Chapter 107
5 volumes
“What the hell is this mess? If it’s been more than two weeks, we’re gonna have to clean it up. It’s getting bigger, right? ”
Nobuyuki, who was looking at the newspaper, is angry at Nori, who was beside him.
Foreign language chairman Nobuyuki, who originally worked abroad, including Switzerland and France, served as an external director at Nestle, a Swiss company that had been deployed three times in his youth with GM, the nation’s largest automobile company.
Unfortunately, David Manning happened when he recently attended the GM Board of Directors and went to the United States to make friends.
I was angry at the articles published in the newspapers while staying at the hotel, but I couldn’t help but be convinced that Nobuyuki knew that time would solve everything.
During the rest of the board meeting, it was very offensive to hear some of the directors talk about the David Manning case.
I just had to endure it because I had no reason to.
I originally stayed for a week and spent the rest of my time exploring the film, music and electronics sector to confirm my business plan for the year, but I returned to Japan early because I was annoyed with the sound of chatter in the newspapers and TV every day.
“Yes, President John Cali is taking care of it. You’ll feel better now that you’ve apologized. It used to be that the masses would just heat up and cool down. ”
Nori, who was leading the entertainment sector, asks for a good word to calm the president down.
“Shhh, yeah. I know, but look here. Would it make you feel better to talk about this in all the media?” Nobuyuki couldn’t say that he couldn’t look up when he went to the United States.
Sony tried to get over it early somehow after it happened, but it wasn’t easy.
What remains as a mystery is that the whole world knows something like a nuclear bomb explodes in one day.
If things had gradually evolved, I could have handled the situation, but I didn’t, so I couldn’t steer properly.
After knowing the facts and hiding, the president contacted Ridgefield Press directly with the “I’m so sorry” apology.
I thought I took a breath like this, but within a few days, it became even more amusing because of the explosion again.
[In Sony, who apologized for the David Manning incident, new evidence has emerged that this manipulation was used more widely.
According to one reporter, all of Sony’s employees were interviewed when they produced the program for promoting the ‘Patriot’ movie.]
[It is well known that the articles from the film critic David Manning, born in Sony, were posted or cited on the Internet, newspapers and magazines, where he took one step further to appear on radio broadcasts.
According to this absurd incident investigation revealed by one reporter, Manning’s interview was a computer voice manipulation.
Moreover, Sony’s corporate culture is doubtful, as all of the travelers in the promotion of the Patriot film have proven to be fake.
Is there ethics in a company called Sony?]
It started with a commentary on the marketing of Sony Film Company. Laughter at the creation of a fictional character immediately arose in public outrage.
This wave of fury spread quickly, taking over online in just a few days due to the development of the Internet.
Sony is originally a multinational company with many companies. Especially under Sony America, there are various companies in the fields of electronics, film, music and gaming, which sales are much larger than their home country, Japan.
Sony’s name was hit in the United States, an important place of business like this. ‘Electronic Sony’, ‘Sony Quality’ and ‘Sony Trust’ brands started to crack instantly.
A series of hot scandals followed by a manning wave spread the formula of “Sony squeeze” and “Sony disbelief.”
On the Internet, on comedy shows, “Can you believe it? If I were to say the same thing, would Mr. Manning recommend this? ’I used to joke.
[If you are an American, you will remember the Japanese pearl attack in 1941. There is also the word “Dory” in war. Japan launched an ambush one morning while negotiations were still ongoing.
Without the basic declaration of war of modern warfare, negotiations in front of us deceive us, and air strikes behind us violate the American spirit of justice and principle.
Even now, 60 years later, the behavior of Japanese companies has not changed. There is nothing that has not been deceived, such as creating fictional criticisms, manipulating voices, conducting fake interviews, etc. I am very afraid of this variety of corporate culture spreading across the United States.]
“Mr. Cali, let’s be certain. I think it’s going to be big if we don’t do this anymore. ”
“I see. Otherwise, the people involved have already left. We’re also thinking of ways to make some compensation to actual visitors. ”
“Then do it. We can’t lose big to save money.”
Nobuyuki hung up his phone and sighed. Despite the company’s official apologies, the incidents that were subsequently uncovered further spurred the work.
