The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property - Chapter 562 Moving forward, Beiyuan Technology

“Mr. Kitahara, long time no see!” Son Zhengyi looked good. He pulled out a seat and asked Kitahara Sosuke to sit down first. Then he sat on the chair pulled out by his secretary.

The pretty little female secretary really wanted to stay here for a while and watch the legendary young, handsome and extraordinary boss. Unfortunately, the big boss had to discuss important matters with the boss here. She could only leave the conference room with Yamada Kazuma and stand quietly. Outside.

“Long time no see. I’m sorry for having to put you back to work before the New Year’s holiday is over.” Kitahara Sosuke smiled, poured him a glass of water, and pushed it over.

Son Zhengyi quickly stood up and held the cup with both hands, feeling flattered.

“No, no, no, you know, this job means a lot to me. When I was dying on the hospital bed, what I lamented was not the passing of life, but the inability to continue working and push my career forward. It’s yours Thanks to SoftBank’s help, I can survive! It’s my honor to work for you until the end of my life, Mr. Kitahara.”

Son Zhengyi said solemnly, with firm eyes. This was the deepest thought in his heart.

Kitahara Sosuke nodded slightly and did not continue the topic: “Let’s get down to business. How is the follow-up work going? Have you encountered any difficulties that are difficult to solve? You should know that in addition to financial business this year, the most important thing for Kitahara Consortium is technology. It’s business.”

“Fortunately, I have lived up to my mission.” Sun Zhengyi smiled and took out a large stack of information from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Kitahara Sosuke. “As you wish, on January 5, we officially announced the first meeting of Kitahara Financial Holding Group. After the all-staff meeting, Kitahara 2-series mobile phones will also be released, and on the day of release, the price of Kitahara 1-series mobile phones will be reduced by 50% to facilitate people’s purchase.”

Nowadays, mobile phones are still a luxury product for most people. Except for rich people, only those club executives and the middle class will buy one. The same is true for computers. They can only be seen often in club work. It has not officially entered a personal family.

On the contrary, the game consoles he single-handedly promoted have set off one amazing wave after another, sweeping Japan, gradually replacing the status of arcades.

Game consoles are not cheap either, but they are still much cheaper than mobile phones and computers. Many families buy a game console sold by Sony or Nintendo, which can be used by the whole family. It is very convenient and highly entertaining.

Kitahara Sosuke now holds large shares in Sony and Nintendo. They cooperate with Kitahara Entertainment and occupy almost 70% of the market share of the game industry, which also causes headaches for the other six major consortiums.

One step is slow, each step is slow.

This wave of price cuts for Kitahara 1 series mobile phones will definitely cause huge market turmoil, because after a 50% drop, the basic profit rate is zero, which is simply a fire sale at a loss.

Kitahara Sosuke did not hesitate to do this because he wanted to accelerate the evolution of the mobile phone market so that other consortiums would not have time to prepare. After taking the lead in technology, he would be able to take the first bite of the cake and control a large amount of fame.

Now he is not short of money, but even less famous.

“How are your contacts with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates?” Kitahara Sosuke knocked on the table. This was the purpose of his trip, to understand the progress of Kitahara Technology.

I was so aggressive in scientific research and technology, and even bought aircraft and truck technology from Mao Xiong. The six major consortiums would not be so stupid that they knew nothing about it, and they must have been prepared for it.

Even for a consortium of their level, if they rashly enter too many emerging industries, they may go too far and get in trouble. Therefore, every expansion is a repeated decision of the board of directors.

The more mature a consortium is, the more certain its direction of development will be, and its internal structure will be very stable. It will not be like the Beiyuan Consortium, which started to deploy in various industries soon after its establishment, as if it was cheating.

To be honest, if he were not a time traveler, Kitahara Sosuke would not dare to do this.

He only understands the general trend of the times, but does not understand details such as technology.

The work has to be done by his subordinates, so he provides a direction and goal.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep the latest intelligence advisory updates to avoid falling into other people’s traps.

“Microsoft, with our strong support, the research and development of the Windows operating system is going very smoothly. It is expected that the epoch-making product will arrive by the end of the year!” Son Zhengyi is also an in-depth participant in this project. Speaking of this, he is extremely excited. , “I’m sure that once it’s launched, it will definitely shock the world!”

The current operating system still uses Windows 3.0X, which is half the blood of the DOS operating system, which is very inconvenient.

“What did he say? In other words, we will try our best to promote computer penetration this year.” Kitahara Sosuke laughed, “I have not forgotten the 1-meter gold bet with him in 1995. , it’s still too long, I can’t wait that long, and neither can the Beihara Consortium.”

“Promote the popularization of mobile phones and computers at the same time? Wouldn’t it be a little bit to do this?” Son Zhengyi was greatly shocked. In fact, there has been a lot of internal opposition to the price reduction of Kitahara 1 series mobile phones.

The reason is very simple. For such a profitable mobile phone, it has only been on the market for a year, and its price suddenly dropped significantly. This is simply cutting off its financial path.

Today’s Beiyuan Technology is not a club owned by Masayoshi Son alone. The board of directors is a gathering of elites, and everyone wants to make a fortune and become a new rich man who has emerged after the bubble era.

Kitahara Technology, unlike other Kitahara companies, has always been in a state of research and development. With the support of Kitahara Investment, it temporarily bypassed Japan and successfully went public in the United States. However, this only enriched a very small group of people. Now most of the senior executives Regardless of whether they have received the benefits of listing, many people are still worried about it.

Next door, Beiyuan Entertainment is booming. Beiyuan’s services and Beiyuan manpower are also advancing at the same time. It can’t compare with Beiyuan Investment and Beiyuan Bank. Now it seems that it can’t even compare with Beiyuan Automobile!

The profit from the launch of Kitahara 2 series mobile phones is not enough for them.

Kitahara Sosuke seemed to see his concerns and explained with a smile: “We are now in the development stage. If we do not popularize mobile phones and computers to open up the market, and only make money from the rich, how much will it cost? Our goal is always the general public. , accumulating a little makes a lot, is the eternal truth of getting rich.”

“Having said that, looking at last year’s financial report, Kitahara Technology is still losing money.” Son Zhengyi sighed helplessly. His dream is full, but the reality is very skinny. His own company is losing money, and he cannot hold his head high among his brothers. If it weren’t for Kitahara Sosuke By vigorously supporting the technology industry and saying it is the first of the three pillars of the future, Beiyuan Technology’s voice has long since plummeted.

“I will explain this matter at the annual meeting. How are the negotiations going with Steve Jobs?”

Kitahara Sosuke waved his hand.
