Reborn Tokyo Golden Age.

Chapter 399 The Real Punishment
The meeting room in No. 1 became silent because of Shirakawa Kaede's warning, and Tanimura stood alone below, sweating profusely.

He felt that if he didn't give an explanation today, he might really not be able to pass this test.

"Bai Chuan-san,...the adjustment of the chip is more difficult than expected, and we have not been able to fix some bugs."

After holding back for a long time, Tanimura just found such a plausible excuse.

"Let's not talk about the chip in advance, what's the matter with the screen?" Bai Chuanfeng remained unmoved, staring at him firmly.

According to the plan, the new generation of handhelds adopts the latest research results of SIC, STN screen.

In theory, this kind of screen will have a qualitative improvement in all aspects compared with the previous TN screen.

Clarity, response speed, contrast, viewing angle, color, etc. will have a new experience.

But judging from how Bai Chuanfeng used it just now, he didn't see these advantages.

The flickering on the screen, as well as the logo that appears and disappears from time to time, are even worse than the most primitive TN screen.

Although the previous handhelds were crude, they were at least smooth.

What now?It's almost like a brick.

The reason why it is called a new generation of handhelds is that the first feedback to players is the improvement of the screen or picture.

But after more than a year, he didn't even do a good job in appearance, so it would be strange for Bai Chuanfeng to have a good face.

Faced with his questioning, this time Tanimura simply lowered his head and remained silent.

"Heh~" Bai Chuanfeng sneered again, but instead of continuing to ask Tanimura, he turned his attention to Yamamoto from the finance department.

"Tell me, Yamamoto-san, how much money HAL has invested in the development of the new generation of handheld devices."

Subconsciously, Yamamoto, who was named, got up and bowed to Bai Chuanfeng, and then hurriedly opened the document in his hand and began to report.

"The project was initially approved in November 1981 and officially started in March 11.

The initial development cost was estimated at 2 million yen, and after three additions during the period, the total investment as of today is 3 million yen. "

"4 million yen." Bai Chuanfeng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the people in the meeting room, "It's more than twice the original budget."

Everyone who was swept by his gaze lowered their heads silently.Especially Tanimura, the sweat dripping from his forehead.

Even Yamamoto, who was reporting the financial situation, couldn't help taking out a handkerchief and wiping his forehead.

There are cases where research and development costs exceed the budget, but more than double is not common in this era.

But this was not what made Bai Chuanfeng angry the most. This time, he still focused on Shan itself in the finance department.

"Yamamoto-san, the budget is so much over, why haven't I received any news?"

Yamamoto, who was named, was struck by lightning, and he glanced at Tanimura, whose mouth and eyes were white.Looking at the expressionless Bai Chuanfeng again, he explained tremblingly.

"Bai... Bai Chuan-san, I have reported the relevant financial situation to Tanimura-san."

Tanimura is the president of HAL, and the finance department is naturally under his jurisdiction.

With the growth of business in recent years, HAL's book capital is also very considerable.

Although Tanimura didn't have the power to fully use it, he still had ways to do part of it.

"What about the audit team, why didn't they receive the relevant report beforehand?"

In order to prevent favoritism and fraud within the club, Baichuan Holdings also has an external audit team.

In addition to the routine annual inventory, it has another duty.

That is, if the subsidiary has any large expenditures outside the plan, it needs to actively report to the audit team for filing.

The next step can only be performed after the review and approval is obtained.

But now there is no relevant record in the audit team, and the research and development funds have inexplicably increased by more than three times.

Faced with Bai Chuanfeng's questioning, Yamamoto's body trembled visibly with the naked eye.

He opened his mouth stammeringly, but he trembled for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

Bai Chuanfeng didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so he turned his head and confessed to his assistant.

"Oda, go and check the memos of the last two years to see if any similar reports have been brought to me.

In addition, let the audit team come in and verify the use of R&D funds on the spot. "

This time Bai Chuanfeng came to HAL not alone, he also brought the audit team here, they are waiting outside now.

In addition, to make them give up, and to let everyone see it more clearly.

Bai Chuanfeng directly pulled out the report records of the past two years to see if HAL had explained the funds.

Hearing that Bai Chuanfeng wanted to check the accounts on the spot, let alone Tancun.Yamamoto's body trembled at first, and he collapsed limply on the chair.

However, none of this could make Bai Chuanfeng change his mind, but 2 minutes outside, a team of staff Sang in suits and leather shoes walked in.

At the same time, Oda also held a document and put it on the conference table.

In this way, Oda is responsible for the retrospective memo, and the audit team is responsible for checking the accounts.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, and the conference room was filled with rustling sounds of flipping through documents.

As for the others, Tanimura and Yamamoto will not talk about it for now.Even Satoru Iwata and Daiji Yamashita felt their scalps tingling.

The heads of several development teams felt even more parched.

Although he knew that all of this had nothing to do with them, the uneasiness in his heart still lingered in his heart.

Checking accounts in person, this is almost like a public execution.

And looking at the expressions of Tanimura and Yamamoto, you can tell that things are definitely not that simple.

