Please make money.

In other words, they don't have any superiors or seniority system above them, just Alia, the big boss.

If anyone dares to make things difficult for them, how can it be heard by the gods?

"The first step is to set up a formal studio framework. Of course, a joint-stock company is also possible. For example, the GF magazine fanzine organization can be reorganized into a joint-stock company."

The young lady called a group of people over, led by a tall man with a tired look.

If anyone from the Takeuchi Group was here, wouldn't they recognize that this wasn't the justice executor Kawagen Ichiro who always wore a windbreaker?

Now Kawagen Ichiro has changed into a professional suit. The well-fitting suit combined with his revamped look makes him look like a thug in a suit.

"Miss Chen."

"Minister Kawahara - these three are the talented people that the young lady has placed on the 22nd floor."

The young lady turned back and said, "This is Mr. Kawagen Ichiro, the head of the local legal department of the Ai Group, working on the 21st floor."

Xiaodao pushed his glasses up subconsciously and looked down at his feet: "Is the area below also a rented office area?"

"If you want to change your position, then you probably can't do that. Everything below is within the scope of the Ministry of Justice's needs."

Given that there is an office area of ​​2650 square meters, how many workstations can it accommodate?

The answer is I don’t know—because the number of places that Alia gave to Kawagen Ichiro was one thousand.

If there is not enough land, you can just rent more. But you cannot be short of people, and they must be capable of fighting.

Elite? We're going to fight the fucking elite!

With these one thousand people plus the two thousand people in the legal department of the Ai Group headquarters, one can imagine the legal force that can be mobilized.

With such a legal department in hand, Alia even dares to attack Nanshan Pizza Hut now...

And this does not include the need to reorganize and expand the intellectual property team in the future. Alia estimates that three hundred to five hundred talents will be needed.

After all, if the Dongjiao Research Institute and the Dongjiao Screen Industrial Park are both put into production, the Ai Group will probably have four-digit new patent application approvals every year.

Well, when the time comes, we have to go out and look for trouble. Will we have to fight with all the major sects in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres?

With the will to fight for his whole life, Kawagen Ichiro is now burning with not only his fighting spirit, but also his lifelong beliefs and even his life!

Alia also wrote a piece of calligraphy "A Suspended Life" for him, which is now hanging in his new office.

After all, the original way of writing "一生榮命" should be "所榮命", which means that the medieval warriors fought to the death to defend the territory passed down by their ancestors and devoted their entire lives to one thing.

However, when it was extended in later generations, the short sound "しょ" pronounced as "所" was passed down to the long sound "しょう" pronounced as "生".

Kawagen Ichiro was deeply moved, and especially liked Alia's explanation of the calligraphy.

As a human being, there are always things that you must do in your lifetime.

In order to achieve such a big goal, that person must do his best to do what he has to do now where he is!

A life on the line! That's how I think about it!

Although it is said that the source of these words is a teacher named Yade Meng, whose identity does not quite fit the pattern of this grand narrative, but what does it matter?

Ichiro Kawagen must now try his best to do what he has to do now, which is to kill Consortium B!

Ah, no—not yet—it’s about helping these three talented people to establish their own studios or companies.

Then recruit more people and prepare to eliminate Consortium B, which is likely to have a dispute with the Ai Group because of Tamagotchi!

Shigeru Miyamoto and Ichiro Kawamoto exchanged business cards: "I have read this proposal and I choose to set up a studio. Is that okay?"

"of course can."

"As for the procedure..."

"We will arrange for someone to take care of it." Kawagen Ichiro nodded: "We will also complete the labor contracts and social security issues of the relevant personnel."

Hideo Kojima also chose a studio, and Ichiro Kawagen said that it was okay, and if he needed help, he just had to come to the first floor and say hello, and someone would come to help.

Satoshi Tajiri is not planning to set up a studio, but instead plans to set up a joint-stock company called GF, and convert the magazine into a game production company.

Kawagen Ichiro was very serious about this: "The equity structure must be clear, please understand this aspect——"

"Ah, of course." Satoshi Tajiri didn't know the seriousness of the matter, or how serious Alia was.

The decline of GF in later generations was largely related to its chaotic copyright and equity structure.

When Pokémon was popular all over the world, Hiroshi Yamauchi personally stepped in to mediate between various forces and started negotiations with Satoshi Tajiri, intending to directly acquire GameFreak.

Faced with the pressure from Nintendo and the foundation of their cooperation over the years, Satoshi Tajiri naturally did not want to become enemies with him.

But by then he had already achieved success and had no intention of giving up his autonomy.

