Chapter 216: I've Fallen in Love with Other People's Factories
Since he promised Koichi Minato, Hideki Hanyu naturally won't delay any longer.
Compared to the electronic Poké Balls in Neon there are possible billions of profits.
It doesn't matter what the twin sisters spend.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just an embellishment in a man's career
A little physical pleasure is nothing compared to the sense of accomplishment that comes with career success.
Throughout the ages, whether it is a grand plan to dominate the industry, or a shopping mall to compete for power.
In the end, which man will be obsessed with beauty and indulge in gentleness?
So when Hanyu Hideki said goodbye to Yasuko Sawaguchi and left his home in Nakano Ward.
All the temptations just now were immediately thrown aside.
My mind is full of thinking about the marketing method of electronic Poké Balls in neon.
Thinking along the way, Marco drove the car outside the headquarters of Cloud Culture.
"Boss, the car won't go, you need to get off here."
Hanyu Hideki, who was thinking about it, heard Marko's words and realized that his destination had arrived.
Glancing out the window, he was surprised to find that, like the headquarters of the painting on the clouds, the culture on the clouds had also become half a construction site.
The location of the old factory building has been fenced off by construction.
Looking through the not-so-tall fence, you can see that the construction machinery is working inside.
Apparently the new office building of Cloud Culture has also begun to work.
And looking at the construction situation, it should have just begun.
However, the car can't drive in, not because of the construction.
Instead, at the gate of culture on the cloud, a large group of people were blocked.
At first, Hideki Hanyu thought that it was Elf Entertainment holding a job fair.
But after a closer look, I found that the queue was basically all women, which felt a little wrong.
He couldn't get through the main entrance, and he didn't delay much in the car.
Get out of the car and head straight for the side door, ready to go in from there.
As a result, when I looked at the place, I found that the side door had also changed greatly.
The original side door was an emergency entrance to the old factory.
Now the old factory building has been turned into a construction site, and as a result, the side door has become the entrance and exit of the construction site.
Standing at the gate of the construction site, Hideki Hanyu was thinking about who to take him in when he saw a man wearing a white hard hat walk out.
After the other party saw him, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Did President Hanyu come to see the construction site?"
This person is the person in charge of the production control department, Juntada Kusaomura.
"The gate was blocked by a crowd of people, and I was going to enter through the side door."
Hanyu Hideki looked Kusamura Junzhong up and down as he spoke, and quipped, "Why is Kusamura-san dressed like this, was he transferred to the Ministry of Infrastructure by Kitahara-san." ”
"Chairman Hanyu, don't be kidding, when did we have the Ministry of Infrastructure, I came here because there are some equipment left over from the production department in the factory, and I am going to pull them to Ota District."
Juntada Kusamura explained.
"What's going on over there?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"The gate?" Kusamura Juntada looked puzzled, "I just came from Ota Ward in the morning, and I haven't been to the office building yet." ”
Seeing that Kusamura Juntada didn't know the situation either, Hanyu Hideki waved his hand and said, "Forget it, can this door still go to the office building?" ”
"You can go, but you'd better bring your hard hat, President."
Kusamura Juntada said, greeting the staff in the distance.
Immediately, someone brought a hard hat to Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu really didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to enter an office building today.
After walking into the construction site, many employees on the scene hurried over to say hello after recognizing him.
Everyone thought that he was inspecting the scene, and a bunch of people followed him cautiously, wanting to hear his opinion.
Hanyu Hideki walked for a while, and found that there were more and more people following behind him, and immediately guessed what these people were thinking.
This construction site has just begun, and the old factory has not been demolished yet, so what can he say?
Inexplicably, there is a feeling that Party A went to the scene in the previous life to go through the motions.
But it's understandable.
His big boss hadn't shown up for a long time, and suddenly he appeared and ran to the construction site.
Anyone will beat the drum in their heart.
"Let them go to work, don't follow me."
Hanyu Hideki turned his head to Juntada Kusamura and said.
Then he entered the office area through a small gate of the construction site, under the leadership of Kusamura Junzhong.
However, when he returned the helmet to Kusaomura Junzhong, he asked again.
"How is the production of the second batch of electronic Poké Balls orders from America."
