Chapter 369 HSBC’s Obstruction and the Wolf Smoke Game (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

In the black-and-white video office, Chu Huan dialed Roy's phone with a gloomy expression. No wonder Chu Huan was angry. Although Wireless is the largest TV station in Xiangjiang, compared to the commercial environment of Xiangjiang, Wireless is really just a small TV station. company of.

   Now that Chu Huan wants to acquire wireless shares from HSBC, there are accidents, which naturally cannot be accepted by Chu Huan.

   "Roy, I need an explanation!"

After hearing Chu Huan's voice on the phone, Roy Bentley's face changed slightly. Since he knew Chu Huan, he had never heard Chu Huan's tone, even when Shen Bi was targeting Chu Huan before, Neither did Chu Huan.

   "A Huan, this matter is a bit complicated. If you have time, I think we can meet and talk!" Roy Bentley said on the phone.

   "Okay, I will arrive at HSBC in an hour!" After speaking, Chu Huan hung up the phone directly.

   "Brother Huan, it's just a TVB, why would HSBC not want to sell his shares to you?" Fang Jianhui also couldn't understand.

  According to Chu Huan's current size, HSBC should not make Chu Huan unhappy because of a TVB.

"I don't know, you don't need to worry about this matter. Wu Xiaoshi called and said that Nomura Securities' acquisition of Nikkatsu is coming to an end. When the time comes, you have to send a group of people to be in charge of negotiating with Wu Xiaoshi." Xiaoshi jointly took over Daily Life."

Chu Huan’s visit to Black and White Video this time is actually to talk to the room about two things. The first is about Black and White Video’s acquisition of TVB, and the second is about Black and White Video’s acquisition of Nikkatsu. Now there is an accident in the acquisition of TVB. Chu Huan Huan can only let Fang Jianhui pay attention to the second thing first.

  Fang Jianhui nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have prepared the personnel. When there is definite news from Wu Xiaoshi, I will personally lead the team to Tokyo!"

Chu Huan nodded. Although in name, Baishan Entertainment, which acquired Nikkatsu, is a company controlled by Black & White Image, there is no direct relationship between Black & White Image and Nikkor, so this time Fang Jianhui went to Japan to reach an agreement with Nikkor. A good cooperative relationship, the two sides complement each other in their respective fields!

  After a brief chat with Fang Jianhui, Chu Huan left the Tseung Kwan O studio and drove to HSBC.

After coming straight to Roy Bentley's office, Chu Huan was not polite, and asked directly: "Roy, there will be some accidents at HSBC for such a small matter, don't you really think that I, Chu Huan, are easy to bully?" ?”

  Roy Bentley had already figured out why Chu Huan was angry.

Now HSBC and Chu Huan belong to an in-depth partnership. HSBC is not only responsible for the financial transactions between Chu Huan's Hang Lung Real Estate and Huaye City, but also cooperates with a charity fund to jointly monopolize the Xiangjiang textile industry. is a director of HSBC.

  Now, there will be some accidents in the shares of a mere wireless station, so it's no wonder that Chu Huan is angry.

   "Ah Huan, forget about this matter, I'd better tell you the truth!" Roy Bentley said helplessly to Chu Huan.

Roy Bentley found Sha Ya this morning and proposed Chu Huan's idea yesterday. Sha Ya had no hesitation in selling TVB's shares, so she agreed to Roy Bentley. Who knows how long it will take? At that time, Sha Ya called Roy Bentley again, saying that HSBC did not want to sell the TVB shares in his hand to Chu Huan, and asked Roy Bentley to apologize to Chu Huan on behalf of HSBC.

   Regarding such a result, Roy Bentley naturally wanted to ask clearly, so he found Sha Ya immediately and asked about the specific situation.

  It turned out to be Shen Bi again

  As the general manager of HSBC, Shen Bi has the right to know about the sale of TVB shares.

"Mr. Taiban, the black-and-white video in Chu Huan's hands is already the largest film company in Xiangjiang. According to Chu Huan's previous business practices, if he buys TVB shares from us, then the next thing he will do is to fully If this is the case with the acquisition of TVB, Chu Huan will have the largest TV station in Xiangjiang in his hands.

Although the scale of TVB is not very large, its influence is huge. If Chu Huan acquires another large newspaper in the future, then Chu Huan will become the largest media tycoon in Xiangjiang. , will go to another level.

