Chapter 1143 A Big Game of Chess

Heiyun Group has a lot of staff in Japan. If there is any trouble, Bao Zixuan will know it immediately, and he must know it. As a well-known Japanese company, Sony is also a major competitor; when Nakasone Yasuhiro inspected, there were commercial spies from the Black Cloud Group nearby.

As a principal, I was very pleased to learn that Jiro Takakura developed the Sony office inventory management system. At least it proves that his students are very capable, and it will also be of great benefit to the school's reputation. But Bao Zixuan is not only the president of a university, but also an entrepreneur.

The software mainly requires the cost of early-stage research and development, and the cost of late-stage copying and maintenance can be ignored. As long as it is developed and recognized by the market and customers, you can just wait and count the money at home. This is why every time Heiyun Group is short of funds, it will transfer funds from software companies; because Bao Zixuan knows that the revenue capabilities of software companies are absolutely reassuring.

But now that the Japanese have developed their own office software, it will be difficult for Heiyun products, including American software companies, to enter. The Japanese are very xenophobic, especially when Takakura Jiro mentions network security, he will pay special attention to it.

Although the profits from orders for the Prime Minister's Official Residence are not high, their influence is unparalleled. Therefore, after receiving the first external order, many companies began to visit Sony for inspection. As a result, Takakura Jiro's popularity in Japan has skyrocketed, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a household name.

While the public lamented Bao Zixuan's vicious vision, they also praised Akio Morita. It was he who sent his children to study abroad in Xiangjiang, so that Takakura Jiro's rough diamond was polished; he was entrusted with important tasks just after graduation. Everything is showing people what the entrepreneurial decision-making ability is.

At this time, Akio Morita's status in Sony had surpassed that of Ibuka. This shows that Sony's second venture was successful. At least in terms of computer software, Sony is already the well-deserved number one in Japan.

Bao Zixuan was not idle at this moment. After spending three days with his wife, he got into working mode. Although he is about to become a father, for Bao Zixuan, there is no room for failure in the development of the enterprise.

In the office of the chairman of Heiyun Group, Leonard Bosak submitted an analysis report. Bao Zixuan took it politely, glanced through it quickly, and said, "How are the students' graduation works? Did they disappoint you, the teacher?"

Seeing that Bao Zixuan seemed to be fine, Bosak was really impressed. The strength of his competitors cannot be underestimated, but the boss is still calm and composed; it is estimated that he may not be able to develop this kind of magnanimity until his death.

Writing such excellent software is actually said to be a graduation project; I don’t know whether it’s because I am blindly arrogant or overconfident! But the man in front of me does have this strength. After all, Sony's software still has some gaps compared with Heiyun. But it was enough to shock Bosak. After all, it only took Sony less than a year to develop the product. In the future competition, it is still unclear whether we will catch up with or surpass Black Cloud.

Leonard Bosak said with a serious face: "I am not as optimistic as you. Teaching the apprentice and starving the master should be your Chinese proverb. Although I never want this to happen, but there are some things who Nothing can stop it.”

"Takakura Jiro's software already has 80% of the functions of Heiyun's similar products. We are superior in compression algorithm at most, but have no obvious advantages in other aspects. If you think this is a student's graduation work, then it can definitely reach the level of a doctorate." .”

"Without changes, we will lose the Japanese office software market."

The word "Japanese market" is very important. With the rapid economic development in recent years, the Japanese have entered the buying, buying, buying mode in the world. No company dares to ignore its terrifying consumption power.

Leonard Posaksu mainly works at Yulin Institute of Technology, but Bao Zixuan wants to train him well. In his previous life, this kid was kicked out of the company by John Chambers and other board members because he didn't know how to be flexible in management. Currently, there is no shortage of programmers in Heiyun, but there are very few comprehensive talents who understand R&D, management and integration.

Several people must be trained in a targeted manner, and Leonard Bosak is one of them. I was reluctant to leave the laboratory, but I knew my boss’s original intention, so I wasn’t too entangled. Moreover, it is not the case that my wife is pregnant and always stays in the laboratory.

