In fact, Howard is not young. He was born in 1942, and he is 63 years old. However, he has extensive contacts in the upper class of the American society. The American Sonny under his leadership has been booming in the past two years. As one of Sonny's directors, Mitsui also feels that it is time for him to abdicate. Howard was discovered by him and can be called his bole, His interests can also be guaranteed in the era of well exit after his resignation.

Born in Tokyo, his father was a professor at Waseda University. He went straight to Waseda University from Waseda high school, majoring in economics. After graduation, he stayed as a teacher in the Department of political economy. He is a manager with mixed reputation. He is not only rated as the most powerful operator in Asia by Fortune magazine, but also the worst manager by BusinessWeek, He once led 160000 Soni employees to create a turnover of 750 million yen.

However, due to the wrong decision-making, Soni has been managed by the entrepreneurial team personnel from science and technology, and the well is Soni's first professional manager who is not from the entrepreneurial team and non-technical personnel.

"Unlike the Japanese". This is almost the highest evaluation that Japanese entrepreneurs can get overseas. They have a wide range of friends. Half of them travel abroad every year. He is the board of directors of General Motors and Nestle, speaks English and French, and has a special liking for Porsche sports cars and Italian clothes.

In October 2003, Nobuyuki Inoue formulated the "transformation 60" plan ambitiously: three years later (the 60th anniversary of Soni) , the profit margin of the group reached 10%, which was five times that of last year. In three years, the group laid off about 20000 employees, closed some factories, adjusted the electronic business department, and approved an investment of US $4.5 billion in the research and development of new chips. He has been widely criticized for a series of mistakes, but what he never expected was that this would happen to Sonny under his leadership In the fatal crisis, not only was Sonny's collapse imminent, but his decent retirement became impossible.

The crisis was as sudden and devastating as the earthquake and tsunami. It was a pillar department two days ago, and the next moment was full of holes and crumbling.

The United States regards itself as open and compatible. In fact, it is the most exclusive country on the planet. In terms of form and consciousness, they exclude all foreign forces. In Hollywood's 100 year history, almost all foreign companies that buy Hollywood giants end in failure.

The United States is not only one of the inventors of film, but also regards film as a "trick" Create a unique thing and let it go far beyond its own matrix, literature and drama, so that everyone can understand and appreciate it. Today, the young Milligan has only been founded for 200 years, while the invention of film has been 120 years. That is to say, half of the history of the United States is accompanied by films, and there is no other country in the world like the United States Like, through concrete films rather than abstract words to record everything about the country (even the fantasy "future"), films have become the most important and popular thing in this country.

Out of the cinema, the whole country is like a film, which is the most charming charm of the United States. Jean Baudrillard, a French philosopher, said.

The Americans have almost no culture and history of their own, and this film is regarded as a part of culture by them.

When people talk about movies, they will think of Hollywood, but Hollywood is not the whole of American films. This not only means that today's American films are not made in studios around Los Angeles as in the golden age in the past, but also worth emphasizing that there is another film production and consumption system in addition to the entertainment industry referred to by Hollywood, although this system is unique It is not an independent kingdom. It can even be said that you have me and I have you with Hollywood, but in essence, the starting point of the creation of films produced in this system is personal expression, not commercial box office. As for the audience of these films, they visit cinemas not only for entertainment.

Akio Morita was once complacent about entering the core of American culture after the acquisition of Columbia film. He even had the kind of Caesar: "I'm here, I see, I conquer." How important it is to change the cultural output of the American people. This can gradually change the image of the Japanese in the eyes of the American people. It is difficult to do with much money.

Akio Morita was once regarded as a national hero by the Japanese, not only because he founded Soni, which can represent "made in Japan" It is also because he completed the M & A of Columbia film, which represents the image of the United States, under his auspices. When he acquired Colombia, he did not turn Sonny into a media group. More importantly, he started from national pride and spent $6 billion, which did not hurt him.

It is generally recognized that the Columbia M & A case is that Akio Morita (Chairman) has a visionary intuition and that ohga Dianxiong (CEO) managers pay attention to the freaks under the vacancy of responsibility * *.

During the period from 1985 to 1990, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar rose unprecedentedly, so that the buying frenzy of the Japanese swept the depths of the US territory. The stock disaster in October 1987 greatly stimulated the pace of Japan's entry into the US.

