Seeing the richest man smiled meaningfully, Akio Morita immediately woke up, what did the other party mean by "really a lot of pressure"?

As a consensus in the current American society, while RB products are affordable, while RB companies' conquests have also squeezed the living space of American companies, and thus affected American employment. Industries such as automobiles, home appliances, semiconductors, etc. are the best examples.

This confrontational sentiment was even extreme, causing death. In 1982, in Detroit, which was hit by the impact of RB Automobile Company, Chen Guoren, an upcoming Chinese American, was mistaken for RB. He was beaten to death by Ronald Ebans, a workshop director of Chrysler, and his stepson Michael Niz, using a baseball bat. The wedding turned into a funeral a few days later.

In the past two years, the United States has added another trouble, that is, the appreciation of the yen after the signing of the Plaza Agreement has caused the purchasing power of RBs to soar, and they went to the United States to "shop" in a crazily manner, especially the real estate acquisition frenzy in Hawaii, Los Angeles, New York and other places is the most significant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the yen conquers the United States.

After Sony bought the famous Columbia record company from CBS at the end of last year and early this year for $2 billion, it caused discussions and concerns that RB is launching a cultural invasion in the United States.

When rumors spread that Columbia Pictures, whose trademark is like the Statue of Liberty, became Sony's hunting target, American public opinion was immediately in an uproar.

Especially recently, the extremely popular RB "RB Can Say Not" on RB has been recommended to the United States, which further confirms RB's wolf ambitions.

Newsweek, the American weekly magazine, second only to Time, changed the registered trademark of Columbia Pictures to a RB geisha in a kimono on its cover, and paired it with the most eye-catching title "RB Attack Hollywood".

At the same time, News Weekly also published a special issue with dozens of pages under the title "RB Enterprise Buys the Souls of America". In this special issue, based on the results of the public opinion survey, it asserted that Sony's acquisition was a "more terrible threat than the Soviet military power"!

As for other American news media, they also reported on Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures for several days, without exception, strong dissatisfaction with it.

From this perspective, what Tang Huan said was "really stressful", which is pretty solid. But in Akio Morita's view, this is just a fart. He found another greedy excuse for the quotation of $3.6 billion plus the debt of $1.4 billion, which still cannot satisfy the other party's appetite.

Akio Morita gently took off his glasses and wiped them carefully while asking casually: "What price does Sony need to give to make Tang and Coca-Cola withstand this really great pressure?"

Tang Huan did not answer directly, but talked about a rumor, "I heard that media king Rupert Murdoch still did not give up on Hollywood. Columbia Pictures also made him interested and even raised $5.5 billion for it, which led to the stock of Columbia Pictures on the New York Stock Exchange, rising from $27 to $32."

Akio Morita frowned slightly, because the news that Tang Huan said was indeed true, but it came very abruptly, and Rupert Murdoch did not argue, it was really an annoying variable.

Akio Morita, who put on glasses again, sighed softly, "Tang, I believe you have also experienced that in the Western world, we oriental people are more discriminated against. For example, your ea, my Sony, have been sued by Universal Pictures, which wants to take advantage of the situation, for example, in the name of copyright infringement."

Tang Huanshen nodded with consent, but added another sentence in his heart, "But, RBs located in Asia are often used to be condescending to themselves as Westerners."

"So, we should help each other." Akio Morita continued with a heart-warming voice: "After Sony successfully enters Hollywood, the two companies will unite and occupy half of the land, enough to deal with any possible sudden difficulties."

"What President Morita said is exactly what I thought." Tang Huan made a happy and encouraging attitude of "meeting a confidant". "Otherwise, I wouldn't have reminded Sony before that the water in Hollywood is really deep. Besides, you have also seen that the members of the RB group in my group have always been highly valued."

Seeing that the emotional card played really resonated with the effect, Akio Morita, who was silent, followed the situation and tentatively tentatively: "Can Columbia Pictures discuss the offer? Sony can't stand it?"

"Then let's get $4 billion." Tang Huan said seriously: "If it's low, the public opinion pressure in the United States and the possible bidding by Rupert Murdoch will make it very difficult for me to deal with."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan personally added tea to Akio Morita and also played a heart-warming routine. "President Morita might as well think about it. Sony and Columbia Records started a cooperation as early as 1968. But this origin has almost no help to Sony's acquisition of Columbia Records. Even though the offer rose from the initial $1.25 billion to the final $2 billion, its board of directors still decided to transfer the equity of Columbia Records by selling shares publicly. If it weren't for the 'Black Monday' that made their plan ruined, it would be unknown whether Sony could win Columbia Records as it wished."

"Compared with the twists and turns of the acquisition of Columbia Records, we confessed that it is much more straightforward in the negotiations of Columbia Pictures. As long as we complete this last round of negotiations, Sony will be able to improve the film and television maps in the entertainment industry through Columbia Pictures, and there will be no accidents."

"Aren't you worried that Sony will give up its plan to acquire Columbia Pictures or change another goal?" Akio Morita muttered angrily.

Tang Huan smiled confidently, "Once Sony's luxury sports car to promote its strategy is activated, only by moving forward bravely can it be pleasing to the eye."

The richest man's answer is quite tactful.

You should know that since Akio Morita participated in the co-author of "RB Can Say No", his RB national sentiment can be seen from it. And who among the RB people who have acquired a lot of money in the United States does not have a proud feeling? Sony is naturally no exception.

The acquisition plan of Columbia Pictures, which has been incited by the media, has made Sony as powerful as a tiger. If it does not take over this company that owns the trademark of the Statue of the United States, then the higher Sony was once praised on RB, it would be thrown away. The losses of such intangible assets can never be afforded.

