Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Although he knew that Tang Huan still had huge digital music ambitions after the actions of the laser disc, Yaskawa Hideaki did not pander to it, but directly expressed his opinion, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Kawakami Genichi is called the overlord of Yamaha , have already retired, but he came back the year before last and took up the post of president again, which shows how strong his desire to control Yamaha is.”

You are right to worry. Tang Huan smiled playfully, However, I heard that Genichi Kawakami, who is nearly 70 years old, insisted on making a comeback, which not only caused public outcry, but also brought a lot of confusion to Yamaha.

Kawakami Genichi’s father, Kawakami Kaichi, was the third president of Yamaha. He succeeded his father in 1950 and became the fourth president of Yamaha. Since 1975, he has successively handed over the power in his hands.

During the more than 20 years when Genichi Kawakami was in charge of Shuaiyin, Yamaha has developed very rapidly, producing musical instrument products ranging from the original organ piano to electronic piano wind instruments, etc., and has become an important participant in the formulation of standards.

Similar to Tang Huan who set up training and certification centers everywhere in order to promote his Zheru software and Fangyuan Computer, Kawakami Genichi set up a special foundation to promote his own musical instruments, popularize music education, hold music competitions, and sign singers to win popularity.

The music competition that Celine Dion participated in in Japan this time was handwritten by Yamaha. Among the singers it cultivated, Miyuki Nakajima may be the most familiar one.

Genichi Kawakami became Miyuki Nakajima's bole, just a small episode in his later years of work.

The biggest change he brought to Yamaha was diversification. In addition to designing and manufacturing Yamaha motorcycles in 1955, he also set foot in industries such as sports resort semiconductors.

It is precisely because of these achievements that Kawakami Genichi was touted by the Japanese media as Yamaha's Master of ZTE, and his authority in Yamaha can be seen from this.

The main reason why Genichi Kawakami returned to the arena after his official retirement was that there were obvious differences within Yamaha on the issue of heirs.

Therefore, in June 1980, Genichi Kawakami dismissed the fifth president Hiroshi Kawashima cleanly and kicked this disobedient puppet away. He sat on the throne again and became the sixth president, and paved the way for his eldest son Kawakami Hiroshi to succeed him as the seventh president, clearing away various obstacles.

It is true that Japanese companies are accustomed to family inheritance. But we must also pay attention to strategies and methods. At least face must be decent, and Kawakami Genichi's brutal and domineering methods, he didn't even care about covering up, which naturally attracted a lot of discussion from the media.

The last time we discussed industry standards. Tang Huan visited Yamaha, which is now Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and noticed some unnatural atmosphere inside Yamaha.

Tang Huan, who already has enough capital, naturally does not need to start everything from scratch. Coupled with the principle of buying the best, he can't help but secretly think more and more about the industry in the field of Yamaha musical instruments.

But with Genichi Kawakami's authority in Yamaha, some dissents can be suppressed. Hideaki Yaskawa reminded.

Yamaha Engine Co., Ltd., which produces motorcycles, is the brainchild of Genichi Kawakami. We are only interested in Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Tang Huan's interest remained undiminished, Isn't Epson just following the Hattori family's order? Escaped smoothly.

Epson, whose computer products are becoming more and more important, is no longer the ancestral industry of the Hattori family, but Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is the old line of Yamaha. Hideaki Yaskawa, who betrayed the Hattori family, smiled unnaturally smiled.

Kawakami Genichi is a seasoned businessman, will he be obsessed with these false names? Tang Huan frowned and pondered for a while, I heard that Yamaha and Honda have been fighting each other in the motorcycle field since 1979, and until now I have been fighting for four years. It can be said that both sides are exhausted physically and mentally, and this should be the weakest stage of Yamaha.

In fact, in the field of motorcycle manufacturing, Honda and Yamaha engines are ranked first and second respectively. They have been good friends for a long time.

As early as World War II, Yamaha Engine Co., Ltd., which was still the engine department of Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd., cooperated with Soichiro Honda's Tokai Seiki Company a lot when producing propellers for Japanese fighter planes. The third president of Yamaha, Kawakami Kaichi He also has a lot of connections with Soichiro Honda.

