Huo Jianning's anti-provocative attitude undoubtedly made Nozomi Matsumoto and Dempsey Jerry very angry.

After the two were silent for a moment, Dempsey Jerry said coldly: "President Huo, if you think so, then we have no objection!"

Nozomi Matsumoto said nothing, but his attitude was clearly revealed.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed very depressing.

Huo Jianning glanced at the two of them coldly, then suddenly sneered, and what he said made Matsumoto Nozomi and Dempsey Jerry frown.

"threaten me?"

"I have to say, you are a typical example of the ignorant and fearless!"

This mocking tone made Dempsey Jerry furious. He stood up directly, and his condescending posture seemed to increase his power, and said loudly: "President Huo, you should be the one who is ignorant now."

"I can guarantee that PolyGram International Co., Ltd. will never support the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group, and other European record companies will not support it either!"

Dempsey Jerry's gesture annoyed Huo Jianning.

"boom!"

His face turned cold, and he slapped his hand on the table, making a sound that startled Dempsey Jerry.

"You can't promise that!"

"Before you talk big, think about yourself first!"

"After reading this information, I hope you can repeat what you just said!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning winked at an assistant on the left, who immediately threw the stack of documents he had been holding in front of Dempsey Jerry.

Then Dempsey Jerry, who was embarrassed by Huo Jianning and didn't know whether to sit down or continue to stand, said to the assistant on the right: "Show the document to President Matsumoto too!"

The assistant on the right immediately handed the document to Nozomi Matsumoto's assistant.

Huo Jianning said to Matsumoto Wang expressionlessly: "President Matsumoto, these materials are copies. You can take them away later and look at them as you like. I'm not in a hurry!"

Matsumoto had an extremely bad premonition in his heart. Without saying a word, he directly took the document from his assistant and browsed it carefully.

After watching for less than five seconds, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Huo Jianning, who had a calm expression on his face. Then he suppressed the shock in his heart and tried his best to stay calm and looked down.

Dempsey Jerry on the side realized something was wrong, sat down again and browsed the documents in front of him.

Likewise, after just watching for a while, his expression changed drastically and his thoughts became confused.

Looking at the panicked two people, Huo Jianning curled up into a sneer.

If friendly negotiations can no longer continue, then he will simply reveal his cards.

King bomb!

What the two of them were looking at was information related to a series of record companies they had acquired previously.

They are cooperation agreements on CD-RO format records from seven companies including EMI, Virgin Records, Island Records, Epic Records, RCA Group, A&Rerds, and Universal Music Group.

And a copy of the share certificate of PolyGram International Co., Ltd.

In the face of the written cooperation agreement between the seven companies, the rejection of PolyGram International Co., Ltd. and Columbia Records seemed completely non-threatening!

These seven record companies have united to support Tiangong Electronics Group, which is enough to cover the main market of CD discs and support Tiangong Electronics Group in promoting its products.

If you think about it more carefully, these seven record companies support Tiangong Electronics Group, so they will definitely no longer support Philips and Sony. This is enough to cause a major blow to the two companies.

What's more, there is also a copy of the 35% equity certificate of PolyGram International Co., Ltd.

Just this copy slapped Dempsey Jerry in the face.

Yes, Philips is the largest shareholder of PolyGram International Co., Ltd., but its shareholding ratio is only a little larger. Even if it joins forces with Siemens to suppress the new shareholder Universal Music Group, it cannot absolutely suppress it.

Just one veto power can prevent most resolutions from being passed.

Philips can make PolyGram International Co., Ltd. not agree to support Tiangong Electronics Group, and then Universal Music Group, which is behind this certificate of equity, can also make Philips unable to obtain support.

It can be said that Philips' trump card in promoting CD technology has been directly scrapped!

Seeing the blue and red face of Dempsey Jerry, Huo Jianning felt very happy.

Time passes slowly.

Observed that Dempsey Jerry and Nozomi Matsumoto had read through the documents.

Huo Jianning Noyu's voice sounded again: "President Matsumoto, President Jerry, do you think our technology can be successfully promoted?"

These words were like pepper spray, directly rubbing salt into the wounds of Dempsey, Jerry and Matsumoto, making them extremely uncomfortable.

But after Huo Jianning showed up, the two of them were completely at a disadvantage, and all their preparation plans before coming were disrupted.

The current situation is beyond their control and decision-making scope. They can only make a decision by reporting back to the company and letting their respective chairman of the board make the decision.

Matsumoto Wang squeezed out a forced smile and boasted awkwardly: "I didn't expect Tiangong Electronics Group to reach cooperation with so many companies quietly. Your company's confidentiality work is really good."

