Chapter 182: meiji restoration (8) in the initial research on blu-ray discs, Sony invested billions of dollars in succession and was willing to invest this amount of money and energy over a period of four years, and was willing to risk losing money (for example, the final Toshiba)
The bet was to be able to control standards
Standard means money printing machine
However, Huang Xuan borrowed 14 billion us dollars and claimed that he had registered countless patents - in fact, he did - in the eyes of the Sony, it was all about getting food out of their mouths
The Sony didn''t need 14 billion dollars, at least not now
Otherwise, they would have done so long ago
Xiuping, Yoshida did not realize how much change Huang Xuan''s patents would bring to the company
After all, he only had a list
It was this list that made him understand what Huang Xuan was doing, that the chinese wanted to surround the Sony with patents, which was unbearable
However, he had to make the call because a week ago, he received a request from the Hexin industries to join the dvd alliance
Of course, this is nonsense
6c will not accept a rich man with only money
However, everyone knows that this is the reason
In just one short week, Hexin industries registered about 1,000 patents again
In the eyes of any normal person, this could not be a new creation, but could only be interpreted as a demonstration
Xiuping, Yoshida felt that he should respond to the other party, 14 billion
There''s always 14 billion dollars across the street
Even so, Xiuping, Yoshida was still a little angry, so he didn''t beat around the bush, but asked directly: Mr
Huang, are you interested in blue light
As if he did not hear the indignation in his words, he simply said, "Yes
" Xiuping, Yoshida sat in his office, half of his coffee on the table, and the translator carefully sat behind him
He did not know that he was calling another plane, which was probably the longest call he had ever made
" I think there are some differences between Hexin industries and Hexin industries in their understanding of the bd market
" Xiuping, Yoshida tried to control his emotions
Then he sat back and turned his head away from Mitsui and Yan qi
He smiled and said," of course, the difference causes the market to split up, and the split brings profits
" Xiuping, Yoshida was not interested in teaching Huang Xuan business ideas
He curled his lips in disdain and said," frankly speaking, Mr
Huang, Sony does not welcome the Hexin industries
"" But you can''t refuse either
" Huang Xuan was equally frank
Yoshida paused for a long time
Huang Xuan waited patiently for him, and at the same time for Mitsui
In his opinion, this was indeed very interesting
" I won''t give the Hexin industries any, any, any authorization
" As a japanese, Yoshida''s style was very open, just like now
Sony has the most basic patent for blu-ray, and Huang Xuan''s patents are based on these patents, just like the lamp holder''s patent for the light bulb
If the Sony does not authorize him to use the light bulb, his patent will naturally be useless
Thinking about this for a long time, Sony, like all japanese-style companies, still has a sense of closeness when facing the world
He originally wanted to rely on Southwest Baer to enter the bd camp, but that acquisition would take at least a month before he could tell Xiuping, Yoshida, otherwise, the company would probably use a series of actions to expel him from the mpge-4 patent
At the very least, americans don''t like the idea of chinese entering the system
The current situation made Huang Xuan a little out of line
On the one hand, he couldn''t tell Xiuping, Yoshida how he could and should join the bd camp
He couldn''t hide himself in at & t right now, but on the other hand, he needed to join the bd camp as soon as possible
In order to get enough technical support and make a big profit in the outbreak of bd
This was a paradox
Huang Xuan thought that yoshida would be more tactful and hesitant
After all, it was 14 billion us dollars to stand with him, but it seemed that Sony''s demand for monopoly was far greater than the profit itself
This made huang xuanxian unprepared
He couldn''t say," then don''t give me authorization
" If so, he couldn''t build a factory within a month of completing the Southwest Baer acquisition plan
After that, it was not certain whether Xiuping, Yoshida would give in, and at this moment, Xiuping, Yoshida was waiting for his reply
He regretted picking up the phone
Thinking about it, huang xuan said in a slow tone," we can talk about Sony patents again
There are many things we can talk about, such as hd
The board of directors of the Sony does not welcome us $ 14 billion
This is beyond my imagination
"" I will convince the board
" Yoshida understood what Huang Xuan meant
He spoke slowly, but in an orderly manner, he said," Sony''s business philosophy is different from that of the Hexin industries
We advocate gradual development, which is the standard
D must be the same
In addition, the new generation of dvd standards can not be solved by 14 billion us dollars
