Chapter 23 SAO Company on the Verge of Bankruptcy
June 17, 2022, Tianjiang City, Donghu Community.
Hallyu held a virtual helmet and looked up and down, "This is the virtual game helmet that engulfs more than 100 million players, and Akihiko Kayaba is so generous." ”
Hallyu stared at the mobile phone message sent by Zhao Yu, "Brother, SAO is a death game, don't settle in ......"
Hallyu paused and pondered: "The four major consortia have monopolized the market share of the virtual world, and they will never be easily inserted. ”
"Today, SAO is a scapegoat, bearing the wrath of more than 100 million gamers' families and facing legal sanctions from governments around the world."
"Nowadays, players die every moment, and the compensation that SAO has to pay is probably incalculable."
"The shareholders behind SAO are divesting, shareholders are frantically selling off SAO's shares, the market value is shrinking, and it is only a matter of time before SAO faces bankruptcy."
"Although I can't get my hands on virtual game technology, it is much easier to integrate the 99 platform server into SAO's server engine in China."
……
Tokyo, SAO Corporation's headquarters.
Chiya Fujiwara is the Vice President of SAO and is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of SAO.
Since the establishment of SAO, SAO can be said to be smooth sailing, sufficient funds, government support, all indicate that SAO will become a leader in leading the world into the virtual era.
But all this, since June 15, after the launch of the SAO virtual game, has taken a sharp turn.
Fujiwara Chiya's hands trembled, and he picked up a small pistol and aimed it at his temple with a slight tremble.
"Knock Knock ......"
Fujiwara Chiya was startled, put down the pistol in his right hand, and sighed, "I still can't face death." ”
Chiya Fujiwara put the pistol in the drawer, "Who?" ”
"Vice President, someone is looking for you."
"Say I'm not there."
"Vice President, the man said he was here to invest in SAO."
Fujiwara Chiya was stunned and muttered to himself: "Investor, SAO company has no value, who else would be stupid to invest in a company that is about to go bankrupt." ”
Fujiwara Chiya paused, "Bring him to me." ”
……
A minute later.
Fujiwara Chiya looked at the young man in a suit in front of him, no more than twenty-five years old, followed by two bodyguards.
Fujiwara Chiya said slowly, "This gentleman is planning to invest in SAO. ”
The young man smiled slightly, "The contemptible cold current entertainment group Hallyu came to SAO today to buy the operation rights of SAO's server in China. ”
Fujiwara Chiya smiled miserably: "Mr. Han, you have a good vision, but unfortunately, now the operation rights of SAO Company are no longer in my hands." ”
Fujiwara Chiya paused and continued: "Akihiko Kayaba has coerced more than 100 million players, and the service engine of virtual games around the world has been taken over by the government. ”
"These service engines are directly related to the lives of more than 100 million players, and countries around the world have carved these service engines out of the commercial scope, and these players have not been liberated from the virtual world for a day, and it is impossible for these servers to invest in commercial investment."
Hallyu sat opposite Fujiwara Chiya, his right index finger tapping the table regularly, and smiled: "President Chiya, the maintenance of the SAO server should still be in your hands." ”
Fujiwara Chiya nodded and said, "Although we have lost the right to operate, we have the responsibility to maintain the stable operation of the server, and governments around the world have clearly required it. ”
Hallyu smiled lightly, "I hope that Chairman Qianye will do me a favor, of course, this favor will not harm anyone, it is just a long-distance investment of mine." ”
Fujiwara Qianye said curiously: "Mr. Han, you might as well say it directly, I have come to this point, if I can help you, I will definitely do my best." ”
Hallyu chuckled, "I need Chairman Qianye to merge the server of my 99 competitive battle platform into the SAO server engine group. ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Fujiwara Qianye's eyes, and he was embarrassed: "Mr. Han, you also know that I have lost the right to operate the SAO server, and this may not be possible." ”
Hallyu stared at Fujiwara Chiya, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, "Are you raising your value, it's just that you still have what qualifications to bargain with me now." ”
Han Wave smiled lightly, "President Qianye will make a price, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." ”
Fujiwara Chiya said lightly: "I have also heard a little about the rise of Mr. Han, and in less than a year, Mr. Han has become the godfather of the film and television industry, the novel industry, and the animation industry, representing fashion and trends." ”
Fujiwara Chiya smiled faintly: "I'm not interested in Mr. Han's secret, and I know that Mr. Han's ability can't save the SAO company, I just hope that Mr. Han can save me." ”
Hallyu shook his head, "Chairman Qianye will really give me a problem, you and Kayaba Jinghiko are the legal persons of SAO Company, and the company's products have caused so many deaths, and you and Aoba Jinghiko have only one way to die." ”
"Even if the law won't kill you, the angry populace will tear you apart."
"The people are not looking for you to take revenge now because the government still needs a hateful object to receive firepower."
Fujiwara Chiya looked at Hallyu coldly, "Mr. Han, since it doesn't help me at all, then why should I help you?" ”
Hallyu said coldly: "Your daughter, your wife, your parents, are these chips enough?" ”
Chiya Fujiwara angrily pulled out a pistol from a drawer and pointed it at Hallyu.
The bodyguard behind the Korean Wave also immediately took out a pistol and pointed it at Fujiwara Chiya, "Put the gun down." ”
Hallyu sighed and stared at Fujiwara Chiya, "President Chiya, there may be a misunderstanding, I won't hurt your family, I mean I can be responsible for protecting your family." ”
"According to the company's property bankruptcy disposal regulations, all your assets will be frozen and auctioned to repay the compensation of the deceased player."
"Your family will be displaced, and you will even be retaliated against by the family of the deceased player."
Fujiwara Chiya put down the gun and said coldly, "Why should I believe you?" ”
Han Liu said lightly: "No matter how much money I give you now, I can't fill the bottomless pit of SAO Company, and I can't dispel the worries in your heart." ”
"Besides, you have nothing now, why don't you leave a way back for your family?"
"In the current situation, what can you do but believe me?"
Fujiwara Chiya sat down slowly, staring at the Korean Wave, "I will use the excuse of maintaining the SAO China server to merge the 99 sports platform server into the SAO server group." ”
Hallyu smiled lightly, "President Qianye, you will definitely not regret your decision today. ”
Fujiwara Chiya said solemnly, "You must ensure the safety of my family." ”
Hallyu nodded, "Don't worry, I, Hallyu, will do my best to protect your family." ”
Fujiwara Chiya nodded and took out a contract from the drawer, "The 99 Athletic Platform is merged into the SAO Virtual World China Server Group, and a contract is also needed to prove that this agreement has been signed before the SAO is launched, so that even if it is found that the 99 Athletic Platform server is merged into the SAO server group in the future, it will not be disassembled." ”
Fujiwara Chiya slowly wrote the contract, and finally signed and stamped it with the official seal, "Mr. Han, your request, in a few days, I will personally implement it, I hope that after my death, you will not break your promise." ”
Hallyu nodded and took the contract from Fujiwara Chiya, "I will arrange your family immediately and absolutely guarantee the safety of your family." ”
