How Sharp got into a mess

You know that Japanese electronics company Sharp are in the shithole?


This is what happened:

Sharp (LCDs) and Sony (home electric appliances）are negotiating a merger.
Sony: Yo.
Sharp: Who the fuck are you? [Sharp president at visiting Sony reps]
Sony: What did you say to me?
Negotiations break down, Sony signs a deal with Samsung.

Sony: Shit, just Samsung alone isn't enough LCD panels.
Sharp: Pay me and I'll make you some.
Sony: Then let's do a partial partnership.
Partnership begins.
Sony: Where are the panels, it's last deadline.
Sharp: STFU, we're making Aquos TVs. [They were actually selling well back then.]
Sony: FUCKER.
Samsung: Here's some LCD panels, I made them on time.
Sony: Nice work Samsung, I'll get you to make all of our panels then.
Sony moves away from Sharp.

Sharp: No one's buying our Aquos TVs! WTF are we gonna do, Sakai LCD factory?
Toshiba: Make some for us.
Sharp: OK.
Toshiba: Where are the panels, it's last deadline.
Sharp: STFU, we're making Aquos TVs.
Toshiba: You gotta serve your customer first.
Sharp: There's a lot of demand because of eco points right now.
Toshiba: That's why we need those LCDs quick.
Sharp: Idiot.
Toshiba: FUCK YOU.
Toshiba moves away from Sharp.

Sharp: No one's buying our Aquos TVs! WTF are we gonna do, Sakai LCD factory?
Sharp: Anyone?
