Chapter 2069 A Big Event That I Almost Forgot!
Rao Yin Jun didn't want to participate in public market activities anymore, but "Kirin Weekly" sent a request, saying that he hadn't been to Japan for many years, and it was necessary to have a meeting with die-hard comic fans Face to face communication.
Thinking that in the next 30 years, the Japanese market will be the largest overseas market of "Kirin Weekly", Yin Jun can only agree to this request.
On the morning of the second day after the meeting with Zhou Fang Yuxiong, a manga fan meeting was held in Akihabara, Tokyo early in the morning.
Although the time was short this time, because the "Kirin Weekly" fan club is the largest comic fan organization in Japan, with more than 6 million official members, this is why the students were not included.
Don't doubt, young people in Japan, even those who are married, will like to read manga very much.
This habit developed since childhood, as well as finding joy in comics that they don't have in their lives, are important reasons why they are willing to immerse themselves in the comic world.
Even if you go to Akihabara, most of the support clubs of those girl groups are uncles over 40 years old. On the contrary, those young guys are not so crazy.
So after urgently contacting Tokuma Shoten, Asahi Group, and the fan club, 300 of the most loyal, active, and fanatical comic fans were selected from the fan club that night, and invited them to participate in this event.
The comic fans who got the invitation were overjoyed. No matter how far apart they were, they immediately took transportation and gathered towards Tokyo.
Naturally, "Kirin Weekly" was not only responsible for their round-trip travel expenses, but also responsible for their accommodation and meals in a five-star hotel in Tokyo for two nights.
This considerate measure made them even more happy.
Because this represents an attitude, proving that Yin Jun and "Kirin Weekly" care about them and care about them.
The whole meeting was carried out in an excited and enthusiastic atmosphere. From 9:00 am to 12:00 am, Yin Jun's voice was a little hoarse.
This is the first time.
Although he hated those Japanese very much, it was impossible for him to show an expression of disgust in the face of so many fanatical fans.
After all, they are the cornerstone of Kirin Group's growth. Without their fanatical support from the beginning, it would be impossible for Kirin Group to be where it is today.
At the beginning, "Kirin Weekly" jumped to the top three manga weekly magazines after two months in Japan. After half a year, it directly became the number one in Japan. Such excellent results have made countless banks Willing to lend to Kylin Culture.
Without this supermarket with a population of 150 million, how could it be possible for Xiangjiang to grow so quickly only by relying on the local market in Xiangjiang?
So after having lunch, Yin Juncai said goodbye to them and left, and went directly to Sony's headquarters.
The boy did not expect that at the entrance of the Sony headquarters building, not only many journalists were surrounded, but even the white-haired Jing Shenda and Morita Akio stood at the entrance.
The two creators of Sony Corporation can be described as a microcosm of the Japanese economic miracle.
Decades ago, no one could have imagined that such a company from a hometown could develop into the scale it is today.
And this is far from Sony's peak period. After Sony directly conquered the U.S. market and successfully integrated the U.S. market, becoming the second largest entertainment and media giant in the U.S. will be their most glorious moment. when.
Unfortunately, such glory did not last long.
The United States is making great strides, but at the head office in Japan, various businesses continue to decline, various markets are constantly weakened, and even the headquarters building is sold to reduce expenses and make up for holes.
If it weren't for some non-core businesses such as the PS game industry that they didn't think of, and finally made a sudden effort to save Sony, I am afraid that in 2020, Sony will really be in a slump.
But now, Sony does not have this problem.
Jing Shenda has slowly retreated behind the scenes. Under the leadership of Akio Morita, Sony's various businesses are booming, and it seems to be a rising superstar.
Whether it's TV sets, radio cassette players, Walkmans, etc., Sony's products are not only selling well all over Japan, but also selling well all over the world.
Yin Jun's Kirin radio recorder and Walkman just occupied the Chinese market and took a share of the Asian market, but he has already made a lot of money in developed countries.
If it weren't for being so rich, they wouldn't have acquired CBS and Columbia Tristar Films a few years later, directly occupying a place in American media and entertainment from scratch, and being one of the six giants.
Thoughts flashed by.
The scene where Yin Jun got out of the car and exchanged pleasantries with Jing Shenda and Morita Akio was frantically filmed by Japanese reporters.
I think in the next few days, they will focus on this and hype the cooperation between Kirin Group and Sony, as well as the news that Sony is so powerful.
After all, Jing Shenda is old. He is 77 years old this year. Apart from controlling the overall situation as the representative director and chairman, he no longer cares about the company's operation.
This time I came here just to express my welcome and attention to Yin Jun's presence.
By the time Yin Jun sat in Akio Morita's office, he had already returned home in his own car.
Compared with the aging Ibuka, the 64-year-old Akio Morita is just at the peak of his life.
