Chapter 29 Industrial Adjustment (I)

A conversation with Yang Xinxin made Zhang Lexing recognize his own ability and have new thoughts about his future development. However, before the adjustment, Zhang Lexing decided to take a look at the situation of the group of employees who came to the United States for further study.

The car was arranged, with a bodyguard acting as the driver sitting in the front seat, and Zhang Lexing sitting in the back seat. The car drove to a small building on the street next door to VisualSystem, which was the new office building after Blue Dragon Studio was upgraded to a game development company, where the employees who came to the United States for further study followed their predecessors. When Zhang Lexing came, it was unfortunate that he was just in time for the critical moment of several projects, and it was not easy to disturb Zhang Lexing, who was busy with everyone, so he brought Albert, the director of development, to find out.

Zhang Lexing sat in the reception room near the door, sipping coffee and listening to Albert's presentation of the performance of the trainee employees during this time.

"The bosses, they are very good and they are quick learners, and after the first 2 months of training, they have now found their right position. ”

"And what have they been doing lately?"

"There are eight people working on our two project teams, "Top Players 2" and "Basketball One-on-One", and there is also a young man named Zhan Jun who is quite good, we think he is very suitable to be the project director, and now a small project has been arranged for him to do, and there are three more in his group to study. ”

"Well, when the project is completed, you can make an evaluation report so that I can understand the skills that these people are good at and the direction of development in the future. ”

"Okay, boss. ”

……

Leaving the office building of the Blue Dragon Game Development Company, the car continued to drive to VisualSystem. It's not a long distance, a few hundred meters down the street, then right into another block, and about two hundred meters straight ahead of the VisualSystem headquarters building.

After talking with Yang Xinxin yesterday, Zhang Lexing thought for a long time, the next few years are a period of change in game consoles, if you want to be left and right, then you must make a choice from now on, Zhang Lexing came to VisualSystem headquarters today mainly to talk to Yang Xinxin about this matter.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Lexing walked into the office building with a briefcase and walked along the passage to the elevator. After pressing the floor button, Zhang Lexing turned around, grabbed the handrail tightly, and looked out through the glass of the sightseeing elevator. With the rapid rise of the elevator, the scenery on the ground gradually becomes smaller, and the surrounding vision gradually expands......

With a "ding", the elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor, and the elevator doors quickly slid open to both sides. Zhang Lexing walked out of the elevator and walked along the passage to the door of Yang Xinxin's office. Knocking lightly on the door, Zhang Lexing pushed the door in, said hello to Yang Xinxin's secretary, and walked into Yang Xinxin's office.

Hearing someone come in, Yang Xinxin glanced up and said, "Brother, you're here." I guess you slept late last night, so I didn't call you in the morning, are you resting?"

"Very good, no problem at all. ”

"Would you like a drink?"

"Let's have a latte. ”

Yang Xinxin motioned for Zhang Lexing to sit down, then pressed the button on the table, picked up the microphone and commanded a few words. After a few gossips, the secretary walked in with a cup of coffee, and then put it on the table in front of Zhang Lexing. Reaching out to test the temperature on the wall of the cup, Zhang Lexing felt just right, so he gently picked up the white porcelain cup and took a sip, and a smooth, sweet, luscious and rich taste bloomed on the tongue.

Putting down the cup, Zhang Lexing said: "Come over today, in fact, there are important things to discuss with you." ”

"What's important? Brother, tell me about it. ”

"When I go back, I'm afraid that the company here won't be able to take care of it, and I plan to let KF-Panda go. ”

"Are you really willing to do it? This company seems to be the most profitable in your hands right now. Yang Xinxin looked at me in disbelief.

"Really, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, if you really can take care of it, how can you sell it. Of course, this kind of good thing will not be cheap to outsiders, I immediately thought of you, Sister Xin, it is better to sell it to VisualSystem. Zhang Lexing tried his best to maintain a sincere expression.

"You're so cunning, you sell it to yourself, and you ask me for money. Yang Xinxin pursed her lips.

"It's different, I invested a lot of money and worked hard in this company before. Zhang Lexing counted with his fingers: "You see, I spent millions at the beginning of the company, and then I had to invest money every year to develop games, and I wanted to make game enhancement chips." I was involved in almost all the games I made in the first two years, and it took a lot of effort. In this way, I also suffered a loss, a fixed price of 300 million US dollars. ”

"$300 million! Hehe, you might as well grab it. Yang Xinxin frowned, it seemed that this price was still a bit unexpected to her.

"Actually, you won't suffer a loss, you just need to look at the financial statements of KF-Panda in recent years, and you will know that this transaction is a sure profit, just those best-selling series on hand, any one of them is millions of sales. The profit in a year is definitely more than 100 million US dollars, and the investment can be recovered in less than three years, which is more cost-effective. ”

"It's not unreasonable for you to say that, but with so much cash out at once, we're under a lot of pressure. ”

"Well, in that case, I can also pay it all at once, you can give it to me in three years. However, this first payment must be given to me as soon as the contract is signed, and it cannot be less than $100 million. ”

"Okay, but such a big matter must be decided by the board of directors, but you can't participate. ”

"I know, related-party transactions. It's inconvenient for me to go, so you can help me say more good things. ”

"Well, I'll schedule an emergency meeting in the afternoon and come up with a resolution as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. ”

……

In the evening, Zhang Lexing finally waited for the news about KF-Panda, relying on Yang Xinxin's efforts, of course, more importantly, KF-Panda's financial statements impressed the other members of the board of directors, the acquisition motion was unanimously approved, and the specific acquisition action will start next week.

