Chapter 369: The "Sage of Management" who was so angry that he died?

Michael Jackson is definitely the King of Pop who cannot be replaced, but his influence in the world is amazing. In terms of fans, I am afraid that besides Zhang Yi, he has the most fans nowadays.

He jumped to Zhang Yi's Rolling Stone Records, and his influence is definitely not just that Rolling Stone Records has another pop king.

As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a sensation around the world. Sony undoubtedly became the object of ridicule by others.

When Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, Zhang Yi's Jiying Films took the opportunity to poach people and almost paralyzed Columbia Pictures. The two film companies immediately became enemies and started a war of words.

Of course, if the reason for the feud between the two companies is investigated, it comes to the grudge between Zhang Yi and the Japanese conglomerate. However, no matter how they feuded, the two film companies have resisted anyway.

Although Columbia Pictures has just been acquired by Sony, it is an established film company in Hollywood after all. Although Zhang Yi's Jiying Film Company is only a new film company, it is definitely a cutting-edge company in Hollywood and has a very strong foothold. Although it does not have the same background.

, but its strength is strong. Whether it is its achievements at the box office or at the Oscars, it is remarkable.

The two film companies resisted. Colombia invested more than 100 million US dollars to shoot "Godzilla", while Jiying Film Company only invested more than 70 million US dollars to shoot "Independence Day", but the script was written by Zhang Yi, who won the Oscar

Written by the man who won the best screenplay three times.

Everyone likes to watch the excitement. This kind of battle between two companies, especially two movie companies, is undoubtedly exciting. Therefore, many good people have their eyes wide open and are ready to feast their eyes on it.

It really made them satisfied. Whether it was the scolding between the two film companies before the film was released, or the film itself, they were not disappointed. However, the result was a bit disappointing to them because the disparity was so huge.

It's too big. And it's too subversive. "Godzilla," a movie with big investment, big production and big publicity, has never done as well as Jiying Film Company's "Independence Day."

, and they are far apart.

The competition was not fierce, and the winner was decided within two days. For the good people, it was inevitable that they would be a little disappointed. However, they were immediately exposed to the new world, especially those good media.

Zhang Yi not only took Sony's product market, especially the electronic product market to a shootout. Now, in the movie, Sony has no way to fight back. He lost money and lost face. Now he is even more silent.

The record company's "money printing machine" was poached.

This is like slapping someone in the face and cutting off their roots.

It is said that Akio Morita of Sony vomited a mouthful of old blood when he heard that Michael had jumped ship, fired several senior executives, and then went to the hospital. He probably does not have much life left.

This time it seemed that he was really angry. I think back then, when he lost hundreds of millions of dollars to Zhang Yi without even frowning, he was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital.

A good media reported that on the day Akio Morita was admitted to the hospital, he received a greeting phone call from Zhang Yi. As for what was said, it is impossible to verify. There was no reply from the two parties involved. I only know that

After answering the phone, Akio Morita vomited a mouthful of blood. It was said that he only had half his life left.

However, things seemed to have gone a little awry because of the appearance of Zhang Yi. This old man who still had several years to live, failed to persist until October 1999 and died.

"Uncle Six, what are you doing?" Zhang Yi looked at Shao Daheng with some confusion and asked.

Shao Daheng did not speak, but handed over a newspaper and said, "I guess you didn't read the newspaper. You don't know the news yet!"

"What news?" Zhang Yi smiled, but when he took a closer look at the newspaper, he was surprised.

This is just a gossip tabloid, and its circulation in Hong Kong is not very high, but what surprised Zhang Yi was the headline on the front page of this issue. A line of large characters was very conspicuous, and it read: Japan's "Sage of Management" Akio Morita

death!

Under this line of big characters, there is a bright red sentence, which reads: In ancient times, there was Kong Mingqi and Zhou Yu, and today there is Zhang Yi and Qi Zhaofu!

This report tells the story of Akio Morita, the honorary chairman of Sony, who was so angry that he went to the hospital and passed away yesterday, January 30, 1991, at the age of 70.

Naturally, this report is not to commemorate Akio Morita, Japan's "Sage of Management" who is as famous as Japan's "God of Management" Konosuke Matsushita. Instead, it is an inference about the cause of his death.

And the result, of course, is as the title says, Zhang Yi was pissed to death.

