Just when everyone thought that Boss Jia would fly to the United States to find a way to win the lawsuit, Boss Jia wasn't in the United States, but quietly appeared in Tokyo.
When Nobuyuki Ide received Boss Jia's invitation to go to Boss Jia's house for dinner, Nobuyuki Ide's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
But since it was an invitation from the Daqian Group's chairman, Nobuyuki Ide couldn't refuse.
So, on that night, Nobuyuki Ide brought his wife and appeared at the entrance of Boss Jia's manor.
In fact, the two people's houses were very close to each other, they were both in the same district, separated by only two streets. Nobuyuki Ide would even pass by the manor's entrance every day when he went to work. But he never knew that this manor was Jia Yapeng's home in Fusang.
When Nobuyuki Kamui arrived at the entrance of the manor, there was already a beautiful maid waiting at the entrance. She led Nobuyuki Kamui all the way into the manor. Finally, Boss Jia was in the living room, welcoming Nobuyuki Kamui with a smile.
Looking at Boss Jia, Nobuyuki Ide's heart was filled with emotions.
After all, a few years ago, Nobuyuki Ide and Boss Jia were like fire and water, both sides fought until their dog brains almost fell out.
But now, he actually appeared in Boss Jia's house, attending his dinner invitation. This was something that Nobuyuki Ide couldn't even imagine a few years ago.
Of course, a few years ago, the Daqian Group was still a company with a market value of less than 2 billion USD. But now, the Daqian Group's market value was estimated to be more than 20 billion USD. The changes in the past few years made Nobuyuki Ide very emotional.
After all, a few years ago, in Nobuyuki Ide's opinion, Jia Yapeng was just a somewhat bold and lucky Hua Xia.
But now, Jia Yapeng was already a world-famous entrepreneur. In Fusang, some people even thought that Jia Yapeng could be compared with the business gods Matsushita Konosuke and Morita Akio. After all, the speed of those two making money wasn't as fast as our Boss Jia.
Who could imagine that this young man in front of him, seven years ago, he was just a young master who didn't even finish college, and accepted a debt of 200,000 RMB?
The changes in the world really made people feel somewhat at a loss.
Thinking about these things in his heart, Nobuyuki Ide couldn't help but be lost in his thoughts, he even forgot how to sit down, until his wife pushed his shoulder, Nobuyuki Ide, Nobuyuki Ide to recover.
"This is a dish, I've specially invited a chef from Hua Xia.. I don't know if it will be to your liking!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Only then did Nobuyuki Idei realize that on the huge table in front of him, there were actually more than 30 different dishes placed.
However, there were only four people sitting at the table.
Nobuyuki Ide smiled, stretched out his chopsticks, and took a bite of the braised sea bass closest to him.
This was originally just a polite action, but after Nobuyuki Ide took a bite, he couldn't help but want to take another bite. When he realized how rude his action was, Nobuyuki Ide had already taken four or five bites.
It couldn't be helped, Nobuyuki Ide had never eaten such delicious food before.
Although there were many Chinese restaurants in Fusang, in fact, those Chinese restaurants were based on the taste of Fusangpeople, and the dishes were improved. Nobuyuki Ide really didn't try this kind of national banquet level Hua Xia food.
And if the braised sea bass was so delicious, then how delicious would the other dishes be?
Nobuyuki Ide looked at the other dishes on the table, and he couldn't help but drool, but Fusangpeople generally only take the food in front of them, and they would never stretch their arms to take the food. In the eyes of Fusangpeople, this was a very rude thing to do.
So even though there were more than 30 dishes on the table, Nobuyuki Idei could only taste the three dishes in front of him. This made Nobuyuki Idei feel a little depressed.
"Ijui-kun, do you know why I invited you here today?" Seeing Nobuyuki Ide's expression, Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Jao-kun, don't talk when eating, don't talk when sleeping, it's wrong to talk when eating!" Nobuyuki Ide said. This is the tradition of Fusangpeople, it's best not to talk when eating.
"This is not the custom of Hua Xia people. In Hua Xia, a lot of big deals and deals are done face to face at the dinner table!" Boss Jia said with a smile. "As the saying goes, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Since Ijui-kun is in my house, then follow my rules. Let's settle this matter at the dinner table today!"
"Fine! May I know why Jao-kun invited me here? " Nobuyuki Ide sighed. Although he doesn't like to negotiate at the dinner table, but since Boss Jia asked, he can't refuse, because this is also Fusang's rule.
The guest should follow the host's wishes, this rule exists in every country.
"It's simple. I hope Sony Music can withdraw from this lawsuit and issue a public statement to support our Daqian!" Boss Jia laughed.
"That's impossible!" Nobuyuki Ide said straightforwardly. Although he had guessed that Boss Jia is looking for him because of this matter, but when Boss Jia said his request, Nobuyuki Ide was still shocked.
He thought Boss Jia only wants to settle with Sonia privately. He did not expect Jia Yapeng's request to be even more excessive. This made Nobuyuki Ide very unhappy. This Jia Yapeng is too arrogant. Does he think he can betray his company just because of a table full of delicious food?
"Ijui-kun, have you thought about what will happen if our Daqian loses the lawsuit?" Boss Jia asked.
"Of course, you will compensate us for our losses and ban the production of MP3 players forever!" Nobuyuki Ide raised his head and said proudly.
"We are only the producer of the product and not the supplier of pirated content. That's why your chances of winning the lawsuit are not high."
"Even if you win, and our Daqian loses everything, according to your lawsuit, we will have to compensate 1.2 billion USD. How much will Sony get?"
"I have seen your lawsuit. According to the agreement, 1 billion USD will go to the United States Recording Industry Association, and the remaining 200 million USD will be distributed among the 28 companies. Sony will only get 5% of this 200 million USD, which is only 10 million USD. This amount is nothing to you all!" Boss Jia laughed. Nobuyuki Ide was speechless when it comes to the distribution of the compensation.
In fact, at the beginning, they had proposed a compensation of 200 million USD. In the end, after the Recording Industry Association of America proposed to sue together, they considered that it was easier for the local tyrant to do things. In the United States, they still had to rely on the Americans. Therefore, the entire lawsuit was handed over to the Recording Industry Association of America.
But who would have thought that the Recording Industry Association would increase the compensation of 200 million USD to 1.2 billion USD, and the extra 1 billion USD would all belong to the Recording Industry Association.
Although after the agreement was changed, Sony and other companies will not receive any compensation, but this method is too despicable. That's why Nobuyuki Ide was not happy about this.
But the compensation itself is not important. The most important thing is to ban Daqian from producing MP3 players.
After all, the world's biggest portable music equipment manufacturer was Sony. If they can get rid of MP3 players, then Sony's market share will be stabilized. They do not need to develop new products anymore. No matter how Feng Yu looked at it, this was the best thing for Sony. This was what Sony valued the most.
Money was really not important.
