"What did you say? Sony's Director asked you to contact me? He wants to meet me? Huh? He is Sony's Chairman's son? Do you know what he wants? " Feng Yu was puzzled. Sony does not treat him as an enemy or a friend. Why does he want to meet him?
"Boss, I think Ichirou Takugi wants to cooperate with us. Some of Sony's technologies are the most advanced in the world, and I think we should have a discussion. "
Feng Yu thought for a while and wanted to reject. But Sony is still powerful in some industries. If Sony is willing to follow his lead and be his follower, there should be no problems.
"Then you can represent me to talk to Sony first. I will be visiting AIWA these few days, and you can let me know the progress. "
Two days later, Feng Yu arrived in Tokyo and saw Masao Kameda with an embarrassed expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Boss, I think it is impossible for us to cooperate with Sony. That Ichigo is too arrogant. He thinks Sony is one of the top consumer electronics companies in the world, and his conditions are ridiculous."
Kameda Masao is also a Japanese, and he is happy to see Japanese companies developing. After all, Kameda Masao was a national brand that the Japanese were proud of.
But now, he is the Chairman of Wind and Rain Holdings, and he has to put Wind and Rain Holdings' interests first. Wind and Rain Holdings' AIWA and Wind and Rain Games are competitors with Sony. Also, Wind and Rain Holdings' interests represent Masao Kameda's interests.
Of course, in the face of profits, competition can also be turned into cooperation. After all, there are many companies in the consumer electronics industry, and many of them are very powerful. The market is getting bigger, and it's not a bad idea to work together to get rid of others.
But Masao Kameda did not expect Ichigo to be so arrogant. His conditions are ridiculous, and he is acting like he is giving charity to Sony.
Masao Kameda could not understand why Sony would send someone like Ichigo over. Does Sony have no capable people? Or is it because his father is Sony's Chairman, Ichigo Ryoken?
"Oh, what conditions did he propose?"
"Sony really wants to cooperate with us. Not only Wind and Rain Holdings' subsidiaries, but also Taihua Holdings' subsidiaries. He said that Sony can use their game console technologies, DVD technology, MP3 technology, flash memory technology, digital camera technology, mobile phone technology, LCD screen technology, etc. to exchange for our technologies. "
"What kind of exchange? Exchange all the technologies?"
"One for one. We will discuss the relevant technologies in detail," replied Masao Kameda.
Feng Yu was so angry that he almost laughed. One for one? In terms of DVD, Wind & Rain Electronics is the leader. Wind & Rain Electronics's DVD Forum's technologies are compatible with Sony and other DVD alliances' technologies. More than 80% of DVD drives are using their standards and technologies. Why should they change?
Exchanging one hundred dollars for one hundred yen? Who do you think you are?
Most MP3 companies are still trying to imitate Aiwa. Although Sony does not want to imitate Aiwa, Aiwa's design concepts and development direction had been leading them all along.
Even Samsung's YP or Apple's iPod cannot exchange with Aiwa, let alone Sony.
Everyone's flash drive technology is about the same, and Sony is catching up fast in USB drives. They had successfully developed USB drives using SD card technology, which is the same technology they used on MP3 players.
There is nothing to exchange, as everyone has their own strengths. But in terms of small cards, TF cards are half the size of SD cards, and this is an advantage.
Although the SD card had already been launched with 256 MB, and it was said that the 512 MB card was about to be successfully developed, so what? The research and development funding for the TF card had just increased, and it would take at most two years for it to catch up with the capacity of the SD card. TF cards can replace SD cards, but SD cards cannot replace TF cards.
That's why Feng Yu will never agree to this exchange. After the 512MB technology matures, they will license the 128MB patents to other manufacturers to earn money. This will let more manufacturers join the TF card industry. Many DVD forum companies had contacted Aiwa Electronics, wanting to buy this patent or license it.
Sony is the leader in digital camera technologies. Even though Feng Yu had bought Kodak's technologies, he is still behind Sony.
After Feng Yu bought Kodak's technologies, he sold them to two other Chinese camera companies to recover some of his costs. Anyway, they can use these technologies according to the contract.
If Sony had told Feng Yu earlier, Feng Yu might still agree to cooperate with them. But with Kodak's technologies, it is enough. Everyone is researching in different directions, and two Chinese camera companies are doing research on this technology. They had received investments from the government, and Feng Yu might catch up to Sony. In the future, Sony's digital camera will also be overtaken by other Japanese companies.
Feng Yu will never trade with Nokia's mobile phone technologies. If Nokia is willing to exchange their triple defense technologies with Wind and rain mobile phones, Feng Yu might consider it. But Feng Yu does not care about Sony's mobile phone technologies!
If Sony had not cooperated with Ericsson in the future, their mobile phone business would have been gone. Even so, Sony can only be considered struggling at death's door. In the end, it will disappear in the river of history. Hua Xia's Ham Sausage mobile phone is better than Hua Xia's.
Feng Yu is interested in LCD display technologies, but he is not interested. On the other hand, Feng Yu had been eyeing Sony's plasma technologies for a long time.
If Sony is willing to exchange their plasma technologies, Feng Yu can negotiate.
"Go and speak to Sony. If Sony is willing to exchange their plasma technologies, we can negotiate. I am not interested in other technologies!"
The plasma technologies are split into two alliances. The Japanese alliance is controlled by Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Nippon, Pioneer, etc. The other alliance is the Korean alliance, which is controlled by Samsung and LG. In Hua Xia, only Changhong is researching this technology, and it is not doing well. Some Taiwanese companies are also researching this technology. As for the Western countries, Thomson and Sharp are also researching this technology. But their standards are about the same as Changhong.
If Sony can exchange this technology and hand it over to Changhong, Changhong will be more competitive internationally.
Masao Kameda passed on Feng Yu's message to Ichirou Takugi. Ichirou Takugi is furious. You all are not interested in Sony's technologies? You all think that our Sony is better than you all in plasma technology?
Do you all have plasma technologies? You all want to use LCD technologies to exchange for our LCD + plasma technologies? Dream on!
If you say this, then we are not interested in Wind & Rain Electronics, Aiwa, etc.'s technologies!
I don't believe that Sony will not be able to return to the top if I don't cooperate with you.
