Chapter 3295 This is outrageous!
Why are we always the ones who get hurt?
An angry voice came from the luxurious office, and the staff waiting outside all lowered their heads, their faces full of fear.
The guy in the house has been in a bad mood lately, especially after the Huaxia Jiaoyang 75 computer was launched, because he smashed everything in the office that day.
A trusted confidant went in to offer advice, but was slapped twenty times in a row. Don't ask them how they knew so clearly, because every slap was so clear and loud.
When that confidant came out, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he's still being cared for at home!
Now, another piece of news has arrived, which has made the leaders, who were already on the verge of losing their temper, finally lose their temper!
Papapa
The sounds of objects being smashed and thrown rang out continuously. At the same time, there was that same curse repeated over and over again.
We're always the ones who get hurt.
They also wanted to know, what the hell was going on?
Since the outbreak of the epidemic ten years ago, their island nation has not had a smooth year.
Just as the economy was starting to pick up and the country was entering a golden age of development, an epidemic set it back thirty years.
After that epidemic broke out, the national population decreased by one-tenth.
Twenty years of population growth, and a generation died from the epidemic.
The key point is that, according to the international investigation into this epidemic, it was actually something they themselves created.
This left them with nowhere to voice their grievances.
Finally, a cure was available, and the country paid a huge price to stabilize the situation that was on the verge of collapse.
But after that incident, their money started flowing to the country on the other side.
That's the country they hate.
Then came all sorts of things.
An epidemic can be very damaging.
In international competitions, they were completely outmatched by their opponents.
Then there are various targeted measures in the commercial sphere.
From rice cookers and pressure cookers to today's photocopiers and printers, and now even computers, no one can escape unscathed once they've encountered them.
Other aspects are also not good.
Seeing the other side launch their satellite into space, they also wanted to secretly launch one.
As a result, the other party found out and fined them 10 billion US dollars. The key point is that they have to hand over 4 billion of that 10 billion to the other party, which is extremely humiliating.
The problem is that not only were they fined, but their rocket also exploded, which is really upsetting.
Then there was the game console incident. Whether the boss and a group of shareholders went to heaven is unknown, but they certainly did.
Following the Kosaka Castle incident, the entire Japanese island became a hellish place, and the Japanese government was powerless to resolve the situation, causing its international image to plummet.
There was a series of other things, each one weighing heavily on their hearts, causing them pain every time they thought about them.
It feels like their national fortunes have been like two separate lines over the years.
However, their line has been declining since the golden decade.
Conversely, the country on the other side entered a golden decade, and it was on the rise.
Nowadays, I only feel that the distance between the two sides is widening.
The other side is above them; they are descending.
Snapped
Another crisp sound came from inside the house, once again disrupting everyone's thoughts. Then, one by one, they composed themselves and pretended to remain calm.
Anyone who's not perceptive at this time is bound to suffer bad luck.
crunch
The door opened, and Mutsuki Sakai walked out with a calm expression, not even glancing at the expressions of the people around her, and quickly headed towards the door.
"Call Sony, I need to go over there."
"Also, call on Li Yuan."
Sony Group offices.
Gao Mingyuexiang knelt on the ground, her expression stern.
Harris, standing nearby, was holding the phone with a serious expression.
"Sir, this is the current situation."
Harris spoke respectfully, and an aged voice came from the other end of the phone, "How many units have you produced so far?"
"One million two hundred thousand units."
"We made many preparations in order to replace Dawn One in one fell swoop."
Harris spoke softly, his face showing some anxiety.
When they acquired the manufacturing technology for the Huaxia Dawn No. 1 computer, they were overjoyed.
Therefore, in order to crush the market of Huaxia Chenxi No. 1 in one fell swoop, they formulated a detailed plan and prepared a large number of computers for this purpose.
At that time, they will replace Dawn One in one fell swoop.
That means they will no longer be constrained by Chinese computers, and they will no longer need to hire Chinese engineers to annoy them.
But who would have thought that just as they were preparing for a large-scale replacement, China would launch a new computer called "Sunshine".
Only then did they realize that this was China's backup plan.
This reminded them of the video game consoles and photocopiers of the past, and then they paid the price for their arrogance.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, which made Harris very panicked.
