v3 Chapter 1156： I got it! King fried! (4000 words big (2/2)
Seeing them disappearing into sight, Huo Jianning's eyes became deep and he sighed quietly for a long time.
In fact, emotionally, he does not want to cooperate with Philips and Sony, nor does he want to pull the two companies together to become the makers of the new data CD standard.
However, from a rational point of view, cooperation with Philips and Sony is more advantageous than disadvantages for the Tiangong Electronics Group. The reason is that the foundation of the Tiangong Electronics Group is shallow, and the internal and external foundations are both shallow!
Sony has decades of technical background and market relationships, not to mention Philips, now the world’s top 500, a giant in the electronics field, has accumulated more than 90 years of technical background and various relationships.
In terms of technical standards, Philips is not only the maker of the CD-DA disc standard, but also the leader of many other technical alliances. Philips shares other interests in common with other companies.
If Philips really wants to take another path with Sony, it can definitely attract a large group of allies to follow, and the scientific research strength of the two companies should not be underestimated. It is absolutely possible to develop another set of standards.
At that time, two camps will be formed, and Tiangong Electronics Group will probably have very few allies in this camp.
Huo Jianning was not absolutely sure of winning, and he did not want to cause trouble to the chairman because of this matter, or even let the chairman waste resources again.
Therefore, although Tiangong Electronics Group has solved the constraints of pushing it to the market, given that the current comprehensive strength of the group is still unable to overwhelm the crowd, he can only focus on stability.
He has now played the trump card. As long as the operators of Philips and Sony are not stupid, they will definitely choose to bow their heads and consider peace.
As for the extent of the ”harmony” and how the benefits are distributed, it depends on five days later.
As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still under his control, and Tiangong Electronics Group has a great initiative!
...
Let’s talk about Matsumoto Wang. After leaving the Tiangong Electronics Group, he almost rushed back to the island nation of Tokyo’s Minato District to meet with Chairman Akio Morita.
After learning of the grim situation, Akio Morita immediately called another founder and chief technical adviser, Shenda I.
Sony Corporation was founded by Akio Morita and Dae Shen.
Akio Morita is good at business management, and Jing Shen Da is a great technology man. He liked to invent when he was in college and won the Outstanding Invention Award at the Paris Universal Exposition at the time by relying on the ”dynamic neon light”.
Under the combination of the two swords, Sony has flourished and has become an island-based electronics giant in decades.
When I was here, Akio Morita immediately asked Matsumoto to repeat what was about to happen.
After Wang Matsumoto finished speaking, Akio Morita immediately asked: ”Jing Shen, you know more about the technical aspects. You have analyzed the samples taken by Tiangong Electronics Group before. We are now avoiding the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group. Barriers, can we develop a second-generation data disc.”
Jing Shenda nodded without hesitation and said: ”The data disc industry is still in its infancy. As long as enough manpower and capital are invested, it can definitely go another way. However, as Tiangong Electronics Group occupies some technical fields, I want to Avoiding it requires more research and development costs.”
”And this also needs to ensure that before we develop the finished product, Tiangong Electronics Group will not be ahead of us in certain technical fields. The more technology is occupied by them, the greater the difficulty and cost of our research and development, and the more we can go. The narrower the road.”
”Ideally, how long will it take to develop products of the same level as the Tiangong Electronics Group?” Akio Morita continued to ask.
After thinking about it for a long time, Da Jing Shen said cautiously: ”In the case of our alliance with Philips, it is conservatively estimated that it will take more than six months! If the development does not go well, it will take even longer!”
Akio Morita immediately shook his head and sighed: ”It's too late, it's too long.”
Jing Shenda is also a high IQ person. Although he doesn't care about business, he still understands most of the things.
After listening to Matsumoto Nozomi's account just now, he knew how Morita Akio would choose. The reason why he asked him was nothing more than a little hope.
But unfortunately, he couldn't give Morita Akio this expectation. He always sought truth from facts.
”Mr. Shengtian, this time our technology is behind, and we can only hope that the subsequent technology research and development can produce faster results.”
”With the support of so many record companies, now there are no restrictions on the introduction of Tiangong Electronics Group's products and technologies to the market. Neither Columbia Records nor Polygram International Co., Ltd. in which we hold shares can give Tiangong Electronics The Industrial Electronics Group is a fatal threat.”
”Even Philips is more powerless than us.”
”The CD disc market is still in its infancy, and there is still a lot of room for us to explore. For the time being, it is not enough to spend huge costs in direct confrontation.
”My suggestion is to temporarily compromise with Tiangong Electronics Group and join forces to make this cake bigger.”
After speaking, Jing Shenda stopped talking and looked at Akio Morita.
Morita Akio is the chairman. He has already made suggestions. No matter what Morita Akio chooses, he will support him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Akio Morita said decisively: ”There is no confrontation for the time being, but we must become one of the new standard setters. This is the bottom line of cooperation, otherwise we will fight a battle!”
”Jing Shen, I will propose to the board of directors to increase investment in the research and development of CD disc technology, and you will need to worry about it later.”
Jing Shen smiled and said, ”No problem.”
The following day, Akio Morita convened an interim board of directors.
At the meeting, Nozomi Matsumoto once again explained the details to all directors, and then Akio Morita put forward his attitude.
In the final result, there is no doubt that Akio Morita's opinion was passed unanimously.
The meeting also decided to continue the negotiation with the team led by Matsumoto Wang.
The bottom line is that Sony must become one of the new standard-setters, technology interchangeable.
As for the dominance of the new standard alliance, Akio Morita does not have extravagant hopes. With the Tiangong Electronics Group having an advantage, it is almost impossible for Sony to steal the dominance of the alliance. Unless Huo Jianning is a fool, obviously Huo Jianning is not...
And the other supporting role-Philips of the Netherlands, although the strength is stronger than Sony, but after Polygram International Co., Ltd., the market trump card was abolished, Philips has fewer options.
After Demps Jerry went back, he reported the situation clearly, and then Philips immediately held a board of directors~ The final result was that Philips did not want to fight such a battle that had no absolute chance of winning, and planned to continue negotiations, as long as it kept The identity of the setter of the new standards alliance will do.
Soon, the five days Huo Jianning gave him passed in a flash.
Demps Jerry and Nozomi Matsumoto once again led the team to Xiangjiang. The difference is that the negotiating team is larger.
But on the other hand, it also shows that the two companies attach importance to this negotiation.
Negotiations that day took almost a day to finally reach an agreement, and the three companies signed a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation. Philips and Sony fully supported the CD-ROM format standard proposed by the Tiangong Electronics Group.
The new CD-ROM standard is dominated by Tiangong Electronics Group, which serves as the chairman of the Technical Standards Alliance, and Philips and Sony respectively serve as vice-chairmen.
As for the more detailed division of interests, it involves many aspects. The list is full of more than ten pages of A4 paper, which is extremely beneficial to the Tiangong Electronics Group in general.
In terms of technology exchange, Huo Jianning had long asked Dr. Chao Lu to list the technologies in the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory that were extremely valuable and urgently needed for the Tiangong Electronics Group based on actual conditions.
In the case of taking the initiative, Tiangong Electronics Group relied on a batch of CDROM format patents in exchange for a batch of equivalent technologies, which gave Tiangong Electronics Group a lot of deep technical background.
After everything was in order, Huo Jianning immediately joined the process of marketization of the CDROM standard.
Philips and Sony are not fools, so he must race against time to grab market share as quickly as possible!
