Chapter 100: Metal Slug

The first step of the long march is finally the hundredth chapter, gratifying.

Arikawa Hao smiled dumbly and said, "Does Zhou Sang want to rely on robbery to get the DB company?" Otherwise, it's better to come up with the money. ”

Zhou Shuo spread his hands and said: "I don't have money, but I have a way to make money for President Youchuan, I don't know if Lu Dao can be used as money." ”

"Oh?" Arikawa Hao was really a little interested, nodded and said, "You can talk about it." ”

Zhou Shuo took out a thick stack of A4 paper-bound documents from his leather bag and handed them to Arikawa Hiroshi: "I know that President Arikawa has a game development company under his name, and they are also in this library building. I planned a game called Metal Slug in this document, which could be developed by this game company. ”

Arikawa Hao took the game plan, turned the two pages casually, and said casually: "For the case of entrusting game development, you can just find the game company directly, so you don't have to go through me." The cost of commissioned development is a million-dollar plate, and the income is probably less than one-third, which is nothing compared to the output value of DB company. ”

"It's not a commissioned development game." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "It was developed by the Zhenghua Game Company under the command of President Arikawa. ”

Arikawa Haole said: "Zhou Sang is really whimsical, what good is this for me?" You just bring a game planner, and there are more of these things, so I can get a game planner for 1 million yen and I can do whatever I want. It's ridiculous that you're trying to trade this for a stake in my DB company. ”

Hiroshi Arikawa threw the game plan on the table, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Mazi-chan will send me off." ”

"Yes, President. Come with me, both of you. Shibasaki Asako stood beside the two of them and bowed slightly, stretched out her hand and said.

Zhou Shuo's face was serious, and he didn't look at her: "President Youchuan, I can underwrite 1 million copies that year." ”

The laughter stopped.

At this time, computer games were not yet flourishing in Japan, and most of the games were games developed for major game consoles. The prices of these games range from 2,000 yen to 4,000 yen, depending on the difficulty of the game and the reputation of the work.

Underwriting 1 million copies, at a low price of 2,000 yen, Zhou Shuo's purchase price will be 1,500 yen, that is, the total contract price of 1.5 billion yen. As for the cost, 200 million yen is already sky-high, which is more than twice as expensive as DB's 51% stake.

"Zhou Sang is very confident in himself." Arikawa shook his head and said, "But I don't think you have this ability." ”

"We can sign an agreement." Zhou Shuo quickly said: "200 million yen in cash and 1 million game sales contracts in exchange for 70% of DB's shares." If I can't complete the underwriting task within one year, 200 million yen will be owned by President Arikawa, and the equity of DB will be recovered. ”

Hiroshi Arikawa and Oda Shoo were all dumbfounded, this was a big gamble. Bet that this game can be a big hit, as long as it is a hot sale, Zhou Shuo can't help but get DB company without pressure, and he can also make a lot of money. However, if it loses, DB and 200 million yen in cash will be lost.

Such self-confidence and courage are rare in the world. Although Zhou Shuo seems to be a harmless scholar, he is more of a dark and cunning businessman. But at this moment, the two clearly felt that what they were in front of was a male lion who was ready to choose someone to devour.

If this guy can't become a big man on this planet, he will definitely die early.

But it did impress Hiroshi Arikawa. For the Japanese, they are too much to eat. If you are desperate, you will go to heaven and go to hell if you fail. The pursuit of cherry blossoms and the splendor of a short moment is simply the national character of the Japanese people.

Of course, no one would know that Zhou Shuo didn't take the slightest risk at all. Not to mention a million copies, the Metal Slug series of games has sold more than 10 million copies in the history of the classic! When Zhou Shuo was young in his previous life, how many nights were spent with this game. Exaggerated and witty character movements, delicate and delicate painting style, handsome and neat dagger melee combat, and the tank that can jump and crawl! It's the only game in history to have nine games in a row with a virtually unchanged engine, and what better way to say it's a side-scrolling shooter classic.

"I'm going to have a representative in the company, and you can't transfer DB's patents for a year, and you can't fire any employee for improper reasons." Hiroshi Arikawa's face is like frost.

Zhou Shuo was overjoyed, she clearly agreed to her proposal and began to think about the matters after the sale.

"No problem, we can write all of this into the agreement."