Therefore, after weighing various factors, Satoshi Tajiri finally decided to join forces with Hiroshi Yamauchi, his partner Tsunekazu Ishihara and GF to establish a subsidiary again.

This company is called The Pokemon Company, in which each of the three parties holds a certain amount of shares, and is responsible for the distribution of Pokemon games.

For GameFreak at the time, although the work was published by the new company, the copyright and development rights of "Pokemon" were still in its own hands.

In this way, he was able to gain all kinds of support from his boss without losing his own autonomy. It was a happy ending for everyone.

But the problem is that things always change. When there is a crisis of trust among the three parties and there is no clear structure of who is in charge, problems arise.

Hiroshi Yamauchi used the secret technique "The Power of Capital" to reorganize ThePokemonCompany, breaking the earlier three-way balance of power.

Not only that, Shogakukan, TV Tokyo, and JEKI East Planning were introduced as new shareholders.

As a result, Nintendo's stake in The Pokemon Company has apparently dropped to 30.1%, making it look weaker.

But in fact, the shares of the other two companies were also diluted, and there was help from Ishihara Tsunekazu, a guy who was suspected to be a traitor.

The creator Satoshi Tajiri's equity control over GameFreak was rapidly weakened, which in turn increased Yamauchi Hiroshi's voice.

This is exactly the same idea as Alia's idea that "as long as there are more shareholders, there will naturally be more shareholders supporting me."

What's the point of having two votes from three people? If you want to play, just go for the big one. Thirty people and only twenty votes, isn't that why I win?

After several consecutive turmoil, although the development rights were still retained by GameFreak, they were all empty.

The actual operational decision-making power of the Pokémon IP is now in the hands of Nintendo, and Satoshi Tajiri has quietly left.

So it would be a bit unreasonable to say that the current bad state of the game has nothing to do with Nintendo.

Moreover, it was Shigeru Miyamoto's idea to release each Pokémon game in two versions - and behind Shigeru Miyamoto is Nintendo!

But now, everyone is in Ai's hands, so it's hard to say...

"Did the young lady talk to you about the ownership and profit sharing after the creation?"

"Not yet, we didn't even know - um, didn't know it would be so formal today..."

Who has ever seen a boss who comes to work empty-handed, then on the first day tells you that this office building is allocated to you, and he gives you the money and the people and you just have to work?

To be honest, if they didn't know that Alia was wealthy and even treated Yamauchi Hiroshi with courtesy, they would have really thought that this was a scam.

"Then there are two plans now." Kawagen Ichiro did not hesitate and took a few people to his office downstairs to discuss in detail.

When they got to the office, he took out two different contracts and handed them together.

"These two contracts represent two plans. The first is a 20% profit share. The group will be responsible for all your R&D, operation, and promotion costs, as well as the daily operations, financial expenses, and taxation of your studio and company. On this basis, after your work is sold, you will have a 15% profit share of the net profit after deducting these costs."

The three of them exchanged glances and looked at the second one.

"The second one is 50%. However, in this contract, the group will not be responsible for your operating costs. We will only help you build your own team and provide you with orders as Party A. We can also provide you with services such as daily management, taxation, and legal services at cost price. After your works are sold, 50% of the net profit will belong to you."

There are two agreements. One is similar to keeping a sponsor, where you don’t have to worry about anything and just need to focus on creation, just like a hands-off boss and wait for the 15% profit.

The second one is more suitable for those who are ambitious. They can lean on a big tree for shade and expand with the help of the power of the Ai Group.

Shigeru Miyamoto chose the first one without hesitation. For him, enough money was enough. He positioned himself as Alia's subordinate.

Now that he was setting up a studio, he felt that this was the work that Alia had assigned to him, rather than letting him figure it out on his own.

Kojima Hideo hesitated for a moment and asked Kawagen Ichiro: "If I choose the first contract, then the group will be responsible for paying everyone's salary, right?"

"Yes, and up to 10% of the profits will be used as employee performance. This 10% comes from the eldest lady's share and does not involve your 20% dividend."

Ichiro Kawagen didn't say anything definite, he said it was a maximum of 10%, which is like a language trap for a salary of 4 to 6 thousand, leaving room for maneuver.

But who is Alia?

She has a pot of chicken soup, so maybe she would eat the chicken leg first to see if it tastes good, but she would never leave only some soup residue for everyone and ask everyone to eat the meat.

Hideo Kojima is more concerned about how much monthly salary he could get if the group paid his salary.

The young lady watching nearby took out a pay slip and said, "After your work comes out, it will be adjusted, but for now, it is based on an annual salary of 5 million yen, which is based on the employment salary level of Tokyo University graduates."

