How to Develop the King of Anime

Sony's business situation was even worse before Kazuo Hirai came to power. After Kazuo Hirai came to power, he started his own reforms, eliminating many of Sony's bloated departments and returning all business goals to Sony's areas of expertise. Stopped Sony's decline, and even made progress in some places.

However, Jingu Yao knows that Sony can no longer be completely reformed by just one person. It's not that Kazuo Hirai does not want a drastic reform, but the reality does not allow him to do so at all.

Jingu Yao knows that Sony has some diseases that are deeply rooted in the bone marrow. If he wants to reform, he needs to move the interests of many people. Many of Sony's departments are in a state of unnecessary losses, and even personnel have changed due to decades of development. It’s getting more and more bloated, and some departments don’t need so many people at all, but Sony can’t do large-scale layoffs at all. If there are too many layoffs in one go, not only will employees protest and defend their rights, even the government may intervene. So many unemployed people will cause great social unrest.

It's not that Kazuo Hirai is not brave enough, but that he is also shackled by reality.

As if thinking of the unhappiness in his career, Kazuo Hirai raised the beer bottle in his hand and took a sip, which made him feel better.

"Sony's stubborn disease is indeed too serious. Now it is impossible to change it internally. The only way to change it is to borrow external forces. Now Sony cannot leave Hirai-san. If Hirai-san left Sony, I am afraid no one will. better than you."

Jingu Yao comforted Hirai Kazuo, raised the bottle and saluted him, and then drank more than half of it himself.

Zou, who was beside her, saw that Kazuo Jingu and Kazuo Jingu didn't even need a cup anymore, and began to drink freely. She shook her head helplessly, and was even a little surprised why Kazuo Hirai and Kazuo Jingong were chatting. So heartfelt.

Zou is a very slender and sensitive person. She has also seen a lot of intrigue in this family. When Jingu Yao met Hirai Kazuo, she clearly knew that the two were actually always on guard against each other, and they seemed to be very enthusiastic. In fact, the two of them didn't dare to speak openly at all, but inexplicably, after a few mouthfuls of beer and a few mouthfuls of food, the two of them became so heart-to-heart.

Man is really weird, Kanata thought.

"To be honest, I was really tired for a while and didn't want to continue working in this position. I have paid almost everything for Sony for so many years, but I can't change it at all, and even the sale of buildings can't stop."

At the end, Kazuo Hirai laughed at himself. For a listed company, it is extremely dangerous if it suffers losses for many years, and it will face delisting risks in the listing guidelines. At the time, how to make profits in the financial statements is very important. Some companies rely on the sale of some departments to improve the financial situation of the year and temporarily tide over the difficulties. For a large company like Sony, in addition to selling departments They also have a lot of fixed assets, and selling some buildings can also stop losses.

Jingu Yao did not speak, because he knew that Kazuo Hirai had something to say next.

Sure enough, after taking another sip of wine, Kazuo Hirai relaxed slightly and said, "...As you said, Jingu-kun, if I leave Sony now, Sony can't say that there will be no successor, but for the time being there is indeed no substitute. My people and the board don't want me to leave."

Speaking of this, Kazuo Hirai's words brought pride. Although the reason for this situation is that Sony's talent pool is insufficient, it also shows the strength of Kazuo Hirai's ability from the other side.

"But the above reasons are not the fundamental reason for my decision to stay... The most fundamental reason is you, Jingu-kun!"

Having said that, Hirai Kazuo looked at Jingu Yao with a burning gaze, and his tone changed a bit.

"Hirai-san is really amazing..."

Jingu Yao shook his head and smiled.

"No, I really mean this sentence... If I say that the verbal cooperation between me and Jingu-kun is optional, then this time Jingu-kun has shown me what I have done and what I have paid. Sincerity gave me the urge to do it again."

He stared at Jingu Yao's eyes and said in a slow tone: "...that 'artificial intelligence' is really powerful, it is so powerful that Apple's 'SIRI' has become a little bit of a child, Jingu-kun's company is only established After two years, there should not be enough time and energy to achieve such great success in this area, and this program cannot be developed by the Jingong family, otherwise it should have been used by the Jingong family long ago. "

Kazuo Hirai guessed many things from very small details, and as the president of Sony, as an upper-class person with his own views on corporate management and the development of the world, he saw the artificial intelligence system at a glance. The meaning of it, and even guessed some of Jingu Yao's ambitions.

"I don't know where Jingu-kun found such a powerful person or team, but the significance of this program is very important, what it represents, and what it can do, I think Jingu-kun himself knows better. "

Jingu Yao has been working hard to hide the existence of Akasaka Ryunosuke, and even by various means, let others suspect the development of these system programs on Ikemoto Shuichi, so even Kazuo Hirai, the president of Sony, will not. Know who actually made that AI program.

"Of course I understand its meaning, and it is precisely because I understand its meaning that Hirai-san also knows why I found you Sony."

"Although Sony has fallen, it is still one of the most famous companies in Japan, and the huge resources it has accumulated in the past are unmatched by other companies. Only we, Sony, can make your idea come true as soon as possible, and it will be well received by us. least resistance."