"gentlemen!"
When I asked again, I heard a "hmm" on the phone, followed by silence.
"Sir, can we analyze the Huaxia's Jiaoyang 75?"
Harris asked in a low voice, but the other side remained silent.
This made Harris very uneasy.
After what seemed like an eternity, a voice finally came through the phone: "What are the initial losses?"
"Sir, we produced 1.2 million units, according to..."
Give me a number.
"Oh, okay, we're going to lose about ten billion dollars!"
"This is calculated based on the current market price."
Harris quickly added, "Of course, if we calculate based on the cost price, it would probably be less than half."
But as qualified businesspeople, they produce products for profit.
Nowadays, even if goods cannot be sold, their prices cannot be lowered, as that would violate the rules of capital operation.
Therefore, the amount that is required should be the amount required.
"In this way, the Japanese government will procure and immediately replace the current Dawn One."
Upon hearing the latest instructions over the phone, Harris's eyes widened abruptly. Even someone as experienced as the ups and downs of the business world and the cutthroat competition was taken aback by the other party's words.
"What, your computers can't even do this?"
Perhaps because he didn't hear a direct response from Harris, an unhappy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Harris quickly came to his senses and said even more humbly, "No, sir."
"The computers we have already produced are perfectly capable of meeting current needs."
"It can completely replace Dawn-1 and can be used in various fields."
"Very good, that's settled."
It seemed like there was something urgent on the other end of the phone, and the call ended after the speaker finished speaking.
Harris put down the phone, and Gao Mingyuexiang, who was kneeling beside him, immediately stood up and stepped forward, her face anxious.
"Honey, what should we do now?"
Gao Mingyuexiang looked anxious. You should know that their JP50 was not made by one company, but by a collaboration of manufacturers with technical capabilities and capital across the entire Japanese island.
They invested so much in this computer.
If this computer fails to produce results and make money, the number of people climbing onto balconies will likely be even greater than in the Canon incident.
To make money, after deducting costs such as research and development, each computer needs to generate at least $5,000 in profit.
Back in May, they had absolutely no doubt about whether it could be achieved. After all, Dawn One cost $40,000 in Japan, so a price of $30,000 would have been reasonable for them, given their desire to develop their economy.
This would result in a profit of $25,000 per unit.
Everyone can make money and bring glory to the country.
But now?
Let alone 30,000 US dollars, if Chinese computers were to land on the Japanese islands, even with the support of patriotism, I estimate they wouldn't sell many.
Because they have used the glorious sun of China.
That's really good.
The gap was too big, and they lost all confidence.
Moreover, the people buying computers in Japan were not Chinese, but rather merchants from the United States.
There is an ironclad rule on the Japanese island: never offend a merchant from the United States.
Because offending these guys can really kill you.
Gao Mingyuexiang waited anxiously for Harris's reply, but Harris looked conflicted.
The instructions above are easy to understand.
Transfer damage.
They shifted their losses onto the Japanese islands.
That's easier said than done. How is he supposed to do it?
We can't just say, "This is what the United States of America means."
But if he doesn't say it that way, how can he convince the other party to agree?
I'm feeling agitated, and my mind is a complete mess.
Just then, Gao Mingyuexiang leaned in to ask what was going on, and Harris slapped her across the face.
The crisp sound of the slap startled Gao Mingyuexiang, but her inherent good manners made her composed herself, and she bent over sharply, calling out, "Hi!"
Harris stared at the other person, then took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over.
At this moment, you don't need to think about anything; you just need to vent and release the pent-up emotions from this period of time.
Outside the office, all was deathly silent.
No one dared to make a sound at that moment.
They thought of Canon, and they thought of Bird of Paradise.
Furthermore, there are hundreds of thousands of computers stored in the warehouse.
These were all made with considerable manpower and resources.
But if you can't sell them, what's the difference between them and scrap?
Without money, they would lose their wages.
The thought of not receiving a salary caused many people's faces to change.
Buy a house with a loan and make monthly payments.
This has become an inescapable burden on their backs.
Just as everyone was looking down at the sounds coming from inside the room, their eyes glazed over and they were at a loss, the elevator in the office building suddenly opened, and a group of people walked in.