Five million yen, that comes out to a little over twenty thousand national dollars per month.

This is a very good starting salary for new entrants to the workplace here.

You should know that at the golden working age of 30, the average salary of graduates from the top ten prestigious universities is only 600 to 700 million yen.

Hideo Kojima chose the first agreement without hesitation - he was extremely short of money right now!

If he wasn't so short of money that he could hardly make ends meet, he wouldn't have run around applying for a job and then been picked up by Alia.

Maybe Alia can publish a light novel in the future, titled "Going Out Shopping, Picking Up a Game Producer". I wonder if it will sell well.

Seeing that the other two had chosen the first contract, Satoshi Tajiri became more hesitant.

Kawagen Ichiro's eyes flashed, but he didn't sit down. Instead, he leaned on the table, folded his arms and looked down at him.

"Tajiri-kun, are you thinking of signing a second contract?"

Tajiri Satoshi subconsciously raised his head and looked at the tall shadow of the other person in front of him. He said in his throat, "Ah... I'm thinking about it..."

"Tajiri-kun, I don't know much about your past, but why not listen to my analysis."

"Please advise!"

"Tajiri-kun, do you think your company will be able to make money and grow?"

"This - it's not a joint stock company yet..."

"No, the young lady's kindness is unparalleled in the world. Since she promised to help you form your own teams, she will definitely do it. This promise is not based on how much benefit you can bring to her, but because she values ​​your talents - just like Miyamoto-kun and Kojima-kun."

Shigeru Miyamoto nodded repeatedly. What abilities did he have?

What caught the other person's attention was probably the fabric elephant and my view that games should bring happiness.

Hideo Kojima also nodded subconsciously. He felt that Alia really approved of his philosophy about the game.

The other party even suggested that the character should be named "Thunder", which coincided with his own idea that the protagonist should be handsome and fierce.

No matter who looks at Alia's current performance, or even looking back in the future, it is all purely out of appreciation for talent, without any utilitarianism.

Tajiri Satoshi pursed his lips and fell into deep thought, subconsciously thinking of the game he had been thinking about before, "about catching bugs and exchanging them."

No, it wasn't even a game yet, just an idea, a vague outline.

But it was like the whispering of fate, always echoing in my mind, making me want to create it.

"If Tajiri-kun already feels that his company is 100% profitable, then there is actually no need to sign a second contract."

Ichiro Kawagen looked down at him and said, "You can expand your recruitment yourself, and use the method of pulling a rabbit out of a hat to get the resources from the young lady to upgrade the doujinshi organization to a joint-stock company. If GF Corporation has better development in the future, why should it give up 50% of the profits? This is what I think."

Tajiri Satoshi sighed: "I did imagine this..."

"But obviously, any business has risks. Tajiri-kun understands that, right? No one will have smooth sailing, and any career is no exception."

Tajiri Satoshi nodded. He had only founded a doujinshi organization with a studio-like structure, but he had encountered many tiring problems.

If he really established a joint-stock company and managed and operated it entirely by himself, he really had no idea what the future development would be like.

"If Tajiri-kun is only thinking about the distribution of profits, shouldn't he think about how much you need to spend if you lose money?"

Kawagen Ichiro pointed at the ceiling and said, "The young lady hopes that you can use your talents without worries. The monthly rent of this three-story office building is close to 100 million yen. If Tajiri-kun has to bear such a loss by himself, can he afford it?"

“…I don’t dare to hope that if I start my own business, I will have such a good environment.”

"So isn't your goal in starting a business to be able to move to such a good environment in the future?"

"this--"

"If you think that the eldest lady will take away more of your interests in the future, so you chose a more conservative plan, then it is indeed understandable, but have you ever thought that such an agreement will not be the only one? The future expansion and development of GF Corporation should not be limited to this time. Next time, and the next time, how much share can Tajiri-kun take out and how much support can he get? Will the support he gets in that way really be as great as it is now?"

After saying that, Kawagen Ichiro sat down, his tone softened, and he looked at Tajiri Satoshi at eye level.

"Tajiri-kun, the young lady has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to save the entire gaming industry. A great person like her wants to accomplish a hegemony that will devour the world, and she will not just stay where she started. You may never be able to touch the boundaries of her starting point in your entire life. This is very difficult to accept, but it is a fact that cannot be denied. The young lady's wealth, if converted into the largest denomination banknotes in their country, can fill up this office building. What do you think you can bring to her?"

How much benefit do you expect to bring to a super-rich daughter with a net worth of 4 trillion yen? Millions? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions?

Don’t say that you paid the cost of time, effort and ingenuity - you have to spend time typing on the keyboard at work, who can make money by lying down?