I am not targeting Chu Huan this time, but I want to remind you, Mr. Taiban, that Chu Huan’s reputation in Xiangjiang is already quite high at this time. If he is allowed to get TVB, it means that Chu Huan has got Xiangjiang’s propaganda throat. Is this really good for HSBC? "

Shen Bi's words made Sha Ya fall into silence. Sha Ya is not Roy Bentley. Li will also meet Chu Huan's request.

  But Sha Ya is different. He is already the top class of HSBC, so the things he considers are naturally more comprehensive.

   "However, if we all make things difficult for Chu Huan on the TVB matter, it will really affect our relationship, not to mention that Chu Huan is also a director of our HSBC!"

Seeing that Sha Ya was tempted, Shen Bi immediately said while the iron was hot: "It's simple, we can contact Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu immediately, I believe they two must not know about this matter, so as long as they know In this matter, I think I will definitely not want the company I founded to be acquired by others.

When Chu Huan asks, we can also push this matter to Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu, saying that they have already greeted us in advance, I believe Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu Definitely won't say anything! "

   Obviously Sha Ya accepted Shen Bi's suggestion, so Shen Bi immediately contacted Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu.

   Sure enough, as Shen Bi said, when Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu heard that Chu Huan actually wanted to acquire Wireless, they immediately expressed their willingness to invest in the acquisition of Wireless shares held by HSBC.

  So there is the current situation.

  Chu Huan sat there with a gloomy expression, Shen Bi really spared no effort to mess with him!

  At the same time, Sha Ya's behavior also disturbed Chu Huan a little. The other party told Roy Bentley about the conversation between him and Shen Bi, but in fact they wanted to investigate Roy Bentley.

  If Roy Bentley disregarded the interests of HSBC and told himself about the relationship between him and Shen Bi, then in Sha Ya's heart, Roy Bentley would have completely lost hope of becoming a HSBC executive.

  After trying to understand all this, Chu Huan said to Roy Bentley: "You didn't tell me about the conversation between Sha Ya and Shen Bi, and I don't know the real reason why HSBC didn't sell TVB shares to me!"

Chu Huan definitely wants to keep Roy Bentley now, because if Shen Bi really takes the position of HSBC executive in the future, then Chu Huan's life will definitely be difficult. This matter is more important than the acquisition of TVB by black and white video, At least for now.

Roy Bentley naturally understood the key point. Hearing that Chu Huan was still thinking about himself at this time, he was naturally very grateful, and immediately said: "Ah Huan, don't worry, as long as I can become HSBC in the future Taipan, then you are the closest partner of HSBC!"

  Chu Huan restrained the gloom on his face, and said with a smile: "This is natural!"

  Roy Bentley said: "Then what are you going to do now? Just give up TVB?"

   "Give up?" Chu Huan sneered, "Give up is not in my dictionary."

  Roy Bentley saw Chu Huan's appearance, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you want to do?"

  Chu Huan said: "Naturally, I will visit Shaya Taiban in person!"

  Although Chu Huan pretended not to know the real reason why HSBC did not sell TVB shares to him, it didn't mean that Chu Huan had no other reason to go to Sha Ya.

  So there was the matter of Chu Huan slamming the door of Roy Bentley's office when he left Roy Bentley's office.

  When Chu Huan came to Sha Ya's office, Sha Ya had already learned from her secretary that Chu Huan slammed the door at Roy Bentley's place.

   "Director Chu, what made you so angry?"

  Sha Ya spoke to Chu Huan with a smile on her face.

  Chu Huan said with a blank face: "Mr. Taipan, I came here today because I want to ask Mr. Taipan about something."

  Sha Ya said with a smile: "Mr. Chu is the director of our HSBC and our best friend at HSBC. If you have anything to do, just ask!"

Chu Huan said: "I want to ask, will HSBC not stop targeting me? It's like this every time. If HSBC really thinks that I, Chu Huan, am not HSBC's friend, but HSBC's enemy, Please tell me clearly, from now on, I will be able to take good control of my relationship with HSBC!"

  Sha Ya raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked with a smile: "Did Roy not explain clearly to Director Chu?"

  Chu Huan said calmly: "It has been explained clearly. It is nothing more than that before me, Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu have found HSBC in advance and want to buy the TVB shares held by HSBC."

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Sha Ya breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Roy Bentley was really deceived by lard and told Chu Huan the conversation between him and Shen Bi. No, but told Chu Huan the reason according to his own instructions.

