Chapter 275: Troublemaker
After Ikeguchi Mitsuo, who was leaning on a cane, slowly walked out of the conference room, the people behind him filed out one after another.
"Ozone-san, how are you? I didn't expect you to be in charge of Aihua's business now."
After most people had left, Nakajima Heitaro Kozo who was packing up documents and greeted him.
"Nakajima, you don't need to test me anymore. Aihua's affairs will be handled by others.
I didn't expect that you would become a guest of honor at Shirakawa Electric now."
Ozone Kozo didn't bother to be polite with him and directly called him by his last name.
He had just been scolded by Nakajima Heitaro and suffered a loss for it, so he is still angry.
However, when he heard him say this, Nakajima Heitaro smiled indifferently.
"Mr. Ozone, although I am old, I don't want to retire so early.
I am one of the creators of digital audio. How can I retreat into the background without appreciating its brilliance? "
"That's really exciting. I also want to see what Shirakawa Electric will do in the digital audio field next year."
Sure enough, this guy never gave up his obsession with digital technology, and Sony's original arrangement pushed him to the other side.
However, Ozone Kozo did not regret it. The higher he went, the narrower the road became.
Every fewer competitor means greater chances in the future.
In order to eliminate potential competitors, he doesn't mind using some unconventional means.
For example , the relationship between Nakajima Heitaro and Shirakawa Kaede was exaggerated among Sony executives, and Aiwa's losses were deliberately directed to Nakajima Heitaro.
These and so on are just ordinary little things.
As for whether this may cause losses to Sony, it may be a benefit to Shirakawa Electric.
To be honest he didn't care because he was not young anymore.
If he cannot go any further, his position as director of the cassette player business unit will be the end of his career.
As a descendant of a samurai family, these few tricks mean nothing.
Too lazy to deal with the Shiba Inu face anymore, Ozone Kozo organized the documents in his hand and walked out of the meeting room on his own.
"Ozone-san," Nakajima Heitaro shouted loudly as he looked at his back, and the figure in front of him paused slightly.
"Ikeguchi Mitsuo-san is old after all, and Aihua already has a rotten smell.
Every time I enter this place, I feel the quickness of depravity. What does Ozone-san mean?"
Ozone Yukizo, who was standing at the door, turned his cheek slightly, revealing a half-smile, and then left silently.
This guy is also an old fox.
Through the test just now, Heitaro Nakajima can confirm that the next president of Aiwa will still be someone from Sony.
But it shouldn’t be Ozone Kozo, as he has greater ambitions.
Leaving Sony and coming to Aiwa means being out of the sight of the top management.
Unless he can bring Aiwa's revenue to its historical peak, he will no longer attract the interest of Sony's board of directors.
But if you think about Aihua's current situation and his age, you can basically rule this out.
This kind of thing is difficult to achieve without a few years of practice.
Moreover, when he had just tested his attitude towards Ikegami Mitsuo, he had not received a positive response.
Therefore, Nakajima Heitaro concluded that Ozone Kozo would still focus on Sony's affairs.
However, the other party attended several of Aiwa’s board meetings and even presided over this meeting.
That at least shows that even if he is not the president of Aiwa, his influence within the board of directors cannot be ignored.
Sony is the majority shareholder after all, holding more than half of the board seats.
Nakajima Heitaro looked at Ogawa Hiroshi who was still in an inexplicably excited state beside him, and shook his head. This guy.
"Xiaochuan, let's go."
"Hayi"
Having seen big scenes before, Hiroshi Ogawa immediately followed Heitaro Nakajima and left.
Outside the lobby of Aiwa's headquarters, Nakajima Heitaro glanced at the gloomy sky and the slowly dancing snowflakes.
I couldn't help but sigh to myself, another year has passed.
He took a deep breath, and the biting cold wind shook his spirits again.
He took the windbreaker from Hiroshi Ogawa, put it on casually, and ran straight to the car on the side of the road.
After Hiroshi Ogawa started the car and warm air blew from the air conditioner, Nakajima Heitaro finally relaxed his body.
But he didn't rest for long. As soon as he recovered his spirit, he picked up the car phone and started dialing.
"Moshimoshi, is this Junior Brother Baichuan? ... Hi, everything is going well..."
After hanging up the phone, Nakajima Heitaro finally felt relieved.
"Xiaochuan, go back."
"Hayi"
With his eyes closed, Nakajima Heitaro recalled what Shirakawa Kaede had told him before this trip.
To be honest, when he first heard that Shirakawa Kaede was going to appoint him as the board representative of Shirakawa Electric in Aiwa, Nakajima Heitaro was so shocked that he almost could fit an egg in his mouth.
What kind of cool plot is this, the plot of a revenge novel?
He was just kicked out, and the next thing he knew, he was sitting down as a vested interest behind the scenes, listening to others report to him?
He used to be the one standing in front, but now he is the one sitting down.
The intricacies of the world are truly unfathomable.
Would Nakajima Heitaro refuse such a thing?
