Chapter 352 Pillow Business
Record company? Hearing the question from the Warner president, Shirakawa Feng paused for a moment.
“As a brand manufacturer in the audio-visual field, Shirakawa Electric will indeed have more exchanges with the entertainment industry in the future.
So, what advice do you have on this, Chida-san?"
Baichuan Feng didn't say whether he was interested or not, but left the topic to the other party.
"Warner Music is one of the largest record companies in the world, and in addition to its headquarters in the United States, it also actively develops business overseas.
Neon is the most valued region among Warner's overseas markets, and in the future, the headquarters will invest more energy and resources to cultivate the Neon market."
Naoto Chida and Kaede Shirakawa talked as they walked. As a sea turtle, he knew the situation of Warner headquarters very well.
At this moment, he was introducing some basic information about Warner to Baichuan Feng, and the latter just listened quietly without saying anything.
“In recent years, Japan’s record market has grown significantly, and while operating the market, Warner also wants to develop deeper cooperation with local companies.
Such as artist agencies, content publishers, and top audio-visual brands.”
At this point, Chida Naoto turned his gaze to Shirakawa Kaede, "The brand effect of Shirakawa Electric is obvious to all. It not only has many loyal users, but is also almost on par with Sony in the field of technology.
In the future development, has Mr. Shirakawa considered combining with entertainment content manufacturers to bring more beneficial development layout to Shirakawa Electric?"
Having said this, Baichuan Feng no longer understood what he meant.
To be honest, has Baichuan Feng really never considered the audio-visual entertainment industry?
That's not necessarily true, but Warner...
“Excuse me, Chida-san, but when it comes to audio-visual brands, Pioneer seems to be equally well-known.
If I understand correctly, Pioneer and Warner seem to be cooperating very well now.”
You say a lot of things, but have you not noticed that the word "pioneer" is in your name?
Naoto Chida understood what he meant. Warner already had a cooperating audio-visual brand.
Isn't it a bit contradictory to say such things to Baichuan Feng now?
When he heard Shirakawa Kaede mention the word "pioneer", Chida Naoto felt a little embarrassed, but the discomfort only lasted for a moment.
“Pioneer is indeed a well-known brand, but their expertise is in audio-visual technology.
They may not have a clear understanding of the entertainment industry and the record market, and their style of doing things is not open enough.”
The two entered the office, and Naoto Chida motioned for Shirakawa Kaede to sit down, and then asked his assistant to prepare coffee.
After everything was ready, he let out a long sigh with emotion.
“Although we still have a cooperative relationship, sometimes they always have all kinds of ideas, reasonable or unreasonable.
Mr. Shirakawa, you know, the entertainment industry and the manufacturing industry cannot be lumped together, and the business philosophies are also different .
So…" Chida Naoto leaned forward slightly, looking straight at Shirakawa Kaede, "If your company has any ideas, Warner will definitely welcome them."
The struggle between factions within Warner is extremely complicated, of course the most important ones are the foreign faction and the local faction.
The relationship between Naoto Chida, a member of the foreign capital faction, and the local faction led by Pioneer can no longer be described as "unfriendly".
If it weren't for the fact that they both participated in the investment of the company and had worked together for more than ten years, it wouldn't be surprising to see them fighting.
For example, the signing of the contract with Shirakawa Electric this time seemed to be a happy and peaceful affair to the outside world.
But only Naoto Chida himself knows how many times they had argued internally in meetings before the collaboration.
In the end, Naoto Chida used his status as the company's president to force everyone to obey his orders.
There is also a big disagreement among the departments under Akina Nakamori's idol planning route.
Some insist on going the "rebellious, bad girl" route, while others want to go the pure girl route.
Naoto Chida may not be involved in all these matters, but there is a sense of disharmony from top to bottom in Warner, which has now subtly affected Warner's daily decision-making.
So he wanted to kick Pioneer out and replace it with a more obedient partner.
It would be even better if the brand partner doesn’t know much about the entertainment or music industry.
Naoto Chida looked at Shirakawa Kaede in front of him with burning eyes. He felt that he had found a brand to replace Pioneer.
Shirakawa Denki has a good reputation and seems to have never been involved in the entertainment industry, which would be great.
A partner who doesn’t know much but is very rich is simply the dream partner.
However, unlike Chida Naoto's enthusiasm, Shirakawa Kaede did not show any sign of being moved, but instead acted awkwardly.
“Chida-san also knows that Shirakawa Electric is currently just a pure electronics manufacturer.
The board does not have a strategic plan for the entertainment business at this time.”
Do you really think I don't know anything about Warner's internal affairs? Not only are the factions fighting each other to death, but they are also trying to use Shirakawa Electric as a scapegoat.
In addition, if Naoto Chida wanted to find an obedient partner, he was making a wrong idea.
With Baichuan Feng's strength, how could he be manipulated by others? Even if he wanted to enter an industry, he would not give up easily without taking the leading position.
Considering Warner's current attitude towards Pioneer, will it be the same towards Shirakawa Electric in the future?
Factional struggles are the main culprit for internal friction in enterprises.
Shirakawa Electric has been trying its best to avoid such things, so why would it take the initiative to jump into the fire pit now?
When Naoto Chida heard what Shirakawa Kaede said, he nodded regretfully.
"Yeah, that's a shame."
What board of directors? You must be kidding. Don't think I don't know who has the final say in Shirakawa Electric.
Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, Naoto Chida still had a smile on his face as he chatted with Shirakawa Kaede about various interesting stories.
Alas, what a pity, this fat sheep didn't fall into the trap.
You want to deceive me? You old man are really bad.
The two of them complained in their hearts, but still smiled.
In his heart, Shirakawa Feng secretly gave Mr. Chida a middle finger, but for the sake of orders from his own CD factory, he was always ready to offer flattering words.
It's all about business.
"If your company considers entering the record industry in the future, please consider Warner's sincerity."
"Definitely," Baichuan Feng agreed hypocritically.
"By the way, if you have time, Mr. Shirakawa, why don't we have a drink together tonight.
You can invite Miss Akina Nakamori to go with you then. I'm sure she will be grateful for your help, too."
As he said this, Naoto Chida gave a rather ambiguous look and said, "Little guy, let's see if you can fall into my beauty trap."
He knew about Baichuan Feng's reputation as a playboy, and the photos previously published in the newspapers had already said it all.
I didn't expect that Mr. Shirakawa would spend so much money. It takes a lot of money to cross the river with three ships.
Oh, it’s great to be young.
But if you like beautiful women, that’s easy.
As a newcomer, Akina Nakamori can play her best role.
Moreover, it is said that the reason why Shirakawa Electric chose the newly debuted Akina Nakamori was because of the order given by Mr. Shirakawa himself.
In that case, let's arrange for Akina Nakamori.
When Naoto Chida's plan failed, he came up with another one.
As for business, it cannot be done seriously. The dinner table is the most suitable place for it.
But after hearing what he said, Baichuan Feng was stunned.
Is this... pillow business?
Shirakawa Kaede's expression was a little strange, but he responded to Chida Naoto's kindness quite straightforwardly.
"You can drink, but Miss Akina Nakamori doesn't have to."
"Eh, why?" Naoto Chida looked at him in confusion.
"Because Miss Akina is only 17 years old, she can't drink alcohol." Shirakawa Kaede said as a matter of course.
Ah, this... Looking at Shirakawa Kaede's serious expression, Chida Naoto almost believed it.
Do you think this is human language? Do you know that the three boats crossing the river together in the newspaper is the best interpretation of you?
"In that case, let's drink~ drink~" Naoto Chida laughed, then asked his assistant to reserve a seat in Roppongi.
Shirakawa Kaede, who was still unaware of his bad reputation, had no choice but to go to Roppongi with Mr. Chida to experience the one-stop service in Roppongi in order to get the order.
It’s been a long time since I last went there, and I don’t know if there are any new projects in Roppongi recently.
Tsk, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that my own woman is more fragrant.
…
Early in the morning, Baichuan Feng, who had just had a hangover the whole night, sat up with a splitting headache.
"Awake?" A gentle voice came from the door.
Shirakawa Kaede turned around and saw Keiko Matsuzaka, wearing a kimono, walking over with a bowl of sobering soup.
"Drink it, and your headache will be less painful after drinking it."
Baichuan Feng, who was in a daze, took the bowl and took a big bite without thinking.
“Hmm~, why is it so spicy?” He was caught off guard and almost choked.
Phew, seeing how embarrassed he was, Keiko Matsuzaka couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"Slow down," she said with a slight smile and a slightly reproachful tone.
But even though she was laughing, she was still very considerate and took out a handkerchief to wipe the soup stains from the corners of his mouth.
"It's a hangover soup. How can it help you get rid of the hangover if it's not spicy?" Taking the empty bowl from his hand, Keiko Matsusaka carefully brought him a glass of water.
After drinking the water, Baichuan Feng rubbed his temples.
Well, it seems to have some effect. At least I feel much better than before.
Tsk, besides the senior, Keiko Matsusaka is also very good at taking care of others.
Now that his senior has joined the crew to film a movie, he can only find a safe haven in her.
However, compared with the gentleness of her senior, she still has some pride in her heart.
He could understand that a literary young woman might feel a little cold and pretentious from time to time.
People are always complicated. We are not cut from the same mold, so it is normal for our personalities to vary greatly.
Baichuan Feng is not so overbearing as to force everyone to cater to his personality. What's the difference between that and a dictator?
Life is interesting because of its diversity, of course the premise is that you have money~
"Are you still going to the company today?" Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Keiko Matsuzaka asked with some concern.
"Forget it, but Keiko, are you free today?"
Shirakawa Feng had originally planned to go to SIC today, as some new projects there had made progress and were waiting for him to take a look.
But since it's already late, let's go another day.
As for Keiko Matsuzaka, Shirakawa Kaede wanted to take her to visit a friend.
"Eh, me?" Keiko Matsuzaka looked at him in confusion. What did this have to do with her?
"Yes," Shirakawa Feng nodded, "If you have time, let's go to Shibadaimon in the port area."
As he said this, he wanted to get up and pack up. It was almost November, and it was still quite cold to be naked.
"What are you going to do in the port area?" Keiko Matsuzaka asked as she helped him tidy up his clothes.
"Because Tokuma Shoten is there," Shirakawa Kaede said as a matter of course.
"Eh" Keiko Matsusaka was stunned. She thought of the big business.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Baichuan Feng suddenly stopped halfway through putting on his clothes.
"What's the matter?" Keiko Matsusaka came back to her senses and looked at him curiously.
"I forgot about morning exercises." Baichuan Feng said as he took off half of his clothes and became naked again.
Then, amid Matsuzaka Keiko's exclamation, they both rolled onto the bed.
