Tanimura's expression was in Shirakawa Kaede's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

If there is discord within the club, you can communicate privately, but you can't do it at the year-end meeting.

Glancing at the other party slightly, the latter noticed Shirakawa Kaede's eyes, and immediately put away his expression and sat up seriously.

"Iwata-san, tell me more about these families."

"Hail"

Next, Satoshi Iwata began to introduce the situation of these clubs to Shirakawa Kaede, and the information is similar to what Tanimura knows, and there are indeed too many slots.

But after communicating with them, Satoshi Iwata had a different view.

"Hudson Software, they've started to change their business strategy. Judging from the latest releases, the quality has improved a lot compared to the previous ones.

We need more developers for our home consoles, and Hudson is willing to accept the preconditions of our game review.

The game that has passed the review will land on the Shirakawa Electric home game console platform, and from the perspective of development prospects, I think Hudson can give it a try. ”

Of course, Satoshi Iwata doesn't do nothing at all, and he talked to Hudson's two Kudo brothers, and they are not unaware of their problems.

"And Enix, even though it's a new club, the '1st Game Interest Contest' they held was very interesting.

This year alone, we received nearly 300 entries, including some interesting mini-games.

So I think just having so many entries deserves our extra attention to the development of Enix. ”

Satoshi Iwata is interested in their appeal in the game industry, and such competitions are held every year, and there are always some games that stand out.

"As for Mr. Kenzo Tsujimoto." Satoshi Iwata paused, "I feel that he still has considerable ambitions in the game industry, and with his ability, he will definitely be there in the game industry in the future." ”

"I'll take the time to meet them in the next year." Kaede Shirakawa decided to talk to them himself.

"Understood, I'll arrange this." Satoshi Iwata nodded in agreement.

"Regarding the handheld, Tanimura-san, your progress is going to be accelerated."

The development of the handheld was handled by Tanimura, but to be honest, Shirakawa Kaede was a little unhappy with his progress.

The home game console, which started almost at the same time as the handheld, Satoshi Iwata was almost done, but the software debugging that Tanimura was responsible for was always flawed.

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's reminder, Tanimura immediately replied loudly, "Shirakawa-san, please rest assured, the development of the handheld will definitely be completed on time." ”

Shirakawa Kaede was noncommittal, it was not okay to shout loudly, he only looked at the result.

After going through the HAL Institute's plans for the coming year, Shirakawa Kaede focused on the LCD factory again.

The current LCD factory is hanging under the SIC, after all, the technology of STN and TFT is in the hands of SIC, but this does not affect its supply to Shirakawa Electric.

However, because this is the first year of operation of the factory, there is no external development except for serving as a parts supplier to Shirakawa Electric.

And the profit in a year is only about 500 million yen, which is better than nothing, and it is still your own money that you earn.

But next year, with the production of STN, their role will also change.

Shirakawa Kaede focuses on them to put more energy into the construction of production lines and the expansion of customer channels.

The same is true for Shirakawa Energy's battery plant there, and the first samples of the chewing gum battery at the Tohoku University Research Institute have already been obtained, and they will be officially launched to the market next year.

AutoNavi Toys will give up the production and sales of electronic toys from next year, and instead transform into the development of peripheral products in the fields of games and animation.

The HAL Institute and Tokuma Bookstore will be the objects of its feeding, and Shirakawa Kaede has been raising them for more than a year, and it is time to start earning a living on his own.

As for Tokuma Shoten and Bic camera, since Shirakawa Holdings is not the dominant party, it is enough to maintain the status quo.

And the profit of Bic camera has also increased significantly this year, last year's profit was 20 million, compared to 400 million yen this year, which really made Shirakawa Kaede more satisfied.

After all, compared to the original investment, it is already a lot of money.

After all these club situations, in the end, only Anke Electric remained.

"Kimura-san, have you decided to develop your own personal computer at Unison World?"

"Hai, Sun San's determination is strong. The motherboard and other circuit boards will be manufactured by Acro Electric, and we will also take care of the design of the power supply. ”

This is the first time that Anke Electric has launched its own products, and although it is only accessories such as motherboards and power supplies, it is enough to make Kimura Eiji excited.

"Then let's do it well, maybe there will be good profits in the future."

Kaede Shirakawa does not specify the annual goals of all clubs within the group.

He only controls the general direction, and the other details are played by the respective responsible persons.

The computer, motherboard, and power supply of Sun's head will be in charge of Anke Electric, and the CPU will be in charge of SIC.

Tsk, two of the three major pieces of computer hardware (CPU, motherboard, and graphics card) have fallen on themselves.

No, discrete graphics cards haven't appeared at this time, but SIC has a graphics auxiliary chip, which is roughly similar to a core graphics.

If you calculate it this way, it seems that the main accessories of the computer are alive.

Alas, it's so helpless if the ability is too strong.

The parts within the group are just scraped together, and they are all about to assemble a computer.

Having said that, Anke Electric's profit this year has exceeded 1 billion yen.

On the basis of last year, it has increased by nearly 3 times, and the main profit comes from the export business of electronic products.

