Hearing that Shirakawa Kaede was going to hand over the development of the handheld to himself, Satoshi Iwata was eager to try it out at the same time, but he was also a little worried.

After all, Tanimura has seen the experience of the past, but he has seen it with his own eyes.

And the way Shirakawa-kun started the fire, it's really scary.

They already knew each other before they graduated, and Shirakawa Kaede has always been a gentle and kind image in the eyes of Satoshi Iwata.

But today Satoshi Iwata finally got to see him, his ruthless side.

But soon Iwata Satoshi put these interferences behind him, and he was not corrupt, so he was worried about something.

His favorite thing is the computer, the second is the game, and the third is the beauty.

As for money, Satoshi Iwata doesn't have any extreme pursuits, just enough for it.

And for a fat house, he didn't even spend much of the money he had earned in the past few years.

So after hearing that Shirakawa Kaede wanted to hand over the development of the handheld to himself, Satoshi Iwata hesitated a little and began to really think about its related development work.

After pondering for a while, he pondered and spoke. "Next summer, there should be no problem."

"Good! That's next summer. Shirakawa Kaede was very satisfied with Iwata's reply.

Without mentioning such and such difficulties, the time was given directly.

It's like the original Tani Village, either there is not enough manpower, or time is tight.

In short, during the entire handheld development process, five or six requests were made.

However, although he didn't ask for any additional requirements, Shirakawa Kaede still considered some auxiliary work for him.

"Please be sure to bring up any requirements during the development process, and if necessary, the SIC and LCD factories will fully cooperate with the development of the handheld.

The goal is to launch the handheld smoothly next summer. ”

"Hay!" With such assurance, Satoshi Iwata's confidence is even stronger.

In fact, he just gave the time for next summer, which is already a conservative estimate.

With his experience in developing the previous generation of handhelds, as well as his familiarity with SIC8089A, this cycle can be shortened.

But in order not to see Shirakawa Kaede get angry, he gave a development cycle with enough margin.

The handheld project has started again, and Shirakawa Kaede's previous bad mood because of Tanimura's affairs has finally improved a lot.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, looking at the faces of everyone in the conference room, and said solemnly, "the next phase of HAL will focus on the development of handheld ODS.

All people must unconditionally cooperate with the development of the project, which includes personnel transfers and the assignment of work tasks. ”

"Hay!" Everyone agreed in unison.

As for the posture of Tanimura and Yamamoto being publicly executed before, they didn't dare to perfunctory.

"In addition, the follow-up development of FES will be handed over to Yamashita-san for the time being, and Iwata-san will temporarily assume the position of president of HAL."

FES has now entered a stable period, and there will be no changes to the console anytime soon.

At most, it's to develop supporting things such as handle peripherals.,This Yamashita Daiji is completely competent.。

As for the development of the FES game cartridge, there are six production teams in the field, so you don't have to worry too much.

No matter how bad it is, signing so many third-party game developers is enough to digest the number of game cartridges released each year.

The appointment of Satoshi Iwata as the acting president of HAL is also paving the way for Kaede Shirakawa to officially take over the position of president next year.

Wait until next year, when the handheld is developed and officially launched. As long as the sales are passable, then the word "generation" of President Satoshi Iwata will be removed.

Everyone in the conference room could naturally see that Shirakawa Kaede was deliberately cultivating Satoshi Iwata, but they had no objection to this.

First, he developed the best-selling FES, and then he was ordered to take over the development of the handheld ODS.

With these two feats in his body, Satoshi Iwata's promotion, everyone is convinced.

In addition, most of HAL's employees are young people, and they are not very particular about each other's seniority.

In this way, the management of HAL underwent an abrupt change, but it was quickly reorganized.

But the handling of the Tanimura and Yamamoto incident is far from over.

As soon as the meeting ended, Shirakawa Kaede kept letting the audit team of Shirakawa Holdings settle in the HAL Research Institute.

In the coming period, they will conduct a full financial review of the HAL.

Shirakawa Kaede didn't believe that just Tanimura and Yamamoto could steal a huge amount of money of nearly 300 million yen without telling the world.

It would be difficult to do this without the cooperation of the people below or other departments.

Several important departments, such as the original handheld development team and human resources, were the focus of the review.

At the same time, Yamamoto went through the interrogation in the conference room just now, and after he came out, he also said everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that at the very beginning of the matter, it was indeed Tanimura who found him first.

Tanimura, as the president of HAL, is the nominal top executive.

Although there is still a parent company, Shirakawa Holdings, the latter is not involved in much of the day-to-day business activities.

After all, the game industry is different from traditional businesses, and it is not just a matter of sending two people over and having fun.

Because of his decision on game and software development, Tanimura is the absolute authority in the eyes of ordinary members.

It just so happened that he took over the development of a new generation of handheld computers at that time, and all the funds, personnel transfers, etc., were under the power of Tanimura.

When Tanimura approached Yamamoto and began to make his first large reimbursement.

Although the latter was shocked, he did not dare to report it directly to Baichuan Holdings.

The Neon Club is also hierarchical, and the head of a company is already an existence that cannot be resisted by employees.