If the military aggression of Pearl Harbor left the Americans endless pain and revenge, then the "territorial aggression" in the late 1980s It makes the Americans have a series of extreme reactions in the intersection of history and reality, and Hollywood is the Holy Land in the hearts of the Americans. Its involvement must establish a huge opposite and mobilize some hysterical Anti Japanese public emotions.

Newsweek's cover of the week when the merger was concluded was designed as follows: a sculpture girl with Columbia logo was dressed in Rb kimono, and the headline read: "the Japanese invaded Hollywood!"

In this regard, countless Japanese people, including Akio Morita, feel complacent and have a strong sense of national pride. This 6 billion yuan is worth it. It's like being an American again. As for how to make profits after M & A and how to explain to shareholders, this is not what he, an old man with a stroke, can care about.

Akio Morita and Dianxiong ohga have become national heroes, but this shit must be wiped by the successor of Nobuyuki Inoue. Fortunately, the success of Inoue Inoue has turned the loss into profit, achieved the greatest glory in their career, and also took advantage of the situation to become a new generation of leaders.

But all their hard work turned into nothing in the backhand. Under the strength of the American people, sonny, once brilliant, was as vulnerable as a castle on the beach.

Now the Americans turn over their old accounts and believe that business behavior is an invasion of American culture, which has attracted the counterattack of the whole people. In the face of the fierce attack like the earthquake and tsunami, their parry is so weak, just like a helpless girl ravaged by a fierce man.

Invading Hollywood and conquering the American people made them complacent, but the American counterattack stripped them of their bright clothes and was in an ugly state.

Out of the well, he sat alone in the incomparably luxurious office and sat in the seat that allowed him to rule the world. However, he was full of anxiety and fear. He sat in the Dragon seat and watched the doomsday hesitation of the enemy's army attacking the capital and destroying the Empire.

On the second day, all stocks that resumed normal trading fell sharply, and the decline could not be stopped. Affected by this, stocks traded in Tokyo, Xiangjiang, London, Berlin and other places also fell all the way. Of course, they did not fall so miserably in the United States. People threw it out like a red soldering iron.

Under the publicity of newspapers and television, a wave of boycotts against Sonny has sprung up all over the country. The demonstrations are peaceful. Many Sonny stores have been smashed and robbed. Among the youth groups, they used to be proud of coming to Sonny walkmans and P2P game consoles, but now they are regarded as unpatriotic. Their turnover has been at zero turnover for several days, This trend even spread to the whole Japanese products.

Even the State Council responded to the Japanese ambassador's protest: "this is a spontaneous act of the people. The government has not played any role in it, but Sonny has played an ignominious role in it. This result is not surprising."

As early as November 16 last year, President Bush nominated rice to succeed Powell as secretary of state. The Senate will confirm her nomination on June 26. Rice's proposition has always been the main means to solve foreign relations by military means. She has a tough style. She is a hawk like former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and other officials. She has always been a Japanese, In particular, knowing that there were signs of the activities of the Morgan consortium behind the incident, she was more willing to add to the icing on the cake.

In the face of the Japanese ambassador's protest, she criticized Sonny for being uneasy about doing business, wolf ambition and meddling in American national treasures.

The reason for this is MJ. He has a very high status among blacks. Since the evidence proves that he is innocent in the greedy child case and does not hate his black identity to be bleached into white, the strong black female secretary of state has changed her attitude of ignoring him and must support him both publicly and privately. The statement of the Secretary of state is also equivalent to the official statement of the government, The Japanese completely put an end to the idea of solving the crisis through official channels.

Their temptation also realized that the official intervention would only make the problem worse and let more Japanese enterprises get involved in this vortex. Looking at the spread of the boycott trend from the boycott Sonny family to the whole Japanese family, they decided not to be a platform for multinational enterprises, but to put aside the matter and express their attitude. It was just what the Sonny family did and had nothing to do with other Japanese enterprises.

The expected rescuer has become a clear-cut bystander, which makes Sonny's situation more difficult. He and his staff flew to the United States to deal with the matter personally, but at present, no one can turn over unless God comes.

"Even if God comes, he has to help his believers," Martin said solemnly to his boss.
