Please make money.

Mr. Lei, please take that piece of paper back. Don’t let Mr. Ren’s people see it.

"When the young lady said she was interested in the gaming industry, we had already done some research on the subject."

Aunt Zhou suddenly realized that it was not the eldest lady, but you, Prime Minister Lei.

Ning just says that the eldest lady is being willful again, but secretly he works hard and takes care of everything to pamper her, right?

"Using a sum of money, like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, to lure the entire gaming industry into taking action, this is actually a very cost-effective deal."

Mr. Lei’s worst plan is to lose all 10 billion yen and make an unprecedented big advertisement.

Establishing business credibility is a difficult thing, so difficult that even spending money may not necessarily make the difference. Being taken advantage of and being trustworthy are two different things.

If the Ai Group loses the 10 billion yen but still fulfills its promise, it will receive at least two labels.

The first is "rich". After all, 10 billion yen is real money, even if it is converted into national dollars, it is still several hundred million. You can take it at any time without any pressure.

The second one is "integrity". The gambling agreement is different from a regular business contract. Mr. Lei has at least nine ways to control Mr. Ren.

He can even require investors to have a series of major special rights such as the right of tag-along sale, the right of repurchase, the right of priority liquidation, and the right of veto on major matters.

But he won't do that. On the contrary, he will make the terms of the agreement very lenient, instead of strangling Ren's neck like a noose.

They would not deny their debts even if they lost 10 billion yen. After this matter is recognized by the public, the Ai Group can basically negotiate smaller deals directly with their face.

As for larger cooperation projects, the other party may also consider the actual performance capabilities and business reputation of the Ai Group during negotiations.

However, this worst-case scenario does not seem easy to achieve.

When Mr. Lei conducted an in-depth study of the recession in the gaming industry, he discovered a lot of interesting things.

Manufacturers, copyrights, markets...all these things have formed a dormant network whose potential value is difficult to estimate.

These clues even gave him the illusion that Alia could "foresee the future" - even if it was just the future of the market in a region.

Unlike the era in China where the trend of smartphones has already begun, the notebook market and overseas markets give people a subtle sense of time dislocation.

This sense of time dislocation means information asymmetry, which means the Tian Ji horse race in the sales market is a potential benefit that can be strived for.

Analysis of industry trends often requires massive amounts of data support and cross-verification from different aspects, but even this cannot ensure complete accuracy.

But there is a type of person who is the opposite. They can see opportunities in details, and their intuition is more direct than technology.

Such people are often business tycoons who are at the peak of their careers. They are the leaders of their industries, or at least the leaders of their generation.

The former land king Huo was one of them, and so was Alia’s father Ai Rulong.

Now, Alia seems to be a...

In Mr. Lei's assessment, Ai Group's foray into the gaming industry this time will at least not result in losses.

Not making a loss means that the layout is profitable, and the dominance of an entire manufacturer alliance means such subsequent benefits, which goes without saying.

Aunt Zhou doesn’t understand these investments or not, she just feels a little bit sorry for the money.

Now that I heard that Nintendo didn't make a lot of money, I felt relieved - who wouldn't be upset to see others making a lot of money from their own company?

Since Mr. Lei said that this investment is a carrot, then let’s just treat Mr. Ren as the donkey on the hook.

No matter how much you care about food, can you really argue with a donkey?

In her sight, poor Yamauchi Hiroshi now had his two long ears pricked up like a donkey galloping around attracted by a hanging carrot.

But if you think about it this way, Alia has a bit of the mysterious aura of a young genius.

Investment style is like the horns of an antelope, leaving no trace, but able to foresee future industry trends?

If we can really get the expected returns, wouldn’t it be even more amazing than what the eldest brother and sister did back then?

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Alia simply bought whatever she liked without any scruples.

"Oh, so your magazine is quite interesting - how do you sell it?"

Alia was flipping through a magazine. It was very thin, only about twenty pages, and she was reading it with great interest.

The person who was talking to Alia seemed to be not good at speaking and was very introverted. Aunt Zhou looked at the name of the booth and had no impression of it at all.

GameFreak? She looked at the booth carefully. It seemed to be a game magazine manufacturer's booth?

So this trade fair is quite magical, it brings together everything to create a hodgepodge...

"A single magazine has 28 pages each and costs 300 yen."

The very introverted salesperson at the booth said this, feeling a little uncomfortable facing the huge crowd.

Aunt Zhou felt that this person might have some social psychological illness and was not suitable to be here in any way.

Alia put down the magazine. "I saw some cute little animal drawings in your magazine. What are they? Are they some new characters?"

"Ah, that's... that's just a whim of mine... some anime-style insects..."

The young man said this and handed over a magazine: "Excuse me, would you like to buy one?"

"No, no, no, not one copy." Alia shook her head repeatedly: "Pack up your magazine as well. I want to buy you out."

"Ah... ah?"

"You can still come in for the operations, I'm just very interested in your style, I like it very much, so I want to support you to become bigger and better."

"???"

Satoshi Tajiri was a little confused when he was told that he would spend money to buy the entire game magazine club, while others looked at him with envy.

"Those insect designs of yours are really very Sbarasi - we can talk about that later."

Alia shook hands with the other party. "Besides, I haven't asked your name yet."

"My name is Tajiri Satoshi..."

"Really? I haven't heard of him. My name is Alia. Nice to meet you. Also, do you know someone named Satoshi?"

"Satoshi? Chi?"

Mumbling the same syllable as his own name, Tajiri Satoshi shook his head: "I am the only one I know with the name 'Satoshi'."

"Oh, that's a shame, but it doesn't matter, everything will be fine..."

Aunt Zhou sighed in the crowd and said, "Okay, maybe I was overthinking it."