Kazuo Hirai calmed down and even forgot to eat the tempura in the bamboo basket in front of him. The waiter on the side was captured by the momentum of Yoshio Jingu and Kazuo Hirai, and he didn't even dare to come over and tell them how to eat this dish. .

"So Hirai-san has a decision?"

Jingu Yao laughs very happily, and chatting with smart people makes people like it.

"Of course, as long as you are a judge of the situation, you should know what to do now. I am sincerely grateful to Jingu-kun for choosing us Sony."

Kazuo Hirai lowered his head slightly and said.

Chapter [-] The man who can change the world

Kazuo Hirai is a smart person, or someone who can become the president of Sony must not be a fool, and there is absolutely no fool among the people on the Sony board of directors who elected him as the president. It is impossible for a fool to achieve this status. .

It is precisely because of his intelligence that Kazuo Hirai can better understand the truth, he can also judge the situation and know what he should do, and he also understands what Sony needs and can do now.

Sony is no longer the Sony of the past. If he is holding on to the vanity of the past to discuss business and cooperation with Jingu Yao, Kazuo Hirai knows that what Sony will get in the end can only be failure. Although the current Sony is still home The great cause is big, and it is still the world leader in many fields, but in the most high-end places, Sony has been unable to keep up with the pace and the rhythm.

This time, the 'artificial intelligence' that Jingu Yao gave to Kazuo Hirai completely amazed the Sony president, and even made Kazuo Hirai feel that this is a bit beyond imagination. The position of the company keeps their vision still in sight. Whether it is Kazuo Hirai or the entire Sony board of directors, the mobile phone business and the mobile communication business Sony must not abandon, even if this business department has been losing money for consecutive years within Sony.

Because the future is the era of mobile platform media, since Sony can see this, it is impossible to cut off 600 wrists.

However, Sony's competitiveness in the mobile phone business has not been strong. Their products are too unpositioned. It seems that the mobile phone is very high-end, but the actual situation is not satisfactory, and Sony does not do low-end business. , not to mention that it is compared with Apple, even Samsung in South Korea and many mobile phone companies in China are not comparable.

But the technology that Jingu Yao wanted to use for cooperation gave Hirai Kazuo hope. The technology possessed by Jingu Yao is the absolute core competitiveness. It is a terrible technology that can compete with all mobile phone companies and even other aspects. The things involved Kazuo Hirai can even be associated with military content, in which he also saw the ambition of Jingu Yao.

Even Kazuo Hirai knows that even if Jingu Yao does not cooperate with Sony, he can achieve his ambitions, but it will take some time. The reason why Jingu Yao chooses to cooperate with Sony is to reduce time and uncertainty. By the way, use Sony's prestige in Japan against those would-be competitors.

However, because the core technology is in the hands of Jingu Yao, Sony can only be left behind in this cooperation. For a proud company like Sony, becoming a vassal of others in an important cooperation is obviously a It was difficult, but Kazuo Hirai had such a daring force to let Sony run behind Jingu Yō.

Sony has made many mistakes in decision making in the past, and this technology has always been the world's top company and has been surpassed by other companies in many aspects, but this time Hirai saw the possibility of success in Jingu Yao, and Sony has risen again. possibility.

He has a hunch that the man in front of him, who can still be considered a child, will change the whole world as if he has changed many places in Japan, and as long as Sony follows behind this man who can change the world, even if he can't eat the most The important meat is better than those companies that can't even drink soup, and taking advantage of this opportunity is the opportunity for Sony to rise again. In the field of 'artificial intelligence', Sony may not be able to compete with Jingu Yao. There is competition, but in other respects, Sony still has many fields that can compete. You must know that Jingu Yao is not able to surpass others in all aspects.

Seeing through this essence, Kazuo Hirai lowered his proud head, and Sony also lowered that pride.

At this moment, Kazuo Hirai's heart was unusually calm, and he seemed to understand the struggle of the predecessors of Sony when it was founded. Those predecessors would never create and build Sony with such arrogance. Sony is just in In the process of development, the original intention was forgotten, and it began to deteriorate slowly.

Fortunately, this metamorphosis has not completely decayed, and Hirai Kazuo has also found the only way to change it in this decay that can hardly be cured, and that is the young man in front of him.

Jingu Yao smiled, and he smiled very satisfied. Although he knew that Kazuo Hirai was a smart man, that the people on the Sony board of directors were not fools, and that Miss Yasuda helped him, he still made Jingu Yao happy to be able to succeed.

Even if it is Jingu Yao's huge personal fame, what he has accumulated in the past two years is absolutely impossible to compare with Sony. In the hearts of Japanese people, Sony is almost a myth, a synonym, and now that it has agreed to cooperate, Then your plan can go smoothly.

"Hirai-san, let's discuss the specific things slowly. There are many areas where we can cooperate, and Sony is also involved in all aspects of Japanese society... Of course, we should start with the cooperation in the mobile phone business. Sony's The phone division has lost too much money, it needs to change, and presumably those of you on the Sony board will be happy to see that."

Jingu Yao is using Sony, and Sony is not using Jingu Yao. Everyone takes what they need, but one wants to go to a higher position, and the other wants to return to the glory of the past.