"The second batch of orders has a total of 3 million units, and 1.5 million units of the basic version have been put into production, and the remaining models of different versions have not yet started production." Kusamura replied.
"Why hasn't production started yet?" Hideki Hanyu frowned.
"Most of it is because the software development has not been completed, among which there are 200,000 AC power supply models, and the AC power supply system is not in sufficient supply, and it cannot be put into production for the time being."
Kusamura Juntada's tone was cautious.
After all, he is responsible for the management of production, and the production progress is not ideal, which must be his problem.
Although Hanyu Hideki is not like most neon club bosses, he often scolds his subordinates when they make mistakes, and even does it directly.
On the contrary, because there are few reasons to get angry, Hanyu Hideki often just frowns, which is enough to make the hearts of his subordinate employees tremble.
The deterrent is not small at all.
However, this time Hanyu Hideki did not blame Juntada Kusaomura.
There is a cycle in the production of semiconductors.
Even if they are fully prepared, they must not violate the objective laws.
And if there is a problem with the software, the production department cannot be blamed.
As for the AC power supply system, this version was not planned at the beginning, and it is understandable that it was not well stocked.
According to the sales situation on the American side, it is estimated that it will be out of stock next week.
The most important thing is that America's products can't be produced, and Neon's sales can't be launched.
This matter must be communicated with Eri Kitahara.
"I see, Kusamura-san should be busy."
After Hanyu finished speaking, he walked towards the office building.
Juntada Kusamura behind him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the boss of Hideki Hanyu.
He summed up a truth, that is, even if you make mistakes, you must tell the truth.
Trying to cover it up with lies or other reasons will only backfire in the end.
After leaving the construction site, Hideki Hanyu saw the girls pouring in from the gate again.
He found that the target of the girls seemed to be the area of the Genie Publishing Comics Studio.
However, knowing that the production of electronic pets is lagging behind, he will not be able to guess what is happening.
When you enter the office building, you go straight to Values Kitahara's office.
"President Hanyu."
As soon as he arrived at the door of the president's office, Eri Kitahara's assistant got up to say hello.
"Hello." Hideki Hanyu responded briefly and walked towards the office.
Eiri Kitahara's assistant hurriedly said, "President Hanyu, President Kitahara is receiving guests. ”
"What guest?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"It's the foundry owner I've worked with before." The assistant replied.
"I know, when Kitahara-san is done, you let her go to my office."
Hideki Hanyu said.
Eri Kitahara was busy with work, and of course he couldn't just break in.
Leaving Eri Kitahara's office, Hideki Hanyu walked towards his office on the other side.
Along the way, there was another series of greetings from the president.
He hadn't appeared for a long time, but Hideki Hanyu could see that everyone was a little curious when they saw him.
"Hanyu-sensei, I thought you'd rest for a few more days."
When he came to the door of his office, there was a greeting from the president, and his assistant Reiko Uemura was the most unique.
From the old office building in Shibuya Ward, Reiko Uemura served as his assistant.
The relationship between the two is naturally not as raw as that of ordinary bosses and employees.
"I didn't plan to come over today, but I have something to do with Kitahara-san temporarily."
Hideki Hanyu said as he entered the office.
Even though I didn't come for a while, the office was very tidy.
As soon as he sat down in his chair, Reiko Uemura followed in, placed a stack of papers in front of him, and spoke to him.
"Hanyu-sensei should contact me in advance and let me talk to President Kitahara, who has been busy with his schedule lately."
"Is there anything important lately?"
Hideki Hanyu was a little puzzled.
He doesn't remember any big moves in Cloud Culture lately.
While asking, he flipped through the documents that Reiko Uemura had put down.
It's all work that happened during his absence, and it's been dealt with.
Reiko Uemura showed him these documents, presumably to let him know about the company's current situation.
"It seems that there is a problem with the foundry that helps Elf Entertainment produce Takuma Geko, and President Kitahara personally went to Ota Ward last night."
"What's wrong?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"I don't know the specifics, it seems to be operational, and it has also led to the delay in the delivery of a batch of Tuoma Gezi of Elf Entertainment."
Reiko Uemura replied.
"I know, Uemura-san will go get busy first, and if President Kitahara comes over, you let her come in directly."
