Yesterday, I just learned that the Atari street game console that played "Los Angeles Cubes" has appeared on the market.

An employee of Mason Ventures in Silicon Valley happened to know that Han Chudong was too angry because CEO Bushnell, the actual controlling shareholder of Aurora Games, tried to license the game to Atari Company, so after seeing the new Atari game console, he reported the news as soon as possible, and this news was quickly summarized by the secretary's office and passed to Han Chudong.

Assistant Arthur's guess was similar to Han Chudong's thoughts.

At this moment, Han Chudong was drinking coffee, his expression was a little strange, and he said: "I probably regret cooperating with me, I want to play delaying tactics." If it is done well, it will be three or five years from now, and by then Bushnell will have made enough money from street game machines, and he will still be able to earn more by paying me a little compensation. ”

Not to mention too annoyed, he had already been betrayed once at the end of last year, and he already felt that he couldn't trust that guy.

Doing business is not like this, as long as the interests are big enough, it is easy to sell the partners, Arthur said: "It seems that he chose to settle last year, not really want to reconcile, maybe just plan to delay the time and let Atari's new game console be sold to the outside world first." Or maybe I wanted to reconcile at that time, but I felt that the profits were too big, and I regretted it, and it seems that there have been street game consoles from other companies recently, which has pushed Atari very tightly, and Atari has no other products other than "Ping Pong". ”

The implication is obvious, Bushnell may have encountered strong competitors, and when the very profitable Atari company had problems, he felt that he would sell Han Chudong and get the new game directly from Aurora Games to ensure his interests in Atari.

Han Chudong finished drinking a cup of coffee, poured another cup, and continued: "No matter what, anyway, he offended me badly, if he comes to the door to discuss with me, I may only take a little advantage from him, and then agree to help Atari Company, but that guy has a problem with his head, he doesn't tell me anything, and he just robs me openly?

It's just whining.

Arthur's assistant helped with the idea and said: "I remember that Atari was preparing to go public, and when a scandal broke out at this time, I believe that financial newspapers and financial TV programs should be very interested, and no one would want to invest in a company that is burdened with an important lawsuit." ”

After listening carefully, Han Chudong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this can be used as a bargaining chip for negotiation, Bushnell doesn't seem to attach importance to the home game console project, but I am still interested." Look at these short-sighted guys, they can really me off...... I called him and said that if I didn't want to go to court and ruin the good situation in the listing stage, I would come to Los Angeles to discuss with me in person. ”

With his head moving fast enough, Arthur asked tentatively, "Do you want to take Bushnell's shares in Aurora Games?"

"That's right, compared to cash compensation, or Atari, that's what I wanted......"

If Bushnell, who served as the chief executive officer (CEO) of Atari and Aurora Games, respectively, hadn't played this show with Han Chudong, Han Chudong might have been willing to join the other party and take advantage of the opportunity to seize the home game console market, but now he has completely lost patience.

Since the two major shareholders of them do not agree, the final situation is nothing more than Bushnell squeezing him out, or Han Chudong squeezing the other party away, Bushnell has more advantages in this matter, after all, he is the controlling shareholder.

And out of self-interest, Han Chudong doesn't plan to give up the upcoming home game console project because this guy is too disgusting, so he must think of a way to see if he can take advantage of the other party's losses and sweep that guy out of the Aurora Game Company.

There is no doubt about the importance of the right to speak, if the shares are too small, you can only gamble on luck to see if the partners are really capable.

In contrast, the Hermès lady of Hermès is very good, and after getting the funds, she has continued to maintain the high profile of the brand, with four new stores put into operation, advertising on some high-class occasions, and cooperating with Hollywood female stars and European aristocrats, sales have increased by more than 20%.

Against the backdrop of a sluggish economic situation, this figure is already very good.

Even better is the Gucci company, a wave of promotional activities, so that its sales compared with the previous year, directly doubled, because advertising investment and opening new stores are too expensive, but the profit on the surface is shrinking, and the valuation has increased significantly.

Han Chudong's control of Gucci and his decision not to pay dividends for five years has drawn opposition from some Gucci family members, who also have little vision.

Fortunately, CEO Maurizio Gucci was on the same side as him, so the opposition of those small shareholders was taken by him as a deaf ear.

The reason why he said to Arthur "these short-sighted guys" instead of "this guy" is that Han Chudong is clearly very sure to take them to make a fortune together, but they pull back from time to time and block him, who can be comfortable when they encounter this kind of thing.

......

New year, new atmosphere.

Han Chudong was too lazy to go far away, so he asked Arthur to help inform the executives of Gucci, YSL, Intel, Mason Trust and other companies to come over to talk to him, and if he couldn't find time, he held a conference call, planning to re-sort out the development plan and determine this year's goals.

I spend a lot of time thinking, I have read all the financial reports, and I know the situation of each company.

The morning begins with a meeting with the executives of Mango Toys.

There is nothing to say, but we continue to work closely with the agents who make money, and the focus is nothing more than the fight against infringing and pirated products, as well as the expansion of product lines.

Cartoon characters such as Big-Mouthed Monkey and Ahri drawn last year will be derived from comics and puppets, and stationery, clothes, school bags, etc. will also be customized and purchased from third-party companies and sold through agent channels. In terms of toys, the main products of the year are identified as Transformers, Magic Balls, 4WD cars, Super Bubbles and other products are still making money, plus nearly $20 million in cash on the current account, which is enough to support the completion of these new projects.

As soon as the gang left, the executives of Baofeng Electric then entered the conference room, and the representatives of the shareholders of the three parties were there.

Speaking of Baofeng Electric, through its own expansion and mergers and acquisitions, it has as many as 97 stores, more than 10 under construction, and has won a small number of shares in two chain electrical appliance sellers.

It has not only steadily expanded on the West Coast, but also set foot in the East Coast market, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and other cities.

CEO Joe Austin is more capable, and he hardly needs to worry about Han Chudong on weekdays, and he can continue to apply the ready-made sales model if he is given sufficient funds.

However, today the veteran employee was not present.

Seeing the empty seats around him, as well as the ugly faces of everyone, combined with the news of a large number of job hopping in various departments this year, Han Chudong had a premonition of something, and he was mentally prepared to hear bad news.

Seeing that no one spoke, he took the initiative to ask, "I heard about a large number of resignations, and Joe took those people away?"