Of course not.
It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that things change over time.
But it is true that I am secretly happy in my heart. Although I am quite old, who hasn’t experienced the second child experience?
After receiving the letter of appointment, Nakajima Heitaro was excited and asked Shirakawa Kaede what his attitude should be when attending the Aiwa board meeting.
At that time, Baichuan Feng smiled slightly and only replied him with three words.
Trouble stirrer.
…
In the car, Baichuan Feng put down the car phone and seemed to be thinking about something.
I didn’t expect that Aihua actually planned to invest in Southeast Asia. I have to say that this is indeed a way out.
After the 1980s, the economy of Southeast Asia gradually took its own steps and began to show its presence on the world stage.
Aihua had such a plan in the early 1980s, which was a far-sighted plan.
No, perhaps it can be said that Mr. Ozone from Sony did have foresight.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Nakajima was a troublemaker... Ahem, fortunately, Senior Brother Nakajima actively protected the interests of Shirakawa Electric.
As the third largest shareholder of Aiwa, how could we agree to give up the existing Neon market and bet on Southeast Asia?
Isn’t the money we earn now good? As a shareholder, of course we prefer stability.
Well, Shirakawa Kaede is already considering whether Shirakawa Electric should build a factory in Southeast Asia.
For luxury goods like Walkman, the market there is probably limited.
But radios and tape recorders are okay. Televisions may not be popular there, but it’s not too much to listen to the radio.
Especially for your spiritual hometown, which is such a large market, you can indeed make plans early.
But let's talk about these things next year. It's that Chi Jiu Guangfu Sang who is very scheming.
They wanted to get all the benefits and even forced Sony to provide technical support for their CD players.
It seems that the CD player market will be even more lively next year.
As for Aiwa’s shares, take advantage of the current low period and buy as many as you can.
Through private transactions with certain shareholders and buying on the stock market.
Before we knew it, Shirakawa Electric's stake in Aiwa had exceeded double digits.
Yes, now besides Sony and Ikeguchi Mitsuo's family, Shirakawa Electric is the third largest shareholder of Aihua.
Tsk, I accidentally became the third one.
Obviously, I only intended to invest in it at the beginning, but unfortunately, Aihua didn't live up to the expectations.
"You're already preparing for your vacation, but you're still so obsessed with the company's affairs?"
Baichuan Feng came back to his senses and looked at the person next to him, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Okay, since you've promised Xiaolin, let's not talk about work from now on."
"That's pretty good," Asuka Kobayashi, who was sitting in the back row with him, nodded with satisfaction.
Today is Christmas Eve, and I promised her that we would spend Christmas together.
Baichuan Feng is currently fulfilling his promise and will take a day off tomorrow for himself and her.
For this reason, he turned down invitations to celebrate the festival from his senior schoolmate, Seiko Matsuda, and a certain literary young woman.
Oh, it’s too difficult.
"It's so beautiful." Asuka Kobayashi looked out the window and exclaimed softly.
Baichuan Feng followed her gaze and looked outside. The streets were already filled with a festive atmosphere.
The bright and colorful light beads twinkle on the landscape trees, as if the stars in the sky have fallen to the earth.
There is a puppet dressed as Santa Claus, distributing candies to passers-by and children.
There are also many young people who dye their hair orange or lavender, and wander around the streets like colorful trees.
Behind them, department stores such as Tokyu, Seibu, and Hankyu hung banners saying "Sale", "Great Deals", and "SALE" on the upper floors to launch promotional activities.
The colorful merchandise and low prices attracted people's attention, and the stores were crowded with shoppers.
What a lively picture.
"I didn't expect Japanese people to like Christmas so much."
Baichuan Feng was also infected by the lively scene outside and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, doesn't Shirakawa-kun celebrate Christmas?"
Asuka Kobayashi looked at him strangely. They were both Japanese, so how could they be different?
Baichuan Feng laughed and shook his head.
Christmas? There's no such thing as Christmas in Fawn's place.
As for his previous life, sorry, he had never properly experienced this foreign festival.
“Maybe I’m too busy. I’ve been in Tokyo for a few years, but I’ve never gone shopping on Christmas Eve.
As for my hometown, my uncles and aunts prefer various festivals. "
Asuka Kobayashi nodded. She saw how busy Shirakawa Kaede was and realized that he really didn't have much free time.
“It’s really hard.”
"That's nothing, but I'll leave tonight's dinner to Xiaolin."
"No problem," Asuka Kobayashi nodded confidently, her swollen expression clearly visible in the dim car.
"Eh." Seeing her overflowing self-confidence, Baichuan Feng felt uneasy.
Last year, she made some Valentine's Day chocolates, which left a deep impression on me.
In just one year, my cooking skills shouldn’t have improved that much.
That’s right, this time Kobayashi invited Shirakawa Kaede to his home to celebrate the festival.
Then you will most likely have to take care of your own dinner, in which case...
Baichuan Feng swallowed, hoping it wasn't too bad.