"Yes, Hanyu-sensei, I'll go out first."
Reiko Uemura finished speaking and was leaving.
This is Hanyu Hideki remembered the bunch of girls downstairs, and asked casually, "When I came, I saw a lot of girls at the gate of the club, what did they do?" ”
"Are they comic book fans coming to the book signing?"
"Manga fan?"
Reiko Uemura's answer caused several question marks to float on Hideki Hanyu's head.
"Today is the day when the first single book of Boys Over Flowers is released, and the Elf Publishing House has held a signing party in the headquarters."
Reiko Uemura explained.
"They're here for Ai Yazawa?" Hideki Hanyu was curious.
"That's right, Miss Yazawa is quite popular now, and I also made an appointment for the book signing, but unfortunately I didn't get the qualification."
Reiko Uemura's tone was slightly regretful.
It is clear that Reiko Uemura is also a fan of the manga of "Boys Over Flowers".
"Uemura-san wants to sign an autograph, if you go downstairs to find Yazawa another day, why do you have to make an appointment."
Hideki Hanyu is a little strange.
"It's different, I'm worried that there are too few reservations, and the signing will be embarrassing if it is too deserted, but now it seems that I am too worried."
Reiko Uemura looked pleased.
Hanyu Hideki can see that Reiko Uemura is not just an ordinary manga fan, but also a die-hard fan.
I learned from the media that the cartoons of "Boys Over Flowers" are very popular with women.
But the news reports alone do not reveal the specific situation.
Now I see the girl who is blocked at the signing party, plus the village who looks like a die-hard fan.
Hideki Hanyu finally understood that there was popularity.
Bang Bang –
There was a knock at the door.
Hanyu Hideki looked up and found that while he was talking to Reiko Uemura, Eri Kitahara was already standing outside the door at some point.
"Hanyu-sensei, I'll go out first."
Seeing that Eri Kitahara had arrived, Reiko Uemura knew that the two had something to talk about, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"I thought Kitahara-san would come after a while."
Hideki Hanyu said to Eri Kitahara, who was sitting across from him.
"Hanyu-san made a surprise attack at noon, so of course I have to hurry up and ask what happened."
After saying that, Eri Kitahara stretched his waist, his mental state did not look good, and his expression was obviously tired.
"It seems that Kitahara-san has been very busy lately." Hideki Hanyu said.
"It's not very busy, it's very busy, a lot of things are gathered together, can you not be busy?"
After Eri Kitahara finished speaking, he began to explain to Hideki Hanyu one by one.
"When I was in Amerika, Hanyu-san asked me to go back to Tokyo and talk to Toshiba about cooperating with the establishment of a research institute, and now we meet once or twice a week."
Hearing that it was about flash memory research and development, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly asked, "How's it going?" ”
"It's going well, but Toshiba's conditions are tough."
"On what terms?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"First of all, all the investment is borne by us, but only 40% of the shares of the institute can be given to us.
If Mr. Masaoka wants to transfer several of the pre-patents that he has already completed to the new research institute, we will need to pay Toshiba a transfer fee of 6 billion yuan.
The most important thing is that we cannot interfere in the research direction of the institute, and it is all up to Toshiba to decide. ”
When Eri Kitahara said this, he spread his hands with a ridiculous face.
"Under this condition, we will have to pay not only for the future research costs of the institute, but also for the previous research costs.
Let's not talk about whether those patents are worth six billion, according to the equity distribution, it is clear that Toshiba is the major shareholder, but the purchase of patents only makes us pay money.
And we spent nearly 10 billion, and in the end we couldn't control the direction of research.
In other words, even if Toshiba repents not supporting Mr. Makuoka's research line and turns to other technologies, we have no right to oppose it. ”
After listening to Eri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu felt that Toshiba's abacus beads could be heard on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
If he did agree to such a condition, he would have expected it without guessing.
When the time comes, the institute will definitely use his money, and then the developer Toshiba is interested in the technology.
As for Fujio Masaoka's flash route, the devil knows how much R&D expenses can be allocated.
Sure enough, when they were buyers, Toshiba called them "Britney".
Now that I want to cooperate, I immediately became "Mrs. Niu".
Sure enough, it is not easy to cooperate with these giants.
