Chapter 198: An Opportunity for Cooperation (Fourth Update!)

The special manager of TV Asahi is called Kojima Hirayama, and he looks like he is in his 40s, and he is at the time when he is full of energy and dedication. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Kojima Hirayama wears a meticulous hairstyle, looks average, and his expression is not too serious, but it is definitely not very kind.

It's just that he still speaks like an ordinary Japanese person, and he is very polite.

"Yin Jun, when we meet for the first time, please take care of me. In Jiashi's living room, Kojima Pingshan held Yin Jun's hand with both hands and bowed slightly in awkward Chinese.

The five or six people behind him also bowed with him.

This kind of obedience and uniformity is very rigid in Japanese companies, and when a boss salutes a customer or apologizes, all the employees present must be consistent.

To be honest, although many people say something false, when they actually encounter it, 90% of them will feel very comfortable and feel respected.

Compared to their big battle, Yin Jun only had one Le Yiling beside him.

Negotiating such a big matter, how could Yin Jun not let a strong woman like Sister Le come out?

Yin Jun smiled slightly and said in Chinese: "Hello Mr. Kojima, welcome to Xiangjiang, thank you for your interest in my program, I hope you can return this time with a full load." ”

The translator next to him hurriedly translated the words to Kojima Hirayama.

Including Guan Zhilin, they don't know that Yin Jun's Japanese is much more fluent and proficient than English, and there is no problem in listening.

Thanks to a series of anime such as "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "One Piece", "Naruto", "Conan", etc., Yin Jun's Japanese is not proficient.

Later, even Yin Jun had a few Japanese friends on the forum of Japanese comics, and everyone used their voices to chat and talk about anime, and it didn't take long to transform the Japanese learned on TV into skills that could be spoken and heard.

However, Yin Jun is reluctant to show that he knows Japanese in front of the Japanese.

On the one hand, he is reluctant to speak Japanese when doing business, and Chinese people have completely different feelings about speaking English and speaking Japanese in public.

On the other hand, it can also help him understand more about the Japanese people's minds and gain some advantages when doing business negotiations. -- When people think you don't understand what they're saying, it's usually a bit unscrupulous, so it's easy to reveal some useful information.

Hearing Yin Jun's words, Kojima Hirayama also smiled, and he was in a good mood when he sat down.

The last time Fuji TV people came to negotiate "Millionaire", Yin Jun refused without meeting them at all, choking the popularity of Fuji TV, and when he went back, he scolded Yin Jun for not knowing how to lift, he was simply arrogant, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

This time, Kojima Hirayama came over, and he was also prepared for difficult negotiations, but he didn't expect Yin Jun to give such a positive signal as soon as he came up.

After sitting down, Kojima Hirayama first opened his mouth and praised: "Regarding the program "Millionaire", we have specially commissioned someone to record 20 episodes from Xiangjiang and bring it to Japan to watch and figure it out. I have to say that this show is different from many programs nowadays, it is full of temptation to get rich overnight, but it is subtly teaching people to use knowledge and allowing people to explore knowledge more. Compared with the previous monetary incentives, we prefer the second one, which is very important for the dissemination of culture and the education of the knowledge of the people. ”

Yin Jun was a little helpless about Kojima Pingshan.

If the British are replaced, they will definitely be "Ah, this show is good, the reward of 1 million is really good, there is a gimmick, the ratings must be high, and the advertising fee will naturally be high, I want it!"

But the Japanese are different, Kojima Hirayama's first thing is actually the subtle knowledge that Yin Jun values the most, which shows that they are very persistent in education.

Why is it that after 2010, the entire group of young people in China is in an extremely impetuous stage?

Isn't it just in learning, they don't pay attention to the learning of knowledge at all, and use all kinds of knowledge to increase their self-cultivation, so the whole generation or two is either a nouveau riche, or an envy of the nouveau riche, as long as they have money, they are closer than their parents?

People who really learn a lot of knowledge, who are really cultivated, are definitely not like that.

From this point of view, Yin Jun admires the Japanese education system.

It is not said that it is time for the Restoration, it is too far away from the present, let's just say that in the current decades, Japan has always put education in the first place, and how to cultivate a literate and literate person is the focus of their education, and it is by no means to cultivate an elite boss who can go to a famous university and make money.

Japanese people value knowledge and have more respect for teachers.

Usually during the Chinese New Year, many of the special affairs, general affairs, presidents and chairmen of the directors of the six major foundations will line up at the door of some famous economists and professors of history and Japanese literature, and get knowledge and inspiration from chatting with them.

The governor of Osaka Prefecture, who is the first and second leaders of our side of the city of Huhai, once wanted to book a banquet for his guests at the most famous hotel and the best hall in Osaka during the New Year's season.

But unfortunately, the person who went to make the reservation came back and said that the general manager of the hotel said, "I'm sorry, this hall has been ordered by the president of Osaka University, and we can't give it to you."

