Su Yan, who originally thought there would be no major changes this year, welcomed a familiar guest before the annual meeting.

Sony Idei, whom I hadn't seen for a while, was in quite a bad condition when I saw him again.

After all, 2003 was Sony's darkest year. In April 2003, Sony announced its 2002 huge loss financial report, which triggered the famous Sony shock. Sony's stock fell by 25% for two consecutive days, and Sony, as a large company in Japan,

, directly caused Japan's domestic high-tech stocks to dive one after another, pulling down the entire Japanese stock market.

The current situation of Idei in Japan is not very good. It can be said that everyone is yelling at him. Nobuyuki Idei has been criticized for dreaming for too long and not doing his job properly. Voices of not doing his job are also constantly appearing. He has been reduced from being the most successful CEO in the past to the worst.

CEO. I have to say that it would undoubtedly be the best choice if Nobuyuki Idei had chosen to step down before Sony was shaken, otherwise it would not have become too late.

In the office, Su Yan looked at Nobuyuki Idei, who was obviously much older, and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Idei is doing when he comes to China this time? As far as I know, the current internal situation at Sony seems not to be good."

And Nobuyuki Idei also sighed and said, "Mr. Su, actually I am here to ask for help this time."

At this time when Sony is facing a huge crisis, it is obviously impossible for Nobuyuki Idei to come to China without purpose. He must have come to China thinking that he might find a way to pull Sony out of its current predicament, and Su Yan is Nobuyuki Dei.

life-saving straw.

"Oh, I don't know what it is. Mr. Idei, please tell me."

Su Yan pretended to be surprised and said, generally speaking, the person who speaks first during negotiations will definitely suffer a little loss. Just like now, Shinichi Idei puts himself in a position to ask for help from others and directly asks Su Yan to do so.

Gained the initiative in negotiations.

"I wonder if Shenxiu Technology is currently interested in deepening its cooperation with Sony in the game business and continuing to advance graphics sensors?"

Nobuyuki Idei looked at Su Yan and said, Sony is currently in a state of distress due to a series of chain reactions caused by financial reporting issues. If the status quo cannot be changed as soon as possible, Sony's layoffs worldwide alone are expected to reach 150,000.

people!

"Cooperation in the game business is of course not a big problem, but the details still need to be carefully considered. As for image sensors, Shenxiu Technology is currently conducting a new generation of research and development."

As for the research and development of the new generation, Su Yan is just talking nonsense. At present, Shenxiu Technology’s image sensors are still the same as before. Shenxiu Technology has no intention of continuing research and development in the near future. After all, the current ones can meet the needs. What’s more important is that

Shenxiu Technology's R&D department is somewhat short of manpower.

After hearing Su Yan's words, Nobuyuki Idei was silent for a moment, then he seemed to have made up his mind and looked up at Su Yan and asked, "Is Mr. Su interested in cooperating with Sony to develop the next generation of image sensors?"

Su Yan was also stunned for a moment after hearing Nobuyuki Idei's words.

Speaking of which, the sensor was one of the core products for Sony's turnaround in the past, but now Nobuyuki Idei has said it in advance, and Sony's internal technical reserves are there. Once Su Yan chooses to cooperate, there is a complete chance that he can occupy them.

The high ground for image sensors.

What Su Yan is now struggling with is whether to agree to Nobuyuki Dei's request. After all, although the current situation of Sony is not optimistic, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all these years, Sony's technical reserves are still quite satisfactory to Su Yan.

I'm greedy, and Sony's screens are also very good. Once I can get the technology of Shenxiu Technology, I will undoubtedly take a big step forward.

But the crux of the issue now is that even if Shenxiu Technology and Sony reached a cooperation in this Sony incident, will Nobuyuki Dei still be the CEO of Sony? You must know that Nobuyuki Idei took over as CEO after he resigned because of this incident.

It's Howard Stringer, and this guy still hasn't solved Sony's loss problem after taking over. Su Yan is worried that even if he cooperates with Sony now, will the first foreign CEO in Sony's history directly regret it when the time comes?

.

"Is Mr. Dei confident that he will still be the CEO of Sony after reaching a cooperation with Shenxiu Technology? As far as I know, the Sony board of directors seems to have a lot of opinions on Mr. Dei?"

Su Yan asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Su. As long as this cooperation can be negotiated, I am sure that the cooperation between the two parties will be stable."

Nobuyuki Idei said confidently that it can be said that Sony's current situation is simply due to various internal problems that are hard to recover from, and he is just the one who takes the blame.

"Then I hope we can cooperate happily."

Su Yan said with a smile.

“A pleasure to work with.”

After hearing Su Yan's words, Nobuyuki Idei also smiled.

"By the way, there is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Idei for help." After talking about the project, Su Yan changed the topic and asked, "Is Sony interested in Blizzard?"

"Blizzard?" Idei was stunned for a moment, "The blizzard from Vivendi?"

"Yes." Su Yan nodded, "If what I know is correct, Vivendi is going through a financial crisis, right?"

2003-2004 was the time when Vivendi suffered a huge financial crisis, and it was also the time when Sierra was laid off on a large scale and was directly disbanded. However, this year Vivendi's large-scale layoffs were not limited to Sierra, Vivendi Global 80

% of the shares were sold to General Electric.

"This outbreak of the debt crisis across Europe is expected to last for some time."

Nobuyuki Idei also said casually, obviously he is also more concerned about things in Europe, after all, it is also a big market for Sony.

"Mr. Idei also knows that our Shenxiu Technology started with games. I heard that Vivendi plans to sell off part of its entertainment industry. How about Sony take this opportunity to talk to Vivendi about acquiring Blizzard?

?”

Nobuyuki Idei looked puzzled, "Mr. Su should be aware of Sony's recent situation. If Shenxiu Technology is interested in Vivendi's entertainment industry, he can definitely negotiate an acquisition with them. With Shenxiu Technology's current strength,

It shouldn’t be a problem at all, right?”

"Because we don't want to be taken advantage of. You must know that our Shenxiu Technology and Vivendi have no connection, and to be precise, there is still a certain degree of competition between the two parties. If we go to discuss the acquisition with Vivendi, I guess they will

The lion is open to talk. And I don’t want to be taken advantage of, so I don’t want them to know that Shenxiu Technology is interested in Blizzard.”

After listening to Su Yan's words, Nobuyuki Idei said with sudden realization, "Mr. Su means that Sony and Vivendi will discuss the acquisition of Blizzard. After Sony acquires Blizzard, Shenxiu Technology and Sony will acquire Blizzard."

.”

"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Dei has any questions?"

"No problem, I'm just a middleman."
