1991 Starting from the core

In the cooperation between Yuanxin and international enterprises, although it seems from some people and certain perspectives, Yuanxin has never been willing to suffer losses and has never suffered losses. But in fact, Yuanxin has paid enough for every cooperation.

At first, in order to cooperate with Sony, Yuanxin gave up VCD and DVD to enter the overseas market; then it authorized the mobile phone design and chip solution to Sony, and signed an agreement not to enter the Chinese market in the short term; and later, Yuanxin again Cooperate with Sony's lithium battery division with its leading lithium battery solution...

It can be said that these cooperations are all obtained by Yuanxin through technology and market.

As for the cooperation with Deyi, it was obtained in exchange for money and shares.

Therefore, if anyone said that Yuan Xin had climbed a high branch, Su Yuanshan would definitely not agree.

But in the area of ​​audio and video, Su Yuanshan has indeed boarded the Sony ship - Yuan Xin has no influence in terms of copyright and global audio and video.

Well, there was some pirate, but they have all been cleared.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan's gratitude to Akio Morita is sincere - not everyone can see and believe in the application development of the Internet.

Technology can be foreseen, but its application requires gestation or even a flash of inspiration, and cannot be predicted in advance.

Su Yuanshan also believes that Sony has not seen the future, but they chose a method that I don't know whether to call stupid or smart, which is to believe in Yuanxin.

…

Akio Morita smiled and shook his head, signaling Su Yuanshan not to worry.

"Toyama-kun, how will audio and video develop next? I mean before the arrival of the global Internet era." After a pause, Akio Morita sighed unwillingly: "I may not be able to see that day."

"..." Su Yuanshan and Kutaragi Ken looked at each other, and the latter also smiled bitterly for a moment and comforted: "The president will definitely see that day."

"I accept your well-intentioned deception." Akio Morita said slowly, but looked at Su Yuanshan, as if he was stubbornly waiting for the answer.

Su Yuanshan took a breath without leaving any trace, hiding a wry smile in his eyes.

It seems that this old man... is really obsessed with film and television entertainment.

It is said that the original acquisition of Columbia Pictures was a decision made by this old man almost on his own initiative - however, this also indirectly caused Akio Morita's stroke - because when he had a stroke, it was the time when Sony Pictures suffered a huge loss.

Until now, it is still losing money.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Akio Morita plans to let Sony take a gamble with Su Yuanshan.

"The Internet is just one of the platforms for TV, movies and music products."

Since the old man must ask clearly, Su Yuanshan had no choice but to start organizing his words and try his best to use logical theories to describe the future situation.

Akio Morita nodded slightly and signaled Su Yuanshan to continue.

"So, content is still the core part of the film and television industry. But we know that content has trends."

"Romance films, action films, drama films, war films... these genres cannot be said to be outdated or outdated. But throughout the history of film, there is a certain period of time where people prefer certain films. .”

At this time, Kutaragi Ken interrupted: "Susan, what you mean is that we need to find the next popular genre and direction?"

Su Yuanshan was silent for a few seconds and then smiled slightly and asked: "Why not create a genre film?"

"Pioneering?"

"Yes, pioneering." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and said softly: "Every man has an Ultraman in his heart. As for me, I hope that a grand world with countless superheroes can appear."

"You don't want to... create a series of Ultraman movies, do you?" Ken Kutaragi couldn't laugh or cry. In his opinion, it was a cartoon only for children to watch.

Instead, it was Akio Morita, looking at Su Yuanshan thoughtfully.

"Haha, in terms of general acceptance, Ultraman is not very suitable for being put on the big screen." Su Yuanshan chuckled: "On the contrary, Western comics and fantasy stories are easier for the target group to accept, such as Marvel The comics have a profound influence on the Lighthouse Country...and in terms of the completion of the world view, I like it very much. By the way, I remember that the copyright of Spider-Man is in your hands, right?"

Kutaragi Ken nodded slowly.

"Kyuta-kun, I am optimistic about superhero movies - this is not just my personal preference, but the world needs such movies to satisfy people's imagination of transcending natural powers. And with the advancement of technology, There will also be a resurgence of good science fiction films.”

Su Yuanshan looked at Akio Morita and said slowly.

"The human soul has been trapped in the body for too long. We all need..."

"...Imagination."

"It is precisely based on this that Yuanxin hopes to get involved in this field through cooperation with Sony."

…

…

No matter how intensely Morita Akio talked about sex, his physical condition could not allow him to continue talking for a long time, and soon a doctor came to intervene.

Akio Morita told Su Yuanshan and the others to stay at home to eat, while he went down to rest for a while. At the same time, the living room was also left to Su Yuanshan and Kutaragi Ken.

After watching the old man's wheelchair turn into the corridor, Kutaragi Ken looked away and frowned slightly.

He is different from Akio Morita, and even different from Norio Ohga - he is purely technical.

Although it has begun to be involved in business matters in the past few years, it is still somewhat lacking compared to its predecessors. Fortunately, Sony has still set a course, and it only needs a leader with a firm stance and will to lead Sony forward.

At worst, you can still follow Yuanxin - it can develop to such a terrifying scale in just four or five years. Is it still wrong to follow Yuanxin? You must know that Yuanxin is taking a technical route, not a business like finance and trade that can make you rich overnight.

"Susan, I have a question..."

"Kyuta-kun, please speak."

"Since you have spoken so well of Marvel's influence...but Marvel has been losing money for many years and has no choice but to sell a lot of copyrights."

Su Yuanshan sighed after hearing this. Marvel has indeed had a hard time in the past ten years... Almost all of his sons have been sold, and they have been resold one after another.

So, when I was filming Iron Man, it was a desperate move.

And not to mention, even now...Marvel is about to file for bankruptcy protection.

"Yes, so now is the time to buy the dip - by the way, what about Titanic's investment?"

"Eighty million dollars invested."

"Well, it's not bad." Su Yuanshan paused and said, "I'll tell you some news. The Xinghai Foundation will invest in Marvel at the right time."

"We must get this ticket."
