ps: Thank you ssd007, haelym, and dark jockey for your rewards! To be fair, Lijian Zhengya does not want to sell its music industry. ¡Ü, Because compared to the film industry, Sony Music has extremely strong vitality and its hematopoietic ability is also very outstanding. Because Sony Music has unparalleled influence in the music circle of the entire world. Even in Europe and the United States, the mainstream markets of pop music, it owns Michael Jackson, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, Susan, Celine Dion, Britney and many other influential superstars. . In addition, Sony Music is the well-deserved leader in Asia. From Japan to China, from South Korea to Southeast Asia, they all have their own talent activities. Every year, Sony Music alone brings back more than $3 billion in profits to Sony. Although these profits are a drop in the bucket relative to the entire group. But now there are really not many profitable departments under Sony, and if you sell one, you will lose one. ¡°But Li Jianzhengya had to sell it because he knew that if Sony music was not packaged together, no one would be interested in Sony movies. In September 1989, Columbia, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, was acquired by Sony for a sky-high price of US$6 billion. From this time on, Sony officially entered the film industry. Although at the beginning, as an outsider in Hollywood, Sony was completely unaccustomed to the local environment and suffered huge losses. But in 1997, after Howard Stringer took office and carried out a series of drastic reforms, Sony Pictures began to gradually make profits. The illusion that Colombia is coming back to life has deceived Sony. So much so that the subsequent decision-makers, namely Yoshio Tachimi, ignored Akio Morita's warning before his death and insisted on acquiring MGM Pictures, another of the eight major Hollywood film companies. Since this time, the decline of Sony Pictures has been like a roller coaster, and it cannot be stopped no matter how hard it applies the brakes. Because the family has a big business, it is difficult to turn around. When new film technology is booming, Sony Pictures simply cannot keep up with the times and gradually lags behind the new industrial environment. What makes Sony vomit blood the most is that it is protected by US labor laws. Even if they wanted to file for bankruptcy protection for MGM, they couldn't. The U.S. Supreme Court has warned that if Sony forces MGM to go bankrupt, it will impose sanctions on the entire Sony industry. The United States is Sony¡¯s largest international market, and its share even exceeds that of Japan. Faced with the suppression of the US government, Sony has no choice. The only thing we can do is not spend a lot of money to subsidize Sony Pictures, which is a bottomless hole. Now, facing the demands from cooperative manufacturers, Lijian Zhengya has no choice but to sell its properties and get cash to maintain the current predicament. In order to successfully sell Sony movies, he had to tie up with Sony Music, which has good returns. The news of Sony selling its properties has not yet been made available to the public, so the outside world is still calm. But in the business world, everyone who needs to be informed already knows everything. "It's just that Zhengya immediately saw the turmoil in the outside world as he expected. The situation of buyers from all walks of life swarming in did not appear. There was an eerie calm in the entire market, so quiet that it made people feel depressed. After Li Jian Zhengya was briefly stunned, he became endlessly angry. He understood that the reason why the business world was so calm was not that greedy capital was not interested in Sony's industries, but that they were forcing him to sell at a lower price. The estimated market value of Sony Pictures alone is around US$25 billion. Coupled with Sony Music, there is no way to get it without 50 billion US dollars. nowadays. The global economic environment is not good, and all businesses are calculating carefully. Who is willing to spend so much money to acquire an industry with an uncertain future. Although the international market is huge, only a handful of companies have the strength to acquire Sony¡¯s two major industries. So although there is no communication between these potential buyers. But everyone tacitly adopted the waiting method at this moment. They are all waiting to see Zhengya vomit blood and sell it, so that they can get a bargain at the cabbage price. Seeing that Zhengya immediately understood the evil intentions of these people, she almost fainted out of breath for their way of adding insult to injury. But what made Li Jian Zhengya furious the most was that he had no time to wait. The deadline given by Sanbanmu Company is only one week, otherwise Bo will have to go to court. And uniquely. After Sanbanmu Company, Sony's other upstream suppliers also came to the door one after another. They can either ask Sony to pay back the money they owe, orWhat is required is to require Sony to sign a guarantee contract, otherwise, supply to Sony will be stopped immediately. ??Looking at these upstream suppliers one by one, they seem inconspicuous, but when added together, the impact can be huge. Without their cooperation, Sony will cease operations immediately. Moreover, these suppliers cover a wide range of products, from plastic products to electronic components, as