At first, the commotion about the film spread with the attack on the ‘Sony’ brand itself, and then suddenly became a manifestation of hostility towards Japanese companies.
Now, even friends and partners around me rush for advice, so Nobuyuki, who has a strong ego, can’t be happy.
“It doesn’t look like much. It looks like a riot. Why is Pearl Harbor there? ”
He is Nobuyuki Chairman who feels strange when things go wrong. However, since I said this much, I thought I wanted to fix it properly.
It would have been nothing if it had been the same. Even if it was a problem, it wouldn’t be hard to rob the press.
If you advertise appropriately and build symbiotic relationships, the media will not treat the business too badly. It’s a loss to each other.
Of course, no controversy will gradually subside unless the article continues to appear in the newspaper. That’s worked so far.
However, the problem was that there was no easy way to become invincible in the age of the Internet.
“The side effects of the Internet are here. The public is useless, but they strangle you. I just want to enjoy the movie. What does it matter? Tsk, tsk.”
Rather than deceiving consumers, he is the chairman of Nobuyuki who blames people who are overreacting to such things or the Internet.
Sony, partial refund decision for spectators watching the film
[Sony has decided to issue a partial refund to the audience affected by the David Manning incident. According to yesterday’s announcement, among the audience who saw films known to be related to David Manning, consumers who think they have been harmed by misjudgement will return $5 if they make a report.
These include Animal, Knight William, Vertical Limit, and Hollow Man. The ‘Patriot’ who formed the question with an engineered interview was excluded.]
“Hahaha. They’re trying to get rid of it with money now! ”
I check the newspapers every day, and today there is something unusual. Sony blames people and officially apologizes, but the problem continues to escalate, and now she’s rewarding consumers directly.
“What’s five dollars, by the way? They’re so small-minded. If you just give them back, they’ll be clean, right? ”
Movie tickets are usually between $7 and $10, so $5 is a medium price. Perhaps if I gave him a full refund, he would think it was a large amount because there was a small difference between one person and many people watching the movie.
How long do you think it’ll take before you solve it and show off your greatness? Tsk, tsk.
“And how much would that be?
I turned to Jason, who was sitting with me, and I asked him, I’m sensitive to numbers.
“I think more than 30 million people have seen the film. If these people all demand compensation, it’s 150 million dollars. But it’s not really going to be that much. ”
Jason shows the data prepared, and so far the box office has been statistical. Unfortunately, they were not great works, so there were very few audiences. Otherwise, there would be more than 100 million people, and my appetite would be ruined.
“But aren’t you going to charge me 10%?” I think 10 percent is 15 million dollars, but not bad.
“That’s not true. In the opinion of the marketing team and the planning room, it’s usually annoying to write and send something for five dollars, but only two or three percent of the time. ”
One percent, and that’s only $1.5 million. On whose nose… ”
It was refreshing to think of it, but it wasn’t long after I let it go. I was hopelessly devastated.
Of course, Sony’s reputation was devastating, but I still have to scrap the money…
After completing the report, Team Leader James leaves and calls Thomas back.
“Thomas, so how are things going lately? ”
They had already shared their secrets, so they were more friendly. And, in fact, he’s my best friend. In high school, I didn’t have any friends to stick with Jennifer and spend time doing business with.
I got into college and met Thomas, and I thought he was a good guy, so I went out with him on purpose. With a show of my reputation and abilities, Thomas has been working with me for quite some time now.
Whatever I said because I met her when I was a student, I feel comfortable. Thoughtful of them, Thomas thinks I’m the only one who doesn’t know the world well and cares deeply about one thing.
It is true that I am a ‘two-of-a-kind’ friend because I don’t know anyone except this person. He’s a good guy.
“Yes. I’m so happy to be here. I really feel like working. Algorithms that used to be difficult to test can now be tested very quickly. ”
Thomas was excited to be able to do various simulations using the servers in the data center.
“Hey. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You know what? $50,000 worth of electricity you spent last month. ”
“Really? So much? “
Thomas looks surprised that he didn’t know how much use he had.
In fact, it’s real and it’s a lie. That’s probably how much electricity Thomas was using. However, these servers are running anyway, and even if they are not in use, basic power is not so much as consumed.
