Chapter 140 Do You Want To Hear My Suggestion?
Chapter 140 Do you want to listen to my advice?
After leaving the conference room, Shirakawa Kaede followed Osone Kozo and walked towards the elevator in the corridor.
"Ding" the elevator door opened and the two of them stepped into the elevator one after the other.
Because they had just confronted each other at the negotiation table, the two of them were alone at the moment, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
"Shirakawa-san, let me give you a piece of advice. Being an enemy of Sony is a very unwise choice, especially for a company that has just started.
Today is a rare opportunity to cooperate with Sony, so please don’t make a mistake, Shirakawa-san.”
Osone Kozo felt that he had given enough face to Shirakawa Electric.
You can buy a patent for 1.3 billion. As for Shirakawa Electric, you can also make a profit by selling Walkmans.
So what, once my local patent is taken away, you won’t be able to sell one, and in the end it will be the same fate as bankruptcy.
In Ōsone Kozo's view, the other party was just not satisfied and wanted to extort a windfall.
For the actual controller of Sony at this time, Shirakawa Kaede still has a sense of admiration in his heart.
Moreover, the price offered just now was too insincere. The reason why Shirakawa Kaede wanted to meet Norio Ohga may not mean that he had no intention of negotiating with someone else.
Norio Ohga obviously knew all about their dispute in the conference room.
"Shirakawa-san is right. Both Sony and Shirakawa Electric hope to have a business environment without future troubles. So..."
The walls of the corridor facing the outside here are directly replaced by pieces of glass curtain walls.
Bai Chuanfeng felt hot, he knew what Norio Ohga wanted to say.
"Ding" the elevator door opened again, and when Bai Chuanfeng came out of the elevator, his vision suddenly became brighter.
However, such a stunning scene only lasted for a short moment, and soon Osone Kozo led him to knock on the door of an office.
He has a Chinese character face and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his face does not have the seriousness and majesty of a superior person.
"Regarding the matter of patents, if you have any suggestions, Shirakawa-san, please just tell me.
"Shirakawa Electric Shirakawa Kaede, I'm sorry for disturbing Oga-san. Please bear with me."
He twitched the corner of his mouth and showed an unclear smile. Sometimes being acquired may not be a bad thing.
Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of Tokyo's endless flow of people and vehicles, as well as the scattered high-rise buildings.
With a trace of inquiry, Bai Chuanfeng happily agreed, and the two came to the spacious and bright reception area and sat opposite each other on the sofa.
For Sony, this sentence is indeed what it desires, because its research and development capabilities are indeed worthy of anyone at this moment.
Negotiation, to put it bluntly, is a method used only when each other cannot do anything about the other.
It's just that Shirakawa Electric followed Sony and launched the Walkman. So what he just said was a bit ironic.
Norio Ohga nodded, that's true, at least the other party's earphones are very thoughtful.
But for Shirakawa Electric, Norio Ohga looked at the figure opposite with a smile.
If the patents are directly sold to overseas local companies, Sony will be in even greater trouble.
Kozo Osone stayed by his side, and his assistant went to prepare coffee.
So I’ll remind you directly, so there’s no need to repeat those meaningless remarks.
"That's right, Sony has licensed Shirakawa Electric's patents for the domestic market, and Shirakawa Electric has licensed Sony's patents for overseas markets."
Shirakawa Kaede glanced at him, then at Oosone Kozo beside him, and said with a smile.
Is such a suggestion worth it? Sony gave up the idea of acquisition.
When you have confidence in your products, a worry-free business environment where your products can shine will be your greatest help.
Norio Ohga looked at Shirakawa Kaede, wanting to hear what advice he would come up with next.
Being able to let go of worries and concentrate on operating the market. For many companies, this is indeed the most ideal situation.
Shirakawa Kaede nodded, and he naturally understood the other meaning behind Norio Ohga's words.
Sony is not a company that is so overbearing that it cannot even listen to suggestions for cooperation, but the prerequisites for all these must be reasonable."
The protagonist in the photos, without exception, is Norio Ohga sitting behind the desk.
"Oh?" Norio Ohga took a sip of coffee and showed an interested expression, "Shirakawa-san, why don't you tell me what we have in common?"
Not only Norio Ōga, but even Kozo Ōsone, who had been silent, was surprised.
On the contrary, Shirakawa Kaede even felt that the layout here was full of artistic flavor.
It is indeed a place close to the top of Sony. Just standing here, the heroic feeling of wanting to hold the world in my arms arises spontaneously.
Cooperation? Yes. But such cooperation in acquisition is quite unfriendly, at least for Shirakawa Electric.
"Click" an assistant opened the door, bent down and motioned for them to enter.
After bowing to each other and nodding, Bai Chuanfeng also walked into the office.
Norio Ohga has a cheerful and enthusiastic side, but he is also shrewd as a businessman.
Bai Chuan feels that this is the most ideal or most desirable business environment for a company."
However, the top management is concerned about their reputation and is also worried that doing so will make the other party think of losing everything.
Norio Ohga's eyes lit up, this seemed okay.
You must have asked to see me not to quarrel with me.
Since we’re here today, it’s time to talk about everything together, please sit down.”
Hearing what Osone Kozo said, Shirakawa Kaede smiled, "Thanks to Osone-san for reminding me, Shirakawa Electric welcomes any friendly communication and cooperation."
"Both Sony and Shirakawa Electric want a business environment that is free of future troubles.
Facts have proved that this is the case. On the desk in front of me, there are photos of various live performances of classical music.
If you think about it this way, each of them is equal and innovative, but they also think about the good things of the other.
Norio Ohga glanced at Shirakawa Kaede in surprise. This young man was very confident.
But these are nothing to the thick-skinned Shirakawa Kaede.
At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly praise these words.
And the fact that Shirakawa Kaede can sit here is also his recognition of the strength of Shirakawa Electric.
Even from the beginning, Kozo Osone advocated that Shirakawa Electric's patents should be ignored and sold directly overseas.
"Sony wants overseas markets, and Shirakawa Electric wants local development. The two are not contradictory. On the contrary, they have one thing in common."
"Shirakawa-san is indeed young and promising. I have long wanted to see what kind of young man can stump Sony.
Osone Kozo didn't say anything about Shirakawa Kaede's pointed reply.
On the contrary, when Bai Chuanfeng looked over, the other party was also looking at him with a smile.
"Although Oga-san and Shirakawa Electric started late, they are not without their own ideas."
What he wants to hear is valuable advice, but it must be "reasonable" and not discussed with the intention of blackmailing.
The feeling he gave Bai Chuanfeng was very different, at least it was very different from the serious, cold and decisive person he imagined to be the leader of a large enterprise.
But the premise is that the company has its own creativity, or R&D capabilities.
He has a certain frankness in his words, but he is by no means careless.
Some people within the company have suggested that Sony also launch headphones similar to this style.
"Mutual grant of patents?"
Contrary to expectations, the decoration style of this office is not very business-style.
"So..., each other will grant patents to each other!" Bai Chuanfeng said word by word.
Enterprises can let go of worries and concentrate on operating the market.
But it sounds like Sony has taken a big advantage. After all, the scale of the overseas market and the local market cannot match at all.
Would the other party be so kind? Norio Ohga looked at Shirakawa Kaede suspiciously.
Although it was their first meeting, Norio Ohga could conclude based on what he just said that Shirakawa Kaede was definitely not the one who suffered the loss.
Sure enough, Baichuan Feng added with a smile, "Of course, considering the disparity in the markets between the two sides, Baichuan Electric needs hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation."
