Chapter 21: Hiroshi Yamauchi's shock
Hiroshi Yamauchi got up early in the morning and had breakfast, and the driver drove him to Nintendo's headquarters. Since taking over the company, he has come early every day, welcomed the company's employees, and greeted everyone very well. But when he saw Miyamoto's hat, Yamauchi didn't give him a good face, after all, his friend Lao Miyamoto told him about Miyamoto's hat last night, and Lao Miyamoto apologized for it. This kid is actually leaving the company, and he also wants to investigate for a period of time to let Miyamoto hat be the leader of a project!
RB has a lot of game professionals looking for jobs every year, Nintendo still has no shortage of excellent talents to join, and he didn't take Miyamoto's resignation to heart, but just said a few words to him at the door as an elder, and he didn't have to send his resignation at this level, so Miyamoto Hat's departure was still going very smoothly.
But when Hiroshi Yamauchi arrived at the office, he was a little angry when he saw Yokoi's resignation report. Immediately called Yokoi Junhei to his office, wanting to enlighten him and hope that he would stay in the company. So Junhei Yokoi came to Hiroshi Yamauchi's office.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: "Can Yokoi-kun tell me why!" he said, pointing to Yokoi's resignation report.
Yokoi Junhei knew that he couldn't hide, and said, "Your Excellency, there is a Xiangjiang company that I can't refuse, so I can only live up to your expectations of me. ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi: "Xiangjiang Games has no prospects, and I can assume that nothing has happened. He also handed the resignation report back to Junhei Yokoi, "You're still the head of our hardware development department. ”
Junhei Yokoi: "Your Excellency, President, I know that you are very important to me, but I am overstretched for many developments in the company, and the resources are not in place. You can't give the treatment given to me by the company within the company, otherwise it will break the internal salary balance and make it even more inconvenient for you to manage, so I hope you can let me leave, after all, I have to think about it for my family. ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi: "Can I know which company it is?"
Junhei Yokoi: "Black Cloud Gaming Company. ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi: "Okay! Since Yokoi-kun must leave, then you go to the company's personnel department to go through the formalities! In addition, I don't want you to take anything from the company, otherwise we will have to meet in court." ”
Yamauchi Hiroshi is also a very straightforward person, since he can't keep it, let's get together and disperse! Bao Zixuan didn't expect Yokoi Junhei's resignation to go so smoothly, it seems that Yamauchi Hiroshi will definitely be an important competitor of himself in the future!
On August 27, 1977, Bao Zixuan and his party who had stayed at RB for 10 days arrived at Tokyo International Airport, leaving four employees in charge of the formation of the RB branch, and the others were ready to return to Xiangjiang. And there are 12 more people than when they came, these people are the RB game talents recruited by Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto hat, the RB of this era, the talent reserve in this area is the envy of the world.
At the same time, there are some materials on Nintendo's Yamanaihiro's desk, if Bao Zixuan sees it, he will be very familiar with it, because it is some detailed information about Black Cloud Games Company and his personal.
Hiroshi Yamauchi was also shocked when he saw the introduction, but he didn't expect a company that had been established for more than a month to develop so rapidly. And he also went out of his way to see two games developed by Kurokumo, as a person who has been engaged in this for more than 30 years, he knows that Nintendo's life will not be easy in the future. There will be a strong competitor, but if you defeat the strong, your achievements will be recognized by the public, and it seems that you will start to increase your game development efforts.
When Bao Zixuan returned to Xiangjiang, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the company sent a car to bring the engineers from RB directly to the hotel. Bao Zixuan had already arranged for Zhao Tingting to rent a 6-story office building as the temporary headquarters of Black Cloud Games. Directly relocate all the companies in the office building at a high price, and then pay all their expenses yourself. At the same time, RB engineers were arranged for one of the best apartments near the office building, which cost 3 million Hong Kong dollars alone, which is more expensive than buying a factory. and hired an RB chef for them separately in the company, which shows that Bao Zixuan has invested heavily in them.
