Chapter 1140 Apply Eye Drops
The product has been developed, and the next step is to promote it. Takakura Jiro fulfilled his promise and gave everyone two days off, but everyone did it separately, and someone had to stay in the computer room. But he didn't take a break. As a core member of the team, setting an example is very important. Once you decide to become the supervisor of these people, there is no room for slacking off.
We are all classmates and graduated from the same major at the same time. Why are you the supervisor when you come up and we are just ordinary employees? Could it be that just because he graduated first, the truth may not make perfect sense. The word leader sounds very comfortable, but it is not that easy to do, especially when you are surrounded by people of the same age.
Akio Morita heard that it was because of Takakura Jiro's team that he changed his mind, and of course he wanted to come and see it in person. These young people spend a lot of money. If they don't produce convincing results, it will be difficult for them to explain to the board of directors. Businesses are not philanthropic; every investment must be rewarded. If you get nothing in the end, no amount of money will be enough to lose.
Seeing Akio Morita coming over, Takakura Jiro said excitedly: "Your Excellency, President, the first phase of Sony's office inventory management system has been successfully developed. It has reached the conditions for listing, and now we are considering how to promote it."
Akio Morita was very happy to hear this, and at the same time he also knew why the Ibuka Conference was so supportive of this group of young people. It turns out that we are seeing results; but this is good, at least it means that he has brought about some changes when he takes charge of Sony.
Takakura Jiro didn't say much and started to demonstrate to Akio Morita. No words are more direct than looking at physical objects and data.
Akio Morita is also well-informed, but he knows that domestic companies in Japan absolutely do not have such an easy-to-use office system. Perhaps only American companies; of course, with the technical strength of Heiyun Group, they may have already mastered it. Now that you have seen the results, you need to consider how to monetize them.
Such an easy-to-use system must be used internally by Sony first; after all, the good news does not go to outsiders. And it is also more convincing. How can the quality and advantages be reflected in a product that even the company itself does not believe in?
Akio Morita said very seriously: "Since it has been successfully developed, it will be used within Sony first. All departments of the company must fully cooperate and employees should work hard to learn. This is the future trend, and Sony must not fall behind."
Sony and Mitsubishi can jointly produce large-scale industrial computers, and they can also produce home computers themselves. As for network cables and routers, they can only be purchased from Heiyun Group at present; setting up an office system is not a problem.
But personnel application is a troublesome matter; when it comes to computer systems, even in Japan, they are synonymous with high-end. Many Sony employees don't know how to use computers, let alone specific applications.
Takakura Jiro: "Everything else is easy to handle. After all, Sony can produce many products by itself. It's just that personnel training is a troublesome thing. This system requires everyone's cooperation. If any link is hindered, the final effect will be greatly compromised."
Hearing this, Akio Morita felt that this was really an opportunity. The merchant's reaction speed can be said to be vividly reflected at this time.
For old employees who don’t study seriously or don’t want to learn. Either he should be transferred out of his position or he should do something else; if that doesn't work, he can only be asked to find another job. In the future development of enterprises, computers will inevitably be used extensively; if you don't even know how to use computers, you may not be suitable for working in a high-tech enterprise like Sony.
Akio Morita: "Don't feel any burden, Mr. Takakura. You are only responsible for teaching; don't worry about other things. As for those who don't learn, they may no longer be suitable to work at Sony."
"But I only have one request, and that is speed. Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone will come to the company for inspection in half a month, and I hope that Sony's office inventory management system can work."
After hearing the president's support, I added that the Prime Minister would come over. This group of young people who graduated from Yulin Institute of Technology are very excited. When the Prime Minister comes, he will definitely bring the media with him. Isn’t this a good opportunity to promote your products? You must not miss the opportunity, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For Takakura Jiro's team, the most important thing is work enthusiasm and efficiency. They all want to achieve a career, and each company has limited positions. You can only do it by breaking the rules.
