[The Girls' School Teacher] (Episode 28, Chapter 1)

Episode 28　　　　: A 　　Fluttering 　　Heart

********** 　　　　　...　　　　 ********** 　　　　　　　　　　　　　...　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 A perfect wife, an obedient daughter, a large and thriving family business... 　　If he knew I was his son-in-law in the future, he would probably be both amused and exasperated by what happened today. 　　In fact, because of this relationship, I had no choice but to answer—my beautiful wife personally invited me over , so I had to give her father some face. 　　After a moment's thought, I said, "This dispute, to put it bluntly, is still a money dispute. Sony and other manufacturers want to continue making money with outdated CRT technology, while Sharp wants to open up a new world with new LCD flat panel technology. Everyone has their own principles, and everyone has their reasons for not giving up." 　　Takahashi Shunsuke smiled faintly, "Mr. Liu is quite right." 　　"Actually, solving the problem is very simple," 　　I said gently, "Since the launch of Sharp's Aquas LCD flat panel is imminent , let's cede some profits to Sony, Hitachi, Toshiba, and Panasonic, so that they can also quickly switch to LCD flat panel technology. This will weaken their resistance considerably." " 　　Cease some profits?" 　　Takahashi Shunsuke frowned, "You mean..." 　　I said, word by word, "Open up patent licensing!" 　　"Impossible!" 　　Takahashi Shunsuke refused without hesitation, "Mr. Liu, you're thinking too simply! Do you know what LCD flat panel technology means to Sharp? It's our only child, how can we give it to others?" 　　"No technology can be monopolized in the long run." 　　I wasn't angry, and continued, "None of the technologies that can be developed succeed... Only through everyone's joint efforts and the help of a large group of people can your invention successfully flourish worldwide!" 　　"Oh, is that so?" 　　Shunsuke Takahashi sneered. "What about Microsoft?" 　　"Is Microsoft monopolistic? Mr. Takahashi, you don't just see its monopoly on the Windows system, do you? " 　　I smiled slightly. "Microsoft's success wasn't because they bought and popularized the Windows system , but because they released a portion of the Windows source code, allowing all other software developers to easily use Windows as a platform to develop their own software." " 　　Ultimately, this means that these games, programs, audio-visual tools, applications, etc., cannot function on other operating systems without Windows; even if they can, it will feel very awkward. So, people who want to use these software programs will naturally not choose other operating systems, but will only use the Windows system." 　　"Actually, Mr. Takahashi, there is such a company as you're referring to: Apple. Apple's operating system has never released its source code, making it impossible for many companies' software to function smoothly under Apple's operating system. Although Apple has created hundreds of software programs, can the wisdom of one company compare to the wisdom of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide ?" 　　"So you see, Mr. Gates continues to stride forward, Mr. Steve Jobs continues to be fascinated by his own world, and Apple's computers remain lukewarm as always… Can't Sharp learn from Microsoft's success, instead choosing to follow Apple's stagnation? Mr. Takahashi, the magnanimity determines the company's magnanimity, and the company's magnanimity determines its market performance!" 　　"You…" 　　Takahashi Shunsuke's eyes widened. My words were quite blunt, clearly implying that he lacked magnanimity, didn't have the courage to share the market with Sony and their team, and that's why he was sitting here worrying about the market performance of Aquaos LCD flat-screen TVs . 　　"Oh, what's all this talk about?" 　　A clear, melodious voice came from inside. I turned around and saw Aunt gracefully emerge, carrying a bottle of hot water. 　　Pretending not to notice the awkward atmosphere, Takahashi Jing added hot water to the silver kettle, then sat between us, looking at me and saying, "Mr. Liu, do you have some good ideas?" 　　I didn't answer. Under the table, out of Takahashi Shunsuke's sight, I picked up a cell phone and then put it down again.

The beautiful, refined young woman, who could see my movements, was even angrier than her husband.

"So...you already knew I was up to something?

What a scoundrel!"

Even though the stunningly beautiful woman wanted to smooth things over, she couldn't help but feel the urge to beat me up, showing no

remorse for having been the one eavesdropping.

Takahashi Shizuka, being extremely clever, maintained her smile, picked up the silver teapot, and gently leaned forward,

pouring a cup of black tea for me and Takahashi Shunsuke. "Shunsuke and I invited Mr. Liu today because we have many questions

to ask . We hope Mr. Liu will guide us for the sake of Green. To be honest, we are all just insiders,

and we don't see as clearly as you do."

