"President, she's here!" A bald Mediterranean man suddenly broke into Tsuruta's office. Tsuruta, who was a full-time manager a few years ago, has now taken the position of president of Nikon Corporation. +¡Ö He looks much calmer now than before. The chair under his butt is not a particularly ergonomic office chair, but a very old-fashioned straight-backed wooden chair. However, he sat there, motionless like a granite statue. However, he was not even interested in taking a look at this subordinate who suddenly barged in. It is this gesture that Tsuruta uses to declare his unshakable dominance over Nikon. This is not a natural authority, but the fruit of victory that he has worked hard to achieve. Even for one more second, he didn¡¯t want to let go. He has unshirkable responsibility for the lithography machine business - although most of the responsibility was passed on to the then head of the lithography machine business unit, Shiraishi Morina, some minor responsibilities have still become an indelible stain on his resume. Because of this, although he reluctantly took the position of president, his power and majesty were repeatedly challenged. But at the same time, Nikon, which has lost its pillar of photolithography machines and is in business difficulties, is in urgent need of a strong president to lead it forward. It¡¯s not that the old president has never considered choosing a new president, the board of directors has initiated several meetings for this purpose. But despite Tsuruta's poor business ability, he is a good player in company politics. Through a series of interest exchanges and official promotion promises, Tsuruta has won the support of most of the middle and senior management in the company. Actually, to put it bluntly, the predecessor of Nikon is Nippon Optical Industry Co., Ltd., which is the Roman abbreviation of "Nippon Optical" in Japanese (nipponkoga pants). If it weren't for the Americans who transformed the Japanese government and society. Maybe it still has the prefix Guo. No one thought that such a company would fail. Even the lost lithography machine market. There is also a lot of optimism. In about one or two years, we will rebuild a more advanced photolithography machine production line. This is actually the common mentality of Nikon¡¯s top management. Lithography machines are not Nikon's pillar industry, and no one would regard losing it as a life-threatening matter. ????????????????????????????????????????? Wouldn¡¯t it be more suitable for the company to replace the company with a relatively weak president to seize power and enrich themselves? Even if you don¡¯t have this idea, you would still like a boss who discusses everything with you, rather than someone who can suppress you at will. ¡°That¡¯s it, Tsuruta pretended to be easy to talk to, and sure enough, he paved the way to the position of president again. The equity situation of a century-old large enterprise like Nikon is very complicated. There are founders. There are past executives, outstanding employees who have served the company for life, funds, banks, personal investments, current senior managers and patent inventors who have made special contributions to the company, and even the Japanese government holds some shares, and some Shares are in the stock market. Simply put, there is not a strong voice on the board of directors representing shareholders. Everyone's shares are very loose, which is about the same as in Japanese politics. They form a cabinet together if they like it. If the relationship is not good or the interests are conflicting, then start over. Of course, this is true for most large Japanese companies. For example, the eldest son of Toyota Group does not only rely on his status as a Toyota family, but also works his way up the company step by step. It is basically impossible to expect the board of directors to appoint an unrelated person to run Nikon. Therefore, most of the company's middle and senior management support Tsuruta. The council had no choice but to approve his appointment. "I am responsible for the loss of the lithography machine business, but because of this, please give me this opportunity to atone for my sins! I will take the position of president. I will definitely help Nikon rebuild the lithography machine industry!" At the final board of directors meeting , Tsuruta said. He took over the seal ribbon representing the power of the president from the old president. It¡¯s just that Tsuruta, the president who was born with malnutrition, is definitely not qualified to handle this critical moment. It is necessary to turn the tide and support the building that is about to collapse. "It's a pity that he happened to sit in this position. Since Tsuruta took the position of president three years ago, Nikon has been in deep internal strife. The conservative faction, the radical faction, the democratic faction, the free faction, the fence-riding faction, the independent faction Each force takes turns to appear on the stage, and all of Tsuruta's energy is focused on keeping his position. At the beginning, the Japanese optical industry was still thriving, and only Canon could threaten its position. However, as infighting intensified and the loss of high-end technical strength, Nikon quickly fell into the ranks of second-tier companies such as Olympus and Fujifilm. But even so??Nikon's nightmare is not over yet. With Fanhan Group's investment in Jiangguang General Factory, China's optical industry has also ushered