You don't see, in order to please customers, the boss of the future Xiaori directly stuffed the employee's face into the hot pot.

There are also male members of Dentsu at the banquet, who are forced by the leader to finish drinking and pour beer into their shoes.

As for the scene where the president spills coffee on employees in public and picks up things around him and smashes them, it is even more commonplace.

And how do these employees who have been treated unfairly do it?

The employee who was stuffed in the hot pot didn't even resist at that time. The other colleagues present also did not respond, and resumed their work after a two-day break.

The male member of Dentsu, who drank beer with his shoes, left a shadow in his heart because of the unbearable humiliation, and later committed suicide by going straight home.

Did you find it? When these members were bullied, they did not resist immediately.

Even if you can't stand the most extreme resistance of these things, you hide in your home alone and then commit suicide.

Why is the character of neon people so extremely forbearing, and everyone is accustomed to workplace bullying?

This is related to their traditional culture, and there is also a very objective description in "Chrysanthemum and Knife".

"Neon is extremely aggressive and very gentle; martial and beautiful; arrogant, self-respecting and polite;

stubborn and weak and fickle; tame and unwilling to be manipulated; loyal and prone to rebellion;

brave and cowardly; Conservative but very welcoming to the new way of life. ”

This text describes the character of the current neon people, and the way of doing things is extremely appropriate.

In this environment and culture, it is not surprising that they recognize the strict rules and habits of the workplace.

Is there a phenomenon of workplace bullying in HAL, or even Shirakawa Electric?

There is no doubt that Shirakawa Kaede has no way to completely eradicate this phenomenon.

All he can do is ensure the welfare of his employees as much as possible.

The rest of the matter, the neon government has nothing to do, what can he do.

So in the face of Tanimura's blatant false declaration of large expenses, Yamamoto knew that it was greasy and did not dare to question it.

Especially after Tanimura gave him some benefit fees, Yamamoto even enjoyed it.

Later, the courage gradually grew, and the two partnered to invest the research and development funds of the handheld computer into the stock market.

For them, developing handhelds can make a lot of money.

Not to mention the long cycle, even if it succeeds, it will only be a little bonus.

But the stock market is fast, and the principal of two or three hundred million yuan is enough for their salary for a year.

So for most of the year, Tanimura's mind was spent on stock speculation, and how could he have the energy to manage the development of the handheld.

casually threw the project into the hands of the people below, and he and Yamamoto were very happy to speculate on stocks.

It wasn't until now, when Shirakawa Kaede personally came to verify the results of the handheld, that everything surfaced.

Speaking of Shirakawa Kaede, he is also more curious, according to Tanimura's income in the past few years, it should be enough to be called a social elite.

But why is he still trying to find ways to collect money for himself through these crooked ways.

Later, after listening to Yamamoto's explanation, he learned that the more than 200 million yen he had earned in the past few years had been transferred to the stock market by Tanimura Huohuo.

The results speak for themselves.

Shirakawa Kaede really didn't understand him, and his savings were lost by stock speculation.

Why didn't you stop it in time? Is stock trading the same as gambling books?

Tanimura's psychology is unknown to him, but the most important thing now is to recover the R&D funds in the stock market.

With Yamamoto's cooperation, the professional financial team soon transferred the remaining 140 million yen.

Fortunately, half of the 300 million yen can be recovered, otherwise Shirakawa Kaede would really not be so easy to let him go.

This matter was dealt with back and forth for nearly a month, and finally the preliminary results were obtained.

Yamamoto of the finance department of HAL is suspected of helping the former president Tanimura to report false accounts and transfer the company's public assets.

In the end, he was ordered by the headquarters to resign and leave, and was relieved of all related duties.

Considering that the amount of money he was greedy for ink was not much, HAL did not send him directly to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In fact, the most fundamental reason why he was not allowed to step on the sewing machine was that Shirakawa Kaede had reached an agreement with Tanimura.

The latter handed over the shares, and the former did not pursue his legal responsibility.

If Yamamoto is sent in alone, he will be unbalanced in his heart, and he will definitely confess to Tanimura, the mastermind.

Now that the two sides have signed it, Shirakawa Kaede has also kept his promise.

After all, with a loss of less than 200 million yen, in exchange for 1.8% of HAL's original shares, this transaction is definitely a good deal.

Otherwise, according to the rapid expansion of FES and game business this year, Tanimura's dividend at the end of the year will be more than 200 million yen.

And there was a financial scandal in the club, which is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Considering the social implications, the matter was eventually handled in a low-key manner.

Tanimura took the blame and resigned, handed over his shares and left. Yamamoto was blacklisted and disappeared.

At the same time, two members of the development team were transferred from their original department to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A deputy head of the personnel department was dismissed, and an agreement was signed that HAL would not have to pay any compensation.

So far, the "handheld incident" ended with the resignation of three senior executives and the transfer of two developers.

"All the incriminating evidence about Yamamoto and Tanimura has been sealed, and it must not be lost."

"Hay!" Assistant Oda nodded in understanding.

Shirakawa Kaede looked at Tokyo outside the window, his eyes sometimes flashing with light, sometimes falling into deep thought.
