Akio Morita
The year is now 1972. Tokyo Telecommunications, the company I founded with Masaru Ibuka, was acquired by Fujitsu in 1952, when Ibuka betrayed me and voted me out of the company, and then out of Japan. I was starving on the streets in Guangdong, far away from Japan, before my now-partner Li Ka-shing took me in. I founded a second company called Sony and am now rivals with Ibuka. I believe in a society where everyone's needs are catered to and prosperity fulfilled without cutthroat competition.