A few days later, Zhang Lexing welcomed several corporate strategic planning experts invited by Yang Xinxin in his villa to start a three-day seminar, which some people call the Game Empire Creation Day in the future. At the same time, several investigation teams also began to collect the information needed by Zhang Lexing in Japan and the United States with different purposes.

A week later, the action of industrial adjustment began......

The first to appear was VisualSystem, which held a grand press conference at the Marriott Hotel to announce the acquisition of KF-Panda in front of a large number of media outlets.

Ballmer stood on the podium and excitedly announced: "...... Our company is very optimistic about the future of the video game industry, and the acquisition of KF-Panda will allow us to quickly enter the field of video game development...... Next, the representative of KF-Panda and Ms. Yang Xinxin, the president of our company, will sign the equity transfer agreement on the spot. ”

In the midst of a continuous stream of flashes, VisualSystem completed the eventual acquisition of KF-Panda, which was relatively simple to operate as it did not involve a public company.

At the same time as VisualSystem, Cheung Lexing also started his own actions, and the first step was the integration of Hong Kong's industry. Zhang Lexing envisions that the group company will be involved in game development, game distribution, consumer electronics, microelectronics, animation publishing and distribution, software, film and other industries in the future, and may even develop in finance, resources and other industries, but only electronic entertainment, electronic manufacturing, and publishing are the core industries. After all, some people have been in charge for many years, and suddenly they have to add a management to their heads, not everyone can accept it calmly, so as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, Zhang Lexing brought Dr. Yu and Cao Zhilin and others to communicate first, so as to avoid internal instability.

After calming everyone's emotions, Zhang Lexing began to officially start. First of all, based on the Hong Kong chip factory and microelectronics research institute, a company was established, and Dr. Yu was the president of the company. Immediately afterwards, a group of managers were transferred from his own industry, and Zhang Lexing personally injected one billion US dollars to establish a company called Oriental Holdings, which served as the headquarters of the Future Group. After the establishment of Oriental Holdings, Zhang Lexing injected the shares of Oriental Microelectronics, Kunpeng Animation and other companies in his hands, and the assets controlled by Oriental Holdings swelled rapidly. Then, Oriental Holdings invested 80 million US dollars to establish Oriental Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., whose main business is the development and distribution of games, and Maxis Hong Kong Studio became its first game development agency. Finally, on this basis, Zhang Lexing initiated the establishment of Oriental Industrial Group and completed the adjustment of Hong Kong's industry.

After the establishment of the Oriental Industrial Group, Zhang Lexing returned to the United States, preparing to continue to integrate some industries in the United States into the group. The first to complete the merger was FCSource, which has mastered many FC game copyrights, and some of the original FCSource managers and personnel transferred from Kunpeng Animation formed Oriental Copyright Trading Co., Ltd., which is responsible for all future copyright transactions of the group's products, while FCSource in the United States became the American branch of Oriental Copyright Trading Co., Ltd. Then the Blue Dragon Game Development Company and the Game Research Institute merged into Dongfang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., which became the bridgehead and R&D base of Dongfang Electronic Entertainment in the United States. The Red River Fund maintains its current independent status and is responsible for helping Zhang Lexing deal with investments in the United States.

The industrial adjustment has basically been completed, and the people sent out by Zhang Lexing to inquire about the news have also given feedback, and the situation in Japan is far more complicated than Zhang Lexing imagined.

Shogakukan was founded in 1922 by the first president Takeo Soga, is one of the largest comprehensive publishing houses in Japan, the current president is Takeo Soga's eldest son, Totsuo Soga, originally a traditional family business, and then corporatized in 1945, but still maintains the tradition of a family business, the number of employees is 813, the company is not listed. Shueisha was originally the entertainment magazine department of Shogakukan, but in 1926 it became independent from Shogakukan, and in 1949 it was reorganized into a limited liability company, and Shueisha Co., Ltd. was officially established, and the office building was located opposite Shogakukan, and the current president was Hideki Yamashita, with 722 employees, and Shogakukan owned 80% of its shares, and the rest was owned by some printing and sales companies. Originally, the investigators sent by Zhang Lexing only targeted Shogakukan and Shueisha, but in the course of the investigation, it was found that there was another Baiquan Society, which was also a related company, so the investigation report sent back also included information about Baiquan Society. Shirasensha was originally a member of Shueisha's production team, and then became independent from Shueisha in December 1973, and its main works are mainly shoujo manga, and the current president, Norikazu Sakaguchi, has 82 employees. All three publishing houses are part of the Hitotsubashi Group and are controlled by the Soga family.

At the end of the report, Bullock, who was in charge of the investigation, wrote: "...... The Hitotsubashi Group is nominally corporatized, but in fact it is mainly a traditional Japanese family-owned company, and it is difficult to acquire. ”

It seems that the road to the expansion of Kunpeng Animation is not so easy, Zhang Lexing sighed, put down the investigation report of the Japanese Animation Publishing House, and picked up the investigation report on the American film industry.