$50,000 is the cost of using servers only for Thomas. An innocent man believes what he wants.
“Haha. I’m kidding. The servers are all turned on anyway, so there’s not a lot of electricity you use. At least it’ll be $10,000. ”
“Right? I was surprised. If there’s so much electricity, how am I going to experiment?”
Thomas sweeps his chest as if it were a relief. I smiled at him.
“John, can I ask you a favor?” Thomas asks if he has something to ask you, unlike usual.
“What’s going on? There’s nothing between you and me that can’t be said. ”
While saying that, I also wondered why he did this.
“Not only that, can you let me use a lot of servers later when I need them? ”
Thomas talks and starts to notice me. I’m not sure what the hell I’m talking about.
“No, how many are you going to use? Personally?”
“Uhh! Last time I turned Controller X, I had a few questions. I thought it would be better to run 1000 units an hour than to run 100. I wanted to do an exact experiment. Can’t I?”
Thomas has a deep curiosity in his eyes. He risked his life for everything. He said that he wanted to say, ‘What if he gets better or not?’ You don’t have to kill the kids for nothing.
“Huh-huh. So why don’t we just turn teenagers around for 10 hours and compare 100 teenagers to an hour? ”
“No, there’s a difference between 1: 10 and 10: 100. We have a lot of experimenting to do. ”
“You too. Exactly how many do they need? 1,000? How many hours is that gonna take? ”
“Well, the more the merrier. That way you know exactly where the difference is. ”
“Can I get a thousand?” I can see the look on Thomas’ face. His face is so easy to read. It’s just written all over my face.
“How about 2000 face-to-face?” The sudden appearance of a new offer is ridiculous. I still feel unsatisfied.
“Yes, son, take 3000 units and use them! ”
It’s the expression of joy that brightens my face when I shout. He’s got 3000 servers in his pocket!
Last time I turned 1000 units for ten hours, Gandhi swelled. This guy’s a server addict.
“Thank you, John. Lucky I met you!” Thomas is a sociopath. That’s the server 3000 versus the value.
A horse is 3,000 acres, and this is not the size of an individual’s toy.
Whether you’re going to the aerospace agency, CIA, FBI, MI6 in the U.K., or anywhere else on the planet, very few people experiment with 3,000 servers.
Even if there is such an experiment, should I tell a young engineer like Thomas to say, “It’s old.” Not a chance.
‘Yes, you. You think you’ve met your friend, and work hard from now on. ’
Luckily, there are backup servers, so I gave my permission. Thomas justifies his experiments by saying that the data obtained here could further enhance Controller X’s functionality.
“Thomas, by the way, did you hear that you pay five dollars for someone who saw David Manning’s film on Sony? ”
“Of course. What’s wrong with that? ”
“If you just let it go, they usually apply for rewards in and out of 1%. That’s $1.5 million. You might want to pull that up. Can you do it? ”
“Haha. Of course. But how much more do I have to pull?” Thomas yells out as if it’s nothing.
“The higher the better. But wouldn’t 20% be enough? ”
I think 20 percent would make me feel better because it’s 30 million dollars.
“Don’t worry. I’m an expert at that. ”
Thomas answers out loud, as if doing something like this is so much fun. I told you to watch your mouth, but don’t worry. Thankfully, who is Thomas (?).
I like it a lot if you listen to me or if your mouth is heavy.
When Thomas goes out and I’m left alone, I feel empty about this. It’s nice to beat the guy who pissed me off and bruise a lot, and rob him of his money, but something’s not quite right.
Sonny, do we have to forgive these people now? ’
I think to myself, but I don’t. There is an unnatural end to my humanity. You want me to push a little bit more? A sinister smile came to my mouth.
I’m not a good guy after all. Heh heh.
Artwork Reviews
In fact, Sony apologized and blamed the people involved, but he kept avoiding responsibility.
But the United States is a well-developed country with class action lawsuits, and people didn’t let this go.
Sony agreed in 2005 to give five dollars to anyone who felt that he had been ridiculed by David Manning for 1.5 million dollars.
It’s featured in famous sitcoms and comedy pros, and in some cases even the David Manning Award, where they pick the best person to tell a lie every month.