With Akio Morita's instructions, the various departments below were very cooperative. No one dares to provoke him now. If he did, his days at Sony would probably be over.
The construction team of more than 200 people made the construction progress rapidly. In less than a week, computers were installed in all major Sony leadership offices, workshops, departments, factories, and libraries.
Many people are lamenting that the company's treatment is getting better and better; each of them is actually equipped with a computer.
But what employees don't know is that the computer is where the nightmare begins.
No matter who you are, as long as you reach a certain position, you must be proficient in the Sony Office Inventory Management System. At first I thought it was a simple and happy employee; now I regret it. There is new data to be input every day, and before I had to rely on notes. Now you have to take notes and input on the computer, which invisibly increases the workload. Moreover, I am not very proficient in computer operation, so I have to work overtime to complete it.
No one is willing to work overtime for no reason and without many benefits. The development of science and technology requires a process, and accepting new things also takes some time. However, Akio Morita was obviously not prepared to waste too much time on this link, which caused complaints within Sony.
Kijiro Maeda is one of the founders of Sony and the grandson of Takato Maeda. After Ibuka retired, he became the leader of the die-hard faction. Currently, he is Sony's vice president in charge of human resources; it can be said that he is responsible for personnel appointments and dismissals, employee recruitment and other tasks.
Before, Morita Akio established a new department and promoted Takakura Jiro out of the norm, which had made Maeda Kijiro very dissatisfied. This was definitely something that he could not tolerate. Akio Morita was destroying his authority and did not take him as the vice president seriously.
According to Kijiro Maeda, there are personnel issues within Sony. Especially when it comes to recruitment and new hires, everything should go through him, the vice president in charge of human resources. Although the matter is not big, it is simply child's play for a child to serve as a supervisor-level leader.
Now, all departments in the company are asked to learn from a group of idiots, and if they don't learn well, they will be transferred from their posts. I didn't communicate with him beforehand. This is absolutely intolerable.
He didn't dare to approach Akio Morita directly, after all, the latter was only a few years older than him. But after all, it was one of the three Sony carriages that worked together with my grandfather and uncle, so I could discuss this matter with my uncle.
Maeda Takato has four children, Maeda Kijiro's father is the eldest son, and Ibuka's wife is the youngest daughter. In other words, Ibuka is Maeda Kijiro's biological uncle, but his aunt is no longer alive.
Ibuka felt strange about the arrival of Kijiro Maeda. Since he retired and this kid became the vice president, he has basically not been to the house. What kind of song was he singing today? He actually came to see him, who was idle at home.
And it looked like something was definitely going on. This kid is a person who can't afford to stay early without any benefit. He will never come here if he doesn't ask for anything.
Ibuka: "It's Kijiro here. I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been lately?"
Ibuka didn't like his nephew very much either. If it weren't for my father-in-law's kindness, I really wouldn't want him to work at Sony. It is precisely because of his existence that Sony lags behind other companies in talent recruitment. And this kid is very lustful, which is normal for a man.
But the rabbit didn't want to eat the grass on the edge of the nest, so this guy specifically picked internal employees to attack. In the past, I often helped him wipe his butt, making the company a mess.
If you come home now, nothing will happen.
Maeda Kijiro said aggrievedly: "Akio Morita is becoming more and more domineering and does not take into account the rules and regulations you formulated back then. Our human resources department is simply in name only."
"He makes all the decisions on his own. He is particularly greedy for power. To describe him as domineering is just an understatement."
Hearing his nephew's words getting more and more outrageous, Ibuka quickly interrupted: "If you have anything to tell me, Akio Morita, could you have arranged it behind your back?"
The preparations have been made, and Maeda Kijiro doesn't want to talk nonsense. He said directly: "There is a college student who has just graduated, and he is still studying in Xiangjiang. He is not very capable, but he has a good temper. Akio Morita actually handed over the newly formed department to him directly and appointed him as the department head. It is seriously inconsistent with the company. The process makes the old employees very chilled.”
