On the top floor of SONY's headquarters building, a group of elites who have created SONY's glory are burying their heads in silence.

The Japanese are a nation that pays great attention to discipline and respect. This is very similar to Korea. Young people in China are now just in awe of money and power, but for their elders, teachers, seniors, etc., But it lacks the necessary respect.

But when doing business, a large multinational company like SONY expects everyone to express their opinions during discussions, and does not advocate silence and waiting for orders from superiors.

But today, this matter was so big that the executive directors of various departments and the general managers of the headquarters, who were usually known for their "firecrackers", were silent.

The people who really make decisions at SONY are usually the two people sitting at one end and the other - Takagawa Teruki and Morita Masanoge.

The two of them hold more than 40% of SONY's shares through various means, and coupled with the name of their father's founder, they naturally stick to their word.

However, when the two made the proposal today, even they themselves were not so sure.

What makes SONY so embarrassed is the transaction with Fairy Company.

Previously, SONY wanted to obtain 5% of the shares of the App Store. Xiao Qi considered that joining another country's electronics giant could better balance Samsung and Apple, so he agreed to acquire Ericsson's mobile phone patents and wireless communication patents. , a total of US$11 billion in acquisition requests.

It's just that some time ago, because Sony did not get back Ericsson's American patents, the acquisition was incomplete, so Xiao Qicai did not agree for the time being.

Now it seems that Xiao Qi's disagreement is a good thing for SONY.

Otherwise, after spending a huge price of 11 billion US dollars to enter APPSTORE, it would be beaten to pieces by the Android store. Only then would SONY cry.

The Japanese's belief in Europeans and Americans comes from the bottom of their hearts, especially in the United States. GOOGLE, Motorola and Nokia have all been invincible overlords in the past ten years. Although Xiao Qi's upward trend is very obvious, after all, he is very lacking in background. , just in terms of technical accumulation, it is a few steps behind others.

Among SONY's internal executives, there is now a debate circulating about whether to choose the App Store or the Android Store.

Today's meeting is to solve this problem.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Masahiro Morita simply said: "Let me tell you first, I called Xiao Qi yesterday, and his request was still so arrogant. We need to pay Ericsson patents and a lot of other things besides US dollars. , As for what it is specifically, he didn’t say, we need to consider it ourselves.”

"Haha, this young man from China is really arrogant!" Katsura Higashimura, executive director of the Development Department, laughed, "Don't he know that all the big companies and big media in the world are looking down on him? App store? In this critical time, we at Sony are willing to join in and provide them with help when they need it, but we are not eager to beg them for rewards!"

"You can't say that." Gao Chuan Teru said lightly: "APPSTORE is the most profitable APP store now, with a daily turnover of more than 100 million US dollars. No matter how strong the Android store is, it will still outshine Nokia and Motorola in February next year. Only after the mobile phone is on the market can it start operations. To reach the scale of APPSTORE, it will take at least half a year. Calculated in this way, it is at least 8 months from now. With eight months, what can APPSTORE develop to? The extent. None of us know.”

Seeing that one of the bosses, Teruki Takagawa, was saying good things to Fairy Company, Kei Higashimura quickly stopped laughing and did not dare to speak.

Morita Masanobu frowned slightly.

In fact, the reason why the discussion at Sony today was in such a strange atmosphere is naturally because the two bosses have different opinions.

Morita Masanoge prefers the Android store, but Takagawa Teruki insists that the app store is the best. Even if the two are friends, neither can convince the other in private, and they can only discuss it in public.

Alas, if only the two eldest ladies and Mr. Liu were willing to come forward, how could there be any disputes?

Morita Masahiro sighed with emotion and said slowly: "Tetsuki is right, the current APPSTORE is indeed the best. But don't forget, Xiao Qi's asking price is very high, and we only hope to occupy 5% now."

ratio, it would cost a total of 11 billion U.S. dollars, which is simply a joke in terms of price-to-earnings ratio!"

"I think it is worth the money. It is precisely because APPSTORE is so good that Xiao Qi is reluctant to give it up." Gao Chuan Teru Shu retorted, "The era of smart electronics has just begun. In the future, Apple, Fairy, Samsung, and SONY will

Developed together, have you ever thought about how much profit the smartphone ownership of at least 500 million will bring to us?