Tang Huan added righteously: "I have always been very nice to my friends. Brunei Sultan Hassanal Borkiya took a fancy to the investment value of the famous Beverly Hills hotel in Los Angeles. Without saying a word, I immediately sold it to the Brunei Investment Bureau with adult beauty. So, I really hope Sony will make a smooth move into Hollywood."

"The premise is to give enough money." Akio Morita, who was not fooled, despised him in his heart.

This Sony founder has a special database for recording various information about important relationship customers, and Tang Huan is naturally in it.

In the eyes of industry insiders, the richest man is unparalleled in making money. When the original owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel passed away, his two daughters went to court to fight for property and divided the winner. In 1986, he took action at the right time and bought the hotel for $135 million in the name of the family, so that the winner would be reluctant to cash out and leave and enjoy the purity.

Turning around, Tang Huan sold the Beverly Hills hotel to the Brunei Investment Bureau that he wanted was US$250 million. Brunei Sultan Hassanal Borkiya also needs a favor. This is what the richest man calls "friendship loyalty"!

When Tang Huan heard Tang Huan say, "Sony's acquisition of Colombia has received support from the five major banks such as Mitsui, Tokyo, Fuji, Mitsubishi, and RB Industrial Bank, what else can hesitate?", Akio Morita nodded helplessly and said, "Then let's make a decision, $4 billion plus $1.4 billion, it can't be changed anymore."

"It's a pleasure to talk about business with President Morita." Tang Huan laughed: "I promise that at most one and a half months, all handover work can be done so that Sony can get Columbia Pictures with ease. This speed is definitely enough for friends."

"I hope that before the New Year, everyone will be able to complete the signing in New York first." Akio Morita further made a request.

"I'll leave for New York, USA right away." Isn't it just that I want to take advantage of the festival? What's the point of cooperating? The richest man agreed.

...

After Akio Morita said goodbye and left, Tang Huan once again wondered how much the pit of Columbia Pictures could drag Sony down.

It has to be said that Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, is full of courage. After optimistic about the advantages and long-term benefits of combining entertainment content with original products, he took action decisively and did not engage in too much price. In addition, he is also quite good at managing. While being extremely confident in his own level, he also lets go of Columbia Records to maintain local operation.

Fortunately, Akio Morita is old and after all, time is unforgiving. He has been unable to work in his current position for several years.

In addition, it must be admitted that Sony's entry into Hollywood and RB's wealth and arrogant people have indeed shared the pressure of its American richest man. After all, Chinese people are not so easy to be a good person in the United States.

Tang Huan was considering how to suppress in some aspects while supporting them in some aspects. Wada Masako walked over gently, and while helping Tang Huan pinch his shoulder, she reported softly: "There is a man named Minori Xiong Takaya who wants to see you."

"What did he ask me for?" Tang Huan asked casually.

Masako Wada, who is from a diplomat family and graduated from Harvard University, is quite well-organized in doing things. Since she is arranged as an assistant in RB affairs, she will naturally filter out the shrimp soldiers and crabs that you don’t need to pay attention to, and help you save your energy to deal with more important things.

"Koshi Kamikata said he planned to acquire Pebble Beach Golf Course." Masako Wada smiled, "I have read the documents he brought, the $570 million loan from Mitsubishi Bank, and I am sure it is correct."

Tang Huan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a chuckle, "Is this the membership card of Pebble Beach Golf Course that was snatched by RB and was sold out. Even the gold-inlaid golf club of $30,000 was played with takeout like a cigarette, so I was so jealous that I wanted to get a kick?"

Masako Wada, who also felt incredible but had to report it, also laughed, "Then how should I reply to him?"

Tang Huan asked in contemplation: "This person is so angry, what is the origin of this person?"

"First of business with computers and sports goods, he is known as the golf golden boy. He is versatile and good at dancing." Masako Wada briefly introduced, while taking out an exquisite jewelry box. "As soon as he met, he gave a gift of precious diamond jewelry."

"It seems that he is a very open-minded person." Tang Huan, who was thinking, nodded with interest, "Then let's meet."

...

When Xiong Caiguren walked in gracefully, Tang Huan poured a basin of cold water on his head and said lightly: "I'll give you a minute to convince me to sell the Pebble Beach Golf Course."

Minor Xiong was stunned and replied confidently: "Although I am an unknown person, I have the support of a large consortium behind me. When Malvin Davis bought the Pebble Beach Golf Course, he spent $72 million. After a few years, Don bought it for $150 million. Now you can sell it to me for $1.2 billion in a shorter time than Malvin Davis, and this number will definitely make Don like it."

The richest man is definitely well-informed, but in just a few dozen seconds, he was moved by the other party's wealth and power. He even began to suspect that the guy Xiong Takashi Gumin might be relying on a money laundering organization behind him. However, even so, it doesn't matter. His own bank takes responsibility and has nothing to do with him.

Tang Huan asked in confusion: "I think that judging from the current conditions, the potential of Pebble Beach Golf Course has been almost fully tapped. How can you buy it for a lot of money? "

Minami Xiong did not hide it and replied carelessly: "The US$1 million Supreme Membership Card of Pebble Beach Golf Course is now only heard and there is no sign of it. This has maintained its high-end image, but it has also spared the huge market demand. Not to mention 1,000 copies, it will not be a problem to digest it. Of course, this requires real RB local relations to operate."

Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little dizzy, as if he was about to be smashed by the yen again, so he asked uncertainly: "Do you confirm that it's really going to spend $1.2 billion to acquire the Pebble Beach Golf Course?"

Minami Kamega immediately gave a compliment, "The boutique industry created by the richest man is of course worth the price!"