in an opportunity for development. In the field of traditional mechanical cameras, the technical level of Jiangguang General Factory is catching up, and it has even left a way for Japanese optical companies to survive. But in the field of digital cameras, it relied on its powerful electronic manufacturing technology and the Starlight series of imaging chips developed by North American Fanhan Research Institute to have an impact on the market. As for the secondary markets that do not have particularly high technical requirements, such as cameras, digital DV and spectacle lenses, spectacle optometry, optical equipment, scanners, and optical instruments, they have been completely occupied by Madeinchina products with high quality and low price. In the end, Nikon was struggling to protect only the film camera market. But after entering the new century, the development trend of digital cameras has been very obvious. The market for film cameras is gradually shrinking, and Nikon's revenue is becoming increasingly difficult to see. Now, although Tsuruta has firmly sat in the position of president, he finds that what is left in his hands is just a mess. Nikon¡¯s annual turnover in 2000 was less than half of what it was three years ago, and its profits were even less than one-fifth of what it was that year. The Chinese market is losing ground, and the Japanese market is also overwhelmed by Canon. After delisting from the Osaka stock market last year, the stock price fell to the floor in the Tokyo stock market this year. The biggest problem facing Tsuruta now is whether Nikon can survive. And this problem is gradually being revealed. The clicking of high-heeled shoes echoed in the corridor outside the door, and the noisy footsteps of a group of people came from the end of the corridor. Hearing these footsteps, Tsuruta felt as if he heard the whispers of a devil, and his face became pale and indifferent. Creak - The large, gorgeous wooden door of the president's office was pushed open from the outside. It was designed by Nikon's first post-war president, President Kimura, who created the Nikonf myth! How could you be so rude! The chair at the door of the president¡¯s office was thrown aside. Bastard, it was left over from 1923 by Nikon¡¯s chief engineer, Master Shimada! Ukiyo-e, that was the last president¡¯s favorite ukiyo-e! How can you be so rough! For a moment, Tsuruta wanted to pull out the Ichimonji sword enshrined behind him and just fight these bastards! "Executive Tsuruta, oh, no. I should call you President Tsuruta now. Long time no see, President Tsuruta." Familiar busty S-shaped figure, familiar glamorous charm, familiar tone of voice and familiar posture. Tsuruta put his hands on the table, took a deep breath, and nodded: "Long time no see, Shiraishi Morina, what should I call you? Director? President? Or what the Chinese call manager?" "Actually, I quite like 'manager' 'This word, but I would rather you call me Chairman." Shiraishi Morina crossed her arms and her career line suddenly became deeper. "Chairman, where is this cabinet?" "Chairman, are you drinking Longjing or jasmine tea?" "Chairman, do you want your hangers to be black or white?" The obvious person following behind Shiraishi Morina It was a group of Japanese Nikon employees who turned a blind eye to Tsuruta at this time, but eagerly asked Shiraishi Morina for her opinion. ¡°Obviously they want to transform this office into a place used by Shiraishi Morina. "Shiraishi Morina, don't go too far! This is Japan, do you know the origin of the name Nikon? You non-national!" "Oh, this sounds so familiar." Shiraishi Morina stretched out her little finger and took it. Er, tilted his head and thought for a while, suddenly realized: "When you were selling the photolithography machine production line, Manager Hatano blocked the workshop. Is that how he scolded you? Haha, if you want to say that you are a non-national, I am just your manager Tsuruta. "Where are the juniors?" "You, you" Tsuruta was furious and glared at her and said: "Shiraishi Morina, don't think that no one knows where the money for your purchase of Nikon came from. I will appeal to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. ! Nikon will not fall into the hands of the Chinese so easily. Your good life will not last long! " "Please do it." Shiraishi Morina spread her hands and said with a smile: "Before that, I hope Tsuruta. Sang, can you fulfill your responsibility first and hand over the president's seal and ribbon to me?" She looked back at the two tall security guards standing behind her, shook her head and said, "Maybe Tsuruta-san wants something to happen. An elegant thing? This is not a good choice for both of us." Tsuruta was silent for a moment and solemnly took out a small wooden stick from the drawer.? and placed it gently on the table. "Take it for you, Shiraishi. You were once a part of Nikon. I hope you can treat this company well." "Don't worry, I will make Nikon shine again." Shiraishi Morina said this solemnly. He nodded, took the small box over, opened it and took a look. There is a seal lying quietly on the red silk satin. It is the official seal of the legal person that represents the power of the president. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Shiraishi Morina closed the box and smiled softly. "Oh, that's right." She pointed to the chair behind Tsuruta, turned back to the busy staff and said, "Replace this chair. I want a more comfortable modern office chair."