The beautiful, refined woman spoke appropriately, with gentle politeness, even displaying a humble posture born of seeking advice. This

was truly rare for a noblewoman like her.

Only she could say such things. It was fine for a woman to have a pleading tone, but Takahashi Shunsuke couldn't

bow down to me; it was his pride as a nobleman.

In Japanese society, truly learned individuals are highly respected. Representatives and directors of large corporations

, as well as heads of prestigious institutions, often cultivate

friendships . They frequently invite these professors out on weekends or when they have free time, or even visit them at their homes to hear

their insights and opinions on current affairs and finance.

Presidents and chairpersons of smaller companies typically wait outside the professors' homes with gifts,

only entering after the higher-ups have left to receive their guidance.

In this respect, Japan's attitude towards Confucian scholars is far better than that of their Western counterparts. Japanese professors

are more aloof than their Western counterparts. In Japanese society, university professors and department heads rarely hold concurrent government positions,

while Western professors are often actively involved in politics, exhibiting a strong desire for control.

As Takahashi Shizuka previously stated, those involved are often confused, while outsiders see things from a different perspective—

isn't this the difference between Western and Japanese scholars?

The beautiful woman's words, though soft and pleading, were indeed gentle. However, under the table where Takahashi Shunsuke couldn't see

, she had just been pouring tea when she stomped on my foot and ground it down, as if she harbored

a deep grudge .

I knew this was Aunt Shizuka's revenge; she was somewhat embarrassed and angry that I had discovered her little trick.

There was nothing I could do but endure it.

How could I possibly stand under the table and stomp on my mother-in-law like that?

I coughed lightly and repeated my views on "open patent licensing."

Even though Takahashi Shizuka had already heard it once, she listened intently, her eyes darting around, showing she

was deep in thought.

Takahashi Shunsuke, however, couldn't bear to listen. Whether just now or now, the phrase "open patent licensing"

swirled in his mind like a curse; no matter how many times he thought of it, he immediately rejected it without hesitation.

"Are you kidding me?

When your Sony Corporation dominated CRT, did you ever think of sharing it with me?"

What's more, the most aggrieved thing is that CRT technology was originally invented by Sharp, but it was later inadvertently

patented by companies like Sony. For a small fee, they could use CRT

technology to develop generation after generation of best-selling television products.

Having already suffered once, do they really want to "open up patent licensing" again?

"Get lost!" Takahashi Shunsuke really wanted to shout that. If he hadn't known I

had no connection with Sony and other companies, and if he hadn't been so self-assured, he would have already blurted that out.

"Mr. Liu, what you said seems a bit biased, doesn't it?"

After listening, Takahashi Shizuka asked softly, "Microsoft and Apple's examples are

within . In comparison, we at Sharp are just a technology developer. Using this technology to sell a single product

doesn't require us to operate like they do to bind everyone together. What do you think?"

"Hehe, Mrs. Takahashi, you're mistaken."

I shook my head calmly and said, "What high-tech product in the world can be monopolized by one company? Take your

television sets, for example. According to the Advanced Television Standards Committee (ATSC) in the United States

, there are over

five thousand patents just for channel bandwidth, audio compression, channel code, video compression, internal code interleaving, modulation technology, transmission schemes... Even if many have expired or some patents can be bypassed,

can Sharp completely monopolize the other thousands of patents?"

"I know you're unhappy that Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Hitachi

have surpassed , but it's undeniable that they also hold patents you don't have. If you

hadn't transferred those patents to them and instead manufactured the televisions yourself, you would have been sued for patent infringement just like them. So, do

n't feel resentful or unwilling because others have obtained your technology and subsequently surpassed you in research and development; instead, feel

ashamed! They've surpassed their predecessors, while Sharp is just a

useless wave washed ashore by the next generation."

"Yanagi... Ah!"

Takahashi Shunsuke slammed his hand on the table and stood up, only managing to utter one word before bending over in pain.

It was obvious he had been trampled by Aunt Shizuka, hence his pain.

Seeing Takahashi Shunsuke's face flushed red and unable to speak from the pain, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Aunt Shizuka

hadn't trampled me with that much force.