" Like those famous managers, Xiuping, Yoshida was also an american japanese, and his words made it clear that Huang Xuan was talking to oracle
All of a sudden, negotiating with an old fox that had already been prepared made huang xuan li time fall into a passive position
At this time, Mitsui Gaosui also raised his head and said," Huang Officer
" The sound of" Huang Officer" made Huang Xuan''s eyes light up
The way he looked at Mitsui Gaosui changed
Weren''t these two standard japanese businessmen in front of him
He was also one of the strongest businessmen in history
He immediately interrupted Mitsui and whispered," Mr
Yoshida, please wait a moment
" He clicked on the energy screen, paused the call, and pondered," Mr
Mitsui, let me ask you a question
If there''s a japanese man talking to me about business, I want to join his organization
It''s like hiding a house
Hehe, what should I do
"" What do you have
" The answer, of course, was Iwasaki Yataro, who was best at controlling the Chamber of commerce
" I have a way to improve this stash, uh, bring him more profits, make him grow faster, and help defeat its competitors
" Huang Xuan described it in a big way
Iwasaki Yataro smiled and said," I only allow other businessmen to join me in two cases: one, he can find other names to join me, and two, he can provide what the famous people want
Other than that, it''s nonsense
" With a calm face, he thought," something that looks like a foreigner
"" Of course it''s something that the nanman club can''t buy
" With that in mind, she immediately turned around and clicked on the switch, saying," Mr
Yoshida, are you still there
"" Oh, yes
" Yoshida smiled and said," Mr
Huang, before the new conversation, can I make a suggestion for improvement
"" What
"" You borrowed 14 billion us dollars to the Sony, and we paid you an extra 100 million us dollars on the basis of interest
" It was equivalent to giving Huang Xuan an additional 0
7 % interest, and the Sony received a loan of 14 billion us dollars, which would make them laugh at taking advantage of it
However, if huang xuan had no way to make a beneficial investment, the interest on this money could also drag him down
" Changing the target of the loan is a very troublesome thing
" Huang Xuan did not continue to talk about this question, but smiled and said," Mr
Yoshida, just hollywood''s film library and ps3 market, do you think you can beat hd
"" We have our own strategy
" Xiuping, Yoshida''s answer was hollow
While patting his head, he subconsciously thought that hd had already lost, but in fact, the current hd is still alive and kicking
He thought about what Iwasaki Yataro had just said and said," Mr
Yoshida, the market for bd is indeed very big, and the future is very big
I can open up this market for Sony
Think about it
There are so many business users who need large capacity cds, and the Sony is not familiar with these
I can borrow 14 billion us dollars and make 14 billion us dollars for the bd alliance
" He didn''t say cheaper cds would be counterproductive, because Sony''s standard of control was to ensure high profits, because in their view, only when the supporting technology was mature would they be able to lower prices and seize the market, unlike Huang Xuan
They did not intend to drive the dvd out of the market, because Sony was also a member of the 6c alliance, and they could continue to make profits from the low-end market using the dvd, but with very little investment - which was one of the reasons why Xiuping, Yoshida did not like a new company to join
Huang Xuan was not a member of the 6c alliance
He didn''t earn a single cent from the dvd, so he naturally wanted to push for bd with all his might, which was not entirely in line with the interests of the Sony
In other words, the reason people can''t use cheap bd quickly is because Sony wants to squeeze the last drop of juice from the dvd, not entirely because of technology
Without pausing, he deepened his tone
" I know that Sony has always attached importance to the consumer market, but companies such as oracle need more high-capacity cds
The americans don''t just have the us dollar in their hands
They have more patents and high-definition decoding technology
I can create a new market for the company
" If it were another chinese, Xiuping, Yoshida would never believe him, regardless of age
Everyone in japan thought that the relationship between japan and the united states would always be better than that between the united states and china, but Yoshida knew that he could not borrow 14 billion dollars from the united states
Any japanese company might get 14 billion dollars in funding, but it would never get 14 billion dollars in lending - that was a myth
Following grandpa''s example, he said in a bewitching tone," Mr
Xiuping, Yoshida, high-definition movies and better games are the ultimate way out of bd
Business applications are also the same
I can provide the latter and serve the former
Would Sony like to join this feast
" Was he talking about the Sony''s willingness
Instead of the Hexin industries, which made Xiuping, Yoshida laugh, huang xuan was relieved in his heart and secretly said," the japanese know the japanese best