"Mr. Chu, it's really not that our HSBC is targeting you, but you also know that Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu are very influential figures in Xiangjiang. They proposed to buy back TVB's stock, and our HSBC also There's no reason to refuse, is there?"

  Sha Ya soothed Chu Huan's emotions and preached.

Chu Huan calmly said: "Mr. Taipan, business is always about business, and now TVB's shares are in the hands of HSBC. You HSBC have rejected my acquisition proposal without even listening to my offer. If I say that HSBC is not targeting me personally, I will not believe anything!"

  About Chu Huan's purchase of TVB shares, it happened too suddenly. Although Shen Bi thought of a solution, it was always a bit rough, and there were many loopholes for Chu Huan to seize.

   Now what Chu Huan said is a loophole. Since the two parties have not yet made a deal, it is indeed inappropriate to directly reject Chu Huan.

Sha Ya paused, then laughed, and said, "Mr. Chu misunderstood. It must be that Roy didn't make it clear when he relayed my words. We at HSBC did not reject Mr. Chu, but just told Mr. Chu about this matter. If Director Chu is really interested, he can naturally bid."

  Chu Huan nodded, the anger on his face finally disappeared, and then he said: "If this is the case, there is nothing to talk about, and everyone who pays the highest will get it!"

  Sha Ya nodded slightly and said, "It's natural!"

  Then Chu Huan looked at Sha Ya, and said in a suspicious tone: "Mr. Taipan, Mr. Shen will not be the same as last time this time. He will give Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu a loan to compete with me, right?"

  Sha Ya smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course it won't happen!"

  Chu Huan finally showed a satisfied smile this time, and said to Sha Ya: "Very good, then we, Black and White Video, are willing to buy the TVB shares held by HSBC at a price 20% higher than the market valuation of TVB!"

   Isn't it just comparing banknotes?

   At this point, Chu Huan doesn't think that in Xiangjiang, there is no one else who can have more cash than himself except HSBC.

   This time Chu Huan wanted to force HSBC to make a decision.

Sha Ya smiled and said: "President Chu is still so rich and powerful, I will tell Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu about this, but since we are friends, I still hope that everyone will not be unhappy because of a business competition, how about So, the day after tomorrow, the morning of the day after tomorrow, I invite Director Chu, Li Xiaohe, and Yifu Shao to come to HSBC together, how about we discuss this matter?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes!"

   Then Chu Huan left HSBC and returned to Jiahu Building.

  Just as he was sitting in his chair, Xu Yi walked in.

   "Boss, Mr. Chen from Kyushu called just now. He arrived in Xiangjiang tonight and wants to meet you."

   "Mr. Li Xiaohe, the chairman of TVB, and Mr. Shao Yifu, the chairman of Shaw Brothers, also called before and want to meet with you this afternoon!"

   "Ma Jizu and others have also returned from Tokyo. They are accompanied by Yokoi Gunpei and Miyamoto Shigeru. Ma Jizu said that Yokoi Gunpei is the person you personally decided to bring back to Xiangjiang, the boss."

After hearing Xu Yi's report, Chu Huan immediately showed surprise on his face. He just asked Ma Jizu to invite Yokoi Junping to Xiangjiang, but he didn't expect that Ma Jizu not only invited Yokoi Junping to Xiangjiang, but also brought him A surprise Shigeru Miyamoto!

   Shigeru Miyamoto, two titles can show the person's status in the game industry.

  Gunhei Yokoi is known as the father of game-boy, while Shigeru Miyamoto is known as the father of Super Mario.

   Another title of Shigeru Miyamoto is that in later generations he was ranked first among the top ten game designers in the world judged by authoritative game magazines.

  Chu Huan never imagined that Ma Jizu would bring Shigeru Miyamoto to Xiangjiang, so without Gunpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, would Nintendo be the same Nintendo of later generations?

Chu Huan thought for a while, and said to Xu Yi: "Call back Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu, and tell me that I have time at four o'clock in the afternoon. Please invite them to the company. Now you go and send Ma Jizu and Shao Yifu together." Junpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, please come up, by the way, call Bao Tianming and ask him to come over immediately!"

  Chen Haichao must have resolved his identity issue with Chu Huan when he came back, and what Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu were talking about must have been about their acquisition of wireless.

  But among the three things Xu Yi said, what made Chu Huan most satisfied was the fact that Ma Jizu brought Yokoi Junping back.