Although the strength and body are no longer comparable to young people, but the thinking and experience accumulated over decades, as well as the spirit of never admitting defeat, are fully manifested in this old man.
Like ordinary Japanese, he wore a straight suit and had a polite attitude. When talking to Yin Jun, he showed a smile that was rarely seen in front of his subordinates.
"I remember the last time, Mr. Yin, you came to Japan. It should be 4 years ago?" Akio Morita said with a smile, "At that time, Ms. Teresa Deng happened to be producing and releasing an album here, and you even danced for her. , It’s really the duty of being extremely chic and unrestrained!”
Yin Jun is the mysterious dancer in "The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss". This point has been recognized by the Japanese as early as two or three years ago.
Although Yin Jun has never admitted it, and Deng Lijun has not revealed it, but this cannot be hidden from the very careful Japanese.
When Akio Morita said this, of course, he did not mean to satirize him as a talented young man and a rich man, but he danced for a woman. Instead, he expressed admiration for Yin Jun's talent and ability to do whatever he wanted.
The boy did not answer, but smiled slightly: "Japan is a place full of vitality and positive. Every time I come here, I can feel different things. I think even within three to five years, Japan can't catch up with the United States, but if it continues to move forward with this momentum, it will definitely see the light."
Akio Morita became happy.
He had heard too many compliments, but when he said them from Yin Jun's mouth, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
After all, this boy is a genius recognized by the whole world and one of the smartest people. It is remarkable that he can admire the Japanese economy, even if most of it is polite.
"Yes, our GDP growth rate in Japan last year was 60%, and it is expected to exceed this amount this year, which is very remarkable." Akio Morita said, "But too high and too fast is not a good thing, so recently Due to the pressure from the United States, we also signed a Plaza Accord, planning to slow down a bit, then sum up the experience and lessons, and start after a rest!"
Plaza Accord?
After listening to Akio Morita's words, Yin Jun suddenly remembered this matter.
How else to put it, after a person succeeds, he will not be as cautious as before?
Obviously, the three words "1985, Japan, Guangzhou" were outlined by Yin Jun, but recently he was busy filming and taking care of his wife and daughter, Yin Jun actually forgot!
In September 1985, five countries, the United States, Germany, France, Britain, and Japan, signed a "Plaza Accord" in the United States, the core content of which was to appreciate the Japanese currency, which has always been a strong exporter.
Because Japan's products are cheap and of good quality, the manufacturing products of these countries have been defeated, so they unite to put pressure on Japan.
If Japan does not agree to the appreciation of the Japanese currency and increase the price of export goods, they will unite to greatly increase the punitive tariffs on Japan and limit the import of Japanese products to the greatest extent.
In this case, on the one hand, if you do not sign the contract, you will basically cut off the destination of sales. On the other hand, if you sign the contract, the value of the goods will increase, and the competitiveness of Japanese products will be greatly reduced.
After thinking about it, Japan still agreed to the appreciation of the yen.
Because relying solely on Japan's domestic market, as well as the markets of those poor countries, cannot satisfy the production capacity of Japanese products.
On the one hand, it is possible to sell less and earn less, but on the other hand, it is impossible to earn at all.
The lesser of two evils, the Japanese can only choose the appreciation of the yen.
If it is changed to 30 years later, next to neighbors with extremely strong consumption power and a population of 1.5 billion, Japan will simply ignore the threats of these countries and directly transfer more energy to China.
The population of a Chinese country is larger than that of the United States and Western Europe combined.
And at that time, the purchasing power of Chinese people was not lost to many developed countries.
But now, Huaguo is still too poor, Japan. Japan is only helping Huaguo, preparing to cultivate Huaguo to become their OEM site, but never thought of making money from the Huaguo market.
Therefore, when those people in later generations talked about the signing of the Plaza Accord by Japan, it was a burst of irony and ridicule, which was not in line with the environment and specific conditions at that time.
But Yin Jun doesn't care about these, because Japan has nothing to do with China in the lost 30 years after the Plaza Accord.
If it weren't for Japan's rapid decline, where would it be Hua Guo's turn to take the lead?
Later generations of China also developed rapidly like Japan. The same thing is that China's manufacturing is invincible all over the world. The United States and the European Union are also constantly exerting pressure on China.
It looks exactly the same as Japan, and the ending seems to be similar.
But!
The biggest difference between Huaguo and Japan is that Huaguo has 1.5 billion people!
No matter how difficult it is to export, Huaguo can survive only by relying on its own market!
Try to see if Japan has 1.5 billion people and can fully meet the needs of productivity, will they sign the Plaza Accord?
Even if they are afraid of the United States, they will not be a bird at all to places such as the European Union and South America!
Therefore, Huaguo resisted all kinds of pressure from Europe and the United States, and only paid a small price, and successfully continued its own industrial manufacturing exports.
Even though there has been a downturn for more than ten years, overall, it is much, much better than Japan's miserable past!
