Chapter 663: The giant that came to the door: Sony, which was having a hard time
The busy days continue. Qingyao Group seems to be particularly busy after the Spring Festival, and life is quite comfortable.
The speed at which Qingyao Group makes money has made countless giants jealous. Whether it's TV series, movies, or animation, it seems that Qingyao Group always makes a killing. Even Disney feels a bit ashamed when compared to Qingyao Group.
Qingyao Group is doing well, but some companies are having a hard time, including the traditional giant Disney.
Sony Pictures, one of the Hollywood giants. Since acquiring Columbia, Sony has become a new giant in Hollywood. And with the backing of the parent company, Sony has been a true giant over the years.
However, in recent years, Sony Pictures has been struggling. Sony Pictures has been in the red for five consecutive years, with the losses increasing year by year.
In the past few years, Disney's strong rise has made life difficult for other Hollywood giants. In recent years, Qingyao Group has also risen strongly. The competition between the two giants has directly made life difficult for other companies.
At Zhucheng Airport, after leaving the airport, the group took a car directly to the headquarters of Qingyao Group.
In the car, Oda Ichiro's expression was serious, even a little nervous. As a representative sent by Sony headquarters, Oda Ichiro came to China and the Qingyao Group headquarters to take a big gamble.
Sony Corporation has expressed strong dissatisfaction with Sony Pictures' continued losses. At a recent board meeting, someone at the company even suggested selling Sony Pictures to stem the losses.
Faced with this situation, Sony Pictures is also working hard to find a breakthrough. Because they know that if the losses continue, Sony Pictures will likely be abandoned. When a company sees no hope of profitability, everyone will choose to cut losses in time.
Although Sony Pictures is quite large, it is not the most important one compared to the Sony Group, let alone the super-conglomerate behind Sony.
However, those who support Sony Pictures do not want to give up, because giving up Sony Pictures means they will lose everything.
So, Ichiro Oda came today. He came with a mission, which was to persuade Qingyao Group to cooperate with Sony Pictures.
The rise of Qingyao Group is a legend in the eyes of Sony Pictures. The reason why Qingyao Group can rise so legendary is because it has a soul figure Su Yang.
Sony Pictures has been researching Su Yang for a long time. However, the more they research, the more confused they become. They can't figure out where Su Yang's talent comes from.
After the convoy left Zhucheng's main urban area and drove for a while, the Qingyao Group headquarters slowly came into view. Looking at the Qingyao Group headquarters, Ichiro Oda was also very impressed.
Such a headquarters, let alone Sony Pictures, even Disney’s headquarters cannot compare with Qingyao Group’s headquarters.
Because the headquarters of Qingyao Group is like a city of its own. This model is not unfamiliar to Ichiro Oda, as it actually exists in Japan and South Korea.
But those who can build such a large headquarters all have a name, and that name is zaibatsu. And now, in Oda Ichiro's opinion, Qingyao Group even has some shadows of zaibatsu.
If all of Qingyao Group's subsidiaries thrived and successfully went public, wouldn't they be a new chaebol? After all, Qingyao Group's subsidiaries were already flourishing. Each one held immense potential, and with the massive Chinese market and a formidable figure like Su Yang, their rise was understandable.
The convoy entered the headquarters of Qingyao Group and was guided by a special person.
"Mr. Oda, please come this way. Our President Su is waiting for you in the reception room."
After Ichiro Oda got off the car, someone was ready to receive him.
"Thank you..."
Ichiro Oda nodded and actually spoke Chinese, and his pronunciation was fluent and fluent Mandarin.
Under the guidance of the staff, Oda Ichiro and his group were led to the reception room. At the door of the reception room, the assistant nodded and Oda Ichiro went in. The others were arranged to wait in other rooms.
This is a very stylish reception room with a large area. It is fully equipped with various facilities and exquisite tea sets are placed there.
"Mr. Oda, do you want to play a game?"
Su Yang was sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing a game with a game controller in his hand. Oda Ichiro was very familiar with this game controller, and even the game console was very familiar to him, because this set of things was produced by Sony Group.
The game Su Yang played was also a stand-alone Resident Evil game previously released by Pangu Games.
"Su Yangjun, I'm sorry, I don't know how to play games."
Oda Ichiro said in a skilled voice. Oda Ichiro was not lying, he really couldn't play games.
"It's good to have some fun and relax when you have free time. Mr. Oda, you should actually look for our President Tang instead of me."
Su Yang put down the game controller, motioned for Oda Ichiro to sit down, and skillfully began to brew tea. Tea culture is very important in both China and Japan. Oda Ichiro would also quietly enjoy tea in his free time.
"Su Yangjun, without your approval, President Tang won't agree to anything. This time, we at Sony are here with sincerity."
Ichiro Oda looked at Su Yang seriously.
"Mr. Oda, do you think we would be the best partners? If we want to cooperate, I think among the major Hollywood companies, Sony is the least suitable. Because in the eyes of Americans, I am the enemy, and you are also the enemy..."
Su Yang's words made Oda Ichiro take a deep breath. Yes, Su Yang is right. In the eyes of Americans, Su Yang is an enemy, but is Japan not an enemy?
How much money have Americans cheated Japan out of over the years? When Japanese and Americans do business, they can only follow the rules.
But when Americans and Japanese do business, they fight if they can win, and if they can't, they turn the table over, use dirty tricks, set traps, or even have parents intervene directly.
In a word, if you are useless, the Americans will definitely kill you. The same is true for Sony Pictures in Hollywood over the years.
"Su Yangjun, I think we actually have common interests. Your Qingyao Group wants to rise globally, and our Sony Pictures wants to stand on its own. These markets used to belong to Europe and the United States, and we're both trying to grab a piece of their pie. We have a common enemy..."
Ichiro Oda said seriously, then opened the briefcase he was carrying with him, took out a document from it and handed it to Su Yang with both hands.
Su Yang looked at Ichiro Oda, and finally took the document and read it carefully.
Ichiro Oda looked at Su Yang quietly, waiting for Su Yang to finish reading the document. He believed that this piece of cake was enough to impress Su Yang.