The beautiful, refined woman quickly stood up and gently patted her husband's back: "Shunsuke, don't be

angry ! Mr. Liu's words were a bit sharp, but they weren't without reason. How can you be so petty?"

"I...I have a stomachache. I'll go inside and get some medicine. You two talk first..."

Shunsuke, unable to retaliate, forced a nod to me despite the pain in his foot and limped

into the living room without looking back.

Watching Shunsuke's retreating figure, I gained a deeper understanding of Aunt Shizuka. It seems that gentleness

always hides malice! The more beautiful a woman is, the deeper her malice is concealed!

Shizuka, a smile playing on her lips, also watched her husband's retreating figure, but said, "Liu Junxiong, look at

the mess you've made for me today...If you don't come up with a solution for me, I'm not done with you..."

Wow!

She's multitasking!

I scratched my head. "Aunt Jing, I was really serious. This is the solution I came up with after racking my brains.

It's your own fault for not doing what I said, so what can I do?"

The beautiful woman smiled gently, looking at me tenderly. "Try calling me again?"

There was a hint of menace in her voice! In my haste, I forgot that Aunt Jing hated being called "Aunt Jing"... Hmm, most likely,

that "other" referred to me. Probably no man would dare call her Aunt Jing, especially one

not much younger than her.

"Hehe, why are you being so petty? Don't forget, I'm still your savior, Mrs. Takahashi!"

I quickly changed the subject.

"Savior? I am..."

Takahashi Shizuka's voice trailed off, a blush spreading across her face.

See? She knows she's bragging. Could she really say

"I am your savior" ? 　　However, having learned my lesson, I decided not to provoke her further. "Mrs. Takahashi, Mr. Takahashi seems to have always been prejudiced against me, but you don't. Think about it carefully, what did I say wrong? According to your initial ideas, even if Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa were involved, it wouldn't necessarily be good." 　　The beautiful woman glared at me: "Hmph, didn't you see how well our advertisements were done? How enthusiastic the response was? How eager the purchase intentions were?" 　　I looked at her calmly: "Mrs. Takahashi, have you heard of the Buddhist story of 'a leaf obscuring the view'? If the effect is so good, please show me the survey data." 　　Takahashi Shizuka was taken aback, her beautiful face furrowing slightly, "You don't believe me?" 　　"Not really." 　　Considering she was my mother-in-law, I didn't argue with her, "If the survey results were really good, would you and Mr. Takahashi be so nervous, running around seeking help?" 　　"..." 　　The stunningly beautiful young woman remained silent. 　　"There's something I didn't say earlier, and I'm afraid Mr. Takahashi wouldn't admit it even if he heard it. We know each other, and we're friends, so I can tell you," 　　I said calmly. "Generally speaking, you should have already been negotiating with distributors about stocking the product three months before the launch. If I were in charge of Sony, I would definitely join forces with Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, and even Philips , LG, and Samsung to promise distributors, big and small, more rebates, less pressure to stock up, and more convenient and faster payment procedures… Then, through the distributors, we would launch a large-scale price reduction promotion a week or a month to attract attention." 　　"Sharp's Aquas LCD flat-screen TVs were already priced significantly higher than CRT TVs . After this uproar, what kind of TVs distributors sell isn't important; making more money is the most important thing. For consumers, being able to buy a more affordable and high-quality TV is also the most important . Besides, there's nothing wrong with CRT TVs; the maturity of the first generation of LCD flat-screen TVs is still a question mark." 　　"Enough!" 　　I was about to say something when Takahashi Shizuka's brows furrowed, and she was slightly angry. "Yanagi Junxiong... are you here to anger me or to help me?" 　　Aunt Shizuka's chest heaved, and her breathing became rapid; she was clearly very angry. 　　I sighed and said seriously, "Mrs. Takahashi, I'm right, aren't I? Opening up the wound will hurt , but we have to face the problem because only by facing it bravely can we solve it. What do you say?" 　　Takahashi Shizuka's gaze was unfriendly, and her beautiful face was uncertain, but her eyes weren't fixed on me; they were somewhat shifty. This meant that she didn't hate me, but rather the people I mentioned— it could be the major television manufacturers, the middlemen, or even the various retailers ... 　　I could sense that upstairs behind me, in the room on the second floor facing this direction, through the curtains, Takahashi Shunsuke was standing listening to our conversation. He wasn't angry, but he looked very dejected. 　　"Mommy..." 　　At the crucial moment, the tall, beautiful little girl abandoned her eavesdropping mission and ran over. 　　She ran briskly to Takahashi Shizuka, threw herself into her arms, and blinked her big, curious eyes: " What are you talking about so enthusiastically?" 　　I almost laughed out loud. 　　No wonder she's Aunt Shizuka's daughter; even her greeting is the same. 　　Takahashi Shizuka also realized what was happening, glared at me first, and then smiled at her daughter: "Nothing, are you having fun over there? Mommy and Mr. Liu are talking, you go watch TV!" 　　"No, no, I'm all grown up now, I can help Mommy with her problems!" 　　Midori shook her pink arm, pouting and refusing to listen. 　　"Okay, okay...you've shaken my bones almost to pieces..." 　　Aunt Jing doted on her daughter, patting her little face. "Then you can sit here and listen . It just so happens that your teacher is giving a lesson to Mommy..." 　　She thought it was good that her daughter was there. She was very familiar with Liu Junxiong and was also Liu Junxiong's student. No matter how sharp-tongued Liu Junxiong was, he wouldn't show it in front of his student! 　　"Oh?" Midori pretended to be surprised, blinking her eyes at me. "Junxiong, you're so capable?" 　　Takahashi Jing was troubled and didn't notice her daughter's expression. Midori took the opportunity to give me a wink, her eyes pleading, indicating that I should go along with her mother and seriously help my wife's family. 　　"It's just theoretical knowledge," 　　I said modestly. "Otherwise, how come your parents run a large company while I can only teach?" 　　"Heh...you're too modest!" 　　Midori glared at me. "Fine, there's nothing I can say to you. You two continue, I'll just listen." 　　My wife's presence meant I needed to work harder to make Takahashi Shunsuke and Takahashi Shizuka realize their mistakes and change—constantly giving in wouldn't help them, but would harm the Takahashi family and Midori's parents. How could I do that?