After having dinner with the RB engineers, they were arranged to go back to rest, and Bao Zixuan did not go home, because he was going to study in the United States, and he still had to sort out the affairs of the factory in the past few days.
After coming to the factory. It is very gratifying to see the workers working actively. Because he gives the most salary and bonuses, everyone cherishes this job, after all, people in this era are still very simple. At least the workers in the nearby factories want to come to work in Black Cloud. They are also afraid that others will knock them off.
After Bao Zixuan came to his office, he began to look at the company's production in the past few days. It is still satisfying, and now the number of workers in the factory has reached 330. Fortunately, some nearby residents did not want to arrange accommodation, otherwise they would not be able to live in the dormitory alone. The Ministry of Security already has 30 people, and the moving team has more than 20 people who have been trained in military affairs, so they can cope with ordinary crises. If any more members of the club come to make trouble, it is not powerless to fight back.
After seeing the report, I looked at the sales of 60 units of Xiangjiang Cube and 100 units of Pac-Man every day. Bao Zixuan smiled very happily, this is equivalent to the speed of making money from a money printing machine! The profit of each unit is more than 1,000 US dollars, so Bao Zixuan's income is now not less than 160,000 US dollars a day, and this is not counting the copy of Taidong Co., Ltd. In Heungjiang, there are only a few big banks and consortia that may earn more than him. Now the expansion and development is also quite confident, fortunately the account is divided into several banks, but this is the case HSBC still raised the credit line for him. And came to the company several times to get a loan from Heiyun.
The current scale of the factory has restricted the development of the company, especially after the development of the American market, the production capacity will not be guaranteed, Bao Zixuan picked up the phone and made a call to He Mingcheng.
He Mingcheng: "Your kid is back!
Bao Zixuan: "It's okay, Uncle He, I want to take down this land now, but Pan Jianwen went to Canada, how should I do it!"
He Mingcheng: "Is the game so profitable? I want to do it, then you call him directly, I send him a document, and after he signs it, we can send him the money, and the problems have been taken into account when signing the contract." You can pay him a 30% deposit first, and then I'll take care of it for you. ”
Bao Zixuan: "My own money is of other uses, can I borrow a little money from the bank?" ”
He Mingcheng: "You are now a high-quality customer of major banks, and many banks are rushing to give you loans! Don't worry, I will help you solve your legal problems." So Bao Zixuan called Pan Jianwen across the ocean.
Pan Jianwen: "Xiaobao! Why did you remember to call me, I received your last payment, I didn't expect it to be so fast! What happened this time! I heard that the factory has been doing well since you took over!"
Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, don't I want to expand the scale! So I want to see if I can fulfill the original agreement, and ask you to buy land!"
Pan Jianwen: "I knew that it was not good for you kid to find me, you can buy land, but I don't want money." Don't worry about your company's shares. I just want your company to be represented in Canada, and I want to do something for the benefit of future generations. And in the case that my offspring has not made a mistake, no one can cancel his agency. ”
Pan Jianwen is worthy of having done arcade production for so many years, and his vision for watching games is still very accurate.
Bao Zixuan: "Originally, I wanted to find customers to operate the North American market by myself, but Pan Sheng, you said, well, I promise you that the agency of Black Cloud Games in Canada belongs to your family, as long as Black Cloud does not go out of business, it will always be effective." ”
Pan Jianwen: "Happy, I will send you a power of attorney right away for you to go through the transfer procedures." You can exchange the money for buying land for a game console and send it to Canada, and it will be calculated at 46 million Hong Kong dollars in less than a year. Let's get the contract ready later!"
Bao Zixuan told He Mingcheng about the main content of the conversation with Pan Jianwen, and asked him to contact Pan Jianwen to handle the transfer procedures and procurement contract. This is a happy situation for both parties, Bao Zixuan saved money, and Pan Jianwen left a chicken that lays golden eggs for the future development of the family.
