Chapter 102: Strange things happen every year, especially this year! (Seeking subscriptions)
VTech was targeted by someone!
The one targeting VTech was Nintendo, the hegemon of home game consoles in Japan.
The reason was simple: the *A Better Tomorrow* arcade developed by VTech could steadily suppress the *Contra* arcade that was already popular throughout Asia in the Hong Kong and Macau markets.
This was quite remarkable!
Nintendo obviously didn't want a powerful game production company to appear in Hong Kong.
After a simple investigation, they started the acquisition mode.
At this time, Japan was rich and powerful, claiming to buy the entire American father.
It was exactly the time when the fire was cooking oil and money was not treated as money, and the acquisition price was 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
For VTech, which had only been imitating home game consoles before, this was absolutely a very exciting good thing.
That's right, the company boss and manager both thought this was absolutely a great thing.
If Wu Feng hadn't suddenly come to place an order, they might have already started acquisition negotiations with Nintendo, and they would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Wu Feng was unhappy in his heart, but didn't show it.
He just reminded: "Finish the order in my hand first!"
"If we succeed again with the help of the movie's popularity, VTech's valuation can at least increase by 50% or even double, and I have quite a lot of confidence!"
"Is that so? Then let's gamble!"
The boss of VTech slapped the table hard and made up his mind.
Still the same sentence, Wu Feng had already succeeded once, and the possibility of succeeding again using the same model was extremely high.
You know, VTech made nearly 20 million in profit from the *A Better Tomorrow* arcade alone.
And as time goes by, it can earn another astonishing profit of tens of millions!
Looking at the whole of Hong Kong, listed companies with such profitability were also quite famous. As for those companies specifically listed to raise money, they couldn't compare with VTech.
After discussing properly, Wu Feng went to find the technical director of VTech.
"Boss Huang, I heard that the company has agreed to Nintendo's acquisition!"
While discussing the plot and content settings of the two arcade games *Project A* and *Police Story* with the technical director, he inadvertently brought up the matter of VTech.
VTech's technical director Huang Zongming frowned slightly, a clear displeasure flashed on his face, and he said helplessly: "I can't interfere with the boss's decision!"
"Boss Huang doesn't agree?"
Wu Feng asked curiously: "I heard that Nintendo's offer is very sincere!"
"I still know some of the peers in Japan!"
Huang Zongming shook his head and didn't intend to continue.
Wu Feng was overjoyed; it seemed that there was great hope for poaching.
It was just that it was useless to say more right now; it wouldn't be too late to wait until the two arcade games were developed.
That's right, he had already started preparing to poach VTech's wall.
Of course, it was to poach the wall after Nintendo's acquisition was completed!
Speaking of which, it was also annoying!
At this time, Nintendo was absolutely the hegemon of the world's home game industry!
The Famicom they developed and shocked the world had already been platformized.
That is to say, they allowed outside game companies to produce 8-bit game cartridges, and Nintendo held the Famicom to collect rent, doing a business that was sure to make a profit.
There was no need to acquire other game companies at all, but if any company produced 8-bit game cartridges and wanted to rely on the Famicom to sell them, they had to pay 'security' fees according to the rules.
But Nintendo targeted VTech, which was on the rise, and it was hard not to make Wu Feng think more.
Even VTech's technical staff might face the possibility of being shelved or fired after the company was acquired; sometimes you really can't overestimate the bottom line of the Japanese.
As long as the technical director of VTech could be taken down, a new game development and production company could be reorganized at any time, and it would be the kind of company with strong immediate combat effectiveness.
It seemed that establishing a game company could not be delayed.
When leaving VTech, Wu Feng's mood had become calm.
Getting into the van, he called the Mainland directly to ask about the construction of the arcade factory.
This was the money-making tool in his hand; as long as the arcade factory's machines were running normally, the produced arcades would be white silver.
The situation was not bad!
The construction of the arcade factory was nearing the end, and the production equipment was being debugged.
Once the debugging was completed, it could immediately produce at full power!
Not only that, the Mainland side also gave him a surprise: previously entrusted to the Pengcheng Municipal Government and the military, they hired microelectronics technical personnel and experts from the Mainland with high salaries, and there were already results.
Nearly ten technical personnel and experts had signed contracts with the Mainland arcade factory.
According to Wu Feng's requirements, they were all paid according to Hong Kong standards!
Everyone knows the truth of buying horse bones with thousands of gold, not to mention those people were not horse bones, but real talents.
He just wanted to set an example and let more relevant technical talents take the initiative to join!