In common sense, it is really inconsiderate for the principal of a school to compete with the boss of my second largest city in Japan for the banquet position, and the hotel should also help the boss and let the principal automatically transfer to another hall or hotel.

But not only did the hotel resolutely refuse, but even the governor himself sighed after hearing it, "How can I compete with Mr. XX? This is really rude!"

So, in the end, the governor changed the hotel himself.

Note that not everyone in Japan can be called "sir", but only in a respected profession such as a teacher or doctor.

The honorific title of ordinary people for others is just "San".

Whether on the train or on the bus, if you know that the other person is a teacher, many people will voluntarily give way.

In the past, Yin Jun sighed when he heard this, but now looking at Kojima Hirayama's statement, he feels that these Japanese are really powerful, no wonder they are so good in industry.

If China can learn from the Japanese education method well, then within thirty or fifty years, the opportunity to catch up is really great!

Yin Jun never felt embarrassed to learn from the Japanese.

It is not ashamed to learn the enemy's skills, to be lagging behind all the time, and to be afraid of being beaten again at all times, that is really a shame!

In the voice of the translator, thoughts flashed by, and Yin Jun also nodded, "I am very happy about the spread of "Millionaire" around the world, and a good program should be shared by everyone. But I have a question, if "Millionaire" arrives in Japan, what are you going to do? First of all, the purchasing power of 1 million yen is very different from that of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the appeal to ordinary people will be greatly reduced, right?"

"We also considered this, but 1 million yen was too little, so we wondered if we could exchange it for 1 million US dollars, so it suddenly became very attractive. Kojima Hirayama replied slowly, "As for the center of the show, I think it should not be deliberately pursued for difficulty, but mainly to let the audience know more knowledge." For example, Yin Jun, you did a good job, I can answer a lot of those questions, but there are some very common sense basic questions, but I neglected to learn, such a moderate degree of difficulty, very interesting way to choose a topic, we will study carefully.

As for the other part of the show, that is the host. I thought that the host you chose was more than ruthless, but not enough affinity. We Japanese prefer hosts with a big smile. And our Asahi TV happens to have an ace host - Ueda Kunichi, he is 45 years old this year, and his hosting style is witty and generous, and he is very popular with Japanese audiences...... I have brought a collection of his host show here, Yin Jun can take a look if he is interested. ”

"Good!"

Yin Jun said, I have long heard that the Japanese are fully prepared for all negotiations, and it is reasonable to prepare the host's information.

"As for the design of the entire layout, we also have drawings here, please take a look at it. Kojima Hirayama put down the videotape, took out another stack of color printouts, and handed it to Yin Jun.

Compared with these colorful studio pictures, Yin Jun cares more about the videotape that Kojima Hirayama took out.

VHS video tapes for camera and video equipment were invented by JVC Co., Ltd. as early as 1971, and in the following years, JVC continued to develop and upgrade, and finally released the first VHS video recorder based on the VHS video tape format in September 1976, which began to conquer the market in Japan and the world.

You may not know that videotape, a playback device that young people born in the 90s may not have heard of, actually had this format controversy at the beginning of its invention.

JVC's biggest rival is Sony, who has always been unconventional, they like to make their own, whether it is the videotape format or the future camera storage memory stick, etc., they have to be different from others, and want to lead the global trend in order to make more money.

For example, the videotape format, Sony invented another beta format videotape, which is completely different from VHS, which means that if you use its tape, you don't want to use it in my video recorder.

In fact, Sony's technology is very superb, and the beta format released in '75 was also listed to compete with the VHS format at about 76 years, and it was still in the upper hand at the beginning.

But JVC is very smart, it knows to unite more friends, so they announced and shared VHS technology with Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi and other manufacturers, and then this group of people began to fight against Sony, and within a few years of effort, Sony was beaten down, and since then VHS has almost dominated the entire world's video recorder and videotape market.

Many people think that video recorder videotapes are an outdated thing, but by 2020, there are still more than 50 million American households with video recorders, and the total number of video tapes in their homes exceeds 15.6 billion.

And in 2020, many movies will still be released on cassette for home users to buy or rent.

The first reason is that Americans have become accustomed to using video recorders to play movies, and they still have so many video tapes in their hands, so they are naturally willing to continue to use video recorders; the other reason is that film companies want to make more money, so they continue to develop the definition technology of video tapes, as well as the retention time, so that it is actually no different from ordinary DVDs, so video tapes are still popular.

Well, that's all for later.

Yin Jun looked at the tape and remembered the grand occasion of its conquering cities all over the world in the next 20 years.

Although in 2016, all video recorder manufacturers no longer make video recorders, but this does not prevent it from having the glory it once had.

In fact, a large part of the reason for the collapse of VCR videotapes is that in China, a country with super spending power, no one uses VCRs at all, and they tend to use pirated VCDs.

If the Chinese have the same habits as the Americans, then maybe the video recorder can develop to a new level.

