Chapter 225 Investing in contacts(2/2)
"Mr. Stringer, I want to be your own person with you more than being a family with Sony!"
Howard Singer was stunned for a moment, not very clear about what Wu Nianzu meant. He turned his head and said, "Oh, Wu, I'm happy to be good friends with you too..."
Wu Nianzu interrupted directly, no longer hiding, and said directly: "Mr. Stringer, I mean, ally! People on a boat!
I hope you can become the real ruler of Sony, a huge empire, and in the process, I will do my best to help you!
Don't tell me you don't have this ambition!"
Howard Singer didn't expect the young man opposite to him to be so straightforward. He picked up this topic without any concealment when he first met. You must know that the two had no friendship before.
Stringer looked at Wu Nianzu and said nothing.
After a moment he picked up the tea and took a sip, then slowly said:
"Wu, I agree with what you said just now. There is no ambition, and there is no difference between a man and a salted fish.
But Wu, do you really know what kind of company Sony is?
Sony's real rights have always been under the control of the founders and those they chose to incorporate into its 'family'.
This tradition originated from the neon feudal samurai family. The CEO was like the head of the family and the nobles in his jurisdiction. He had thousands of retainers all over the world who had to be loyal to him.
And I am not even a neon person.
Do you think it is possible to be the head of this empire?”
When Wu Nianzu heard this, he smiled again. At least Stinger no longer covered him.
"Mr. Stringer, you're right, but wasn't this tradition broken by Oga Nobuo himself?
The current Sony leader Nobuyuki Irii is not from the Sony family, which is the founder.
For the sake of his own desire for power, Oga Nobuo chose Nobuno Irii, who had the ability at that time and had no connections or foundation at that time.
Once tradition is broken once, there will be a second time.”
Nobuo Oga was the last leader of Sony. In 1995, he opposed the opposition and chose Nobuo Irii, who was not in the Sony family, as his successor, but he was only promoted to president and chief executive officer. Nobuo Oga himself also dominated the positions of CEO and chairman.
Until today three years later, Nobuyuki Irii only had one more name as a joint CEO (co-ceo).
Izui once expressed dissatisfaction: the name of co-CEO, fooling people. The co-pilot of the aircraft is called "Co-Pilot", and no one would think that "Co-Pilot" means co-pilot.
In the past few years of Sony, there are two emperors here, and there have been many people from both factions fighting for power and profit.
It was not until two years later that Oga Nobuo stepped down from the chairman that the fight ended with Nobuyuki Hitomi.
Howard Singer was invited by Nobuyuki Izumi himself, with his label shaking.
Wu Nianzu knew the ending very clearly, so he naturally stood directly on the side of the winner.
"Stinger, you are deeply trusted by Nobuyuki Irii and have outstanding abilities. As long as you can do a good job in America, the world's largest market, there is nothing impossible!"
Stringer was also thoughtful after hearing Wu Nianzu's words. Will the tradition be broken for the second time?
Then Stringer shrugged: “Wu, I admit that the scene you portrayed is very good.
But I am just a executive president now, but I don’t have such great power to dominate the entire Sony business in America.”
Wu Nianzu shook his finger gently:
"Mr. Stringer, continue to hide, this is not an attitude towards allies.
Sony (America) is an extremely important battlefield for the battle between Nobuno Irii and Nobuo Oga.
If I were Shinoyuki Izumi, I would definitely promote you as a confidant and help him control Sony (America).
As the established head of this year, Nobuyuki Oga could not object to his proposal, but he would let his subordinates create strong resistance to you after taking office.
How to clear these nails and establish your prestige is the issue you need to consider now Stinger.”
Thanks to Time 1979 for the reward!