In recent years, it has been the global expansion period of Neon Electronics, and Shirakawa Electric has also contributed to this.

Otherwise, where did so much profit come from, relying on neon alone, his wealth would have shrunk by more than half.

However, when it comes to wealth, Shirakawa Kaede's assets this year have expanded very rapidly.

SIC made a profit of 40 billion, Shirakawa Electric made a profit of 140 billion, Beidu Bank made a profit of 40 billion, HAL Research Institute made a profit of 16 billion, and other bits and pieces of 2 billion.

All of this adds up to 238 billion yen, or $950 million.

The money will basically be transferred to the account of Shirakawa Holdings, and who does Shirakawa Holdings belong to, cough~ Shirakawa Kaede said that he wanted to keep a low profile.

Counting the profit of $220 million in the previous two years, and the $540 million of shares sold at the time of listing.

The cash available to Shirakawa is about $1.71 billion, which is cash, not all other assets.

$1.71 billion, cash!

If only personal wealth is counted, this cash alone will be confident that Shirakawa Kaede will rank in the top 20 neon.

If you count the valuations of all the companies under Shirakawa Holdings, this figure will be magnified many times.

It's a pity that there is no Forbes rich list in this era, otherwise on the neon list, Shirakawa Kaede's name will definitely appear in the top ten range.

But there is a way that wealth is not exposed, so Shirakawa Kaede will not be stupid enough to advertise how much money he has all over the world.

On the day when the word "Shirakawa" failed to become a household name, he had no such plans.

The year-end meeting lasted for almost half a day, but when everyone came out, they were all beaming.

At their level, what they get is no longer as simple as salary, but dividends are the majority.

Although the financial accounts were at the end of March, they already knew how much they could get after the meeting.

As for the people under each club, how much pension will there be, that is the job they will be responsible for.

In this way, the pyramid model of Shirakawa Holdings' management was constructed.

Of course, in order to avoid unfair treatment of subordinates by the boss's decision, there will be a second audit by Arai Yu, which is another meaning of the existence of the holding parent company.

The end of the year-end meeting means that the new year is coming.

This year, Shirakawa Kaede did not return to Akita early, because there are too many affairs here in Tokyo, and it is estimated that he will only be able to fly back to Akita for a day or two on January 1st.

The senior sister is filming in the Northeast, and Keiko Matsusaka is lame in her attempt to participate in the daily management of the big show.

Bai Chuanfeng wrenched his fingers and calculated carefully, it seemed that only the little tiger tooth was still a little empty.

However, it is only relatively speaking, and this period of time at the end of the year is also the busiest time for artists.

There are countless awards and performances, and so is Xiaohuya.

But recently, she has been calling herself every day, either to ask for warmth or to ask if she needs her service.

When did Xiaohuya become diligent? Kaede Shirakawa said that the sun was really coming out of the west.

For the sake of her working so hard, Shirakawa Kaede has been temporarily staying here for the past two days.

No, I bought this apartment myself.

Thinking about this, Shirakawa Kaede became straightforward again.

"Straight", "strong", literally.

"Wait, I'm so tired~!" Seiko Matsuda lay down on the bed and put it in a bad way, not even wanting to wear clothes.

"Hey, I'm satisfied." Shirakawa Kaede shook twice, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Spare me, I still have an event to attend today." Seiko Matsuda pulled the quilt over the corner and put it on top of him.

Forget it, for the sake of her half-squinted eyes and tiredness, Shirakawa Feng will withdraw her troops first.

"When does your record contract with Sony expire?"

"Huh?" Seiko Matsuda was a little strange what he cared about, but she muttered to him in a daze.

"There is still a long time, and newcomers sign records for about five or ten years."

"So long?" Shirakawa Kaede was a little surprised.

He also thought that the record company would sign a contract for a year or two, and then decide whether to renew the contract based on the artist's performance.

"Because many newcomers were trained by record companies before their debut, in order to ensure that the previous investment has enough income in the future, newcomers sign long-term contracts."

So that's the case, Shirakawa Kaede knows.

"Forget it, I'll go talk to Ohga-san about this matter in person."

"Eh, what's the matter?" Seiko Matsuda got up with a grunt, and she was keenly aware that there was a terrible message in Shirakawa Kaede's words.

"I'm going to set up a record company, how about it, is Shengzi-san interested?"

"Record label?" Seiko Matsuda stammered in confirmation.

"Of course, in order to cooperate with the development of Shirakawa Electric, the record industry is also part of the plan for the coming year.

But it's a pity that there is no one around me who understands this aspect and is absolutely assured. Bai Chuanfeng secretly poked and poked at the bottom of his little belly.

"Shirakawa-kun!" Seiko Matsuda sat down on his knees.

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede looked at him uncertainly.

"The Holy Son is no longer tired, and the ace masseuse applies to fight!"

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Chuanfeng to respond, he has already begun to work hard.

Hiss~Tap! Tap!

This little tiger tooth doesn't know the weight too much.

Shirakawa Kaede was in pain and happy.