The person in charge was none other than Mutsuki Sakai, a high-ranking official from Japan.
Today, Mutsuki Sakai's face lacked its usual composure, and her usual jewel-encrusted appearance was gone, leaving only disheveled hair and a hurried expression.
Da da da
Seven or eight people followed him quickly toward the office building. Only then did the people nearby realize what was going on.
Someone tried to stand up to stop them so that the two people inside could have time to tidy up, but the people behind them pushed them aside.
Soon, Mutsuki Sakai led the bald old man to the door, and then they heard soft, seductive music coming from inside.
Mutsuki Sakai looked furious, her teeth grinding together.
Li Yuan, standing to the side, frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the creature inside.
But what if I'm not satisfied?
The other party is a citizen of the United States.
What else can we do?
Bang
Just as Kurigen was about to persuade him to come back later, Sakai Mutsuki kicked the door open.
People outside immediately craned their necks to look into the office.
Then they saw the once high and mighty general manager lying on the ground, looking at the door with a look of fear on his face.
Harris was only momentarily stunned when he saw who came in, but pretended not to see them.
Mutsuki Sakai frowned, then walked over and sat down.
Li Yuan closed the door and sat down on the other side.
Half an hour later.
Harris, who had performed exceptionally well, sat down in his chair with a serious expression, then calmly picked up the water glass on the table and drank it.
As for Gao Mingyuexiang, she knelt on the ground again, head down, eyes lowered, face pale.
Mutsuki Sakai put down her crossed legs and looked at Harris with a dissatisfied expression.
Her dissatisfaction wasn't with the other person's behavior, but rather with their attitude towards her.
There was no respect whatsoever.
"Mr. Harris!"
Suppressing the urge to slap the other person, Sakai Mutsuki spoke softly, "I would like to know your attitude towards building a factory on the Japanese island."
"Build a factory?"
Harris chuckled softly, put down his cup, then leaned forward and rested his head on the table, saying, "You should know that the people who built the factory are not with us."
"so what?"
Mutsuki Sakai clenched her fists, her face contorted in a grimace.
Harris, however, remained surprisingly calm. He had been thinking about how to bring things up, but now this was the perfect opportunity.
"So, what they do is their freedom."
"Furthermore, according to the zero-tariff agreement with Japan and the reciprocal goods agreement signed with the United States, we have no right to stop them from building factories on Japan."
"Similarly, you have no right to stop it."
Harris chuckled, while Mutsuki Sakai was so angry her hair stood on end, but she just couldn't do anything about it.
After all, this was an agreement that had been made beforehand, and she couldn't object to it even if she wanted to.
Li Yuan, standing to the side, closed his eyes in pain. He had already prepared himself mentally when he chose to take this path.
Therefore, they are not surprised that their interests were betrayed.
Gao Mingyuexiang, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a chill run through her body.
If Sony is finished, Harris can still return to the United States, but what will happen to her?
The other party definitely won't take me with them; leaving me behind will only make me a scapegoat. The best outcome would be to jump off the building.
After a long while, Mutsuki Sakai finally calmed down and said again, "Harris, I want to remind you, to remind your side."
"If they build a factory, their computers will dominate the entire Japanese market. At that time, your computer manufacturing will be useless and worthless."
"Can you afford to bear this loss?"
Harris laughed, a very casual laugh.
Meeting Sakai Mutsuki's gaze, he slowly stood up and then said casually, "Why would we suffer losses?"
"Ms. Sakai, let me remind you."
"The computers we produce, the JP50 you just mentioned, are meant to replace the Dawn One."
"That is beyond doubt."
Gao Mingyuexiang suddenly raised her head, her eyes darting away.
Li Yuan suddenly sat up straight, exuding a murderous aura.
Before Mutsuki Sakai could react, Harris continued, "So, we will complete the computer replacement within a month."
"We will definitely do that."
Seeing Harris sit down with such ease, Sakai Mutsuki finally realized what was happening.
Then, he flew into a rage.
He stood up, stepped forward, and slapped down hard with his palm.
boom! ! !
"This is outrageous!!!"
