Chapter 554: Chapter 554: The First Flower Shoulder Vessel

Partnering with Sony to make cars is all benefit and no harm for Yiyang Automobile.

Chen Yiyang and Gu Hai discussed the specifics of the partnership model.

Soon, they understood Sony’s cooperation method.

Yiyang Automobile provides car parts and the exterior design, the hardware part.

While Sony provides the software part.

Sony still believes in its idea of creating a large mobile gaming lounge.

In Japan, where roads are narrow and the population is concentrated in urban areas,

making cars that can go faster is meaningless; making cars with more functions is meaningful.

The reason the car previously made with Honda was ridiculed was due to its high price.

Coincidentally, Yiyang Automobile excels at cost reduction.

If the price can be lowered to about three hundred thousand, Sony believes its new car will be competitive in the market.

For just three hundred thousand, Japanese people can get a large mobile gaming lounge that plays PS games.

Middle-aged men who are socially anxious or find it inconvenient to play games at home would eagerly purchase it.

Regarding Sony’s ideas, Chen Yiyang could only express that while the concept is good, the implementation is uncertain.

After all, although it’s a partnership in name, Yiyang Automobile still has to profit from selling hardware. Whether the car sells or not, this part of the money is already earned.

Sony’s expansion into the car manufacturing sector is part of the headquarters’ strategic plan.

Under this strategic plan, small issues like being politically correct can naturally be ignored.

So the minor copyright dispute between Tengxu and Sony can be concluded, and Sony’s headquarters will have the North America branch end the infringement lawsuit as soon as possible.

After talking with Gu Hai, Chen Yiyang and a young accountant toured some places in Tokyo and even visited a museum.

Then Chen Yiyang discovered that many treasures regarded as national treasures in Japanese museums originated from Huaxia, especially during the Two Song Dynasties.

He then learned that while domestically, it’s always believed that the Tang Dynasty had a significant influence on Japan,

in fact, the Tang Dynasty’s influence on Japan was primarily among the upper classes.

The largest influence on Japanese popular culture was actually from the Song Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, maritime trade was extremely developed.

Especially, products like porcelain and ironware from the Song Dynasty were considered the top sea trading goods of the time worldwide.

Therefore, Japanese people were more interested in Song Dynasty Huaxia artifacts.

Of course, Japan didn’t have much money back then and couldn’t get good items.

For instance, Chen Yiyang saw a Southern Song Dynasty artifact called a Luzon Pot by the Japanese.

The artifact referred to as the Luzon Pot by the Japanese.

The Luzon Pot Chen Yiyang saw in Japan is also known as the Shohana Katagiri Shoulder Vase.

This pot was a cherished item of Oda Nobunaga, treasured by the Ashikaga shogunate, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

It can be seen that in nearly two hundred years of history, this pot was regarded as a priceless treasure.

After one of Oda Nobunaga’s subordinates made significant contributions in the defeat of the Takeda family, Oda Nobunaga was very pleased.

Oda Nobunaga allowed this subordinate to choose any reward he wanted.

Thus, this subordinate said he wanted the pot.

As a result, Oda Nobunaga immediately regretted it, preferring to give this subordinate eight hundred thousand koku rather than the pot.

But what was the level of this pot, which the Japanese regarded as a treasure, in the Southern Song of the time?

The answer is, it was on the level of everyday household items for ordinary families.

Because this pot wasn’t even made by the government but was fired by a local folk kiln.

Who knows which unscrupulous merchant sold it to Japan, tricking the Japanese into thinking it was a rare treasure.

These past few days, Chen Yiyang also browsed many Japanese cultural relics and buildings.

Then he discovered an interesting fact.

Since Japan is a disaster-prone country, prone to earthquakes and tsunamis,

to prevent the destruction of cultural relics and buildings, they are dismantled and rebuilt every twenty to thirty years.

It is said this can prevent buildings from collapsing due to neglect over the years.

But it also supports an entire industry chain, for example, rebuilding requires antique materials, and the techniques used need craftsmen who specialize in ancient crafts.

So a large number of Japanese companies rely on the reconstruction of cultural relics to survive.

After wrapping up all matters in Japan, Chen Yiyang returned to Lin’an and started discussing his remuneration with Wu Changxun.

"Are you interested in taking over Yonghui?" Wu Changxun said over the phone, "Tengxu holds five percent of Yonghui Supermarket’s shares. If you’re interested, these shares are yours."

Uh.

Initially, Chen Yiyang wondered which Yonghui Wu Changxun was referring to.

But upon hearing further, he realized it was the chain supermarket.

He really hasn’t researched chain supermarkets much.

Thus, after hanging up on Wu Changxun’s call, he consulted with experts in the relevant field about this matter.

After a detailed understanding, Chen Yiyang was somewhat conflicted.

Is the five percent of Yonghui shares in Tengxu’s hands valuable?

At the time, Tengxu’s investment was quite worthwhile.

Tengxu was the second internet enterprise to invest in Yonghui, the first being Jindong.

But when Tengxu invested, Yonghui had already developed, so Tengxu spent nearly five billion to acquire five percent of Yonghui’s shares.

However, how much are these five billion shares worth now?

Based on market estimates, the value has fallen by about seventy percent.

Now they’re worth at most less than one and a half billion.

In reality, if you plan to sell, getting one billion is the best-case scenario.

Investing in Yonghui is one of the classic failures of Tengxu’s investments.

When Tengxu entered Yonghui, Yonghui’s valuation was over one hundred billion.

Now, it’s less than two hundred billion.

Tengxu probably regrets it deeply, but only decided to leave after Jindong exited, by which time the shares couldn’t be sold for a good price.

Now, it seems they’re thinking of using these shares as worthless compensation, offering them to Chen Yiyang.

A fresh produce chain supermarket?

Chen Yiyang doesn’t mind how much Yonghui has lost.

Instead, he thought if he could have a fresh produce chain supermarket, it would greatly benefit his flash purchase business.

Since in his own fresh produce chain supermarket, he could offer bigger discounts, with less profit, further benefiting flash purchase users.

This would give Chen Yiyang an edge in the flash purchase battle.

So why not just acquire Yonghui?

With a two hundred billion valuation, Chen Yiyang thinks, adding Tengxu’s shares, he could acquire about thirty percent more, completing the control over Yonghui, becoming the largest shareholder of Yonghui.

However, is Yonghui worth acquiring?

Chen Yiyang originally intended to contact Yonghui’s owner Zhang Xuansong directly.

But thinking that Yonghui almost went bankrupt under Zhang Xuansong’s leadership,

talking to him first probably wouldn’t explain why Yonghui ended up in this situation.

Then who should he talk to?
