Xing Baohua said that the acquisition of NEC was just talk, mainly to let some information out of the public and test the reactions of certain people.
NEC is much larger than Nikon. If it hadn't acquired Nikon, it might have been able to acquire some of its shares if it had gritted its teeth.
But now, he borrows money to spend. Capital operations are about using other people's money to make money for yourself. He appears glamorous on the outside, giving the impression of being wealthy, but in reality, he's dirt poor.
Furthermore, NEC is a diversified conglomerate in the electronics industry, one of its businesses being chip foundry and chip manufacturing.
Even if Xing Baohua spends a lot of money to acquire it, he won't be able to move it back to China. The technical field consists of people who can manufacture the equipment; if possible, he'll try to poach them. Of course, the success rate is relatively low.
Most of NEC's equipment is supplied by Nikon and Canon. They used to use Nikon equipment, but after being acquired by Xing Baohua, they switched to placing orders with Canon.
It's clear that there's a strong sense of hostility.
Most R people probably just want to see Xing Baohua make a fool of himself. When he joined Nikon, he vowed to bring about change, but what happened? His biggest client left.
Mitsui Fujisaburo wanted to trade forex with Xing Baohua, but Xing Baohua refused. He knew Fujisaburo could bring him a lot of clients and billions of dollars in funds. But it wasn't his money, and he'd have to distract himself by helping others make money. If Fujisaburo could earn some commission or something, Xing Baohua would have included him.
I can't earn a single penny, so why should I involve them? It's not like I'm doing them a favor. Mitsui Fujii isn't even human; he's just a dog to be used.
After discussing the important matters with Mitsui Fujisaburo, we chatted for a few more minutes before he left.
Only he and his sister-in-law remained in the enormous CEO's office.
The young woman's name is Kawaguchi Kanae. She is divorced, and it's not listed in the company's personnel file whether she has children.
It says "single" on it, but it doesn't specify whether I have any male friends.
According to Xing Baohua, who has watched many films over the years, it's impossible for someone like her not to have three or five male friends.
Those wolves in the company wouldn't let her go either. To be honest, if it weren't for his back problems, he would quite like this kind of trendy type of guy.
"What's been going on with Minami Kazuo lately?" Xing Baohua asked his sister-in-law.
Kawaguchi Kanae nodded first, then remained silent for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts.
She said, "Chairman Nantian has many affairs, and I don't know much about them. I'm sorry, I'm just a clerk in the president's office and don't have access to higher-level information." Kawaguchi Kanae turned to the side and lowered her head.
It's like a docile cat, but unfortunately you can't pet it.
Xing Baohua was aware of this as well. With his sister-in-law moving closer to him, the old factions were basically cutting ties with her, and Kawaguchi Kanae could only be marginalized.
Given that Xing Baohua doesn't often oversee Nikon operations, it's normal that he doesn't hear certain news from his office.
She didn't know who had arranged for this person to stay by her side, so Xing Baohua had to keep testing him.
This guy thinks it's most likely that Xiao Zhao belongs to the north.
Without evidence, we can only test and speculate. Moreover, Xing Baohua didn't really have anyone to command within Nikon, and it was even necessary to borrow information from rivals to gather intelligence.
The effectiveness of execution and the comprehension of the message can often be seen in how well it is conveyed.
I was just saying that the acquisition of NEC was supposed to be discussed with Mitsui Fujisaburo so he could analyze the feasibility and financial aspects, but actually it was meant for Kanae Kawaguchi.
If someone is genuinely trying to get closer to you, it means that Nikon's upper management is unlikely to know.
When Xing Baohua saw Mitsui Fujisaburo off, he specifically whispered a reminder not to let the news of the acquisition get out. If word got out, it might be about one of these two.
It's possible that Mitsui Fujisaburo managed to pass on the message after Xing Baohua's repeated instructions, but the scope of its spread wouldn't be very large. Of course, if it were reported to higher-ups, there's a possibility that they would allow it to be disseminated, but the limitations would be small.
The situation would have been different if Nikon had known that Xing Baohua was planning to acquire NEC.
Nikon is willing to forgo orders just to mess with Xing Baohua, which means they're prepared to fight him head-on. And it's a self-destructive move; they're definitely going to sabotage Xing Baohua's acquisition of NEC to avoid repeating Nikon's past acquisition tragedy.
"I am now appointing you as the Chairman's Secretary, with full authority over my important matters at Nikon. I'll call HR in a bit; once you get back, urge the company to get the office automation system working properly so I can work remotely online. Understand?"
"Thank you for the promotion, President. I will do my best to serve you."
"When you get back, compile a list of Nikon's product patents from 1950 to the present. It's okay if there's no content, I just need a general overview."
"Hi!" After nodding, Kawaguchi Kanae produced a small notebook from somewhere and began taking notes on what Xing Baohua was saying.
Xing Baohua also knew that the accumulated patent products over the past ten years, not to mention the actual content of the patents, the catalog alone would be tens of thousands of words long, as thick as several books.
Having a catalog makes things easier; Xing Baohua will find what he wants from the catalog.
He started urging the implementation of office automation as soon as he took office.
IBM was tasked with building internal servers to store important successes. As previously designed, these servers were divided into an external network and an internal network. The internal network also contained several separate servers. The laboratory servers and index data servers were related, while the rest were not interconnected with either of these two server types.
External networks cannot access internal networks; internal networks require an application to access external networks.
These things sound simple, but in reality, it requires the development of a special program.