The report sorted out the grievances between Zhang Yi and Sony, and it was extremely logical to say that Zhang Yi was so angry that he killed Akio Morita.

Zhang Yi and Akio Morita naturally met on the opening day of the Guoshu Building in Los Angeles. And during that meeting, Akio Morita directly lost hundreds of millions of dollars to Zhang Yi. After that, the grudge between the two gradually increased due to the interests.

The grudge is naturally that the products of Zhang Yi's technology companies have had a huge impact on the market of Sony's products around the world, and have even directly replaced Sony's market in some regions.

In electronic products, the competition between the two is bloody.

And this competition immediately extended to film and television.

When Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, Zhang Yi was behind the scenes and was tricked into acquiring Columbia Pictures. He spent hundreds of millions of dollars more than expected to acquire Columbia Pictures. Moreover, Zhang Yi was also put in a difficult position in terms of public opinion, and had to spend a lot of money.

Make a big investment to shoot a big production.

As a result, this big production was sniped by a movie produced by Zhang Yi's Jiying Film Company, which failed both at the box office and in terms of reputation. However, their failure served as a foil to the success of Jiying Film Company. The gap was so huge that it made me sad.

What just happened to be that Zhang Yi actually stabbed Sony again at this time. To make matters worse for him, he poached Sony Records' "money printing machine" and turned the entire Sony into a

joke.

Akio Morita, who had not suffered such a failure in decades, actually suffered a defeat at the hands of a young man in his twenties. He was so angry that he went to the hospital.

After entering the hospital, it was rumored that Zhang Yi called to "sympathize". Any person who is not a fool would know that condolences were just an excuse for Zhang Yi to call Akio Morita to anger him.

As for what was said, it is impossible to know. However, after answering Zhang Yi's call, Morita Akio vomited a mouthful of old blood and fell unconscious after hanging up the phone. He persisted for more than half a month and then hung up.

"What did you say on the phone to make that old guy so angry?" Shao Daheng asked curiously when he saw Zhang Yi put down the newspaper.

"Uncle Six, you don't think that guy was pissed off by me, right? How could Morita Akio be so narrow-minded and narrow-minded when he has such achievements? How could he be pissed off by my few words!" Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He said somewhat helplessly.

Why the hell does this feel like being shot. An old man in his seventies died, and he was actually related to me.

"You are right. Those who can do great things will never be narrow-minded. But don't forget, that guy is now in his seventies. His mental capacity is not as strong as it was back then." Shao Daheng shook his head with a smile and said, "What's more,

, don’t tell me that after he entered the hospital, you called him to really express your condolences and wish him a speedy recovery. Don’t say I don’t believe it, I believe no one in the world will believe it.”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that a call from him would actually lead to trouble.

"Uncle Liu, don't believe me. I really wish him a speedy recovery. Lin Xiao and the others can testify to this." Zhang Yi said with a serious face. What he said is true, but there are more words behind wishing him a speedy recovery.

Just some words.

"Come here. You speak Japanese, but Lin Xiao and the others don't. Only you know what you said." Shao Daheng rolled his eyes at Zhang Yi, and then asked curiously, "What did you say when you called me?

What?"

"I really wish him a speedy recovery!" Zhang Yi said.

"I don't believe it!" Shao Daheng immediately shook his head and said two words.

"I really wish him a speedy recovery. Because I plan to open a branch of the Chinese Martial Arts Building, as well as a technology company, a film and television company, a record company, etc. in Japan, and I will invite Michael Jackson as a guest performer. If he doesn't recover soon, how can he come to participate?

?" Zhang Yi said.

"Pfft! Cough cough cough." When Shao Daheng heard this, he spit out a sip of water while he was drinking tea, coughed twice, and then said, "You're just knocking on someone's doorstep, and you're pretending to invite them to participate.

No wonder he was so angry that he vomited blood. Are you really going to open a branch in Japan now?"

"I told him a few years later!" Zhang Yi said lightly.

"A few years from now! You kid..." Upon hearing this, Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi dumbfounded and said, "You wish him a speedy recovery and attend the opening of your branch, but the opening is actually still a few years away.

Aren't you wishing him to stay in the hospital for a few years in disguise? It seems that he is really pissed off by you."

"Uncle Six, please don't talk nonsense. When I called you, it was half a month ago. This matter rests on me, so there are some who want to blame me." Zhang Yi said quickly. (Unfinished)