well as special glass, non-ferrous metals, etc., all are covered. It involves Sony¡¯s industries, from electronic products to medical equipment, from finance and insurance to logistics, all fields are not spared. It seems that in the business world, the situation that the Sony Building is about to collapse has spread. Everyone feels that Sony is unable to make ends meet and is not far from bankruptcy. That¡¯s why I rushed to collect my debts, fearing that Sony would be ruined and everyone¡¯s hard-earned money would be wasted. At the same time, conflicts within Sony finally broke out. Hiroshi Yoshioka, Yoshihisa Ishida, Kunimasa Suzuki, including Kazuo Hirai, were all extremely dissatisfied with Masahashi Tachimi's decision. At the company¡¯s policy discussion meeting, the Four Musketeers stood on a united front for the first time in their lives and severely criticized the opposition to Zhengya¡¯s approach. "President, what are the financial departments doing recently? As the CEO of the company, I don't even have the power to interfere with the financial department?" Hirai Kazuo changed from his usual elegance and asked aggressively. Hirai Kazuo's ability to reach the position of CEO of Sony is entirely the result of Yoshio Tachibana's admiration for him. When he was in charge of Sony's PS series of products, Hirai Kazuo achieved dazzling results, making PS game products a star brand under Sony in one fell swoop. Not only has sales exceeded 10 million in a row, but it has also defeated Sega and Nintendo one after another, making Sony games the dominant player in the market. In view of his outstanding performance, Weixiong immediately promoted him, allowing him to gradually grow into the head of Sony. When Kazuo Hirai took office, he had great ambitions. In his opinion, a company as big as Sony, involved in so many fields, is almost like an unsinkable aircraft carrier. As long as the entire company works together as one, it is not difficult to reverse the current unfavorable situation. However, Hirai Kazuo soon realized that his thoughts were too good. The entire Sony company was not Sony Games, and there was no internal business department that was as simple as that. Due to historical reasons, there are many factions within Sony, which restrict each other and compete for power and profit, which has completely suppressed the possibility of mutual unity. Especially after Li Jian Zhengya came to power, the chief minister was strong and there were many princes, which made Sony's situation even more confusing. Hirai Kazuo worked hard to persuade all parties to give up their own interests and jointly safeguard the overall interests of the company. But what he didn¡¯t expect was that while he was working hard to resolve conflicts, his boss, who immediately saw Zhengya, kept creating conflicts. So that everything he did ended up being in vain, and he watched the company fall apart with cracks everywhere. ¡°There is always a question in Hirai Kazuo¡¯s heart. But he didn't dare to mention it to anyone, not even his own wife, and he didn't reveal a word. He vaguely remembered that he visited Chairman Li Jian Weixiong the day before his death. The two had a great conversation at that time and exchanged a lot of views. Moreover, Ichimi Weixiong affirms and supports many of his strategies. This makes Hirai Kazuo very excited, and he has begun to look forward to Sony being in his hands to revive the reputation of Japan's largest electronics company. Until now, he still remembered that when he was talking to Tachimi Yuio, the old man was in good spirits and in good health, and he didn't look like he was in his twilight years at all. Who would have expected that when he woke up the next day, he heard the news that Li Jian Weixiong had passed away. What made him most suspicious was that Tao Jian Weixiong's inseparable butler Xiaolin Daofu did not appear at the funeral. And since then, there has been no news about this person. Everything indicates that Weixiong's sudden death does not seem to be so simple. "But Kazuo Hirai couldn't figure out the mystery behind it, so he didn't dare to say it casually. But for some reason, every time he faced Li Jianzhengya, he could vaguely feel a chill to his bones. Generally speaking, Hirai Kazuo is a person who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and he regards the revitalization of Sony as his lifelong mission. But all of this, today, has turned into nothing. The company plans to sell two important industries, he, the CEO, actually got the news later than the outside world. Coupled with the abnormalities in the financial sector, all the dissatisfaction he had accumulated for a long time suddenly burst out. Such a cowardly CEO is inappropriate. The young chairman is headstrong, stupid and incompetent. He ignores his own efforts, ignores his own opinions, and insists on going his own way. Under such circumstances, he completely realized that the end was approaching. ¡° Heaven is about to perish, how can human power reverse it? No one expected that the first person to open fire on Masaya was Hirai Kazuo, who was regarded as his right-hand man. But no matter how you say it, this indicates one thing, that is, what Li Jian Zhengya did was so unpopular that even his hardcore supporters clearly opposed him. Encouraged, Hiroshi Yoshioka, Yoshihisa Ishida, and Kunimasa Suzuki rushed forward and denounced what Masa Tatemi had done. (To be continued.)