A monthly salary of 10,000 yuan was enough to cause a sensation in the Mainland.
In addition, there were several research institutes with digital numbers willing to cooperate with the arcade factory. They were responsible for providing technical support, and the arcade factory was mainly responsible for providing capital for R&D.
Wu Feng agreed immediately, feeling very happy in his heart!
He certainly knew what was going on with the research institutes with digital numbers.
Their research strength was absolutely not bad; as long as they were given enough food and ammunition, and figured out the R&D path of arcades and cartridge games, it would be really simple to get started.
"Agree, all agree!"
Wu Feng's tone carried a bit of excitement, and he said loudly: "Isn't it just money? I have plenty!"
He didn't believe it; with such powerful technical support, plus a rich story material library, he couldn't establish a first-class or even super first-class game development and production company!
If the Japanese still wanted to play the trick of changing the bird in the cage, then go dream; everything is in the dream.
Hanging up the phone, his mood was great for a while!
If it weren't for the wrong time, he would have wanted to go to the nightclub in his territory to wander around.
It wasn't that he had any bad intentions, but watching beauties could make his mood more pleasant.
As for the beauty nest next door, he didn't dare to go.
Those fairies were too enthusiastic, and he couldn't handle it, and it wasn't good to show a cold face.
But just then, the mobile phone ringtone on the close underling's body rang.
"Big Brother, it's Boss Liao from Yindu Institution!"
Forget it, it seemed there was something else to be busy with.
"Hey, Boss Liao, what's the matter?"
Wu Feng took the phone and asked directly.
With their relationship, there was no need to be polite; that would make it seem distant.
"Oh, go to Yindu Institution? I'll go over right now!"
Hanging up the phone, he ordered the driver underling, and the five vans immediately rushed to Yindu Institution.
After arriving at the place, he let the underlings move freely, and he just took his assistant into the Yindu Institution building.
"Boss Liao, you suddenly called me over, what happened?"
After he sat down in the chairman's office, he asked directly: "Is it about the movie?"
"That's not it!"
Chairman Liao sat on the sofa opposite Wu Feng, his face quite embarrassed.
"What's going on?"
Wu Feng felt more and more inexplicable, looking at Chairman Liao waiting for him to speak.
"It's like this!"
Chairman Liao cleared his throat and smiled bitterly: "It's a bit shameful to say, but the matter has to be dealt with, so I can only help pass the message!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Feng and asked: "Wu Feng, your factory in the Mainland is quite large, right!"
"Indeed quite large!"
Wu Feng nodded and admitted, saying directly: "At present, including the garment factory and the sneaker factory, the number of employees in the two factories has exceeded 3,000, and there is a need for expansion later!"
Speaking of this, he showed a sudden realization and said amusingly: "Boss Liao, is it that the Mainland side wants me to continue to expand the factory area and production? Then just continue to expand!"
"No, it's not this matter!"
Chairman Liao's expression was a bit strange, and he said embarrassedly: "In your factory, are there many retired veterans?"
"That's for sure!"
Wu Feng said as a matter of course: "If it weren't for worrying about the dissatisfaction of the local government and residents, I would want to recruit all retired soldiers; they have strong discipline and are easy to manage!"
"In addition..."
Speaking of this, Wu Feng's face was also quite strange, but he still said it: "To be honest, the security environment in Pengcheng at this time is not very ideal!"
"I understand, I understand!"
Chairman Liao breathed a sigh of relief, his face even showing a relieved expression, and smiled bitterly: "What I want to say is the matter of your factory area!"
"Every time it's payday, there will be some trouble and a few fights!"
Hearing this, how could Wu Feng not understand what was going on?
The smile on his face couldn't be maintained; could such things be brought to the table?
"Then Boss Liao, what ideas do you have?"
At this time, his mood could only be described as complicated; this was truly speechless.
"No need to do anything!"
Chairman Liao suggested with his head down: "Find a time to go to the Mainland, meet with local relevant government officials and have a drink; that side just wants an attitude, and at the same time, it is an explanation to the locals!"
"Okay!"
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Wu Feng didn't reject Chairman Liao's kindness.
He knew that Chairman Liao must have helped clear up some relationships before, easing some contradictions that could not be stated clearly.
Otherwise, the factory was there, and as a local snake, there were plenty of ways to toss it, and he could only suffer in silence.
Of course, if it really reached this step, the situation would be completely different.
Did they really think his identity as a triad big brother was for nothing? If they had the ability to toss, don't come to Hong Kong or go abroad in the future!