After World War II, Yamaha Motor continued to maintain an amicable relationship with Honda. The fifth president of Yamaha, Hiroshi Kawashima, who was expelled by Kawakami Genichi was the younger brother of Honda's second president, Kawashima.

However, in order to compete for market share, the two companies still went to the opposite side, just like the calculator war between Sharp and Casio.

How can this thing compare with Zheru's software, even if the backlog is a screw, it is bought with real money.

Therefore, Tang Huan even has reason to think that the Japanese Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd., whose business ability has passed the peak period of the 1960s and 1970s, with his own money, is helping Kawakami Genichi’s Yamaha engine to accumulate strength, and it is a good deed without a name. Good man.

When he heard Tang Huan's conclusion that this should be the weakest stage of Yamaha, Yaskawa Hideaki subconsciously straightened his waist, his eyes began to shine, because he tasted the hidden meaning if it is not soft, it will be Come hard.

When Epson successfully went public and began waving checks to acquire several companies that mastered lithium-ion battery technologies, Hideaki Yaskawa was fascinated by this feeling of conquering cities.

He repeatedly reminded Tang Huan that it was not easy to acquire Yamaha's musical instrument business, and that it was the duty of his subordinates. But after the boss's determination was lost, he was happy to enjoy the fun of charging ahead and killing all directions.

After Epson broke away from the control of the Hattori family, it really is that the sea is wide and the fish are flying, and the sky is high and the birds are flying.

Thinking of Yaskawa Hideaki here, he tentatively asked, Then we should make a combination of soft and hard preparations to take down Nippon Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd?

Tang Huan nodded slightly, and wrote down a series of names on the note, Go and contact these financial consortiums. After they made money from Pacific Communications, they are still thinking about the Fangyuan Computer shares that will be listed soon. Now it is Time to make a difference and put pressure on Yamaha.

Yaskawa Hideaki bowed and took the note. Hay finished, and then asked, How about Yamaha?

Of course it's the courtesy first and then the soldiers. Tang Huan smiled meaningfully, I'm going to watch Yamaha's music competition. If the opportunity is right, I'll chat with Genichi Kawakami.

...

After arriving at the concert hall, Tang Huan deliberately looked for Deng Lijun, and found that she was talking happily with a Japanese woman of similar age, so he went to the side and sat down.

Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan. She pursed her lips and laughed, which confused the Japanese woman and asked in a low voice.

Didn't you ask me about the songwriter of the song The First Dream? It's him. Deng Lijun smiled and gestured.

So it's Mr. Tang Huan, Teresa, please introduce me, please. The Japanese woman hurriedly begged.

No problem. Deng Lijun nodded with a smile, turned her gaze to Tang Huan, and said solemnly: Mr. Tang, let me introduce you. This is a famous talented woman in the Japanese music scene, Ms. Nakajima Miyuki.

Tang Huan nodded suddenly, it turned out that this is the full-fledged singer-songwriter.

It's a great honor. Miyuki admired my performances of Drips of Dream and First Dream... As soon as Deng Lijun finished speaking, Miyuki Nakajima quickly interrupted and added, There is also Blue and White Porcelain.

Tang Huan raised his brows and murmured to himself, didn't Miyuki Nakajima be good at sad love songs? Why is she still interested in inspirational styles?

I only heard Deng Lijun continue to say: Miyuki hopes to adapt the Japanese version of First Dream. So she found me and asked for your opinion.

I have no objection. Tang Huan nodded, and at the same time said in his heart, It will be returned to the original owner.

That's good. I'm planning to ask Michelle for a cover song in exchange. Deng Lijun let out a sigh of relief.

Teresa, if it wasn't for the too many tasks assigned by the company recently and the annoying rules and regulations, I really want to compose a song for you right away. Nakajima Miyuki explained apologetically.