Huo Jianning smiled and said jokingly: "No way, if I don't prepare, I will have a headache now..."

Matsumoto smiled awkwardly and did not dare to answer. He was so confused that he just wanted to leave quickly.

"President Huo, it seems that our first discussion today can only end here. I will take your company's attitude back first and hope that we can achieve real cooperation."

Huo Jianning nodded slightly, glanced at Matsumoto meaningfully, then glanced at Dempsey Jerry, and said lightly: "President Matsumoto, I only give you five days, the choice is in your hands, I welcome

All partners are also not afraid of any competition!”

"We have reached cooperation with these record companies. No matter what the result is, I will definitely bring the product to the market."

"I hope you can tell Mr. Ibuka and Mr. Akio Morita the truth about my attitude."

Then he looked at Dempsey Jerry and said calmly: "President Jerry, I also hope you will inform Mr. Philips as soon as possible."

"You can take these materials with you!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning made a gesture of invitation.

Nozomi Matsumoto and Dempsey Jerry wanted to leave a long time ago. They stood up one after another, said something casually, and left in a hurry with others.

Of course, in Huo Jianning's view, the two groups fled here completely in despair.

As he watched them disappear from 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 bring the two companies together to become the developer of the new data disc standard.

But from a rational point of view, cooperation with Philips and Sony has more advantages than disadvantages for Tiangong Electronics Group. The reason is that the current foundation of Tiangong Electronics Group is shallow, both internal and external foundations are shallow!

Sony has decades of technological heritage and market relationships, not to mention Philips, which is now a Fortune 500 company and a giant in the electronics field. It has accumulated more than 90 years of technological heritage and relationships in all aspects.

Not to mention anything else, as far as technical standards are concerned, Philips is not only the maker of the CD-DA disc standard, but is also the leader of many other technology alliances. Philips has other common interests with other companies.

If Philips really wants to go another way with Sony, it will definitely be able to attract a large group of allies to follow, and the scientific research strength of the two companies cannot be underestimated. It is absolutely possible to develop another set of standards.

When the two camps are created, Tiangong Electronics Group will likely have 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 cause the chairman to waste resources again.

Therefore, although Tiangong Electronics Group has solved the constraints of launching into the market, given that the group's current comprehensive strength is still unable to overwhelm the others, it can only focus on stability.

He has now played his trump card. As long as the managers of Philips and Sony are not stupid, they will definitely choose to bow their heads and value peace.

As for the extent of the "harmony" and how the benefits will be distributed, it will be decided in five days.

As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still under his control, and Tiangong Electronics Group has taken great initiative!

…

Speaking of Matsumoto Nozomi, after leaving Tiangong Electronics Group, he rushed back to the island country of Minato, Tokyo, almost non-stop, to meet with Chairman Akio Morita.

After learning of the serious situation, Akio Morita immediately called another founder and chief technical consultant, Dai Ibuka.

Sony Corporation was founded by Akio Morita and Dai Ibuka.

Akio Morita is good at business management, and Dai Ibuka is a master of technology. He liked to invent when he was in college, and won the Outstanding Invention Award at the Paris International Exposition with his "dynamic neon light".

Under the combined efforts of the two, Sony flourished and became an electronics giant in the island country over the past few decades.

When Ibuka arrived, Akio Morita immediately asked Matsumoto to tell him what happened again.

After Matsumoto Nozomi finished speaking, Akio Morita immediately asked: "Ibuka-kun, you know better about technical matters. You have also analyzed the samples that Tiangong Electronics Group brought before. We are now avoiding Tiangong Electronics Group's technology.

Barriers, can we develop a second generation data disc?"

Jing Shenda nodded without hesitation and said: "The data optical disc industry is still in its infancy. As long as enough manpower and funds are invested, it can definitely go another way. However, with Tiangong Electronics Group occupying some technical fields, we want to

Avoiding it will require greater R&D costs.”

"And this also requires ensuring that before we develop finished products, Tiangong Electronics Group will not get ahead of us in certain technical fields. The more technology they occupy, the greater the difficulty and cost of our research and development will be.

The road becomes narrower."

"Ideally, how long will it take to develop products of the same level as Tiangong Electronics Group?" Akio Morita continued to ask.

After thinking for a long time, Ibuka frowned and said cautiously: "If we join forces with Philips, it will be conservatively estimated to take more than six months! If the research and development does not go smoothly, it will even take longer!"

Akio Morita immediately shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, it takes too long."

Ibuka is also a person with a high IQ. Although he doesn't care about business, he still understands most things.

After listening to Matsumoto Nozomi's story just now, he knew how Morita Akio would choose, and the reason why he asked him was just because he still had a glimmer of hope.