Hiroshi Arikawa nodded cautiously, there are as many lies and traps as there are opportunities in the mall, only money will not lie. Since Zhou Shuo dared to suppress the heavy bet of 200 million yen, why did she dare not bet? Anyway, even if the sales fail, with his 200 million yen as a base, she will not have a loss. Even if it fails, it will be enough to sell DB again.

Hiroshi Arikawa picked up the game plan he threw down again, and carefully read it from the first page.

Zhou Shuo and Oda sat on the sofa, drinking tea little by little. Oda Sho's eyes were different when he looked at Zhou Shuo, and he didn't even dare to make a sound when he drank tea, as if he was afraid that Zhou Shuo, a collaborator, would be more than Arikawa Hao, a negotiator.

All DB employees on the 10th and 11th floors of the Library Building were gathered in the largest conference room, asking each other nervously.

"Could it be that the company has been sold?"

"It should be, Rili Ishida Akikun just left, probably President Kawa agreed to their acquisition request."

"That's miserable, Rili Software will definitely fire more than half of the people, even if there is severance pay, it will be very difficult for me to find a job at this age......"

"Hey, stop talking, President Arikawa is here."

The sound of footsteps in clattering high heels came from far and near, and Arikawa Hao came with a group of company executives.

The group went straight to the temporarily arranged podium, Arikawa Hao turned on the microphone and tapped it lightly with his hand, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"Colleagues, please be quiet, the profitability of DB has been greatly challenged recently, and I must apologize to you for my ineffective leadership as president!" Arikawa Hiroshi said, taking a step back and bowing deeply. When I looked up again, I already had tears in the corners of my eyes.

"Thank you very much for your long and outstanding contributions to DB......

Hiroshi Arikawa stood on the stage and delivered an emotional speech. Although everyone had long known that the company would inevitably be sold, they still shed tears of excitement at this moment.

"President, since the company is in difficulty, I am willing to take only half of my salary for the time being, please don't sell the company to people who won't cherish it!"

"Yes, President, there are any difficulties that you can overcome. But DB is the brainchild of many people here, so please think about it again! ”

"President, please continue to lead us no matter what! I'm going to work harder, harder! ”

"How can you fix it, Rili bastards!"

Hiroshi Arikawa stood on the stage, closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "I understand your feelings very well, but DB Company is no longer its own problem at the moment. If DB continues to be given a blood transfusion, the profitability of the entire library software group will be threatened. At that time, it will not be a DB company, and as the president, I will have to be responsible for all the employees in this library building. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry......"

Hiroshi Arikawa made another ninety-degree deep bow, and paused for a moment before he raised his head and continued: "However, the new owner of DB is not Sunny Software, and the new president, Oda Shofu, is from Tadanobu Software. Although the amount of the acquisition is relatively small, he promised that he would not lay off employees for unnecessary reasons in the next year, and would retain the name DB. ”

Everyone in the audience looked at Oda Juno who came forward and was stunned for a moment, and then made a big uproar.

Isn't it Sunray Software Company? President Arikawa actually rejected the request of the Rili Group for the benefit of the staff? This is simply unheard of. From the staff's point of view, this is simply the worst situation of the worst things, and they never dreamed of it.

Of course, Hiroshi Arikawa will not tell them that he may be able to hold a tear of sympathy for them, but he will not bear the additional cost because of this. Since the result is already so good, let the misunderstanding continue.

Zhou Shuo also smiled while standing in the audience, if he could get a smooth transition from the company, it would not be a big deal to help round out a lie. In order to avoid touching the sensitive national pride of the Japanese, he relinquished his position as president, even though he owned 70% of the shares of DB. Anyway, Oda Takao, the president, can't do anything without his support, so let him be a marionette.

Oda Shofu stood in front of the microphone with a smile on his face: "Contemptible Oda Shofu, from today onwards, he will be the president of DB Company. DB is a great company with a proud history and great staff. The reason why the business is in trouble right now is more a matter of opportunity. Please believe that I will be able to lead you to continue to create a more brilliant future for DB Software Company! ”

"President Oda, please take care of me in the future!" It turned out that the DB company executives who were standing behind Hiroshi Arikawa stepped forward and bowed 90 degrees deeply, holding a tray in both hands and sending it to him.

On this tray lined with red cloth is the official seal of DB and the financial statements at this moment, and I saw Oda Takao pick up the official seal and stamped it heavily on the financial statements in front of everyone, symbolizing the complete transfer of ownership of DB from this moment on.

Of course, the real transfer procedures have already been completed, and this moment is just a formality.