  The game industry is a very important part of his future, and Chu Huan naturally has to take it seriously.

After a while, Xu Yi brought Ma Jizu, 34-year-old Yokoi Junping, and 23-year-old Shigeru Miyamoto in. Seeing Yokoi Junping's smiling face, Chu Huan knew that Ma Jizu must have done a good job The mission assigned made Yokoi Junping willingly follow him to Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Yokoi, Mr. Miyamoto, welcome, you two are very welcome to come to Xiangjiang and join our Wolf Smoke game!" Chu Huan was very polite to the person who could bring him super wealth, and stood up to greet the Yokoi army in person. flat.

   Although Shigeru Miyamoto will be very successful in the future, Chu Huan will definitely not give him the same treatment as Junpei Yokoi now.

   Facing Chu Huan's Lixian corporal, Yokoi Junpei was also a little flattered, and said with a smile: "Chu Sang is too polite, I am also very happy to be able to join Chu Sang's company!"

   This is a good start, and Chu Huan is more and more satisfied.

  After the two parties sat down, Junhei Yokoi asked Chu Huan: "I heard from Manager Ma earlier that the main direction of Chu Sang's game company is arcade games?"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's just that in the early stage. In the later stage, I hope that Wolf Smoke games can cover arcade games, video games, and even computer games!"

  As early as the 1950s and 1960s, computer games with invisible screens appeared, but that is not the focus of Chu Huan's attention now.

  At this time, Chu Huan focused on arcade machines and video games.

  Junhei Yokoi immediately showed an expression of interest when he heard what Chu Huan said. Home computers have not yet become popular, let alone computer games, so the most important game market is arcade games and video games.

  Yokai Junping thinks that Chu Huan's thoughts are consistent with his own.

"Mr. Yokoi, the company will hire you as the company's chief consultant, who will be responsible for the research and development of all the company's game consoles and games. The one who will come later is called Bao Tianming, who is the general manager of Wolf Smoke Games. I hope you two can cooperate happily in the future." !"

  Since Yokoi Junping has chosen to follow Ma Jizu to Xiangjiang, he naturally has no objections, especially now that Chu Huan has given him such great power.

   "I will definitely not disappoint Chu Sang!"

  Chu Huan nodded, then got up and came to his desk, took out some A4 papers from the drawer, then returned to the sofa, and handed the A4 papers in his hand to Junpei Yokoi.

   "Mr. Yokoi, this is a game I thought of in my spare time, can you see if you can make it!?"

  Junhei Yokoi didn't expect Chu Huan to have a game idea, and he began to look at the game idea that Chu Huan handed him with some curiosity and suspicion.

"Great King Kong?" Junpei Yokoi felt that the name was interesting, and couldn't help but look at it. Shigeru Miyamoto, who was next to Gunpei Yokoi, was still a little shy, but he still couldn't help but moved closer to Gunpei Yokoi to look at it. It was Chu Huan's idea.

  Chu Huan was also observing Shigeru Miyamoto.

  In fact, the developer of the Donkey Kong game is Shigeru Miyamoto, but Chu Huan, who is familiar with the game, knows that Shigeru Miyamoto has no such idea at this time.

Because when Shigeru Miyamoto received this task, the game was actually designed based on "Popeye Autobot". In the early stage, Junpei Yokoi wanted to put this game in the first game-boy GAME -WATCH, but later changed to the game "Donkey Kong" due to copyright issues.

The most important thing is that this game did not succeed on GAME-WATCH. Instead, it succeeded in the field of arcade games, but not in Japan, but in North America. Only this game was sold in North America. 60,000 units, bringing in a profit of $120 million for Nintendo.

  The price of an arcade machine is still very expensive.

   And Chu Huan also regards this game as a sharpening stone for him to open up the European and American game markets.

  Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Shigeru are both seriously looking at Chu Huan's idea. Not only is it creative, but there are also some gameplays about this game.

After a long time, Junping Yokoi put down the A4 paper in his hand, and said seriously to Chu Huan: "Chu Sang, this is a game that I don't know the future of, but what I want to say is that only this one game Creativity can prove that you, Chu Sang, know the game very well."

   Shigeru Miyamoto pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but thinking of his current identity, he finally held back.

   Ma Jizu was the first to discover Shigeru Miyamoto's situation, and then he smiled and preached to Chu Huan.

