Chapter Twelve: Takahashi's Difficulties

"Midori is much more sensible than before, and I have to thank Mr. Yanagi for his hard work in teaching her!"

Takahashi Shunsuke exclaimed.

Of course, I've been teaching this slender little beauty both in and out of bed; it would be strange if she didn't become more sensible.

A thought flashed through my mind, and I said gently, "Actually, my contribution is nothing special. The key is that Midori,

like other children, has a good upbringing and absorbs knowledge very quickly; teaching such a student is every teacher's

wish ."

Takahashi Shunsuke smiled slightly and poured a steaming cup of black tea for both of us. After toasting me

and eating a few pastries, he said slowly, "Mr. Yanagi, what do you think of this villa?"

I laughed heartily. "Mr. Takahashi, your villa is undoubtedly superb. May I ask which feng shui

master designed it?"

"Oh?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Takahashi Shunsuke's eyes, but he asked in surprise, "How did you know, Mr. Liu?"

"What's so difficult about that?"

I said calmly, "Turning from the main road into the villa, the terrain rises from low to high, symbolizing continuous advancement.

The paving beside the main gate is a typical 'Azure Dragon Absorbing Qi,' specifically designed to absorb the essence of the surrounding mountains and rivers. The entrance hall is the

gateway to the Tao, and its open, bright, and clean design allows one to feel a refreshing aura upon entering the house. Upon entering, one sees red,

green, and paintings, which is commonly known as the 'Three Auspicious Elements.' The east side of the living room belongs to 'Wood,' and

the yellow color representing 'Earth' is placed there. Earth and Wood are mutually reinforcing invisibly, complementing each other perfectly.

The same applies ."

"As for this viewing platform, although the scenery is pleasant and offers a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers,

the yin energy is too heavy, and its imposing presence far overwhelms this man-made house. If one stays here for a long time, it is easy to be

eroded by the yin energy. Therefore, the feng shui master who designed the house used a pair of stone lions to guard the house.

The stone lions , face outwards, specifically to counteract the external energy that overwhelms the house."

"Corresponding to this is the pair of bronze tortoises that were placed in the corner of the living room earlier. Tortoises are spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, and

their nature and movements are very gentle. Placing bronze tortoises in the hall can borrow the power of bronze tortoises, using gentleness to overcome strength,

turning misfortune into good fortune . The villa is a house built alone among the mountains and waters, with few people around. Although this is very good and quiet,

in feng shui, it belongs to the 'isolated place evil,' and bronze tortoises have the special effect of restraining the 'isolated place evil.'"

I smiled faintly as I said this.

"I haven't been to the second floor or the roof, but this feng shui master must have made meticulous arrangements.

Mr. Takahashi is truly capable to have such a master help design the feng shui."

To my surprise, Takahashi Shunsuke didn't seem particularly happy; his smile seemed

forced . "Haha, I see! I don't know much about it either. I guess I'll have to learn more from Mr. Liu in the future

!"

The villa's kitchen was very spacious, and the servants were busy. Takahashi Shizuka and her daughter sat at a small round

table , each wearing an earphone, listening to my conversation with Takahashi Shunsuke on their phones. A dialed

phone was placed under the table on the viewing platform, a tool to facilitate their eavesdropping plan

. The beautiful young woman, who was originally quite elegant, didn't want her daughter to eavesdrop as well. However, as soon as she directed

her daughter to the second floor, the daughter quickly retreated, just in time to see her mother listening to something with the earphones.

The little girl was very curious and quickly came up to grab them. Afraid that her daughter's noise would prevent us from hearing

, Takahashi Shizuka had no choice but to surrender and let her daughter listen as well.

"Wow, Mom, you're amazing!"

With only one earphone on, Midori whispered into Aunt Jing's jade-like ear, "

Dad say you were just messing around, but I never expected you to be so insightful!"

Takahashi Jing smiled slightly and whispered into her daughter's other ear, "Mom has studied

I Ching and Feng Shui for years. How could I not be skilled? Do you think I'm like your father, taking

so long ?"

"Sigh..."

The little beauty patted the elegant young woman's shoulder. "Mom, with a genius like you, which

man wouldn't feel inferior? Dad has already done so much, don't push him any further

..."

"I'm not pushing him!"

Takahashi Jing glared at her. "Your father isn't as bad as you say.

He you should give him more encouragement..."

"Hmph!"

The slender little beauty snorted. "He's a bad guy too! Is that vixen outside even a

fraction ?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The elegant young woman pouted, covering her mouth. "Isn't everyone like this? Your father

is actually quite good..."

Midori knew this wasn't the time to discuss things, so she could only mutter a resentful remark and continue listening to our conversation.

Takahashi Shizuka sighed inwardly. She wasn't thinking about her husband's mistress, but about the house.