Xiangjiang people and mainlanders are almost the same, piracy is also very prevalent in them, because of the price of the video recorder videotape, and the rough recording of the videotape effect is very bad, so it did not cause a fatal blow to Xiangjiang's films, to the price of the extremely low VCD came out, it was really a direct rude destruction of Xiangjiang, two or three years to hit the Xiangjiang film into the abyss, since then did not get up again.

Along with Xiangjiang Films, which was destroyed by VCD, there is also the mainland film market, for nearly 10 years, the mainland has almost been wailing, and few people have the ability to make money in movies.

I remember one year, Feng Luoya's New Year film, more than 20 million became the annual box office champion, which is much worse than in the 80s!

Therefore, in Hong Kong and the mainland, video tapes and video recorders have no future for development, and they will only put film and television in a very embarrassing situation.

However, if at this stage, who can take advantage of the fact that JVC has not yet achieved a complete advantage, get the opportunity to produce video recorders in a factory and sell them to developed countries in Europe and the United States, it will be a very profitable business within 10 years.

It is certainly not possible in Xiangjiang, but it is very good to go to the mainland, especially in January next year, when the Sekou Industrial Park, the first in China to open to the outside world, will be launched.

Yin Jun thought about it while showing the pictures of the studio modeling and other aspects to Le Yiling.

Le Yiling looked much more serious than Yin Jun, and waited until seven or eight minutes later before she nodded to Yin Jun, proving that she recognized the setting of Asahi TV.

"Well, now there's another question left. Yin Jun asked, "What time are you going to arrange for it to be played?"

"The first pilot was on Friday at 10 p.m., and if the ratings were good, we would mention Saturday night at 9 p.m. "Originally, Saturday at nine o'clock was for our Tuyao Sun Theater, but if the show is good enough, it will get the best treatment." ”

TV Asahi has thought it through very well, and they are all prepared for the problems that Yin Jun can think of, which makes Yin Jun very satisfied.

I have long heard that the Japanese attach great importance to negotiations, and they usually try their best to prepare for all emergencies in order to gain the initiative in negotiations.

As a result, they have hardly suffered much in many negotiations, especially in business negotiations, which has also provided great help to their economic rise after the 60s.

Now, it seems, that is indeed the case.

Yin Jun smiled and said, "In that case, I have no opinion here...... The following is my agent, Miss Le, to discuss the specific terms of cooperation with you, I hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible!"

Kojima Hirayama also smiled when he heard this, "I believe we can satisfy you, and I look forward to our happy cooperation!"

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Yin Jun could agree so quickly, and he was ready to talk for three or five more days before he could have a preliminary intention.

Now the biggest difficulty is gone, since Yin Jun agreed, then Asahi TV is really worth the trip.

However, Hirayama Kojima does not know that the real difficulty is only now beginning.

After more than half a year of high-intensity work, as well as the star agent contract of Wei Xiaofan and others, Le Yiling has not only been experienced, but also very experienced.

I dare not say that Le Yiling can be so domineering and awe-inspiring with the life and death of tens of thousands of people who will be in charge of the entire TVB in the future, just a business negotiation, what is it?

In addition, she has been studying in Japan for two years and knows the habits of the Japanese very well, so it is definitely not easy to take advantage of her.

Yin Jun wanted to cooperate with TV Asahi, but he never thought that he would sell his copyright at a low price, which not only could not make TV Asahi grateful, but would make them feel that Yin Jun would not do business and was a fool.

Real cooperation should be based on mutual assistance and mutual benefit, sincere cooperation, everyone can make money, everyone can earn reputation, so that cooperation will continue for a long time.

Le Yiling's character is very stingy, and she has her own estimate of how valuable "Millionaire" is.

asked Yin Jun's opinion, and Yin Jun said that his hope was 8 million a year royalty.

This is not Yin Jun's own random estimate, in history, in the 90s, ATV bought the copyright of "Millionaire" in the first year, which was a copyright fee of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Japanese audience is 20 times more than Xiangjiang, and the economic level is still higher than that of Xiangjiang, although the time is more than ten years in advance, and the wage consumption level is much lower, but only 8 million a year, Yin Jun can be said to be very conscientious.

Of course, it's not that Yin Jun is unwilling to make a lot of money, and making Japanese money is simply justified.

The main reason is that when ATV bought "Millionaire", "Millionaire" was already famous all over the world, so the price of ATV's purchase must be very high, and there is a large degree of fame premium fee.

And now that "Millionaire" is not very famous at all, it doesn't matter if the Japanese can make this show well, attract more attention, and thus sell more copyright fees.

Le Yiling estimated it, this price seems to be a little cheaper, although Yin Jun wants to continue to have more cooperation with Asahi TV in the future, but Japan, an economically developed and rich country, is not good to cut a piece of fat, I am sorry for Miss Le's negotiation level.

Looking at the slightly contemptuous eyes of a group of subordinates behind Xiaodao Pingshan looking at Le Yiling, a young girl, Yin Jun shook his head and smiled.

Negotiate the price with my sister, you really don't know how to write dead words! )