"So what if they lower their prices? We'll just sell at a lower price too!"

Takahashi Shizuka suddenly blurted out from her silence.

"Mrs. Takahashi, doing business isn't about spite, it's about making money."

I laughed. "Besides, Sharp isn't just your Takahashi family's business. As a listed

company , you're responsible to your other shareholders. If the Aquaos LCD flat-panel TVs suffer a major setback and

incur huge losses, the shareholders will definitely be unhappy, which will affect the Takahashi family's

position . What will you do then?"

I paused, then continued, "Furthermore, LCD flat-panel TVs are a new type of television, and the R&D

costs are not low. The initial production costs are unlikely to be reduced. But CRT TVs? They're already a mature

technology, and the costs have been spread out very low. Plus, they're an industry alliance. They have enough

power to suppress Sharp and keep you in huge losses for three to five years!"

Takahashi Shizuka couldn't help but feel bitter.

These were things she had already thought of, but had kept to herself. Now, with this stinky man pointing them out

so bluntly , she felt an urge to explode again.

Good heavens.

Aunt Jing had always been a well-behaved girl in public, and after marriage and childbirth, she had become even more refined, no longer displaying

the spoiled and willful nature of her youth.

Now, having been "humiliated" by me time and again, the stunningly beautiful woman gritted her teeth, feeling that she had

already shown great restraint by not pouring the red tea on this stinky man's head.

"Wow...that's dangerous?"

Green, however, didn't have as many concerns as her mother. She trusted me to solve the problem, so she said, "Junxiong,

don't in suspense...tell me the solution..."

The beautiful girl's voice was very sweet and coquettish, but neither her mother beside her nor her father listening upstairs

thought there was any connection between her and me; they only assumed she was pleading with her teacher for the sake of the family.

As I spoke, my foot was stepped on again. This time, it was Little Green stepping on me.

Damn it, violence, like beauty, is indeed hereditary.

My beautiful wife is angry that I always analyze things but refuse to offer solutions.

I gave a wry smile. Didn't I already tell you the solution? It's just that your parents are unwilling to do it!

Sharp is so desperate for money that they couldn't wait to make

money , ignoring that they're surrounded not by sheep, but by wolves.

Let alone Sharp, even Sony can't monopolize the market for any product

.

The Takahashi couple are so obsessed with success and revitalizing their family that they have such a stubborn obsession.
