
From now on, Aihua will also join the CD camp, and another player will be added to the CD player market next year.
At the end of the meeting, Heitaro Nakajima looked at Kozo Osone and then at Mitsuo Ikehato.
Don't talk about the old opponent, it seems that this old fox can't be underestimated.
I don't know if he looks trembling, but he can last a few years.
Kozo Osone, who finished sorting out the information in his hand, also looked at Heitaro Nakajima and Mitsuo Ikehato.
The Shiba Inu face does not say, and it is estimated that there will be fights in the future.
But this old guy who stepped into the coffin with half a foot didn't know when he would go in completely.
Qualifications, it's a disgusting thing.