Bao Zixuan: "Science and technology will never end. The field of electronic computers is constantly innovating; this is true for both hardware and software. The Japanese market itself is difficult to enter. These Japanese have never trusted outsiders."

"And we must plan many things in advance. We must not be able to do business alone. When a company reaches a certain scale, it must take the initiative to cultivate competitors. The U.S. Department of Commerce is not easy to mess with, and we cannot let them seize any leverage at the moment."

"As long as the most advanced technology is always in our hands, there is nothing to fear! Sony's support for Takakura Jiro is much smaller than my support for you. And I believe that you, the teacher, will never lose. To your own students.”

In fact, I originally didn't want to say so much to this scholar-type talent, but since he must be reused, it would be safer to explain.

Leonard Bosak did not expect that his boss would consider the US Department of Commerce; he had only heard about it before, but now he discovered that running a good business is not as simple as imagined. It doesn't mean that everything will be fine just because your products are good, your services are good, and your customers are satisfied; you need to consider all factors and coordinate the interests of everyone.

What Bao Zixuan didn't know was that it was because of his words that the former founder of Cisco gave up the idea of ​​starting a business. It was probably an unintentional intervention!

Leonard Bosak: "Of course we have the technical advantage, and we will definitely continue to work hard in the future. But the market is only so big, and Japan is a presence that cannot be ignored. It's really unacceptable to just watch from the sidelines."

In fact, Bao Zixuan is preparing for the Plaza Agreement. According to the memory of his previous life, this agreement is about to be signed. But that was based on the situation where major Japanese companies were beating the world. In this life, it was because of the emergence of Heiyun Group. Japanese companies do not have much advantage in many aspects, and some are even pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Even so, the revenue of Japanese companies is not much smaller. Moreover, because Bao Zixuan invested heavily in Japan in the past and even asked his partners and friends to come over, the Japanese real estate and stock markets were even crazier than in his previous life. Now the stock market and property market have reached the level of the previous life at the end of 1985, which shows how crazy they are.

In the past, the Japanese thought that they were controlled by others in terms of software, so with the successful development of Sony's office inventory management system by Takakura Jiro. It shows that Japan has reached the world's advanced level in the field of software. At most, it will be worse than Heiyun Group and the United States, and it is definitely among the top three in the world.

Moreover, the developers are still a group of young people, which means there is unlimited hope in the future. At this time, the Japanese had pinned their hopes on the software industry on Takakura Jiro. After all, this kid had proven himself with practical actions.

Things turned out just as Bao Zixuan expected, after the success of office software. Development of other software has begun, and investment in computer hardware has also been increased to some extent. In short, Japan is currently prosperous.

The Japanese are gearing up, and of course the Americans will find out. Then their attention will be diverted away from Heiyun Group, at least not as closely as before; this is the result that Bao Shoufang wants.

There is so much investment in Japan if the Plaza Accord is not signed. Given the urinary nature of the Japanese, they certainly do not want the yen to appreciate on a large scale. On the surface, it looks like wealth is increasing, but it is very detrimental to exports. Japan is just an island country. If major companies do not have an export advantage, how can they support their workers?

Therefore, the Plaza Agreement is a document that must be signed, and Bao Zixuan cannot afford to take the risk. If the Plaza Accord had not been signed, the investments of Black Cloud Group and Blackstone Fund in Japan could not be described as heavy losses.

Looking at the high-spirited Takakura Jiro in the newspaper, and of course the ambitious Morita Akio. Bao Zixuan was finally relieved. Improving Japanese software strength was the last thing he wanted to see. But to destroy it, you must make the other party go crazy first. It seems that the effect is pretty good so far. At least the Japanese have firmly believed that they can also become the world's number one in the software field.

Combined with the advantages of other original products, Japanese companies will definitely have great potential in the future. As for the Plaza Accord, it is not unacceptable.

You must give something sweet before doing things, otherwise the Japanese people will always find various reasons for rejection given their shrewdness.

When my grandpa passed away, it was really not easy to live to the age of 95. It was considered a joy and a loss, but not so sad. So I went home for a few days, and I'm very sorry.