It's okay, I understand too well what it means to be in front of the company's arrangement. Artists can't help themselves. Deng Lijun patted Nakajima Miyuki's arm comfortingly, Actually, it would be nice to be able to cover a song of yours.

Speaking of this, Deng Lijun sighed softly, I am about to be thirty years old, and suddenly I have a feeling, maybe only Miyuki's music style can help me express my feelings.

Sensing Deng Lijun's eyes full of meaning, Tang Huan was speechless, and said to himself, I still remember this hatred.

At this time, Miyuki Nakajima apologized and was called away.

Tang Huan coughed lightly, and said slowly: I think the single Hitori Getting Started and Used to Be Solitary released by Nakajima Miyuki in 1980 quite meet your requirements, even I already have a song called The preliminary adaptation idea of ​​Wandering the Road of Life.

Really, then give me the manuscript later. Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a blank look, I didn't expect that you are quite familiar with Miyuki Nakajima's songs.

If you don't dabble a little bit more, can you complete the assignment with you? Tang Huan waved his hand and quickly changed the subject, I came to you this time for another matter.

What's so serious about it? Can't you make a phone call? Do you have to go face-to-face? Deng Lijun, who was careless, was obviously shifting her attention to the upcoming singing competition.

It's only clear when I explain it face-to-face, and it also allows you to make preparations in advance. Tang Huan answered in a low voice, and his eyes shifted there.

Isn't it your plan to blame me for interrupting my thoughts a while ago? Deng Lijun asked with a smile.

Have you noticed that artists at this stage, if they want to further improve their career heights, often adopt the method of cross-border development. Tang Huan didn't answer the question, but said to himself, For example Alan Tam, who is currently popular in Xiangjiang, has been advancing in both music and film in the past two years.

Don't you also want me to act in a movie? Deng Lijun asked subconsciously.

You guessed it right, that's my thinking. Tang Huan nodded, If I remember correctly, you seem to have filmed a musical Miss Fan in the early 1970s, and you haven't been shocked since then .”

Yeah, I remember that I was only seventeen years old at that time, but now I'm about to enter the age group of thirty. Deng Lijun, who was relieved from the memory, sighed.

Tang Huan complained loudly, Can we stop talking about this. Besides, what's wrong with thirty years old, isn't it still the prime of life.

Think I'm holding a grudge? Deng Lijun smiled, That's easy, I can seriously prepare for the film, but the premise is that you will act with me.

Of course it's okay. I was very successful as the chief helmsman in the movie Fang Shiyu. Tang Huan patted his chest happily.

You didn't understand what I meant. Deng Lijun snorted softly, I will play the heroine, and you will play the hero.

Stop joking, aren't you embarrassing me? Tang Huan felt as if his forehead was sweating.

...

Although Celine Dion is not very old, under Tang Huan's intentional cultivation, she is no longer that country girl. She has seen many big scenes, her psychological quality is extremely good, and she performed very well on the scene.

In the end, Celine Dion won the best song and best performer awards with the song tellent ;;; I Love You So Much, which is considered to have initially successfully entered the world music scene.

When Tang Huan and Genichi Kawakami and his son went to the conference room together, Miyuki Nakajima who was by the side was very surprised, and couldn't help but turned to Deng Lijun, Are Mr. Tang and Mr. Kawakami familiar?

Actually, Mr. Tang's job is an engineer and a businessman, and writing lyrics and composing music is just one of his hobbies. Deng Lijun replied with a smile.

...

Give up the nearly hundred-year-old business of making musical instruments, is Yamaha still Yamaha? When Tang Huan revealed his acquisition target, Kawakami Genichi, who was in his seventies, asked forcefully.

As far as I know, the Yamaha engine created by Mr. Kawakami is the biggest source of profit. Otherwise, it would not be possible to fight with Honda, which has always been a good relationship, in the market.

Tang Huan smiled lightly, and continued in an unhurried manner: The order volume of musical instruments of Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has shown a significant downward trend this year. I bought your company, and I was actually helping you. Through this The transaction, the Yamaha engine that is deeply mired, will undoubtedly receive strong support. To be continued.