No matter how elusive the young lady is, she seems to be simply looking for the joy of shopping.

It's impossible that she can just invest in someone now and expect the other person to bring her billions of dollars in profits later, right?

Ha ha……

……

……

"Everyone, I'm sorry to invite you here in such a hurry."

Mr. Lei's confidant, Jiang Wei, who was believed by Alia to be the same type as Jiang Wei, stood up and shook hands with the representatives of the manufacturers who rushed over in a hurry.

People from Consortium B were also among them, and they were a little confused - we agreed to test each other out, so why didn't you test my copyright library, but instead set your eyes on the new toys?

"There are still two hours until our eldest lady's scheduled departure time."

Jiang Wei looked at his watch, then took out an alarm clock and set a two-hour countdown.

Everyone watched the thing clicking away, like a time bomb.

"Then let's talk about them one by one... First, Tenri Screen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Is your company a subsidiary of Sharp's R&D center?"

In its early years, Sharp transformed into a comprehensive electronics company, established a comprehensive development center in Tenri, and changed the company name to Sharp Corporation.

At that time, their purpose of building a comprehensive development center was to promote LSI production, cutting-edge technology research, and talent training.

The official production of LED and the development of liquid crystal are also the achievements of this period.

This thing is a bit like the Dongjiao Research Institute that the Ai Group is currently investing in, and a subsidiary that will be set up after the industry flourishes.

A few years ago, Sharp's Makuhari Building was completed in Makuhari New City, Chiba Prefecture. Sharp became the talk of the town and its many subsidiaries also began to expand.

Tenri Screen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is such a product of a certain stage. With the development of information equipment such as personal computers in recent years, the TFT LCD business has truly grown, and the application of LCD products has continued to expand, and everyone feels that it is profitable.

But the problem is that 'everyone thinks' that when everyone enters the market, the final output will be excessive.

The same is true for pig farming. When the price of meat is low, no one raises pigs, and the number of pigs slaughtered decreases, leading to supply exceeding demand and higher meat prices.

When the price of meat goes up, everyone thinks raising pigs is profitable, so they all start raising pigs. When the time for slaughtering pigs comes, the market is full of pigs.

What can we do when there is oversupply? Lower the price!

Someone may ask, why don’t we wait until the price of meat is low to raise pigs, and then sell them when the price of meat is high?

This is a very good question - why not invest in stocks, buy when the stock price is low and sell when the stock price is high?

If you can really perfectly predict the highs and lows of an industry, you should become a stock god instead of wielding a shovel and trying to pan for gold...

Sharp simply does not have this ability, resulting in a number of its subsidiaries now struggling to survive and not knowing what to do.

New technologies are still being developed and production lines are still running, but if you want to ship products, you have to have the ability to get people to buy them!

Selling screens, selling screens, look at the cheap screens - it’s so funny, there is no demand in the industry at all.

Now the Ai Group has suddenly announced that it wants to acquire Tenri Screen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and offered a high price of 20% premium, which makes people tremble.

A sucker fell from the sky? What kind of trick is this?

The executives of Tenri Screen Co., Ltd. were puzzled and asked questions, and finally came to a conclusion that made people laugh and cry.

It turned out that it was because a relative of a researcher in his company was the other party's neighbor...

Is this the willfulness of a super rich daughter?

It’s the kind of plot you’d see in an urban drama, with the behavior of a domineering CEO—oh, the genders are reversed—a domineering young lady.

But what does this have to do with us?

They've made an offer! Real cash! Knife music!

Let's talk about whether to sell or not...

The executive was in a dilemma: "Two hours is a task that cannot be completed anyway."

"Really?" Jiang Wei smiled. "Forget it if it can't be completed. The price is this much. If we can't sign the contract in two hours, then we don't have to buy it."

Yeah? Shouldn't I add more money at this time?

Could it really be a spur of the moment action, two hours?

Jiang Wei smiled sincerely, even looking a little relieved, and shook hands with the two: "I sincerely hope that we can cooperate next time."

The executives were unhappy. They looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on.

The executives of the Ai Group were not willing to accept the young lady's random order. The two hours were more of an excuse than a embarrassment to them.

If they fail to complete it, the other party can feel at ease telling the domineering and willful eldest lady that it is not their problem.

It's Tenri Screen Co., Ltd.'s problem - they don't want to sell! They have no sincerity!

The two executives did not dare to act on their own initiative, and immediately stood up, apologized and left the table, preparing to greet their superiors and find out what was going on.

Jiang Wei watched their backs and sneered in his heart.

Is two hours enough? That depends on how much money you pay.

With a market valuation of 120%, who is begging whom for such a huge cash-out to replace the debt assets that are hindering development?

Jiang Wei shook the documents in his hand and continued to show that gentle and kind expression as he looked at his old friend, Consortium B, in the past few days.

"We all know each other well, so let's not reminisce about the past - let's talk about this project called Tamagotchi."

The head of Consortium B pursed his lips and was a little reluctant to ask for a price: "This is just a small development team, not a mature market project."

That is to say, people are not buying a dish, but are passing by and see that the onions you are preparing for cooking are of good quality, so they want to buy two.

How to sell it? How much do you want to pay for it?

How about we talk about our merger? You can add 100 billion yen and a little more, and we will sell our entire consortium B to you.

Jiang Wei took out a piece of paper that was warm from the printer and said, "800 million yen. We will buy the copyright and the development team. You will arrange the transfer of the personnel."

Jiang Wei said with a look of anticipation: "This should be difficult to complete, right? Two hours."

...No, what kind of traitor are you?

Your boss spent tens of billions of yen to buy a company, and you think it is a waste, which is understandable. It is because of your loyalty.