Think of America not yet doing anything to the neon semiconductor industry.
Toshiba's semiconductor industry is in full swing, and it is normal to look down on Genie Entertainment.
However, although the conditions are harsh, since Toshiba is willing to negotiate, it means that the conditions can be negotiated.
So he said to Eri Kitahara.
"Let's go on, it doesn't matter if we invest a little more, but Toshiba also has to pay according to the proportion of shares.
And it must be clear that we invest in research institutes for new storage technologies, and if we can't get control of the R&D direction, then there is no point in cooperating. ”
In the end, Hideki Hanyu emphasized.
"In order to ensure the interests of the partner, if any party wants to withdraw, the other shareholders have the right of first refusal to purchase the shares of the withdrawing party."
In two years at most, America will have to do something with Neon Semiconductor.
The Toshiba building was directly surrounded by people, and the executives were directly arrested.
Americalica's approach to Toshiba was exactly the same as it was against France's Alstom.
When Toshiba is having a hard time, it may be that it will get rid of the research institute that has been investing in no profits.
At that point, Hideki Hanyu doesn't mind taking it all in.
"I know, this kind of cooperation involving a huge amount of money will definitely not be negotiated in a few months, Hanyu-san don't worry."
Eri Kitahara said.
"I'm not in a hurry, even if I fail, it doesn't matter."
Hideki Hanyu said in a normal tone.
Flash memory technology has a promising future, but it comes with a lot of investment.
Of course, it's good to be able to get his hands dirty, but he won't force it if he can't.
After Eri Kitahara finished talking to Toshiba, he told Hideki Hanyu about other things.
"I asked someone from the sales department to do market research before, and the sales of Takuma Geko have entered a plateau, and they occupy the vast majority of the girl market for electronic pets.
I think it's time for Poké Balls to go on sale on Neon, and we need to preemptively occupy the boy market for electronic pets before other manufacturers launch full-fledged electronic pets. ”
Hanyu Hideki didn't expect that Eri Kitahara would think of it with him.
"It seems that Kitahara-san and I thought about it together.,Actually, I'm here this time for the sale of Poké Balls in Neon.,Fujitai ...... before"
Hideki Hanyu said that it was because of Fujitai's interview invitation.
He realizes that the time is ripe to use Poké Ball's fame in America to sell back Neon.
Then he went on to talk about some of the marketing methods he had in mind.
When Eri Kitahara heard this, she also said some of her marketing ideas about the Poké Ball's listing on Neon.
It took less than half an hour for the two people who had been prepared for a long time to work out the overall marketing framework.
As for the rest of the specific details, it needs to be filled in and perfected by the sales department.
If the two of them solve everything in every detail, then what are they doing with so many employees.
But at the end of the day, Hanyu remembered what he had learned from Kusamamura about the lag in production.
He told Eri Kitahara about his concerns about production capacity and why the subsequent version was so slow to develop.
Obviously, the main program has been designed, but it's just a new Pokémon sprite.
After listening to Eri Kitahara, he explained helplessly.
"There are two reasons why the software is not completed, the first is the lack of people, after the establishment of the Pokémon generation game development team, more than half of the programmers of electronic pets have been crossed.
Another point is that the main program of the current electronic Poké Ball has been optimized by America, and even the programmers who originally participated in the design need to communicate with America in many places.
But Hanyu-san doesn't have to worry, the follow-up version is already being tested, and it should be officially put into production this week. ”
"What about capacity? To list Poké Balls on Neon, we always need to have something to sell. Hanyu asked.
In fact, the problem of version translation is not big, but the difficulty lies in production.
"Speaking of production, I have to talk about another thing I've been busy with lately." Eri Kitahara said.
"What's the matter?"
"An electronics factory that helps us produce Tuoma Gezi suddenly delayed delivery recently, and I learned that it was because the boss of the foundry invested in futures, which not only lost all the operating funds of the factory, but also owed a large loan to the bank.
Recently, he is looking for a home everywhere, and in addition to the factory that he helps us OEM, he also wants to sell two electronics factories. ”
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he seemed to have guessed what Eri Kitahara meant.
"Kitahara-san has taken a fancy to someone's factory?"
Thank you for the tip