Although Xiao Qi has encountered some difficulties now, I think this is the time for us to build a relationship with him! Think about it, everyone, it is better to provide help in times of need than icing on the cake! As long as we can bundle our smart electronic products with APPSTORE, then

How much sales will our smartphones and smart tablets have? This is a step for SONY to completely go global in the communications field!"

Many senior executives couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this, obviously thinking that what Takagawa Teruki said made sense.

Although SONY is controlled by the Morita family and the Takagawa family, there are still many other shareholders. Today, Takakawa Teruki and Morita Masanoge are seeking support from the middle forces to overwhelm each other.

Seeing this scene, Morita Masashige could only throw out his trump card: "Everyone! Mr. Page, the CEO of GOOGLE, has contacted me. He promised to unconditionally admit us into the Android store, and SONY will always use the Android system for free!

Please think about it, APPSTORE is a closed system, no one can use it except Apple, Fairy and Samsung who have joined it. So what this means is that if SONY is added, we will have to rely on APPSTORE program from now on.

And the game is completely controlled by Xiao Qi!

But joining the Android store is different. First of all, it is free for us to join, and then this Android system is a free system for all mobile phone companies. Just now Teruuki said that APPSTORE has 500 million users, so I can now say that the Android store

There are at least 2 billion users! With so many users, are we still afraid that developers and development companies will keep coming? Once there are more good games and programs, there will naturally be more users, and our sales will also increase.

rise!

By agreeing to the Android Alliance, we not only save ourselves the trouble of developing and optimizing the system, but also can join the world's largest app store with the most users - haven't we seen enough of the victory and defeat of open and closed in the past few decades?

Is it? INTER and ARM, Microsoft and Apple, in the end, openness defeated closedness!"

I have to say that Masanogi Morita's "battle between openness and closure" and the word "free" completely moved the middle power, and they couldn't help but applaud.

Gao Chuan Terusu looked at everyone's expressions, even his own men looked moved, and naturally knew that this time the situation was over.

However, he still had to make a last-ditch effort, "Since everyone is leaning towards Chang Fan's intention, I have nothing to say. But I feel that we can't do it all. It is okay to suspend the transaction to join APPSTORE, but Xiao Qi entrusted

The Ericsson mobile phone patents and wireless communication patents we acquired are of no use to us, so we might as well sell them to Xiao Qi to leave a way out."

"Well, Teruki said it well! We can't completely fall out with Fairy Company." Morita Masashige said, "Except for Japan's wireless communication patent rights, the rest will be sold to Xiao Qi.

Maybe this will be an opportunity for us to have both sides in the future!"

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of joyful laughter in the conference room.

…

KDDI headquarters is in a similar situation.

The representative director of KDDI, Domoto Taro, comes from Toyota Corporation and is closely related by marriage to its powerful family.

Like all cooperatives, as long as there are different factions, there will be many positions.

The previous cooperation with Fairy Company was led by Yusuke Ogawa of the Kyocera Group. Now such a big thing suddenly happened, Taro Domoto finally had the opportunity to come to a meeting to discuss it.

The result of the discussion was, of course, to terminate the DreamStars underwriting contract with Fairy Company. For this reason, KDDI needed to pay Fairy Company a huge compensation of US$20 million.

But it doesn’t matter. This time Taro Domoto dared to do this, naturally for his reasons - after the Android Alliance learned about KDDI’s DreamStars underwriting contract, it immediately contacted KDDI and promised to bring its first smartphone to the market.

I gave my phone to KDDI as a contract phone, and the price and conditions were much more favorable than those of Fairy Company.

Even the compensation of 20 million US dollars was quietly given by the Android Alliance.

Ogawa Yusuke left the meeting angrily, but this could not stop KDDI's senior executives from being optimistic about Fairy Company.

A company that has yet to prove itself in the mobile phone market, although DreamStars looks dazzling, it cannot match the strong positions of Motorola and Nokia.

From another perspective, the Android Alliance's actions against SONY and KDDI are pressing forward step by step, compressing the living space of DreamStars!

How vicious!