"Chairman, this Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto is about to graduate from the Kanazawa City University of Arts and Crafts in Japan this year. When Mr. Yokoi Gunpei went to this university to recruit people, he met Shigeru Miyamoto and thought that Shigeru Miyamoto He is a very creative game design talent, so when he came to Xiangjiang this time, Mr. Yokoi Gunpei specially recommended Shigeru Miyamoto to me. I thought that Wolf Smoke Games definitely needed more game talents, so I made my own decision Bring Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto!"

   There is a saying among college students who are about to graduate in Japan that if you have not received the company's admission notice before September, then you must have no chance to enter the securities industry.

  Although the securities industry is mentioned, it actually involves other industries in Japan.

  There is such a rule in Japan: before September, no company is allowed to visit the campus!

  It means that no company is allowed to go to the campus to recruit before September, but in fact this rule is meaningless for Japanese companies.

  Japanese companies will send people into major campuses to distribute leaflets in April and May.

   There is also a very exciting battle of grabbing people

Obviously, after Ma Jizu contacted Yokoi Gunpei, Yokoi Gunpei felt that Miyamoto Shigeru was a talent, and it was definitely not enough to develop games by himself, so Yokoi Gunpei proposed to Miyamoto Shigeru Also brought to Xiangjiang.

Ma Jizu naturally didn't know about Shigeru Miyamoto's future achievements, but Ma Jizu gave Yokoi Junpei full respect, and Chu Huan had told him that after Yokoi Gunpei was settled, he would dig a new one in Japan. There are many game talents, so Miyamoto Shigeru was brought along.

"Mr. Miyamoto welcomes you to join Wolf Smoke Games. The company is a very open game company and has full respect for every developer, so if you have any ideas now or in the future, you can directly tell them. general manager of the company."

   Halfway through Chu Huan's words, Bao Tianming has already arrived at Chu Huan's office. Now Bao Tianming already knows that he will be the general manager of Chu Huan Game Company.

   "Tianming, come here!"

   After Bao Tianming came over, Chu Huan introduced Bao Tianming to Junping Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto.

   Then Chu Huan continued to speak: "You can explain your ideas to Manager Bao at any time!"

   Shigeru Miyamoto's face flushed instantly, feeling infinite respect.

When I met Xinchuan Molina before, I have already said that in the Japanese workplace, seniority is very common. A newcomer like Shigeru Miyamoto will definitely be treated harshly when he joins the company, but Now Chu Huan has given Shigeru Miyamoto such great creative freedom and respect.

   How can I not be excited in my heart!

  Shigeru Miyamoto stood up immediately, bowed seriously to Chu Huan and said, "Thank you, Chairman, for your consideration. I will definitely develop the game seriously!"

  Chu Huan raised his forehead slightly, and said, "I just saw that you seemed to have something to say. Do you have any thoughts on this game?"

  Actually, Chu Huan also saw Shigeru Miyamoto just now.

  Shigeru Miyamoto was excited at this time, and immediately said: "That's right, I think this game has great potential, and I want to participate in the development of this game!"

  Yokoi Junhei knew that the idea of ​​this game was very interesting, but he was not sure whether there would be a market for this game, but Shigeru Miyamoto said that he was very optimistic about this game!

  Gunhei Yokoi glanced at Shigeru Miyamoto, and there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, but some joy. Shigeru Miyamoto was the first person he brought to Xiangjiang, so he naturally hoped that Shigeru Miyamoto could show his value.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Naturally, Mr. Miyamoto needs to join in, but now there are only two game developers in the company, so the most important thing for the next two is to establish the company's R&D team. The company will give everyone A research and development personnel is equipped with an independent personal dormitory, and the Japanese painters of "Fantasy Comics" live with you, so you can better integrate into the life of Xiangjiang. 20% more labor for R&D personnel!"

  If you want to retain talents, you must be willing to pay, and only by paying can you gain more!

  Chu Huan understood this very well!

Junpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto were naturally happier when they heard this. Junhei Yokoi was happy that the conditions of Wolf Smoke’s investment could better attract Japanese game talents for them, and Shigeru Miyamoto was purely happy to get The treatment is good!

   Then Chu Huan asked Bao Tianming to take Junhei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto to the headquarters of Wolf Smoke Games in Jiahu Building!

   But Chu Huan left Ma Jizu behind, and left Ma Jizu to do other tasks!

   Also, the next chapter is at eight in the morning~~