Originally, Takahashi Shunsuke had discussed with her giving the villa to Liu Junxiong to ask him for a favor. But after

hearing Liu Junxiong talk about the villa's many advantages, Takahashi Shizuka, knowing her husband as she did, worried that he might

change mind and not mention the house anymore.

Sure enough, after I talked about feng shui for a while, Takahashi Shunsuke didn't mention the villa again, but changed the subject

. "Mr. Liu, you've heard about our Sharp's plan to launch an Aquaos LCD

flat-screen right?"

I nodded. "I've heard about it. They say this TV is excellent, not only lightweight and beautiful, but

also offering than traditional TVs."

Shunsuke Takahashi beamed with pride. "In LCD technology, Sharp has always been number one in the world.

Now, after years of hard work, we can finally ignite a revolution in the television industry, bringing a better life to the public

!"

"Then I congratulate you in advance, Mr. Takahashi,"

I said calmly. "Even my students praise it highly; you can imagine

how much ordinary consumers will love it."

"They like it, but we don't have a price advantage,"

Shunsuke Takahashi sighed. "Sony's CRT flat-screen TVs are so popular in the domestic market this year..."

Production and sales reached five million units, with global sales exceeding fifty million units. Knowing we were about to launch

the AQOS, Guixiang's best-selling HR36 saw an average price reduction of $100 per unit, while the largest, the 42-

inch model, saw a massive $500 price drop, bringing the domestic price down to only 150,000 yen—a 40% reduction.

Not only Sony, but Toshiba, Hitachi, and Panasonic also lowered their prices, all aiming to target our

AQOS!

I thought to myself, this is normal. Everyone else is using CRT technology, and you're making a groundbreaking

change, ushering in the LCD era for televisions. This is cutting off their revenue stream; no

wonder they're targeting you!

Modern companies have a major flaw—they'll continue using a technology until it's obsolete

, squeezing every last drop of profit from it.

A prime example is Microsoft; if it weren't for pressure from companies like Apple, its Windows

95 could have lasted at least ten more years.

It's said that Windows XP technology was mature as early as 1993, but companies simply didn't

release it or upgrade it, only gradually switching to the XP system around 2004.

In short, it was all about money.

Japanese TV manufacturers were in a similar situation. They were making

a good , and the market was far from exhausted; in fact, it reached a super peak this year. With global

CRT TV production and sales reaching 500 million units, such a huge number and such substantial profits—how could they

easily give it up?

Sharp certainly had its own difficulties.

In the global CRT TV industry, Sharp's market share was only about 3

% , completely disproportionate to its technological capabilities. Watching Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi,

Panasonic, and other manufacturers reap the rewards while they couldn't get a share, how could they be content?

Since they could no longer capture the existing market, they decided to innovate and launch a revolutionary Aquaos

LCD flat-screen TV, allowing the public to embrace new technology and experience a higher level of audiovisual enjoyment!

Thus, the problem became that Sharp faced immense pressure from almost all CRT TV

manufacturers .

Fortunately, Aunt Shizuka possessed a resolute character; she believed that pressure shouldn't deter them from their development, so

she encouraged Shunsuke Takahashi to forcefully launch their Aquaos LCD flat-screen TV, letting the market prove who was

right.

This wasn't exactly a gamble, but it was definitely a risk.

To avoid being too reckless, Sharp needed to find supporters domestically; otherwise, the Takahashi family

would be no match for the alliance of Sony and his group.

Despite the good relationship between the Morita, Takagawa, and Takahashi families—their daughters were even close

friends from school—when it came to business, they would fight tooth and nail, showing no regard for appearances.

Listening to Shunsuke Takahashi recount the aforementioned grievances, I realized that

the predicament facing the Takahashi family and Sharp was actually more severe than I had imagined.

"The reason we participated in the 'Unity of All' tournament was because when I approached Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa

, they said they would support me if I won."

Shunsuke Takahashi looked dejected. "Who knew that Lily would produce the 'King of Seven Colors,' and our 'Red Jade

Imperial Heart' was unfortunately defeated."

Not only the "King of Seven Colors," but even Yusong's "Supreme Imperial Emerald" couldn't compare, and you still dare

to say you won the competition? Of course,

I wouldn't voice these thoughts aloud, but outwardly I nodded and shared his regretful expression.

However, Shunsuke Takahashi certainly knew how to choose Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa.

The Oda family controls Sumitomo Bank and Sanyo Electric, part of the Sumitomo Group, while Yoshimasa Asai controls Sumitomo Corporation

and Sumitomo Metal Industries. The combined power of these two families essentially represents

the will of the top three Sumitomo conglomerates in Japan, a force that even Sony and his allies combined cannot contend with.

With their support, the difficulties would naturally be resolved.

Unfortunately, the Takahashi family was a bit unlucky; they didn't achieve their goal of "unifying all forces" and

it seems they couldn't persuade the two Sumitomo Group tycoons.

Thinking of this, a sudden thought struck me, and I vaguely guessed why Takahashi Shunsuke had invited me here today!
