Chapter 79 Norio Ohgas new acquisition(2/2)
Beta format video tapes are still used by some users who have the highest requirements for image quality, but the disproportionate number of video tapes in the two formats on the market has declared Sony's failure in this war.
It seems that Sony has spent a lot of effort to develop the market, but it only gets the most delicious chocolate sauce on the ice cream sundae. The largest amount of ice cream is occupied by the VHS format of JVC, Panasonic, and Hitachi Alliance.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sony’s president, Mr. Morita, was very sad about this failure. He summed up his experience, mainly because Sony’s film library was not enough. If he could own enough
Classic movie copyrights, then Beta format video tapes will exclusively own the best classic movies.
Recently, Sony has been developing new innovations. A new product with a similar concept to the best Walkman sold in America, the Watchman, will be sold in large quantities. Sony has placed its trust in this product.
I have the same expectations as the Walkman.
Dahe took out a small TV set to Ronald and handed it to Ronald.
After pressing the button on the portable TV set, which was not much larger than a Walkman, the TV signal appeared on a two-inch display. Ronald pulled out the antenna and tried it. The image and sound were both clear.
There are also some interfaces on the back of the machine that can connect to cable TV signals. The most interesting thing is that there is a socket on the back of this mini TV that can put Beta's small video tape.
"That's all?" Ronald looked at the small TV screen, which was smaller than the TV set in the 1950s. Watching movies on it was just too much.
"Yes, Mr. Morita is very interested in this matter. He told me that the program and the machine are like Sony's two wheels, which must be made to run at the same time. So, I want to hear your opinion on how to make it work."
Don’t Americans resent our acquisition?”
"This...", Ronald thought, how did I know? In Working Girl, Tess took advantage of this antipathy towards you Japanese people and used a legal loophole to block the Japanese people from acquiring American media.
.
Politicians also need to listen to the voice of the people. You Japanese people have a bad reputation in America. When people hear that classic Hollywood movies have Japanese surnames, they will definitely be very disgusted.
Seeing Da He staring at him, Ronald scratched his head. He still had to say a few words when someone came to visit.
"I think in many Hollywood movies, after the Japanese acquired the American company, they began to use Japanese methods to manage production and find Japanese people as managers. There was a movie 'Gong Ho' the year before last.
It was meant to speak favorably for Japanese management, but after it was released, the response was bad. Many people thought your managers were like devils, and those who finished the production quota at the bottom were put on a belt of shame, just like the Germans during World War II...
"
"I know about that movie. My friend at Toyota told me that the movie is a textbook and an example of how to manage American employees."
Once Norio Ohga heard what he said, he knew that what Ronald said was on point. He was indeed a master of both things and the American people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a person like this to be so sensitive.
"Also, we are very concerned about American-style heroes. Our children want to be them since childhood. If our heroes all become Japanese-style heroes in the future, then we will feel very uncomfortable."
"What do you mean?" Dahe wanted to ask for more details.
"Just like the movie I shot, Daniel, the protagonist, has learned some Japanese philosophy, but he is still essentially an American hero who is not afraid of taking risks and has the courage to try.
If you bought a Hollywood studio and made heroes who looked like Toshiro Mifune instead of John Wayne, it would be very uncomfortable. We would ask, what on earth is Pearl... what is that, you know me
mean."
Ronald almost said, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, who won? Since the Americans won, heroes should be shaped according to our philosophy and ideas.
Norio Ohga was thoughtful. After sending Ronald off, he began to draft a report to Mr. Morita.
Hollywood is a proud cultural center that represents America. Any idea of an acquisition that only considers business matters is immature and even harmful. We must use methods that do not touch the sensitive nerves of American politicians and people.