Because it was a directional audit, the whole process took less than an hour to begin to take shape.

In fact, Bai Chuanfeng had already obtained a rough report beforehand.

What I'm doing now is just to make a more detailed confirmation based on the bill from HAL.

"Bai Chuan-san, please take a look." Oda respectfully handed the final data to Bai Chuan Feng.

After taking the report and glanced at it, Bai Chuanfeng's eyes became a little colder.

"Tanimura-san, Sanben-san, there are several questions about reimbursement in the bill, can you explain?"

As he spoke, Bai Chuanfeng began to read the bill without waiting for their reaction.

"In September 82, from Akihabara to Roppongi, the taxi fare was 9 million yen. The purpose of the trip was business.

Also in September, Roppongi's official business entertainment expenses were 9 million yen.

In December 82, the office replaced potted plants, 12 million yen. ..."

"Boom!" The dull voice echoed in the conference room, and everyone was shocked.

Quietly raising his eyes to take a look, Bai Chuanfeng was staring at Tanimura Masahin angrily.

He slapped his palm on the table, pressing down the half-read bill.

"Punishment, real punishment!" Bai Chuanfeng had never been so angry like today.

"For a distance of less than 9 kilometers, the taxi fare was 300 million yen. A reception cost 1200 million yen.

In the cold winter months of December, we went to replace 12 million potted plants.

What's even more powerful is that this kind of reimbursement is more than one sum.

In the report to the audit team, there is no mention of these reimbursements.

A simple "research and development expenditure" was taken lightly.

Are you insulting my IQ? ! "The last sentence of Bai Chuanfeng's questioning sound shook everyone's eardrums.

"Kangdang" Yamamoto, who had just collapsed on the chair, fell to the ground without sitting still.

As the president, Tanimura also looked pale and crumbling.

Seeing their ugliness, Bai Chuanfeng was even more angry in his heart.

I was so brave when I filled out the reimbursement, but now I am so timid.

"The others go out first, while Tanimura and Yamamoto stay." The light in Bai Chuanfeng's eyes fluctuated, and his voice remained even.

But the more so, the more fearful everyone felt.

Those who have nothing to do with this matter can't wait to leave meeting room 1 immediately.

The first time they saw Bai Chuanfeng furious, it was no surprise that they left a considerable shadow in their hearts.

But when they left the meeting room, everyone looked at Tanimura and Yamamoto with hatred.

There is a problem with the funds of hundreds of millions of yen, and the greed is too ruthless.

How much is their monthly salary, and the highest one does not exceed 50 yen.

Compared with the amount in the bill just now, this amount is just a drop in the bucket.

And after this incident, HAL's annuity must be greatly reduced this year.

As the big boss, Bai Chuan-san will no longer have a good impression of HAL.

Whether the latter matter will affect everyone's promotion and salary increase is unknown, all of which are related to the vital interests of everyone.

It's strange that they can have a good look at Tanimura and Yamamoto, the culprits.

After everyone left the conference room in silence, Bai Chuanfeng focused his attention on the two of them again.

"The matter has come to this point, let's talk about it. If there is anything to hide, I don't mind letting the Metropolitan Police Department come to communicate with the two of you."

"Plop!" As soon as Bai Chuanfeng finished speaking, Yamamoto fell to his knees and walked all the way in front of him.

"Bai Chuan-san, it's none of my business. It's all Tanimura, yes! It's all him!"

While crying with snot and tears, Yamamoto pointed at Tanimura who was still standing aside with trembling fingers.

"It's all Tanimura's request. He is the president and I have to listen, Shirakawa-san~"

Bai Chuanfeng glanced at the latter, and Tanimura remained silent, as if he had no intention of rebutting at all.

"Except for reimbursement expenses of nearly [-] million yen, are the expenses of other accounts all right?"

Bai Chuanfeng's eyes became unpredictable, as if he was warning Yamamoto.

You only have one chance to answer, don't say I didn't give it to you.

Yamamoto swallowed, gritted his teeth for the last time, and smashed the jar directly.

"For 4.3 million R&D expenses, [-] million was reimbursed in the accounts, and [-] million was invested in real R&D.

The rest..." Yamamoto paused, "The rest are in the stock market. "

"Stock market?!" Bai Chuanfeng couldn't believe his ears.

I spent so much money to let you develop a new generation of handhelds.

It turned out to be a good thing, and you actually used my money to speculate in stocks?
"Ha~" Bai Chuanfeng sneered, "I can't tell, the two of you are actually good at managing money."

"How about it, did you make money in stocks?"

"Bai Chuan-san~" Yamamoto knelt on the ground, looking at him with a pleading face.

"I'll talk about your business later, go out now and explain all the details of the accounts honestly to the audit team.

Remember, if anything is left out, it's not me again. "

"Hay! Hay!" After kowtowing, Yamamoto scrambled out of the meeting room.

After returning to the quiet meeting room again, Bai Chuanfeng looked at Tancun with admiration.

"Tanimura, it's been three years since the establishment of HAL, right?"
